Name: Jacqueline Hammer (Usually just goes by Jack, will begrudgingly tolerate Jackie)
Age: 28
Appearance:
Before conversionEquipment:
Her MEC suit, (obviously not her in that, just a suit ref) which has really seen better days and currently has a lot of improvised repairs. It's also one of the earlier models, if she had one of the more modern ones she would in theory be much stronger. She also has an old chaingun that's been slightly modified for her suit to be able to hold, though she doesn't use it too much. Since it relies on ballistics, many modern shields simply deflect it, though the rapid fire means it can be good for overworking cheaper shields and causing them to burn out.
And for contrast,
a modern MEC suitHer suit offers numerous other tools and devices, one of the more notable ones being a suite of features that allows her to seal the suit and survive in a vacuum. Due to the air scrubbers, she would die of thirst or hunger before running out of air. Jump jets also allow her to move around in zero gravity, as well as jump up and down from high platforms in regular gravity.
Former/Current Occupation: Formerly a soldier in one of the major Earth united continental armies, now still a soldier though the hierarchy has mostly been shattered.
Personality: Jacqueline is a loud individual who completely lacks a poker face. She doesn't have the best education, but has learned some basic math and engineering just as a necessity due to her modified body. She's generally fairly friendly, and unfortunately for those around her she doesn't have much sense of personal space.
Biography: Jacqueline joined a military company nearly as soon as she came of age. She proved to be a capable warrior, and when the aliens began their assault on Earth-controlled planets, Jack was on the front lines against them. As such, it was only a matter of time until she was wounded. She was actually wounded quite badly, the result of an alien bomb that took out most of her unit. She was fortunate enough to be able to hold on until help arrived, pulling her broken body off the battlefield.
She at this point essentially had two options: one, accept her future as a crippled war veteran missing most of her limbs, or two, volunteer for the MEC program, have the remainder of her ruined limbs removed, and be outfitted with cybernetic interfaces to allow her to use one of the mighty MEC suits produced to combat the aliens. She chose the second option.
A capable soldier even before her conversion, her augmentations have left her capable of fairly easily punching through stone walls. She's a decent shot with a gun, as stabilizers in her suit generally assist her aim, but her real advantage in that regard is that she can carry weapons simply too large for anyone else, which while helpful in a firefight is also fantastic as an intimidation technique. Her mass comes with some tradeoffs though, namely that she's an easy target in a firefight and sometimes has a hard time fitting through doors. She also weighs as much as a mid-sized car.
Now though, with Earth gone, she's one of the few surviving MEC troopers, and it's unlikely that any new ones will be produced in the foreseeable future. The way she sees it though, that just means that she has the legacy of her kind on her shoulders, and she's not off-duty until the remnants of Humanity are safe. She might not know how to chart a course through the stars or snipe an enemy from a mile away, but she'll do everything her massive metal form allows to protect those around her and lash out at the aliens that stole Earth from Humanity.
