Name: Iris Grace (Sometimes just called Grace)
Age: 14
Personality: Iris is a friendly, quiet girl who spends a great deal of her free time watching others, reading books and playing sports. Because her brain is partially assisted by AI, she is able to think calm and rationally even under tense situations. However, she takes a bit of a hit to her empathy, occasionally causing tensions between her and others. She's uneasy about the idea of there being a "robot in her brain", but there's nothing she can do about it despite her existential crisis.

Battle-Style: Grace is a Sniper by calling, she favours long-ranged engagements and often provides crucial reconnaissance during missions. Because of her role overlooking the battlefield from afar, she works together with orbital and other long-ranged support in order to coordinate attacks.

Hospitalized Special One: Her father, who could often be found at her side tinkering with her cybernetics. Lost his arm during an enemy raid, and had to go back to earth in order to receive the proper surgery to replace it.

Background: Iris Grace is the daughter of a famed cyberneticist, who worked closely with the military to help provide highly effective cybernetic implants and prosthetics to military personnel. His wife passed away a few years after his daughter's birth, leaving him to take care of her on his own. He was a bit awkward, but got along well with his young daughter, and the two of them had a happy, healthy father-daughter relationship.

When he heard his daughter had been mixed up in a terrible drone accident, he was beside himself with grief. His daughter had received severe brain trauma, and it seemed there would be little they could do to help her. But then, her father remembered his research, and in a series of acts that would get him imprisoned if human rights activists ever heard about it: He fixed his daughter.

Replacing her damaged organs was the easiest part, and the critically wounded arm was hardly any more difficult. The problem was the brain. Up until this point, the success in this field was limited at best, and if he did it wrong he risked killing or further damaging his daughter's fragile mind. He pulled through, though, and his daughter was cured. She doesn't remember that time very well, but ever since then she has been subtly different from how she was before. And not just in the sense that she has a robot arm, either.

Other things: Iris is a cyborg, with several cybernetic implants across her body and a robotic arm. Most importantly, parts of her brain have been replaced, and an AI of sorts inhabits those parts to assist her organic brain in information processing and memory maintenance. This means her memory and other mind-skills are a little better than most, as she has the help of a computer.

Appearance: Drake is around 5'8, with white hair and icy blue eyes. He has a small build, with some muscle do to his basic daily training. He bears a rather angled face, rather good-looking for his age, marred only by a jagged scar he has on his right cheek, of which he tells no one how he obtained it. Pretty much like this
Name: Drake Dornstein

Age: 15

Personality: He is over all a relaxed individual, but has two great passions. One is his scientific love of technology, of which his skill is prodigical and his contributions to Combat nanotechnology numerous. His second passion is one he refuses to acknowledge, his absolute hatred of the Cruxi. The reason for his repression us because to him the Cruxi are a mystery that should be studied, and a scientist can not feel hatred to his research. But ever since his father's hospitalization, and the annihilation of his family that his father survived, it has been there. A Ice cold rage that only serves to keen his edge and harden his heart in the only place where he shows it freely, in battle.

Battle-Style: He's a Pointmen, leading the charge and making sure the enemy doesn't have time to worry about anyone else. He fights with a calm, cold, detached, and efficent savagery, a style reflective of his repressed hatred of the Cruxi.

Hospitalized Special One: His father is currently in intensive care, having been hit hard in a Cruxi attack on a colony world, one of the few survivors of the attack.

Background: For most of his life, Drake has been obsessed with technology, the highest on his list being that of the Cruxi, followed by that which allows the frameworks to function as they do. He spent all of his life learning about these advanced technologies, ones he shouldn't be able to comprehend for decades. But he never faltered, and somehow, he began to understand the complex equations and theories, as if they had become like a second language to him. He si has become sort of an expert in nano-technologies, and their use in the assimilation of Cruxi tech. His entire life has been devoted to either this or simulator training frameworks, something he alway wanted to do, but never believed would happen. Unfortunately, this came at the cost at his social skills. He can't communicate well outside of combat, and tends to be rather tactless. He also has no concept of social cues, sarcasm, or personal space.

Other things: He bears an interests in cyborg physiology and how the affects of mechanical parts have on their mental state. Has a rather large sweet tooth.
He had his arms replaced with robotic prosthetics, both of which have a smaller version of a nano queen implanted in his wrists.

Frameworks

Framework Name: Nidhogg

Appearance: Streamline this alittle, and get rid of the gun barrel in the chest, and you have Nidhogg

Primary Weapon-Type:Nano Omni-Matrix: A circular holographic matrix that forms design frames for Nidhogg's Elite nano-bots, which are able to create more powerful weaponry than the O.I. nanos. It can form into any offensive weapon that it has the code for. At the moment, this include Greatsword, Dual Longswords, Graviton Chain Blade, and Dual-sided Energy Blade. Their is a time delay between the switching of weapons, as well as if they break or are damaged by an enemy attack

Secondary Weapon Type: Yggdrasil Boosters and Jet Pack: A high class set of boosters which helps Nidhogg stay highly mobile, manueverable, and fast. It also useful in leading the charge in assaults, as well as for a quick escape if the situation get's hairy. They can also be overcharged to give him speed to insane levels for about 30 seconds, afterwards they will be useless for about two minutes due to overheating,

Side-socket 1: Defensive/Support(D.S) Nano-tech Canister: This Canister holds some of Drake's experimental nano-bots, which can take apart and rebuild any material. They are capable of battlefield repairs, creation of low power shielding tech, and the assimilation of Cruxi tech into usable material.

Side-socket 2: Offensive/Invasive(O.I) Nano-tech Canister: These nano-bots are less versatile, as they lack the abilities of the D.S type, but make up for it in that they have a faster rate of deconstruction, and can create numerous small arms for Nidhogg, anything from Laser pistols to Concussive grenades. They are constantly being created by a nano-bot queen which relays the orders of the pilot to the bots. The D.S. also has a queen that serves the same function.

Special Ability:Ragnarok: Nidhogg overloads the Omni matrix in order to temporarily boost the abilities of his Nanobot's, as well as his general abilities, This allows his bots to form into an array of A.I. controlled attack drones, known as Valkyries, that have high powered energy beams that can be fired from several output valves on its chasis(max number: around 3). He can also make and carry larger, more powerful versions of the matrix codes. This is only temporary, as after Ragnorok ends, the matix codes return to normal.

Pilots

Name: Tsukihime, Manami

Age: 16

Appearance:


Personality: Usually very well mannered and sweet, prone to avoiding violence when she can, and tries to be agreeable with everyone. Usually.

Battle-Style: Medium ranged combatant.

Hospitalized Special One: Her brother, and only family.

Background: She was born on one of the outer rim planets, where she had a relatively quiet life with her family. After finishing grade school, Manami was sent to a school somewhere out on the inner side planets, where she lived with one of her grandparents. It was the sole reason she did not burn with the rest of her planet as the Cruxi attacked. It was like a dream to her then, a bad nightmare narrated in a foreign language, unreal and intangible. It was very hard to believe her family would just.... disappear like that.
When the refugee ships started arriving, she waited at the port every day, anticipating their arrival everyday, but returned disappointed each time. One day however, her brother returned to her, though it was not the happy reunion she had hoped for. His body was badly burned, caught in some explosion that had also put him in a deep coma. It was something to think about, but there was still the loss of her other family members.If that wasn't bad enough, she was captured when she was on the way to visit her brother at the hospital, and put in a mech with no real explanation other than she was to become a soldier to kill Cruxi.

Other things: notice me senpai

Frameworks

Framework Name: Siegfried

Appearance:

The cape is actually a composite material designed as a heat sink, being tough, durable, and flexible enough to resemble cloth.

Primary Weapon-Type: A longsword with a sheath. It has Gramr etched on its handle. The most distinctive of its weaponries.

Secondary Weapon Type: Wrist mounted claws, sharp and tough enough to tear through most materials. When not deployed it functions as wrist mounted machineguns firing compressed quantum particles at a high rate. Its relatively powerful, but prone to overheating if fired non stop.

Side-socket 1: Disruptor dust grenades. Designed to refract and dissipate energy beams from most kinds of energy weapons.

Side-socket 2: Super heated throwing daggers. It heated, and its hot. Its also a dagger that can be thrown so its pointy part sticks into things. Since its also heated it tends to go in deep.

Special Ability: The crystals on its body starts emitting quantum particles, in a rare example of bumblebee logic. The particles, wreathing Siegfried's entire body, has the curious property of enhancing and boosting it's abilities, primarily it's agility. A secondary effect, would be collecting those particle and actually creating (a) solid weapon(s) in hand(s) as long as it continues generating particles. The particle weapons are almost always simple weapons, as complex circuitry and set up like a large laser gun are hard to replicate. As a product of particles forced together, the weapons created in this manner are always unstable and prone to exploding if outside the generated particles range, and as such cannot be used safely by other mechs or the likes.

Name: •Zan Carter
•Age: 17
•Appearance: Zan is 6'3" and weighs 200 lbs. He has black hair that is cut short. The color of his eyes is brown. Zan is muscular because he spends a good amount of his free time weight lifting. Zan is handsome. Zan has a scar that starts at the left side of his upper lip, it goes down in a straight line and ends on his bottom lip. If Zan shaves in the morning, he'll have a 5 o'clock shadow around afternoon.
•Personality: While out of combat, Zan is the type of person you want to be your friend. He'll have your back no matter what the situation is, he would die for his friends. He will never tell a secret. Zan is more of a listener, than a talker. Zan tends to be one that people ask for advice. In combat against Cruxi, Zan's priorities change, he becomes obsessed with killing Cruxi in revenge. His friends get placed on the back burner. Though there is probably going to be times that Zan will "break out" of his need to get revenge on the Cruxi.
•Battle-Style: Berserker is the perfect word for Zan when he is fighting Cruxi, he has no regard for himself for or anything. Killing Cruxi is the only thing that matters to him.
•Hospitalized Special One: None of his immediate family, if any of his family is hospitalized it is unknown to him. (Meaning his Mom, Dad, Siblings, and Grandparents.)
•Background: Zan had a normal life. His family wasn't poor, nor rich, they were just average. He was eldest child of six. All of his siblings were girls to Zan's misery. Zan become an older brother when he was eight years old. His parents had one child each year until Zan was thirteen. His mom and dad both worked, so helped take care of his younger sisters.

Zan had an extremely average childhood, until the Cruxi attacked. Luckily, Zan's parents were not working on that fateful day. His parents rushed him and his sisters to the evacuation zones. When they got there and on the evacuation shuttle; they noticed Lily, the third oldest, was not there. His dad tried to get off the evac. shuttle to go search for Lily, but the soldiers would not let him off. Right before the door of the shuttle closed, Zan rushed out of the shuttle determined to find his sister. Zan got out of the evacuation zone before the Cruxi attacked the evac. zone. Zan watched as the shuttle his family was in get destroyed in a horrible explosion. Zan was about to break down and start crying, then he remembered about Lily. He went back to search for her, retracing his family's steps. While Zan was searching for his sister, he was abruptly grabbed by a soldier who carried Zan to the militaries' fall back location. Zan fought to get out of the man's grip, yelling at the soldier to let go, that need to find his sister. The soldier told Zan to shut up and stop struggling, that he was saving his life. Zan stopped struggling knowing he couldn't get away, he started to break down. He started mumbling about needing to find his sister. The soldier got Zan to the fall back location and dragged him onto the militaries' last ship leaving Zan's home world. Since Zan had no living relatives as far as he and the government knew, he became a ward of the state. Zan still doesn't know whether his sister got off world safely, or if she died like the rest of his family.
•Other things: The only way Zan can sleep is by taking medication, because every time he closes his eyes to sleep he is haunted by the image of his sister, Lily. During the anniversary month of the Cruxi attacking Zan's home world, he becomes very different emotionally and has mood swings. Zan goes from being extremely depressed to extremely angry.

•Framework Name: Пожертвовать
•Primary Weapon-Type: Instead of having a primary, or secondary weapon this Framework has reinforced joints. The reason why is that this Framework rips Cruxi apart with its hands and that the stress from doing that has a high chance of damaging the Framework without the reinforced joints. Also Пожертвовать has a mouth full razor sharp teeth to bite through Cruxi's armor.
•Secondary Weapon Type: N/A
•Side-socket 1: N/A
•Side-socket 2: N/A
•Special Ability: гнев: Nothing really amazing just Пожертвовать's defensive and offensive capabilities increase.
•Other:
Пожертвовать roughly translates to "to sacrifice" in Russian.
гнев means "anger" in Russian.
