#Mecha **Mecha Name:** PS-718 Phantasm **Appearance:**   **Armaments:** -Helios HPM: A high-powered microwave emitter, the Helios does minimal structural damage to its targets, but it wreaks havoc with electronics and volatile materials. The general use of the Helios is to systematically cripple a target, rather than destroying it. **Special Equipment** - Advanced Infotech Suite: The Phantasm is equipped with a variety of long range, high sensitivity sensors and tools for encryption, decryption, signal intelligence, and jamming. - MIRAGE (Magnetic Iron Radar Aperture Guise Equipment): The MIRAGE is a system meant to spoof object identification. The system itself is a set of pods each containing a supply of fine grain iron sand and an electromagnetic field generator. By modulating the magnetic field, the iron sand can be held in a variety of shapes to create misleading RADAR silhouettes (for example, appearing to be a superiority fighter or bomber, rather than an EW mecha; or even a cruiser, destroyer, or battleship). Under appropriate facings and lighting conditions, the system may be able to fool optical or IR scanning, but it is less reliable. **Mecha Specs:** **Long Range Combat** A **Medium Range Combat** C **Close Range Combat** D **Armor** C **Speed** B **Agility** B **Strength** D **Shielding** N/A **Mecha Quirks:** There's a small decal (about 6 inches across) painted onto the tip of the Phantasm's left tail fluke, depicting a dismayed cartoon weasel with the letters YGBSM underlining the illustration.

Motto: "I´ll show them the strength of man born among stars!" **Mech** Name: Mrk-005- "Heat Jack" Appearance:  Armaments: Heat Jacks primary weapon system is a custom plasma rifle rigged for more punch in moderate distances, long range combat suffers as a direct result.

##Character Sheet **Name:** Rodrigo "Rock" Zedler **Age:** 28 **Gender:** Male **Appearance:**  Do ignore the eye patch. **Place of Birth:** Space Colony next to an asteroid belt. **Bio:** Rodrigo, or Rock, as he likes to be called by others, was born in a Space Colony near an asteroid belt. Given that he is silent by nature and often stared at the passing asteroids with such interest that he gained the nickname Rock. There weren't a lot of kids in the space station, it was a Space Station, after all, and not many people at the time wanted their kids to grow up in such an isolated space. Rock didn't mind, though, it was almost a bit too perfect for him. He appreciated the silent purr of the machienery all across the station and the peace one could feel there. Maybe what also was really good was the fact that they were neutral and, with the overactive imagination he had, he wasn't worried about any kind of war that might break out. He felt safe, one way or the other. That was, of course, while he was a kid. When he became a teenager, his wanderlust became to strong for him to just stay put. He decided to leave the Space station in search of adventure, romance, action....! Sadly, he found none of this and rather just started a little time bodyguard work. sometimes, transporting things from Venus or Jupiter, or any other place that produces lots of things for the good of humanity, blah, blah, blah. While his wanderlust has driven him into a life a bit boring, he has picked up different skills from the places he has worked in. At some point, he has picked a knack for engineering and also likes it a lot. If given the opportunity, he would like to formally study a career that involves that, mainly focused on the making and repair of mechas. Also, he changed life in the space station for life in a Lunar Colony. Rents were low, it seems, and he can also watch how they build mechas and ships. He built his mecha from thrown away parts and by repairing a mecha that was mostly destroyed, of course, with the help of a few friends. **Talents/Skills:** He's good at engineering, though most of his skills are only just those some engineers taught him in the workplaces he has worked in before, so they are not nearly enough to be compared with an actual professional, though he isn't that far from them. His reflexes are second to none, so his mecha totally suits his skills. **Anything else of interest:** He is horrible at cooking, so he mostly eats instant food and fast food, how he keeps fit is a mystery. He also uses glasses, though only inside his cockpit and when reading. ##Mecha Sheet **Mecha Name:** Schwarzbiss **Appearance:**  **Armaments:** A pair of SMG's attached to its arms. Also, it can use its hands as claws. **Special Equipment:** The tail of this mecha is extremely durable and can pierce easily through another mecha with a slightly better plating than it has. All of the mecha's plating is extremely fragile, and could easily be pierced by just bullets, however, the hands, forearms, legs and feet are also extremely durable, and can protect the mecha from major damages. **Mecha Specs:**  **Long Range Combat:** D **Medium Range Combat:** C **Close Range Combat:** A **Armor:** D **Speed:** A **Agility:** A **Strength:** B **Shielding:** None, would overload the mecha. **Mecha Quirks:** At first, he tried to make the whole mecha extremely durable, like the special parts of it, but simulations revealed that it would be too heavy for it too move as Rock wanted and also had many setbacks, aside from it being too expensive to cover it whole in the special plating, so, as a prank, in the back the words 'SUPER SPECIAL PLATING' are written in big letters.

### **Character Skeleton** **Name:** Marsha Wells **Age:** 29 **Gender:** Female **Appearance:**  **Place of Birth:** Mars Colony **Bio:** A third Generation Martian, Marsha Wells was immersed in Martian culture from birth and has inherited much of that so called ‘frontier spirit’. Independence is a great commodity on Mars and her family even went as far as to join one of the radical groups wishing for Mars to become a completely independent planet; However, Marsha was more of the explorer type than a political independent and so left the colony for the reaches of space at 18 years of age by joining the Mars Expeditionary Force. As an exploration group and pseudo-military, Marsha gained quite a bit of experience over the years as she traveled the Solar System. Before starting off on her own in the private security business, she managed to achieve the rank of lieutenant at the age of 25. After entering the private security business she found herself still itching to explore space, therefore she has been handing out her services to expeditions heading out into the far reaches of the Solar System. Her latest contract is with the XEON III as it intercepts passing comets for research and mining purposes. **Talents/Skills:** Having been a part of the Martian expeditionary forces, she is trained in various military weapons and hand-to-hand combat. She is also trained in basic Mecha maintenance and Military code. Marsha is quite a strategic thinker and can keep a cool head in combat situations. **Anything else of interest:** Somewhat in contrast to her rigorous background Marsha has a rather unassuming hobby. In her spare time she likes to paint landscapes and spacescapes, not a hobby that many do in this advanced age, at least not with the traditional paint and canvas medium she uses. As ex-expeditionary force she is in the habit of exercising quite frequently to maintain her strength and physique. ### **Mecha Sheet** **Mecha Name:** MVT-012 “Drill Beetle” **Appearance:**  **Armaments:** Twin Gatling Guns located in the underside of its arms. Two Flak Cannons located underneath its ‘wings’. **Special Equipment** The “Drill Beetle” was actually initially designed as a tough, mobile drilling machine for mining asteroids and other hard locations. While this particular machine has been modified to see combat it still keeps its initial name sakes of solid ‘beetle’ armor and the ability to swap out its hands for heavy metal drills. **Mecha Specs:** _Long Range Combat_: D _Medium Range Combat_: A _Close Range Combat_: C _Armor_: A _Speed_: C _Agility_: C _Strength_: B _Shielding_: N/A **Mecha Quirks:** The design of the Mecha allow the machine to curl up for added defense, giving it a second nickname “Pill Bug”. The Mecha’s ‘wings’ are painted with blue ‘veins’, making it look like a beetle in flight when the ‘wings’ pop open for the flak cannons.
