@Silverwind Blade It was all part of the plan B) Glad you liked it, though

And then Adrian caught some wicked gains.


Killer bunny™, now with 35% more muscle mass! I used to put my stuff on Imageshack, but they went all 30-day-trial-bullshite. I'll upload the rest on Imgur, since you were kind enough to mirror the first three

@Cartwright You'd better scramble 'im quick so I can include 'im in the next batch

Here is a draft of the CS

Character Name: Dane Abraven
Age: 22
Species: Desert Fox

Appearance: Dane is is a overall average figure in both build and height with the color tan being the dominating color to his fur. He also carries a scar on his forehead but hides it with a patrol BDU cap most of the time which is probably one of the few things unique to him aside from the crimson red eyes he had inherited from his father. What he wears varies depending on the situation, but when deployed he either wears the airman's jumpsuit or the LDF BDU but will always make sure he has his plate carrier when he is flying which is one significant thing that sets him apart from Kensington compared to the senior airman's assault vest. Oh and he loves aviators... A lot.

Personality: Dane is an overall timid and quiet individual with a variety of exceptions. In some circumstances where there is a more laid back surrounding or the higher ranks aren't present he might open up, and when he needs to talk he isn't hesitant in doing so. He usually carries that professional image though with a lot of respect for his superiors like any other soldier. On top of that he carries that brotherhood mindset with those he works with, working for their well being in his heart despite any decision he makes being bad or good. When it comes to decision making he 'usually follows orders' but always has that gut feeling deep inside with the warrior's influence being the primary factor that guides him.

Personal History: Dane was a more urban person during his childhood, experiencing the technology, the fun, and the media that surrounded him during that time. With urban society though comes it's flaws and bad parts of town which he had been exposed to for a good portion of his life. Despite having no father and a mother that was buried with her job he was always that 'good guy' on the block; fighting for the younger folks and being respectful to those who weren't total douchebags on the streets. It got him into a lot of trouble, with disciplinary referrals to even a moment where he was almost hauled off to jail and put on the books as a criminal. To society he was one of those troubled kids; a lost cause to the 'hood environment' that surrounded him.

With such a bad label and a bad neighborhood, the desert fox was dead set on proving everyone around him wrong. With his brother's words and a daily news broadcast that showed the world outside his street he soon found a drive to leave the struggle around him and become something that was more significant than some warehouse worker or some store assistant. That answer came to him in his PADD as he checked for messages. When he looked in one day he noticed an advertisement about the LDF and after weeks of contemplating he embraced the idea of being a military man but more or so the idea of being a pilot like in a movie called 'fly dogs' he had watched prior to signing up.

During training he proved to be a great fly boy and a great soldier overall, but in some cases he was cited for deviating from his orders and even defying them despite the specific action he took. With that weighing him down he was probably never going to see a decent fight in his life, that was until a request for a co-pilot came in, and supervisors with a lack of faith in the division it came from decided to just throw someone who they deemed dispensable their way. He knew it, but kept quiet about it, dead set on taking this opportunity to prove those damned supervisors wrong.

Weapons and Equipment: The co pilot carries the same pistol as Kensington with three spare clips resting in their pouches on his utility belt. Depending on the situation his equipment can vary, but if the odds are in favor and he manages to get his pack he has a smoke grenade, three flares, a minor disruption device (So to help him avoid any hostile search parties), a distress beacon, three packets of field dressing along with a morphine and epipherine autoin-jector, and food and drink to help him survive.

ROUNDED UP INTO LIST[Survival Pack]:

1x Smoke Grenade
3x Signal Flares
1x Minor Disruption Device (To aid in avoiding being detected by hostile search parties)
1x Distress Beacon
3x Field Dressing
1x Epipherine Auto-injector
1x Morphine Auto-injector
Food and drink

If odds aren't in his favor he will be reduced to his handgun, his plate carrier, and his headset along with an extra pair of aviator glasses (cus you gotta look good even if you die)
ROUNDED INTO LIST[Carried regularly]:
3x T20 Handgun Clips
1x T20 Handgun (Refer to Kensington's CS)
1x Plate Carrier (Protects from handgun caliber rounds)
1x Headset
1x Extra Glasses.

Dane looks good, Cart. I'm happy to approve him. Post his sheet over in the CS tab as soon as you're ready.
I'll edit my last post so that he's the one bringing the chopper out to Ken, as that would make more sense than ferrying him back to the Claw, and then heading back out again, I think.

I'll try and get a post up today, although I have a few things on for today. If not, it'll definitely be tomorrow.

New post is up, with replies to everyones' last round included. Action time has begun, and I included something I've been wanting to mention since the first incarnation of GEARs too, liberated from Full Metal Panic (where a lot of the other ideas for the GEARs come from!).
Time to get the action moving!

Also, just as a side note - I always figured that this is the rough size of a normal GEAR. Not Gundam huge; small enough to move around in an urban environment without wrecking the joint, and also to be light and nimble enough (comparatively) as well. Also light enough that heavier armour (such as tanks and wheeled vehicles) still have a big share of the heavier firepower, and that they're vulnerable to lighter shoulder-fired and crew-served weapons as well as heavy vehicle-mounted. Still big enough though, to mount all the systems in the document about them, and mount the kind of firepower they're supposed to carry.

Also, just in case it still wasn't clear either, GEARs don't lumber around like Battletech mechs, either. They're anime style; they run, jump, dodge, dive, climb, slide and have the normal full range of human movement and reactions. This game is, after all, meant to be based squarely on the Japanese animation school of thought regarding mecha, rather than the western one, with slower and more ponderous robots.

Yeah, I'm happy for you to post for him, much like Es does for the fireteam. I also edited my previous post to match the latest one if you hadn't noticed too.

All of the replies to your characters' comments, questions, and suggestions will be thusly included, along with any corrections or clarifications on the situation. Although, I may make an OOC post just laying out the curren tactical situation and everyone's relative locations and activities as well, so everyone knows where to act from.

NEW IC IS UP

A breakdown of the tactical situation:

-The town is roughly an oval blob around five miles in area.
-The Landcruiser docks are in the south, where we started from.
-Currently, the Imperial forces, Kuraiko, Irry, Es and the Fireteam are all on the Eastern Side of town.
-The Imperials are heading to the West Side of town, where Blade, Mike, Aidan and Adrian are all positioned to intercept them.
-The Warehouse where the Princess and the second group of unknown enemies (assumed to be Southern forces) are located is a few blocks behind them to the West
-Kellia is waiting for the Fireteam and their ATV to pick her up at the touch-down point for the teams' GEARs after the BGD. She has some info on the Warehouse and is ready to assist them.
-There are ten Imperials total. They are skilled opponents, with high-end military GEARs, and equipped with powerful weapons. I.e., they are not idiots, and not a pushover.
-Four of the Imperial GEARs have broken off to engage Blade, Mike, Aiden and Adrian currently. Six remain in the mid-part of town, still moving west.
-local forces consist of wheeled light armour (stryker equivalents) and light vehicles (hummvee equivalents), with scattered man-portable heavy weapons in infantry units. No GEARs, tanks or aircraft.

Hopefully this will make things clear for upcoming posts, so that nothing gets missed out when people are posting, and I have to do in-character leaps, or run-arounds to make things make sense.
