[center][h2][b][color=92278f]Madison Cole (Madi)[/color][/b][/h2] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Wo50HYU.png[/img][/center] [color=92278f][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Madi has a young appearance considering she's in her early 20's with an appreciation for heavy, hard wearing clothing, the type that a factory worker would wear. She wears a large pair of boots that make a thumping sound when she walks, whether it's due to their size or if she's doing it on purpose is something that nobody really knows. [color=92278f][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Madi can come across as a fairly loud and an occasionally egotistical individual, often attempting to trying to outshine those around her in one way or another. Deep down though she has fair bit of trust in her comrades, but at the same time a lack of trust for people in general. On the battlefield Madi can be found with loud music playing within the cockpit of her NC and during a fight she will sometimes go a bit overboard, becoming too enthusiastic and emptying her ammo reserves long before her comrades. This attitude towards combat is what earned her the Code-Name of Mad-e. [color=92278f][b]Background:[/b][/color] Madi was born above ground in a small community but was left abandoned when her entire settlement was wiped out. She was only a small girl at the time and was discovered by a small group from the colony of Smith's Rest as she wandered the empty wasteland, sad and alone. They decided to take her back and placed her under the care of an engineer known as Duncan Brown. There she grew up for the next 17 years and learnt how to operate and use the different types of machinery that Duncan worked on. [color=92278f][b]Tactical Preferences/Skills:[/b][/color] Madison likes to focus on Long and Mid-Range combat, using the long range abilities of her NC only as a means to get in closer for some serious action. Her crazed attitude towards fighting can often lead to her pushing her NC to near breaking point.

For the time being it is a ground unit as the flight engines are currently being worked on in order to take the weight and strains that the Mad-e endures. [color=92278f][b]Type/Quality[/b][/color] Mad-e is, for the most part, a mid-range assault NC. It's main role is to clear out as much of the enemy forces it can while staying out of the way of the short range attackers. It has heavy armour plating that helps protect the unit but this mostly a collection of metal plating that has been found around the colony and welded to the NC. Due to this fact many of the sheets that cover important componentry have weak points, cracks and ingrained rust that cannot be seen easily until the unit is out on the battlefield and in the thick of it. Adding to that, and thanks mostly to Madison's recklessness, the Mad-e's weapons will occasionally overheat and jam, leaving her vulnerable to counter attacks. [color=92278f][b]Equipment[/b][/color] - A quad set of VTOL engines that allow long distance flight and when overcharged, will allow a quick back dodge. (Currently being worked on) - A smoke launcher that will disperse a cloud of roughly 100m diameter around the NC. - A night vision and IR camera to help assist during smoky and dark situations. - The targeting system uses line of sight to locate and identify the enemy. Madi then has to select each target and aim at them manually in order to take them down. (This also means that she will have to rely on her comrades for spotting any ambush attacks) [color=92278f][b]Armaments[/b][/color] - The main cannon on the shoulder can fire mortar warheads that explode mid air and rain down with individual grenades. The reload time on this cannon isn't very quick and the NC only has the storage for a few warheads. - The right arm is equipped with a rotary gatling gun - The left arm is equipped with slug cannon that will fire heavier rounds. It is a much slower weapon but packs a lot of punch. [color=92278f][b]General Description/Notes:[/b][/color] Until the VTOL system is complete, the Mad-e needs to be airlifted by another NC or aerial units to it's desired location.

He's often wearing ragged, torn clothes that are usually covered in grease and dirt. [b][color=00a651]Personality:[/color][/b] Duncan is a quiet man who is very reassuring and intelligent. He likes to view things from a far and will attempt to cool down any disagreements that happen around his vicinity. To add to this he is very caring, positive and easily approachable. [b][color=00a651]Background:[/color][/b] Duncan grew up in Smith's Rest and found a passion for engineering at a young age. He took to the toolbox like a duck to water and for over 25 years has been someone that can be relied on for repairing any of the equipment that has broken down in the area. Back in his early 20's he was asked to take care of Madison and happily did so. He taught her a lot about the colony and what it meant to live within Smith's Rest. Nowadays he is her lead mechanic on her NC and is quite often repairing the machine that she so happily damages.
