Pilot Sheet

• Name: Elora Liu'un
• Appearance [+]

  
• Age: 14
• Experience: 50%
• Synchronization Rate: 200%
• Personality: Elora is really shy and timid around others, and has a fear of offending anyone. If a boy starts talking to her she may spontaneously start crying, followed by her apologizing profusely. She is submissive and obedient due to being an emotional doormat, but has a bad habit of panicking when the situation turns bad. She blames herself for her colony world being destroyed, and thus apologizes for even the smallest of things in a pitiful attempt to forgive herself.
• Background: Elora never knew her parents, and lived in an orphanage for as long as she could remember. She was bullied there for being timid and shy around others. She wished for the bullying to stop at any cost, and she got her wish granted: her entire colony world was destroyed in a Cruxi attack, and as one of the few survivors she was sent to train in the piloting of a Framewerk. She doesn't remember it, but she has suspicions that she has been experimented on in some way.
• Notable Deaths: Her orphanage, and by extension the colony world she lived on. Possibly her parents.
• Other things: She likes computers and technical stuff, and has a dream of growing up to be an engineer.

Framewerk Sheet

• Framewerk Code Name: Logic Gate
• Appearance [+]

  ]
• Signature Weapon System: Logic Gate main mode of operation is collecting battlefield data which is achieved with the built-in Combat Analyzer, including a cloaking field that can render the Frame undetectable by all but the most advanced tracking systems, but the system deactivates upon opening fire. The Combat Analyzer's main use is in scanning enemy data for possible weak points or other noteworthy intelligence for the pilot to analyze and then relay to other pilots during a mission using the specialized antenna Logic Gate is also built with. While Logic Gate can collect data from a distance in a reasonable time, the process is accelerated with closer distance to the enemy, putting pressure on Elora to keep close during combat despite having poor offensive capability, putting her at risk of being found out. However, given the support of other Framewerks, the tactical advantage given by the collected data is sure to aid the entire squad.
• Secondary Weapon System: Logic Gate is equipped with an Automatic Battle Rifle, or ABR, that has a high rate of fire and low recoil for a kinetic weapon. It is most useful against swarmers or other low-armor enemies, but has poor performance against defensive targets, and completely useless against energy-based barriers.
• Armor Type: Normal
• Special Ability: Telekinesis. Elora harnesses her feelings of helplessness and weakness into an outward force that she can use to move and throw objects of any size or density. However, the more massive an object is, the more it drains her.

Name: Ariin Sorius

Appearance:

His dark hair curls slightly as he never bothers to do more then comb and trim it. His robotic eye emits a soft glow the color often changing as it blinks focus in and out on objects. His human eye a dark blue, like that of a stormy sky. Standing just under five foot nine inches, weighing barely one hundred and eighty-five pounds. A soft smile always tugs at his lips, his hands never seem to stop moving as if they don't know where they belong.

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Experience: 88%

Synchronization Rate: 86%

Personality: Cautious, curious, and quick witted is what you would feel off the young man meeting him the first time. No doubt he would compliment you in some way before brushing past you in a hurry, just in for you to notice a lighter pocket. Friendly and charming his kleptomania has some cause for concern however on base he has always returned what was stolen or covered the cost of the object. While many believe him to annoying or simply a jerk, the doctors believe he steals because it was the only social interaction he had after losing his parents.

Background: Growing up on outer rim world was fairly boring, at least that's what Ariin thought when he was a child. Everyone was a farmer, everyone lived in the middle of nowhere of course tending the land and providing food to large city's on distant planets. Occasionally he'd see traveling hunters who would pass though on their way to the great sea, off to hunt massive serpent whales whose bodies contained Helium-3 a fuel for ships and power plants. These hunters used Framewerk like vehicles to capture and kill the beasts, most of their equipment was insignificant compared to real Framewerks. Ariin would watch them go and dream of being a pilot, living in a major city in the rim, perhaps even being called to fight! It would be wonderfully exciting the young boy thought, of course so few had the talent, his own mother had washed out of the program and his father thought the idea of piloting a Framewerk ridiculous.

His father's disapproval would matter little after the conflict began, Marin Sorius signed up his wife and kids for an exchange to the core worlds shortly after colonies began to go dark. However the night of the ships departure, Gaius four, Ariin's home world came under attack. He had already been on the shuttle with his sisters and younger brother in his arms. A dozen other children rushed aboard, his mother the school teacher had let them take her place on the shuttle. She waved and called out to her children as the shuttle left, she told them she loved them and their father loved them, then the signal cut as plasma scorched earth. His mother was gone, the planet would soon be nothing but glass. Ariin looked at his siblings as they cried, his baby brother whined wishing to be held be his mother, Ariin swore he wouldn't let this happen again, not to what was left of his family.

Now living on Mars, Ariin tried to find work in the city of New Aries however other children pushed him around and often tried to beat him up. Ariin was strong for his size thanks to years of work on the farm and the ten year old's slim build and athletic tendencies made quick on his feet. Often he would beat down his bullies and steal their food and blankets. He provided for his three sisters and brother, year after year at the age of thirteen he began to steal more than food money, parts, and sometimes even jewelry. Ariin had soon amassed enough to get them into a quality apartment in the city. He continued to keep them feed and safe another year, all of siblings even managing to keep good grades in school.

However, after stealing a pocket watch from some guy in a military uniform he found himself cornered in an alley. Not by police but by soldiers, one grabbed him as the other began to beat on him. Beating him down they began to kick him, yet when his youngest sister whose path home from school crossed the alley they had cornered him in, shrieked in horror Ariin looked up. One of the men laughed and another was advancing towards her, he remembered what he'd promised himself. No one in his family was getting hurt again, adrenaline pumping the young man jumped sweeping the legs out from the first soldier and grabbing his knife, he stabbed the man in the throat. The one who had been walking towards his sister drew his blade, understanding the little punk meant business, he dashed at the street rat, Ariin's knife buried in his heart. The perfectly thrown blade stuck deep in to the man's chest. Slowly Ariin started towards the sidewalk, the man whose throat he had cut gurgled crawling towards the edge of the alley, his sister waited for him.

Ariin smiled, he paused looking back at his handiwork with the two jerks, a knife met his right eye as he turned, the gurgling man sounded as if he was laughing. Ariin remembered nothing but his vision blurring red and pain almost impossible to explain. Months later he woke in a hospital, an older man, the same one he'd stolen the pocket watch from and the one who dispatched those two assholes to catch him was there. He explained that Ariin would joining the military as Framewerks pilot as for the past year Colonel Marcus Andres had cared for his family and would continue to as long as Ariin obeyed his commands. Ariin agreed within a months time he was entered into an academy and began training. His training continued under the Colonel after that, he showed very strong Synchronization for someone his age and with experience he would grow into a fine pilot soon. Some however claimed that his mechanical eye was a weakness and a liability.

Of course off duty he continued his thefts, it had become an addiction running from angry officers or perhaps quietly lifting expensive jewelry off women as he passed them on the street. By age nineteen he had been training for years and gifted a Framewerk developed by Colonel Andres himself, the Paladin. A heavy duty front line unit designed to take punishment and throw it right back at the enemy. It's size, strength, and sheer will to survive made Ariin smile when he first saw it. He felt the mammoth sized machine was a perfect fit for someone who refused to budge an inch when protecting someone he cared about.

Framewerk Code Name: Paladin

Appearance:


Number of Framewerk Systems: How much your Framewerk is equipped with, determined by the pilot's experience. All levels have one signature weapon system and one secondary, while 80-89% are granted one more secondary and 90-94% one more primary weapon system on top of that. List the two as separate numbers.

Signature Weapon System: Pompey- A massive twin-linked coilgun firing huge high velocity tungsten slugs into targets. Capable of removing limbs from Framwerks in one volley and taking down low level Cruxi. However it requires precise aiming and stable position to fire from. It's immense size and power make it considered over kill for smaller targets. It also makes aiming at moving targets rather tricky, however the blast from the weapon can be used effective to limit movement as the coilgun system gives long range accuracy with a massive destructive potential.

Secondary Weapon System: Legion- A portable wall capable of expanding and digging in to the ground, made using advanced alloys it is highly resistant to plasma. In it's folded form it can a useful battering ram or a protecting armament against flanking opponents even useful for bashing other mechs up close.

Secondary System: Phalanx Barrier System- The PBS is the first Martian made energy shield small enough to be placed in a Werks. This upgrade to Paladin's Legion shield allows him to generate an energy barrier over the sides, the top, and front of his shield. Helping to shield from flanking maneuvers and barrages from above. The Phalanx system also reinforces the already impressive power of the Legion shield making Paladin into a mobile fortress it was meant to be.

Personality:

Despite his slightly vampiric appearance, or perhaps complementing it, Harold's sense of humor is primarily sardonic when among friends and none at all when among strangers or new acquaintances. As he is at the forefront of humanity's struggle against the alien menace, there is little occasion for him to smile, and people may only witness sheer anger at the height of battle as his peak emotional response. Nonetheless, he is a loyal comrade who, having known the pain of loss, will go to great lengths to save his brothers and sisters-in-arms and assist them otherwise in the field of battle.

Harold is fond of literature. A short novel may often be found on his person while he engages in light reading during free time.

The new, cloned Harold has temperamental issues and is prone to bouts of anger especially when engaging Cruxi forces.

Background:

Harold was born to Donnell and Caitlyn Buell as the youngest sibling of an older brother and sister aboard Sigma VII-E56, a habitation station orbiting the gas giant Rostosov in the Pugh System. As the planet's orbit was quite some distance from its mother star, the people of Sigma VII lived at all times in artificial lighting conditions, as the sun's luminosity was often too dim. With the Buell family living in the station steadfastly for several generations, their skin was often paler than most, and they shared this complexion with other established clans. Harold, through overwhelming genetic chance, inherited this trait, and early on he could determine Old Blood and New Blood in the station by the phenotypes of the people around him.

He went through a mostly normal childhood, attending primary school with the infinitely stretching helium clouds of the gas giant Rostosov just beyond the diamantine-glass window. He was often distracted by the planet's weather even though it was an everyday spectacle, due to the frantic energy the sickly blue gases displayed as they roiled and curled inwards and outwards in an eternal storm, and from the occasional aurorae burst when Pugh's solar output rose for short periods of time. Scolded more than just a few times by the Mistress for being distracted during lectures, a fascination for space travel began to take root in the young Harold's mind, and it wasn't long before he yearned to walk across the stars.

His first taste of void travel came during his secondary education, when youths were trained in drills involving extra-vehicular activity, basic first aid, and rudimentary station repairs. As the stations around Rostosov centered their economies around mining Helium-3 from the giant and either exporting it raw or as refined starship fuel, industrial occupations were held in high esteem. Harold's Sigma VII was no exception, so when he graduated at age 16 and began his apprenticeship, he chose one that allowed him to operate a Monitor and Control Overseer that hovered among mining probes in Rostosov's upper atmosphere in order to detect and fix any problems coming from them. This choice combined three things: one, family tradition, as Buells for generations have worked in Sigma's mining industry; two, the fulfillment of what would be expected from a young man such as himself in the society he was raised in; and three, his fascination for space, even if he could only go as far as the other stations.

Although he did acquire a love for literature when he found out that, yes, it was uncommon for a mining probe to fail and he needed something to pass the time, Harold was never one for flights of fancy. He knew, as his family and peers did, that he will never be a glorious captain in the Fleet, leading a strike force of Battlecruisers and Carriers to victory against the alien menace, because he was merely a member of the working class. Content to live his life in the shadow of great, cerulean Rostosov, he got a big break when a bunch of Navy officers suddenly visited the quiet, rustic Sigma Stations, whose combined population for 20,000 made for a ridiculously small recruiting pool when compared to urban centers like Sirius Secundus, which boasted sprawling, massive cities wherein up to a billion people lived. He was 19 years old during this time.

They stuck out like sore thumbs among the working-class crowd, with their pure white uniforms made of real silk, steel-tipped gazes and proud bearing whose manner bordered arrogance. Medals shone on their chests, more than Harold could count and of such variety that it left him bewildered. These men, who fought for humanity and its place among the stars seemed like aliens to the young man, but when they spoke of seeing the length and breadth of the galaxy and pushing back the Cruxi tide, his adventurous side couldn't be suppressed. The moment they asked for volunteers, Harold raised his hand immediately.

Boot camp at Bastion Alexandria proved to be tough on Harold, as he was aspiring to be a starfighter pilot, whose training regimen demanded only the best from cadets. The schoolwork that entailed officer training also proved to be difficult for the young man of a rustic background. Regardless, he pushed through, although only scoring average to above average in all exams, whereas quite a few of his friends excelled. However, Harold was among the third that appeared to have the right stuff for voidborne combat, as opposed to the other two-thirds of his batch that flopped out. In the culmination of a year of intense effort, he graduated, received his Golden Wings badge, got massively drunk with his friends, and then got handed the worst possible post for a pilot with a shining, freshly-minted Ensign bar:

Instead of being sent to the front, he was being held back to instruct a new batch of recruits.

Understandably, he was deeply bitter about the whole thing, and he shared this feeling of resentment with others who'd also been held back. Harold and the rest of them did not spend a year training and studying - vomiting in the simulator cockpit and vomiting in the real cockpit - just so their friends could get medals and glory while they got absolutely none. Buell and the others soon learned, however, even through thorough government censors, that their batchmates took part in a failed offensive that saw most of them dead, and the Carrier wherefrom their strike group operated, destroyed.

Somewhat humbled by that grim news, Harold and his fellow instructors nonetheless went about their duties with repressed frustration and ire. However, whereas some others vented by yelling at recruits or forcing them to do another 2-hour solo flight with only emergency and back-up navigational tools active, Harold instead joked, and his dark, sardonic humor, aimed mostly at the cadets, proved somehow popular among them. Such was the culture in the classrooms and training hangars of Bastion Alexandria.

Halfway into the schoolyear, however, there was a change in the major naval base: assets and scraps of what remained of what was once whole battlefleets were being pulled back from the Halo Stars in a somewhat hasty and disorganized effort at regrouping broken forces from shattered fronts. The grimness of the war situation was only made clear to Harold when his eyes beheld the Augustus, a massive ship-of-the-line, warping in with barely a quarter of her engine block functioning and almost sliced in half by some sort of beam weapon that had raked her amidships. As the buildup of Human forces increased and reserves from stations to the rear of Alexandria were called up, he and his fellow instructors hounded the recordkeepers with questions of their friends, the men they'd graduated with - and it turned out that they were all dead.

Not soon after that revelation, the Cruxi attacked. It was an organized, deliberate effort on their part, conducting a sophisticated operation with some of their finest warships and soldiers. While the Siege of Alexandria was mainly a fleet operation, the base itself did see boarders. It was there that Harold first met the enemy, and killed his first.

He, his fellow instructors and their students of course did not compare with the Marines in surface warfare against the boarders, but in the few sorties they made in the opening stages of the battle, they surprisingly acquitted themselves with distinction, taking down a large number of Cruxi boarding pods and some of their escorting fighters. Taking some losses, Harold's strike group managed to stall the Cruxi ground forces' operations for some time. Continuing to do sweeps and harassment tactics against the smaller enemy ships while the dreadnoughts brawled it out in massive gun battles as the day passed by, they eventually found themselves whittled down. And with the arrival of a Cruxi carrier, the few dozen remaning fighters of what was once an air group of over six hundred were given the order to abort mission.

Complying, Harold lead his team into hasty crash-landings into Alexandria's battered hull. Protecting the crash sites were human Marines whom they joined in the Station's defense. Harold managed to kill two Cruxi stormtroopers before his inexperience in surface operations lead to him being wounded by a plasma grenade that had detonated towards his left side. With serious burns, he fell down unconscious, but was thankfully kept from dying at the hands of a veteran Marine medic. Even with modern medical regeneration technology, the extent of his wounds was such that his left arm never got rid of the ugly, curling burn scars.

Harold, along with the rest of the servicemen who fought to save Alexandria, were then regarded as heroes by the government, for without their tenacity and sheer strength of will, the enemy would not have been delayed to the point where Battlefleet Primaris arrived as it did and turned the tide in favor of humanity. For Harold's personal conduct during the battle, he was awarded the Knight's Cross for Valor, and promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant (jg).

His wounds, however, were more serious than first thought. Rather than just leaving behind superficial burn scars, it was found that some nerve damage was irreparable - and to a pilot of starfighters, whose controls require the most delicate haptic inputs, this basically meant that the ability to fly such craft now vanished.

Harold was devastated. For days, he lay stewing in the hospital bed, mourning both his lost friends and the loss of his ability to avenge them. He then received an unlikely visitor, however, in the form of no-one but the sector's supreme commander himself! When the junior officer saw the aging man enter, he made haste to salute as best he could with most of his body wrapped in bandages, but Admiral Mikawa proved to be a friendly, genial personality who didn't care much for military formality.

Their conversation was a short one, not even reaching ten minutes. The Admiral told Harold that he greatly admired his courage and valor during the battle for Alexandria, and understood that the younger man was devastated at his loss of the ability to fly a starfighter. So then, Mikawa offered him a chance to fighting again, this time in another unit, piloting a different vehicle.

Curious, Harold asked for details. He was met with a curt reply that stated quite plainly that he was asking for classified information. The Admiral, still smiling, nonetheless produced a document and a pen, and held it out to Harold.

"Just sign here," he said. "And you will be able to fight again."

Harold, even if struggling, did so. Repressing grunts of pain and keeping his face as straight as possible, he scrawled his signature in the most hideous chicken-scratch. Mikawa, however, was pleased by this sight, and calmly informed Harold that he will be receiving new marching orders soon.

Harold in his original form served briefly as the Framewerk unit Team Sigma's platoon leader. He was ultimately felled fighting new and deadly Cruxi war machines and his Framewerk's corpse was scuttled by fellow teammates to complete their mission. Killed in action, Harold was thereafter cloned and resurrected.

Framewerk Code Name: ELBRUS

---

Signature Weapon System:

1x TYPE 300 MODEL 1 GUN SYSTEM:

A slow-firing, semi-automatic gun system notable for its reliability and effectiveness given its weight and caliber class. This weapon's main strength is its ability to deliver effective and accurate firepower in conjunction of Elbrus' advanced fire control systems. In the case that computerized fire control is unavailable due to battle damage or other reason, a secondary autocannon system (Designated "Type 301") of much smaller caliber and less specialized construction is fitted on a separate appendage underneath the main gun and which can be used for manual sighting shots. The Type 300 Model 1 Gun System features a variety of shells with which Elbrus can engage most targets effectively. These shells are:

A.) APFSDS-A - Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot - Adamantium. These super-heavy shells are made from an ultra-dense Adamantine alloy. Through sheer kinetic power and penetrative ability, any Frame-tier enemy hit by these shells - even by a glancing blow - is sure to stagger. If they are not destroyed by the first shot, then subsequent, swift discharges will be sure to destroy the foe before it is able to recover completely.

B.) HEFRAG-TF - High-Explosive Fragmentation - Timed Fuse. These shells are Elbrus' main weaponry against soft and/or massed targets. These shells use a substantially smaller cartridge than the Type 300 Model 1's armor piercing array, resulting in a lower muzzle velocity and therefore slightly more complicated aiming. However, this has given the shell itself more space for its high-explosive and fragmentation payloads. Its configurable timed fuse allows it to be detonated precisely in the midst of the foe and in mid-air, allowing for the most effective culling of enemy hordes through a combination of high-explosive shock and fragmentation shards. This shell can, as a last resort, be used to combat enemy air or spacecraft by using it like a traditional time-fused anti-aircraft shell, although its low muzzle velocity makes it unsuited to the task.

C.) SMOKE - Smoke rounds. Self-explanatory. These are used to provide cover on the battlefield for Elbrus and its comrades. Elbrus is normally not given a large quantity of these in sorties.

The Type 300 Model 1 Gun System has a fire rate of 15 rounds per minute. Elbrus' advanced fire control system allows for all of these shots to be effectively aimed against an unobscured but erratically moving target the size of a standard 10-ton freight hauler up to 30 kilometers away using APFSDS-A shells, and up to 8 kilometers away for HEFRAG-TF shells. The Type 300 Model 1 Gun System is also able to provide limited artillery support up to 60km away with its HEFRAG-TF shells, although it is primarily a short-to-medium-range direct-fire weapon and is not suited for this role.

The Type 301 autocannon subsystem is fed with an internal belt that alternates 1 armor-piercing shell per 5 high-explosive shells. Its limited service in more conventional, non-Framewerk weapon platforms has shown it to be an excellent tool against enemy infantry and other soft targets.

---

Secondary Weapon System:

Mark LVIII Multiple Fire Control System:

Complementing the Type 300 Gun System is a corresponding suite of comprehensive software and hardware that collectively construct the Mark LVIII Multiple Fire Control System. Elbrus is equipped with sensor arrays able to acquire targets using RADAR, LADAR, Infrared and traditional optical target acquisition. Elbrus is able to freely and easily distribute power from its energy cells to the first three detection modes, allowing for great flexibility on the battlefield. If necessary, the modular nature of the system makes it possible to install active/passive sonar for marine warfare in less than five hours in a standard Framewerk berth.

The Mk. LVIII MFCS also sports highly advanced target tracking and firing solution computation abilities owing to a specialized logic core that runs synchronous to Elbrus' own computer chipset. This makes it so that in proper conditions, only few types of Cruxi may outgun Elbrus within medium range owing simply to its constant effective firepower (as opposed to raw firepower). In addition, the system may compile its esoteric data on-the-fly into the standard communication packet format for transmission to any applicable friendly battle-networks for their use and perusal in real-time.

Elbrus used to mount guided missiles of the Rostosov's make, but this was abandoned in favor for more electronic space and safety for the MK. LVIII MFCS.

---

Weight Class: Medium, Line

Elbrus serves as part of the Line. That is, it is expected to engage the enemy in open combat with its gun and ultimately preservere. It is expected to destroy the enemy through superior effective firepower using the advantage given by its excellent fire control system. Moderately armored at the front and lightly armored elsewhere, it is expected to take some hits and remain nonetheless combat effective. The Elbrus is hypothesized to perform well in large open spaces where the Type 300 Model 1 Gun System is able to perform its intended role to maximum effect.

Elbrus is not supposed to withstand sustained heavy fire and if put in such a situation, should retreat immediately to an area of advantage. The Framewerk's armoring is considered to be merely acceptable for a war machine of its weight class and is therefore unsuited to leading assaults. Elbrus is also expected to generally perform poorly in close-quarters combat (especially in urban environments) for the same reason, as in such an situation there will be plenty of opportunities for the enemy to get to its thinly protected backside.

Framewerk Code Name: ROSTOSOV

---

Signature Weapon System:

2x TYPE 2500 MODEL 3 41CM GATLING:

Massive cannons firing shells weighing almost a ton at a rate of 1,000 to 3,000 rounds per minute. Capable of suppressing a large area with heavy and accurate firepower in an instant, this weapon system is also given versatility with its variety of ammunition configurations, from high-explosive to armor-piercing to even incendiary.

---

Secondary Weapon System:

MK. I GENERAL-PURPOSE CRUISE MISSILE MODEL "ROSTOSOV":

The Rostosov is equipped with an anti-ship missile system capable of taking down ships of frigate type or lighter that has been repurposed for the special needs of a Framewerk. A powerful weapon, it is a three-shot system with no reloads aboard the Rostosov.

---

Weight Class: Medium-Heavy Breakthrough

The Rostosov is meant to be a frontline brawler on the battlefield, bristling with heavy firepower and protected with an all-or-nothing armor scheme where everything facing ahead is fitted with as much armor as reasonably possible, but with its rear areas being rather vulnerable as a trade-off. This is the reason why is it classified as erring towards the heavy side of a medium-class instead of being an outright heavy Frame. Built under the theories and principles of fire superiority, It is expected to engage the enemy in the open field and win through sheer tenacity and sustained firepower output, before moving onwards and doing so again. It excels at engagements at medium range, as it is able to use both its offensive and defensive capabilities to their maximum under such conditions. However, as it lacks melee weaponry, its close-combat capabilities are practically null.

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Experience: 100% (originally 74%)

Synchronization Rate: 93% (originally 65%)

Personality: Quite and almost stoic tends to be the first impression many people get when they see Katya. A person who would rather keep to herself and might bite someones head off if they intact with her. But this is merely a front that slowly fades as one interacts with her. Giving way to driven, friendly and caring personalty. She is slow to call people he friend or comrade but will gladly talk someones ear off provided it a topic she deems interesting even if it someone she doesn't really like.

She is a very laid back person and it takes a lot to get her annoyed or worked up over something. Even if she dose get annoyed or worked up Katya tries her best not show her emotional state. Preferring to deal with it when she is by herself. If she not given this chance she tends to keep things buried until she explodes. She is big on helping those she likes or respects and will normally quickly offer what help she can.



Notable Deaths:
Father: Alexander Romanovna a Framewerk pilot killed in battle against the Cruxi on a planet named Eos.

Older Sister: Natasha Romanovna a crewman cruiser called the Erebron. Killed in the destruction of the ship along with rest of the crew. Katya is unaware her older sister is dead as the ship is officially listed as MIA.

Framewerk Code Name: XVT/03 Caretaker



Number of Framewerk Systems: Primary: 1 2
Secondary: 1 2

Signature Weapon System 1: Eden Repair Drones (Eden): Small spider like drones housed and maintained within Caretaker. Each drone is equipped with numerous number of tools that are used to identify damage and preform repairs on verity of equipment on the battle field. For the drones to deploy close proximity to Caretaker is preferred and is required unless a desired target is marked. Once deployed the drones can operate autonomously. Simply repairing whatever damage the find until recalled, the drone exhausts its energy supply or runs out of things to repair/ is unable to repair damaged systems any further. The drones are able to operate more efficiently if Caretaker can stay in close proximity to whatever they are working on. Having access to a central control node which can process data form them faster and direct them repair certain systems instead of repairing whatever damage they happen to find. It also allows multiple drones to work on the one system. When under control by the central node the drones make clicking noises as the control node and the drones communicate.

The drones are equipped with magnetic feet and "cling" to the werk they are repairing sort of like a beneficial parasite. Allowing for basic repairs to be conducted while the werk under repair is motion. More complex repair may require the werk being repaired to remain motionless for period of time while repairs are underway.

The drones can also be used to dismantle things if given enough time and Caretaker remains close by.
In a pinch the drones can be used for a one off offensive use by overloading the power supply causing them to explode.

Caretaker carry's 6 Eden drones housed at the rear of the mech.




Signature Weapon System 2: Artemis Attack Drone (Artemis)
A relatively new combat drone, based on the Eden drones design. These mid sized drones like there smaller predecessors are housed and maintained with Caretaker. These drones are equipped heavy armour plating. This armour slowing the drones.
The drones are armed with a small laser cannon. (Note: Two drones are able to go toe to toe with a Cruxi CMW)

Unlike the Eden drones the Artemis drones require a constant up-link to Caretaker to operate. Requiring them to stay close to Caretaker. When out of range of Caretaker the drones will simply enter standby mode and partially power down. Like the Eden drones the Artemis as magnetic feet allow it to climb on metal surfaces and werks.

The drones also equipped with weaponized version the Eden drones dismantling kit. Which uses highly focused lasers to cut into enemy armour should the drone find itself on an enemy.
To meet the energy demands of the drones systems they are equipped with nuclear reactors. If given an override command the drones can cause there reactors to overload. Resulting in the reactor going into meltdown and detonating.

Caretaker carries 4 of these drones, housed alongside the Eden Drones.





Secondary Weapon System 1: Marker Light: An experimental laser rifle, the operates in two modes. Combat mode and Marker mode.
Combat Mode: As the name suggest this is the rifle offensive mode, where it fires damaging laser shots. These rounds are just basic laser rounds, they are light neon blue in colour.
Marker Mode: The name for where the rifle gets its name form and is different from other laser based weapons. When switched into this mode the rifle fires a non damaging laser round, that leaves a radioactive marker on whatever it hits. Making it easier whatever was hit to be detected for a limited amount of time. Caretakers EDEN Drones also can home in on marked targets. Which allows Caretaker to deploy them without getting close.

Both rifle mode are effective to mid-short range.


Secondary Weapon System 2: Hyperwave Communications Array (Hyperwave): A miniaturized comm array typically seen on support star ships miniaturized for Framewerk use. Although not as powerful as it ship sized unit and very costly to produce. This array provides a substantial upgrade to a Framewerks ability to communicate while being roughly the same size as the werks normal comm equipment. The array providing grater range, Improved resistance to jamming by artificial or environmental sources, Enhanced signal encryption and is able broadcast and receive signals in a much wider bandwidth.

While able to receive more signals from outside sources Caretaker lacks the computational power to decrepit all but basic encryption in a timely fashion on its own.

The array also can be used by Katya to maintain limited control over her Eden drones out of range of her control node. By sending burst transmissions to them thought the array. While each transmission as to be done manually it allows her to order them to prioritize particular systems or if rigged to explode to do so form a greater range.
Katya can also interface the control node to the array to allow for full control at a greater range. At the cost of unable to to receive comm message, until the control nod is returned to normal.

Weight Class: Medium

Special Ability: N/A

Name: Valéria "Val" Jarmila

Appearance:

Standing at 7’3 with a slim muscular build and completely bald with pale skin tone and ruby red eyes. Valéria is considered to be the common stock for those form her world. This is due to a compound in the plant's atmosphere that has slightly mutated the DNA of its human inhabitance. Making them bald, taller and paler than “common” humans. Valéria's left arm has been completely replaced with a cybernetics.

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Experience: 69%

Synchronization Rate: 83%

Personality: A poised individual is the first wold many have come to when dealing with Valéria a woman who is confident in herself. Although is not too proud to admit she had much to learn and seems almost eager to learn for those she respects. Something that is not easy to win over.

Valéria is a sociable person but is not overly expressive of her emotional state. A trait common to her people however if one can tolerate it she will most of the time interact with anyone wanting to socialise with her. Although at time not caring who it is she will tell the person to sod off Valéria having a fairly lax attitude when it come to addressing her commanders or anyone for that matter.

She is a person that hold duty in high regard. As per the traditions of her people and military training and tends to follow orders without question even if she does not agree with them. Although she tends to “interpret” orders or blame faulty communications on the occasions she chooses to disobey. Those times being only when she feels she has a dam good reason to do so.

When it comes to the Cruxi Valéria has no love for them. In fact will openly display anger at the mere mention of there name and seems to take great pleasure in killing a Cruxi unit and will not turn down a chance to to take the fight to the Cruxi.

Background:
Valéria as never seen her homeworld of Haath it being one of the first lost to the Cruxi at the start of the war. Yet like all children of her world She was raised to never forget it and that one day when the Cruxi were beaten they would reclaim their world. Valéria was born alongside her brother on a space station called Aegis. A station placed in middle of a nebula in an isolated part of space. Here along with all children, she was raised for military service. Expected to serve when she came of age.

Unlike most who trained for duty aboard ship, Valéria was picked to be a Framework pilot and form a young age was drilled as much as the space station would allow and when she came of age at 20 she was given an assignment. Placed in a squad tasked with protecting the station.

That until was two years later the Cruxi found the station and attacked it. The battle being a swift victory for the Cruxi despite the best efforts of stations defenders. The Haath ships forced to withdraw after sustaining heavy losses. Leaving the station and those on it to the hands of the Cruxi. Valéria was lucky thanks to her brother was able to get aboard an escape shuttle. Having survived the battle and escaped with her life. Although she had been badly wounded from the battle and had to have her left arm completely replaced.

The survivors going into the heart of human space seeking protection while they tried to rebuild setting up a colony on a moon. Many of the survivors leaving military service to focus on building the colony. While some like Valéria who once recovered remained in the military and eventually have continuing to serve as werk pilot protecting the colony in time came be selected to operate an experiment werk being built.

Notable Deaths: Nathan Jarmila: Valéria's father his was left on Aegis when Haath ships withdrew. His exact fate is unknown but is it is assumed to be KIA. As he and all those left behind where expected to fight to the bitter end. Haath tradition does not allow for them to be taken prisoner.

Terézia Jarmila: Valéria's mother: Ship was destroyed in battle with Cruxi in the battle for Aegis

Other things: Due to her peoples culture Valéria always wears a hood in the company of others. If told to remove it she'll state it's cultural to those of her world and that it does not interfere with her ability to do her duty

Framewerk Code Name: Redeemer

Appearance:

Number of Framewerk Systems: 1 Main
2 Secondary

Signature Weapon System 1: Judgment: A large mace that generates jets of plasma from the nodes across its surface when activated. These jets able to be configured to whatever size the pilot wishes although safety features prohibit from making them too big and in turn the weapon more of a danger to the werk itself then the enemy.

The weapon mostly relies on blunt force to its damage. Backed by the weapons heavy weight and the werks extreme strength. (by frame werk standards)

Secondary Weapon System 1: Laser Repeater: Built into the left claw of the werk is a laser-based weapon designed to give the werk a limited ranged attack in case for any reason it is unable to engage with its mace. The repeater powered by a power cell linked directly into the werks reactor core. Allowing the weapon to be continually fired so long as the power cell remains charged
The weapon can be over charged allowing it to fire more quickly although this damages the power cell.
foes. The weapon is effective at short to mid range.


Secondary Weapon System 2: Haathan Mark 3 Shield Generators: An energy shield system that works by making multiple layers of energy distortion around the framework. The shield is broken into four sections Front, rear left and right. Each section having with its own small independent generator allowing the shield to be partially maintained even if one section is powered down or offline. The shield itself is projected via emitters built into along hull of the werk. Each section can be reinforced by diverting extra power form the other sections to a single section. The shield allows for the use of energy weapons by to the werk it is equipped to. However must be dropped when entering into Meele combat or partially dropped when using projectile weapons.

The shield provides balanced defence between energy and projectiles along with environmental hazards while it is active. The shield can be overpowered by powerful weapons or concentrated fire in one section of the shield. The shield requiring time to recharge before it can be reactivated.

Weight Class: Heavy: A heavy weight werk built to close in an engage enemy units in Melee. While fire support deals provides covering fire form ranged enemy. The werks thick armour has been designed to better protect critical systems from close range fire while providing a balanced defense of both kinetic and energy based weapons.



Special Ability: N/A

"I'm still alive, and I can still fight. Shouldn't that be all that matters, at this point?"

Name: Lora Shinkai

Gender: Female
Age: 18

Experience: 75% - Average level of experience for a pilot. Can perform basic actions such as running or shooting without fail, and may have the potential for more difficult maneuvers.
Synchronization Rate: 69% - The Framewerk moves and operates fairly naturally, responding well to controls and able to pull off more advanced tactics and actions. This state is the typical average of any Framewerk veteran, representing years of experience - falling here this early would be a gift.

Personality: Lora is unique for having a sort of deadpan confidence, seeming be reserved on the outside but in reality being very empowered and sure of her capability. Of course, she's not headstrong, either, and in fact proves to be rather patient. Off the field, she performs small efforts and tasks in hopes to play a little more than her part. Lora often appears rather blank-faced most of the time, and the most emotion she can be noted showing is largely in combat, as if she has some deep-seated feelings regarding the Cruxi (and boy, does she).

Motivation: Repel the Cruxi and ensure a better future for humanity.

Background:
People who say that Lora went through hell don't realize that good people shouldn't go to hell.

The young Lora grew on a colony somewhat on the farther reaches of human society. Her family was one of the most esteemed on that world, and not because they had luxury. No, it was because they shared their luxury, working to create and distribute new technologies to benefit the colonizing people and ensure what happened to Earth would not so easily repeat itself. Lora was exposed to this and more, and so learned the better qualities of life and what they meant.

To say it all changed when the Cruxi appeared seemed cliche and inaccurate. Within 24 hours, it all disappeared - homes, families and lives alike. A still-young Lora and her younger brother were one of the few that managed to make it, of the single escape ship that managed to survive the ordeal. She wished she could stop crying, that after she cried all her tears, her voice went hoarse, and her heart ached the worst, it would stop. But the pain inside didn't stop.

Lora practically begged to be enlisted in the project to weaponize Framewerks. She wanted so many things, but the only ones she could hope to get were revenge, and hope itself. She would gladly learn to take life if it meant no more had to suffer like she did. She would become stronger, far stronger than she was on that day of defeat, as strong as she needed to be to take down the enemy. And even if she died doing it, Lora was going to bring peace and happiness back to every last human who deserved it.

Notable Deaths: Pretty much anyone she was related to by blood - parents, grandparents, uncles and cousins - all except her younger brother. A couple of her close friends also didn't make it.

Other Things: People think that Lora doesn't show her emotions because she is very scarred inside. While they are partly right, she also represses her emotion to ensure she can remain stable during Framewerk combat. It works for the most part, but there are times where she can get a little loose.

Code Name: Dynasty

Number of Systems: One Primary, One Secondary

Signature Weapons System:
Dual Blaster Cannons - pretty much exactly as it says on the tin. A single blaster cannon is built to fire concentrated hard-light energy bolts for good stopping power and destructive potential. When one cannon was found to bear weak penetration and a meager firing rate, the issue was mostly circumvented by equipping one for each hand to double the effective output, though this resulted in a significant jump in weight and bulk. In case of emergency, one or both blasters may be discarded to remove such weight, allowing for a more expeditious retreat.

Secondary Weapons System:
A light missile launcher mounted behind the right shoulder. The silo can hold two payloads of six High-Explosive Multi-Purpose missiles, primarily used for defensive means at closer ranges where the blaster cannons would be less feasible to use.

Weight Class: Light-Medium. The intent of the Framewerk as a free-range mobile striker was found to be compromised by the weight of its equipment, and so it was given additional armor and defensive suites to compensate. The base thrusters only just barely allow the Framewerk to hover over ground as a result, and while it does still bear a level of maneuverability other machines may lack, it only does so by a thin margin.

Special Ability: N/A

Name: Roger Rooney
Appearance:
Gender: M
Age: 18
Experience: 63.5%
Synchronization Rate: 86%
Personality: Roger is very serious basically all the time. Even when he’s happy. He lacks a sense of humor, but he’s not really a stick in the mud. Just that if you make a joke he either won’t get it or not find it funny. At times aggressive and impetuous, but hey, that’s most teenaged boys. Does well under physical and mental pressure, not so much social pressure. Does not know how to talk to women his own age. A bit thoughtless with his words.
Background: Roger is from what you’d call the Space Boonies. His homeworld is a place covered in mountains with little in the way of arable lands, and less in the way of travel between different settlements. To properly live, a complex system of plane transports had to be set up. To be a pilot, you had to be elite, able to keep a level head while navigating through dangerous mountain passes at high speeds. Quick reflexes for reacting to parts of the environment hidden in clouds and a steady hand to avoid overdoing it.

Roger had always wanted to be one of these pilots, it was a dangerous job, but it was an exciting job, and they were the heroes of the planet. Books and tv shows were written about them more than anyone else. Luckily for Roger, he was scouted as a potential candidate rather early on. However, when he turned 17, he dropped out of the training to become a pilot to join the army before he could actually be taught to pilot the planes, which in hindsight probably would give a lot of important experience for dealing with a framewerk.
Notable Deaths: Roger’s Aunt Nancy (dad’s youngest sister) was enlisted as a military medic and treated the wounded and sick for years. 2 years ago, the ship she was stationed on was destroyed in a skirmish with the Cruxi.
Other things: If there is anything else you believe needs sharing, do so here.

Framewerk Code Name: X-1106 C1 “Yeager”
Appearance:
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/Ninja-with-no-name/Mech/kwm1.jpg
Number of Framewerk Systems: 1+1
Signature Weapon System: Yeager’s main systems are not some form of weapon like most Framewerks. It’s primary systems are boosters. These boosters allow Yeager to travel at ludicrous speeds (he’s gone to plaid!), should they be activated. To increase ease of mobility, Yeager has a set of fins all over its body that be adjusted to increase/decrease drag and subtly alter flight paths when the boosters are active.
Secondary Weapon System: Yeager is outfitted with a handheld machinegun with a targeting computer built in to facilitate aiming at high speeds.
Weight Class: Medium. If all the possible weights of Framewerks were mapped out on a 12 point scale with 3 being the heaviest a Light machine could be, 6 being the heaviest a Medium frame can be, 9 being the high end of heavy and 12 being something akin to an aircraft carrier of mechs, this would be about a 6. The bulk required to withstand the stress induced by the Primary Booster gives Yeager a much higher defense than would be anticipated, but with little room for offensive installments.
Special Ability: N/A

Name: Zim Hero, Nickname is Zero.

Gender: Male
Age: 25
Experience: 100% (114)
Synchronization Rate: 72.5%
Personality: Hero is a relatively level headed individual, the hard life on his home planet left little joy in him. He is serious in all things that he does, and has little patience for stupidity, naivety, ignorance or arrogance. He is, however, very respectful to everybody he meets unless you have made a particular effort to cross him. The closest thing to humor for Hero is sarcasm, but it is generally intended as an underhanded insult. The Cruxi are about the only thing that he shows an overly aggressive personality towards.
Background: Hero comes from a planet that is known as Fortress. The planet's upper atmosphere was unique in that it reflected much of the heat away from the planet despite its close proximity to the systems star, putting it much closer in comparison to what is generally considered the 'Hospitable zone.' In addition to this, the planet is surrounded by debris from a long destroyed moon, making approach from outside rather difficult. It did not take long before this debris field was rigged up to be controled to make entrance and exit easier when needed or nearly impossible when needed, valuable resources have long since been mined from the debris field, and synthetic weapons platforms have replaced many of the debris that have been destroyed or mined out of usefullness. Despite protection from above, life on this high gravity planet was harsh, the heat made it very difficult for most fauna to florish on the planet surface. Most of the food from the planet comes from synthetic sources, or is removed from subterrainian growth veins. At twenty he moved off planet with an exploration and settlement team and found himself on a planet near the outer ring of planets. The planet hardly had a name before the Cruxi came. When they did, they didn't just destroy the settlements to reclaim the world for their own, rather they destroyed the entire planet itself. Hero was lucky in that he was on a topigraphical scan at the moment from a satilite oribter. Debris from the planet made the orbiter unusable, including a large piece of debris from another satilite orbiter punctured the cabin and impaled Hero. It was due to the self-sealing nature of his space suit that he survived. It sealed the suit against the vacuum, and sealed the jagged pole into Heros skin, stopping the bleeding. The force kept him moving through space for three days before his pod was found by a merchant freighter and transported him to the nearest planet.
Notable Deaths: His family all remained back home on Fortress, and his personality made making friends difficult. However the person he was closest too, he quietly reveared as his brother. His name was Fleck Jawstone and was a ship navigator on the expidition ship that brought him to the new planet. Hero regrets not being more open with him.

Weight Class: Medium weight. Other than the armor wings adding much heavier armor, the Black Star is relatively lightly armored for faster maneuverability in combat.
Special Ability:

Number of Framewerk Systems: One Primary - One Secondary
Signature Weapon System: Lightning ElectroLaser (LEL): Contained within its breastplate, Magus is equipped with a heavy ElectroLaser which fires in two stages; Stage one utilizes a strong laser to excite air particles in a straight line between the laser and the target to create a super-conductive path over the course of two microseconds. Stage two releases an extremely powerful electrical current through the channel. Each 'shot' is supplied by one or more of three super-capacitors within Magus, which must be recharged to initiate another blast. (At least one capacitor must be fully charged to use the weapon.)


Secondary Weapon System: Electrical Field Generator: When active, Magus' armor is super charged by connection to one or more of his internal super-capacitors. Enemies that come within arc-range will have the charge of any connected capacitors forced through their external systems. It should be noted that while active, this field disrupts signal transmission and reception- effectively rendering radar blind, and Magus deaf.



Weight Class: Magus is equipped with light-medium armor, due to the amount of internal infrastructure taken up by power storage and generation. He is capable of moderate speed.
Special Ability:

Framework Code Name: Neo Angel (Model ID Code: R-0 Custom and/or Wing Zero Custom)

Appearance:

Signature Weapon System: Telekenetic System "D" - Perhaps the most unique of the current Frameworks is to tap into the "energy" that comes from the syncho rate to weild energy amplified by this system. But unlike the R-1 "Setsuka", this system uses the energy for defense. It "coats" the entire mech with the energy to highten it's defenses to repel or at least lessen any form of attacks made to the R-0 Custom. However, much like the R-1, this puts a ton of mental strain on it's pilot. If the pilot loses control, his/her synchro rate drops faster than usual along with losing this combat system since the synchro rate must be high enough to produce energy (60% or higher for low output. 80% or higher for higher outputs). Anything below 60% won't produce enough energy to weild. There's also a rumor that, again like the R-1's, this combat system is actually stolen technology from the Cruxi modded for human Framework pilots and Mai is it's first test pilot.

Secondary Weapon System: Besides the main thrusters on it's back, the wings themselves also have many smaller thrusters, allowing the R-0 Custom to move at rapid speeds in almost any direction despite it being a medium mech, allowing the pilot to manuver and dodge well so long as said pilot can handle the sudden change in directions. Throw in a pair of beam sabers on it's hips and it's ability to use most standard mech weapons like pistols, guns, swords and rifles makes the R-0 Custom suited for rapid depolyment and hit and run style missions while filling other roles depending on it's weaponry if need be.

Armor Type: Medium

Special Ability: ???

Note: This mech was recently assigned to Mai after the R-1 was reassigned to another pilot and division. It's also said to be similar to another legendary mech from long days past...

Framework Code Name: Setsuka (Model ID code: R-1)

Appearance:

Signature Weapon System: Telekenetic System "O" - Perhaps the most unique of the current Frameworks is to tap into the "energy" that comes from the syncho rate to weild energy amplified by this system. From the frameworks mecha hands, it can then fire it like beams. It can even keep the energy itself stored into the hands to either create "energy based" weapons like swords out of pure energy or simply increase it's punching power. However, this puts a ton of mental strain on it's pilot. If the pilot loses control, his/her synchro rate drops faster than usual along with losing this combat system since the synchro rate must be high enough to produce energy (60% or higher for low output. 80% or higher for higher outputs). Anything below 60% won't produce enough energy to weild. There's also a rumor that this combat system is actually stolen technology from the Cruxi modded for human Framework pilots and Mai is it's first test pilot.

Secondary Weapon System: On it's hips are a pair of mech-sized Magnum Pistols. Each holding 8 shots, the name itself implies high powered shots capable of penetrating high grade armor. However, accurracy becomes an issue past mid range and limited ammo capacity means "spray and pray" isn't an option. A good weapons set for taking out slow but heavy armored targets.

Armor Type: Medium

Special Ability: ???

"Let Justice be done, though the heavens fall."

Name: Xane Sterling | Scout



Gender: Male

Age: 16 and 1/2

Experience: 70%

Synchronization Rate: 54%

Personality: Xane for the most part does not act before thinking. When he is outside of his framewerk he is level-headed, calm, but shy. Though he is shy he is enthusiastic to talk about things when one gives him the time to, and has a knack for being able to remember things better than others. Which is where his drawing skills come from as Xane likes to take the time to draw the landscapes he sees and/or remembers. He can also draw people, but can only draw their faces on a stick figures body. He does have a sarcastic side to him, but likes to keep comments to himself unless he really feels the need to say it out loud. That also pertains to most of what he does as well.

Inside his framewerk however Xane likes to stay focused on the task at hand. He does not like it when others either detour from the mission at hand, or try to side track onto different things. What he does he believes is quite important, and should not be taken lightly. Otherwise more will continue to die....

If one does do one of the things above then he at least likes it when one does not bother him while doing so. Though he does understand that eliminating the Cruxi will not bring his "parents" back, Xane does want to hand their asses back to them tenfold. He may be level-headed, but Cruxi are a different story all-together.

Background: Xane had lived a nice life on another planet when his parents had decided to settle down after piloting Framewerks of their own. It was a planet that the pilot generations before them had decided to capture. Xane's parents had decided to settle down on one of the outer rims planets as it was peaceful. Though it wasn't normal to have many children in that area they had all adjusted to life on that planet. That is, until Cruxi attacked the planet. Due to their being a low amount of fighters Xane's parents were still in the registry, and would be deployed as back up to fight off a force they had no idea how to even kill. In the end the planet was wiped clean from its new inhabitants, but luckily Xane was in the care of his parents close friends who decided to make a split-second decision. They escaped with many others on a cargo ship that took in whoever they could as its route back was to a safe destination.

As the ship made it to its halfway point the fuel ran out. They were supposed to refuel to be able to go the rest of the way back, but couldn't as the planet was being attacked. Along the way they had managed to get a hold of another cargo ship that would lend them enough fuel to make it back. The cargo got notice of what had happened, and would head in another direction. Luckily, the cargo ship Xane and his caretakers were on made it back to a safer planet. As the Cruxi would continue to take down planets out of everyones noses Xane would grow up in an unstable environment where one home would turn into no home. Over the years however the people he was with, his new parents, would financially grow stable enough to do something for their son. After all, they figured it was best to adopt him as they had no children of their own. They took a trip on a cruise when he had turned 9 to be able to show Xane the better side of space than what he had grown up with.

The ship needed to detour as the Cruxi were a danger to it, but the ship had gotten the notice too late. In the skies was a war going that would drag the Cruiser down with it, and ended up only sending many of its passengers to safety though emergency pods. Xane's adopted parents were not one of the passengers saved.

Due to the devistating incident many children were orphaned, and Xane would spend much time being in an orphanage with many other children. While there he would meet a girl, and come to find out the girl was being bullied. Xane was not one to interfere the first few times, but as a young kid he had had enough of what was going on. He had gotten into a fight with the children who were bullying the girl despite him being one who wouldn't get mixed in trouble, and was given punishment in return for it. When he had come back from the punishment Xane was to never speak to her again, but over time her happy personality would grow on him. Later did her learn her name was Serah, but he also learned how a friendship could easily be taken away.

Serah had disappeared, and where she went he would never know. A year later he would leave as well, but instead of being taken into a family he would be taken to a facility. The facility would home him, feed him, and train him to become a pilot to what he would soon come to learn are called Framewerks.

Parents:

• Mother: Feldt Sterling | 46 | Deceased
• Father: Neil Sterling | 47 | Deceased
• Adoptive Mother: Marina Seiei (Maiden: Ismail)
• Adoptive Father: Setsuna Seiei

Notable Deaths:

• Biological Mother
• Biological Father
• Adoptive Mother
• Adoptive Father

Other things:

• The red lines on the side of his eyes are meant to be tattoo tear streakes in memory of his parents. When he got them he would vow to live in their place.
• The weapons he has he keeps hidden in his framewerk just in case. He does not know how to actually use the dual swords either.
• Sterling, his last name, comes from his biological parents. It also comes from the fact that his fathers family line all have an eye color like sterling silver. How far back the last name was used is unknown.
• He does not know that the parents he grew up with are not his biological parents. They never got the time to tell him. Whoops...

Framewerk Code Name: Jetto Chosa





Number of Framewerk Systems:
Signature Weapon System(s): 1
Secondary Weapon System(s): 1

Signature Weapon System:

The main function of Jetto Chosa is the fact that it is able to shift into a jet form to be able to go multiple times faster. There are bosters installed into the mecha to be able to do this, and there is of course another reason for the mecha to have a specific jet form. Jetto Chosa was mainly designed to scout out enemy areas, so because of that Jetto has much of the necessary equipment to be able to do so which includes thermal heat sensing cameras, radar, transit levels, total stations camera for pictures, theodolites for what the stations camera cannot do, and a few other knick knacks. The mecha also comes with supplies inside in case the pilot (Xane) wants to go in depth.
Those supplies include:

• Surveying Magnetic Locators
• Surveying Rods
• Marking Paint
• Tape
• Pen and Journal
• Ditance Measuring Wheel
• Measuring Rope
• A Hammer
• Umbrella

_{Do note that he only ever uses less than half of these.}

Much of the mecha was meant to be lightweight which means that the mecha, in its 1st form, can move faster similar to its jet form. However, because of the lightweight exterior the mecha does often need maintenance and a little "tender loving care". This does not mean that the mecha is weak as it is also capable of being in the vagard. Though it was not built origionally for the vangard the upgrade that it went through (2nd weapon system) was made to give it more of a fighting chance in close combat.

Secondary Weapon System:
These two sword-like weapons have mutiple ways of being used. First off are that these are meant to be arm guards, so they are made differently from the mecha to have the durability to withstand blows. The small blade at the end of the arm guard can slid out of their sheathe with a chink whenever the pilot wants it to, and the blades are more of a dagger-like weapon. The third part of these arm guards is that the daggers are actually beam sabers, but the beam saber part can only work when the daggers are extended.



Weight Class:
This mecha is more of a "lightweight speedster". The mecha was not built for fighting, but the given upgrades have made the mecha more of an up close and personal kind of fighter. When in doubt go for the front lines.

Special Ability: N/A

Name: Barry Montreno
Appearance:
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Experience: 61%
Synchronization Rate: 62%
Personality: Barry's a generally happy, friendly person. Smiling most of the time, waving to people he knows often, and so on. He tries to see the bright side of most situations, and will go out of his way to try and cheer up people around him. However, when it comes to Cruxi, he gets even happier to be fighting them. He smiles widely at the idea of fighting them, but is usually put down by the idea of friends being in danger when in said fight.
Background: Barry was born near one of the outer-edge planets. However, his parents, fearing the worst, sent him to live with some family on a different planet that was farther from the outer-edge. It wasn't long until the very planet they had sent Barry away from had become victim to the Cruxi. When Barry grew old enough to learn what happened, he went through a depressive phase. He had always thought that maybe his parents had been alive, maybe even some romanticized thing for why they weren't around, like being secret agents, or being heroes and such. But they had just been regular people that feared for their child, but didn't have the money to move. After a while, his aunt and uncle who he had been living with sat him down and asked what he wanted to do. He said he wanted to avenge his parents, and was pleased to find they agreed to let him do so, but only if he tried a new outlook on life. They talked with him about what made him sad, and eventually, he found the outlook that would keep a smile on his face, and began his path to avenging his parents.
Notable Deaths: Both of his parents are dead to the Cruxi. (if it needs to be more recent, I can have another death)
Other things: He is generally, truly happy. He's not secretly depressed or anything like that, he just holds one hatred, that being the ones that took his parents from him before he even got to know them.

Framewerk Code Name: Marshall
Appearance:
Number of Framewerk Systems:
Signature Framewerk Systems = 1
Secondary Framewerk Systems = 1
Signature Weapon System:
"Twitch": Name after the fast-twitch muscles of the human body, Marshall's signature weapon is specialized pistons in the limbs that, when used, pressurize the area just before the limb, before letting it all out as a quick burst. Causing short, but very quick bursts of movement, usually used for close-ranged strikes and kicks, but can also be used, to a degree, for movement. Because of the fact that these pistons build up pressure before releasing it all at once, it can't be done with one limb rapidly enough to use properly for regular movement, but can still be helpful in starting movement or to enhance it if used properly.
Secondary Weapon System: To keep up with the enhanced force that is applied to the limbs, there is additional armor applied to the limbs, with less applied to the rest of the body to keep the weight down. However, the armor on the limbs is strong enough to withstand the rapid strikes that the signature system allows.
Weight Class: Medium
Special Ability: Blank

Name: Krista "Kris" Reynolds

Appearance: Short sun bleached hair and heavily tanned skin. 5' 1" , Pudgy

Age:14

Synchronization: Originally:92% Currently: 90%

Experience: Originally: 47% Currently: 52.5%

Personality:
Outside of her Framewerk, Krista is cheerful and optimistic. However she honestly feels that it is better to be blunt now rather than mince words and wait for a misunderstanding to form. This has led to more than a few hurt feelings with her peers. While she does enjoy group activities, she shies away from one on one interactions. She is noticeably colder when preparing for a mission or in the Archer, sometimes dismissing personal and emotional problems with derision.

Background:
Krista grew up on a relatively small planet called Reimann 14 that served as a fairly busy transit point between the inner human-worlds and the front lines of the Cruxi conflict. Her family owned a small shipping company that, like every other private entity with a ship of a certain size and half a brain, made brisk business transporting men and war-materials. This also meant that they had a closer than normal view of the fight as they saw entire ships worth of casualties being brought back.
Unfortunately, Reimann 14 eventually fell, caught by surprise when a Cruxi fleet warped into orbit. Despite pre-existing evacuation plans there was no warning. Almost as soon as the fleet entered orbit they started bombarding the surface with gunfire and drop-ships. This caused chaos and panic as the only places to hold out were areas that already had a military presence like shipyards and other transit hubs.
Krista was visiting her cousin Capt. (As in the captain of the ship, not a military rank) Richard on a docked cargo ship when the Cruxi attacked Reimann 14. Richard locked her and cousins Jess and Martel into the ship's security room while the ship tried to deal with the influx of refugees. Between the security feeds in the security room and news broadcasts, she had a front row seat to the chaos the Cruxi caused. In addition, watching her family home get destroyed while she watched imbued a sense of helplessness that sent her spiraling into despair.
While a few members of her family managed to make it off the planet safely, it wasn't until she learned of the Framewerk program that she managed to pull herself out of her depression. Now she can do something. Now she doesn't need to sit idly by watching others die.

Notable Deaths:
Her family's farmstead was destroyed as she watched through the video call Martel had made in a desperate attempt to warn their parents. She also remembers watching as the ship she was on left people on the ground as it took off.

Other things:
- Krista was originally part of a division that tested the viability of new weapon designs. Her original Framewerk, The Archer, was decommissioned and some of the lessons from that were used in other Framewerks.

Framewerk Code Name: The Hou Yi



Number of Framewerk Systems:
Primary: 1
Secondary: 1

Signature Weapon System: Plasma Cannon
Also known as the Self-contained Plasma Shot Cannon (SPlaSh Cannon), the Plasma Cannon uses an experimental process to envelop highly pressurized and charged plasma in a magnetic containment field, allowing it to be fired from a normal rail gun. The Plasma Cannon fits into a role similar to howitzers of old. When a shot lands, the containment field is disrupted and the plasma is allowed to explode. While this lacks the sheer penetrative power of railguns, especially when compared to the Slag Cannon on the Archer, it is capable of a much higher rater of fire and explosion radius. There is also evidence to suggest they are more effective against energy shielding systems than more conventional weaponry.

Because of the unstable nature of the containment field shots lose their punch at longer ranges as they become more dispersed. A modified version of the Prometheus Fire Control System still handles the loading and fire solution modeling for the cannon, though the pilot still needs to line up the shots and pull the trigger.

Secondary Weapon System: Priwen Magnetic Plasma Shielding, Control, and Generation System
For defensive purposes, the same system that generates the shots for the Plasma Cannon can also create temporary barriers against incoming projectiles. This screen of highly charged plasma and magnetism incinerates smaller projectiles and can deflect larger ones. It also has the side effect of blocking radiation.

While usually not enough to completely stop a center of mass hit, it can turn a kill shot into a glancing blow. Because of the way the Priwen is mounted, this barrier is strongest when projected in the same direction the main gun is facing. In general, the larger the projected arc, the weaker the protection. As such this system is typically used while the Hou Yi advances into position and to protect itself against return fire. The shield does need to be dropped to fire the Plasma Cannon.

Weight Class:
Heavyish-Medium. The Hou Yi is intended to fill the gap between medium ranged front line units and longer ranged sniper class vehicles in something of an assault-gun role. This requires it to be towards the rear of a fight, where it can stay in relative safety. Because of this, it needed to be able to keep up with the other fighters as the front line shifts. The reduced armor is somewhat offset by the Priwen Shield, but staying back is still the Hou Yi's main defensive option.

Special Ability: None known.

Framewerk Code Name: Archer



Signature Weapon System:
Anti Material Projectile - Thermal Type(A.M.P.T.T.) Cannon, also known as the Slag Cannon. This is a modified rail gun that can fire super-heated metal, typically tungsten, to melt through armor. The large amount of heat this generates limits the (Safe) firing rate for the weapon. Typically a technique known as "Time on Target" is used to increase the effectiveness of the first shot by following it up with one or more conventional rail-gun shots. The Archer's Prometheus Fire Control System automates the rapid loading and firing of these follow up shots, but they are more inaccurate than the initial shot due to recoil.

Secondary Weapon System:
Prometheus Fire Control System:
This system allows the Archer to track and predict enemy movements to a limited degree. While it isn't true prescience, it uses an advanced suite of sensors and adaptive computer models to develop the situational awareness to predict a target's movements. The system is also designed to learn from experience, so the more it is used the better the predictive models get and thus the system becomes more effective. It is primarily used to help the Archer's pilot to aim the main gun and handle the reloading of the main gun. The actual aim adjustment and pulling of the trigger are still done by the pilot. While it allows the Archer to accurately hit targets at remarkable ranges when both the target and Archer are stationary, movement of either the Archer or target reduces the accuracy of system remarkably. Typically this reduces the system to providing predictions (i.e. 80% of the shots fired will land in this particular area) of likely points of impact in most combat situations.

Hornet Nest Point Defense System:
Primarily a defensive system, there are several hidden missile pods located all over the Archer. At a moment's notice one or more missiles can be fired off to intercept incoming enemy fire with kinetic impact weapons, which are essentially large darts. While this is mainly to protect the Archer from return fire while on the move, the system can attack other targets such as airborne threats with less efficacy as the Hornet Nest missiles lack the explosive damage of conventional missile load-outs.

Armor Type:
Heavy. The heavy hitting nature of the main gun puts the Archer at the top of the enemy's list of targets, necessitating heavy protection. The Archer has been equipped with experimental armor that gives the same protection as conventional heavy armor while still allowing the heat from its main gun to dissipate. However the Archer still requires support to deal with close range engagements, as it is slower than most bipedal Framewerks and lacks a strong close range defense.

Framewerk Sheet

• Framewerk Code Name: Apophis
• Appearance:Something like this. Apophis doesn't even resemble an humanoid form as a framewerk. It is serpentine in both form and function, with a sleek design. The lenght of the mech is considerable, and the top segment is the actual core of the mech, as well as the position of the bore device it employs to bury itself underground. It is also designed so it can withstand immersion in lava.
• Signature Weapon System: Apophis' sensor array boasts a configuration that resembles more a scientific vessel than an actual combat borne mech. It possesses wide-spectrum analyzers as well as inbuilt top-of-the spec computers that can crunch data and give results in real time. However, due to the requirements of being it put on a mech, the range can be limited, and as such it requires to draw closer to the enemy to get the most accurate readings. Apophis' sensors are also adept at countering jamming and electronic warfare. They are a must for the underground navigation of this mech.
• Signature Weapon System: Magma Jet: A compartiment that runs along the whole body of Apophis can be filled with actual molten slag and magma while it travels underground. The accumulated fluid is then launched as high pressure electromagnetic rail projectile, which can cause thermic and physical damage upon contact. The accuracy is not great, though.
• Secondary Weapon System:Plasma Bore: A high-energy set of swirling blades across the top of the head of the mech, they are used to disintegrate and tear through sturdy materials, thus giving the Apophis the ability to dive underground and move through it as if it were a fluid medium. In a pinch, it can be used as a melee weapon for great effectiveness, although the Apophis itself has to grapple the target with its body in order to work.
• Secondary Weapon System: Segmentated Recombination- Apophis construction is unique in that every single segment beyod the head (and the cockpit) can be shed and discarded, and subsequently reattached with ease, thus allowing it to adapt to the increasing damages that the mecha can sustain during battle.
• Armor Type: Light.
• Special Ability: -Classified-

Name: Alyssa Camden
Appearance:

Gender: Female
Age: 18
Experience: 67%
Synchronization Rate: 62%
Personality: Though Alyssa is often a quiet and calm person, there are times when her emotions can overwhelm her. She generally tries her best to do what she believes is right, especially if it means the Cruxi pay for all the lives they've taken. In truth, however, she is terrified of entering live combat with the Cruxi, yet still she feels that she must fight. (Medical Note: She seems to suffer from depression, and could potentially commit suicide. An appropriate dosage of medicine has been prescribed to counter this.)

Background: Growing up on Damuran, all Alyssa ever really wanted was to be a musician and live a happy life. But then the Cruxi attacked, and everything just went to hell. Flames and confusion seemed to consume the planet as Alyssa and her family tried to reach a ship to escape, and after fighting through a massive crowd of screaming and desperate colonists they finally made it on-board... or so she thought. When Alyssa turned, smiling in relief, to look at her family... they weren't there. Where had they gone? She wondered, pushing back through a number of despairing colonists as the ship began to take off. Panic overcame her as the entry door closed right as she reached it, pressing against the porthole to see Clyde, her little brother, holding onto the handle of the door. The ship continued to rise, and Alyssa screamed out to her brother, trying wildly to open the door, as she saw his grasp beginning to slip. Suddenly an explosion tore into the city below, reaching as far as to violently rock the escape vessel Alyssa was on. She fell to the ground, but not before seeing the flames swallow her brother's form whole.

She continued to lay there on the floor, the last few images of her little brother flashing through her mind as if on repeat. Hoping, to some extent, that the Cruxi would take her life as well. Her older brother later convinced her to enlist in the Framewerk program with him

Notable Deaths:

• Michael S. Camden, father, killed in Cruxi attack on Damuran.
• Sora N. Camden, mother, killed in Cruxi attack on Damuran.
• Clyde R. Camden, younger brother, killed in Cruxi attack on Damuran.
• John J. Camden, older brother, listed MIA 6 months ago. Presumed dead.

Other things: She holds herself personally responsible for the death of her younger brother, Clyde. She also idolized her older brother, especially once the rest of their family died... and then following her enlistment, he was labeled "MIA".

Framewerk Code Name: Echo Thunder

Appearance:


Number of Framewerk Systems: 2

Signature Weapon System: Twin M96 "Pounder" Cannons, complete with Projectile Flight Path Calculation systems that predict the arcing paths of shells before they are fired from the weapon - though weather and enemy movement are not taken into account. The cannon barrels are capable of extending or shortening in length, which, when coupled with the 90 Degree Vertical Aiming Drive, permits the cannons to fire shells anywhere from short to long ranges. This weapon system comes with 2 preset 'modes':

• "Artillery Mode" - when the cannons are both extended and angled within 45 degrees from horizontal over the shoulders to allow for long-range bombardment. In this configuration, the cannons are restricted to a maximum firing rate of 15 rounds / minute each (30 rounds / minute in total).
• "Mortar Mode" - when the cannons are shortened and within 45 degrees of being vertical to allow for rapid bombardment at medium ranges, but is a fairly inaccurate mode of engagement due to projectile travel time. In this mode, the cannons can achieve a maximum firing rate of 30 rounds / minute each (60 rounds / minute in total)

Secondary Weapon System: A munitions rack containing various types of ammunition for the primary cannons (changing the type of shell prevents the use of the cannon in the same post).

• Standard Shell: Multipurpose shell with adequate armor penetration and explosion radius, designed for use in almost any environment. Especially well suited for firing upon a single-target in Artillery Mode.
• Tracer Shell: A low impact, high-volume shell originally designed to mark weapon spread across long distances and during nocturnal exercises, using a firework/flare-style explosion rather than a regular vapor or burn trail that could expose the user's location. While these shells deal minimal damage, they can be used to some effect to partially blind, or confuse enemies within the blast radius, as the explosive flash is large and burns long enough to be seen across extremely far distances. (Explosion color is white)
• HYDRA Shell: Specially designed shells that break apart and separate in midair, releasing a swarm of guided explosive "mini-missiles" that track targets based on proximity, delivering devastation over an entire sector. These shells must be carefully loaded, and therefore require more time to be loaded; slowing cannon firing rate down by about half. (max of 3 rounds per post)
• Titan Shell: Shells fitted with with three Conventional Large-Yield Explosive Warheads, each with a detonation size and strength resembling a Massive Ordinance Air Blast(MOAB). Recommended only for Artillery Mode, as the explosion radius is... quite large. Slows down cannon firing rate by about half as these shells must be carefully loaded, and only four can be stored on-board at a time. (max of 2 rounds per post)

Weight Class: Medium-Heavy
Equipped with medium-strength armor, allowing for decent flexibility - though movement speed still suffers due to the equipped firepower.

Special Ability: ERROR

Name: Elizabeth Fullbright, AKA Princess or El for short (if you can't be bothered to say her whole name)

Gender: Female
Age: 20
Experience: 85%
Synchronization Rate: 60%
Personality: Elizabeth is confident, though untested. Often views herself as better than those around her, but committed to the cause and follows orders with little concern for much more than the safety of her home planet, and those of the people that she is partnered with.
Background: Elizabeth Fullbright is a princess, and will make sure you know it. Her planet is located well within human territories and so far is safe from any immediate threat of Cruxi attack, however, she and the rest of her Royal family believe that the best way to protect the planet is to get involved in the problem early. Three of the five siblings have served or are currently serving. Her oldest brother did not join the cause, as to be able to stay safe and claim the throne when it is time, and the youngest sister who has not yet had a chance to serve. The oldest sibling to serve was her sister Anna, who died in combat shortly after taking the field in her first mission. Then there is Elizabeth, and lastly is the younger brother Vincent who is currently in officers academy and has strong prospects of commanding a strike vessel. Elizabeth has such a 'Princess' attitude about everything that the man who designed her werk, Hajima Tetsudo, named it after her in his families native tongue, "Ojo" meaning princess.
Notable Deaths: Her older Sister Anna, KIA.
Other things: Maria comes from a wealthy, technologically advanced planet, whose royal family has made considerable donations to the war effort in financial aid, technology development, and raw materials. Her home planet is called Praxis V, and is often used as an example of what being a good universal citizen should aspire to do. Elizabeth is even used as a poster child and appears in several propaganda films asking for others to follow her Father's lead. As such, most everybody who isn't from a deep space rock will recognize her. She resents any implication that she is only where she is because of pandering to her family and will routinely volunteer to support some of the riskiest missions because of it.
