Super shite W.I.P. but I'm done for the night. I have a lot of things to work out for his backstory, flesh out some motivations etc. and figure out who was at war with whom when. I'm taking liberties with some worldbuilding type stuff, but I think that was encouraged-if it's a problemo or anything needs to change, let me know. I'm pretty much assuming that dozens and dozens of conflicts were taking place during the Hylo-Therux war and the Great Orio (oreo?) War. 

[hider=Renzo]
[b]Name:[/b] [i]Renzo Adamar[/i]

[b]Age: [/b]31
[b]Origin:[/b] The Hylo Empire, [i]currently Fortune Region[/i]
[b]Height:[/b] 6'0
[b]Weight:[/b] 170 lbs

[b]Backstory: [/b][hr]
As tensions increased between the [b]Northern Frontier[/b] and the [b]Hylo Empire,[/b] the Adamar family contemplated immigrating to the [b]Fortune Region[/b] where many manufacturing jobs were available as the two great nations began stockpiling weapons. When the corporations discovered deposits of the miracle-fuel [i]Elementum[/i] in Fortune, they decided to leave the Empire. They settled in a small industrial city where Renzo's father found work as a welder and mechanic. His mother, a school teacher back in the Empire made money tutoring children of the slums and translating letters. 

When war finally erupted between the Northern Frontier and the Hylo Empire, Renzo was 16 and on a track to engineering school, but those plans were derailed after the [b]Colossi Day Attack[/b] by unmarked mechs that targeted 6 industrial cities in the Fortune Region. Various terrorist cells took credit for the attacks that killed 87,000 civilians, but many pundits and online sources suspect the Hylo Empire may have had a hand in the attack-which mainly targeted 3rd party industrial sites that were selling arms, ammunition and Elementum products to Northern Frontier Corporations. Renzo's father and mother were both killed. 

After a year of grieving, Renzo joined the Fortune Region Gendarmery, A militia of armed soldier-citizens that provided their own weapons and mechs to patrol and protect the border. Renzo would gain basic knowledge of combat and combat tactics in the Gendarmery, after which he found himself back in the Hylo Empire working with a defense contractor that was doing major operations within the Northern Frontier and covertly in the Therux Region. 

[i]Operation Artichoke[/i]
Artichoke was a highly classified mission bought and payed for by the Hylo Empire to enter Therux Airspace, antagonize a military response and then slip back into Hylo Territory. Because of the treaty signed between the two nations, Operation Artichoke was a highly classified mission. The mission was to last 18 weeks and detect response times at 8 different boundary locations. The Empire employed the private defense contractor [color=red]CLASSIFIED[/color] for the operation with limited success. 

After [i]Artichoke[/i] and the dissolution of the [color=red]CLASSIFIED[/color] company,  Renzo signed on with the newly formed Fortune Freedom Army that was combating separatists in Desert Sector. After 9 months, Renzo received a Combat Valor recommendation for wounds sustained.

Yes that assumption is correct, there are small skirmishes happening all the time, some were connectected to the huge wars but some are just a part of everyday. There is a lot of room to have your own creative input on the world building.
