Name: Finnian 'Finn' Frei
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Personality: Finn is fairly quiet and soft-spoken. He's also one of the nicest and most selfless people you'll ever meet, to the point where it's actually become a problem. He'll always help anyone and everyone he can, even at his own expense. Because of this, more than a few people have thought him to be self-destructive, and while that's not entirely correct, it isn't too far from the truth, either. Having been at the Academy for 4 years, he's seen that he is no where near as talented as other students. Whether it's school work or sports, he's always been at the bottom. As a result, he has terrible self-esteem, viewing himself as someone who is worth less than others. He hides these self-worth issues under an ever-present, friendly smile.
Piloting his mecha is by far his favorite thing to do, mainly because it's the only thing he's above-average at. Despite this, he has the longest losing streak in the school's history, as whenever he's winning a battle, he'll lay off and let the other pilot get the upper-hand.
History:Finn comes from a happy family of overachievers. Both his parents are very successful and wished for their children to also be, so when Finn's older brother expressed his interest in becoming a mecha pilot, they sent him to Tsukino-Danvers Academy. A year later, Finn's sister left for the Academy too. Of course, seeing both his siblings leave to become pilots, he decided he would do the same. The three stayed in touch, and with every experience that his brother and sister told him about, he became more and more excited for the day when he could also leave for the school.
And so, two years later, Finn also began attending the Academy. He quickly found out it wasn't going to be all he had hoped for. His siblings were both well-known, top students, which meant that seemingly everyone had very high expectations of him. When he couldn't live up to them, his child-like optimism changed into resignation, and he accepted the fact that he'd never be as talented as others.
Finn spent his next years by helping others, modifying his Mechanical Frame, and losing training battles.
Mechanical Frame:A heavily modified UEG-V4, dubbed "Samael" by Finn, it's made to be fairly balanced with a moderate preference towards speed and mobility. A jack-of-all trades, the frame can fill nearly any role. Of course, this also means it's a master of none, so to be used effectively the pilot must be quick-thinking and flexible, able to change battle plans at any given moment.
Weaponry:Marksman Rifle - A mix between a standard assault rifle and a sniper rifle, the marksman rifle can be used effectively at any range. It is magazine-fed and semi automatic. It uses powerful explosive slugs, whose detonation can be controlled by Finn if he holds the trigger down after a shot. The slug will explode on release. If Finn pulls the trigger and releases it immediately, the round will instead explode a split second after impact.
Superheated Blade: Fairly standard sword. Cuts things.
Superheated Knife: Also cuts things. Used in emergencies.
Booster Jets: These give the mecha a quick, powerful push in any direction. Used to evade attacks, close the distance between Finn and an opponent, or give Samael's physical hits more power.
Tail Spear: A tail that has been programmed to automatically help Samael keep it's balance. Also has a pointy-end, so it can stab things.
Lightweight Armor: The armor used is lighter and weaker than the standard armor, though not by very large margins.
Shielding System: Energy shields that cover Samael's entire frame are used to make up for the weaker armor. The shields themselves are also weak, but in exchange they regenerate quickly.
