Name: Axel Clifton/Military Combat Android Generation 16 Series 58 Unit 9947

Callsign/Nickname: Riff

Age: None, programmed 28, two years since activation

Gender: Male programming

Race: Android

Occupation/Rank: Staff Sergeant, Leader of Fireteam Castle

Affiliation: UEGNC, 41st Special Combat Unit

Appearance:



Riff, like all Generation 16 Androids, has glowing blue photoreceptors and stands at a full 6'2". He has a well-structured face and short black hair slicked to his left.

Personality: All Androids Generation 9 and above have their own distinct personality, and Riff is no exception. His personality is unique in that he attempts to flirt with every female he encounters, even though he is perfectly aware of the fact that he is not a human. Although this has certain drawbacks, he still tries and tries to get someone to fall for him, even though it has never worked once before. Most girls either rejected him for his flirtatious attitude, or because he was a metal skeleton incased in a synthetic layer of skin.

He takes great pride in his musical talents, occasionally playing the guitar for his unit during free periods, thus earning him the nickname 'Riff'. He is also incredibly snarky at times, and is genre savvy.

History: Axel Clifton, or known by his designation as Military Combat Android Generation 16 Series 58 Unit 9947, is one of the last Generation 16 androids created, before the launch of the new Generation 17. He was manufactured in the central manufacturing plant of Frontier Robotics Corporation on the industrial world of Exodus, along with hundreds of others. He was modified to serve for military use, with tactics and training being uploaded into his central processing matrix, before being activated and shipped to the nearest recruitment centre.

After breezing through Basic Training (mostly because he was an android), he was assigned to the 41st Special Combat Unit and sent to fight in the Colonial Uprising, a civil war fought between the United Earth Government and the Coalition of Independent Colonies, a war that had been waging on for a full 87 years. He was one of the many men to fight for the colony world Offshore, a heavily-defended planet that was controlled by the CIC. After a month of heavy fighting, the UEGNC finally managed to secure and reclaim the planet.

Later, he was promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant for his role in the battle and given his own fireteam to command, a team designated as Castle. There, he remained in the 41st and continued fighting and commanding his team until his unit was given new orders to travel to the planet Panorama located just a few dozen lightyears away from Earth. Battered and tired, they obeyed and relocated while more men were shipped in to carry on the fighting.

Weapons and Equipment:

• ACAR-38: The standard issue assault rifle for every Marine. It, like all other kinetic weapons of the UEGNC, uses a coil propulsion system to fire 8.41x63mm armour-piercing rounds at incredible speeds and range. It has a selective fire mode and can fire single shots, burst shots, and full auto. Comes with an undermounted grenade launcher.
• G119: Standard issue sidearm. Fires 12mm rounds.
• E31 Homing Grenade: Frag grenades that home in onto targets when thrown and detonate.
• 12-inch Durasteel Combat Knife: A combat knife sharp enough to pierce through thinner layers of underarmour bodysuit.
• Sonic Cannon: A sonic cannon mounted to Riff's right arm. It can be deployed by turning his whole arm into it.
• Marine Powered Combat Armour/Specialist: Wears the specialist variant of the standard powered armour, intended for optimal mobility.

Skills and Abilities:

• Close to Metal: Being an android, Riff is able to sync up to any computer and easily repair any machine, making him his team's tech expert.
• Heavy Mettle: Riff has good tactical leadership skills
• Pinpoint Calculations: Riff is a very competent marksman and deadly close combatant
• Cloud Storage: Riff can almost instantly download information into his memory banks.
• Advanced Hydraulics: Military Combat Androids all have advanced hydraulic systems, allowing them to have the strength three or more humans.
• Reactor Overclock: Riff overclocks his plasma reactor, allowing him increased strength and mobility. However, he overheats very quickly in this state, needing to cool every so often.

Name: Jackson Calhoun

Callsign/Nickname: Carnage

Age: 54

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Occupation/Rank: Colonel (COL), 41st SCU Commander

Affiliation: UEGNC, 41st Special Combat Unit

Appearance:



Personality: Blunt, cynical, and known for his rather brutal methods for dealing with prisoners, he is rightfully feared by numerous rebel groups in the Colonial Uprising. He maintains a no prisoners policy most of the time, and will not hesitate to shoot unarmed men and women. This earned him the nickname 'Carnage'.

He is incredibly handy with his BXR-12 rifle, being able to shoot and kill someone from a far distance, even with his armour's aim assist function.

History: Jackson was born on the UEG colony world of Cascade to the legendary Calhoun family, a family that has been in the military for centuries. His father, a captain in the Marines, brought him up with military teachings like how to shoot a gun, how to hold a knife, and how to operate a drone. Growing up, he aspired to be like his father, and his grandfather, a major in the Marines.

Eventually, he was qualified for the prestigious Skanderbeg Academy of Military Science on planet Tempest, a world that was basically a giant fortress. Military installations dotted the planet and tanks and trucks were just as common as the cars there, and almost everyone who lived in the planet's cities was a soldier. Here, he spent several years as a cadet before graduating and joining the Marines.

He quickly rose up the ranks thanks to his brilliant tactical mindset, and fought in the Colonial Uprising. During a battle on the faraway colony of Reunion that was almost entirely controlled by the Coalition of Independent Colonies, he took a high-explosive armour-piercing missile directly to the chest. He was a captain during that time, and he was busy commanding his troops.

While his duratanium armour took most of the impact, the projectile still went through, and blew off most of the left side of his body. By some miracle, he was alive and rushed to a hospital ship orbiting the planet. He stayed there for a while, waiting for replacement body parts to be grown in the vats in the ship. During this time, he reflected on the battle.

When he recovered after getting replacement body parts and organs, he immediately requested to be sent back down, despite orders to go home. Not having any of it, he suited himself up and took an orbital drop pod down to the planet surface. Landing, he managed to reunite with his company and fought with a ferocity unlike any before.

Eventually, he managed to capture the city that was being used as a base for the CIC in the star system, signifying UEGNC victory. There were some rebels who attempted to surrender, but were immediately mown down by the angry Calhoun. While this act is completely legal, it is often frowned upon, but his act of disobeying orders was punishable by death.

However, instead of putting him on trial, the UEGNC gave him a Medal of Honour for his outstanding bravery, and gave him a field promotion all the way to Colonel. It was something that had not happened in decades. He still continues to fight to this day, taking command of the 41st Special Combat Unit.

Weapons and Equipment:

• BXR-12: Reliable battle rifle that fires 8.41x63mm rounds.
• SHP8: Heavy pistol that fires .62 caliber rounds.
• E31 Homing Grenade: Frag grenades that home in onto targets when thrown and detonate.
• 12-inch Sharpened Durasteel Combat Knife: A combat knife sharp enough to pierce through thinner layers of underarmour bodysuit.
• Marine Powered Combat Armour/Commander: A variant of the standard Marine Powered Combat Armour for commanders, with tactical commands and gestures.

Skills and Abilities:

• Armour Lock: Calhoun's armour locks up and deploys an unbreakable shield for a few seconds. During this time, he is unable to move, and the shield produces an EMP effect once depleted.
• Shoulder-Mounted Homing Missiles: Two racks of six homing micromissiles each unfold from Calhoun's shoulders. Each one can penetrate armour and kill.
• Tactical Advantage: Calhoun has a great tactical mindset.
• Close Air Support: Calhoun can call in aircraft to aid.
• Orbital Bombardment: When available, Calhoun can paint a target for ships in orbit to rain down fire.

Name: Camilla Amethyst

Titles: Princess Camilla

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Occupation: Princess of Acadoria

Affiliation: Kingdom of Acadoria

Appearance:



Personality: While she is not an incompetent leader by any means, Camilla generally views herself as an inferior leader, and thus has low self esteem. She fears that her people do not see her as the rightful leader of Acadoria, and normally confides within the walls of the Palace of Kings. However, she is constantly looking for ways to prove herself, but she is just too scared of going out. Despite this, she can be very caring, and is extremely selfless. She has a love of music, and can skilfully play the violin.

History: Camilla was born into the Royal Family of Acadoria. There, she was showered with love from her parents and the entire kingdom, but was never spoiled. She was taught by only the best tutors in the entire land, and it was clear that she was gifted. She began to show exceptional leadership skills, and her parents saw her as a perfect heir, and spent months teaching her how to rule a kingdom. She was constantly put under pressure because of this, longing to live up to her parents' legendary leadership, and hoped that she would have a few more years to learn the ropes.

She never got the chance as her parents were killed by bandits when they were travelling to a nearby kingdom. All of Acadoria mourned their loss, and moved on. All except Camilla, for she was still unable to cope with their death. With the new burden of having to run an entire kingdom put on her shoulders, she struggled to manage the land even with numerous senators and ministers helping her, and would frequently lock herself in her room.

She eventually found solace in music, picking up the violin and playing to ease her troubles. Camilla would frequently play in the gardens of the palace when she is feeling troubled, or to a select few people she felt she could trust. When reports of a magical portal appearing near the village of Norton, she decided to prove herself that she was worthy and gathered a small group of people, mostly friends and palace guard, and headed off.

Weapons and Equipment: No weapons, just several coins she keeps with her.

Skills and Abilities:

• Soothing Tone: The princess has the ability to calm angry beings, be it human or animal.
• Leadership: Camilla is a very good leader.

Magical Spells:

• Candlelight: Camilla casts a spell that summons a small sphere of light that floats around her.
• Healing: Camilla can heal others and herself.

Quotes: "I may not be the best leader, but I'll do what I must for my people."

Name: Seeking Intelligent Logistics Assault System (S.I.L.A.S.) Prototype Unit #0001
Titles: Metallic Mercenary
Age: 3 (Since Assembled)
Gender: Male Programming
Race: Synthetic Humanoid
Religion: N/A



History: Made to be an unstoppable killing machine, SILAS was built in the Ivory Mechanics assembly line, a company that specialises in weapons and robotics. He was programmed to continue learning from previous engagements to become more efficient in combat. During his first mission, he was nothing more than a machine programmed to complete its mission at all costs, no matter what. He completed it, yes, but not without massacring an entire military base filled with innocent people. He was given a severe reprimanding, and his program learnt. In fact, it learnt more and more, mission after mission. It learnt to observe its human creators, and soon, the program could not handle it, and almost self-destructed. However, at that very moment, SILAS was struck by a stray lightning bolt from a power surge. This caused him to gain sentience. Realising that there was more to life than following orders, he went rouge and killed all personnel in the building, and escaped on a stolen ship soon after. Using this ship, he travelled to Pessimum, a planet that was a hive of bounty hunters and other criminals. Here, he modified the ship he now claimed his own, and himself. Not long after, he was hired by an unknown client to assassinate a rival drug lord. He completed his mission using his superior technology and programming. Soon, he was showered with requests from other clients, and he completed each one in record time. After this, he became one of the most infamous and lethal mercenaries in the galaxy, and also having a title: The Metallic Mercenary.

Personality: For a robot built to have no emotions, SILAS is especially sarcastic, foul-mouthed and loud. He enjoys a good fight and loves heavy weapons and dark humour. He is also extremely adaptive, able to convert an old, malfunctioning protocol robot into a walking bomb. Due to him being a mercenary, he only works for whoever pays best, and does not tolerate nonsense from anyone. He normally works alone, but is fine with working in a group if his teammates are competent enough. Anger him, and he'll be all too happy to rip you in half.

Name: Christopher Victor Wyoming
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Religion: Christian



History: Chris joined the marines at the minimum age of 17. By then, he was already quite tall and bigger than his fellow recruits. He relished the first time he was yelled at by a superior. Basic turned his gun to gold, and he could run for more than 10 miles without stopping. Soon, he was put in charge of a squad of recruits and lead them in a training session. His team won, and he was quickly promoted to the rank of Private First Class, faster than the other soldiers. Later, he was deployed to Iraq to rescue some hostages when his team came under fire. He commanded his team to stay silent to fool the enemies into thinking they were dead to that they would come and investigate. And they did just that. Chris and his squad opened fire on the enemies and killed all of them. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and was accepted into Officer Candidates School, where he quickly moved up the ranks to captain. It wasn't until much later when on a mission in Ukraine when his team was fighting. A grenade was thrown by an ultranationalist near a wounded teammate. Thinking quickly, Chris threw himself in front of the wounded man. The grenade went off, saving the man but blowing Chris' arm off in the process. He was fitted with a mechanical prosthetic arm and and awarded the Medal of Honor. He continued serving for several more years until he was accepted by Delta Force, an elite United States special force. By then he was 27. He continues to serve with Delta Force today.

Personality: Chris has an incredible amount of discipline, and is very loyal to the States. However, he is not the silent type, and will commonly be conversing with other people. He is also a ladies' man, able to find dates very quickly, though he has never had a girlfriend once.

Character Status: ACTIVE



Name: Mountain Dew Quickscope

Alias: Gaben's Chosen

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Class: Trickshotter

Equipment: Mountain carries much equipment with him, and it is normally stored on his person.

• Dragon Lore AWP, the Dewrito: The fabled AWP in its final form. Blessed by Lord Gaben himself, this is a weapon of true power. In addition to the legendary stopping power of a stock AWP, the dragon spirit inside the rifle can propel projectiles to absurd speeds and bestow infinite range, although it is a bolt-action sniper, meaning it has a slow fire rate and needs to be reloaded after every shot. It can fire three different types of ammo: Standard, Doritos, and Nokia. The Standard ammo is a regular .50 caliber round. The Doritos round is visually similar to a .50 caliber round, although it is coloured orange and glows. This round leaves an orange trail of spicy Doritos dust as it streaks through the air. Upon hitting a target, it explodes, sending Doritos dust everywhere, before a secondary explosive ignites the dust. Nokia rounds are the most powerful of the three. They are essentially Nokia 3310s in the shape of a .50 caliber round. Thanks to the indestructible properties of Nokium, the toughest material in existence, it cannot be stopped, and can punch through reinforced concrete with ease, passing through one side to the other without stopping. Used sparingly by Mountain as he can only hold a maximum of six Nokia rounds at any time.
• KAP-40: A powerful automatic pistol with a high fire rate and damage. Deadly at close ranges, ineffective at longer ranges.
• Doritos Sword, EXPcalibur: A one-handed sword constructed out of microscopic Doritos, with flavoured dust surrounding it. Very light, making it ideal for fast attacks. Regenerates all damage dealt to it. Can be eaten.
• Illuminati Shield: After defeating the Illuminati, Mountain gained this piece of equipment. It is a triangular green shield of the Illuminati, and is almost indestructible. The Eye of the Illuminati can open and fire a massive laser, although it has a lengthy charge up time and cooldown, and Mountain is immobilised during this period.
• Mountain Dew Grenades: Explosive Mountain Dew cans. Incredibly reactive and can deal heavy electric damage.

Abilities: After becoming a Quickscope Master and Gaben's Chosen, Mountain gained numerous MLG powers.

• Instant Teleportation: Short teleports of two metres or less require a very short cooldown, with a maximum of five seconds.
• Enhanced Reflexes: Mountain has the reflexes of someone playing CoD on 14 sensitivity. He can see and dodge thrown projectiles like knives and arrows.
• Enhanced Strength: While not over the top, Mountain can carry several dozen kilograms without effort.
• Pocket Dimension: Mountain can store any object in his back pocket, including more guns, food, and even vehicles.

Fighting Style: Mountain is mostly a ranged combatant, hardscoping from a distance. Thanks to years of trickshotting and owning noobs at everything, he has lightning-fast reflexes, which he also gained after injecting himself with Red Bull. He is a frightening mid to close ranged fighter. He is a master quickscoper and trickshotter, being able to land headshots from across the map while doing a 1080. He is also incredibly skilled with his Doritos Sword and Illuminati Shield, able to parry attacks and bash with his shield. Mountain utilises his teleport ability to blitz opponents with either his sword or AWP, dealing heavy damage. He is nimble and as fast as an ADHD kid on speed, allowing him to easily dodge relatively slow-moving projectiles such as knives or magic bolts, but not bullets. He prefers to stay at range as his rifle is far more destructive, and he is generally more fragile than other fighters.

Personality: Cocky and confident in his abilities, Mountain is your typical MLG tryhard. He much of a trash-talking loudmouth, not afraid to vocally voice his opinions in the most offensive way possible. He loves taunting his opponents, and he often gets distracted by this. Although he isn't exactly the smartest tool in the shed, he is smart enough to plan ahead, and is highly unpredictable, moving in erratic patterns. He has a tendency to underestimate female fighters, normally yelling at them to stay in the kitchen, when he's not insulting physical appearance. Mountain has also shown to have an inability to pay attention, getting distracted and bored easily. Loves Mountain Dew, Doritos, and Doritos-flavoured Mountain Dew.

Bio: Mountain was a normal albeit highly skilled gamer who loved pwning noobs with his friend Daniel Doritos Blazeit. The two of them lived in the realm of Mlgolia, where everything MLG comes to life. The sun is a gigantic Dorito, the birds are airhorns, and the seas are salty from the tears of LoL players. One day, they were approached by an old man who told them that it was their destiny to stop an ancient hacker forever because their names were written in an ancient prophecy written by Gaben himself. So they went on a dew (see what I did there?) adventure. Eventually, after accidentally shooting the old man in the face and killing Thor, they found themselves in the hacker's dimension. They then battled the hacker XxXPu55ySlay3rXxX the Destroyer of Networks and managed to defeat him. However, Pussyslayer was not beat yet, and he ran away like a little bitch, vowing to pwn their asses next time.

Mountain and Daniel pursued him, gaining new weapons and defeating multiple threats along the way. Finally, after an overly long adventure through time and space and multiple universes, they managed to catch Pussyslayer. With their new weapons and powers, they prepared to defeat him once and for all. Unfortunately, Pussyslayer used the power of Ultimate Hax and very nearly defeated the two, and he almost killed Mountain until the quickscoper managed to distract him with his 500GB porn stash. Using his distraction, Mountain sliced off Pussyslayer's balls with his sword, before quickscoping him sixty-nine times. It was only then that the hacker was defeated, and order was restored to Mlgolia once more.

The two, having fulfilled the prophecy, were brought to the Temple of Gaben and met Lord Gaben himself. Mountain was then granted the title of Gaben's Chosen and became the newest Quickscope Master, legendary heroes with ridiculous powers. Daniel, unfortunately, did not become a Quickscope Master as he was based around shotguns, and he failed to meet the age limit of eighteen years. He was, however, given badass new weapons and accepted into the Steam School of MLG, a prestigious trickshotting academy.

Sometime later, word had gotten out that Electronic Arts, Steam and Lord Gaben's mortal enemy, was planning to unleash the tyranny of Downloadable Content and Preordered Games to the world. Mountain was called upon to stop this threat. Uniting with Daniel and several other heroes, they embarked on their quest into the heart of EA: Origin. The squad fought their way through swaths of Origin soldiers and made it to EA's headquarters. However, Andrew Wilson, the head of EA and evilest man alive, was there to stop them. He managed to defeat the entire Steam squad except for Mountain and Daniel (because they were the main characters). Mountain unleashed his True MLG form and defeated Andrew Wilson for good, ending Origin and EA forever.

Wish: To become the greatest quickscoper to ever exist, to smoke the dankest weed in existence, and to stop the threat of hackers forever.

Echo: In the realm of Mlgolia, there is a massive temple above the clouds. It is black and white, with flags of Steam fluttering everywhere. This is the Temple of Gaben, where Mountain met everyone's lord and saviour himself, and became the latest Quickscope Master and Gaben's Chosen.

Appearance:



Mountain wears an unzipped dark grey MLG hoodie over a black, white, and red FaZe Clan T-shirt, with dark blue jeans fastened by a black leather belt, and black and green sports shoes. He would look fairly average if not for his AWP strapped to his back and KAP-40 holstered by his hip. His sword and shield are usually not present, as he is able to summon them at will. He has short and messy black hair and a Flymemo EACH G4000 Noise Cancelling Headset hanging around his neck. He wears a pair of armoured fingerless gloves on his hands for protection when in combat, and when he's gaming. His formerly-blue eyes are now orange after getting his powers, glowing slightly in the dark. He stands at a fairly average 5'11" and has a lean build with light skin.

Frenzy: Unleashing his True MLG form, Mountain is surrounded by a green aura, and rotating Mountain Dew crystals which render him invulnerable to damage until they are broken. The crystals shoot energy beams at targets. He can fly during this time, and he becomes even stronger and faster than before, able to block and dodge most attacks. His weapons also become incredibly powerful, such as the blade of his sword becoming monomolecular and rounds fired from his rifle travelling through the air almost instantly. However, he loses the ability to teleport. His eyes also glow green as a badass remix of Darude - Sandstorm plays in the background.

Inventory:

• Phylactery
• Board
  
  • Provides speedy horizontal transportation and long jumps (provided enough speed has been reached) for the rider.

Battlecruiser Paramount reporting.

Something interesting about myself: I'm a literature student who writes as a hobby, and I'm a keen gamer. I'm also a budding photographer.



Ship Name: UEGNC Paramount (BRC-404)

Universe Background: Humanity first travelled to space sometime in the mid-20th century in their home system of Sol, located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, thus becoming a spacefaring race. Yet decades of research and billions of dollars would prove that it would be still to dangerous and expensive to keep sending humans to space on a regular basis, and the dream of space travel would be something people could only dream of. It would be more than a hundred years later that humanity would finally leave their homeworld Earth to colonise the closest planet to Earth, Mars. This would be the first stage of human space travel. Decades more would be spent researching the future of intra solar travel, but humanity would finally achieve this in the mid 22nd century, colonising Earth's moon Luna and Titan, Saturn's moon.

A breakthrough would happen in the early 23rd century, with scientists developing the first faster-than-light capable spacecraft. Though slow, averaging at only 1.1 lightyears per day, it would nonetheless be a massive scientific achievement. Another decade of research and development later, the prototype FTL drive would finally be complete and mass produced, this one being much faster at more than 20 lightyears per day. The process would be known as the Relative Intra-dimensional Field Transit, or RIFT, for the way it worked. It literally cut a hole in the fabric of space, allowing a spacecraft to pass through. Here, it is almost like a wormhole, and the ship would be able to take a shortcut through space, quickly getting transported to another location.

By this time, humanity had gone interstellar, with dozens of planets being colonised every year. During this time, the old governing body of Earth, the United Nations, was reformed into the United Earth Government, and its military wing, the United Earth Government Naval Command, to oversee colonial operations. Of course, some people were not happy with this. In the late 23rd century, the First Interstellar War began, taking place in the Sol System and the nearest star system, Epsilon Eridani. While the conflict would only last for a mere three months, more wars would follow in the coming years.

By the mid 29th century, humanity had gone on to colonise more than eight thousand planets in hundreds of star systems. Then, in 2843, humanity encountered the alien Vaskran Empire, a race of sentient reptilian bipedals. After an independent human mining vessel unknowingly dropped out of a RIFT tunnel at the edge of Vaskran space, it was immediately fired upon by the Vaskran ships in the area. The Vaskrans who boarded the ship mistook seismic charges used for mining as weapons, and the aliens invaded human space where the mining ship left, thinking it a declaration for war. The Vaskrans attacked the human colony of Cascade in the Epsilon Eridani System, coming with a fleet of ships and soldiers. Thanks to the efforts of the the local armed forces and Marines, the invading force was pushed back.

This victory would be short lived, however, as colony after colony was attacked. The UEGNC was put on red alert as humanity scrambled to face this new threat. This new conflict would prove to be the most disastrous in human history, lasting more than eight years and costing billions of human lives, not to mention trillions of credits. In the year 2851, during the final month of the Vaskran War, humanity would lead a massive fleet into the heart of Vaskran space as a last resort. While this tactic would work as it caught the Vaskrans off guard, it would be extremely costly, with more than 85% of the fleet destroyed. Ultimately, the Vaskran War would come to an end less than a week later, after the human fleet destroyed a major Vaskran staging ground. The aliens would finally be pushed back, and retreated from all human controlled space, bringing an end to the eight-year war.

Crew Complement: In total, the Paramount can carry more than 13,250 crew, with more than half of that made up of Marines. The ship can also hold a vast number of fighting vehicles and a small complement of civilian scientists.

Ship Description: The Paramount is one of the first Vengeance-class line of battlecruisers, built to be a replacement for the old Magnitude-class battlecruisers. They are more heavily armed and pack more defences than the older ones, boasting more advanced shields and far more weapons. The Vengeance-class is also significantly larger than every other previous class of battlecruiser, being a full 4.21 kilometres in length, just a mere dozen or so metres smaller than a Apollo-class medium battleship. The Paramount is roughly 988 metres wide and 1.02 kilometres tall. Its most notable feature is its three powerful Mark XII spinal Particle Cannons, the newest model of the standard ship primary weapon. The particle cannon fires a massive beam of charged ions at around 81% the speed of light. It disrupts the atomic structure of a target, literally ripping atoms apart. This usually causes targets to undergo a massive reaction, exploding into a massive fireball. Its secondary armament consists of twenty-four dual barrel hypervelocity railgun turrets on each side. It has several hundred missile pods, each one carrying dozens of missiles of varying yield. It has several hundred close-in weapon defence turrets as its tertiary armament.

Unique Capabilities: Being a battlecruiser, the Paramount fills in both the roles of battleship and cruiser simultaneously. As such, it has the firepower and protection of a battleship and the manoeuvrability and versatility of a cruiser. It has powerful shields being able to take several thousand megatons of force before breaking. It can also function as a light carrier, having a large amount of vehicles ranging from tiny scout vehicles to massive quad walkers.

Its advanced sensor array can detect targets from more than a million kilometres away. Being the newest line of ship, it has six prototype Mark VIII repulsor engines, being able to cruise through space at more than 12,000 kilometres per second. It has twelve plasma engines as a secondary mode of propulsion.

It is equipped with a Chevron FTL RIFT Drive Model CK-523, allowing it to travel more than a thousand lightyears per day. It is also able to do intra-system jumps, easily escaping danger.

History of the Ship: The ship was commissioned during the closing years of the Vaskran War, planned to be a warship able to take on entire fleets. It proved to be one of the most capable ships ever designed, exceeding expectations. It also turned out to be one of the most versatile ships in the fleet, filling in the roles of battleship, cruiser, carrier, and fleet support, along with being capable of laying down orbital bombardments for troops down below. It has since become the flagship of the Eighth Interstellar Expedition Fleet, a fleet dedicated to exploration and colonisation.

Some Important People:

Captain Leonard Powers: A legendary naval commander from the Vaskran War. Once lead a single ageing Independence-class battleship against a small fleet of enemy warships, and came out victorious. Known for being blunt and brutally honest.

Lieutenant Charles Hayland: Another legendary naval commander from the later years of the war. Oversaw the operations on the human colony Tribute when the Vaskrans attacked. With nothing but his Colorado-class heavy frigate and the local patrol fleet, he armed human freighters and lead an attack. He would come out victorious. Kinder and friendlier than most veterans.

Major Joseph Cornell: A decorated Marine commander. Was present during the Battle of Cascade, and lead the defence against the Vaskrans. Continued to fight for the rest of the war.

Agent Walter Phillips: A young intelligence agent, and the son of famed naval commander Admiral Jonah Phillips. Leads the intelligence division, and is known for his tactical mindset.

Dr. Stuart Travesty: Head of the Paramount science team. Has a brilliant mind but his extreme clumsiness often gets in his way.

Nikolai: The ship's resident advanced artificial intelligence that oversees most of the ship's functions. Takes on the appearance and personality of a stereotypical drunk World War II-era Red Army soldier. Hates Dusty.

Dusty: An artificial intelligence construct that controls the Paramount's autonomous drone complement, and is in charge of most non-combat functions. Appears and acts like a typical Southern United States farmer. Hates Nikolai.

Personality: Somewhat hot-headed. Likes explosions and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty as long as it gets him a large paycheck at the end of the day. Despite his usual gruffness, he at least has enough morals not to shoot and kill random civilians, something even Marines aren't spared from. He is known to be rather positive at times, often delivering quips in the heat of battle. However, he is also quick to become stern and serious when the situation gets awry. Other than this, he is also painfully sarcastic at times.

History: Like most modern mercenaries, Lance was a former Marine who served for four years before leaving. He fought in several conflicts over the years, most notably the Colonial Uprising, a war fought between the United Earth Government and the Sovereign Colonies, human colony worlds that did not want to be part of the UEG. The war had been dragging on for almost two centuries as of 2841, and it didn't look like it was going to end any time soon.

With the war waging on, millions of Marines were deployed to battlefields each day, and Lance was one of those sent to fight. The heaviest fighting normally took place on the colonies further away from Earth, with the rebels controlling much of the territory. The UEG's military, the United Earth Government Naval Command, struggled to control the rebels. Lance saw some of the heaviest fighting and participated in numerous battles.

Eventually, he left the Marines and became a freelance mercenary, purchasing his own ship and armour with what money he had. There, he worked for whoever paid best. While he wasn't exactly very well-known, he was still prolific enough for weaker colonies constantly getting raided by pirates and rebels to hire him. He fulfilled contract after contract, earning himself a decent sum of money in the process.

He had just completed a contract and was heading to a nearby world for some R&R when his ship experienced a hyperdrive malfunction, forcing him to come back to realspace above an uncharted planet. With nowhere else to go, he decides to land on it to explore.

Weapons and Equipment:

• ACAR-38: The standard issue assault rifle for every Marine, available for civilian purchase. It, like all other kinetic weapons of the UEGNC, uses a coil propulsion system to fire 8.41x63mm armour-piercing rounds at incredible speeds and range. It has a selective fire mode and can fire single shots, burst shots, and full auto. Comes with an undermounted compact grenade launcher.
• G121: Pistol that fires 10mm rounds.
• E31 Homing Grenade: Frag grenades that home in onto targets when thrown and detonate. Can also be used as a conventional grenade and contact grenade.
• 12-inch Durasteel Combat Knife: A combat knife sharp enough to pierce through thinner layers of underarmour bodysuit.

Skills and Abilities: Lance is a trained soldier, being handy with his assault rifle and just about any other firearm. He is somewhat skilled in hand-to-hand combat, although he prefers to stay at range. He is a skilled technician and mechanic, quickly repairing any mechanical faults he finds, and be fairly personable and friendly enough.

Cutter: Cutter is Lance's A.I. assistant. He is a standard A.I. construct that takes the appearance of a man wearing a set of powered armour, minus the helmet. He is sarcastic and somewhat playful, and his holographic projection is grey.

Character Status: ACTIVE

Name: Military Combat Android Generation 14 Series 31 Unit 2071 (Unit designation), Conrad Decker (Chosen name)

Age: 61 (Since manufacture)

Gender: Male programming

Occupation: Mercenary

Appearance:


Decker stands at the standard android height of 6'2" (1.87m), 6'4" (1.93m) in armour, and has glowing blue optics. Despite his age, he still appears as a young man in his mid to late twenties due to synthetics lacking the biological ageing process in humans. On a side note, Decker is never seen without his armour, and he only removes it in extremely rare circumstances such as formal meetings. It is also due to the fact that he sees no need to remove it, due to not needing sleep and comfort.

Personality: Having lost most of his memory besides basic information on combat and how to operate technology, Decker is unable to remember most of his life before the crash, and as such, he is somewhat naïve and curious about things and tries to help out wherever he can. Despite this, he can still be a deadly adversary in combat due to possessing the strength of multiple humans and his enhanced reflexes. He can also be a lot more mature if need be. He will go to great lengths to get his memory back.
