[b]Minor History[/b]: Ian grew up outside a relatively good sized town in Alaska. He spent much of his childhood exploring the outside and learning to hunt. Life was peaceful there, until the event. Pictures of the major cities being burned filled the late night television slots, yet few in the town seemed to actually care. That was until the day an Alien machine, seemingly diverted from its path towards the nearby city of Anchorage and burned the small town to the ground. This galvanized what little doubt sat in Ian’s mind, and he joined the Robotika project, his skills as a marksman being noted by most that put him through the pilot tests. 
[b]Personality[/b]: Ian can be joking or blunt, sometimes both. He generally keeps an upbeat attitude and outlook and has no problems with his fellow pilots, though his tendency towards improvisation during combat has raised a few voices in the past. Companioned to these "improvisations" is a cold smile he wears during combat.
[b]Skills[/b]: Well rounded fighter that can adapt to the ever shifting battlefield
