-comes out of nowhere
Character Name: Malayke Jutrell
Age: 27
Species: Lioness
Sorry about the scant clothing in the second one. :/
Malayke stands at 5'8" and weighs a hearty 140lbs. Her dichromatic fur is a sandy beige on her back, and her stomach and inner sides of her limbs are a tanned cream. A thick head of vibrant orange hair cascades down her back in waves, and a set of teal eyes peers curiously from behind long lashes. She is muscular, but not heavily so, and has feminine curves and long limbs. She dresses normally in brown BDUs, giving her an almost monochrome appearance. Her visage is usually one of warmth, and her smile is bright and infectious.
Personality:
Malayke is a carefree, warm person, who always has an ear open to the stresses and hardships of life in the military. She is not judgmental, and views life with eyes wide open, accepting and congenial to all she encounters - except enemies. She is not weak, or innocent, and should not be expected or treated as such. However, there are instances where she is inexperienced, especially those dealing with politics. But the most memorable thing about Malayke is the lingering inquisitive feeling that follows from encounters with her. Either the way her head is perpetually tilted, or the aloofness of her dialog, or even a misplaced paroxysm of a laugh in response to things not meant to be jokes, when people talk to Malayke they can tell there is something a tad bit... off with the lioness. At times, she can be seen staring off into the distant at painful memories, and though she’ll talk of them freely, she dislikes to dwell on them.
Personal History:
Malayke Jutrell is from a small independent nation some ways away from Landren in the east. It shares a border with the north, and has had many influences from the Empire. Rendon, as it was named, was and has been in a proxy war with a few southern independent nations that fight for the South. Rendon is an urban nation, full of towering cities contrapuntal from the regular nations allied with the north. It was very militant, with no secret police, just an unforgiving army that reigned over the people indiscriminately, and drafted civilians without basis. There was often open warfare in the country, for the war was actually a losing one, and Rendon consistently gave ground to its enemies.
Malayke grew up in a loving home, but they were victims of the states as much as any other family. Her education was thorough, but without subjects of history, politics, arts, or other elective courses. She was an only child to a single father, who supported the two of them by being in the military(as if he had much choice). Malayke did not and does not agree with the teachings of the north, and hates the doctrine by which she was raised, and holds hatred in her heart toward the Empire, and the ignorance in which they keep their people. Malayke was never drafted, but when she turned 16 she signed up for service because there was little else for her to do in the rapidly deteriorating state. She had little other opportunities with the mass migrations of civilians by the government for safety.
The lioness excelled in the military, proving to be a valuable soldier. She rose through ranks easily, though she never became a commander. She was always a lone soldier after her initial introduction to service, more of an agent of espionage than a foot-soldier. . She was used in many different applications, but was finally put in a unit a little after she was 22. She was assigned to a unit called 'Backbreakers,' who were a specific force used to fight against enemy GEARs. Being at war with southern aligned forces, many awesome and powerful GEARs were used against Rendon. The group were tight knit and like minded, and Mal felt at home with them as best she can.
The were often deployed with heavy artillery, and made use of tanks and explosives regularly. It was a dangerous position, and she was constantly deployed, being in open combat for months on end. She was taught about GEARs, specifically how to pilot and general fighting against the hulking machines. After a while doing that, Malayke came across the Stalker in a battle, and after defeating the troops, and the pilot by forcing him to eject thanks to her favored caustic ammunition, the Rendon militia commandeered the slim GEAR, as they often did with enemy resources. After reconstruction and reloading, the GEAR was given to the Backbreakers for use against others of its kind. Malayke, being the most gifted pilot among them, took command of the Stalker.
It was around this time the war took a turn for the worse. Rendon shrunk dramatically, being pressed by enemies on all borders but the north.The main body of the militia retreated into the North, welcomed as heroes for their actions against heretics. However, all active and deployed troops were abandoned on the battlefield, leaving some 6000 troops stranded and at the mercy of their enemies. The Backbreakers were among these unlucky troops, and were deeply entrenched in enemy lines within weeks. The close group, all against the Empire for their treatment of them, decided instead of making their way North to desert. They traveled west toward more neutral territory, but it was rough going, with enemies found along the way at every turn. One by one, the unit lost members in their escape from warring territory, until only Malayke was left alone with her GEAR in neutral territory.
Eventually, she made her way West, ending up in Landren, and through uninteresting events became a part of the 101st Tactical Roughriders. She is haunted by her lost comrades, and the mystery of what became of her father.

Mecha Sheet
Gear Name / Serial Number: LNX34 ‘STALKER’ 4965:5224-TRH
The Stalker is a slight, slimline GEAR designed for clandestine operations. The blade on the GEAR’s left arm faces the opposite direction when deployed, and the right arm has the shown weapon integrated into the limb; an arm extends beneath it, and though is bulkier in appearance than the left arm, is not too weighed for the frame of the GEAR. The weapon system extends further than the arm and into the right shoulder, where three missile launching tubes are present. Although the shoulder looks encumbered, it retains full movement.
Role: Anti-GEAR/ Scout and recon/ Flanking
Normal Loadout:
-Head/neck mounted infantry caliber machine gun. On the top of Stalker’s extended neck, belt fed from x2 150 round belts stored above the cockpit.
-Shoulder mounted missile launcher. While loaded, the Stalker carries nine missiles, each of which are Malayke’s preferred corrosive tipped type. Each is like a warhead, hollowed partially out to contain a rapid-eating acid that can chew through armor and get to soft bodies beneath.
- Semi-Automatic 15mm chain gun, integrated with right arm. Usually has three types of ammunition: 200 rounds of normal ammunition, 200 rounds of anti-armor, and 150 rounds of corrosive ammunition(similar to the missiles, but of a much smaller quantity and slightly less acidic, but can still work its way through armor). Normal ammunition is defaultly loaded, ammunition types can be changed on the battlefield without exit from the GEAR, though it takes a minute for them to change.
-Retractable blade, located on the left arm, used mostly for harsh-terrain control and cutback. It has pneumatic capabilities, and can be used to punch holes in armor.
Other Systems & Equipment:
-Back camera tail: the tip of the tail of the Stalker holds an HD x3 optic zoom camera, as well as a radio antenna. This camera can be used to see around corners in urban environments, or gain a larger scope of any battlefield.
-Large panoramic battlefield simulation system: With the roving use of the tailcam, and the lack of windows in the Stalker, Malayke views the battlefield on rounded screens around her cockpit.
-DEP(Disrupting Electronic Pulse): A defensive measure, the Stalker emits a multi-frequency pulse that disrupts electrical sensors and gives false readings to many types of scopes and detection systems; used in combat when the Stalker is prematurely discovered and Malayke has to make herself close to invisible to escape direct fire. The pulse is harmless to ground soldiers and mechs themselves, but it does leave their systems in shock for a few minutes, so long as they stays in range.
-Her pilot's suit is integrated with the haptic and motion controls of the Stalker for more accurate readings and outcomes.
-Eject-able seat, with pilot's belongings casks attached to the seat(which holds her AR754, survival kit, and medical kit).
-Loud, bass oriented speakers, and multi-color lights in the cockpit, for Malayke is very fond of music and enjoys the strangeness of moody light. She is often signing when she is piloting; it helps her focus(she sings a lot, really, but she has a pleasant voice at least).
Other notes: The Stalker was built for stability, speed, and flexibility. It is light compared to other GEARs, but it what it lacks in strength it makes up for in ability. The GEAR can be easily taken down by a close enough explosion of any kind, but its advanced systems and fast reaction time make it a hard target to hit in general. As per its combat role, the Stalker is rarely actively being targeted. Malayke sits on the lip of the waist of the Stalker, with her legs snugly fit in the thin channel of the abdomen. It was not specifically crafted for use against GEARs; it was used as such by Malayke. The main 'anti-GEAR' part of Stalker is it's acidic munitions. The Stalker is most useful in urban environments, having the ability to flying through crossing streets and lose pursuit, and gain an angle.
