Nah, just stubborn zealots who don't have the good sense to just die and leave everyone else alone.

Enyo

Enyo Garret

"The name's... Ghost

Call Sign:
Ghost

Height:
5'9"

Weight:
170 Lbs

Age:
32

Origin:
The Northern Frontier


Backstory:

2220-2225

Enyo was only 17 when he Joined the armed forces of the North. He already received training at the age of 15 due to the rising tension of the world was apparent. He received training in many different smaller scout Mechs. Usually ones meant for Anti-Troop engagements during the Orio War. He quickly moved up the Ranks from Second lieutenant to Captain. Allowing him to access to more of the expensive larger Mechs. At 2225 he lead a Fire team, equipped with the medium assault Mechs: MK1 wolverines. A Mech that carried long Range hard hitting weaponry.

2226-2231

Enyo was now promoted to Major and was transferred to a Special Unit. Specializing in operating fast Long range strikes and disappearing as if they were never there. Spending Days, Weeks, Months in the field until their mission is complete. The unit was known as The North's Reapers. The unit was highly effective at taking out heavier assault Mechs and stationary positions. Enyo lead a whole Squad of Mechs throughout the whole war, proving himself in several dozen combat missions. While normally this would mean a long prosperous career for him in the future, it was anything but. The special unit lost all Names, insignia, and mostly their lives. Every Pilot in the Unit was officially documented KIA, a Reaper doesn't die because he is already dead. This was due to the secrecy of the Unit and the operations they conducted were meant to look like ghosts in the wind. None of their mission success and failures were reported, giving most of the Northern Population the much needed hope during these dark times. Stories of Apparitions of fallen Hero's coming from the dead and removing the invaders from their lands. Nothing was further than the truth and only the highest of Rank knew about the Reaper's actual existence.

Each Piloted the Stealth-Strike unit: Mk2 Wraiths. A bastardized mix of technology from Hylo, Therux, and the North.

2232

With the end of the war, came the Reaper's career. Most were offered another life, completely set so they may live happily until the day they die. They were all already dead on records. Some of their family's had moved on, some of them had no family left. Most of the reapers left. Living out their lives comfortably. Some Ran. Taking their Mechs, in fear that the North was setting them up for death, to forever hide their precious secrets. Enyo was one of those men. Deserting and fleeing to the FreeLands, tearing out anything that would tack his movements with the help of some unaware engineers. With some persuasion with a highly powerful connection, he was integrated into the Outcast Guild. Stealing his Mech, One out of Twenty Eight in existence.


Tactical Preference & Skills:
Stealth and Tactical strikes. Hitting the enemy where they are the weakest from the shadows. Also he carries extensive knowledge in leading in stealth missions with multiple Mechs in his command. Due to his past missions of long deployments, he is extremely patient, a Hunter in a field of Doe.

Wraith

SAM-M5-Mk2 Wraith

Body & Type:
M2+ Medium Bipedal Mech

Power Source:
M2 Fusion Quad Core Generator

Weight:
45 Tons (with full armament)

Height:
20 Meters

Speed:
45 Kph Cruising

65 Kph Top speed

Equipment & Armaments :

Hand Slot 1:
SMR-40: The Silenced Marksmen Rifle is a custom weapon carried by all Wraiths. Its operation was made as simple as possible, making it extremely easy to repair and maintenance in the field. The Rifle fires off a 105mm Sub-Sonic Sabot round that is designed to 'silently' whizz through the air before penetrating enemy Mechs and turning their insides out. It carries a low magazine capacity of only 5 rounds and is quite heavy. It's targeting is linked to the view of the Pilot, allowing the Rifle to fire without the Mech needing to reveal itself from cover. The weapon has a accurate range on a Mech sized target at about 2 Kilometers.

Sub Weapon Slot:
Mounted .50 BMG Machine gun - A automatic weapon used to deal with Smaller vehicle or Infantry targets. The Wraith hold about 1000 Rounds in two different belts. The reloading is automatic, but takes about Twenty seconds. From close ranges, it has the ability to strip Mech's of already damaged armor or their Weapon systems.

Shoulder spot:
Diamond Catapulted-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided (COW) Missiles - Dual Square-rack missile pods holds four missiles at any given time. Each missile has a wire at the end which allows the Wraith's Pilot to guide the Missile and make a precision strike at about 1800 Meters. The Wraith can carry a total of 8 of these missiles before having to re-arm. Using a high speed Electromagnetic catapult, the missile does not make a loud noise when being launched and does not appear in Thermal imaging, due to not using fuel to propel the Missile to the target.

Gadget Slot:

OctoCamo- Is a smart camouflage that could, within moments of coming into contact with almost any surface, replicate both its pattern and texture. It applied thermal technology to regulate the temperature of the disguised subject to better blend with the surrounding environment and to evade thermal imaging. Multiple surfaces could be mimicked at the same time, and preset camouflage patterns stored for later use. It was inspired by the mimicking abilities of the octopus, hence its name. OctoCamo.

Advanced Radar Jamming System - This device allows the Wraith to become invisible to most Mk2 Enemy Mech's radars, additionally it cannot be locked making all locked weapons useless against it. Unless target painted or counter jammed, the Wraith is invisible to all but the Naked eye.

Stat Scale

Light/Heavy Body:

The Wraith is considered a Medium sized Mech. Being just large enough to carry formidable firepower and speed. While armor was not forgotten, it is only heavily plated in the front. This was not a problem due to the Operations the Wraiths were taking place in.

Numbered at: 4

Accuracy & Tracking/Firepower:
The Wraith was designed to attack from far ranges with precision, but also carry weapons for different situations. Stealth was it's true Weapon, but if needing to reveal itself, it would still be able to handle itself. The ranged weapons are hard hitting, but were limited in their fire rate and ammunition.

Numbered at: 4

Air Mobility/Thrusters:

The mobility is quite fast for its type of Mech, but it isn't very agile. Not able to make complicated movements that would require a user's advanced motor skills. Turning its top 'torso' a full 360 degrees compared to its legs is about how far it's agility goes. A special maneuver it can make is dropping its 'torso' to be almost ground level. Using this to conceal itself and use it's leg armor to provide cover.

Numbered at: 5

Solo/Skirmisher:

The Wraith was used at the squad level. Delivering hard hitting multiple strikes to take down enemies in as few shots as possible. Usually they would sync their shots, each waiting until they had the perfect shot to completely destroy a Enemy squad or Grounded weapon platforms. Appearing as if they had spontaneously exploding without a shot fired. A lone Wraith is not much support other than Long Range fire.

Numbered at: 4

History

The BJORN Mk5 Wraith Mech is a Mk2 Mech that was a complete custom design from inspiration of all three Waring nations. The Bjorn Corporation was a corporation that specialized Mech Weapon design. The North Offered a large sum of money to create a Mech that was made to handle the Harsh conditions of Snow storms and prolonged field Operations, Able to engage in long range strikes silently, and can operate as concealed as possible. Three different Corporation were offered the Weapon Deal. Bjorn, Jager, and Atlas. While each met the criteria in one form or another, the Bjorn's model was the most versatile so it was selected. Only 28 of these Mech were ever built and once having the rights to the Design, the North made sure to destroy any evidence of it ever being created. The Weapon systems are all created by the Bjorn Corporation and can be easily replaceable, while the technical drives of all modern Bjorn Weapons are already saved on the Wraith's system.

Done for the most part. I plan to fix all typos and stuff later, I had a extremely hard day at work so I'm half brain dead. All the hard info is there.

[Dolerman]

@Thecrash20 yeah it looks fine, feel free to make the edits in the character tab.

@Duoya@Pathfinder@Skepic@snake153@Liotrent@Feyblue@vietmyke

and we are off! 1st post is up, there is no strict posting order, but I'll be keeping everyone aware of major plot points, missions are pretty much first come first serve, dont worry if you dont want to join any right away, I'll be updatting the board regularly, oh and you all start with 15000 credits, good luck!

[Pathfinder]

Not my best intro, but it got the job done.

[Feyblue]

Posted. Although I didn't say in the post, Aster is taking the convoy recovery mission as well.

[vietmyke]

Jesus, I guess everyone and their mother is taking that mission... I hope the bad guys have enough hardware to keep us entertained.

Just to reiterate, myself and @Liotrent plan on taking the convoy mission as well

[vietmyke]

Also @Pathfinder, my inner weapons/numbers nut coming out to play, but judging by the picture of the bannerlord, I think your gun is more in line with a +105mm cannon instead of a 60mm cannon.

Not too certain, as I don't know of many ~60mm cannons- except maybe some WWII tank guns- most 60mm shells tend to fall in the line of mortar style weapons as opposed to cannons, which tend to fall into either less than 40mm (rapid firing autocannons) or more than 100mm (heavy tank cannons)

-shit, sorry for doublepost-

[Pathfinder]

@vietmyke
I know next to nothing about guns so your inner gun nut is most appreciated. Anything gun related I say is shot in the dark while getting pepper sprayed.

[Liotrent]

@Pathfinder @Vietmyke

I actually thought that was due to perspective and art style, taking another look it does look more in line with some big AT guns from WW2 reminds me of the Firefly or probably closer to the Jagtiger.

[Pathfinder]

Quick Refereance // Bannarlord

Looking at the size of the guy on the furthest cannon in relation to it, all I can say is that this is a Big Gun.

[vietmyke]

Most of the mechs I (try to) compare to real life counterparts- giving room for advancements because they're mechs with super generators.

The Bulwark is actually a pretty easy comparison for me, as I looked at it and thought to myself "That's an Abrams Tank." Which means thick armor and a big ole 120mm cannon. Though honestly, the scale on that picture is ridiculous, as the cannon's bore looks to be about the size of a man's torso.

[Pathfinder]

@vietmyke
Rifts isn't really known for realism, I'd say the cannons were energy based but I can't really tell if the grooves inside the barrel are meant for rifling. Or whatever the jargon for the spiral grooves are.

[vietmyke]

Rifling, Lands and Grooves, same thing really. However, a lot of modern day tank cannons are smoothbore now. The point of rifling is to stabilize the projectile in the air by making it spin (sort of like how a football spirals to stay straight). Modern day tank rounds have fin stabilizers so they don't need the rifling.

[Liotrent]

It actually looks smoothbore to me, but the size, it's like... Huge... Now that... Is a BIG gun

[Pathfinder]

@vietmyke
Ya know what, I think I'm going to change the cannons into lasers because I can flub laser weapons and it just seems like that's what the source was going for. I'm going to change the Bulwark from a general purpose fire support into more of a specialized sniper/anti armor role. Like a anti-material rifle but with energy beams.

EDIT: Plus I don't see a place to store torso sized shells/rounds.

[vietmyke]

Laser Tank? Oh boy bring me back to my Command and Conquer days. Laser Crusader spam anyone? No? Just me? Maybe my dad?

[Thecrash20]

@vietmyke

I know stuff here a there too about weaponry, so I gave my Mech a Abram's gun cal, but felt it that was wayyyyyy too old of a size/ wouldn't even be effective cause technology would have to had improve something about it. So I bullshitted it up and said it fires a Sabot round sub sonic.

[Liotrent]

@Vietmyke

Oh please, take me back to the good days of generals, GIVE ME THE LASER GENERAL! Or perhaps Red Alert, they had so much crazy tech, and tiberium wars 3 was just so good.
