Pilot
Name: Holly Pritchard
Appearance: A woman in her late thirties, with mid length, graying brown hair, often tied into a neat bun behind her head. In place of her right eye, there is a smooth metal patch with a series of gold electrical contacts on it. Her right arm is synthetic from just above the elbow, though in her combat jacket it’s usually mostly hidden.
She dresses in a gray pilot’s jumpsuit and harness, with the navy blue jacket of her old military regiment. The jacket is fastened with an offset zipper, usually partially undone with the front folded down. Her shoulder has a patch with a chess’s knight on it, under the number “205.”
Weapons:
~A short barrelled bullpup SMG that she can hold in one hand.
~The Bitch, a bastard sword, jokingly named. It’s collapsible and sits on the small of her back when not in use.
~A thermite gel launcher. It lobs fist sized globs of sticky, burning gel. It burns intensely enough to dig into armor plates.
Gear: Eye of Odin. Her helmet has a direct link to her optic nerve through her missing right eye. At its simplest, she can see with regular binocular vision when wearing her helmet. She can also switch the feed between any other cameras she networks herself with(including Cavelier’s visual processor).
Background: Holly and Recluse(originally designated CV-322) were paired together in military service with Orion’s Two Hundred and Fifth Mechanized Cavalry. She served during a bloody, planet-wide civil war that, last she heard, has not ended to this day. Holly was a young hotshot at the time, and ruined her military career in a moment of cockiness. Her squad was taking control of a lightly armed farm that was in enemy hands, Holly decided she could manage the fight on foot, with CV-322 standing by behind. A surprise improvised grenade was thrown(or launched, it was never clear) from the nearby barn, igniting in mid air a few feet to her right. CV-322 rushed in to scoop its incapacitated pilot into the cockpit, and in an uncharacteristic display of nearly human anger, leveled the barn.
Holly’s helmet and armor saved her life, but she lost an arm, an eye, and has had a long road to recover from brain damage. She was set to be decommissioned, and her titan reassigned. She stole it(and for its part, CV-322 didn’t make much effort to avoid being stolen), and took a smuggler’s ship from the planet. She’d already lost her arm, half her eyesight and her job, she couldn’t stand to lose her partner too.
Holly and Recluse(as her mecha has come to be known) have been doing mercenary work on out of the way worlds ever since.
Name: Recluse
Appearance:
Class: Medium
Armament:
~Kr-133 Focused Plasma Rifle. Fires bolts of plasma at 900 rounds per minute. The plasma cartridge carries 35 bolts worth of compressed plasma matter.
~Tor Industries Arc Cannon Mk-IV. A shoulder mounted heavy gun that fires a relatively slow moving orb, which arcs high voltage electricity off of it.
Utility: The Web. A line launcher that embeds heavy duty conductive lines into its targets. The lines can remain attached to Recluse, or be anchored to another object or surface. Recluse’s arc cannon, or any other electric weapon, can conduct along these lines to electrocute whatever is attached to either end.
Last Stand: Venomous Bite. Recluse launches one of their lines, with a direct link to their own power source. They empty their capacitors into the conductive line, causing massive electrical damage. If launched into a network of Webs, this charge can be spread to multiple targets, or an area of effect.
This leaves Recluse stunned for about three seconds, and slowed for another ten while their capacitors recharge.
