PILOT
Age: 32

Weight: 106 Kg
Background: Freedom Fighter turned Drifter
Bio: Gunther is a descendant of German immigrants. His parents split up before he was born, his mother had him on her own. The kid grew up in a quite hostile environment and got indoctrinated by the White Arm propaganda that he heard. The White Arm is a semi-terrorist organization that pushed the Seaboard Frontier back from the west. Gunther grew up in the middle of war plagued camps and on edge outposts. Both his mother and father were freedom fighters just as he. He learned to pilot at a young age, their armor was easy to use, so he didn't have to much difficulty with using the machine. The constant hostile environment kept the young man on edge and he didn't have problems with resorting to violence to get things done.
After a while piloting and fighting the White Arm ambushed a cargo convoy which yielded them the Anguish T3. This certainly was an update of the T2 which they had previously used. Gunther was giving one of the machines and his company had several minor successes. Aging, the grown man had seen most things at age 27. The White Arm propaganda became annoying and after a couple of defeats their morale was also in the drain. People who deserted got hunting parties sent after them and were killed. While heading one of these deserter hunting groups Gunther felt the strange desire to also make a run for it. The man convinced the hunting party that what they were doing was wrong and they joined up with some of the deserter groups. The group established a council of three, their general lead structure, and Gunther was appointed head of logistics, which meant find raiding targets and get there to do the dirty business. The warband made their way through the wasteland using parasitic tactics to stay alive.
Several years later Gunther led such a team into an outpost to take their supplies. The marauders encountered some resistance from the defense forces and to make matters worse the White Arm also showed up. Gunther made a deal with the defense forces and the two groups aided each other in fighting off the White Arm. In which they succeeded. Unbeknownst to Gunther the deal he made was one with his father, who was the leader of the outpost. The two man conversed, Gunther got some supplies and the warband left again. Gunther eventually got a message from the outpost leader, saying that he could die satisfied after seeing what kind of man his son had become. This ticked off the head of logistics and he left on his own with a good amount of supplies.

Weight Class: 3
Weapons Descriptions: Submachine gun and 10 frag grenades
Additional Notes: Anguish T3 is a mass production easy to use, hard to master armor. It's light armor and low impact mean soldiers had to think and be on their feet at all times. The wasp utilizes an Ethus inject submachine gun. It’s pretty low impact and doesn’t deal that much damage. Wasps were designed to operate in packs of ten to twenty units and employ hit and run tactics. The pilots were trained to aim for weak spots in enemy armor and use their grenades as a distraction method as well as to break lines and confuse. Wasps are fast and agile, due to their speed they’re hard to hit. The wasps are fully flight capable, although this drains a lot of energy, using the flight engines to jump or to dash is a far more common tactic. Using the dashing and utilizing their speed wasps catch enemy armor in the back and make their way out as soon as enemies have set up a counter attack.
Past Encounter: Squads of wasps were used to harass Seaboard Frontier outpost and plunder their way further inland. Groups of these freedom fighters were out to gain more territory and had several victories before ultimately been defeated in an ambush. Wasps should ring a bell with the Seaboard Frontier.
