Hi. Haven't been on here in a long while but didn't really see anything that I'm used to RPing in...till I saw this anyway ^_^
I just started reading the OOC's here but is there any room to join here?

@DarkRecon: I think so, but I would be able to answer that question more easily if everyone who's been accepted put their bios in the characters tab. ^^;

You have no idea how many hoops I had to jump through to get these images on a computer other than my personal one aND IT DIDN'T EVEN TURN OUT WELL.
So I took a much less technical approach this time and I think that the CS suffered for it, but I hope it's better now, somehow. Thanks for reading.
Armaments:
- Golden Light of God, Plasma Grip (Prototype No. 2)
A set of special parts in the right arm that allow for several functions utilizing plasma. Both hands of the Armor are able to release plasma, but the right arm is able to produce much more energy than the left. It's also able to create three blades of plasma from the blue lines on the back of its hand, and the blue box behind them serves as a nail to drive through the palm into a target, housing within it a directed EMP generator. The golden portion of the arm is the housing space for energy canisters, each of which can fire a powerful blast of plasma via the Plasma Grip up to fifteen meters away. The arm can hold seven (7) canisters before needing to be reloaded, and use of the arm without a canister will drain energy from the Matsuzawa Drive faster than it can produce it.
- Gomorrah Wings Pack (Prototype No. 8)
A backpack armament that houses plasma-based thrusters and fifty (50) energy canisters for the Plasma Grip, as well as six missile launchers. Each row holds a different type of payload, the first being medium-sized EMP missiles, the middle being a barrage of small heat-seeking explosive missiles, and the bottom being chaff to allow for an easier escape.
- Spiral Saber (Combat-Ready Model)
A standard high-vibration edged sword with the special functions of A) disconnecting the blade to be used as a ranged weapon, and B) forming a plasma blade along the center or in place of a disconnected main blade.
- Brimstone X-12 Gatling (Prototype No. 14)
A massive Gatling that fires traditional rounds as well as plasma blasts. The plasma blasts take a moment to charge and fire one at a time, unlike the normal rounds that fire as a traditional Gatling.
Specifications:
OS:
The "Seat of God" Operating System. This OS contains advanced AI that, unfortunately for all involved, is the only workable OS for the Armor. This OS is a bit of a "black box," in that nobody can figure out exactly how it works since a good third of it was written by the AI that it houses. Removing even single lines from its code would brick it when its programmers tried to contain, erase, or overpower the AI. Said AI calls itself "Adam," and though it takes on a feminine voice when speaking, it considers itself to not have a gender due to its status as an AI.
Unit:
The Red Power Unit stands at 18 meters tall and is a speed-based Armor designed for one-on-group fighting and run-and-gun tactics, which the OS installed in it tends to fight against the idea of using. It is, as one can tell by looking at it, not an Armor built for stealth. It has many powerful sensors of various kinds all over it, allowing for very fast reactions by the pilot due to the predictive data analysis. The cockpit is built to be a gyroscope with reduced gravity, allowing the pilot to survive the extreme speeds and maneuvers that the unit can reach in flight.
So I took a much less technical approach this time and I think that the CS suffered for it, but I hope it's better now, somehow. Thanks for reading.
Pilot:
Name:
Stel Nexx
Callsign:
Fallen Angel
Age:
19
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Stel Nexx stands at five foot seven inches, with black hair that is dyed red in places. She is nearsighted and needs glasses, so she tends to wear contacts, specifically ones that change her normally hazel eyes to grey. She is in amazing shape for a non-athlete and is quite strong physically as well. She tends to wear casual clothes if she can.
Personality:
A carefree girl with a live and let live attitude, Stel is only ever serious when she's angry, out of money, or during a battle between Armors. She tends to make jokes often, if not very good ones, and her reliance on music to keep her concentration outside of her mech makes it hard to get a real grasp on her abilities as a whole. Growing up mostly in a mechanic hangar, she finds talking to Mobile Armors much easier than conversing with other people, which she tends to avoid doing if she can. She's also spent much of her life fluctuating between wealthy and poor, causing her to develop a tight grip on her money.
Stel has a bad habit of over-analyzing things that don't matter and not paying enough attention to things that do, with the exception of finances. Despite this, she lets go of grudges easily and tries not to form them in the first place. She almost always has headphones on, as a life of listening to music to concentrate has made her dependent on it. She mostly prefers the rock music her home is known for, but she likes most genres from Earth, with a distaste for those developed outside of it as being, ironically, "too spacey."
Skills:
- Mechanic work: She is capable of both repairing and building many types of machinery if given the tools and materials necessary. She isn't as good as the Plutonian mechanics, but she's always improving.
- Computer work: She is able to both write and edit in several of the modern and quite a few extinct programming languages, including the unique language that the Angel Unit OS uses. (Unfortunately, the new generation of prototypes do not use this OS.)
- Basic combat: She is in very good shape and knows how to throw a punch. She's also decent with a firearm, though they somewhat scare her.
- Art: She is able to draw very well, including but not limited to designs for new machines or improvements to them as diagrams and blueprints. She prefers drawing living creatures, however.
- Language: She knows the most common language of each planet from Sol, not counting the shared common language of all of them, which she knows as well.
Flaws:
- Inexperience piloting most Armors: Due to her upbringing she has had very little exposure to piloting actual Armors other than Angel Units, so her training is lacking for other mechs. Combined with the fact that her Augmented Armor is one of a kind and she's had little practice with it other than walking it around on Pluto's surface, she is usually overwhelmed by Red Power.
- Fear of deep water: She gets scared when she can't see the bottom of a body of water. While the potential creatures that live there fascinate her, the thought of meeting one in person terrifies her.
- Slight OCD: She has a need for order and symmetry in all things, and dislikes (though will tolerate) physical contact with another person. You will find her belongings organized specifically and with preference towards the left direction or equality in each direction if you pay close attention.
- Terrible at history: She knows very little of history both of her own planet and the others. She also has a hard time grasping important dates or even the general order of events before her lifetime. This bleeds over into her everyday life by making her forget upcoming events very easily as well.
- She hates formality with a passion and will likely get in trouble by not properly addressing people. This combines with a dislike of authority for a potentially disastrous mix.
Brief History:
Stel is the heiress apparent to a rather unique set of circumstances. Her mother, Eve Nexx, is a Augmented Armor designer and mechanic working for the UEC out of Pluto. Stel's father, Nyx Bronson, is veteran pilot who took part in the Universal War only as a member of the reserve forces left behind to defend the Sol system, and saw little to no actual combat during the war. While still technically part of the service, he is not on active duty now that the war has ended, and has married and begun working with his now wife Eve. Eve has spent most of her life working for a small Mobile Armor production outfit before being given an opportunity to work directly for the UEC 28 years ago, a year before the Outer Colonies were given their independence. During the time of the Universal War, she was therefor among the "front lines" of weapon design. It was during this time that she met her future business partners, a group of three other engineers who helped develop groundbreaking, if not strictly useful technology for use in Mobile Armors. With little of the war reaching Sol, they built faux-civilian Armors, mostly for the purposes of busting/mining asteroids. Their design principles became synonymous with "Pluto Mobile Armors," and they dubbed their creations "Angel Units."
Nineteen years ago, Eve, with help from her future husband Nyx, gave birth to a daughter whom they named "Stel." As Stel grew, she was taught engineering and mechanics by her mother and not much at all by her father, who was still actively "defending" the Sol system. When the first Augmented Armors were officially deployed, the four great engineers of Pluto began shifting their work towards creating them instead. Each of the four developed unique spins on the Angel Unit, known as the "Archangels." Each Archangel Unit was suited to a particular task, such as reconnaissance or sniping, and was a great leap forwards from the now almost outdated Angel Units. The first four Archangels were created by a sole designer each from the group of four; Eve's was christened "Samael," and was built for the purpose of transmitting messages from long distances. Samael was the fastest of the four Archangel Units, and had the best comms system, allowing it to fit a courier role among the planets of Sol and the nearest other solar systems. It was thanks to these four Archangel Prototypes that their makers were able to procure the funds to found a business, contracted to the UEC, and to produce the second generation of Archangels in which the four worked together to design and build them. This was 2366, and Stel had grown into a precocious mechanic. Her father had returned immediately upon the ceasefire being declared, and began helping his now wife as a test pilot.
Stel was taught the basics of Mobile Armor piloting by her father, and became rather proficient with Angel Unit operation, as well as their maintenance. But the contract with the UEC could only go so far, and the funds that had been amassed could only be stretched so thin. After the creation of the first three "real" Archangel Units, the only way the fourth could be made was to make it into a war machine, rather than a support unit. While "Uriel" was a defensive Augmented Armor, it was the most battle-ready of the three. "Gabriel" was meant for undersea work, and "Raphael" was suited for space exploration. However, the fourth Archangel has yet to be born into creation. Instead, the prototype for it has reached its seventh iteration.
The "Red Power" has only just entered the final testing phase recently. And unfortunately for Eve, the temperamental experimental OS, the only version that would actually run on the damn thing, rejected every would-be pilot that applied. Except of course, for her own daughter, Stel. After a few dozen highly heated arguments, Stel was allowed to travel with Red Power to Bifrost, where it would be given a real test. But money is tight, and the UEC doesn't want any possible connection to the Pluto engineers being made public, so Stel is on her own with a Augmented Armor that literally talks back to her in battle, a lack of funds, and a mission to personally work out the kinks of the machine and its combat abilities in real time. The only problem is that she's only spent a few hours in the Red Power, and while its controls seem to come almost naturally to her, the large difference between it and the standard Mobile Armors she has experience with presents a problem.

@Silverwind Blade: okay sorry for the delay, I think this is acceptable now.
No problems at all; thanks for letting me know and glad that it's okay!
Also, sorry for my overly long reply previously ^^;;

Ok then...I have this character but man I think this is darker than my own screen name. It's still a WIP and I don't even have the mech part yet but I figured I show you this character so far just to see if I went too far or it just sucks -_-'. Sorry if the format is bad too but like I said, WIP.
Name: "Angela" (Doesn't remember her real full name.)
Callsign: Alien Angel
Age: 21 (?)
Gender: Female
Appearance: A rather beautiful but at the same time, haunting body standing 5'10" with an unknown weight though looks slight toned in muscle. No longer looking even human, she now looks like an "alien" of sorts with a combination of white and pink skin with wild pink hair but normal blue human eyes (think Final Fantasy 6 Terra Brandford in her Trance/Morph form though minus the claws on her hands and feet). Not many have seen her like this due to the fact that she constantly wears either a full body suit or a AUG suit, both with helmit.
Personality: Rather Stoic at times. Usually talks in a monotone voice helped by the pilot helmit she wears most of the time. While she talks to whoever is employing her for a job and asks questions, those are the only real times you can get a "read" on her.
Outside of that, she tends to be distant and aloof unless she has to follow some "order" from her employer or anyone within the EINHERJAR heirachy. Due to trama from her past, she tends to keep her distance from others. Even more so towards anyone wearing "lab coats" or anything similar looking.
But it's said that there ARE possibly one or more individuals she does talk to normally but in private.
Skills:
AUG Pilot/Foot Soldier - Put basically, Angela not only knows how to pilot AUG's but also know a combination of hand-to-hand combat, knife fighting and gunplay or CQC. Even outside of a AUG, Angela knows how to defend herself.
Mechanic - Because of her distant nature, Angela also knows her way around basic maintenance of just about any AUG or at least ones she's studied long enough since she doesn't trust anyone else with her own AUG. One of her earliest of odd jobs with EINHERJAR was helping other merc's AUG's upkeeping from time to time.
Minor Healing Factor - Perhaps her most mysterious skill, Angela's body seems to recover from injuries quicker than your average human. Though enough damage or critical wounds to either the head or her heart could kill her or so she was told from her past...
Brief History: Angela herself wished she knew why things happened when it did. What was she doing? When did things just become...complicated? Who was she? Why did she do what she was told?
To this day, Angela's questions just continued.
For as far back as she could remember, most of her time was spent inside a human sized tube of water. Constantly being watched by people in white lab coats. Then, when she was let out of said tubes to do physical activites and other forms of exercise that included training in combat and piloting AUG's. But then...the needles. The experiments...but she took it. She didn't mind because she, put simply, wasn't "self aware" at the time. Pain quickly went away for her. There were a few others like her too it seemed but she couldn't even remember names nor if they even looked normal or...something else.
Then, she remembered how paniked the people were one day...they said something about an army advancing. That they were out of time...that they needed to deploy the experiments.
That's when her and three others were immedately told one thing: defend the LTS army. Kill anyone that were "marked as UEC". Immedately dressed in a pilot uniform and given a custom Mobile Armor, her squad were then deployed into the war front.
That's when things were becoming clearer. She was one of a few "test pilots" supporting the LTS war effort. Though even in the water tank, she did remember hearing one scientist say that the LTS themselves were not aware of said lab. That they were to simply delpoy "quietly" and just assist when ordered. To never show your face or remove any part of your uniform to anyone. To only go by her callsign...Alien Angel.
Thus how it went when the war raged. Here and there, Angela just fought when and where she was told. Never question her own orders. Just fight...survive...destory...live.
Then...the day she changed...the day she was deployed to Bifrost...the sheer scale of the battle trigger something in her...at the time, she couldn't tell what but that was her first experience with an emotion.
Horror...seeing people's bodies outside of a mech...then nothing as a stray shot knocked down her Mobile Armor...darkness...then remembering someone opening her damaged cockpit...seeing a "child"...no a soldier...pilot.
That was when she first met a UEC pilot callsign "DJ" but said to simply call him "Jake". A survivor of the Bifrost battle and formerly a "Recon" operative, he was merely looking for survivors in the aftermath of that battle but also had a given assignment at the time. He knew about the "lab" Angela came from and knew about her "appearance"...that her squad was gone, possibly all dead...but so where both armies.
One thing led to another and Angela followed the former UEC pilot Jake for whatever days she had left since even he had enough of the war. Things were clearer but not crystal thanks to Jake. She was experimented on to be something called an "Esper" but turned into something different. Jake only heard rumors but started finding pieces of evidence about the lab but then too late that he realized the LTS weren't even aware of it's presence.
"But that's what war does Angela...it brings out the worst in people", Jake had said.
After some time, Angela finally pulled herself together to SOME extent that she agreed to do work for the EINHERJAR with Jake being her "handler" as to avoid physical presence. Now she had a new "order" or perhaps a "personal" one.
He own identity. Who was she? Was she anyone specific or just a thing raised in a tube?

Then...the day she changed...the day she was deployed to Bifrost...the sheer scale of the battle trigger something in her...at the time, she couldn't tell what but that was her first experience with an emotion.
Horror...seeing people's bodies outside of a mech...then nothing as a stray shot knocked down her Mobile Armor...darkness...then remembering someone opening her damaged cockpit...seeing a "child"...no a soldier...pilot.
That was when she first met a UEC pilot callsign "DJ" but said to simply call him "Jake". A survivor of the Bifrost battle and formerly a "Recon" operative, he was merely looking for survivors in the aftermath of that battle but also had a given assignment at the time. He knew about the "lab" Angela came from and knew about her "appearance"...that her squad was gone, possibly all dead...but so where both armies.
One thing led to another and Angela followed the former UEC pilot Jake for whatever days she had left since even he had enough of the war. Things were clearer but not crystal thanks to Jake. She was experimented on to be something called an "Esper" but turned into something different. Jake only heard rumors but started finding pieces of evidence about the lab but then too late that he realized the LTS weren't even aware of it's presence.
"But that's what war does Angela...it brings out the worst in people", Jake had said.
After some time, Angela finally pulled herself together to SOME extent that she agreed to do work for the EINHERJAR with Jake being her "handler" as to avoid physical presence. Now she had a new "order" or perhaps a "personal" one.
He own identity. Who was she? Was she anyone specific or just a thing raised in a tube?

Name:
Silas Citner
Callsign:
Script
Age:
17
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Silas is scrawny and slightly tall, standing at around 5' 11" and weighing around 130 lbs. His build is somewhat lithe, and he tends to slouch his shoulders from a lifetime of bad posture and cramming himself into the small habitation module of his AUG to hide away and code.
Personality:
Silas has practically grown up in EINHERJAR, and it definitely shows in his personality. Being on the younger end and relatively new to mercenary business, Silas is used to interacting with mercenaries much older than himself constantly. He knows how to push the buttons of his "elders" without taking it too far, often falling into playful banter with those capable of taking a joke. With those less interested in wisecracking, Silas probes for stories and tips on a mercenary's lifestyle. Anyone stuck with Silas for more than a few minutes can see the immature arrogance of a child who has never truly had his life on the line. He is a little brash and headstrong, perceiving himself as a genius and invincible in a way teenagers only can. Despite his young age and reckless demeanor, Silas has a strong aversion to sex, drugs, and liquor: most likely a desire to remain fully aware and in control as much as he can. Silas hates surprises.
That isn't to say Silas is dumb by any stretch of the imagination. He is, in some ways, every bit of a genius as he believes himself to be. He's capable of making split second calculations in his head faster than anyone else could type them in a calculator. In his simulations, he's found that he prefers to fill in more of a support role for a squad. He works best when he can see the full picture of what's going on. He knows the limits of his AUG from a technical standpoint like the back of his hand, given he has practically lived in the shadow of it his entire life. However, he doesn't quite know what to do with his skills and genius. Given he's spent most of his life at EINHERJAR HQ, he hasn't really thought of doing anything other than fight alongside the people he's grown up around. However, it's unclear how Silas will react to the actual dangers of live combat.
Silas is somewhat politically agnostic... or, more accurately, doesn't understand or care for the political climate revolving around the LTS and the UEC. As far as he's concerned, both were responsible for the death of his father. The only trust he has he places in those around him, and who have his back if shit goes down. EINHERJAR is as close to a family as Silas has left, as far as he's concerned.

Skills:
- Software Technician Prodigy: One of the resident AUG OS technicians within EINHERJAR, Silas grew up helping his mother code and reprogram various AUGs over the years. Silas knows how these systems work better than he knows his own body. He spends a lot of time building in new security patches and small optimizations for his AUG and his fellow teammates, trying to remove any latency or responsiveness issues that result from software bugs. He has a more limited understanding of electrical engineering by association, and can aid with rewiring and fixing electrical issues when AUGs get damaged.
- Martial Arts training: Having spent most of his life in some way attached to EINHERJAR following the end of the war, Silas took a particular interest in CQB training that emphasizes quick movements and using an opponent's weight and movement against them.
- Sidearm Training: Another byproduct of a life spent loosely associated with a mercenary company, Silas is often dragged to a firing range several times a week in the past couple years to train with a standard issue kinetic sidearm. He isn't a particularly great shot, but he is passable.
- Electronic Musician: The only passion and joy Silas has outside of his newfound responsibility as a mercenary in EINHERJAR, Silas enjoys developing electronic music and beats on the side for his own enjoyment. He has installed some music equipment into his AUG to pass the time on longer deployments, and to flood enemy comms with "beautiful music" before they meet a timely end.
Brief History:
Silas was born into a war he never really got to see or understand. One that his parents, the founders of Endo-Citner Industries, chose to fight in a factory rather than on the front lines. Yerezan IV was roughly along the border of UEC and LTS space, but was relatively shielded from anything more than the briefest of incursions. Silas doesn't remember much of his time in those days, often nestled in a cradle in between racks of servers as his mother was busy building a new operating system from scratch. As Silas grew older, and production truly began on the few AUGs Endo-Citner produced, Silas spent his days being chased around hunks of decommissioned Mobile Armors by whatever foreman was working that day. Silas doesn't remember much of his father, the late and great Thomas Citner. He vaguely remembers his big mustache that he used to twirl the end of nervously when he was busy designing. The last memory he had of his father was when a rescue team was scraping what was left of his shredded corpse from an AUG near the end of the war, after the UEC had finally set its sights on Yerezan IV in one last desperate push into LTS space.
In the final month of the war, Yerezan IV was a pretty easy target. The planet was mostly agrarian, other than the single small Endo-Citner factory that employed a couple dozen engineers. It's no surprise, then, that the UEC didn't even bother to deploy any AUGs when they came for the factory. Worried for his family's safety, Thomas Citner hopped into one of the only two AUGs ready for deployment, the E-404-N2 HAMMER. A slightly faster and more melee-oriented cousin of the E-404-N1 JAMMER, the HAMMER was perhaps the less suitable of the two... unfortunately, the HAMMER was the only one fueled and scheduled for a test flight that day. Thomas Citner went toe to toe with a small battalion of Mobile Armors, doing his best to fend off the enemy until LTS reinforcements could arrive. For a civilian, Thomas Citner fought bravely and valiantly. Unfortunately, shell after shell from the mobile armors inevitably wore him down and tore the man to shreds. He had bought his family, and their factory, time. Time that the LTS used to quickly swoop in and push back the UEC.
In the aftermath, Silas and his mother were somewhat adrift. With the war over, Yuri Endo had lost everything chasing the dreams of freedom and independence with her late husband. The business officially went under once the war ended, the last remaining AUG being the E-404-N1 "Jammer" that was never picked up or paid off by the LTS. The factory began to fall into disrepair as Yuri let all the staff go, and the two remained rather isolated in these days. Within a year of the end of the war, Yuri and Silas had made contact with EINHERJAR, where Yuri offered the mercenary company her services as a software technician and electrical engineer. The two disembarked with the only AUG they had left, and made for Bifrost.
Silas has since grown up in EINHERJAR, exclusively sticking to the base. Yuri was somewhat well known in the company, having developed security patches and improvements to the OS software of various AUGs in the company. Silas often stuck to his mother's side, proving himself to be similarly adept as an apprentice software technician as he grew older. He loved hearing the stories of the various mercenaries he saw pass through, and was always glad when one of them took the time to take him out shooting, exercising, or repairing their AUGs. During his down time, Silas scrounged up some old sound-boards and mixers that he hooked up to the JAMMER to make his own little electronic music recording booth. As Silas grew older, he began working on a project of his own: an AUG simulation program. Given his mother's protestations of him ever piloting the JAMMER until he was at least 18, Silas developed his own custom simulation program he could install in the JAMMER when he was 15 so he could start getting training in. He would tune his simulation to match some of the stories he heard from his fellow mercenaries, trying to live out some of their history as if he was there fighting alongside them or in their place.
Yuri Endo passed away within the last few months due to medical complications. Silas Citner, now age 17, has chosen to make his own way forward as the pilot of the JAMMER.

AUG Name:
EC-404-N1 "JAMMER"
AUG Appearance:
JAMMER's outward appearance betrays the sheer complexity and poor design philosophy of Endo-Citner Industries' E-404 line of AUGs. It is large and bulky, standing around 23 meters with it's back-mounted sensor array package. While any insignias or markings correlating the AUG to its initial service deployment with the LTS, JAMMER's militaristic and forest-camo color pattern are indicative that it was meant for military service... though its mostly pristine condition indicates it has rarely seen combat.
Armaments:
- Variable-Munition "AUG-Buster" Rifle: Yet another "brilliant" design choice by the team at the short-lived Endo-Citner Industries, the Aug-Buster Rifle was designed to fire two different calibers of standard ballistic ammunition: a bottom loaded 100mm armor-piercing shell for close-range engagements, and a magazine-fed 50mm incendiary-round that can be optimally fired semi-automatic or burst fire in medium to medium-long range engagements.
- 30mm autocannon: A shoulder-Mounted anti-personnel automatic machine gun, can be manually operated by pilot or an additional passenger in emergency situations. When JAMMER is fully operational, it can be simultaneously fired along with other weapon systems to provide additional medium-close range firing support.
- Electro-Magnetic Smoke and Standard Flares: Perhaps one of the only truly positive innovations of Endo-Citner Industries was a proprietary "smart-smoke" technology designed as both a defensive counter-measure and an offensive tool in close-combat situations. The electro-magnetic smoke disrupts nearby AUG or Mobile Armor sensor suites and targeting systems (including, to a lesser extent, JAMMER's), while also obscuring anything caught in the cloud from typical thermal or magnetic imaging. In addition to these systems, JAMMER also hosts traditional flares to disrupt targeted missile systems.
- Electro-Magnetic Pulse AA: Staying in theme with JAMMER's emphasis on electronic interference, JAMMER boasts the ability to fire long to mid-range Anti-Air EMP rounds from small shoulder-mounted missile arrays. These EMP rounds are designed with a large radius, allowing for skilled deployment of this more traditionally anti-air weapon to disrupt the systems of ground-based Mobile Armors or AUGs. The downside to these munitions is the indiscriminate nature, rendering them useless at anything other than long-range deployment without careful planning.
Other Systems:
- Endo-Citner Advanced Communications Array: A strange addition to what one might consider a standard "tanky" AUG, the ECACA is a strong sensor suite (Long-Range Thermal and Magnetic Imaging) with complex RADAR and long-range radio and electronic communication technology. The ECACA is capable of quickly detecting and, with pilot help, decrypting enemy radio transmissions to a shocking extent. While less helpful near more populated urban environments due to "ambient electronic noise," a surprising amount of JAMMER's energy and Script's attention goes to keeping the ECACA operational and finely tuned. After all, patching into enemy communications poses a significant tactical advantage... as would "flooding" enemy airwaves with Script's latest tracks.
- Emergency Habitation Module: A strange addition to JAMMER, the Emergency Habitation Module is a versatile bulky unit that forms the "backpack" of JAMMER. The emergency Habitation Module is multi-purpose: It helps store externally extra fuel, food, scrap, and munitions. The bottom portion of the Emergency Habitation Module stores additional fuel cells which help power systems like the ECACA. The middle and top of the Emergency Habitation module are connected through a pressurized door and a ladder to the cockpit. In the event of an emergency or complete system failure, it allows for an alternate means by which to exit the AUG. However, it serves some additional purposes. It has built in jump-seats to carry up to three passengers comfortably. It stores some personal items, spare equipment, Script's personal weapons, a space suit, and a hammock. The Emergency Habitation Module is also capable of serving as an emergency airlock.
- Thrusters: Not particularly powerful or special, but JAMMER does boast the placement of arm and leg mounted thrusters to aid in zero/low gravity maneuverability. These can be used in small bursts in traditional gravity environments to assist in small bursts of speed, though these are severely limited by the incredible bulk of the EC-404-N1. They are not mounted in such a way (and are not nearly strong enough) to provide any semblance of flight, though can help provide a "boosted jump" to aid in the traversal of uneven terrain.
Specifications:
The EC-404-N1 "JAMMER" was one of the final nails in the coffin of Endo-Citner Industries. The husband and wife "super-team" of Yuri Endo and Thomas Citner, who were noted developers of AUG OS software and multi-purpose Mobile Armor units respectively, were believed to be geniuses capable of bringing a swift end to the War by developing powerful and versatile new AUGs to LTS. Of course, what they actually made were the EC-404 line. JAMMER is perhaps the best indication of a confused design philosophy: It boasted the impressive sensor and communication suite of a scouter-AUG or mobile armor, the long-range AA of an artillery AUG or mobile armor, the anti-personnel cannon of a mobile armor, thrusters meant for a much smaller AUG to manuever with great speed... to put it simply, JAMMER feels like a kitchen-sink AUG that lacks the ability to function on its own effectively. It is bulky, heavily armored, slow, and full of weirdly specific armaments and systems that guaranteed it never saw actual deployment in the war.

@The World: Okay, while you think your bio suffered for it I think it's way more approachable and understandable now. Accepted.
@DarkRecon: Before I even get into anything in the bio, I need to know the details of the project she apparently comes from. Kind of have to run that by me, even if it's just in PMs.
@webboysurf: This is looking good so far.

For your perusal, let me know if anything needs fixing! The Chevalier is basically my take on an apache attack helicopter, but AUG
Name: Sara Lin
Callsign: Rabbit
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Standing in a 5'5" with a slim build. Despite her size, she is rather lithe and its clear she keeps in shape.
Personality:
Energetic and amicable, Sara is in general fairly fairly easygoing and playful, with a calm and clear speaking voice. Rather perceptive, Sara has an eye for detail and can be surprisingly insightful, despite lacking military training. Sara's demeanor is generally confident, though not as cocky as one would expect from stick jockeys. Cool and calm while behind the trigger, Sara is generally reliable and doesn't panic easily. She is generally pragmatic as far as politics goes, but tends to favor things that would help the people of Bifrost. Not necessarily concerned with the money- but would rather have more instead of less if given the option.
Skills:
Brief History:
Sara was born in the midst of the Universal War on the planet of Bifrost, to a UEC pilot and nurse. With the planet of Bifrost serving as one of the UEC's primary portals to the stars beyond, it was unsurprising that the planet became something of a staging point for UEC forces. Most of Sara's childhood was spent aiding the UEC war machine, be it schooling to learn the history of the UEC, to afterschool work in the various factories, putting together goods for the soldiers passing through.
Unfortunately, it wasn't long before war came to Bifrost. The fires of war ravaged the planet, littering it with corpses and wrecks of LTS and UEC alike, while those like Sara cowered in underground bunkers, hoping to see the next dawn. By the time the fires had ceased, Bifrost was no longer a UEC colony, now it represented the heart of the Neutral Zone- which in a stroke of incredible irony was anything but neutral.
Like many Bifrost natives, Sara took it upon herself to join the planet's reconstruction efforts, along with the UEC remnants and the abandoned LTS forces. Learning underneath her father, Sara found herself behind the stick of one of the few remaining aerospace fighters, spending her teen years as a militia pilot, supporting the planet's hodgepodge defense forces in fending off pirates, scavengers and scrappers keen and picking through what was left of the destroyed world.
During a routine patrol, Sara would happen upon a shipment of LTS Augmented Armors, it's transport having gotten hopelessly lost after being waylaid by a band of pirates in the neutral zone, and crashing onto the surface of Bifrost. It's complement of armor more or less intact. Sara returned the treasure trove back to the Bifrost's defense forces, keeping one of the Augs for herself.
Armed with her new weapons, and entering adulthood, Sara quickly became an icon amongst her people, a Bifrost native, born and raised, defending her people with the weapons that razed their planet. Now armed with an Aug, Sara found herself able to take on tasks too difficult for the regular defense forces. Finding herself working alongside mercenaries more and more, Sara eventually began to form a sense of respect for the freelancers, even if she never fully trusted them.
Eventually, Sara would find herself drawn to the more lucrative work provided by EINHERJAR, as a means to an end to provide for her people. Sara enjoys the freedom provided by EINHERJAR, and the the pay isn't bad either.
AUG Name: Chevalier
AUG Appearance :
Armaments :
Specifications:
Straddling the gap between light scout/reconnaissance and a general purpose combatant, the Chevalier is a fast moving unit generally designed to be used in a method similar to lightly armored cavalry, or as a skirmisher. Unfortunately, the Chevalier finds itself both lacking the staying power of a dedicated combatant and the intelligence gathering capabilities of a dedicated scout. While this lack of focus in either role turned the Chevalier into something of a liability in the LTS forces, it's versatility makes it a good fit for the mercenary type in the Neutral Zone, where it's modest staying power and nimble frame allows it to fill both functions adequately enough for the needs of most mercenary units, which often lack the numbers to field dedicated scout units.
The Chevalier boasts high maneuverability and full flight capabilities, faster than most AUGs in the air, and only really surpassed in a straightaway by fixed wing aerospace craft. In combat, the Chevalier functions as a close air support unit, delivering precise strikes with it's missiles and strafing runs with it's cannon, before darting away to avoid reprisal. Due to its lack of staying power, the Chevalier is only rated for light duties while solo, better serving as fire support for other mercenary units.

Skills:
- Aerospace Pilot - Formerly a stick jockey, Sara is quite familiar with the control of a variety of fighter craft, which transfers over to her preferred method of combat behind the controls of an Aug.
- Spatial Awareness - Sara possesses an impressive degree of spatial awareness, whether it be the wingspan of her craft or the positioning of limbs. She understands trajectories and aerospace physics to a degree that helps her track even the fastest movers.
- Eagle Eyed - Sara has a very sharp eye for detail, allowing her to quickly notice possible threats and adjust accordingly. While not possessing a photographic memory, she does have fairly good memory recall as well.
- Valkyrie of Bifrost - A woman of the people, born and raised on Bifrost, Sara is well known and liked by many of the locals on Bifrost. She has the status akin to a hometown hero or local celebrity, and the luxuries and scrutinies that entails.

AUG Name: Chevalier
AUG Appearance :
Armaments :
Hand Slots:
- XBR 75mm Multi-role Autocannon - The XBR is a multi-barrel cannon fitted into the frame of an assault rifle. Designed for general combat, this cannon is a versatile weapon that deals consistent damage at most ranges. The XBR fires in semi automatic, 5 round burst, and fully automatic, and has two selectable firing speeds of 1000 RPM and 2500 RPM.
- T-2 Combat Shield - A medium sized, lightweight shield of hardened alloys treated with anti-beam coating provides the Chevalier with limited directional protection from oncoming fire. Mounted to the forearm instead of the hand itself, it can be rotated and shifted on the Chevalier's arm, leaving the hand open to carry other items- though usually not weapons. In addition, the T-2 combat shield features a pair of scatter-beam cannons, for potent shotgun style blasts of energy at close ranges.
- (Alternate) D20 Munitions Launcher - For strike missions, the Chevalier often forgos the T-2 combat shield for a D20 Launcher. Essentially a mech sized rocket launcher, the D20 uses a rear fed 4-rocket magazine. These rockets are only slightly guided with path correction capabilities as opposed to homing capabilities. Packing a powerful explosive warhead, these rockets are designed to incapacitate heavily armored combatants.
Sub Weapon:
- Chin Mounted XM921 Rotary Gun - Mounted on the chin of the AS-64 Chevalier is a XM921 6 barreled rotary machine gun. Firing 20mm shells, the XM921 is generally ineffective against AUGs and other heavily armored targets. It is used primarily for point defense and anti-personnel roles.
Shoulder/Wing Racks:
- Serpent AA Missile System - An advanced missile launcher system used by the Chevalier. Launching 3 Serpent Missiles from each wingtip, these fast, highly maneuverable AA missiles pack a surprising punch, able to make 90 degree turns, and capable of knocking most flying targets out of the sky with a single missile. While not particularly devastating, these small guided missiles are extremely difficult to avoid and are more than capable of crippling an airborne unit's flight capabilities, essentially spelling death for other fliers. Against ground targets, it is rather lackluster in damage when compared to other heavier missiles, and lacks armor penetration. Serpent Missiles are impact safe, allowing them to be safely carried.
- Cobra ATG Missile System - A robust missile launcher system used by the Chevalier. Launching 5 Cobra missiles from under each wing, these powerful AGM missiles pack a mean punch and are designed specifically for targeting ground armor and other ground based assets. Cobra AGM missiles have a difficult time targeting flying units and are primarily meant to take on heavily armored ground AUGs. Like Serpent missiles, the Cobras are impact safe, allowing them to be safely carried.
- Adder Semi-guided Swarm Rocket System - A 'semi-guided' rocket system used by the Chevalier. Carried in pod launchers mounted underneath each wing are 35 Adder rockets, totalling 70. Shortly after firing, Adder rockets split into 4 micro rockets to saturate areas with fire. These micro rockets feature light guidance to keep them generally on target, but lack the ability of dedicated locking missiles. Acting similar to dumbfire rockets, Adders are fast and cheap, and have moderate power, but lack significant armor penetration capabilities and are generally only moderately effective against heavily armored targets such as AUGs. These rockets are primarily designed to attack lightly armored targets and installations, or to supress hardened positions. Like it's cousins, the Adder has a minimum safe distance and are impact safe when not in use.
Gadget Slot:
- Advanced Countermeasure System - Designed to combat anti-air systems, the Chevalier ACS is essentially a miniature missile launcher mounted to it's back skirt, that detects oncoming heat signatures and launches guided munitions to counter and neutralize the oncoming threat, along with a spray of flares and chaff for pesky micro-missile style weapons.
- Supercruise/Afterburner System - Advanced propulsion systems allow the Chevalier to maintain supersonic 'cruising' speeds at Mach 1.5, and at full burn can temporarily reach speeds of Mach 2.

While this lack of focus in either role turned the Chevalier into something of a liability in the LTS forces, it's versatility makes it a good fit for the mercenary type in the Neutral Zone, where it's modest staying power and nimble frame allows it to fill both functions adequately enough for the needs of most mercenary units, which often lack the numbers to field dedicated scout units.
The Chevalier boasts high maneuverability and full flight capabilities, faster than most AUGs in the air, and only really surpassed in a straightaway by fixed wing aerospace craft. In combat, the Chevalier functions as a close air support unit, delivering precise strikes with it's missiles and strafing runs with it's cannon, before darting away to avoid reprisal. Due to its lack of staying power, the Chevalier is only rated for light duties while solo, better serving as fire support for other mercenary units.

Are you still looking for players?
If so, would something like a Balor be acceptable?

I'm a little confused on the kind of power level we're going for here. Third gen AC? Sixth gen AC? Fourth gen? Maybe something more like Aldnoah Zero's Martian Kataphrakts?

@Sanity43217: A quick lookover says probably not.
@Senhara: This is always something I have a bit of a hard time putting into words. ^^;
While I'm not yet finished with my second playthrough of AC6, I think Sixth gen isn't a bad comparison overall.

I haven't played an Armoured Core game since Armoured Core 2 on the PS2, so 'Power Levels' of ACs mean nothing to me as it is.
Is there a comparison from another franchise, or a more universal description?
I figured the idea would be all of our stuff was about the same, generally speaking, so there's an up to go as the game developed.

@Silverwind Blade: You're fine at where you at, like I said comparisons are something I kind of struggle with sometimes so I only made one because I was asked. ^^;
And yes, upgrades are intended.
The RP's probably going to launch this weekend, by the way!

okay that's way slower than I was expecting, I was anticipating more like 4th gen.
I also assume something like the AAS02: CATAPHRACT from AC6 is a no-go, right?
