Appearance:
Name: Tamrapani Zaerayev Vadiyashti Daegev... You know what? Just call me Tam.
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Personality: Boisterous doesn't begin to cover it. Tam parties hard and works harder, painfully aware that life is short and going out of your way not to enjoy it will only make it shorter. She's got a big mouth, and will constantly fill your comm channels with off-color jokes, sexual innuendo and general blasphemies against sanity and good taste. She's quick to anger, but just as quick to forgive, and tends to laugh off little things like bruises or dislocations as "good fun".
Species: Heavy-grav world human. Broad-shouldered, thick skinned and well muscled by a combination of natural adaptation and generations of gene-modding.
Relation: Tam's family life is... complicated to say the least. Her home planet of Naraka is pretty much a deathworld, and most of it's inhabitants work the dangerous, but high-paying mines. Because of the high mortality rate, Narakans practice chain marriages, with multiple husbands and wives as sort of a mutual assurance against accidental death. In the black humor of the mining worlds, well, sorry your mom died, but at least you've got spares. Tam has six living father's and four living mothers, as well as several dead ones who she quietly honors.
Gear: Tamrapani is the unit's armourer. It's her job to take care of the various bits of finicky technology that give a mercenary unit its tactical edge. As such, she carries a toolkit almost as big as some of her teammates in addition to her combat shotgun and service pistol. Her favorite tool, however, is the massive fitting wrench strapped to the side of her pack, which she uses to break things almost as often as she repairs them.
She's about 200cm, 105 kilos.
Programming:
Achilles is unique among modern robotic warfare in that he is controlled by a highly intelligent sentient AI. This AI has been modelled after the human brain, with vastly improved computing capabilities and logical faculties. This allows it to adapt to it's opponents on the battlefield, rapidly learning new techniques and tricks. It is capable of emotion, to an extent, as a necessary side effect. It is capable of all human emotions, but they are suppressed and overruled by it's most prevalent trait - loyalty. Nothing will cause this robot to betray those it considers it's allies.
Materials:
Modern robotics is a mixture of bio-engineering and conventional cybernetics. The AI, memory and processing power is held within a central 'brain', consisting of superenhanced biological tissue, a mass of receptors forming automatic links similar to grey matter. It's circuitry is similarly biological, allowing for rapidly adapting and regrowing links - even in a state of near destruction Achilles can continue to function. It's armour plating is formed from carbon-tubing enhanced with cyclical ions. In effect, it's a layer of reinforced diamond with the capability to put itself back together, scratches and holes rapidly closing, provided they're small. Larger quantities of damage can only be repaired using advanced machinery.
Physical Capabilities:
The Artificial Muscle used in the construction of Achilles consist of a variety of layered Nylon strings with electro-sensitive synapses, which grant it the strength of 50 men. It can tear apart steel with it's bare hands, and crush a man's head with ease. It's heavy armour prevents it from moving around at an optimal pace, but it can still easily outrun a human.
Weaponry:
The Achilles can utilize a modified version of almost any conventional infantry weapon. However, it's increased strength allows it to utilize the Magstorm, a specialized railgun with a rotating barrel. Using high-powered electromagnets, the Magstorm fires AP rounds at Mach 3, allowing for a perfect storm of destructive capabilities. It uses massive amounts of ammunition, carried on the Achilles' back, but it's offensive capabilities are worth the cost.
Name: Alexander Gildone
Age: 28
Gender: Male
personality: Prefers to keep focused on the mission, but will give sly remarks, towards other team members if he is provoked. He prefers to keep to himself and not talk much around most people. He is known to give his teammates nick names during the missions though.
species: Human
Relation: Alex never knew his parents because he was a orphan left in the woods. He was soon found by a soldier and brought to a military base. He grew up around soldiers all his life, so he knows no other way of living. He soon learned at a young age that he was very agile and could move around in the trees, without alerting anyone. He also was very good with a sniper rifle, so they trained him to be a scout. He was one of the youngest soldiers to leave that base a full fledged soldier. He then joined the mercenary group because it was good money and it gave him the chance to use what he had learned.
Weapons: He carries two sniper rifles, one is high powered for large enemies and the second is a silenced sniper rifer to take out smaller targets quietly if needed. He also carries a pistol and a combat knife.
gear: He had a cloaking device to help him hide in the trees, though it works best when he doesn't move. He also has a pair of digital binoculars that allow him to pick up heat signatures, heart rates, and see in infrared.
