[CHAR] Shattering of Tranquility

[datadogie]

PILOT

Name: Cyan McFarley
Age: 15
Home world: Lemea (An ice world with a single colony, used for scientific research and for water resupplies.)

Appearance: With piercing blue eyes and straight, black hair (not to forget the single, purple streak), Cyan looks quite pretty compared to the average girl. Cyan has a slender build and white skin, with set shoulders and small breasts. Small lips, small ears and a small nose punctuate her face a little.

Personality: Cyan is usually quite cheerful, and quite giggly. She tries to keep herself happy, and likes to train. However, this isn't all. Below this obvious layer, this layer of happiness and cheerfulness, something darker lays beneath. Cyan is untrustworthy, and she makes a plan to kill or backstab anyone she meets, if she needs to. She always comes with a plan. This, and Cyan can be quite aggressive if provoked, or even upset.

History: Cyan was born on the scientific research - water resupply colony on the planet known as Lemea. In the day, Cyan learned at school, and studied. However, after school, it wasn't going home and having fun. It was surviving. The harsh colds and occaisional blizzard meant that the heating had to be kept up most of the time, so that lead to harsh bills for heating and electricity. This meant that the McFarley family, as well as other families, had to work hard to get pay. That also meant young Cyan.

As she grew up, Cyan was forced to work. She chose the path of a Mech operator because she found it fun, and it paid well. She was trained to operate a Warrior mech, in order to transport hazardous materials around the settlement. This also meant she got into fights with the local wildlife, protecting the settlement against things such as Lonas, giant six-legged bear looking creatures, and other animals that thrived on Lemea.

Finally, she read up about Tranquility Academy. Figuring that it was a good way to get off of the frozen husk in the middle of the galaxy, she spoke to her parents, and racked up the funds and papers to be transferred there, much to her delight.

MECH

Planet of origin: Lemea

Model: ST-A-FM03 (Scientific Transportation-Analysis-Fighting Mecha MK3), known more as the Warrior. It was designed to move materials around the settlement of Lemea, mostly hazardous ones that couldn't be handled normally. Originally, the settlement was protected by Knights, however they were dismissed when it was realized that the Warrior had the strength to crush it's foes and protect the settlement on it's own. This led to upgrades, including the ability to handle light weaponry and melee equiptment, however by looking at it's hands you could see it simply doesn't need that. That's why the military adopted the design, however they are rarely seen on the frontlines.

As well as the power in it's hands, the Warrior is also a very fast mech, as sometimes you need to move materials to a place quickly, like from cooling unit to cooling unit. The mech also has a full user-sync and an AI, to keep everything in check and perfect. After all, you probably would appreciate the extra support if you were carrying a singularity warhead to a testing site. The mech also is burdened with medium armour and a weak shield, just to survive the blizzards and animals of Lemea. Unfortunately, due to the burden of technology on the Warrior, it only has one weapon slot, as well as three customization slots.
Stat roundoff:
Medium armor
Fast speed
Can wield light weaponry and melee weaponry (One slot)
Energy shielding (Light)
Two customization slots
Full Sync and full AI

Preferred weapon(s):
MAS (Mass Accellerated Slug), a handheld cannon that fires a small slug at very fast speeds, creating a heavy impact on what it impacts. The front of the weapon is set into four different circles, each rotating at a different speed, to create a small gravetational field that pushes the shell out. The weapon is, unintentionally, good for stealth. Since the slug is launched using gravity generated by quietly spinning circles, it means there is no blast from the gunpowder of a conventional bullet, and no sound from it. The rifle weighs little since it does not require the ejection of cases, or ignition. And, of course, it works in space.

Systems package( Your customizations): Cloaking System, Electronic Jamming Suite

AI: Y (Yes)
AI name: Wiz
AI personality: Wiz is a basic AI, used for helping handle hazordous materials, however she is also programmed for combat assistance. Since she has not been programmed for much, she doesn't have that much of a personality, either. Wiz will read out status reports, such as, "Recieving damage," or "Systems rebooting," saying nothing otherwise. Rarely, she will give a remark of some kind.

Pilot

Name: Hayden Welles

Age: 15

Home world: Tranquility

Appearance:


Personality: Hayden does not trust IFS but knows their the only chance he has for vengeance on UP-DC. He hopes for war and plans to graduate early and in time to get out their and fight. Other than that he is friendly if rather reserved, he doesn't take crap and has a history of getting into fights. He does not trust students from off world but knows they'll have to get along.

History: Growing up just outside the Freehold, the capital of Tranquility Hayden's father and uncle ran a farm. Haydens mother was chief of Mech development in Freehold and it's leading scientist. Hayden worked on the farm mostly while attending school however, he and his older sister would test Mechs with their mother on the weekends. Hayden was actually a test pilot for the Paladin prototypes. His sister is graduate from the Academy and Hayden plans to follow in her footsteps.

However during the battle of Tranquility Hayden lost his families farm, his father and uncle. UP-DC Mechs leveled the farm and Hayden ended up trying to fight them with the Welles family Knight. He managed to destroy two enemy Mechs before he himself was taken down, rescued by his sister Hayden's right arm and right leg were lost in the wreckage. Both have been replaced with grafted cybernetics, he know harbors deep hatred for UP-DC. Since the battle Tranquility has mostly been rebuilt however with very few mechs available Hayden is currently using a Knight but a custom model is in development for him by his mother.

Mech

Planet of origin: Tranquility

Model: Knight

The basic model of mech mass produced by both sides used by civilians and is commonly seen used by untrained pilots as there are the simplest mech to pilot and offer a large range of customization. However Knights are not as well armored as other classes of mech and cannot keep pace with others, the upshot is that it can use a full range of weapons and can be customized to your needs.


Stats:
Average speed
Poor armor
Can wield all types of weapons except melee (Three weapon slots)
Has three customization slots
Energy shielding (Medium)
No on-board AI

Preferred weapon(s): Mech assault rifle- Using a heavy caliber mech assault rifles balance damage and speed. Using conventional bullets make it perfect for dealing with soldiers or assault other mechs.

Rail Gun- A weapon designed for cracking shields and ambushing targets, the Rail gun is design to rip though targets. A squad of mechs deployed with these can take down even the biggest mechs.

Anti-mech Rifle- The most powerful currently in production. It destroys any mech it hits, shielding can deflect the round. Firing this this rifle cause's massive kick and it requires ten second charge between each shot, laser based so as long as your shields are up your okay. Cause mechs to spiral out of control in space and mech on the ground to slide backwards.

Systems package: Shield upgrade package, Flight system.

AI: No

[caliban22]

Name: Dominic Visla
Age:17
Home world: Jericho(A Small earth like planet well known for their plant's military)
Appearance: Dominic stands at a tall 6'1, with Green eyes,short black hair, and dark olive skin. Dominic has broad shoulders and is really fit.
Personality: Dominic is very easy going normally. With a very understanding personality, it is easy for him to fit in most places. In class or in training he is very disciplined and has very little tolerance for people who do less than their best.
History: Dominic was born the son of a military officer in the planetary capital Diomedes. Dominic, like many other youths on his planet were military brats, and as such they had a certain expectation set for them. Many were expected to enlisted, to serve as an officer,mech pilot, or some other military position. At the age of 13 he enlisted in the youth army.(think basically battle school armies from Ender's game just on a massive scale, but slightly more deadly) for two years he fought mock battles, did survival training, and got to Mech training. Dominic never knew his mother as she died giving birth to him.


Planet of origin:Jericho
Model:M-23 Mark IV Guardian Drop assault pattern "Informally known as the grunt." This aging Pattern of Guardian series mech has often been the target of much scrutiny. Designed to be a light "Drop" Mech it has since on Jericho been used as the base for many of it's Planetary forces. Designed with a jump pack for short jumps, this model is designed to be literally dropped in battle via a drop pod type vehicle. It's primary goal was to provide hard hitting fire power to Rapid deploying troops who can't be bogged down waiting for heavier support.The grunt with it's light armor is incapable of holding prolonged battles with heavier mechs, relying instead on it speed and flight boosters to flank an enemy and neutralize it. Designed to hold multiple roles this mech fills its role as a hit and run mech perfectly. For all it's perks the Mech requires a high level of training as the drop pod requires manual adjustment for entry. Because of it's intial design as a drop mech with versatility, the mech was never intended for roles other than behind enemy lines hit and run actions.
Stat roundoff:
Armor:Light
Speed:Very fast
Can wield light weaponry and melee weaponry (two)
Two customization slots
Preferred weapon(s): Mark X Mech Carbine: a Mech version of the standard Infantry rifle, This heavy hard hitting weapon offers great Anti Infantry options, but doesn't sacrifice it's mech killing power. Jericho Mech Combat knife.
Systems package( Your customizations):Flight pack,
AI: Y
AI name: Lia
AI personality: Lia, like most people and AI from Jericho, is very no nonsense. She provides read out on the status of the mech, handles ammunition count, and deals with communications when Dominic is in the middle of combat, filtering out all useful information to Dominic and blocking out all unnecessary ones. Due to her creation for Dominic when he was a child, she is quite fond of Dominic and often feels the need to look out for his well being.

Pilot
Name: Hunter Monroe
"You want me to fix something I'll fix it, You want me to break something I'll break it. Simple as that."

Age:17

Home world: Admiration (A small planet where the surface is uninhabitable. so in return The small population lives in the caves with in the planet both mining for rare metals and working with different machines for both lighting and self sustaining.)

Appearance: Hunter stands 5'10" with a build a little less then average. He is a Caucasian male with brown hair and grey eyes, Though his eyes are rarely seen since he is always wearing goggles. Both his hands are lined with cuts and burned from working in the caves, though again, rarely seen as he is normally wearing work gloves. He wears old jeans and a T-shirt, he also wears an old open jacket over this.

Though once you get past the smartassness he's a reasonable person; Who will kick the ass of anyone who messes with the people he cares for. He also is very relaxed in many situations, though in a situation where things are going wrong he may go under pressure.

History: Hunter grew up around machines, his family helped work the lighting systems in the caves of Admiration. With this Hunter picked up electrical engineering relatively easily. Growing up he used a lot of heavy machinery to get jobs done around the mines taken care of. Being the oldest of 4 siblings it was normally his job to watch them all when his parents were both busy. Hunter was watching his sibligs when Admiration was first invaded for it's raw materials.

When the UP-DC invaded the local militia was not equipped to hold off an invasion of mechs. The planet had fallen and been taken back several times with in Two years. After Hunter turned 17 he joined the Independent Federation of Systems so he would be able to help save his home planet.

[Apothecary]

Pilot:

Name: Farid Saraca

Age: 17

Home world: Borea (world mostly covered with deserts)

Appearance: Fairly tall young of slender athletic build. Face full of sharp features dominated by a majestic patrician nose and framed by his long curly hairs. The darker color of his hair fits well with his olive skin and makes him look somehow exotic.
He usually wear an anonymous combination of simple shirts and jeans complemented by a brightly orange scarf around his neck, only piece of home he took with himself.

Personality: Ambitious and impulsive, the words that perfectly describe Farid. Born on a backwater dirthole, he is always trying to prove himself, even if it isn´t actually necessary. He aims high and isn´t afraid to partake in any challenge set in front of him. He often do things without second thoughts and although it often takes him into troubles, it also makes him a fairly unpredictable opponent on the battlefield, immediately exploiting every opportunity he finds.
Apart from this, he is a pretty reasonable young man, maybe a little bit too rough around the edges and unhealthy tendencies to speak what he really thinks.

History: Farid´s parents were farmers, one of the many unfortunate people tasked with mission to bring life into the desert by mostly using mostly outdated terraformation methods. It was an ungrateful job, but thanks to the steady supply of water and ability to actually grow their own food, they had a better life than most of the planet. Still, they had to work hard for every bit of luxury they had and were in constant danger of of being raided by pirates, preying on the secluded farms.
To put it mildly, Farid hated his home, always longing for something more. His father wanted to have farmer out of him, but Farid had other idea. When he was old enough to enlist, he joined the local militia. They were mostly ex-military veterans and enthusiastic youngsters like Farad, who used a few discarded and barely functional mechs IFS borrowed them. Still, they managed to get some payback on the raiders and effectively dismiss their numbers. Farid, although rarely part of actual skirmishes, showed enough potential while handling his mech, that when the IFS authorities came to investigate militia´s actions, he has been offered a military scholarship.

Mech:

Planet of origin: Tranquility

Model: Invader, a specialized version of Raider mech designed for rapid deployment and hit and run operations. Smaller and less powerful than original mechs, Invaders were created to be masters of guerilla warfare, operating behind the enemy lines. They are more energy efficient and have integrated cloaking system effectively masking their presence from the long range scanners.
Their speed is roughly same as the speed of Raider, but they are way more agile thanks to the flexibile joints and other minor enhancements, thus capable of moves more armored mechs simply cant do. Invader´s legs also feature a series of thrusters, which give the mech an unparalered ability to jump over long distances and heights, which is often utilized in their fighting tactic.

Stats:
High Speed
Light Armor
Can wield only light weapons and melee weapons. (Three weapon slots)
No customization slot.
Energy shielding (Light)
On-board AI, no full sync

Preferred weapon(s):
Multi-barreled grenade launcher: Compact weapon utilized more for its ability to sow confusion than for its stopping power. Able to shoot multiple (five) grenades per salvo with a reasonable reload speed, each grenade possessing a different proprieties. Thanks to thee different effect, the have no reliable way to prepare himself for the upcoming barrage.
Spear with an energetic tip: The most distinctive weapon of every Invader, created to utilize mech´s ability to jump and charge. With a little precision, the spear can penetrate almost every kind of armor, although using it multiple times in one combat can be a little bit difficult as it tend to stuck inside the enemy mech.

Chainblade: Brutally effective combination of chainsaw and oversized knife, used as a side weapon when there is no real way to recover the spear. Isn´t so good at penetrating armor, but once it hits a sensitive spot, the destruction is guaranteed.

AI: Y
AI name: Abe
AI personality: Simple AI created to store any important data found behind enemy lines and assist the pilot on solo missions. Although Abe works mostly off screen and independently on the pilot, it might be asked to show any important detail the pilot might have missed. It´s personality is fairly limited, although it is know to quote Sun Tzu and Art of war on numerous occasion. The reason for this behavior remains unknown.

Ciell CS

Pilot

Name: Ciell Macci

Age: 17

Home world: Tranquility

Appearance: A life dedicated to training has left Ciell with a lean, athletic form. An albino, her skin is chalk-white, her long hair a similar color, and her eyes holding a red-violet hue. She has a hard gaze and straight posture, like a soldier constantly at attention. Despite this, she’s prone to wearing civilian clothes when things are quiet, however no matter what the outer layer, she’s never without the form-fitting pilot suit below it all.

Personality: Cold and dismissive to anyone that isn’t her superior, compliant and dutiful to all others with an underlying layer of competitiveness beneath everything. Ciell makes a good soldier and little else. Though not prone to recreation, she took up dance in her early teens as an approved extracurricular exercise by her mother.

History: Ciell’s parents were exceptional pilots, with both the passion and skills to excel in their suits. However bad luck proved to be the stronger force when her father’s prototype mech malfunctioned, resulting in a detonation of its core and the death of both himself and the nearby scientists monitoring his run.
Shortly after, Ciell was born and her mother decided early on the girl was fated to be pilot. But unlike her father, she would not be dabbling in technology that she could not directly control, and thus she was relegated to the Paladin-class.
For years when she wasn’t running simulations, she was training under the iron fist of her mother’s regime. This worked until she was fifteen, when Ciell suffered a sudden and crippling anxiety attack whilst piloting. Psychologists were quick to point the finger at her mother’s harsh parenting, but Ciell claimed that the AI integration had been the source. With no agreed-upon cause, the girl was released and continued training without incident for the next two years, until present.

Mech

Planet of origin: Tranquility

Model: Paladin

Preferred weapon(s): The Mirror: An inward-curving field of visible magnetic energy that hovers close behind the mech and travels from one shoulder to the other. Upon activation the Mirror’s ideal function would be to draw an incoming projectile into one end of the field, use its momentum to slingshot it across to the other end and rocket it back towards the direction of origin. However, the Mirror is experimental, and in addition to being useable only in instantaneous bursts, the system as a whole has a chance to falter. In such cases, the projectile could burn up in the field, break away and travel in an unintended direction, or simply be unaffected and damage the mech directly. As well, the Mirror is only capable of reflecting projectiles from the front, attacks from the side/behind will be unaffected.

Mech Axe: A single-bladed energy axe, with a staff that runs roughly the height of the mech. The back of the blade as well as the end of the axe are equipped with boosters designed to propel swings against heavily armored targets for a chance at causing more damage, as well as adding to the Paladin-class mech’s inherent mobility.

Systems Package: No Upgrades Available

AI: Yes

AI name: Eckerd

AI personality: While originally designed to be a snappy and sarcastic unit, after Ciell’s incident two years prior, Eckerd’s core personality was overwritten. Now the AI serves the same managerial purposes, minus any and all emotion. As such, the AI/Pilot mental mesh turns Ciell’s mind into a veritable machine, capable of analyzing both the minute systems of her mech as well as the battlefield in perfect synchronization.
