Nerves In Carbonox: A Roll-Your-Own Giant Mecha Roleplay

the dice lead me to a restless supporter build and I shall live by it

Nerves In Carbonox: A Roll-Your-Own Giant Mecha Roleplay

I ran into this at 5 am, got interested, rolled some dice, and now I feel obligsted to flesh out this gigachad of a pilot
I'll get to work, for now here's what I got in an unorganized manner (let me know if I did anything wrong)

Big Boi

Experienced pilot
You have a somewhat higher chance to succeed in your actions, but a somewhat lower chance of synchronizing with your Framewerk. You may also roll for (or pick) one more Primary Weapon System, three more Secondary Systems, and one more Perk in addition to the default selection.

Background potential:
Supporter: You are an expert when it comes to providing assistance to others. While not flashiest role, you provide an essential duty, and become and anchor that the other pilots in the squad will rally behind when the going gets tough. You may receive an Additional Secondary System for your Framewerk. As a free action, you can use one of your Secondary Systems to assist one nearby ally once per turn. You may also perform a free reaction shot with your Primary Weapon at one enemy who performs an attack or move at medium range (think assault rifle range as a human equivalent). However, you tend to brush aside or even forget your own needs, putting others before you, sometimes to a worrying degree.

Perks
Athletic: You're a pinnacle of human physique, capable of running a marathon or wrestling a bear. You may even have competed in sports, earning gold medals. Your Framewerk piloting also gets some benefit, like increased speed of a lower weight class and stronger melee attacks of a heavier weight class.
Book Smart: You are knowledgeable and well-read in one subject of your choosing.

Framewerk Class
Very Heavy: Very Heavies are brutes, and their steps can cause the ground to tremble for a fair distance. You are to be respected and feared.
Type: Backliner: Your Framewerk is all about ranged superiority, and taking the enemy out before they can reach you. Whether it is precision elimination with a sniper rifle, covering fire with Gatling guns and flak cannons, or blowing them up to smithereens with a tactical artillery strike. You could even more experimental energy-based weaponry like lightning guns to zap your foes.

Primary system
Dual Acid Cannons: These cannons fire detonating rounds that cause wide-spread, highly explosive acid damage. The corrosive payload can melt through armor and cause notable damage over time. Combined with the weapon's high rate of fire, the weapon is most effective against multiple targets.
Artillery Mortars: Cannon weapons mounted on the shoulders that fire explosive shells with high destructive yield. The weapon includes a projectile flight path calculation system that predicts the arcing paths of shells before they are fired from the weapon, improving accuracy. Weather and the movement of enemy units is not taken into account by the system's calculations. The weapon is intended devastation in a large are of effect. The cannon barrels are also modified to extend or shorten in length to allow better control over operational range. Includes several modes. During "Artillery Mode", the cannons are both extended and angled within 45 degrees from horizontal over the shoulders to allow for long-range bombardment. During "Mortar Mode" the cannons are shortened and within 45 degrees of being vertical to allow for rapid bombardment at medium ranges. Finally, during "Direct Mode" the cannons are angled almost entirely horizontal over the shoulders to allow for direct fire at shorter ranges. The weapon includes an assortment of shells available for use that can be switched out by pilot commands. Both mode and ammunition changes can be done once per turn.
HEFI Shell: High-Explosive Fragmentation Incendiary shells, shortened to HEFI, are more dangerous to use at shorter ranges due to the fragmentation and incendiary effects of the shells. These shells have a more pronounced arc, and are recommended for use in either Artillery or Mortar Mode.
APHE Shell: Armor-Piercing High-Explosive shells are designed for short to long range engagements. These shells have a less pronounced arc that allows for greater range, and are especially effective in Direct Mode due to possessing a smaller explosion radius.
HYDRA Shell: Specially designed shells that break apart and separate in midair, releasing a swarm of explosive capsules that carpet bomb over a targeted area. Recommended for use in Mortar Mode, cannot be used in Direct Mode. These shells must be carefully loaded, and therefore require more time to be loaded.
Titan Shell: Shells fitted with with large-yield conventional explosive warheads, resembling the detonation size and strength of a Massive Ordinance Air Blast (MOAB). Recommended only for Artillery Mode, as the explosion radius is large. Cannot be used in Direct Mode.

Secondary system:
Bastion: A portable wall capable of expanding and digging in to the ground to protect two adjacent ally Framewerks of Heavy weight class or smaller at each side. It is made using Carbonox and other advanced alloys, and highly resistant to plasma. In it's folded form it can be used as a battering ram or as a protecting armament against flanking opponents.
Energy Wings: Detachable energy fields that can take a multitude of shapes and block incoming strikes and projectiles. These can be used to guard the Framewerk from a variety of incoming attacks. However, they can travel a short distance away from the Framewerk and protect an ally as well.
Utility Drones: Your Framewerk's shoulders are enlarged and capable of releasing one drone each. While not as efficient or numerous as other types of drones, these drones can fly swiftly and perform a single role of your choosing including fire support, repairs, protection, surveillance or data gathering, and are equipped to serve that role. The two drones can have different roles.
Segmented Recombination: The Framewerk's construction is uniquely divided, with every single segment beyond the core, where the cockpit is located, capable of splitting off the core, and subsequently reattach with ease using magnetic forces. The divided parts can operate autonomously with inbuilt computer systems. As a result, the pilot can adapt to the increasing damage that the Framewerk can sustain during battle.
Power Engine: Mounted on the Frame's back, it is a power-increasing device that increases speed equal to one lower level of weight class, and power equal to a level of higher weight class. It also improves carrying capacity, allowing the Framewerk to lift up and carry ally Framewerks as a free action for that turn. The device needs to recharge for one turn before it can be used again.

Final Fantasy: Lightseekers

techinically speaking if you destroyed the planets of the solar system we wouldn't have a planet to stand on
Please don't destroy the world

Final Fantasy: Lightseekers

In Soup Man's case he goes gamer mode and starts beating his drum very intensely so that his allies are extra motivated.
Game wise it'd be like putting a bit of aggro on himself and giving his allies attack buffs

Final Fantasy: Lightseekers

it's not too late guys, we can all make a Vagrant and form a House Squad

Final Fantasy: Lightseekers

I'll upload the reference pic later, I gotta sleep for now.

Soup Man

"Don't mind the faint glow of the soup, it means it's good."

GENERAL INFORMATION

Name: Solace

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race: Sollan

Origin: Edren, A town near Chocobo Forest

COMBAT INFORMATION

Class: Bard

Weapon: Crossbows and a war drum.
Solace carries a small repeating crossbow for quickly discharging bolts(unable to operate drums while shooting with this).
He also carries two bigger crossbows for more powerful bolts, sacrificing firing speed for accuracy and power of individual shots.
The war drum Solace possesses can be mounted in front of his abdomen so that he can operate his crossbow with one hand and beat the drum with the other.

Inventory:
Cooking utensils and various spices.
Various tools and ingredients for improvising crossbow bolts.

Materia: [Currently two max.]
-Slow Prayer: A Materia that allows its user to imbue healing properties to the food they cook. Simpler cuisine tend to be easier to imbue said properties, having Solace resort to making tea and vegetable soup for healing purposes.

Limit Breaks:
-Crook's March
Solace enters a trance-like state of flashbacks and anger, channeling its energy into his war drum. Violent, fast beats motivate his allies in combat and distract his enemies.
In this state, Solace is unable to operate his crossbow, only able to thrash out his limbs for self defense. Gaining injuries can interrupt and end this state quicker, but the remaining rage can be delivered with his crossbow strikes.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Appearance Details: A man who usually hides his face with a mask, covered in travel attire that protects him from rough weather and hostile entities. He carries a bag full of luggage, somehow managing not to explode into a mess. Solace's attire tends to cover most of his skin from head to toe, the mask even having an opening mouth hole for when he has to eat.
The attire consists of a dull brown tone top and bottom, along with a olive green hood going over his head. The mask is made of wood, weathered and stains littered here and there.
Simply put, his attire is dull and basic, not much unique.. for now.

Under the garment, Solace has a fairly built body with muscles under his skin, though not muscular enough to look like a seasoned warrior. He is far from a typical heroic figure.

Personality:
Solace has lacking confidence on himself, consciously and subconsciously relying on the help of others to complete challenging tasks. Naturally, a task done alone tends to cloud his mind with doubt and concerns. It is a habit that has stuck with Solace for a long time, hardly going away. For now, at least.
When meeting people, Solace is kind and is willing to help whatever he feels he can, although the self doubt keeps the list of options in his head quite small. But as emotional and self doubting as Solace can be, he still seeks to improve himself so that he won't put the lives of others in jeopardy. This sometimes comes out as him treating others as his "teacher", the subject varying from small to big things such as "maintaining small talks" to "crossbow marksmanship". He is a student filled with both will and doubt.
Solace has one of his "episodes" sometimes, a rush of negative emotions and unpleasant memories of his past mistakes scraping about at his mind. While he used to ball up and wait till it passes, he newly found a way to channel such energy into a form of motivation with the help of his war drums.

Biography:
Solace grew up in a quiet town in the woods, a bit North to the Chocobo Forest of Edren. He had a different name, and a family to live with. They were a loving family- a father with a bit of temper and a good heart, a somewhat stubborn but kind mother, and a brother with a heart and will.
The town foraged and hunted for a living, peacfully resting in a form of almost a self sufficiency. They did sell some of the yields of their hunt for necessary supplies, but other than that there was little to no contact with the outside world.

A group of bandits, who got their hands on two Materia by sheer luck, set their eyes on this town. In one hand was a Materia that could spring a deadly sickness, and on another a one that could heal people of disease. They contacted the townsfolk disguised as travelling merchants, here to stay for some time.
Soon after the bandits' arrival, the town suffered from a sudden spread of disease. The so-called merchants started selling healing supplies at a very high price, until they had the entire town on their hands. After some time passed with this vicious monopoly in play, a small group of townsfolk rebelled against these bandits. Solace's brother was among the brave rebels, while Solace was too afraid to fight until the last moment.

Solace walked out to see the death of his brother. He had shriveled into a mangled corpse from prolonged exposure to the power of the Materia. Solace fired the crossbow out of a rush of rage. The bandit captain fell, dropping down the Materia to the ground. Solace didn't waste any time getting hold of those magic utensils to take out rest of the bandits. Solace left the town, shocked by the loss of his brother and his lack of courage to stand up in the fight and hopefully save his brother. Leaving behind his old name and a fallen town, Solace started a new life.

Solace learned better work of his crossbow and the beating of wardrums on his travel, helped by strangers who had warm hearts and the patience to teach him their ways.

The Materia of sickness was discarded, left to a knight Solace ran into while traveling Balmung so that it would not be abused by the wrong user.

Traits:
-Yearns to make deep bonds, yet fears approaching others for such deep bonds.
-Emotional, easily swayed by emotions and often into a negative feedback loop.
-Sweet? Tooth. Solace enjoys tea to calm down his nerves, and would be willing to share with you a warm cup of tea.

Relationships:
-A stranger who taught Solace how to properly operate crossbows in combat. His hometown used crossbows, but only for hunting wild animals.
-Another stranger who taught him how to play a war drum, and gave him one.
-Most of the townsfolk of Solace's hometown are dead, and the survivors think he died in the fight.

I have added in the reference pic and additional appearance description that describes the colors.
