Name: Zakharin ‘Iron Side’ Brusilov
Gender: Male
Age: 67
Appearance:
Brusilov stands an impressive 6’5 with a strong build to his body thanks to the amount of cybernetics in his body. In fact up-to 65% of his body is composed of cybernetics. Consisting of replacement heart, left lung, and spine. Bot of his arms and legs have been replaced as these old 3rd gen parts are far more utilitarian lacking the synthetic skin. Earning the nickname iron side. He keeps his hair in a marine buzz cut. While keeping a magnificent beard and mustache. As his brown hair has long since turned white. He wears the standard UN marine uniform.
Personality:
Brusilov is known to be quite a stubborn man. He carries himself with a degree of professionalism that was instilled into him while he was still in basic. Expecting the same from those under him. The old marine firmly takes to the old notion that a good officer must lead from the front as it inspires his men. He has known protective lives under his command more than his own life. Brusilov hates being reminded of his old age.
Backstory:
Born to a blue collar family in the slums of Moscow around 182 SA. Life was tough upbringing in the old capital of the Russian federation. He struggled in school throughout his youth and nearly dropped out of school during his freshman year. He had already joined a small street gang. But despite this Zakharin still wanted more to his life. Soon an opportunity presented itself as a United Nation marines corps recruiter came to Moscow. Hearing the possible life he could have in the marines granted the young man some clarity. Brusilov was able to lie about his age and joined the marines.
Zakharin shipped out to the UN marine training camp. Unlike his struggles with school he took greatly to his new life in the military. His zeal during his time earned him a promotion to the rank of corporal. Once his training was complete Brusilov was shipped out to the fight in the belt pacification campaign. Clearing out pirate and smugglers bases hidden among the asteroids. He performed admirably during the operation earning him an officers commission.
Over the next couple of decades Brusilov sent to different hotspots across the systems earning fame and metals for his service in the marine. Eventually making up to the rank of major where he stayed for several years avoiding any promotion to a higher rank. His desire not to achieve higher rank came from a concern that he would no longer be able to take part in front-line combat. This fear came back when assisting in a peacekeeping operation on Titan. A car bomb went off next to his squad during one of their patrols. Taking the full brunt of the explosion he was quickly evacuated to a medical station. And after a grueling 12 hour surgery ended up with most of his body being replaced with cybernetics. When Brusilov recovered from the wounds he was able to get sent back to his unit.
As Zakharin's long and illustrious career dragged on a certain issue became more apparent. The cyborg became more concerned that one day he would be pulled from combat and stuck behind a desk. He started to look for a way to avoid retirement. Brusilov soon was informed about an opening on Pandora for their head of security requested a transfered to the expedition. Having the old marine on the ship was considered to be a major boon for the expedition but they informed him if he wanted the position he would have accepted the rank of colonel. Reluctantly Brusilov accepted the position.
Skills and Flaws:
-Cybernetics: Since a lot of Brusilov body have been replaced with cybernetics it confers many benefits to him. Enhance strength, durability, and inbuilt weapons. But he has several medical issues due to the implants. For one his blood has to be dialysis as his blood is synthetic. Another problem is that he has older generation cybernetics thus requiring him to take special drugs in order to keep his body from rejecting the implants.
-Harden Veteran: A long and extensive career in the UN marines as both a regular enlisted man to piloting an Orbitals has molded Brusilov into a dangerous foe to engage. With a large amount of training and experience to call upon.
- Old age: The colonel has begun to slow down in his old age and has trouble accumulating new technology.
Equipment:
-Standard issue UNMC uniform
-.45 handgun
- Automatic 8 gauge shotgun
-toolkit
- box of cigars/zippo lighter
Cybernetics implants:
-Dermal Armor: Zakharin has armor woven into his skin that is able to reduce inflicted damage effects from blunt trauma, ballistic attacks, cutting, and/or slashing attacks. Secondary functionality also provides protection from electromagnetic pulse (EMP) assault. Although it limits the flexibility of his own skin. The dermal armor lacks in comparison to proper ballistic protection.
-Nanoblade: mounted on the top of his right arm is a monomolecular edge blade. Works great against flesh and light armor. But is ineffective for cutting through ceramic-metallic plate armor or similar material.
-Implanted SMG: In his left arm is mounted into his arm. Meant to be a holdout weapon in case of an emergency. It can't be reloaded without removing some of the arm plates.
-Shock absorbed: The leg's higher-density muscle bunches in tandem with the shock-absorbing gel matrix found in its knee joints is far better at absorbing shock. Allowing the Zakharin to survive longer falls.
==============================================
Model Number: CO-m31(A) Odysseus
Role: Command
Appearance:
The Odysseus stands at the regular height for an Orbital about 21 meters. Its body is the most noticeable thing about the orbital as all that comes from that orbital series. Its body is designed to maximize protection of the more important systems while trying to reduce weight.
Systems:
Sensor Array: The sensors on Odysseus are highly advanced, able to cut through most forms of interference giving it a clear view of the battle field harvesting any information is funneled into the pilot and to the battle net for other Orbitals to use.
Battle net: Far more than just a simple Communication system. The battle net links many different orbitals onto a signal network. This new work provides Common operational picture to not only the pilot of the Odysseus but to all Orbitals on the network. The net relies on an advanced A.I that the command can use to perform complicated maneuvers co-ordinates ground, air, and orbital assets.
Drone network: The Orbital carries a series of modular
drones that can be outfitted for various duties. From armed with mounted auto-cannons and missile pods. Extra sensor equipment to give a larger view of the battle field for spotting and recon. Even outfitted with some simple repair equipment for battlefield maintenance.
Weapons: The CO-m31(D) due to its role is armed with;
-H&K ac-40: A favorite among those of the UNMC developed by Heckler and Koch. The bullpup gun offers firepower and accuracy. As well as it can fire a variety of ammunition types from solid slugs to HE rounds.
-M-50: A multi rocket missile launcher that can fire either smart or dumb fire ammunition. The system has an autoloader to refill the empty tubes in between salvos.
-Vibro-blade: For close quarter combat it has a blade vibrate at an incredible speed causing it to be able to cut through all sorts of material and it is mounted into the wrist.
Manufacturing History:
Developed by the UN Military commission on Orbital development in 240 as a part to develop the next generation of orbitals. The goal of which was to create a series of Orbitals to take advantage of the newly created battlenet called the Trojan series. Each given the names of Greek heroes the first to make it through the design was Odysseus as the Achilles and Ajax are stuck in a bureaucratic gridlock. The series disposed most of the established design traditions of orbital giving the series its unique look. The Odysseus was sent out to units for field trials. The feedback from pilots led to improvements in the survivability of the unit.
Weaknesses:
The main drawback to the unit is the lack of offensive capabilities and defensive that the Orbital has. As armor and shielding units had been removed to make room for the various sensors and communication within the Orbitals body. Due to all the sophisticated systems it has a vulnerability to electronic warfare.
