Backstory:
Olympia has been many things. A thief, a swindler, and a smuggler to name a few. But one thing she has never been is shy. Brash and bold since the day she was born, she roamed the sandswept streets of the fortune region, sticking to the crumbling spires and shifty alleyways of the dunes and dilapidated cities. With a mystery of a mother, and a father with his head stuck in the corner bordellos, she raised herself and found company with a ring of prominent drug traffickers.
They needed a runner; a go-between that could pick up their supply in the Therux state, or redistribute it to the branches in the other regions. Olympia thought nothing of the questionable nature of her job or the possible consequences it could entail, and instead yearned for the excitement and thrill of the taboo career she had chosen.
She took to it naturally, and not only succeeded, but thrived. Her wits and street smarts carried her through the ranks, until she had routes of her own. Olympia charmed her way into the caravans of military companies and the homes of war trodden citizens, giving them the strength they needed to fight, or the distraction they needed to forget, all with the convenience of a bottle or a capsule.
Eventually, she discovered a new thrill. Rolling high with the military revealed fortunes beyond money. High grade weapons and small stashes of Elementum were a bargaining tool for the illustrious soldiers, and she was more than happy to relieve them of it. In the case of an especially indebted Lieutenant with a bloodstream full of doses and a pocket full of lint, Olympia became the proud owner of a MKII+.
This presented an opportunity. With the mech, she knew that more power was a possibility, and some friends in low places helped her learn to use it. In pursuit of a different horizon, she handed off her branch of the cartel and joined the Outcast Guild, her face splattered with a grin and pockets lined in cash.
Tactical Preference & Skills:
Olympia is quick on her feet, preferring to play 'cat and mouse' when she can, with her sword as an accomplice. In tighter or more threatening situations, she's quite skilled with an SMG. She likes to stay in the action, but uses environmental cover to stay safe.

“Most people work hard to succeed in life. Me? It was a piece of cake.”
Name/Title:
Custom MKII+ Unit, “Eris”
Body & Type:
Humanoid Bipedal
Equipment & Armaments:
Hand Slot 1:
Elementum Sword - Crudely styled, yet graceful, and crimson in color, this long and wicked sword has a deadly range and a razor sharp edge to boot.
Hand Slot 2:
8-Gauge Shotgun - Stored within the left arm, the mid range usage of this weapon is terrifying enough, though the short range capabilities of this firearm are downright devastating. Ammo reserves are contained in this slot.
Sub Weapon Slot:
EMP Grenades - The radius is smaller than average, though a series of periodic pulses extend the disruptive effect. This is mainly used to disable other units for a hasty escape, though it holds opponents in their place for more tactical long range purposes.
Shoulder/Back Spot:
Flak Gun - The gun is located between the shoulders and can be maneuvered to mount upon the torso. The scrap it projects can deal massive damage to anything in it’s line of fire.
Gadget Slot:
4-Arm Grappling Hooks - Two panels on each side of the torso give way to two pairs of grappling hooks, used not only for extra maneuverability, but for a steady grip on opponents.
Stats Scale
Light/Heavy Body:
Eris’ body is lightweight for the sake of agility and speed. It was made to dash gracefully through combat and evade hits, while still balancing just enough weight to maintain decent stability. (3)
Accuracy & Tracking/Firepower:
As the main ranged power stems from the shotgun, Eris’ strength easily lies in its firepower. When stable enough to draw it out, Olympia could shoot holes through crowds with it. (9)
Air Mobility/Thrusters:
Eris’ form allows for above average speeds, allowing it the ability to pass ahead of most opponents. (7)
Solo/Skirmisher:
Olympia has no problem working with associates, but Eris is designed to work alone. It’s speed and intense firepower make it efficient for solo combat. (1)
Flavour Text:
This unit was a gift, given to Lieutenant Flint Sampson upon his promotion. Known for dashing head first into combat alongside his men, he was awarded a mecha befitting of his vigorous methods. Unfortunately, rushing into a bad deal in his conventional fashion didn’t prove to be a wise decision.
