@Avatara Got it. I'll edit it later when I'm done running errands.

Once this gets checked and approved, I'll post it in CHAR.

Name: Sakuya Bowen

Age: 23

Specialty: Scout-Sniper

Origin: UEA native

Service: Five years of service in the UEA Mobile Armor Corps

Backstory: Growing up, Sakuya was always a rather sickly child. She was far too young to remember the war, but she remembered its affect on the people around her. Growing up in the countryside was dangerous sometimes, so Sakuya's father was quick to teach his daughter how to fend for herself, even if she was in a wheelchair. It was only due to a brand new (and morally questionable) medical procedure that Sakuya became healthy again. Wishing to follow in her father's footsteps, she joined the UEA's Mobile Armor Corps, where she excelled in her use with a rifle. She was eventually selected for Scout-Sniper training, and spent several years in the role with nothing going wrong... until two years ago. While investigating reports of a small UC force trespassing on UEA territory, she and her partner were ambushed, and only Sakuya returned alive, if requiring an extensive amount of medical procedures to bring her back from the brink of death. She volunteered for the second round of the Driver Program, and hasn't looked back.

Description: Usually calm, quiet, and observant, Sakuya has multiple issues that may or may not be related to the augmentations, namely recurring nightmares and night terrors. She is among the more professional of the Drivers, though she's not above being snarky or passive-aggressive towards her teammates.

Infantry Loadout: Argus-20 anti-materiel rifle (anti materiel rifle chambered in 20mm, effective against infantry, light armor, and equipment); Coppherhead Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) (close-mid range weapon, highly customizable for whatever mission is needed; effective range is roughly 100 meters, depending on attachments); combat knife; Tarnhelm-class exoskeleton (semi-powered armor utilized by scouts; in addition to providing physical protection and a small boost to physical abilities, Tarnhelm armor muffles the wearer's infrared signature, and is treated with a photoreactive compound that, when exposed to an electrical charge, bends light so the wearer is nearly invisible; this ability must be used sparingly, as it lasts only a short amount of time and requires a relatively long time to recharge)

Lancer Loadout: GSR Railgun Sniper Rifle (high-density rounds are propelled by electromagnetism faster than the speed of sound; sensors and cameras located near the front of the weapon smart-link directly to a Driver's HUD; built-in AI assists in lining up accurate shots); Ravager-class greatsword (slow and heavy, but delivers powerful blows, and can be used as a shield in a pinch); Inquisitor cathode pistol (Lancer-scaled handgun that fires electromagnetic energy); molecular knife (a last-ditch weapon that, with its ability to vibrate at extremely high frequencies, can cut most organic substances all the way down to the molecular level)

Driver Reference: Has trimmed her hair to regulation length and no longer needs a wheelchair, but still looks like this.

Lancer Reference: Norn Bravo; slightly smaller than the average Lancer (if only by a few meters), what Norn Bravo lacks in aerial combat ability (as it's limited to thruster-assisted jumps and gliding without an external module) it makes up for in stealth, tracking, and scouting capabilities

Ah, I see. So would this work for that old one?

Shattered Sky (A Mecha Sci Fi RP)

Will get to work on a CS soon. I did have an idea for my character's previous mecha (TL;DR, scout-sniper team), but I wanted to be sure that particular design fits in with the lore.

Original Mecha World?

@Avatara And what's the standard-issue Driver uniform? Something like a kind of armor (ie- Drivesuits from Pacific Rim), a sort of jumpsuit, some unique uniform, or standard fatigues?

Original Mecha World?

@Avatara Oh, out of curiosity, what kind of scale is your average Lancer, in terms of feet/meters/stories?

Original Mecha World?

Consider my interest piqued.

Taylor blinked in surprise. "I thought you said you weren't being followed?" the girl asked her. Her facial expression barely changed, though her tone carried a hint of irritation.

"I wasn't," Taylor said. "But this thunderstorm makes it hard to tell if that's true or not." She suddenly felt uneasy, and spoke to the man next. "I'm not wanting trouble either. I just wanted out of the rain. Had no idea there was anyone here."

"I forget to set up a tripwire once..." the girl muttered, and shook her head. "Look, I just want to be left alone. So stay until the rain stops, but--" She froze mid sentence. Taylor almost asked why, but she heard it through the rain after straining her ears: bells. Simple jingle bells, like one would hang on a Christmas tree, coming from where Taylor assumed was the back door. The girl quickly handed Taylor her weapons. "They're here."

How long had it been since the pack had had a decent meal? Weeks? Months? Living only off of small game like rodents had left them famished. The hatchlings had been devoured once things had gotten desperate. It was an act that had torn at their maternal and paternal instincts like a dagger to the gut, but it had been necessary for survival. More babies could be born, but only as long as the pack was healthy enough to lay eggs and rear the young.

Then came a new sensation to all but the oldest member of the pack: an overwhelming urge, as if drawn by a siren's song, to come and join the hunt. Overwhelming hunger made them throw all caution to the wind. Scents of raptors that would have normally made them wary barely triggered anything in their fight-or-flight response. The eldest member of the pack, an old female who was blind in one eye, knew this sensation. She had felt this before. She had answered this siren's call in the past.

Unlike the others in the pack, the old female knew what was in store, and who was calling them. She knew the dangers that waited, even after the one calling them was satiated. If it were possible, she would have taken her pack and led them in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, between how they were biologically wired and the pack's hunger, she knew that was physically impossible to do that now.

The old female could smell the humans now, as well as one of their vehicles. She started salivating. She may die, but her pack might very well survive and finally be able to eat. However, she also knew that the odds were against her pack making it to the end of the day.

"Whoever holed up here before me welded the back door shut," the girl went on, her tone quieting. "However, they didn't do anything about the doorknob. So I set it up so that if anything fiddled with it, I'd know." Taylor slung her rifle over her shoulder and readied her revolver. "They're going to go around to the front. They smelled us, they heard the bells."

"Any way out?" Taylor asked.

"There's rooftop access through the walk-in freezer. Up the ladder, then there's a fire escape."

"Not much good. Bigger breeds can jump up without much problem, and smaller ones can climb or fly to the roof." She glanced at the man. "Looks like you're holing up with us for a while." She heard a deep, barking call from outside. It was one of the larger breeds.

"Move!" the girl hissed at the two of them.

Better late than never. Since the gang's all here, we'll start up round one soon.
