However that is not her greatest talent.[/hider]
Her mother is one of those who competes in competitions in an IS, an accomplished pilot. It was her who got Emma into piloting an IS, a unique experience Emma loves more than any other. She would spend as long as possible flying any IS she was able to, such was her love. As a result, she grew to be exceptionally skilled at piloting and fighting within an IS suit. As a result, when the time came to determine who Canada's representative to the IS Academy would be, Emma was nominated. She fought in, and won, the tournament to determine the winner, and was awarded a personal IS, designed by Canada's top scientists. She has recently come to the IS academy, and is now a first year student.
Name of IS: Cold Gunner
IS specs: Gen 3
Shield Rating: 250
Speed Rating: 8/10,
Weaponry:
Frostbite MK.II - An Assault Rifle, shaped similarly to an American M16, the Frostbite is the primary weapon of the Cold Gunner. Discharging large projectiles at a rate of 300 RPM, the Frostbite is a perfect balance of firepower, accuracy and firing rate. The weapon uses rapid fire, 35mm slugs to punch through armor and shielding with max-rated efficiency
Avenger "Moose" MK. III Sidearm - The emergency go to weapon of the Gunner, the Moose is a high calibre sidearm. With a 40mm slug, it packs even more stopping power than the Frostbite. However, it is a semi-automatic, and requires more work to keep steady, and so is not anywhere near as fast, nor as accurate. However, getting hit by these rounds will not be pleasant.
Archer Missile Batteries - Mounted in the shoulders, the Archers serve as the long range attack of the Gunner. These launchers can mount a wide variety of missiles, though Emma's personal favorite are the Hydra 120mm missiles, heavy and guided. The 2 launchers both hold 30 missiles, allowing for an impressive 60 missile barrage, or a pair of smaller 30 missile barrages.
All in all, the Gunner is an ideal IS for ranged combat, but is helpless in melee combat, hence why it trades shield strength for speed, to enable it to dodge hits and get to a range where it can bring its firepower to bear.
