pilot
Name: Calri Cross
Species: Honey badger
Sex: Male
Appearance: Calri has mostly black fur, with bright, sandy yellow fur running from the top of his head, down to the end of his tail. He is not an exceptionally tall man, but holds the image of a bulky body, with limbs that completely refuse to taper off. Depending on the time of day, his face is generally either tired or scowling.
Personality: Calri is a confident man, completely secure of his quality of life. It’s clear that he has embraced his occupation as it is his, “Chance to be exceptionally mean to people and not get arrested in the process.” Overall, he’s relatively calm, both in and out of battle.
Bio: As a child, Calri lived in a decent neighborhood with his mother, his father earning a steady pay as a foreman at a nearby factory. This factory, which originally produced train cars, eventually had its production switched to made-to-order combat walkers. The factory was his first experience with the war machines and, fascinated by them, found what he assumed to be his calling in life. He gathered several of his like-minded friends and, together, they all enrolled once they were of age.
Calri was the only one out of his group of friends that managed to graduate the pilot’s academy. He’s since become an experienced pilot, savvy in the kinds of maneuvers others will perform in virtually any situation.
Specialties: Prediction, ambush tactics, and getting in the other guy’s way.
walker
Model Name: BR-0 “Boxer”
Model Class: Heavy
Primary Role: Main Battle Walker, being a big target.
General Information: The BR-0, nicknamed the, “Boxer,” for its hunched forward, guarded appearance, is a current generation walker made to replace the SI-5. Both heavily armed and armored, the Boxer and its predecessors and competitors were made to fill the gap between the walking, turret-like, superheavyweight walkers and the less resilient medium class of walkers. At its heart, the Boxer is a medium walker that has traded a bit of its speed for bigger guns and thicker armor that allows it to effectively trade blows with opposing walkers and survive big hits.
While speedy for its class, the Boxer was not made with an impatient pilot in mind—the fights come to it, as opposed to the other way around. Because of this, the Boxer, while able to hold its own well enough in a duel, shines as the intimidating presence that trundles along to end whatever fight it might come across.
Appearance: The Boxer is bulky in a way that presents itself as larger than life. The humanoid legs are built out of chunky blocks of metal that rest forty-five degree angles, with large armor plates protecting the knee joins. Both feet have the shape of an elongated letter H.
The main body has a shallow wedge shape to it, with the camera ball set directly in the middle. The utility arms fold up to either side of the body, just below the mounting points of its main guns. The shoulders feature shields to protect the ammo that might be stored within its armament.
