Appearance: Selvariabell is taller and more figured than most Asians due to her rich diet and enhancement supplements, has artificially dyed pink hair.
Personality: At first glance, Selvariabell appears to be your run-of-the-mill rich party girl, promiscuous, social, spoiled, amoral, and playful. But she is more than what her playgirl facade gives, she is in fact a good soldier with excellent PT scores, above-average IQ, and a strict adherence to discipline. She is honest and straightforward, preferring to be blunt than be a backstabber. Her favorite hobbies are partying, swimming, and diving.
Skills: Selvariabell is an experienced pilot, serving different theatres since graduation. Her experience as part of her school's swimming team, as well as her service in the PDF and EFMC, made her an excellent swimmer. Surprisingly, she is good at making coffee and tea, thanks to her experience as part-time barista.
Weakness: As a party girl, Selvariabell can be promiscuous and short-tempered, especially when drunk, where most of her decency and patience are shed, fortunately she has a very high drinking tolerance. Can be blunt on things, traits, or people she dislikes (especially Holly and Eun Mi). And while an open book, her loyalty is questionable due to the fact that she is from the Philippines, a Federation member-state sympathetic to the Arc Union, made even worse by the fact that she is the daughter of the President of the Ibiza Conglomerate, a Filipino arms manufacturer making weapons for both Earth Federation and Arc Union, and is rumored to be designing and making mechs for the latter. While not Sinophobic, she hates the Chinese Communist Party and PLA with passion.
History: Born and bred in Makati district in Manila, Philippines, Selvariabell is the youngest daughter of Namgung Min Hyuk, the ambassador of the Federal Republic of Korea to the Philippines, and Katherine Ibiza, president of the Ibiza Conglomerate, one of the largest arms manufacturers in the Far East. Selvariabell grew up being a trouble child, a spoiled brat with very little attention from her parents. Eventually her parents had enough of her troublesome behavior, and cut her extravagant allowance, as well as send her to the military for discipline. While initially redundant, Selvariabell joined the Philippine Defense Force, where she found an actual family which, while draconian, actually cared for her, she fell in love in the military, and decided to pursuit becoming a mech pilot, where she proved to be a natural. Her first frontline experience is the infamous Spratlys Crisis, where she had proven her discipline in the tense standoff. The PDF was absorbed to the regular EF Armed Forces after the crisis, where she is sent to multiple hotspots, racking experience along the way.
Designation: Saint Martha (A play on the variant acronym)
Appearance: An FAW-022 variant made by Ibiza Conglomerate specifically for Orbital Drop operations, Saint Martha is modular, allowing installation add-on packs for the mission (akin to Strike Gundam), as a custom. Aside from modularity and ODST capability, Saint Martha also has a significantly heavier armor and frame for a FAW-022, having comparable protection to FAW-014 and FAW-007 walkers. To compensate to the heavier weight, as well as the extreme shocks made by ODST drops, stronger servomotors were attached.
Armaments:
Schmidt & Kreiss Panzershutzengewehr Mk.03 80mm Sniper Rifle - A bullpup sniper rifle using 80mm caseless ammunition, capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 5, it is the primary firearm of the Saint Martha.
Federal Dynamics GAU-18 40mm Vulcan - A versatile CIWS using a 40mm multi-purpose round both for self-defense and anti-ground.
2x Federation Ballistics K11 Vibroblade Tanto - Tanto-style vibroblades serves as backup weapon when all else fails.
Ibiza Conglomerate Rotary Buckler - The buckler has retractable rotary rods that can offer better protection than the standard FAW-022 shield.
GDOTS Advanced Countermeasure System - Designed to combat anti-air systems, the GDOTS ACS is a state of the art protection system designed to better protect the steep investment that is a FAW-022 Raptor. Alongside standard chaffe and flare launchers, the GDOTS ACS also includes a short range ECM pod and a counter-launcher- essentially a miniature missile launcher, that detects oncoming heat signatures and launches guided munitions to counter and neutralize the oncoming threat.
Variable Missile Launcher System - Each of the Raptors' wings hold two hardpoints from which to launch munitions from, along with a hardpoint within a small munitions bay in the side fuselages, and two in the main bay within the fuselage- for a total of 8 hardpoints. The missiles vary and can be swapped out as the mission entails. Of its 8 hardpoints, only the two in the side fuselages can be used while in bipedal form.
AIM-150X Serpent Missiles - A common, but effective short-range missile launcher system used by the FAW-022. Loaded in clusters of 3 missiles per hardpoint, these fast, highly maneuverable AA missiles pack a surprising punch, able to make sharp turns, and capable of knocking most aircraft out of the sky with a single missile. Like most short range missiles, the AIM-150X uses a continuous rod warhead as opposed to a traditional explosive charge- expelling steel rods in a wide circle upon detonating, effecitvely tearing aircraft apart. While not particularly devastating when compared to an AGM, these fast locking guided missiles are more than capable of crippling an aircraft's flight capabilities, essentially spelling death for other fliers. Against ground targets, it is rather lackluster in damage when compared to other heavier missiles as a result of its type of charge, but is still serviceable against soft targets. Serpent Missiles are impact safe, allowing them to be safely carried under the wings.
AIM-210 Copperhead Missiles - An advanced long ranged missile system designed to be used from beyond visual range used by the FAW-022. Loaded as a single missile per hardpoint, these long range missiles lack the maneuverability of their smaller cousins, but are faster and more powerful. Easily capable of downing an Aerospace craft in a single hit- even a near miss can cripple a fighter. While its explosive charge is potent and can be used against ground targets, the lack of a shaped charge and a means to penetrate armor renders it ineffective against hardened ground targets. Copperhead missiles are impact safe, allowing them to be safely carried under the wings.
AIM-240/B Cobra Missiles - A robust Air-to-ground missile launcher system used by the FAW-022. Loaded as a single missile per hardpoint, these powerful AGM missiles pack a mean punch and are designed specifically for targeting ground armor, enemy walkers and other ground based assets. Like Serpent missiles, the Cobras are impact safe, allowing them to be safely carried under the wings.
H-770 Python ground attack rockets - A simple, yet effective air-to-ground dumbfire rocket system used by the FAW-022. Loaded as a hexagonal launcher sporting 12 rockets per hardpoints, these unguided rockets are designed to overwhelm enemy positions and defenses, softening them up for allies on the ground. While the explosive charge they carry is not enough to penetrate through modern armor, the rockets are still capable of disrupting or destroying external support systems, and even compromising said armor through continuous fire. The these rockets are impact safe, allowing them to be safely carried under the wings.
AIM-99 Hornet Swarm Missiles - A limited deployment swarm missile system used by the FAW-022. Loaded in a launcher unit sporting four missiles per hadrpoint, these short ranged, multi-purpose missiles are designed for a wide variety of targets, with varying effectiveness. The hornet missile is a high speed, highly maneuverable missile that splits into 4 micro-missiles upon reaching .5km of the target. These micro missiles fly in an erratic pattern, to avoid and confuse active point defense systems. The speed and number of the micro-missiles typically guarantees at least one or two of the warheads hit when faced with most traditional countermeasures- but is not infallible. Each individual warhead is has approximately 30% of the destructive force of a Copperhead or Cobra missile, and sports a small shaped charge and a tungsten penetrator. Like it's cousins, hornet missiles are impact safe while not in use.
A92X Javelin Pile Bunker - A modern day take on the traditional medieval knight's lance, this experimental weapon delivers potent, one use power to a single AW. Loaded on one of the wing hardpoints in place of a missile, the A92X is a multi-part pile bunker consisting of three main parts. The primary part is the lance tip itself, which consists of a superdense alloy tip with a bursting charge meant to penetrate armor. The main part is the lance head itself, which consists of a shaped explosive charge detonating shortly after penetration from the lance head itself. The final part of the Pile Bunker is the resuable lance handle, which serves as a base for additional lance hafts to be attached to.
Weakness: Better protection comes at a cost, Saint Martha is less maneuverable compared to other FAW-022s, making them only as maneuverable as FAW-014.
Character is fine, but the Federation doesn't presently have the technology to manufacture armor for Walkers like Tarasconium. Setting aside the lore issues of such an expensive technology being put into use at this stage, it's just not something the Federation can manage.
And from an OOC perspective, defensive capabilities like that aren't something I'm comfortable permitting on PCs at this time.
Eun Mi powers up her mech, making sure all systems are online. If it is a real attack, then it appears tha this is the FXW-035's trial by fire, a true test of its worth, as well as feedback for the eventual production. @Norik@Krayzikk@Crimmy
Mia powers up her sportbike, and rode like a maniac, taking shortcuts such as alleyways, away from traffic.
