[hider=Robert 'Rob' Guilloux] [h2]Robert 'Rob' Guilloux[/h2] [b]Nicknames:[/b] Rob, Frenchie, Tech [b]Age:[/b] 22 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Social Status:[/b] EU Knightmare Specialist/Engineer [b]Appearance:[/b] Standing at 5'10 and weighing 160lbs, Robert is above average physically and, if his bear hugs and attitude are anything to go by, is unaware of this. He has dark black hair and light grey eyes, an unknown fact do to the thick eyeglasses he wears almost constantly. Rob typically wears an oversized lab coat, white t-shirt and brown khakis, both in public and in private. While he owns a jumpsuit for use in Knightmare, he rarely wears it do to his lack of Knightmare piloting experience. Said jumpsuit is light grey with black highlights. Rob carries a notebook and pen constantly, taking notes and doodling whenever he has the chance, treating it as both a research journal and a diary. He rarely shaves, leaving a constant stubble etched across his features. [b]Personality:[/b] Those who do not know him personally would describe him as an eccentric, dramatic, and annoying annoying brat. He typically brags about his intellect and will use big words, even if he has no idea what they mean. Those who know him on a deeper level, however, are aware that he is a complete mess, doing his best to avoid people's criticism and seeking the approval of anyone who gives him the time of day. Rob places immense value on his intellect, what he believes to be his only positive quality. He originally did not care about the Britannian Empire, developing his anger towards them upon seeing how non-Britannians were treated. The main reason he decided to join the military was to protect his younger brother, Jean, from discrimination. Rob, despite acting like a big-shot, does not enjoy direct confrontation, preferring underhanded and cheap tactics. He obsesses over Knightmares, and is intimidated when there is a more advanced unit facing him. Rob does not enjoy taking risks, and will urge others to take the 'safe-bet'. He spends hours every day either working out, or studying Knightmares, believing that an advanced enough unit would be able to protect him from the enemy. Rob believes that all people are at least somewhat evil and will attempt to protect and enrich their lives by any means necessary. He is much more laid back then most and, when his trust has been secured, is a very reliable source of wisdom and advice, cultivated by his time raising his brother alone. Rob believes that his life is less important to others, due to the fact that he has considered suicide before. If it means that he is able to protect a friend or ally, he will use anything he has at his disposal. Rob has seen the effect that the Black Rebellion had on Britannia, which made him begin to appreciate tactics and strategy. He does not believe in the supernatural, instead believing that technology is the strongest force on earth. [hider=History] Born in Amiens, France, Robert 'Rob' Guilloux was born to a middle class family. Considering the fact that his mother was thought to be infertile, Rob was showered by love from his parents. Despite his families status, he lived in a poorer part of the city, where he was bullied incessantly. This slowly developed into a crippling self loathing that persist to this day. His father, an alcoholic, spent much of his income on cheap booze. This led to angry outbursts throughout the house, further fueling Rob's fear of interaction. As the outside forces of his life continued to harass him, Rob began to lock himself in, hiding from the threat of people. This lifestyle continued throughout his childhood, and eventually led to his almost obsessive attitude towards research. It was a cold day in March when his mother once again had a miracle child. A small boy, barely 5 pounds, was brought back to the Guilloux home that day. Rob originally intended to ignore and abandon the child, just as he did the world, when things began to change. His father got his act straight and went sober. His mother, who had been having an affair at the time, changed her ways and remained loyal. Even the bullying, which had been a constant throughout Roberts life, had died down slightly, or at least it felt like it did. This led to the only supernatural belief that Robert has ever held: This child was a blessing from god. Robert spent every second he could around Jean, nursing him with formula, changing his diapers, and even sleeping next to him. He idolized the infant and did his best to help Jean grow. As the child grew, so did Robert's adoration, which was eventually returned in the form of love from Jean. By the time Jean had turned 5, the brothers were inseparable. This was also the time that the Invasion of Japan had begun. Robert, like all people throughout the world, knew of Britannia. It was the largest empire in the world, and was also the technological powerhouse. The Invasion of Japan, however, opened Robert's eyes to the horrors and power that Britannia held. The Glasgow was the first Knightmare Frame that Robert had ever seen, and it was the machine that infatuated Robert with the weapon. A towering machine of steel and power, capable of easily destroying conventional weapons. Robert spent hundreds of hours looking trough every available source, analyzing everything he could about the Knightmare frames. It wasn't until the newly named Area 11 was captured that Rob discovered the horrible treatment of the Elevens. Britannia was one of the most brutal empires in the entire world, and placed a large importance on bloodline. Those that were not Britannian were treated as scum to the nobility and commoners of Britannia. Rob knew that the EU was one of the only Countries that could stand up to Britannia and stand a chance, so, in order to protect Jean, he decided to join the military. He spent the next two years exercising and studying, all in the hopes of keeping the Britannian presence out of the EU. At the age of 16, he left his for Paris, the capital of the EU, in hopes of being accepted to a prestigious military academy. Thanks to his hard work and countless sleepless nights spent studying, he managed to enter the academy as a Knightmare specialist. After another two years of hard work, he graduated the academy with numerous scholarships awaiting him. He denied all of them, and quickly joined into the military as a Knightmare Frame Specialist. In the next four years, he could count the number of times he was in combat on a single hand. During his four years in the military, he garnered much respect due to his research, and was selected to join a team assembled to wrest Britannian control over Area 11, the W-1 Task Force. He was to be sent as a member of an elite team, which had the potential to change the entire world. No pressure.
