And here's my canon character. Some changes did occur with him, his mech and the organization he works for. That's all due to the merging dimensions. [IMG]http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/9/139801.jpg[/IMG] [B]Name:[/B] Sousuke Sagara [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Age:[/B] 18 [B]Height:[/B] 176 cm (5'11") [B]Weight:[/B] 72 kg (159 lbs) [B]Affiliation:[/B] Mithril [B]Rank:[/B] Sergeant Major [B]Special:[/B] None [U][B]Biography[/B][/U] TBA [U][B] Equipment[/B][/U] - [I]Pilot Suit[/I]: Arm-Slave pilots of Mithril are all outfitted with the latest generation of ballistic suits. They help to off-set G forces, cushion shock or falls and were even deigned to offer limited protection against fire, blades and small arms. The suit has an enclosed and bulkier exospheric variation which allows the pilot to even survive in space. - [I]Glock-19X[/I]: Pistol created for and standardized by Mithril. It's an upgraded version of the old Glock-19C with ID-lock feature, wireless link to the pilot suit's enhanced HUD and the option to use programmable bullets. The latter are standardized ammo for Mithril soldiers with multiple potential roles, allowing Sousuke to choose which type suits the situation the best. - [I]Steyr UGX[/I]: Full name: Steyr Universal Gun X. This is an assault rifle created by Steyr Mannlicher with shape resembling the old Steyr AUG. It has bullpup design, ID-lock, direct HUD link and programmable bullets. The UGX is also highly customizable and can be easily altered to receive 4 different calibers. There are several potential add-ons like bipod, barrel extension and corner-shoot features. Steyr UGX is rarely used by pilots and mostly seen carried by the Primary Response Team when they're on field duty. - [I]Grenades[/I]: PRT and in a more limited number SRT pilots like Sousuke carry various grenades like smoke, flashbang, incrediary and fragmentation grenades. The latter received a serious upgrade with the intelligent blast feature. Using IFF the grenade can shape the blast in a way to ignore nearby allies and only kill hostiles. - [I]LAW-2E Anti-MS System[/I]: Massively upgraded version of the ancient M72 LAW, this is a light and easily portable anti-armor missile launcher with surprising power. With precise aim it's plausible to cripple or even to mission-kill a standard Mobile Suit. Albeit the missile doesn't have the sufficient power to pose much threat to Gundams or above. As cautious as ever, Sousuke always has at least one LAW-2E hidden within the cockpit. [IMG]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090218131922/fullmetalpanic/images/1/1e/ARX-7.jpg[/IMG] [B]Name:[/B] ARX-7 Arbalest [B]Manufacturer:[/B] Anaheim Electronics & GeoTron Electronics (collaborative) [B]Type:[/B] 3.5rd Generation Arm-Slave (Real Robo) [B]Height:[/B] 8.5 meters [B]Weight:[/B] 22.7 metric tons [B]Armor Component:[/B] Gundarium γ [B]Powerplant:[/B] Ross & Humbleton APR 2500C Palladium Reactor [B]Maximum Operation Time:[/B] 150 Hours [B]Stats:[/B] [LIST] [*][B]Strength:[/B] 30 (50)[/*] [*][B]Armor:[/B] 30[/*] [*][B]Firepower:[/B] 30 (50)[/*] [*][B]Performance:[/B] 30[/*] [*][B]Maneuverability:[/B] 40 (60)[/*] [*][B]Energy Output: [/B]40[/*] [*][B]Sensors:[/B] 50[/*] [/LIST] [U][B]Description[/B][/U] TBA [U][B]Weapons[/B][/U] [U]Fixed Armaments[/U] - [I]AM11 Chainguns[/I]: Pair of 12.7mm chainguns housed in the Arbalest's head. Used against infantry, missiles and light vehicles. - [I]GeoTron GRAW-2S Monomolecular Cutter[/I]: High-quality vibroblade with extremely sharpened edges. GRAW-2S (Sonic) also incorporated the AEU's sonic blade technology, increasing its power and allowing to block beam sabers. The Monomolecular Cutter is stored in an electromagnetic scabbard on the back. - [I]Royal Ordinance M1108E Anti-Armor Daggers[/I]: Throwing dagger filled with a powerful shaped charge, penetrating armor with both force and the strength of the explosives. The Arbalest carriers 5 of these. Four stored in the hip containers and one held in the mecha's "mouth". - [I]Grenade Containers[/I]: Found near to the mecha's shoulders there are a pair of containers used to hold grenades. It can store various types of grenades like the Honeywell M1097 Frag or the MIP-B6 Cracker. They are potent against group of light or medium armored Mobile Suits but save for specialized variations they aren't particularly effective against Gundams and above. - [I]XM18 Wire Gun[/I]s: Hidden within the wrists the Arbalest has a pair of wire launchers, allowing it to grapple onto objects and reel itself up in order to climb or glide over obstacles. This weapon has next to none direct combat applications. Maximum wire length is 500m. - [I]EEF-201X Tasers[/I]: Non-lethal anti-personnel weapons hidden in the mecha's fingers, capable of launching electrified wires over a short (40m) distance. Used to capture hostiles on foot for future interrogations. - [I]Dummy/Adhesive Launchers[/I]: A different section of the Arbalest's wrists also have the option to shoot inflatable dummy mechs to confuse the enemy. The balloon-mechs have special stabilizers to stand realistically on the ground and covered by paint which mimicks the heat and radar image of the Arbalest. Each launcher can hold 3 dummies at maximum. The other half is occupied with the adhessive launcher, it shoots a rapid-binding adhesive for hasty repairs and has space for 10L in each wrist. Both of these arms are non-lethal and have rather short (20m) range. [u]Optional Armaments[/u] - [I]Oto Melara 57/46 "Boxer" Shotgun[/I]: Small-caliber howitzer which esentially fills in the role of shotgun for Arm-Slaves. The smoothbore barrel can fit various ammunitions including: APFSDS, APBC, HE, HESH, Flechette, Cluster, Grapeshot and even non-lethal rounds. Its versatility and sheer stopping power made this Sousuke's preferred weapon in combat which he kept even after Mithril acquired beam rifles. [URL=http://gginfinite.com/images/D/d-324-03.jpg]Image[/URL] - [I]GEC-B Assault Rifle[/I]: Rapid-firing weapon shooting physical projectiles. The comparatively small bore (40mm) to the more standard Anti-MS calibers is compensated by advanced design and multi-stage acceleration. The weapon is only effective against light to medium armored targets and in the proces of getting phased out by the new Beam Carbines. [URL=http://gginfinite.com/images/D/12-06.jpg]Image[/URL] - [I]BOWA BC-M-87SE03 Beam Carbine[/I]: Scaled down more energy efficient beam rifle from Anaheim Electronics, specially made for Mithril's demands. The Beam Carbine is small enough to be carried by Arm-Slaves and still packs enough punch to compete with a standard beam rifle. Unfortunately the smaller size resulted in halved acceleration coil length, reducing the Beam Carbine's range to only quarter of the original. The Beam Carbine can shoot 50 times before depleting its slightly oversizes E-Pack. The Arbalest usually carries two spare E-Packs during missions. [URL=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130308122522/gundam/images/d/d4/Rgz-91-beamrifle.jpg]Image[/URL] - [I]Bofors ASG96-C Sniper Gun[/I]: Relatively large caliber (76mm) L/111 cannon used for sniping. For this purpose it utilizes high-velocity multi-stage sabot ammunition edged for range and superior penetration. It's a venerable and well-tested gun in Mithril's arsenal. In spite of that the organization already has talks with Anaheim Electronics for a potential beam-based replacement. [URL=http://gginfinite.com/images/D/4-22.jpg]Image[/URL] - [I]Houghs VGM-A2(M) Multi-Missile Launcher[/I]: 9-tube launcher shooting "Versile II" all-purpose missiles. True to their name the missiles can be programmed to various targeting and blast modes thus potentially filling the role for anti-air, anti-armor or saturation bombardment. Each tube can hold two missiles, 18 total. [URL=http://gginfinite.com/images/D/1-17.jpg]Image[/URL] - [I]Raytheon Javelin K1 Bazooka[/I]: Large, cumbersome but also powerful and versatile missile launcher used against the most fortified targets. It can launch HE, HEAT, UHVAP and various other missiles. It's technically capable of even using nuclear warheads but they're outlawed by the Grenada Peace Treaty. [URL=http://gginfinite.com/images/D/10-08.jpg]Image[/URL] [U][B]Notable Features[/B][/U] - [I]Electronic Camouflage System (ECS)[/I]: System of lasers that disrupt electromagnetic waves thus reducing the Arm-Slave's radar and heat signal considerably. In addition ECS can be also used to create a holographic screen, effectively rendering the mecha invisible. The only drawback of this system that it requires low particle concentration otherwise the system short-circuits. This makes it sensible to rain and high concentration of dust. - [I]Fairy Eye[/I]: Standard equipment of Mithril's Arm-Slave ever since of the mysterious fuse of worlds about 2 years ago. Fairy Eye is a system to watch gravitational fluctuations and supernatural phenomena, allowing the detection and clean observation of supernatural powers. When encountering such opponent Mithril operatives can plan with far more precision. - [I]Lambda Driver[/I]: Special system that essentially turns the user's willpower into energy which can be then used for various purposes. With the Lambda Driver Sousuke can erect barriers, unleash waves of destructive psychic energy or suddenly boost the mech's speed and power. The actual mechanism of this system is top secret and not even Sousuke is aware of its exact workings. Having almost 2 years of experience with the Arbalest, Sousuke had already mastered the use of Lambda Driver. [U][B]Signature Moves[/B][/U] - [I]Magic Bullet[/I]: Sousuke can focus the Lambda Driver's energy into his next shot, unleashing a projectile coated in psychic energy. - [I]Raging Wave[/I]: Sousuke gathers the Lambda Driver's energies into the Arbalest's fist and delivers a punch in the air. Soon thereafter a wave of psychic energy rushes toward the target to tear it into pieces. This technique has somewhat limited range (50m) but it's powerful and Sousuke also learned how to control the wave enough for it to avoid harming friendly units.
