[b]Character Name:[/b] Rolen 'Razor' Razen (Also known as 'Ro' and 'R.R') [b]Age:[/b] 35 [b]Species:[/b] Wolverine [b]Appearance:[/b] [HIDER=Rolen] [img=http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m531/Stephen_Doyle/Forum%20Roleplay%20Stuff/f268c22f-7552-4801-9b87-ed5ae4bca439_zpsa8bf19d7.jpg] [/Hider] [B]Personality:[/B] Ro is, for the most part, confident, calm, open and enthusiastic. He is a happy kind of guy, with a lot of positive personality and a friendly disposition coupled with a smart sense of humour and a quietly intelligent and sharp wit. So much so, he often comes across as lacking in seriousness and is easy to take for a fool or a man lacking in depth or understanding. However, he is possessed of an extremely strong will and moral compass, and can be terrifyingly pragmatic and practical in combat, especially to those who have hurt him and those he cares for. In his own words, 'good ain't always nice, and sometimes good men have to do bad things'. He has a strong sense of fun and good humour, and loves to relax with friends and colleagues, of which he has many of both. He does have something of a temper, especially being short in patience with 'red tape' and anything that holds back his ability to act when lives are at stake, or there is anything he thinks he can do (even if it's not the case). He is probably more intelligent than he realizes, and could be more so if he dedicated himself - however, he is very much a man of actions and results, rather than the biggest of bigger pictures. [B]Personal History:[/B] Rolen didn't have an especially remarkable early life - he grew up in a relatively well-to-do suburb of Ourvan, and lived a mostly nomal childhood. His family didn't have a strong tradition of military service, but he had relatives who had served, and enjoyed hearing their stories. As such, he decided the LDF was for him, and joined after taking a sponsorship through college, where he studied international politics among other subjects. After graduation with average but passing grades, he was recommended for GEAR pilots' school, and showed excellent prowess as a pilot, despite occasional clashes with superiors and other classmates with more aggressive personalities. He was in fact placed in suspension for four days after breaking another cadets' arm, after he caught them harassing a female candidate. After the investigation revealed that the cadet who's arm had been broken had been attempting to assault the female cadet, the charges were quietly dropped, but the mark still remained, and it left a bad taste in Rolens' mouth. After graduating from pilots' school, he served in a tactical GEAR unit, and made some distinction for his skill and ability in combat and ingenuity in solving problems, as well as a straightforward approach to combat. He earned medals for distinction in service and for the rescue of innocent lives, before rotating back into an Operational Test Unit, testing out new technology in combat situations. This later lead him into the world of black ops, and he became a covert operative with the LDF's 'Blackwerx' units, where he remains to this day. [b]Personal Weapons and Equipment:[/b] Normally carries a folding knife and a compact pistol when in civilian clothing and permitted to carry weapons. If on a 'standard' (i.e. non-covert) op, will carry a sub-machine gun, or carbine rifle and associated combat gear when out of the cockpit. Normal GEAR pilots helmet, harness, and survival equipment, plus other expected accessories (water bottle, comms, etc.) [B][U]Mecha Sheet[/B][/U] [b]GEAR Name & Serial Number:[/b] GGU-98X 'Jester' [B]Appearance:[/B] [HIDER=Jesterr] [img=http://www.gundammad.co.uk/images/D/jesta3.jpg] [/HIDER] [B]Role:[/B] A special purpose modification of a general-issue, high-performance combat GEAR, the Jester is optimized for its' Special Forces and Special Operations role. Designed to be as tough and resilient as possible for extended operations and combat in the field, the Jester is a step above the standard issue [i]Harlock[/i] of the LDF. [B]Normal Loadout:[/B] 2 x Head-mounted 7.62mm Miniguns 1 x High-vibration Kukri-style knife 1 x Shield with built-in smoke/decoy launchers 1 x hand-held 30mm GEAR special-operations-model assault rifle/autocannon Hardpoints carry a variety of other weapons or equipment bundles. Usually mounts all-purpose quad-rack of missiles and an automatic grenade-launcher or heavy cannon. Weapons changed depending on projected mission and threats. When disguised in 'civilian mode' shell, no normal weapons are usable other than the head guns [B]Other Systems & Equipment:[/B] 'Civilian Mode' shell of ejectable armour and functional salvage equipment and components (winch, tools, etc) that can be used to perform salvage role as cover, and also for combat engineering purposes. The GEAR cannot use ant weapons in this disguise, though it can be ejected in emergencies. Reattaching it takes several hours in a workshop. The Jester can mount an optional 'flight booster' for short-range flight, and an 'aqua booster' for amphibious operations. Additionally, if heavy combat is expected, optional heavy armour can be attached as an external shell, with support for heavier weapons systems, but greatly reduces mobility. Additional systems include: Chaff/flare/smoke dispensors Searchlights Full-spectrum sensor system Laser designator/com system [B]Other notes:[/B] The Jester is a tough machine. The original models were rebuilt from hand-picked 'low hour' [I]Harlocks[/i], and then re-constructed with the best components and systems available, or custom-designed components and systems. These proof-of-concept models were the benchmark for the later limited production run of 88 models, built from hand-picked [i]Harlocks[/i] off of the production line, or from models in reserve storage with good maintenance histories. The GEARs were stripped down to the frame, and then almost all components from the UHD and computer core upward were replaced. Modernized versions were installed with an eye toward improving power and weight efficiency, control response, processing power, operating time, and other performance characteristics. Additionally, the new systems installed included sound deadening systems on all joints, infra-red suppression systems, radar-absorbent and low-reflection paint and materials and other such 'stealthy' systems. Further to this, the Jester was also equipped with modular and hard-wearing components that could be easily swapped and replaced in the field, allowing the GEAR to be operated for long periods away from a base or large repair facility. Similarly, its' hardpoints and stores management and targeting system software are compatible with the full range of LDF ordnance and equipment, as well as a wide array of other manufacturers and nations' weaponry and equipment, to allow for maximum flexibility.
