It is done. [Hider=Name: Gibraltar Blood-Render] [center][i][color=AFEEEE]"This world has only grown more deadly and dangerous, it is only fitting that I become more so myself..."[/color][/i][/center] [b]Alias/Nickname:[/b] Storm Breaker [b]Rank:[/b] Knight Captain [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Normal Apperance][img]http://img03.deviantart.net/3cdd/i/2014/226/e/8/cyntopia___cyborg_concept_art_by_saturnoarg-d7v62vn.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Mech Suit Equipped][img]http://www.digital-art-gallery.com/oid/16/640x828_4628_The_Mech_2d_concept_art_mech_illustration_vehicle_design_sci_fi_picture_image_digital_art.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Age:[/b] 68 [b]Race:[/b] Half-Orc (Human/Orc half breed) [b]Personality:[/b] Disciplined and honor bound. A harsh yet fair individual with the experience of more than a hundred battles under his belt. He is well respected among his soldiers and his leadership goes without question. Despite his discipline, brute force has always been his mistress and it has never failed him in successfully completing a mission. His cybernetic augmentations have further suppressed his emotions, making him more calculative and logical than his warrior heritage would let on. [b]Biography/history:[/b] A veteran of more than a hundred battles, Gerund earned his place with the price of blood and bodies. Once a normal man, he fought as a foot soldier, quickly climbing the ranks as his skill in warfare increased, his knowledge in tactics learned through battle and not books. As the years went on, war only grew more deadly and as more soldiers kept dying, Gibraltar took a long hard look at life; it was hell. His warrior's spirit never faltered, but he feared that one day he would not be strong enough to protect the people he lead and served. Gibraltar's stress had found him stumbling into a bar, ordering drink after drink as he crashed into some young woman's life. A loner by the looks of her, someone who didn't want the company, yet never turned the half-orc away from her, or at the very least tolerated his company. It didn't take long for his lips to loosen and for the man to confide in the young woman, a contemplative look on his face...After that night he was made the offer that would change his life forever. [i][color=firebrick]"Become a cyborg, you will be that much stronger and your life will be indefinite."[/color][/i] How could he refuse? When it came time for Gibraltar to sacrifice his body for the augmentations, he made no hesitation in his decision and underwent the surgery, transforming him from the already hulking 6'4"/260 lb (193 cm/104 kg) warrior into a 7'6"/410 lb (230 cm/185 kg) war machine. Training with his new body wasn't difficult, the augmentations were top notch and the genius mind behind them had calibrated them to a dime. It didn't take long for Gibraltar to return to the battlefield, a new warrior, stronger than ever before, and even though a machine masked the man, his soldiers never lost their respect for him. The young woman, Abiteth, he made his companion and aide, a friend outside the field of battle and if need be, someone he could rely on to lead in his stead. Two years, several battles, and much extensive testing later, Gibraltar would reenter the field with a fully powered and weaponized mech suit; The Model TS-62: Time Berserker. Unlike his cybernetics, the mech suit took longer to master, the warrior literally having to get used to his new 'second skin'. With time he was able to fully adapt to his mech suit, able to achieve walking and running speeds and fighting against both normal sized units and even some of the larger more nefarious creatures used in his virtual training. When he was finally able to rejoin the battlefield, his mech suit was an armored force unlike anything seen before, the pinnacle of armored combatant technology. [b]Reason for recruitment:[/b] Joined to help better the world and through his years of combat experience, lead and pass on knowledge to those who would come after and perhaps even surpass him. [b]Strength of Will:[/b] Unnatural Will [b]Magic:[/b] Channeled Magic (Force Magic: Lighting Element), Channeled through enchanted runes etched into his cybernetic augmentations, channeled magic can be further enhanced by drawing from his Mech's crystal power source. [b]God relations:[/b] N/A [b]Tech:[/b] [b]Cybernetic Augmentations:[/b] Most of Gibraltars physical body was replaced with synthetic and armored material, most notably his limbs, torso, spinal column and eyes. These augmentations have also been upgraded with a neural receiver that links directly with his mech suit, allowing him to use it as if it were his own body. The augmentations also come with a few handy features, such as a holo-tactical pad on his forearm, communication devices, a grappling hook device located in his wrist, and a last ditch 'Rocket Punch' in case a situation were to get hairy. [b]Model TS-62:Time Berserker Mech Suit:[/b] The suit is made out of a palladium and tungsten alloy, along with a few other trace metals. His suit's weaponry can be swapped to fit the needs of his situation, though more often than not he has equipped a rather large crystal blade and a heavy and thick plated tower shield. Other amenities to the suit include hydraulic pistons located in the back legs for support and a jet boot module more used to gain traction and achieve small jump heights rather than actual flight. Should the pilot need to leave the suit, his personal weapons are stored in canisters located in the suit's legs. If the suit is at risk of destruction, the pilot and his personal arsenal can be ejected. [hider=Current Arsenal] [i]Crystal Forged Blade[/i]A crystal, provided by Abiteth, said to have come from her homelands. Cut and forged to be an incredibly sharp weapon and an extremely potent catalyst for channeling spells. The blade itself is about 8' long and beveled with a double edge. Is attached to the mech's right arm, can extend and retract, though the blade is still visible even when retracted. [i][hider=Tower shield][img]https://s2.megabrandsmedia.com/catalog/parts/970823-4528.png[/img][/hider][/i] A tower shield made of the same material as the mech suit, about twice as thick as the hull plating, this is normally attached to the left arm. [i][hider=Mk IV Gauss Cannon][img]http://www.haloarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/H4-M68ALIM-GaussGun.png[/img][/hider][/i] A powerful cannon utilizing electromagnetic coils to accelerate projectiles towards their targets with extremely high kinetic force. This weapon can be mounted on the shoulder. [i][hider=Mk II 'Reaper' Autocannon][img]http://img05.deviantart.net/619c/i/2012/364/e/b/battletech___lb_x_autocannon_by_steampoweredmikej-d5prf5z.jpg[/img][/hider][/i] A fully automatic anti-personnel weapon, designed to fire 'shredder rounds' ammunition that, when it makes contact with a target, explodes, sending high velocity shrapnel in multiple directions. Normal sized units unfortunate enough to be hit by this ammunition are completely torn to shreds. This weapon can be mounted on the arm.[/hider] [b]Possessions/items/property:[/b] The Time Berserker is owned by Gibraltar, but Abiteth was its original creator. He is also in possession of... [i][hider=Orcish Cleaver][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/7a/bd/55/7abd552d67805001c22d33a8737e5d1a.jpg[/img][/hider][/i] An heirloom from Gibraltar's homelands and one of the few items he has insisted NOT to be upgraded. The weapon is essentially a hulking slab of metal, effective in the hands of an orc, even deadlier in the hands of a cyborg. He keeps this sword attached to his back via electro-magnetism which he can switch on and off at will. [i][hider=Orcish Handcannon][img]http://img09.deviantart.net/3a58/i/2010/067/7/0/30mm_handcannon_prototype_by_king_of_pirates.png[/img][/hider][/i]: A larger than normal hand cannon, quite a bit heftier too, fires similar 'shredder' rounds like his Auto cannon. [i][hider=Sedater Dart:][/hider][/i] It has been made aware to Gibraltar of Abiteth's...demonic tendencies. IF she can't willingly turn herself back, as a worst case scenario, Gibraltar has permission to use a special sedative provided by the young mechanic. This sedative is always on his person in the form of a dart shot in his wrist, and on his mech as a point-laser firing mechanism. [b]Skills:[/b] [i]Heart of the Warrior:[/i] War is his ally and death is his brother. In the battlefield, Gibraltar is home, and the enemies he cleaves in the name of his people, his soldiers, his leaders, only strengthen his resolve. Years of combat have honed this skill and those who witness him in action have given different descriptions. Some have called him a monster, while others would call him an artist. [i]Strength of the Wolf:[/i] Wolves hunt in packs, and Gibraltar understands this terminology better than anyone. Understanding the layout of the battlefield and his enemies, Gibraltar is able to direct his troops in such a way that through overwhelming numbers and firepower, victory is always within reach. [i]Determination of the Giant:[/i] In Orcish lore, Giants were said have bodies made of stone and a patience and will that outlived any enemy who sought to destroy them. Though his own body may not be made of stone, he has carried this ideal with him always in battle. Gibraltar has an incredibly potent determination when he sets his mind to something, he can out-wait his enemy, and strike at the perfect moment, death need not come so quickly to them, to him, or to his brothers in bloodshed. [i]Soul of the Mechanica:[/i] A new embodiment, or rather an extension of one that he has found in recent years. What kind of will does it take to make a man give up his flesh and blood? More importantly, his soul? Gibraltars will to keep moving forward, to strip away his own humanity, to become something...else, has never left his mind. The decision to give up his flesh and blood for metal and oil, is nothing he has ever regretted, but it is something he must never forget. Because of this, he has the willpower to continue fighting for what he believes in, and the will to pilot his mech unlike anything ever seen before in battle. Misc: Due to the nature of his suit, limbs or even the entire mech itself can be temporarily disabled by powerful enough magic users.[/hider]
