[h3]-PILOT-[/h3][hider=Lora][i]"I'm still alive, and I can still fight. Shouldn't that be all that matters, at this point?"[/i] [b]Name:[/b] Lora Shinkai [hider=Appearance:] [img]http://i.imgur.com/B12EpVc.jpg[/img] (obviously not nearly as naked as this)[/hider] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Experience:[/b] 75% - Average level of experience for a pilot. Can perform basic actions such as running or shooting without fail, and may have the potential for more difficult maneuvers. [b]Synchronization Rate:[/b] 69% - The Framewerk moves and operates fairly naturally, responding well to controls and able to pull off more advanced tactics and actions. This state is the typical average of any Framewerk veteran, representing years of experience - falling here this early would be a gift. [b]Personality:[/b] Lora is unique for having a sort of deadpan confidence, seeming be reserved on the outside but in reality being very empowered and sure of her capability. Of course, she's not headstrong, either, and in fact proves to be rather patient. Off the field, she performs small efforts and tasks in hopes to play a little more than her part. Lora often appears rather blank-faced most of the time, and the most emotion she can be noted showing is largely in combat, as if she has some deep-seated feelings regarding the Cruxi (and boy, does she). [b]Motivation:[/b] Repel the Cruxi and ensure a better future for humanity. [b]Background:[/b] People who say that Lora went through hell don't realize that good people shouldn't go to hell. The young Lora grew on a colony somewhat on the farther reaches of human society. Her family was one of the most esteemed on that world, and not because they had luxury. No, it was because they shared their luxury, working to create and distribute new technologies to benefit the colonizing people and ensure what happened to Earth would not so easily repeat itself. Lora was exposed to this and more, and so learned the better qualities of life and what they meant. To say it all changed when the Cruxi appeared seemed cliche and inaccurate. Within 24 hours, it all disappeared - homes, families and lives alike. A still-young Lora and her younger brother were one of the few that managed to make it, of the single escape ship that managed to survive the ordeal. She wished she could stop crying, that after she cried all her tears, her voice went hoarse, and her heart ached the worst, it would stop. But the pain inside didn't stop. Lora practically begged to be enlisted in the project to weaponize Framewerks. She wanted so many things, but the only ones she could hope to get were revenge, and hope itself. She would gladly learn to take life if it meant no more had to suffer like she did. She would become stronger, far stronger than she was on that day of defeat, as strong as she needed to be to take down the enemy. And even if she died doing it, Lora was going to bring peace and happiness back to every last human who deserved it. [b]Notable Deaths:[/b] Pretty much anyone she was related to by blood - parents, grandparents, uncles and cousins - all except her younger brother. A couple of her close friends also didn't make it. [b]Other Things:[/b] People think that Lora doesn't show her emotions because she is very scarred inside. While they are partly right, she also represses her emotion to ensure she can remain stable during Framewerk combat. It works for the most part, but there are times where she can get a little loose.[/hider] [h3]-FRAMEWERK-[/h3][hider=Dynasty][b]Code Name:[/b] Dynasty [hider=Appearance:][img]http://img11.deviantart.net/3402/i/2012/132/a/4/cr_c89e_by_henry1025-d4zi36b.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Number of Systems:[/b] One Primary, One Secondary [b]Signature Weapons System:[/b] Dual Blaster Cannons - pretty much exactly as it says on the tin. A single blaster cannon is built to fire concentrated hard-light energy bolts for good stopping power and destructive potential. When one cannon was found to bear weak penetration and a meager firing rate, the issue was mostly circumvented by equipping one for each hand to double the effective output, though this resulted in a significant jump in weight and bulk. In case of emergency, one or both blasters may be discarded to remove such weight, allowing for a more expeditious retreat. [b]Secondary Weapons System:[/b] A light missile launcher mounted behind the right shoulder. The silo can hold two payloads of six High-Explosive Multi-Purpose missiles, primarily used for defensive means at closer ranges where the blaster cannons would be less feasible to use. [b]Weight Class:[/b] Light-Medium. The intent of the Framewerk as a free-range mobile striker was found to be compromised by the weight of its equipment, and so it was given additional armor and defensive suites to compensate. The base thrusters only just barely allow the Framewerk to hover over ground as a result, and while it does still bear a level of maneuverability other machines may lack, it only does so by a thin margin. [b]Special Ability:[/b] N/A[/hider]
