[hider=Zim Hero] [b]Name:[/b] Zim Hero, Nickname is Zero. [hider=Appearance] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/56/20/05/562005bf0d1f54defdc9f6b41801c665.jpg[/img] Hero stand a diminutive 4'9", but is built like a fortress. His body has been tempered towards high gravity situations, perhaps this is part of the reason that he is so short. High gravity planets, tending to stay hotter on average then most other planets, Hero keeps his head shaved habitually. When the stubble does begin to show through, it grows in pitch black, just as his dark unkempt eyebrows project. Below these black lines are piercing ice-blue eyes. The high gravity life he has lived thus far has made his bone structure extremely dense, giving him and anyone else from his home planet a much stronger frame, and his muscles are also just as compressed, giving way to much higher definition of his anatomy. From sunken eye sockets, to raised cheekbones, and a prominently dimpled chin, Hero has an otherwise chiseled complexion. On his right shoulder is a tattoo of a black star, an un-tattooed line flies through it, giving the viewer an impression that it is meant to be a falling star. Otherwise his body is riddled with scars from his hard life and his previous encounter with the Cruxi. There is a burn on his left hand that has permanently left his otherwise pale skin a deep red. The burn encompasses his entire hand and runs raggedly up to his elbow. On the right side of his chest there is a scar from a puncture wound, with a matching scar on his back were the impaling spike exited his body. [/hider] [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Experience:[/b] 100% (114) [b]Synchronization Rate:[/b] 72.5% [b]Personality:[/b] Hero is a relatively level headed individual, the hard life on his home planet left little joy in him. He is serious in all things that he does, and has little patience for stupidity, naivety, ignorance or arrogance. He is, however, very respectful to everybody he meets unless you have made a particular effort to cross him. The closest thing to humor for Hero is sarcasm, but it is generally intended as an underhanded insult. The Cruxi are about the only thing that he shows an overly aggressive personality towards. [b]Background:[/b] Hero comes from a planet that is known as Fortress. The planet's upper atmosphere was unique in that it reflected much of the heat away from the planet despite its close proximity to the systems star, putting it much closer in comparison to what is generally considered the 'Hospitable zone.' In addition to this, the planet is surrounded by debris from a long destroyed moon, making approach from outside rather difficult. It did not take long before this debris field was rigged up to be controled to make entrance and exit easier when needed or nearly impossible when needed, valuable resources have long since been mined from the debris field, and synthetic weapons platforms have replaced many of the debris that have been destroyed or mined out of usefullness. Despite protection from above, life on this high gravity planet was harsh, the heat made it very difficult for most fauna to florish on the planet surface. Most of the food from the planet comes from synthetic sources, or is removed from subterrainian growth veins. At twenty he moved off planet with an exploration and settlement team and found himself on a planet near the outer ring of planets. The planet hardly had a name before the Cruxi came. When they did, they didn't just destroy the settlements to reclaim the world for their own, rather they destroyed the entire planet itself. Hero was lucky in that he was on a topigraphical scan at the moment from a satilite oribter. Debris from the planet made the orbiter unusable, including a large piece of debris from another satilite orbiter punctured the cabin and impaled Hero. It was due to the self-sealing nature of his space suit that he survived. It sealed the suit against the vacuum, and sealed the jagged pole into Heros skin, stopping the bleeding. The force kept him moving through space for three days before his pod was found by a merchant freighter and transported him to the nearest planet. [b]Notable Deaths:[/b] His family all remained back home on Fortress, and his personality made making friends difficult. However the person he was closest too, he quietly reveared as his brother. His name was Fleck Jawstone and was a ship navigator on the expidition ship that brought him to the new planet. Hero regrets not being more open with him.

Primary Weapon System 1: [hider=Thermal Scythe] [img]http://gundambuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/img-ms-gundam-deathscythe-hell.jpg[/img] The Thermal scythe has a pair of super heated blades that can be deployed when activated and can be turned to face different directions or point straight out of the staff like a spear head. This puts the Black Star in a relatively close combat position, but gives him reach over most other melee combat frameworks. [/hider] Primary Weapon System 2: [hider=Wave Surger] [img]https://brianandrew.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/saimecha_guren-mk2.png[/img] Equipped over the left hand. This oversized hand has several functions. First, it has a built in energy source that can emit extremely powerful microwaves that can be used to destroy what ever part of an opponent it grabs hold of. Secondly, if given time to charge (two turns, firable on third turn), it can shoot out a prolonged energy beam allowing Black Star to make a sweeping motion and hit several targets, or keep it on one target that may have more durable armor, requires a cool down after use (two turns to cool down). Thirdly, it can be launched from the fore-arm for a short ranged distance with the intent of using the first function at a range. The Wave Surger can be re-equipped once recovered, requires a turn before usable again for the system to reinstall. [/hider] Secondary Weapon System 1: [hider=Armor Wings] [img]http://www.gunjap.net/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/a10.jpg[/img] A set of armor wings that fold out of the way during combat for easier maneuverability, or fold down and add an extra layer of protection during blitz maneuvers to break through front lines. [/hider] Secondary Weapon System 2: [hider=Active Cloak] [url]https://youtu.be/nWWOdDgxhwE[/url] More of an upgrade to the system of the Armor Wings. Active cloak has two modes. The first makes Black Star virtually invisible to electronic surveillance and radar, however it can still be seen by the naked, organic eye. This stealth mode is only usable while the armor wings are closed. The second mode, decoy mode, is the exact opposite in that it makes the appearance of three Black Stars, this shows up on radar this way as well. Again, this does not effect the naked eye. This mode can be used with armor wings closed or opened. Both modes work on both friend and foe scanners. [/hider] [b]Weight Class:[/b] Medium weight. Other than the armor wings adding much heavier armor, the Black Star is relatively lightly armored for faster maneuverability in combat.

Provides extra 3 movement.[/hider] [hider=ATS][img]http://media.gettyimages.com/videos/green-hud-animation-hd-video-id100965868?s=640x640[/img] Automated Targeting System, used for choosing the right weapon for the right target, acquires targets automatically and assists with aiming. Passive System. If equipped, provides the ability to use two weapons in a single turn, or a single weapon after dashing. These weapons can be used on the same target or separate targets.[/hider] [hider=Omnirifle (not equiped for this mission)][img]http://www.dundjinni.com/forums/uploads/Eryiedes/E_Deus-Ex_Sniper_Rifle.png[/img] Long Range rifle with interchangeable clips, can fire as a rail gun, emp, or use plasma projectiles, depending on configuration. Each clip holds 30 rounds, one clip each. Only enough capacity for two clips. Omnirifle has a range of 5 for rail gun, 2 for plasma, and 4 for EMP. Requires a turn to swap ammo. Rail gun and EMP rounds equipped. [/hider] [hider=Shield Barrier][img]http://peekand.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Reinhardt-Barrier.jpg[/img] Energy Shield that projects a large field in front of the werk. Provides enough coverage for two addition werks. Attacks from the friendly side are unhindered. Once the shield is exhausted it takes 3 turns to recharge. If equipped, grant a hand-held device that activates an energy shield with a considerable resistance to damage that is lesser than Paladin's shield. Allows protection of self + two other Framewerks. Hand-held weapons may not be used while activated. [/hider] [hider=Tidal Surge Battery][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/codegeass/images/a/af/Zangetsu_-_Radiation_Wave_Based_Shielding.png/revision/latest?cb=20091124150747[/img] An addition to the Wave Surger. A pre-charged battery designed designed to make firing of the Wave Surger faster, reducing the required charge time for three shots of mode two down to one turn of cool down. After the third use the mechanism is simply extra weight and will automatically eject from the Wave Surger.[/hider] [/hider]
