This guy. Including the hair.

[B]Personality:[/B] He once entered the galley of the OSDT shouting if anybody had ordered a large ham...while holding a very large ham from the local supermarket. Needless to say, Jack has something of a larger than life personality. A warm smile that could thaw the chillest of hearts and a protective, fatherly attitude towards his teammates. Has something of a minor obsession with late 20th century America.

[B]History:[/B] Although of Norwegian stock, Jack was born and raised on Gerspenritter. As expected of one raised on a corporate colony he has worked for X-Corp in some form or another for most of his life. Starting as a mechanical engineer before showing surprising skill at piloting mecha and being transferred into the test pilot program. In an effort to forge a better life for his wife and ten year old son Jack decided to take advantage of the generous bonus and hazard pay available and volunteered to be a part of the XC|PT squadron. The idea of being able to help humanity as a whole simply sealed the deal for him, even if the OSDT was all but a name in a ledger it was still a group devoted to helping everybody and not just one group.

[b]Model:[/b] XC|PT-004 “The Ball”

[b]Specialty:[/b] Prototype-Run Support Class SV

[b]History:[/b] (See File: “Project Overview” located in 001)
They needed a support unit. A ball would do. 

[b]Appearance:[/b] A large sphere painted in garish red, white and blue stripes that Jack swears up and down have nothing to do with any nation’s flag. Breaking the color scheme are a collection of engine nozzles and robotic arms tipped with a wide variety of tools and claws.

[b]Equipment:[/b] As a support class vehicle “The Ball” is equipped with a large variety of tools to provide in-field repairs for any wounded comrades. These range from a modular pair of electromagnetic grabber claws and a plasma welder to a 3D printer with which to construct simple electronics and armor on the spot.
In addition, “The Ball” is equipped with a very robust series of thrusters that allow it the delta-v needed to quickly reach any ally in need of repair.

[i]Special Comm Systems[/i] - Not a remarkable feature, but still one worth mentioning, “The Ball” has a specialized communication system to allow for further encrypted communication with other HFVs from the XC|PT series. In addition to encrypted communication, the system allows for ease in transferring data between units as well as GPS position relaying.  


[b]Armaments:[/b] While primarily a support craft, the designers of the XC|PT-004 acknowledged that the battlefield is a dangerous place. As such they decided to give it a pair of rapid fire railguns that launch explosive kinetic penetrator spikes.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] While "The Ball" has enough armor to not die from a single blow, too much would result in an unacceptable reduction in speed. As a result it's only real defense is the high delta-v of the craft and the evasive skills of the pilot. Also as a primarily support craft "The Ball" has very few ranged weapons and nothing dedicated to engaging in melee combat.
