[b]Name:[/b] Father Joan Heidenreich, OSDT Chaplain

[b]Age:[/b] 26

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]???:[/b] Y

[b]Skills:[/b] Skilled pilot and capable enough mechanic, public oration, soothing spirits, quiet hymnals, photographic knowledge of relevant Scripture, Saturday morning cartoons.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Standing at five and a half feet even and thin, the chaplain tends towards a naturally lithe, willowy figure. It's made easier to notice by her priest's robes, which are somewhat tighter than an average frock, and her standard-issue military uniform. Her rosary tends to hang from her slim neck no matter what outfit she wears, the polish blending into her dark skin. A pair of startlingly green eyes and stark white hair offset her natural skin tone, and the gentle smile she often wears is more than bright enough despite how faint it usually is. Off-duty or on Earth, she will often default to distinctly unholy sundresses (even daring to show her knees off) or casual blue jeans.

[b]Personality:[/b] Even for a priest, Joan is atypically gentle and polite. In fact, it is difficult to even determine why such a beatific soul would want to be attached to a squadron of HFVs in the first place. In truth, it is both the excitement of the profession itself and her concern for those who thrive off that excitement - her understanding of the thrill of jockeying is most of what drives her to act as spiritual and psychological counsel for those on board Jannah. For those seeking something besides a sermon or advice, Joan is also surprisingly willing to get up to mild, good-natured mischief, which she explains away serenely as trying to bring a sense of levity to those few who choose to live in the moment.

[b]Biography:[/b] For the first half of her life, the clergy was about as far away from Father Joan's long-term plans as you could get. Joan grew up with a passion for literature, whiling away her days reading voraciously and imagining lush fantasy lands and what lay in the farthest reaches of space. Growing up on Earth in an age of space colonies and evidence of extraterrestrials only kindled the fire of adventure in the young Earthling growing up, and she had no time to debate theology or dole out advice when there was adventure to be had.

Then, at the age of fourteen, Joan was in an enormous car wreck along with her parents and three older siblings. Though only her parents were wearing seat belts at the time, all four children nonetheless escaped the family van with more than moderate injuries. In the hospital, Joan was baptized, and told repeatedly that the family's good condition was nothing short of a miracle - an act of God. Never being particularly religious, or having much idea of what religion pertained to besides the pieces that had seeped into popular culture or modern idioms, Joan was now possessed with a childlike belief in miracles. Her path in life diverted as such, and upon graduation she went to school for philosophy and began a path to the clergy.

Upon leaving the seminary a year ago, Joan requested what must have seemed a bizarre choice for one who so nearly had her life taken by machinery as a child - the OSDT, where she was posted upon the spaceship Jannah to serve as a support pilot and adviser to the crew. In truth, she sees a little of herself in those who deign to pilot such dangerous vehicles, and seeks to give them the same peace of mind that the Father feels daily, and seeks to stave off any feelings of despair or loneliness with all her might.[/hider]

[b]Model:[/b] XC|PT-003 "Judah"

[b]Specialty:[/b] Prototype-Run Quadrupedal Testbed HFV

[b]History:[/b] (See File: “Project Overview” located in 001)

[b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=CLASSIFIED][img]http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig16/10164356a.jpg[/img]

Quadrupedal Mode - 12.8 meters
Bipedal Mode - 19.1 meters[/hider]

[b]Features:[/b] [i]Quadrupedal Form[/i] - The PT-003 is unique among most HFVs in production (save a smattering of Martian prototypes in lesser stages of development) in that it does not shift into another vehicle, but into a quadrupedal form in the shape of a lion, designed for reconnaissance and easy maneuvering. This allows the PT-003 to serve in multiple capacities when on four legs - the most prevalent of which are a lightweight mobile assault role or its originally intended role as a scout.

[i]Special Comm Systems[/i] - Not a remarkable feature, but still one worth mentioning, Judah 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] [b]460mm High Velocity Railguns x2:[/b] Mounted on hardpoints on Judah's back in quadrupedal configuration. When bipedal, a railgun is positioned over each shoulder.

[b]400mm Rocket Launcher x1:[/b] Comes chambered with thirteen rounds, able to be stored on a hardpoint on the suit's back in quadrupedal form. This weapon is mostly used in quadrupedal form, as Judah's hands wield beam sabers and the railguns are mounted upon each shoulder in its bipedal configuration - obviously, making use of an extra rocket launcher difficult.

[b]Beam Sabers x2:[/b] Stored in the mouth of the PT-003's cranial unit when in quadrupedal configuration, the lack of holsters on Judah requires both sabers to be wielded by hand when in bipedal configuration.

[b]80mm Auto-Tracking Head Vulcans x2:[/b] Oldie but goodie. 

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Despite its considerable array of firepower, the PT-003 itself is a relatively light suit designed for quick but heavy strikes and offensive capability. The HFV has little in the way of defensive capability beyond mounting a good offense.
