[b]Character's Name[/b]: Mikhail Fyodorovich Orlov [b]Character's Age[/b]: 65 Note: Due to the advanced medical technology in the Post Disaster universe, Mikhail is remarkably healthy for his age, possessing the vitality of a (paraplegic) man 20 years his junior. [b]Character's Gundam/Mobile Suit[/b]: [list] [*] 1st mobile suit (Start of rp) being used: [url=http://imgur.com/8ilTsRR]EB-06s Graze Commander Type[/url] (It has been refitted to accommodate the Alaya-Vijnana System. The colour scheme is that of the space model Graze.) [*] 2nd mobile suit (mid rp) being used: [url=http://imgur.com/2yuCpXG]EB-AX2 Graze Ein[/url] [*] 3rd mobile suit (near end of rp) being used: EB-AX2 Graze Ein with a second Ahab Reactor. [/list] [b]List of Gundam/mobile suit's weapons/miscellaneous armaments[/b]: [hider=Graze Commander Type] - [b]GR-W01 120mm Rifle[/b]: Standard-issue rifle of the Graze. It is noted to be accurate and reliable; and is best used against vehicles that lack nanolaminated armour. It may also be reconfigured into a short rifle/carbine for one-handed use. - [b]GR-W02 320mm Bazooka Gun[/b]: Rocket artillery that can be mounted on the shoulder. While more effective against nanolaminated armour when compared to the rifle, melee combat is still the preferred method for dispatching enemy mobile suits. - [b]GR-H01 9.8m Battle Axe[/b]: Simply enough, it's a large axe intended for combat against other mobile suits. Like most forms of melee weaponry that rely on raw brute force, it is exceptionally effective against nanolaminated armour. - [b]Shield[/b]: Heat-resistant and nanolaminated, but otherwise unremarkable. - [b]The unnamed backpack used by the Space Graze[/b]. - [b]Head Sphere Sensor[/b]: A secondary camera typically concealed within the Graze's head. When greater precision or long-distance vision is required, the head will open to reveal the orb-shaped apparatus. - [b]Nanolaminated Armour[/b]: A multi-layered paint typically found on Post Disaster Mobile Suits and spacefaring vessels. While it provides extensive protection from solid munitions, it is vulnerable to brute-force melee strikes and incendiary weaponry. In addition, fresh coats must be applied on a semi-regular basis, as even ineffective attacks will slowly scrape the paint off. - [b]Alaya-Vijnana System[/b]: A man-machine interface developed during the Calamity War, intended to greatly enhance a pilot's piloting capabilities. After undergoing extensive surgery, a pilot may link themselves directly to their mobile suit's computer via the protrusions on their spinal cord. As a result, nanomachines create an additional pseudo-brain lobe, improving the pilot's spatial awareness and ability to process data. In short, it makes you pilot better because of [s]Nanomachines, son[/s]. [/hider] [hider=Graze Ein] - [b]40mm Retractable Shoulder Machine Gun x 2[/b]: One is stored within either shoulder of the Graze Ein. They are capable of rotating to strike targets both in front of or behind the Mobile Suit. Much like the head vulcans of other Gundam franchises, their usefulness is questionable. - [b]Custom Large Axe x 2[/b]: Enlarged versions of the GR-H01, so as to match the greater size of the Graze Ein. - [b]Drill Kick x 2[/b]: The 'toes' on the Graze Ein may lock together and rotate at extremely high speeds. Thus, simple kicks become capable of piercing nanolaminated armour. - [b]Screw Punch x 2[/b]: Operates in a largely identical manner to the Drill Kick, but with fists. - [b]Pile Bunker x 2[/b]: Drives a metal spike into the target with remarkable velocity, penetrating nanolaminated armour with ease. They are single-use, disposable, and mounted under the Graze's forearms. - [b]Alaya-Vijnana System[/b]: Possesses a higher sensitivity than what is installed on Mikhail's original Graze, providing a greater degree of precision when piloting. - [b]Nanolaminated Armour[/b]: Identical to what is described for the Graze Commander Type. - [b]Head Sphere Sensor[/b]: Again, the Ein's version of this is largely indistinguishable from the bog-standard Graze's. - [b]Modified Cockpit[/b]: As Mikhail's situation is nowhere near as severe as Ein's, the cockpit has been altered to accommodate his possession of arms and capacity to survive without extensive life support.

Now confined to a wheelchair when outside his MS, he seems more suited to a senior's home than a hangar. As is the case for all humans fitted with the AV system, a series of protrusions can be seen on his spine. As the recently appointed branch commander of Mars, Mikhail wears the red-coloured uniform of his organization. Given his lack of legs, the uniform was modified accordingly. [b]Genetic Type[/b]: Enhanced Human (Alaya-Vijnana System) [b]Biography[/b]: Mikhail was born to the house of Orlov, a moderately wealthy family from Arbrau's Russian holdings. As the fifth of seven sons sired by Fyodor Orlov, one might think him destined to inherit a mere pittance of the family's wealth, if anything. However, Fyodor fancied a practice that was best described as 'meritocratic gavelkind.' In other words, he would divvy it up 'fairly' amongst his heirs, prioritizing the child he favoured the most. As Fyodor strongly preferred martial pursuits above all others, it seemed natural to most of his sons that enlisting with Gjallarhorn was their best chance at coming out ahead of their siblings. Out of the six that applied, Mikhail and two of his brothers were noted for their ability to pilot and to lead a unit with equal prowess, while the remaining three were applauded for their impeccable piloting abilities. Thus, the brothers Orlov were deployed throughout Gjallarhorn's jurisdiction, so that they may uphold peace and order across the solar system. As for the remaining brother, he found great success in the field of luxury furniture, and went on to establish himself as a self-made man. Having been appointed to the Arianrhod Fleet stationed upon the Moon, Mikhail saw a great deal of combat in space, mostly consisting of stamping out pirate activity and the occasional mutiny. After several years of service, Mikhail had managed to either outlive or outrank his siblings, leaving him poised to retire into a life of comfort and luxury. Unfortunately, a disastrous altercation with a pack of Brewers left the esteemed Captain Orlov comatose and legless. Fyodor's estate and holdings were divvied up amongst his remaining sons, and Mikhail was kept under supervision in a Gjallarhorn medical ward. He awakened following the Battle of Edmonton, whereupon Mikhail immediately attempted to strangle the nearest member of the hospital staff, causing him to rather unceremoniously tumble out of his bed. Following a brief series of tests to ensure he was in stable condition, the medical staff deposited Mikhail in a wheelchair and sent him off to a meeting with his superiors. An offer was made: agree to partake in a 'rehabilitation program,' and be promoted to Branch Commander of Mars. Having grown fond of his career military lifestyle prior to the incident, Mikhail agreed. He'd much rather die in the saddle. As part of his rehabilitation, Mikhail was made to undergo the Alaya-Vijnana treatment repeatedly, which proved non-fatal and remarkably successful, thanks to the wonders of Gjallarhorn's medical technology. Once he'd recovered fully from his coma and subsequent surgery, Mikhail was provided with a customized Graze and promptly shipped off to Mars. Under his strict supervision, the depleted Mars Branch re-ordered into a more disciplined force, in light of their failure against a band of child soldiers. While conducting a routine patrol, Mikhail, now known as Major Orlov, broke off to investigate a suspicious signal. To the relief and despair of many under his command, Mikhail mysteriously vanished.
