Pilot [b]Name:[/b] Sarah Malika Ajam [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider]Sarah is a woman in her early thirties with dark brown hair, tanned skin, and green eyes. 1.75m (69 inches) tall.[img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/bc46/f/2014/246/8/f/character_1_air1_by_mitchellmohrhauser-d7xuso2.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Helmet:[/b] [hider][img]https://i.imgur.com/CRaarZR.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Weapons:[/b] [url=https://i.imgur.com/IWALmD9.jpg]Breaker Rifle[/url] - A upgrade of a tried and true classic this assault rifle uses special Breaker rounds to penetrate any armor worn by the target. Combat/Utility Data Knife - A serrated blade that can act as a survival tool, an effective anti personal weapon, and be used to store information and access computers. Viral Pistol - A standard sidearm adapted to use a special poisoned ammunition. while not as effective at penetrating armor as the Breaker Rifle it is devastating to living targets when the neuro toxins enter the blood stream. [b]Gear:[/b] Holo Clone - A shoulder mounted projector allows Sarah to make a full scale copy of herself at any point up to 40 meter away from her current position as long as she has line of sight. This also works as a method of disguise by using the Holo projection on herself, allowing Sarah to take on the appearance of a previously scanned humanoid figure. [b]Background:[/b] [hider=Logo and Motto][img]https://i.imgur.com/GrxV5kd.jpg[/img] "Tum kurtlar Kaplandan korkar" (Turkish: All wolves fear the Tiger). Motto of the Kaplan Tactical Services.[/hider] Kaplan Tactical Services (KTS) is a military and private security company subsidiary of Beyhan Resources Şti., a private engineering and construction corporation property of Hikmet Bey, one of the great Silk tycoons. KTS was created with the purpose of defending the many facilities and staff under the Beyhan Resources Şti. umbrella during the turbulent days of the Silk Revolts. In those days the Sultanate, overwhelmed by the attacks of insurrectionist tycoons, was unable to guarantee the protection of any transorbital facility. Hikmet Bey therefore personally charged former military colonel Çelik Ozalan with the creation of an elite unit to secure the continuity of Beyhan Resources Şti.'s operations. The success of KTS was so clear that by the end of the Silk Revolts, it had its size and operational capability improved to be able to offer its services to third parties. In the years since the Silk Revolts, and thanks to the contacts of Hikmet Bey, KTS has gained several security contracts with the Funduq Sultanate, including protection, defense and support operations. It has also received attack contracts, especially during the Ariadnan Commercial Conflicts and the Paradiso Offensives. The Kaplan especially stand out as expert combat engineers, specializing in sabotage and counter-sabotage techniques. The success of Kaplan Tactical Services is fundamentally due to the character granted by its bold and efficient founder, former colonel Ozalan. This veteran soldier gifted the KTS with a self-sacrificing combat spirit driven by the humanist ideals of Haqqislamite culture. The Kaplan mercenary, a Turkish word meaning "Tiger", is always expected to be as courageous as he is intelligent and uncompromising in his mission. The strict Kaplan code of behavior gives them an aura of "honorable mercenaries" that clearly distinguishes them beyond any other soldier of fortune. In KTS, recruits are not asked about their past, but are forced towards a full accord with the unit's code of honor and those who fail to meet these standards are expelled without regard. In the same way, KTS can break a contract if it discovers the operational terms, or its client's objectives, contradict its own code, even if this may cause some friction with its mother corporation, Beyhan Resources Şti. This strong esprit de corps makes the Kaplan feel superior to the majority of professional mercenaries, as well as to most regular military units. However, their operational capabilities, their technical skills and their adaptability to any situation, no matter how difficult, are true facts and qualities highly esteemed by their clients. Thanks to their professionalism as highly trusted elite troops, KTS has been so well integrated into the Qapu Khalqi's military structure that they are also known as the "Sultan's Tigers", undertaking complex operations in the Sultanate's service and forging their fame and prestige. But no matter whether they are working for a government or a private company, Kaplans are always a guarantee of success; their strict code forces them to accept no other option. Sarah joined Kaplan 3 years ago and has served with them on more than a dozen jobs, sometimes as part of a squad but most often as a independent specialist. She had her background wiped upon signing up and most of her file is redacted or blacked out. But a definite is that she has served in the Haqqislamite army and has also done time in a jail, what her sentence was however has been expunged from her records. Titan [b]Name:[/b] Harb [b]Appearance:[/b] Harb is a custom warmachine using a Anaconda pattern Titan as the base. It is a Medium class with moderate armor plating and a kinetic shield generator with weapon mounts added to the shoulders. Originally meant to be used as a shock assault unit Sarah has modified Harb to fit her needs as a long range attacker.

Pile Launchers - Mounted in the forearms the pile launchers are the up close weapons used by Harb. They are meant to combat other mechs like the Anaconda by overloading their kinetic shielding with crushing mass. Auto Cannon - Handheld the auto cannon uses a looped ammo feed to provide a sealed mechanism for the weapon. it is most often loaded with depleted uranium tipped rounds and can be devastating when used on lighter Titan's and infantry. [b]Utility:[/b] Shield Generators - Mounted just behind the core is kinetic shield generators that provide protection from ballistic and explosive weaponry. The shields only block physical weapons however and cannot defend the Titan from energy based weapons like lasers or the heat from an explosion. In an emergency Sarah can activate her Titan's Last Stand "God of Harb" which drops the kinetic shielding defenses and instead focuses them into thin focused strands that can actively cut through any physical material using intense friction. This is a dangerous use of the Shield Generators and this method of use can only be maintained for about 60 seconds before the safety measures kick in and set the generator on emergency cool down. during this time the core opens vents on the back of the Titan to cool down and runs at half power until it is stabilized. [b]Notes:[/b] Harb has been in service with Kaplan for several years and received a memory wipe when Sarah was assigned to it. She has used the Titan for several years during her service with the Security team and bonded with the AI, she has never had Harb go through another memory wipe since she became it's pilot and trusts in Harb's ability to help her make decisions on the battlefield based off previous encounters and missions.
