[hider=Pilot] [img]https://i.imgur.com/sajy590.png[/img] [b]Name:[/b] [indent]Kurt Bauer[/indent] [b]Appearance:[/b] [indent]Standing at 5’9’’, Kurt is of average height. Initially he seems to have a slim build, but hidden beneath his clothes is a heavily toned body, formed from his years of hard labor. Kurt’s skin is very pale, a side effect of spending many years in the darkness of space. Kurt keeps his haircut simple, as he cuts himself, with his brown hair going down to his ears. Kurt’s eyes are the blue color of the oceans of Earth, a sight he has never seen in person. His body is also marked with cuts and bruises from the rough life he has lived.[/indent] [indent]Kurt has no sense of style as his financial situation has never allowed for frivolous spending. So he wears basic t-shirts, jeans, and a jacket, or whatever else the pirates provide. If given the choice between colorful and white, black, or grey clothes, Kurt will almost always go with the darker clothing.[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]17[/indent] [b]Background:[/b] [indent]Born on Phobos, one of the moons of Mars, the only parent Kurt was aware of having was a mother. What he has been told is that she worked in a brothel and had no clue who his father was. Kurt’s mother would only to handle being a mother for a few months before she abandoned Kurt. Left at a local church, Kurt would then be put into the broken child service system. Kurt would then be shipped down to Mars itself, where he would be placed in an overcrowded orphanage. It was in these early formative years that Kurt learned that he had to fight for everything.[/indent] [indent]The conditions in the orphanage were bad, with the owner only doing it for the government support checks. Kurt would frequently get into trouble, often getting physically abused as a punishment. Eventually Kurt and two other orphans had enough and planned to escape the orphanage and make their way to Jupiter. And then one night, after weeks of planning, the trio slipped away from the orphanage and headed to the big city.[/indent] [indent]Upon reaching the city, one of the orphans chickened out and decided to remain on Mars. Kurt and his friend Alto went ahead without him. As they didn’t have much money, Kurt and Alto signed up for a job mining the Asteroid Belt that divided Mars and Jupiter. The company involved had some very loose regulations, hiring the pair even though they were clearly minors. So Kurt became an employee of the company, taking the surname Bauer for any official documents.[/indent] [indent]Kurt and Alto were taken to Asteroid GL-2814, where they began training with mobile workers in order to mine the rock. Kurt and Alto would do this for about a year, never making enough money to move on to Jupiter. Kurt would begin to get angry with the mining company. This was only increased when Alto died in a work accident, with the company clearly being at fault.[/indent] [indent]Without his one friend, Kurt went into a depressive state, the only thing keeping him going was the thought of leaving the asteroid. He would get a chance when the mining operation was raided by pirates, stealing the metals that had been mined and seizing their mining equipment. The captain of the pirate decided to capture most of the mobile worker pilots, turning them into human debris.[/indent] [indent]Life was just as hard for Kurt as human debris as it had been a misused miner. He was tapped to become a mobile suit pilot, requiring him to get the Alaya Vijinana System surgery. While he survived it, it did leave him with recurrent pain in his back. Once he was able to prove himself as a pilot for the pirates, he was sent to serve aboard the Merculiar Witch.[/indent] [b]Personality and Reputation:[/b] [indent]Kurt projects an aura of gentleness, never being a hard person to be around. As such he is well like among the human debris, and even other members of the crew. He is known for being of much help with machines given his background in asteroid mining. As such he is considered a key part of the crew. But this is an image that Kurt consciously constructs, as he always wants to appear of use. Beneath his kind eyes is a simmering rage, one focused at everyone to have ever wronged him.[/indent] [indent]Kurt is convinced that conflict is at the center of all life. One must always stake their claim, or show themselves of use to someone stronger than them. Because of this view, Kurt is always trying to become more skilled, more stronger. His greatest fear would be to become a liability to those around him. Not being able to hold his own would be the worst thing in Kurt’s mind.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Starting Mobile Suit] [b]Mobile Suit:[/b] [indent][url=https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/EB-06_Graze]Modified EB-06 Graze[/url][/indent] [b]Name:[/b] [indent]Graze Cosmo[/indent] [b]Frame:[/b] [indent]Graze Frame[/indent] [b]Appearance:[/b] [indent][hider=Graze Cosmo][img]https://i.imgur.com/JL1TNYN.png[/img][/hider][/indent] [b]Equipment:[/b] [indent][list][*] Alaya Vijinana System (Added in repairs to the Graze) [*] Head Sphere Sensor [*] Booster Unit (for space use) [*] GR-W01 120mm Rifle (standard, short range weapon) [*] GR-H01 9.8m Battle Axe (standard, close range weapon) [*] GR-E01 8.8m Shield (standard, heat resistant shield)[/list][/indent] [/hider] [hider=Gundam Frame] [b]Mobile Suit:[/b] [indent]ASW-G-34 Furfur[/indent] [b]Name:[/b] [indent]Gundam Furfur[/indent] [b]Frame:[/b] [indent]ASW-G-34 Furfur Frame[/indent] [b]Appearance:[/b] [indent][hider=Gundam Furfur][img]https://i.imgur.com/j2WjvO9.png[/img][/hider][/indent] [b]Equipment:[/b] [indent][list][*] Alaya Vijinana System [*] Ahab Thrusters (back and waist) [*] Thermal Phase Transition Thrusters [*] Battle Zweihander (Large, two handed, blade weapon) [*] Head Mounted Vulcan Gun (Small round, short range weapon)[/list][/indent] [/hider]
