Edit 1: Updated Appearances. Edit 2: Retallied Goose. #1 [hider=Scummiest Guy]Pilot Sheet [List] [*][b]Name[/b]: Prince Astolfo Wilhem "Bug" Bugatti. [*][b]Gender[/b]: Male [*][b]Appearance[/b]: [hider=I'm So fabulous, Peasants][center][Img]https://i.imgur.com/RNRHXpE.jpeg[/Img] Height:5'5"[/Center][/Hider] [*][b]Pilot Type[/b]: Gifted [*][b]Age[/b]: 19 [*][b]Background Potentials[/b]: -Metal Mind -Silver Tongued Devil -Indomitable Will [*][b]Perks[/b]: He's a prince still, so he's got both [u]Money[/u] and [u]Networking.[/u] [*][b]Personality[/b]: A deeply jaded, cynical selfish youth who believes on his birthright as royal blood. Astolfo is not pleasant, he pulls no punches, and has a callous disregard for most things that make someone human. He rarely considers someone worth of talking to, and he lacks hesitation in staining his hands with blood. To him, everyone is a fool in a grand theater, and he heavily leans in hedonistic fancies to get the edge and anger out of his mind. He is also not above of wearing a masquerade and used sweet words to manipulate others to do his bidding. He does have a fascination for tinkering, and upkeeping machines. Unlike filthy humans, machines are way more reliable than them. Yet, if one were to take things to the extreme, Astolfo is a person who doesn't give an inch of ground when cornered, and will fight back instead of fleeing. [*][b]Background[/b]: Born as the fourth prince in the court of the Yatalia Empire where intrigue, poison and plots were the daily bread one had to commune. His parents did not care for him beyond seeing him as a future asset for the throne, and his siblings and him engaged in nasty power-plays, fully knowing only one person could be the winner. Astolfo thus grew warped, from being subject to assasination attempts, to being the one calling for his siblings' heads. He has also killed and tortured servants, in fears of them being spies of his siblings. Nevertheless, things took a tragic turn when the Empress and Emperor of Yatalia went suddenly missing, allegedly to a Cruxi attack. This triggered a succession crisis. Like his siblings, he played his cards. But fate was not with him, and he was found losing supports and being hunted down by his brother, the Second Prince. Cornered inside a Framewerk experimental factory, he commandeered the experimental unit with barely any knowledge, determined to make a last stand. This was when things became bloody. Against all odds, Astolfo managed to put up an intense fight with the unit, felling opponent after opponent in a berserk, like fury, cursing fate and his siblings and ignoring wound after wound he sustained. After hundreds of casualties and one orbital laser strike after, Astolfo was subdued and heavily wounded, pending to be executed by his brother as a cleanup before his ascension to the throne. However, the powers that be and the High Command in charge of the War agains the Cruxi thought that his talent would be too precious to simply be lost in a political scuffle, and thus he was drafted into service in exchange of a full pardon and renewed access to the resources of the Yatalia Empire. [*][b]Missing People[/b]: The Emperor and Empress of Yatalia. He still thinks his brother did it. [*][b]Additional information[/b]: Scumbag prince on the wrong side of a succession crisis. Yatalia is a multi-planet empire. [/List][/hider] [hider=Creepy Crawler]Framewerk Sheet [List] [*][b]Framewerk Sheet[/b]: CK-R8 Claines Kalinin Revision 8. Also known as the "Cockroach" for the connoiseurs. [*][b]Appearance[/b]: A heavy workhorse unit designed for construction and exploration in harsh frontier worlds, it has been successfully adapted as a combat Framewerk unit with great success, owing to its superb sturdy engineering, ease of repair and highly customization options. If only it didn't look like something out of a junkyard painted in a "vomit green" colour (actually a side effect of the corrosion-proof affordable alloy it has been made) it would have seen more success among the battlefields. Yet for people who don't care much about looks, the CK-R8 offers a good balance between armor and mobility, and has one of the highest rates of successful pilot extraction in the event of a cockpit breach. It might look clunky and ugly, but this Framewerk is a sturdy warrior. [*][b]Weight Class[/b]: Medium (Speed) (Moves at Light) [*][b]Framewerk Type[/b]: Backliner. Let the muscleheads do the heavy weight. [*][b]Primary Weapon Systems[/b]: Particle Cannon. [*][b]Secondary Systems[/b]: -Cloaking Wings -Utility Drones (1 Recon, 1 Repair) -Segmented Recombination [/List][/hider] #2 [hider=The Old Clanker] [List] [*][b]Name[/b]:Lilim Series Hestia, model Steel Raven 456, aka Stella [*][b]Gender[/b]: Gynoid [*][b]Appearance[/b]: [Hider=Not bad for 65 year old tech.][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/xxfzJVS.png[/img] Height:6'3"[/Center][/hider] [*][b]Pilot Type[/b]:Experienced Pilot [*][b]Age[/b]:65 years. [*][b]Background Potentials[/b]: [List] [*]Semiconductor Brain (Machine Mind): As a gynoid, Stella's brain is all silicon and programs and she finds extremely easy to interact with fellow machines as well as having a good grasp of their composition. Stella is also able to hijack other systems directly, but it carries of a risk of being hacked back. [*]Lilim(Cyborg):Stella is an artificial being made from scratch. Initially a gynoid designed for kindergarten caretaking, Stella has been reworked as a combat-ready Lilim ages ago for some reason. Her all syntethic frame boasts [u]Enhanced armor plates[/u],[u]Enhanced Reflexes[/u] and [u]Synthetic Muscle Fibers[/u] that allow her superhuman feats. Due to her artificial makeup, she does not require from air or food, and can survive vacuum unaided. However, she does require to replace her power source regularly, cannot swim at all, and can be weak to hacking if the opponent is skilled enough. She also requires special manteinance regularly. As an artificial being, most emotions are alien processes to her. [*]Combat Programming (Warrior): Stella has built-in combat routines to aid her endeavour, as well as an entire library worth of [u]Taekwondo[/u] installed. However, unlike most human warriors, and due to the nature of an artificial gynoid, she replaces the warrior's pride for a strong desire to protect, almost bordering on maternal instinct. Whenever a human under her charge is hurt in her presence, the combat mode activates (more similar to the Guardian Perk in terms of psychological fixation). [/List] [*][b]Perks[/b]: List all your Perks here. You can also give these a small custom description to fit your character if you want to. [List] [*]Optimized Frame(Athletic): Stella's gynoid's frame is specifically fine tuned to allow her mobility without parallel (unless the activity in question is swimming). She can handily break human records when performing. [*]Proficiency- Housework and Childcare. For some Reason, Stella refuses to wipe out the sectors in her memory that deal on how to care for children and other human beings. [/List] [*][b]Personality[/b]: Stella's personality is hard to gauge, given the fact her frame has a very limited array of expressions besides a blank stare. Her nonverbal communication comes essentially from her actions. Stella is rather sensitive to human anguish, and will track down the sources of distress and attempt to fix the situation no matter the cost. Sometimes, even violently. Stella's programming as a caretaker and a protector sometimes go beyond the definition of human, and sometimes aliens and animals, and even plants fall under that definition too. Stella seems to prefer doing tasks to keep humans happy, and keep them fed and well-slept. However, Cruxi seem to trigger a seek and destroy impulse in her. For some reason, all Cruxi sightings set her systems on alert, as if it was an electronic analogue of hatred. Stella also loves dry, closed places with lots of machinery where she can power down and do routine tasks that are sleep analogues to humans. She feels very comfortable around other tech and machinery, and sometimes she can even be seen "talking" to Framewerks. [*][b]Background[/b]: Once widely considered an urban legend, the frame known as Steel Raven 456 started as a simple utility gynoid in a frontier world, where she was tasked with helping raising the local children in a top-grade nursery. Stella has very corrupted databanks of what exactly happened there, but she clearly remembers the attack of the Cruxi, the fear of the children and her owner telling her to defend the kids with a makeshift weapon. Stella's first taste of combat was clumsy, but allowed the children to be rescued. However Stella herself suffered critical damage in several systems that decomissioned her for a time, and left to rust in an abandoned planet. Some time later, her circuits were revived, as she saw a face she could still recognize from her databanks, looking at her barely functioning self. One of the children, transitioned into a young adult had managed to purchase her scrap and revived her. He then went on to give a briefing on the situation. How that day, many children were saved, but many were dead, and how the now adults were waging a war on their own. A war against the Cruxi, the aggressors that had fired that day. Moisture fell on her faceplate. Tears. The adult was crying like a child in front of her. A new directive was set into Stella's mind. Continue her original role. [i]Protect the now grown up adults and their descendants. Eliminate the Cruxi threat.[/i] With the help of her former charges, Stella was rebuilt, and reborn not as a caretaker gynoid any longer, but as a combat unit who could pull her weight on the battle and outside. More fights. More losses. More tears. Stella became scrapped several times, then revived. Each time sharper, faster, better programmed, as the children and her descendants pitched in resources to keep rebuilding her. Dozens became hundreds. A new directive was set. [i]Protect all humanity from the Cruxi[/i]. Then, one day, Stella was notified of a new project, and issued a new order. [*][b]Missing People[/b]: Her original owner. She does not know if he's still alive. [*][b]Additional information[/b]: Apron optional. [/List][/hider] [hider=Absolute Unit] [List] [*][b]Framewerk Name[/b]: The Mother Goose [*][b]Appearance[/b]: Mother Goose is less a Framewerk and more a walking mass of thick armor and black metal. While it looks almost cylindrical and has comically shaped heavy armor and legs, the mech is actually a near unstoppable high pressure unit in the battlefield. Too heavy to run away. Too heavy to flank. All it can do is advance at glacial place and soak the fire from other units. [*][b]Weight Class[/b]: Super Heavy (Armor) (Athletic,Cyborg- Moves at Heavy, Armor at [b]Super Heavy+3[/b], Warrior- Melee Damage at [b]Super Heavy+3[/b], Ranged at [b]Super Heavy+2[/b]) [*][b]Framewerk Type[/b]: Frontliner [*][b]Primary Weapon Systems[/b]: [List] [*]Rocket Hammer [*]Shredder Shotguns [*]Missile Launchers [*](Warrior):Ripper Fists [/list] [*][b]Secondary Systems[/b]: [List] [*] Bastion. [*](Cyborg Mod): Enhaced Movement Protocol (Moves at Light 1/turn per battle) [/list] [/List][/hider]
