@Ariamis Just as an aside, what does "you get one more Mod for your Framewerk" mean if you get the "Cyborg" Background Potential? Another weapon or system in effect? What defines a 'mod' in this scenario, then, if not that (because it seems explicit enough when mentioned elsewhere I mean).

...huh...well this looks familiar...you got any more room for pilots @Ariamis?

Numero dos. Throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

The Old Clanker [+]

• Name:Lilim Series Hestia, model Steel Raven 456, aka Stella
• Gender: Gynoid
• Appearance:
  
  
  Not bad for 65 year old tech. [+]

  
• Pilot Type:Experiencied Pilot
• Age:65 years.
• Background Potentials:
  
  
  
  • 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 Enhanced armor plates,Enhanced Reflexes and Synthetic Muscle Fibers 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 Taekwondo 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).
• Perks: List all your Perks here. You can also give these a small custom description to fit your character if you want to.
  
  
  
  • 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.
• Personality: 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.
• Background: 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. Protect the now grown up adults and their descendants. Eliminate the Cruxi threat.
  
  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. Protect all humanity from the Cruxi.
  
  Then, one day, Stella was notified of a new project, and issued a new order.
• Missing People:
  Her original owner. She does not know if he's still alive.
• Additional information: Apron optional.

Absolute Unit [+]

• Framewerk Name: The Mother Goose
• Appearance: 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.
• Weight Class: Super Heavy (Athletic- Moves at Heavy, Armor at Extreme, Warrior- Melee Damage at Extreme)
• Framewerk Type: Frontliner
• Primary Weapon Systems:
  
  
  
  • Rocket Hammer
  • Shredder Shotguns
  • Missile Launchers
  • (Warrior):Ripper Fists
• Secondary Systems:
  
  
  
  • Bastion.
  • (Cyborg Mod): Enhaced Movement Protocol

@Ariamis I was tinkering at the last moment, did you catch those edits?

Sorry this took so long and worse, it ain't finished but I was trying to at least finish a character but I need opinions on it before I jump into the framewerk.

Remembering the last time years ago when I did this, I tried to do a combination of "Mai" and "Jake" but turned out mostly Mai or basically a serious soldier type I usually start off with. Hell, Gundam Wing Heero Yuy if you want specific knockoffs. Still, I did a unique thing too in it so I wanted some of you to see if this'll work or not:

Name: Jake Twilight (Real name unknown)
Callsign: Seven
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Stands 6'2". Weight unknown.
Pilot Type: Skilled
Age: 25

Background Potentials:
Awareness
Stealthy

Perks:
Athletic
Academic
Networking

Weakness:
Suicidal Behavior (Custom) - Despite being well trained, educated and having connections with other "Recon" divisions of the military as shown, it comes with a downside. Being born and raised in a battlefield all his life, death itself doesn't scare Jake at all. If anything, there are those that say he's just "looking for a place to get killed". While he won't follow an order to "shoot himself", he will follow an order that may have very little odds of success to none whatsoever or perhaps throw himself in front of a bullet if it means "protecting a mission objective" without any prep time. Similar to "Death or Glory" but with no upside, Jake suffers 'reduced chance to dodge equivalent to two levels of higher weight class until the start of your next turn' when near an objective or other pending circumstances...

Personality:
To say that Jake is your typical "stoic" soldier would be the best way to describe him. Rarely showing any sort of emotion, he talks when spoken to but has some quirks that make you think he's still human. When ordered to be "at ease" or simply to take down time, he can be seen either training, studying or perhaps things more normal like playing video games or other kinds of games to reading. His "muse is music" though it seems as he's seen never without some form of a headset.

Jake rarely goes out of his way to "mingle" or talk to anyone casually unless it has to do with a "mission" or duing a combat senario. Though because of his soldier attitude and talking in a monotone-like voice, most may find talking to him casually exausting or frustrating at times.

By the end of the day though, there are those that say Jake means well despite a dangerous flaw. He sadly was just forced to grow up far too quickly...

Background:
Not much is known of the early origins of the pilot known as Jake "Seven" Twilight. The name itself given to him by a scientist when he was drafted into his framewerk program.

Jake seemed like a "ghost" in today's society even all the way in the depths of space. Even when he eventually found his way into the military, blood testing and other forms of medical identification couldn't properly I.D. him. But they say that he was found as an infant among the corpses of other dead humans after a Cruxi attack and was found by unknown civilians. Afterwards, records and eyewitness accounts having him "bouncing" as he once put it from one space colony to another just trying to make ends meet. Never saying a word...never stating his mind or his desires.

There are many that say that Jake is your typical war victim and shows just how cruel the war was even back then.

However, what we do know is, despite his dry personality, he was considered one of their best and brightest but again, his lack of emotion seemed counter-productive to those training to be a framewerk pilot. Despite this, early "military" records show him at around age 18 him piloting what is known as "Subwerks" or framewerks not as advanced as the ones seen recently. Despite being old school mechas, Jake showed excellent skill in piloting such machinery despite the disadvantage of no "sync" system as seen in todays mechs.

Then, four years ago from the present time, he was transfer to a private framewerk division that simply went by the codename "The Numbers". Said to be a specialized unit, it was actually a division similar to what perhaps Lorenzo is doing now in the present time. However, there were stories of the group being a "black ops" team said to do the "dirty work" that other pilots wouldn't be able to handle. That included fighting and even killing targets that weren't Cruxi...

The leader was also an old man who simply went by the code name "Cauldron". With Jake, the team consisted of Seven pilots with Jake being the seventh, hence his callsign "Seven". Despite the stories around the group, it's said that Cauldron did care about pilot "quality" but had misgivings about other "methods" that were being used to fight the war with the Cruxi. While it isn't clear what he didn't agree on it was clear that there was friction brewing between his old group and the general military.

What Jake did during those four years with The Numbers is classified but it's said that Cauldron suffered health complications that prevented him from continuing leadership. However, due to Cauldron's misgivings with other methods of producing pilots, higher ranking military leaders were quick to disband the division. Perhaps seeing them as possible "threats" even.

What exactly happened to Cauldron and the six other pilots is either classified or unknown entirely but Jake was an exception due to his skills and experience. Thus he received a late transfer order to Lorenzo's division.

Missing People: Jake doesn't remember his past or his origins so his only missing people "possibly" seems to be the six other pilots of his old division but perhaps Cauldron himself is someone he actually cared about for a time....

my gimmick, stolen from right under my nose

<Snipped quote by Ammokkx>



Mom said it's my turn with the Alaya-Vijnana System. :P

@Ariamis Another question, ah, if that is ok to ask I mean!

So I have an idea of sorts for a Secondary System for a Framewerk, an idea basically taken from a Gundam anime but trying to tweak the details of it a little to change it from being a 100% pure 1-1 (hopefully). In that vein I wanted to ask:

Could a pilot have a special Secondary System for their Framewerk, one that involves them recieving a special set of cybernetic implants but not becoming a full Cyborg. These implants would be the pilot-side part of a system installed in the Framewerk that effectively gives the pilot a somewhat stronger/deeper form of Synchronized Agility, literally operating the Framewerk and its systems as if it were their own body, but at the cost of taking up a whole Secondary System slot. It would also come with some EMP vulnerability and such, not as much as a Cyborg would have to worry about it at least....but more than a standard pilot has to worry about.

Would such a thing be potentially acceptable? Or would it be too OP or such? Suggestions for potential weaknesses if it needs more of those?

Overall I just wanted to test the waters and ask about it all at least. ^^;

Well...here's the rest of it. @Ariamis, I think I went too far with the framewerk but take a look at it though and tell me what you think. I also updated the personality part to perhaps make him more interactive so hope that works. But ugh, was hoping the A.I. generator I found could give Wing Zero Custom a black paint job but the results I got were crap so just using the original Wing Zero Custom as the base for this:

Jake rarely goes out of his way to "mingle" or talk to anyone casually unless it has to do with a "mission" or duing a combat senario.

Framewerk Name: Angel Zero
Appearance:
https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/XXXG-00W0_Wing_Gundam_Zero_EW?file=Wing+gundam+zero+EW+front.png
Weight Class: Medium
Framewerk Type: Specialist

Primary Weapon Systems:
"Rapid Execution Adaptation Processor" or REAP is Angel Zero's unique system. Put in simple terms, it allows the framewerk to wield any weapon it can equip to maximum skill level so long as said weapon doesn't require any sort of advanced installation. If Angel Zero can pick it up, it can be weaponized. Though it can only hold two weapons at a time which usually includes a firearm and a melee weapon. Examples of compatible weapons are the Heavy Assault Gun, Laser Blade, Moonbreaker Railgun, Multiform Rod, Marker Light and Vibroblade to name ones pilot Seven has used.

Secondary Systems:
Another unique trait of the Angel Zero is it's wings. More specific, the "Cloaking Wings MK.2". It's the exact same as the original Cloaking Wings but with the added benefit of "visual cloaking". It can literally turn invisible though the visual cloaking part of the system isn't perfect. It can easily be deactivated by either taking any sort of damage, firing a weapon or certain kinds of jammers even if said jammer doesn't shut down the normal functions of the Cloaking Wings. A good pilot can even see the "shimmer" of the framewerk when it moves so the invisibility isn't perfect. Still, the cloak provides extra chance to evade attacks or perhaps even stealth tactics to avoid detection. Though with the addition of the "Multiple Fire Control System" and "Air Recon Drones (5)", the Angel Zero is truly a jack-of-all-trades but with a slight lean on reconnaissance, stealth and versatile combat options.

<Snipped quote by DarkRecon>

The pilot sheet is now better. REAP is an interesting system, but it seems to rely on obtaining other weapon systems. Does Angel Zero have a default weapon to use with the system if there are no other weapons available to grab?

<Snipped quote by Ariamis>

Yeah should have listed it specifically. By default the Heavy Assault Gun and Laser Blade are the standard if no other weapons are currently available since both appear to be the most versatile outside of sniping it seems.

<Snipped quote by DarkRecon>

Oh, I did not catch that in the description, I just thought they were examples of compatible weapons. In that case the Frame sheet is acceptable as well.
