Edison Kiani

Picture

Name: Edison Kiani

Age: 32

Appearance: Edison is a square-jawed man, with close-cropped blonde hair. He is tall, standing at 6'5", and well-muscled, with eyes that are indicative of his intelligence, despite his features. Both of his hands have been replaced by mechanical ones, improving his grip, and ability in CQC.

Faction: Edison was previously affiliated with the Metal Faction, leading to a predilection for their technology.

Skills: Edison was trained as a sniper or heavy weapons specialist in the Metal Faction's security forces, and was also trained to fight in their environment suits. He is also a combat engineer, able to find the weak points in structures, vehicles, or armor.

Genetic enhancements: None.

Personality: Edison is an affable, friendly man. However, this does not deter him from doing what is necessary to get paid. It is said, when Edison Kiani gets serious, with no trace of humor on his face, that's when you know you're really extra screwed.

Bio: Edison was trained from a young age to be a soldier in the Metal Faction security forces, and for years, he was successful at his job, becoming a heavy weapons specialist and a sniper, and eventually led his own squad. However, his squad was torn apart by politics, and he left the Faction Military shortly afterward to become a mercenary.

Equipment:
Extreme Vision Glasses [EV-299] by Space Faction (tm) - Allows Edison to see in Ultra and Infravison, Sonic, and Telescopic vision, as well as see through some walls and armor.

Metal Faction Medium Bolter Mk2- Edison still owns his old rig, a Medium sized craft, which has heavy armor, advanced targeting, power, and life support systems. It is armed with a variable sniper/machgun Railcannon, which can switch between a high-powered railgun sniper mode, or an armor-shredding short-range machinegun.

M150 Kavalry Sniper Railgun- Edison owns a long-range, infantry-mounted sniper rifle. However, to fire, it needs to be attached to a nuclear battery, and it takes a while to recharge, after each shot. These drawbacks are worth it, however, because the sniper is almost as powerful as something you might find mounted on a light vehicle.

Advanced Alloys Metal Faction Combat Knife- A foot-long, insanely sharp knife that is meant to be able to shred through vehicle armor.

Jane Kelly

Name: Jane Kelly

Age: 29

Appearance

Her weapon is of the beam kind. It's less messy and smoother to use along with a lot more reliable than conventional ballistic weapons. The rifle can be modified to support fully automatic, sniper mode, sub-machinegun mode and even squad automatic weapon type.

Another good thing with the weapon is that it lasts for quite a long time before the need to change power cells arise, the downside is that they are extremely rare to find outside of the Space Faction forces.

This is the reason that she carries a sword strapped to her back. While the sword can be charged using power cells to make it's cutting power a lot stronger, it works as a conventional sword as well.

Faction: Space Faction, undercover as a Merc

Skills: Weapon diversity training. She is quite versed in using different weapon modes on her rifle, however she has only shot a ballistic weapon once during training.

Genetic enhancements: Improved conditioning, making her able to run for long periods of time. Also makes her require less sleep.

Personality: She has a no-bullshit kind of personality fitting her rank, but that is just due to her rank. Under the surface is a cheerful, even if quite stern woman with a warm heart. She has trouble containing her disdain for the Martians though along with their simple ways. She misses Earth and wants to get this deployment over with so that she can go back home again.

Bio: Born on June 28th on planet Earth, Jane Kelly joined the expeditionary forces heading for Mars to reinforce the so called "Space Faction". There was a strong sense of duty within her, a duty towards her country and her planet. The recent instabilities on Mars had to be quelled for the sake of Earth. If the planet became unstable, how would they get their materials?

Earth was already over populated and emptying of resources, Mars was their last chance after the Moon colony. Who knew how long it would take to colonize more worlds? Earth was out of time, and they needed the precious resources now. And thus Kelly joined up.

Her mission was one of a frontline soldier, utilizing the advanced weapons of her planet against the savages of Mars. Even though they made what they could with what they had, in comparison they were not even close to what she had back home.

She felt regret about killing, but in some cases it was a must, at least that's what she told herself. Not long before the attack on the Plastic Faction city she had been notified that she would relocate towards Party City, setting up camp there. Once set up, she was tasked with infiltrating the local factions, the call for Mercs, was the perfect cover.

Jacob Sanders

Name: Jacob Sanders

Age: 28

Appearance:

Faction: Power Faction (Known for make cheap reactors and power cells based on Space and Water faction designs)

Skills: Electronics, engineering, computers, hacking, trade

Genetic enhancements: Radiation resistance: Cells take less damage from radiation, letting him take more radiation before getting poisoned by it. He is still mutated by it, though, and can still be burned by it.

Personality: Calculating and strategic, he prefers to look over a situation and plan everything. This is a useful trait in an engineer, as it means they rarely make a mistake, but he doesn't react very quickly in combat. He tries not to hurt others except in self defense or defense of others, and only considers you a friend once he thinks you will follow that ideal as well. That said, he's willing to do a lot for money, just not hurt people.

Bio: He was born as a part of Power faction and was trained as one of them, with his education mainly focusing on math and science. Though as a young adult he repaired plenty of reactors, he decided that he wanted to see more of Mars and signed up as a salesman, taking Power faction goods to other cities to try to sell them.

He came to Party city with a load of small aneutronic reactors and power cells to try and open up a place for his faction in a city where they didn't have any market share, but shortly after meeting with a few vendors in the city he heard of a Space faction force nearby. In order to protect his interests here, as well as the lives of his perspective customers, he decided to offer his services to Party city's security force.

Equipment: Wristcomp, Low-caliber rail gun (single shot and full auto settings), Water faction nanotube mesh pressure suit, Modified Metal faction cargo hauler (pressurized vehicle with large cargo area, sometimes used for troop transport once seating has been installed. It has a Power faction aneutronic reactor to recharge its power storage, which is made up of two banks of Power faction power cells supplemented by the standard hydrogen fuel cells it was built with. Armor is standard titanium alloy plating, but it is unarmed.)
