@Athinar a couple points..
-it is unlikely that he'd get discharged just for having his machine destroyed. Especially in wartime, the only real ways that he would get discharged is if he finished his service tour and quit(which doesn't seem to fit his character), got injured beyond the hope of being combat ready, or was caught doing something illegal. Otherwise he'd probably just get reassigned to a new unit.
- I feel like I've said this before, but all shield generators have 5 wt, except for class 5 which weighs more and class 1 which weighs less. Also, how did he acquire a class 4 shield? That is a very expensive and very valuable piece of equipment.
- Also, how did he acquire a Sentinel to modify in the first place? One doesn't just find upper tier UEE mechs just lying around.
- Your missile launcher is mounted on the back, but the external power cores are also mounted on the back.. This is a conflict. Also for missile launcher list the number of munitions it holds
- Same goes for your primary weapon, rate of fire, magazine size, and caliber please
- Your MAS balance is off, it appears to be at 34/30 WT and 34/40 power

@vietmyke

1: Made the discharge voluntary. After such a trauma, and pressure from everyone else to quit, it would make sense for him to leave, right?
2: Whoops. Yeah, you did say that, now that I re-read the infotext. Sorry.
3: Changed the Shield Class to 2 and former MAS chassis he built on to a Sentry.
4: Removed the Missile launcher.
5: Added RoF, Mag. Size, and Caliber to the Valkyrie.
6: I fixed the MAS balance... I think. Don't quote me on that, and I'll be rechecking the math as soon as I post this.

@vietmyke Thanks for that! I've been reading the other thread, about the 7th MAD, and I have a better view of what the UEE military is like.

Jamy Binson

Name: Binson, Jamy
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Nationality: UEE
Callsign/Codename: Jupiter
Kills: 21

Psychological Analysis: Jamy was always fascinated with the MAS. No matter if they were but civilian craft, he was always finding a way to be around them, and even work with them, when he could. He has a constantly positive, if not incessantly cheerful attitude, and provides a balance to the darkness of the universe.

Employment Record: Jamy was born into a moderately well-off family, even with all the overpopulation of the UEE core worlds. The reason was simple. His father was a First Sergeant in the UEE Marines, and his mother the Lieutenant Commander of the frigate he served on. With his family history, you'd have thought he would've gone into the Navy, or Marines, but he didn't, rather, he went into MAS pilot school, as he had become obsessed with the machines, after a battle squadron flew escort to the ship.

Quickly rising to the top of his class, he graduated with flying colors, and went into service with a PTX-088 Centurion Mk2-E (Experimental), taking the fight to the Coalition. He was a terror to behold, and was known as 'The Hammer of the Empire' in some systems, his squadron efficiently mopped up resistance, even if they weren't in the 101st. However, when a C-MAD division arrived, this time with 4 Hardballers, although they were in their experimental stages as well, his people were hard-pressed to defeat them, and the resulting battle ended in the loss of the capital ship, Gemma Stellatum, the world they were fighting above, and the division that Jamy was in. In addition to this, his MAS was destroyed beyond repair, and he only survived because he ejected. This defeat was too much for both his comrades and himself to accept, and there was pressure from everyone on the ship he was transferred to to quit, after he finished his tour, so he did. This was a tough time for Jamy, as his normally positive attitude was transformed into something... less.

Feeling like a failure, he retreated to the FEZ, and withdrew from all contact, working as, essentially, an orbital traffic cop for some backwater world. However, one day, he was contacted by Captain Terin, getting offered a job as a pilot in the Steel Hunters PMC. Hoping to do some good once more, he accepted, and has flown with the Steel Hunters for five years. Even though there are some... grayish jobs, he still finds the job to be a very satisfying occupation. His time with the Steel Hunters has brought back his positive attitude, so

Equipment: His UEE Service Medal, a 12mm pistol, 8 in. combat knife, plasma cutter (tool).

'Bull' MK1-C

MAS Specifications

Designation: Bull Mk1-C
Role: Heavy Fire Support / Assault
Chassis: Medium
Engine: Quad Core Power System 20 PWR
Operating Time: 14 Hours
Description: It wouldn't be obvious by looking at it, but the Bull used to be a Sentry. He had found the MAS abandoned in the aftermath of a battle. Usually, one side or the other would've taken it as salvage, but the battle was so devastating and Pyrrhic for both the UEE and Coalition, it was left alone, mistaken for debris, so he convinced Terin to let him take and modify it. It was heavily damaged, (with about 82% of the critical systems obliterated, the only remaining parts were the chassis and the shield,)the only system that wasn't completely destroyed was the Class 2 Shield, so he built onto the wreck over the years, and Jamy was able to make it what you know as the Bull. While heavier than most Medium craft, due to it's massive armoring, it is still as maneuverable as the rest.
Systems:
2WT/7PWR

'Valkyrie' Class A Heavy Gatling Cannon- 6WT/2PWR This heavy variant of the Valkyrie Gatling Gun is a terror to behold. It shreds through armor, and has ammunition galore. However, due to its extra ammunition, it weighs a bit more than normal. It fires 6,000 shells per minute, (100 a second,) and fires 20mm rounds, and is belt-fed. The ammunition capacity for the Valkyrie Class A is a maximum of 6000 shells.

'Bellona' Plasma-Edged Broadsword- 3WT/5PWR The Bellona is a long sword, with a plasma cutting edge that can be ignited for extra damage. It has no guard at the hilt, for it is meant for one thing. Destruction.

CD-2 Heavy Alloy Plating- 7WT/0PWR Heavy armor allows for the Bull to take significant amounts of damage, and still function.

64VD-UEE Class 2 Shield- 5WT/5PWR Jamy outfitted the Bull with the best shields he could acquire, and those happened to be military-grade.

Improved Suspension System- +10WT/-5PWR Often added to MAS's that require higher weight caps without sacrificing mobility, improving the MAS's suspension allows it to carry significantly more weight at the cost of power.

Steel Hunters Mechanical Specialization- +5WT/0PWR Surviving in the Free-Enterprise Zone requires tenacity and wit. So I copied this flavour text.

Improved Reactor Output- -3WT/+5PWR Due to the heavy power draw of its systems, the Bull has needed several Power Core enhancements over the years.

M-55 External Power Cores- -5WT/+10PWR Due to its massive power requirements, the Bull has been outfitted with several external power cores.

J-25 Booster System- 3WT/5PWR The Bull is capable of sustained flight, for extra battlefield mobility. Mounted on the lower back, around the 'hip' of the Bull, under the M-55 Power cores, the J-25 Boosters cause the Bull to thrust itself through the air, akin to a brick flying, rather than like a human with a jetpack.

Countermeasure System- 1WT/0PWR The Bull has several countermeasures, so it doesn't get destroyed quickly. However, due to it having slightly more ammunition than other MAS craft, it weights slightly more, essentially doubling its countermeasure stores at a light weight.

Mk56 Upgraded Internal Targeting Suite- 0WT/3PWR Increasing the effective range and accuracy of the MAS's weapon system, Upgraded Targeting Suites has a Smart AI that quickly determines range as well as any other environmental factors faster than MAs's the onboard computer, and projects the predicted weapon path on the user's HUD.

v2.3 Smart-Target AI- 0WT/3PWRBy improving the standard MAS AI with a Smart Targeting AI, MAS's can now acquire multiple targets simultaneously, and can now track up to 40 targets, including missiles, and other MAS's, instead of the standard 5.

Finished! Tell me what ya think!

EDIT: I was kinda going for the "Was going to be the hero of a story, but failed," kinda vibe.

"Does a mall baby eat chili fries?" <- What the heck does that mean?

@Dedonus

I think it's supposed to indicate that girls/boys that hung out in malls eat chili fries a LOT. To be fair, I remember chili fries being a big thing back then.

Oh, btw, I'm working on my CS, it's almost done.

I'll get up a CS soon.

@VATROU Well, sounds reasonable.
Now here are my favorites, at least those I remember.
Pretty Much anything Batman- Exactly what it says on the tin.

Anything Marvel- I read my dad's original Marvel comic books (bought from a drug store) so much, that they started to fall apart.

Samurai Jack- OH MY GOD I loved this show. I watched it all the time. A time-travelling samurai fighting robots, beasts, and a GOD that sent him to the future? HELLA AWESOME.

Toaru Majutsu no Index- Aaaand now we get into the anime. A show about, where, in a city of espers with superpowers, a boy whose only power is to negate others' falls into the world of magic after a nun, known as Index, jumps into his life.

Tiger And Bunny- Corporate-sponsored supers. 'Nuff said.

@VATROU The blades are purely physical, and once created, their form cannot be changed, making them essentially invincible. However, they have the cutting power of a steel blade, and can be corroded. They are an unknown ferrous metal, so they can be moved around by magnets and metallomancers, but Josie still exerts the primary control over them.

@OnlyThePie On the Pad? I took a look at it, but I didn't really have the time to write in it. I'll take another look, later.

Interested. I really like the idea of this.
