Star Wars, I am down for some star wars, sure as sure.
"God have mercy on every remaining soul in this lifetime, and grant me steady hand and steady aim to protect those around me in times of need. Amen.

Name: Alexei Stukov



Age: 16

Personality: Stukov is practically the definition of hiding the scars and internal damage with humor and deflection. On the surface, the young man is rather well adjusted, easily approachable, and seems to almost enjoy focusing on helping and discussing the problems and issues others might have. Most have written this off as simply a natural desire to do well for his fellow man in these dark times, and he seems to prefer to be seen in this manner. With an aversion to unnecessary bloodshed and violence, Stukov tends to be a voice of reason when all else fails, being reluctant to resort to violence but frighteningly efficient in dolling it out, in the attempt to end it as soon as possible, as far as anyone can figure out. Stukov clings to his deeply religious beliefs, almost always able to be found on an installations church or chapel, in the hopes that his shaken, battered faith and soul might still bring about some divine intervention.

Under the surface, however, Stukov is as damaged as one would expect from a child who survived this long. Witnessing first hand the death of half his family has made the boy almost suicidal in the protection of others, sometimes almost seeming like he wants to finally join the rest of his family as he puts himself in harms way, in and out of the Framewerks, with belief that his god will protect him or take him when it is time, and not one moment before. Having never properly addressed the deaths of his family, the mention and focus on such could bring about emotional and mental breakdown in the boy still.

Motive to live: Stukov is done watching and waiting for the end, and intends to keep putting himself between his allies, friends even, and the invading Cruxi, and hopefully save his fellow man. And if this means he dies in the process, so be it.

Background:
Suffering and loss are almost a staple of any survivor, to some degree or another, but to retain one's faith and belief in higher powers is far rarer.

His family was stationed on the middle ring of colonies, not the outermost destined to be hit first, but perhaps seeing a fate considerably far worse, for they would be the ones the most drawn out fighting and resistance would occur. Both his parents were already veterans and were the first to be called up and sent to war when the time came. Stukov could barely remember either of them, but he could still remember their love and the day they left him with his older siblings. Living on a military base with siblings he often fought with made life difficult for him growing up, and he found himself often in a church or chapel, confiding with the priests and chaplains in his fears and worries, and found a stability in that part of his life.

The word his parents were dead came back, and it was as harsh a blow to Stukov as it was his older siblings, who both volunteered together in the name of vengeance, leaving their youngest brother all alone as they marched off to basic training. When the planet came under attack by the Cruxi, both his brother and sister returned as armed soldiers and joined in the resistance against them as shuttles of civilians were evacuated. Stukov was dragged onto the escape shuttle as he watched his older siblings get scythed down in front of him. The chaplain who saved his life, by dragging him onto the shuttle, consoled the now completely alone child, which was not easy for the man as he still had his family and could not truly address the horror and loss as the boy felt it.

Stukov threw himself into working rather than grieve for his family, unsure how to or how he could really move on without them. So instead of that, he dedicated himself to solving other people's problems instead of ever considering his own. His faith and determination to try and be a help to others eventually saw him fighting tooth and nail for entry into the weaponizing of Framewerks. End the war, and the suffering and loss of others due to it would be gone, so it was only natural that Stukov, despite his aversion to violence brought on by, on a subconscious level, the graphic deaths of his siblings, that he would enter one of the most violent and war ridden areas of the armed forces still fighting back against the Cruxi invasion.

Notable Deaths: Stukov has no family left, both parents dead from being mustered as part of the first waves to investigate and respond to the loss of colonial signals. His older brother and sister, enlisted together at the same time, were also both slain ensuring their younger brother had time to flee.

Other things: Stukov comes from a long lineage of military tradition, generations of the family having served and met in the armed forces, so military life comes naturally to the young man more so than one would expect.




Framewerk Code Name: Daemon



Signature Weapon System: A Mid range Framewerk, the primary weapon system installed into the Daemon Framewerk is the Type 177 Heavy Support System. A belt fed, assault rifle style weapon, the Type 177 presents a balance of traits in exchange for lacking unusually extremes in performance. Heavy caliber caseless rounds are fed from internal magazines, the belt covered by a protective sheath that, with power fed from the Daemon's power core, feeds each round into the Type 177. Each round is designed with maximum penetration in mind, and each round is charged with experimental levels of electricity theorized to be capable of punching through barrier defenses, while the rounds design promotes penetration against physical armor.

Secondary Weapon System: The most obvious secondary system is the shoulder mounted Type 14 Prototype Counter Measure (PCM) device. Each tube holds several charges of flare like devices that emit lock scrambling emissions across the known bands of use, and include several theorized bands that may be employed in enemy smart weapon systems. To effectively launch the countermeasures, the Daemon has to cease fire with the Type 177 due to recoil interference throwing off PCM launches. Beyond this, the Daemon utilizes an advanced high output energy core to supply both weapon and operating systems, and includes overhauled servos to support many times its own weight, giving it an unorthodox means of close quarters combat, and other utility use where extreme loads need raised and carried.

Armor Type: Heavy Experimental - Numerous heavy, overlapping layers of conventional armor provide the outer core of defense, with inner layers forged with newly created, energy resilient metals. New and barely tested processing methods have been used to increase outer layer resilience against beam and other non ballistic weapons many times over that of almost any other conventional Framewerk in use, experimental or otherwise, and maintain conventional durability. Outside of space, it is not capable of combat flight and is one of the slowest models being deployed for use. Clearly designed for heavy levels of damage absorption and survival.

Synchro Rate: 99%

Special Ability: TBD
@Eisenhorn
Yes, it was fully realized. 40K is awesome. It's not going to operate like a stealth unit, however.

@Penultimate_Pi
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Pacific Rim is a pretty good example of how mecha of that size would work in real life, if you want to check out a good flick.

Now the pic's working. Can't go wrong with BRS.

The missiles and shield are fine. The sheet's now accepted.


Hah, most excellent, more of an Imperial Guard fellow myself, but the Tau have some neat toys, stealth included or otherwise. And the CS is done, there might be some stuff off considering I'm past 24 hours since the last time I slept.

Hmm, I don't see any reason why you should hesitate on coming on in. I'm sure someone will greet your forces, whether they are 100% sober or not, that I cannot guarantee. So unless Apollo has plans that make that a problem, I'd say feel free to act.
@Shoryu
Nothing wrong with a cute pony girl, but they also won't fit in the RP, genetic manipulation involved or not.

@redbaron1234
No, they don't have to. In fact, my character's mecha is only vaguely humanoid.


The use of a W40k reference makes my approval rise, whether realized or not. Even if the Tau are not a favorite of mine. I should have my CS done in the next hour or so before I go fall asleep.
Hmm, perhaps we could gather some new folks during our time in Feroxia, if anyone knows anyone who would be interested?
This seems most excellent, so consider my interest placed here. I'll be working on a CS then, but figured I'd drop some word that I am interested in the meantime.
Stukov was quiet as he had followed the Inquisitor on to the shuttle. There was nothing else for him to say right now, not to the inquisitor or anyone else for that matter. They all knew what they were going down there to do, in a broad sense of the words. Fully dressed out as a mercenary bodyguard, he calmly took his seat across from the Inquisitor, strapping into the seat and relaxing. There was nothing he could do to control the ship he was on, so there was no sense being nervous or panicky about entry into the planet's atmosphere and landing.

He was not fond of unarmed transports, but once again, he could not control that and an armed transport would be more suspicious descending on an area of celebration and relaxation. So he kept his arms crossed over his chest as the descended, and eventually they would land and the ship settled on the ground. He unhooked the straps and stood up as the Inquisitor and Psyker both walked off the transport. Affixing his breathing mask and the flash proof shades and walked down the ramp, putting his hands into his coat pockets as the psyker spoke on the fact the planet might as well be an alter of the god of desire.

Not a good sign, Stukov suspected, considering they were also looking for a page of unknown contents. The demonettes that were sworn to that dark god were also as dangerous, if not more so, up close than from a distance. He rather hoped whatever the psyker was sensing was just a side effect of a luxury planet and there were no shrines to any dark gods. He was scanning his surroundings, not for the luxury going on, but for hidden security and threats to the group of a more mundane manner. But he did respond to the psyker's comment on the manner, inserting his own comment. His visual scanning and speaking concealed from a distant viewer thanks to the mask and shades. "Ma'am, forgive me if I pray your wrong on the matter, or at least don't encounter that one's servants. I don't see any overt defenses, boss, but I can bet our every move is being watched out here. And not a lick of cover out here if things go south."

i think eisenhorn might be waiting for you to do the post of walking to the hangar :P

as for the rest, i have no idea where in the warp they might be :O


Nailed it in one, sure as sure.
Well, Stukov is with Zhevon when he leaves, unless you want me to add a small edit having our neighborhood Armsman head down to the Aquila, since that is probably a likely choice of ship.
