Generally Cross is a character that doesn’t exist in New York City, so that’ll have to be discussed. I’ve put an unrevised and very rough version of his CS that I was initially working on for Create a Hero Season II but since this is a thing it might be more apt to throw a modified version here that I can tweak and play with while we get into the basics of the story and start publicly discussing what we want to do with this.

When Peter Lothry was young he was a vicious youth full of anger and hatred who inflicted it on those who even looked at him slightly wrong. It was because of this that he gained a sort of infamous reputation as “the Lothry kid you do not want to cross” by everyone from his family to innocent bystanders who witnessed his temperament— a temperament that would constantly get him in trouble. However in Peter’s later years he found through trials of faith how to hone his wrath into something productive and focus onto those who would do wrong to others. It is with that in mind that he seeks to become a spirit of vengeance and retribution as he looks to redeem himself for his family’s sins at any cost. To say Peter is zealous is an understatement. However, Peter in his current mindset is patient and determined rather than impulsive and brash. It is with conviction due to his training as a religious monk that he believes that there is no room for error, no room for failure, and no room for emotional exuberance. Peter still reflects sadly on his past and goes forward trying to do things right and correct wrongs by not only his mission against his family but by the wrongs of thieves, murderers, and psychopaths. In this way his personality can be seen as one that is sympathetic, just, zealous, and patient.
O R I G I N
EARLY LIFE & CAREER 1930-1958
Born the son of Francis Lothry, the patriarch of the Lothry Crime Family, Peter had an abrasive life in store for his future and despite his mother’s strong faith that led to a religious upbringing it would be a long time before Peter truly accepted god and become the hero he has become. Generally speaking, for the majority of his life, Francis was born with a silver spoon in his mouth while his father controlled a variety of businesses through his criminal connections and more legitimate control of the majority of the shipping and industrial infrastructure of the ports of the city. This allowed Peter to have a wide range of opportunities and found himself actively dealing with harassment in school from his more pompous classmates who while also cut from a silver spoon considered themselves untouchable even with Peter’s father being who he was— a fact that was slightly true as his father valued business over family. But that didn’t stop Peter from punching people who crossed him in the teeth.
A habit that consistently got him into a lot of trouble and various lectures throughout elementary school, middle school, and high school. Earning a reputation as “The Battling Bruiser” by his senior year, he became somewhat of a minor celebrity to the paparazzi, his fellow classmates, and his enemies. A reputation that he’d take with him as his father’s underboss, Rupert Blodis, took him under his wing to “use that anger productively in a proper workplace”. This would be around the time Peter went off to university for his business & engineering degrees to show that he wasn’t just a mindless brawler to the public and his mother. But despite that he juggled school and “work”. However, lines were drawn in the sand and eventually he was made to make a decision he didn’t want to do and people he grew to care about found themselves killed; angry he confronts Rupert about the conflictions to the point the older man announces that he is a “failed” Lothry and lets him know that the test was sanctioned by his own father to see if he had what it takes to be a real associate of the family— a test that Peter had failed. He is tossed into a car trunk in a junkyard. But his destiny is not to die like a trapped animal, evidently a fact he learns when he wakes up to not the afterlife… but the appearance of a church. It is explained to him that someone had found him beaten and bruised outside of the local junkyard and that the clergy had taken him in to recover. Peter thinks back to his mother’s teachings and leaves his city behind following the experience and journeys to find himself. He winds up in northern Georgia, and begins studying at a monastery. A monastery that would shape him into a weapon of god.

Peter Lothry does not have any powers, but on the off-hand he is extremely skilled and conditioned. Throughout his life Peter has been taught many skills and techniques. Starting as a young upstart son of a mob boss Peter was taught the basic skills of a member of an organized crime cartel which included firearms, lockpicking, driving, and the knowledge of how the organization works. When that life ended he soon found himself honing his body and mind which led to mastering several martial arts, sculpting his body into a perfect weapon, mastering parkour and free range acrobatics, memorizing religious scriptures, and putting his business and engineering savvy mind to good use.

Female
D - O - B
March 12th, 2656 (20)
ORIGIN
The Burrow of Seattle, Pacific Northwest Territories
PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
Anastasia has had a long and chequered life since the earliest days of her life as an emotional prospective prodigy to her teenage years as a stoic mecha pilot. Her comrades, rivals, and peers have assigned her nicknames and constructed presumptions about her since they’ve known her; a fact that has earned her nicknames like Stein, Little Dragon, and Kalfox.EXE. But who is she beyond the rumors and gossip really?
Raised to be the perfect soldier for the Volkov Security Systems (VSS) since she was ten years old, Anastasia has always had one interest and one interest alone— the corporation. As such Stein has never had a defined moral compass of her own to speak of and has always took a pragmatic approach to such ideologies. The idea of “good” and “evil” never really becoming a tangible concept for the young girl, though she was far from ignorant to the concept of ethics albeit warped ones due to her restricted and closed off childhood she held. After having been conditioned several times over to rid her of her “feminine” emotions and weak traits by corporate instructors, Anastasia was drilled in countless lessons that planned to make her content with not only the actions of the company but her new role in society. However, it wasn’t until she broke down after an incident that confirmed her first kill in her NC that brought her to throw away what was Anastasia Kalfox and embrace a new person entirely. Her field commander of her squadron, Roxa Vox, told her that she couldn’t give in to her emotions and feelings about what words were said to her; that she needed to be strong like stone. This would be the saying that gave her the nickname “Stein” and one she’d replaced her given name with.
Though removing her emotions with pragmatic stoicism would be a challenge that even by her adult years she couldn’t completely erase. While her cold demeanor was represented through coldness, apathy towards others, pragmatic ideologies, and icy honesty there lies the fire within her as well that she cannot seem to control nor seems to want to. When she is particularly annoyed, offended, or confused she gets emotionally enraptured by anger, hate, pride, and fear. It is true that Anastasia is not entirely without her anxieties and issues; though some say it proves the belief that the best NC pilots are the ones who are psychologically damaged from the onset. But whilst that theory suggests they are good potential soldiers, if it has some truth to it there lies the issue of the people themselves.
Despite being aggressive, stoic, and generally hard to read or understand Anastasia isn’t without a nature of friendliness and kindness. Due to her particular upbringing she identifies most with other people younger or relatively so to her age and as such has no issue treating them no different than she would treat any other adult-aged individual. However her neutral tones may make it difficult for more sympathetic and emotionally aligned individuals to warm up to her. But Anastasia is not abhorrent toward ties of friendship, attraction, or even love; though it is clear that such emotions would take a long time to show in a way that seems sensible. Perhaps the answers to Anastasia Kalfox lie not only on her training as a soldier but also in her early childhood?

EFFECTS OF POLARIS SHIFT
When “perfect synchronization” with a NC occurs, the human mind adapts and is affected by an infinite possibility of psychological effects— some of which including a “bleeding effect” of previous pilot attributes and memories. These can also affect an individual physically, though generally it leans toward mental disorders and issues. This is the curse a pilot bears.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Anastasia Kalfox was born in the Megacity of Seattle in 2656 to one of the minor executives of the region by the name of Ingram Kalfox with an unknown, undocumented mother that was believed to be a Volkov pilot that was killed in action in the months following.

In the late weeks during the December of 2677 it seemed that things began to take a turn for the girl who had become known as Stein Kalfox. The Seattle branch of The Volkov Corporation had recently taken measures to weed out aspects of their military budget that they found problematic, or so was the “official” story— though many skeptics and critics of Volkov believe it had more to do with the investigation of Ingram Kalfox and his actions that caused him to disappear without a trace. The word was prior to his disappearance he was to have his entire career put on trial after “suspicious circumstances” came out that he was trading company secrets for profit. As a byproduct this resulted in the removal of Stein’s reputation, resources, status, and camaraderie within the company; a company that would hastily abandon her during the middle of a mission in the Alaskan territories which resulted in severe damages to Stein’s NC. Some say Stein was left for dead. Others say it was planned all along.
But, whichever the case may have been the result was the same with Stein being on the verge of being decimated by fringe raiders who were looking to eliminate her and reap the rewards. However, this was not to be. With the arrival of Sophia Torres, the operations commander of the independent faction known as New Anchorage, it would feel like Stein was saved from a death wish but it came with a favor. Stein would work for Sophia to pay off her “debt” as a show of gratitude. Thankful for the help and believing she had little other options with a half-blown NC she joined New Anchorage and carried on as a mecha pilot under Torres. However, it would be concerning when Sophia Torres disappeared without a trace thus leaving New Anchorage without a military leader. The ruling council of the settlement hired newly independent commander Michael Graham to replace her, though the reasons why are obscure at best. Regardless, Stein continued to operate as Graham brought in more pilots in a recruitment drive in the following weeks.
Passing Commander Graham’s ultimatum at the top of all of the pilots served Stein her first commendation at New Anchorage. It is now March 1st of 2678 and Stein eagerly awaits her first field assignment with her new squad.

APPEARANCE
Having been conditioned to be a soldier since she was ten years old and serving on the battlefield since she was eleven, the woman known as Stein Kalfox exhibits a cold but determined presence. Youthful in appearance, most people make presumptions upon Stein’s abilities especially considering she is not tall (5’6”) nor overtly muscular due to her deceptively unassuming physique. Though what Stein makes up for in appearance she quantifies in atmospheric expressions that could be described as “fire and ice” due to the combination of scowls, grimaces, narrowed brows and cold emotionless eyes. In form of her conventional appearance Stein holds bright blonde hair with pale blue irises; her hair done up in generally a disheveled manner depending on its current length. She has had short hair that runs slightly past her ears, but for some reason when her hair gets long she tends to keep it there in terms of preference; a long hair she draws into rough disheveled ponytails, or pigtails. Whether she considers it a tactic to keep up the façade that she’s a meek little girl or enjoys the look of things is unknown to anyone but Stein.
TRAITS
Mechanic: Stein is also an average NC technician due to the responsibility being forced on her upon training. She can maintain, repair, and comprehend facets of her mech though it is likely she requires a specialist when it comes down to finer notions of technical work such as upgrades, reinforcements, and maintenance she could have overlooked.
Perfectionist: A common saying uttered by Stein is “Do better with each attempt. Push yourself so there can be no possible margin of error to the point of logical limitation”. It is in this that Stein constantly strives to push herself physically beyond her limits with each exercise, trial, or contest. If she completed a run in ten minutes and nine seconds she will want to do her next run in nine minutes and eight seconds. This is obviously due to the dangers of failure in her profession but even for a corporate soldier it is said that Stein takes things too far.
Reactive Tactics: Stein is a woman of analysis, perception, and instincts— as such her skills as a soldier and fighter outside of her NC are accented and enhanced by such reactive abilities. She’s quick, dexterous, fast and seems to be able to react to potential altercations quick and efficiently.
Soldier: Outside of being a highly skilled pilot with a high synchronization score, Stein is a soldier outside of the mecha just the same. She’s proficient in small arms weapons such as handguns and low-powered submachine guns, skilled in close quarters combat with her hands due to being trained in various martial arts, and is decent with a combat knife.

OBSERVATIONAL NOTES
The Little Dragon is a medium sized mecha that was designed by The Volkov Corporation some years ago. Painted in a metallic sheen of crimson with black undertones, the Little Dragon flies the colors of its former corporation though the branding of the company logo has since been removed as well as the paint faded due to its constant battles it has been forced to endure in harsh environments. But despite this wear and tear the Little Dragon is not weak nor is it worse off for it— it has survived two lifetimes of pilots before Stein and will continue to do so when it moves hands in the future.
In addition to its standard antimatter power core and cockpit, the mecha is fitted with conventional and experimental equipment— though it doesn’t hold more than two modes within its function as a NC; thus the standard module and the advanced module that allows it to work at a hyper reactive level are the only ones installed and available to a pilot.

Name
Xaara Vann
Age
Twenty-Nine
Appearance
Xaara is unassuming, standing at a height on the lower end of the interstellar average for her ethnicity and gender; a fact that has been often utilized to her benefit in busy crowds when tracking down contracts and escaping from various individuals. When considering her attire, Xaara prefers wearing simplistic synthetic fibers that are the norm among the lower income brackets though one thing that seems to be a recurring preference is a jacket derived of ballistic fibers and design to not only keep her warm but also protected by conventional weapons. Xaara’s hair is drawn roughly and at mid-length with her bangs held by unremarkable clips to keep them uniform and as a form to not obstruct her vision. Her hair, which was once blonde, has for several years of her life been dyed into a pale teal color. Her eyes, cerulean, appear reminiscent of her personality—cold, icy, and unforgiving.
Traits
Strengths
Dexterous: Xaara realizes she needs to be quick to survive in tense situations despite her incessant need to be completely prepared for a scenario. She isn’t tall or strong so she has had to adapt to be quick and clever instead.
Piloting: For many years, Xaara had to operate independently in her career as a bounty hunter and freelance pilot. She doesn’t boast any victories over pirates, smugglers, or renegade militants but the records that can be unraveled attached to her dossier shows that she has more than credentials to graduate from flight school.
Sniper: Perhaps Xaara’s biggest asset is her ability to strike from a distance—with a high precision energy rifle outfitted with a multi-functional scope. Even beyond her capability as a fighter pilot is her talents as a long-range sharpshooter, a reality that has ended the careers of various criminals throughout the interstellar territories.
Trained Combatant: Xaara appears relatively competent in terms of close quarters combat. A fact that encompasses archaic studies like swordplay but also the martial arts. Whether Xaara’s understanding of either forms come from could be anybody’s guess as she has made it abundantly clear that like her background she has no interest in sharing the facts of their origin.

Weaknesses
Perfectionist: Xaara is finicky, almost to the point of madness—a fact that is abundantly clear in her methodology and belief that if you have to do something that you should do it correctly. This obsession with the details and preparations for things is a double-edged sword that has led her to argue incessantly on multiple occasions. For men and women of action, this trait can seem impossible to work with.
Reclusive: Even amongst those close to her, Xaara remains a constant curiosity. This is, in part, due to her tendency to be reclusive and guarded about her past and experiences. This particular predisposition makes her seen as difficult and puzzling; a reality that has led to an amount of distrust between her partners and contacts. It brings the question—is she just antisocial or is she hiding something?
Short: As aforementioned, Xaara is not particularly tall or imposing. She holds a somewhat athletic build due to her line of work, but this does not mean she can last any amount of time in a brawl without using her size and intelligence to her advantage. As such Xaara can count the volume of scenarios where a situation ended with her being pinned against a wall by her throat or thrown across a room.
Socially Inept: As skilled as Xaara is with a rifle and blade, she is often limited in the profession when working alone due to the fact that she is socially inept; so much so that she cannot comprehend why people are angry when she gives a blunt, matter-of-fact response that seems to have an absence of empathy or relatability. It is this reason that she’s a notoriously bad investigator when she doesn’t have a trail to follow from a potential target or a partner that can handle the social aspect of gathering information.
