I figured the villain team could use another member.



I'll have the personality section done in a jiffy.

Edit: Personality section is done.
Anatolius

Upon awakening, the first thing Anatolius felt was pain. Far from the agony one would expect from a bolt of lightning, it was more of a slight ache in his muscles. In all likelihood, it was simply fatigue from the battle. This could only mean one thing: by the grace of the Lord, his life had been preserved. When the sound of nearby conversation reached his ears, the Hellene concluded that his comrades had retrieved him from the field, and were already celebrating their victory over the usurper Eugenius. Thus, Anatolius opened his eyes, and was promptly greeted to a sight entirely at odds with his expectations.

The legionary found himself lying upon a floor within a room of decidedly foreign construction, surrounded by individuals in equally foreign garb. After rising to his feet, Anatolius took a moment to inspect these strangers more closely. The tall, bearded man likely hailed from one of the countless northern tribes inhabiting Magna Germania. The woman was of Mediterranean stock, but her primitive garb didn't so much as resemble that of the peoples he was familiar with. One appeared to be a Cataphract of some description, judging by his fully enclosed suit of armour. Two of the men bore somewhat Hunnic features, but wore radically different garments. As for the remaining two, the Hellene was far too baffled by their outlandish clothes to even begin to comprehend their heritage.

Among strange individuals in a strange land, Anatolius was at first unsure of how to proceed. It was at this point that the incomprehensible speech from earlier suddenly became clear to him. A man by the name of Artemis had utilized some brand of sorcery to bring them here. Not only that, but they were to fight in an arena, lest they become slaves to the residing lords of this land. The Hellene was familiar with such practices, for in spite of the Church's best efforts, the struggle to curb them within the Empire had yet to conclude. After some rumination, Anatolius finally spoke up.

"I have led my fellow legionarii in many a battle against those who would challenge Roma. Of the four that remain amongst us, I will be more than willing to lead them against this 'champion', if they will have me."

Still breathing.
Finding a single image that fit what I was going for proved difficult (there is a disturbing lack of good art depicting the Late Romans), so I used the images at the bottom of the CS to explain what his armour would look like.

Edit: Finished the CS.



I'll hammer out the rest tomorrow morning.

I decided to roll with a legionary from the waning years of the Western Empire (4th-5th Century A.D.), since you did say I could be a bit flexible with the time period.
While I'm mildly interested, I'd like to get something cleared up.

For the legionary, the image and descriptor blurb implies that they're from the earlier centuries of the Roman Empire. However, you listed 800 AD as the time period, by which point the Empire was decidedly more Greek and Christian in its mannerisms; furthermore, the Roman style of armour had changed rather drastically by that point.

I'm assuming it's a simple typo, but clarification would be nice.
Character's Name: Mikhail Fyodorovich Orlov

Character's Age: 65
Note: Due to the advanced medical technology in the Post Disaster universe, Mikhail is remarkably healthy for his age, possessing the vitality of a (paraplegic) man 20 years his junior.

Character's Gundam/Mobile Suit:

  • 1st mobile suit (Start of rp) being used: EB-06s Graze Commander Type (It has been refitted to accommodate the Alaya-Vijnana System. The colour scheme is that of the space model Graze.)
  • 2nd mobile suit (mid rp) being used: EB-AX2 Graze Ein
  • 3rd mobile suit (near end of rp) being used: EB-AX2 Graze Ein with a second Ahab Reactor.

List of Gundam/mobile suit's weapons/miscellaneous armaments:



Universe your character is from: Post Disaster (Iron-Blooded Orphans)

Link to gundam site your getting your information from: Gundam Wiki

Appearance: Face

Once a man of great height and burly physique, the loss of his legs has rendered Mikhail into a far less imposing figure. Now confined to a wheelchair when outside his MS, he seems more suited to a senior's home than a hangar. As is the case for all humans fitted with the AV system, a series of protrusions can be seen on his spine.

As the recently appointed branch commander of Mars, Mikhail wears the red-coloured uniform of his organization. Given his lack of legs, the uniform was modified accordingly.

Genetic Type: Enhanced Human (Alaya-Vijnana System)

Biography: Mikhail was born to the house of Orlov, a moderately wealthy family from Arbrau's Russian holdings. As the fifth of seven sons sired by Fyodor Orlov, one might think him destined to inherit a mere pittance of the family's wealth, if anything. However, Fyodor fancied a practice that was best described as 'meritocratic gavelkind.' In other words, he would divvy it up 'fairly' amongst his heirs, prioritizing the child he favoured the most.

As Fyodor strongly preferred martial pursuits above all others, it seemed natural to most of his sons that enlisting with Gjallarhorn was their best chance at coming out ahead of their siblings. Out of the six that applied, Mikhail and two of his brothers were noted for their ability to pilot and to lead a unit with equal prowess, while the remaining three were applauded for their impeccable piloting abilities. Thus, the brothers Orlov were deployed throughout Gjallarhorn's jurisdiction, so that they may uphold peace and order across the solar system. As for the remaining brother, he found great success in the field of luxury furniture, and went on to establish himself as a self-made man.

Having been appointed to the Arianrhod Fleet stationed upon the Moon, Mikhail saw a great deal of combat in space, mostly consisting of stamping out pirate activity and the occasional mutiny. After several years of service, Mikhail had managed to either outlive or outrank his siblings, leaving him poised to retire into a life of comfort and luxury. Unfortunately, a disastrous altercation with a pack of Brewers left the esteemed Captain Orlov comatose and legless. Fyodor's estate and holdings were divvied up amongst his remaining sons, and Mikhail was kept under supervision in a Gjallarhorn medical ward.

He awakened following the Battle of Edmonton, whereupon Mikhail immediately attempted to strangle the nearest member of the hospital staff, causing him to rather unceremoniously tumble out of his bed. Following a brief series of tests to ensure he was in stable condition, the medical staff deposited Mikhail in a wheelchair and sent him off to a meeting with his superiors. An offer was made: agree to partake in a 'rehabilitation program,' and be promoted to Branch Commander of Mars. Having grown fond of his career military lifestyle prior to the incident, Mikhail agreed. He'd much rather die in the saddle.

As part of his rehabilitation, Mikhail was made to undergo the Alaya-Vijnana treatment repeatedly, which proved non-fatal and remarkably successful, thanks to the wonders of Gjallarhorn's medical technology. Once he'd recovered fully from his coma and subsequent surgery, Mikhail was provided with a customized Graze and promptly shipped off to Mars. Under his strict supervision, the depleted Mars Branch re-ordered into a more disciplined force, in light of their failure against a band of child soldiers. While conducting a routine patrol, Mikhail, now known as Major Orlov, broke off to investigate a suspicious signal. To the relief and despair of many under his command, Mikhail mysteriously vanished.
Finished up the biography for Mikhail.
I only recall it disfiguring and/or killing the person if the surgery failed. It also helps that medical technology in the era is good enough that among (non-poor) people, 200 is considered the average lifespan.

While it's noted that the procedure is usually done on children, it being used on Ein Dalton (who was a young adult of unspecified age) shows that it can be done on older pilots.
