<strong>Name:</strong>Kevin Blake<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>32<br/><br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>American<br/><br/><strong>Rank:</strong>Ranger<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/>(http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu349/Mizerrage/56c69def-dbc7-4d82-af86-0d8907147c82.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Positive personality traits:</strong>Loyal to his friends, quick thinking on his feet, doesn't give up<br/><br/><strong>Negative personality traits:</strong>Short fuse, reckless, gets fixated on killing the Kaiju<br/><br/><strong>Pre-PPDC experience:</strong>A former Green Beret who joined the PPDC after his family was killed in a Kaiju attack on Los Angeles.<br/><br/><strong>Other skills:</strong>Is passable in Japanese, Russian, and Chinese<br/><br/><strong>General Backstory:</strong>Kevin was in Afghanistan when the first Kaiju attack hit the United States.  After being called back Stateside, Kevin moved his family down to south California to the city of Los Angeles, thinking it would be safe from the attacks.  He was wrong.  The next Kaiju attack that hit the United States hit Los Angeles, and Kevin's wife and daughter were killed when the Kaiju collapsed the bridge their car was stranded on.  As soon as the Kaiju was killed, Kevin went and joined up with the PPDC.  His obsession with killing Kaijus and avenging his family almost made his mental state inappropriate for the Jaeger program, but his quick thinking and adaptability allowed him enough leeway to get through the exam despite his questionable mental state when facing a Kaiju.<br/><br/>Compatibility tests showed that Kevin was most compatible with fellow California resident Derrick Cines, despite the two of them having never met once before joining the PPDC.  They were given the Jaeger Grave Digger, a pure black Jaeger with a white skull like head.  Derrick controls the left arm which  houses a mount for three lashing chains that lash onto the Kaiju and draw them in close, where it is finished off by Kevin and the right arm, which wields a razor sharp scythe weapon.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Grave Digger</span></div><br/><em><strong>"You have called the Reaper..."<br/><br/>"And He has answered."</strong></em><br/><br/><strong>Code Name</strong>: Grave Digger<br/><br/><strong>Launch Date</strong>: 2018<br/><br/><strong>Classification</strong>: Mark III<br/><br/><strong>Status</strong>: Active, fresh off the line, complete with that new Jaeger smell.<br/><br/><strong>Country of Origin</strong>: United States<br/><br/><strong>Height</strong>: 80 meters<br/><br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 2000 tons<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Grave Digger's body is completely black, except for the head.  The head is bleached white, in the design of a skull.  When the head is attached to the body and powered on, an eerie green light emanates from the eyes and around the teeth of the skull head.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment</strong>:<br/><br/><em>The Chain Scythe-</em>A two part weapon that is housed in the arms of Grave Digger.  The left arm houses three chains that shoot out with enough force to bury deep into the hide and flesh of a Kaiju.  The right arm houses a curved scythe like blade, capable of decapitating a Kaiju with a single slice.  Ideally the chains are used to draw the Kaiju in close to be finished off with the scythe, but the unpredictable nature of the Kaijus makes relying on this maneuver dangerous.  Additionally the chains can be used similar to a cat-of-nine-tails whip, and at close range they are sufficient by themselves to kill a Kaiju.<br/><br/><em>Heat Lash-</em>Unique to Grave Digger is the ability to channel the heat from the Jaeger's nuclear reactor into the three chains on the left arm.  The chains superheat and become white hot, making them even more effective at killing Kaiju.  However this state can only be held for a few minutes as the process makes the reactor work harder to work both the Jaeger and keep the chains heated.  Using this skill for longer than suggested safety window might cause the reactor to shut itself down, leaving Grave Digger helpless.  In the worst case scenario, the reactor could become unstable and explode.
