Okay then, moving on.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Mira Malrain<br/><strong>Age:</strong>20<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Bisexual<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://www.advancedanime.com/pictures/normal_honoka_sakurai.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>To call Mira a gear head would be an understatement. She knows more about how MWs work then almost any other pilots, in fact, she is the sole person responsible for the maintenance of her MW, which will be talked more upon later down. She has a deep passion for Mech battling, and often puts a great deal of effort into improving either her MW or her skills at piloting one. Secretly, she carries a bit of an inferiority complex to her older brother, though she'd never show it unless deeply pressed about it.<br/><br/>Despite her being a rather attractive young woman, Mira was never one for relationships in the pats. She often invested far too much of her time into practicing her piloting skills, or developing new weapons or generating systems for them to be pursued. Even if one were to pull her out of her work, she really doesn't have many hobbies outside of turning a wrench or penciling on a blueprint.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Mira's father, Mattias Malran, is one of the best mech pilots to ever grace the league, so much so that he was actually inducted into the hall of fame for his consecutive victories and championship wins year after year. When his children came of age, both of them showed an interest in mech battling as well, though the results between the two of them varied greatly. The older of the two,Mattias' son Alister, showed raw potential that surpassed even that of his father. He was an ace in the making, and when enough years passed, he would be a man to fear in the MBF. Mira... on the other hand...<br/><br/>It seemed that Alister got most of the raw talent, to put it lightly. Mira struggled to hold her own, despite everything she tried, the art of fighting in a machine just didn't come to her anywhere near as smoothly as it did for her brother. She suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of people that her brother easily walked on. It crushed the young woman, who aspired to be just as talented and do just as much justice to her family's name as both of the men of the house. In an attempt to keep up with her father and brother, Mira started to put unbelievable amounts of effort into practicing her skills after school hours, midnight hours burned during the weekends. Not on clubs, parties, or boys, but in the warehouse as she tried desperately to shorten the distance between her and those she aspired to be like. When she got a little older, Mira started to take up engineering as well. She learned how to design, build, and repair MWs all on her own, so that she wouldn't need anybody's help, ever, for anything.<br/><br/>Even after years of struggling against her own lack of natural talent, Mira is still only slightly above average at best, miles and miles away from the legends that her father was and her brother is on his way to becoming. It crushes her to think about it, and it crushes her even more to be compared to the men of her family from an outsider looking in. She fights by combining what combat experience she has, but is often forced to rely on her deep knowledge about the inner workings and mechanics of MWs in order to pinpoint weaknesses in enemy frames, and holes in defenses. She also finds herself relying heavily on the performance of her machine, which she designed herself to match her needs in combat and make up for her lack of ability as a pilot.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>MW</strong></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Einenlancer<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/f91/f91.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Standard Weaponry</strong><br/>- 2x hip mounted vibro-blades, optional beam coating<br/>- 2x back mounted plasma cannons<br/>- 1x rear waist mounted carbine rifle, semi automatic, scoped.<br/>- 6x side mounted EMP grenades<br/>- 2x calf moutned emergency vibro-daggers, no beam option.<br/><br/><strong>optional weaponry</strong><br/>- 1x combat bazooka<br/>- 1x heavy flail<br/>- 1x rapid fire shotgun<br/>- 1x heavy gatling gun<br/>- 16x propulsion missiles. Missile pod launcher is mounted to the back and shoulders when in use.<br/><br/><strong>other systems</strong><br/><strong>- Phantom Drive:</strong>Created by Mira as a secret weapon for the Einenlancer. The back mounted plasma cannons let off a rather unusual type of emission that forces such weapons to have external vents. However, Mira designed a 'sink' that took those emissions and stored them within the Einenlancer's hull. When the sink is full, she opens all of the Einenlancer's vents, and the emissions pour out. As a result of these actions, wherever the Einenlancer moves, it leaves an after image in it's wake. Combined with well timed EMP grenades, which disrupt a foe's video channels, this can make the Einenlancer capable of distorting it's opponent's awareness as to where the Lancer is. However, this method of timing takes a great deal of skill and timing to pull off, and skill is one of the things that Mira struggles with.<br/><br/><strong>- Backup generator:</strong>When the Einenlancer first came in from the manufacturer, it had one big issue that had to be addressed. When Mira overused the plasma weaponry attached to the Einenlancer, the generator overheated and shut down, leaving the MW as nothing more then a giant paperweight. Mira resolved this by installing a secondary generator within the Einenlancer. That way, when the main generator shuts down from plasma overuse, the secondary one kicks on and allows the Einenlancer to continue fighting. However, since the plasma weapons are directly linked to the main generator, she will be without her plasma cannons when put on the secondary generator.<br/><br/><strong>Construction and History:</strong>Mira designed the Einenlancer from the ground up to be the perfect MW for her, as it played well to all of her strengths, and catered to her weaknesses as well as it could. The Einenlancer is designed to be a predominantly fast, while still packing a great deal of power. Also, Mira designed a number of optional weapons for the lancer so that she could have a weapon for every situation. That way, instead of using skill to overcome a foe, she could just have a weapon sent to her to help her take care of the situation easier. It was her own special way of evening up the playing field, since she had nowhere near the kinds of reflexes and battlefield cunning that many of the best did.<br/><br/>The Einenlancer is still very much a new machine, as Mira only just got it right before the start of the RP.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Second Character</strong></span></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Alister Malrain<br/><strong>Age:</strong>22<br/><strong>Sexual Preference:</strong>Straight<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f310/tears_of_anime/cturescute.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Alister mostly keeps to himself, not really speaking much unless spoken to. Some in the past have called him emotionally dead, or sometimes being just plain cold for no apparent reason. Even though he carries his father's raw talent, he resents the fact that he keeps getting compared to the man, and often fights in hopes of creating his own name for himself, rather then just being stuck in the shadow of a man who's already made it through his career. Even though he comes off as emotionless, he carries a deep sense of justice in his heart, and is very protective of his little sister, even though he doesn't show it all the time.<br/><br/>When he fights alone, he is swift, effective, and somewhat ruthless to his opponents. When he fights in a team, he is a lone wolf and never cooperates with those around him, much to the annoyance of his teammates.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Alister is called a prodigy by many, the second in a family of extremely dangerous pilots who have sealed themselves to carry a legacy within the MBF. His battles are often swift and decisive, though he has found a few opponents that he as deemed as being worthy rivals. Over the years, he watched from the sidelines as his younger sister struggled to keep up with him, and he often felt sorry for her, though he never actually took any action to help her along for reasons that he keeps to himself. Other then that, there really isn't a whole lot to comment on as far as his life went. He lived as normal a live as possible, and tried out for a seat within the MBF as early as he possibly could. Of course, he passed the tryouts with flying colors, and when his first season came to a close, he had made enough money to have his own personalized MW created for him, the MW would later be dubbed 'Zero' and become one of the most feared sights on the MBF battlefield.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>MW</strong></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Zero<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/><br/>Normal mode: (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/00/gn-007.jpg)<br/><br/>Fighter mode: (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/00/gn-007-flight.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Standard weaponry</strong><br/>1x back mounted vibro blade (only in normal mode)<br/>1x wrist mounted double beam rifle, semi auto. (Splits off into 2 parts and becomes main gun for fighter mode)<br/>2x head mounted chainguns, full auto (secondary guns in fighter mode)<br/><br/><strong>Optional weaponry</strong><br/>None<br/><br/><strong>Other Systems</strong><br/><strong>-Transformer drive:</strong>Alister's MW is unique in that it's capable of transforming from a combat Mech into a fighter jet. While in jet form, Zero sacrifices stability and firepower in exchange for a massive boost in mobility and speed. Also, since the jet is obviously capable of flight, this adds a whole new level of tactical options to Alister's arsenal.<br/><br/><strong>Construction and History:</strong>Tragically, in exchange for being able to transform into 2 different modes at will, Alister had to make sacrifices in the weaponry department. All of Zero's weaponry is installed into it's frame from construction, with the exception of the vibroblade, and it can only have a few weapons installed without compromising it's transformation ability. However, that doesn't mean that Zero's harmless, far from it. When in mech form, the double barreled beam rifle is a very powerful carbine, capable of dealing a great amount of damage to those careless enough to underestimate it, and Alister's skill with a vibroblade would be enough to cause an opponent to think twice before driving in with a close quarters assault.<br/><br/>Alister had Zero custom built after his performance in his MBF debut, and it's served him very well ever since.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Third Character</strong></span></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Jillian Ashfeld<br/><strong>Age:</strong>23<br/><strong>Sexual Preference:</strong>Lesbian<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://images.ados.fr/bd-manga/photo/hd/3405312340/fille-magicienne/fille-guerriere-1415781f49.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Brash, somewhat hot tempered, and being completely void of any tact. Jillian never hesitates to speak her mind, and make sure that she's heard for better or for worse. Jillian may come off as being rude without thinking about it sometimes, but underneath her somewhat rough and loud exterior is a heart of gold and, even more secretly, a bit of a helpless romantic. When she isn't partaking in the MBF, she keeps herself busy by taking part in rather small and local boxing leagues, as she once put it 'as long as I'm fighting, I'm happy.'<br/><br/>Oh, and one last note about Jillian's personality, don't do anything that makes her genuinely mad.<br/><br/>Seriously... don't.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Jillian had a rather rough childhood in the slums of your average American city. Crime wasn't nearly as rampant as it was in the larger and more popular cities like LA and New York, but with the economy the way it was where Jillian was forced to call home, a massive crime rate would have simply taken a bad situation and made it worse. Her parents did their absolute best to provide for their only child, but the family was never able to move on to a higher standard of living, as they only just barely made end's meet enough to keep what they already had. Jillian never held that against her parents, she adored them for trying so hard for her sake, so when Jillian turned sixteen, she went out and got a job as quickly as she could in order to help give back to them. While Jillian struggled to hold a serious job due to her unnaturally loud attitude, she found that she had a particular ability to fight, really, really well.<br/><br/>And so Jillian the boxer was born. While Jillian had always been a bit quick to toss punches in school whenever anybody made fun of her or her family, she had never actually considered taking part in a serious league until her high school gym coach suggested that she give it a shot. As luck would have it, this particular coach was the CEO of a boxing league on the side, and was looking for somebody to be the poster child of his matches. What a happy little coincidence, right?<br/><br/>From the first minute of the first match in that ring, Jillian knew that she was on to something good. She found fighting in the ring to be an absolutely thrilling experience, despite the fact that she walked out with her head ringing more often then not. And, as she refined her technique to hit both harder and faster, while being hit less often, she found herself to make a considerable bundle of money off of these small leagues. While she was really only pulling in pay that was standard for most people, it was more then she had seen before in her life, so she was delighted by the results. When she tried to help out her parents by giving them the prize winnings, all they did was open an account in her name and put all of the money in there so that she could live a better life then they did. Jillian didn't know about this until she graduated and found herself to be the owner of a sum of money that anybody would be proud to start out their life with.<br/><br/>Thankful for the sacrifice her parents made, Jillian graciously took the account and left the house to set out on her own.<br/><br/>5 years have passed since then, and Jillian currently works as a bartender primarily, with both boxing and her newest passion for Mech battling both being side sources of income. Her deepest, darkest secret in the world, and her dream at the same time, is to eventually get famous enough in the MBF that she'll make enough money to go back to her parents and support them, allow them to retire and enjoy the high life that they damn well deserved for the backs they broke just making sure that Jillian would have a future. As a side note, the bar she works at got significantly more popular after she showed up on the big screen last season, for unknown reasons, of course.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>MW</strong></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Reaver<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/061/e/5/weltall_id_by_iamrhaza3617-d3ass1v.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Standard Weaponry:</strong><br/>1x - Multi platform battle scythe (Beam coating, vibro enabled, and also can be broken down into a chain link sickle)<br/>3x - hand held vibroblades, beam coating optional<br/>2x - claw lances (shoulder mounted hookshots)<br/>1x - multi platform halberd<br/><br/><strong>Optional weaponry:</strong><br/>1x arm mounted mini gatling gun, takes up left arm if installed<br/>1x buster plasma cannon<br/><br/><strong>Other systems:</strong><br/><br/>- Overdrive: Jillian had the Reaver's generators rigged so that when she activated a certain function, the power output would increase by 150%, giving the Reaver a monstrous boost in performance for a short time before the generator overheats and causes a total system shutdown. Typically, the overdrive activation will indicate that Jillian is on her last legs, using her ace in the hole in one last attempt to turn the tides of the battle in her favor and end it quickly.<br/><br/><strong>construction and history:</strong>Jillian didn't have much of a choice but to get corporate backing when she wanted a monstrosity like this built. When she realized how much she enjoyed battling in a mech at the age of 19, Jillian started battling in smaller leagues with MWs that were issued to her. As she slowly started to realize that there was serious money to be made by stepping up in the world, at the age of 21 she went to as many corporate companies as she could, trying to find somebody that was willing to pay her way into the MBF. Luckily, she was able to get a few green lights from CEOs that saw a pretty face in a flashy machine as a marketable source, regardless of how well she performed in the actual league. When she was 22, the Reaver was built by corporate funds just for her, and she took the MBF by storm with it.<br/><br/>To summarize Jillian's fighting style in the Reaver in one sentence: "When all you have is a hammer..."<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Fourth character</strong></span></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Phantom Warrior (real name unknown)<br/><strong>Age:</strong>unknown<br/><strong>Sexual orientation:</strong>unknown<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/b/b3/Halo3ODST.JPG)<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Unknown. Never says anything during battle, never removes his helmet. When fighting the Phantom Warrior, it's almost as though the cockpit of the MW is barren.<br/><strong>History:</strong>The Phantom Warrior showed up two seasons ago, though he (generally accepted to be male) hasn't gotten quite so big a fan base as some of the other rising stars had. He could certainly win his matches, but the fact that he never spoke, never showed any signs of actually being a living being, simply served to creep out most of the audience. There are several conspiracies going around about just who the phantom warrior is, some people say he's a millionaire playboy who just wants to have fun, some say he's actually a beautiful woman who doesn't want the media attention that Jillian Ashfeld became a victim of, and some of the more insane theorists even go so far as to say he's actually a robot created by the government to infiltrate the MBF and control the masses, though the last one is generally discarded as completely fictitious.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">MW</span></strong></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Specter<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/g-saviour/i-saviour-la.jpg)<br/><strong>Standard weapons:</strong><br/>- 1x Vibro-Claymore, beam coating optional.<br/>- 1x High output beam cannon<br/>- 2x battle boomerangs, beam coating enabled<br/>- 12x missiles, pod launchers can be found on the top side of the thicker spikes attached to the back.<br/>- 6x EMP grenades<br/><br/><strong>Optional weapons:</strong><br/>- second vibro-claymore, can be attached to create a gargantuan double sided weapon.<br/><br/><strong>Other systems</strong><br/>- Hologram projector. Unlike the Einenlancer's phantom drive, which works off of a sink system and emissions to create an after image of itself. The Specter is able to create up to two holograms, capable of letting off thermal emissions and free movement of their own. When used in areas of low visibility, or in combination with EMPs, this is a very useful and deceptive tool.<br/><br/><strong>Construction and history:</strong>Much like the pilot himself, Specter's past is shrouded in mystery. When the Phantom Warrior made his debut two seasons ago, the Specter came right along with him. Countless questions asked, no questions answered.
