Name: Grif Mason
Age:23 Aight, good good...
Physical Description: Average sized Caucasian with black\brown hair, blue eyes and paleish skin, he always wears black reflective aviators and covering both of his fore arms are tech gauntlets. These are both grafted into his flesh\central nervous system, allowing Grif to interface directly with his mech. (or any other computer) they provide protection against small arms fire and he also uses them as a convenient smart-phone\tablet thing. Hmm. Okay then, I will let you have the lovechild of a Power Glove and an iPhone, but integrated into your nervous system? Bulletproof? Nope, sorry.
Backstory: Grif showed up one day on the ship without much of an explanation, but the Captain seems happy enough with whatever explanation he was given, which is surprising considering the ship was 700 miles out at sea at the time. He's friendly and gets on well with most of the crew, and has taken over the IT support role of the ship as a hobby. Most unwilling to talk about his past and is a bit of a badass.
This really just isn't believable. I mean he shows up randomly at sea? Cmon. Just say he's part of the regular crew or something.
Mecha
Name: Excalibur
Height/Weight: (15 meters and 70 tons)
Physical Description: Looks like a standard (if a little large) humanoid mecha with a cool white and red colour scheme, on the inside however, it’s all professional parts with a stainless steel finish. It boasts a powerful shield generator, (Full shielding is a no-no. Technology has not gotten that far in the Blueniverse.) boosters that allow for a small level of flight and quick boosting (This is fine.) , and a movement system that allows perfect humanoid movement ( ಠ__ಠ ), although without the shields it is a bit of a glass canon, Not that it’s going to go down with Grifs sweet piloting skills though. It also has a smart AI aboard called Charlotte, she can also be quickly moved to the tech gauntlets (at the cost of deleting all Grifs favourite apps and music) or in dire circumstances, another mech. She operates the Cyber Warfare Suite.
Classification: Heavy
Combat Role: Support
Primary Weapon: A mecha sized assault rifle that can switch between Lasers and typical ammo, although the Laser use energy from the shield
Secondary Weapon: Charlotte can hack into other machinery to wreak mayhem, from small drones or mechs to entire fleets, she can also use basic troubleshooting to fix problems such as damaged part. Alright, so here we have a problem. An AI is all fine and dandy, friend in the cockpit and helper for silly glitches and such. However, hacking isn't gonna happen. That's just not how any sensibly designed mecha is set up.
Abilities: strong regenerating shields, Charlotte (Cyber Warfare) And badassery +2 to awesome one liners.
SuperWeapon: Complete Troubleshoot: Charlotte dedicates all of the mechs shield energy into fixing every single problem that can be fixed about our teams’ mechs (as well as any other electronic objects chosen), preforming near miracles with the helpfulness of her onsite tech support. Still, this leaves the mech vulnerable to attack. This just isn't happening at all. I mean, how would that even work?
