Alexander Dullin Charles Icarus Domanada
Born into the lap of luxury, Alex Domanada was always a pampered brat. He was told stories by his father, Elwyn, about the great Domanada monarchy that ruled Doma for thousands of years before being uprooted by crass democrats. Entitlement was the norm.
At the age of eighteen, he was charged by his father to learn the ways of mechanized combat, instead of the magery he was studying. He said that "it might come in handy someday". Knowing what he meant, and feeling bored with the spoiled life anyway, he headed to MAC Igala A, and excelled, as was expected. It had been rare for Alex to not be good at what he did.
At home, he had studied violin, unarmed self-defense, fencing, ballroom dance, skeet shooting, and the basics of pyromancy. All of these skills came easily to him, like breathing. It was the actual use of a mech that first brought him difficulty. Though he was given a mech with the countenance of an obedient butler, he found the experience jarring. But, like every other challenge, he defeated it, and became a fine pilot in his own right.
Owing more to his female ancestor Elle than her father, Alex has olive skin, and long, dark hair, which he's dyed blonde, on a lark. He's tall, slender, and athletic, and dresses in fashion-forward versions of the MAC uniforms (he refuses to wear the acrylics that the standard outfits are made of, and has his made of Theician silks). As one can expect, such a spoiled upbringing brought a sense of overconfidence and arrogance to Alex's demeanor, but an ingrained sense of decency still shines through.
(Still need to work out his mecha... it's going to be a top of the line, medium armored little devil, built like a humanoid dragon, with a fencer's beam saber and a high powered rifle that he can use to end battles before he's on the same continent as his opponent...)
Helden Krieger
Helden was born in a tube, a long time ago. A genetic synthesis of several human donors, all with remarkable innate skills, he was designed to be the ultimate MAC warrior. Helden's "father", Anblick, was a quiet, considerate man, who tended to his "son's" every need. Sadly, the experiments that brought Helden into the world were not sanctioned by law, and he was arrested, a few months before Helden's development was to be complete.
The government, initially, wasn't sure what to do with Helden. He had committed no crime, and seeing as he was protected by the Sentience Act, they could not destroy him. So, they decided that, while Anblick's act was unlawful, the results, Helden, should not go to waste. So they enrolled him in MAC, as a pilot.
On paper, Anblick's vision came true. Helden's skills at piloting, mental acuity, physical prowess, and weapons training were all finely tuned. He was even trained in the use of electromancy. But the one thing Anblick had put at the end of the priority list was information on the world at large. Helden was a tabula rasa, a blank slate. And his first experiences in the academy were that of animosity and venom. As a result, he became withdrawn, unwilling to interact with a world that disapproved of him on principle.
Helden pilots a tek armor called the Annexis, which was personally built for him by his father. It is a standard frame, humanoid-style mech, which is basic white with red and blue accent. It's equipped with many armaments, including a monowire knife, jump jets, tesla shocker, plasma sword, and a light streak missile launcher. It's considered a well-equipped, well-designed armor with good equipment for any situation.
YA HAPPY NOW? Yeesh... and I may still make a new guy, geared towards "underworld"-y stuff. (Though a guy's gotta ask... how underground can giant robots be?) And if ya need more... ugh. Lemme know... I'm tired...[/u][/i]
