I have...a possible character idea.
More to come after I bug Jak about it.
EDIT: Behold! x1 LAPD officer. You can thank Jak for the length personality description. IT IS ALL HIS FAULT.
---
Name: Pamela Santiago, aka Pam
Age: 22
Occupation: Officer for the LAPD
Personality: Dedicated and loyal, Pamela is eager to fill her duties to "serve and protect". However, she occasionally suffers from bouts of insecurity about her abilities. She's a hard worker, though, and it seems unlikely that she'll give up any time soon.
Off the job, Pamela feels awkward and uncomfortable, not quite knowing what to do with herself. While she works well with others on the job (usually), she's pretty much a loner in other situations. As a result, most of her hobbies tend to involve athletic activities like jogging, lifting weights, or going to the gym. It serves as a good distraction, and she feels a great sense of pride in her physical fitness.
Speaking of which, she also feels a great sense of pride in personal skill and accomplishment...which leads to a dislike and discomfort with most machinery. She'll only use computers for work, she'll take a good jog around the track and a set of weights to the gym stairmaster, and she can't program a DVD player or a VCR for the life of her. Oh, and you can't forget those Boomers; those things are pretty creepy. Besides, whatever happened to good ol' fashion human ingenuity, eh? Those things are going to be the end of this city...
She will likely have a love/hate relationship with her hardsuit.
Motivation for Joining the Knights: To protect and to serve, mostly. She has a distrust of Boomers in general, and she dislikes being helpless against them.
Plus, as much as she hates to admit it, being part of the team would be one hell of an ego boost...not that she'd ever admit this to herself, mind.
Backstory: Pam has a lot to live up to, being the third person in her family to join the ranks of the LAPD. It's been a lifelong dream of hers to follow in the footsteps of her father and her grandfather (both competant officers in their own right), and she tries her best to live up to their reputations. However, being a fairly recent recruit, she still has a long ways to go.
Despite her lack of experience, she's recently had a runin with a rogue Boomer while on duty. Incapable of dealing with it on their own, she and her partner concentrated on evacuating civilians away from the destruction while calling for backup. But, before additional forces could arrive, she caught glimpses of the infamous Saber Knights defeating the mechanical monstrousity.
Curious about the turn of events, she's begun to do research on the vigilante group. Only time will tell what her search will lead her to...
Physical Appearance: Dark tan skin; brown eyes; dark brown hair in a short, boyish cut; medium height; muscular build; wears either her LAPD uniform or comfortable, practical clothes
Skills: High physical endurance and above average strength; highly skilled in unarmed combat; long distance running; above average firearms skill compared to the general populace, but no more advanced than your average police rookie; dodging phonecalls from worried and nagging mothers
Hardsuit: A dark gold and black suit, catered to physical combat (Ex, PAMELA PUNCH! and SANTIAGO STRIKE!). Has extra jets attached to the forearms, pointing back, to pack an extra punch in her punches. The hands are also built similar to "shock gloves", for attacks involving devastating electric grapples (grab a Boomer, electrocute it). <p>
