Alain Gerste
" There are five target AMU's. 3 are within assault range. Attack pattern Alpha. Assault 2 and 3 will provide focused fire on the rear units while I eliminate the point. Go !!!! "
Username: Corvosier
Character Name: Alain Gerste
Nickname: Assault 1, Seig
Affiliation: Earth Federation
Position/Rank: Lieutenant Test-Pilot
Squad/Team: EFP Team (Earth Federation Prototype)
Race: Terran
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Cybernetic/Bio/Genetic Enhancements: Alain was augmented using stolen Spacer technology when he was still in the fetal stage. His genes were tampered with to provide him with the slightly augmented reflexes of a spacer. He was also augmented with enhanced stamina and was put through personality deconstruction conditioning.
Special Skills/Abilities: Alain has received extensive special forces training as part of the developmental training he received while growing up. This included firearms, martial arts, explosives, and espionage amongst other things.
Appearence: Alain stands 6'2'' and weighs roughly 185 lbs. His hair is a jetblack colour and naturally straight as a pin, he normally keeps it medium short length. His eyes are a deep green colour but he wears an eyepatch over his right eye. Alain normally wears formal military attire. This consists of a fitted button-up jacket adorned with symbols of rank.. Pinned to the jacket under the symbols of rank on his chest are two awards for exemplary service. The pants are stiff ironed dress pants and he also often wears stark white gloves. Under the jacket there is normally a smiple black vest and tie over a plain white dress shirt. Even when not dressed in military clothing he wears formal attire. He has numerous scares accross his body from his reckless piloting combined with his pension to use incomplete prototypes.
Bio: Many years ago the earth federation came into possesion of some of the spacers bio-genetic engineering research through a combination of expert epionage and shear dumb luck. They began a program to engineer soldiers to sway the cold war in their favour like anything else the fed's military does. Due to the incomplete status of the data the program was a universal failure. Every sample died before developing past the fetal stage. Every specimen except for one, specimen 172, given the name Alain Gerste who survived due to a freak mutation in his own genes that stopped the changes from degrading his DNA.
Alain was raised by a combination of scientists, teachers, and military instructors. Since a young age any development of personality was sucked right out of him. An intense psychological conditioning program mixed with a cocktail of psycho-active drugs was used to keep him under their control. Alain never once questioned any of the painful procedures performed on him while growing up or any of the order's passed down. As soon as he was old enough he was in the pilot's seat of an AMU. Once he hit the age of 17 he was assigned his first active duty. Because of his abilities he was assigned a junior officer's position leading a new prototype test team. This team was formulated to take field ready prototype machines and weapons into real combat situations.
In his 20th year Alain and his team were assigned to provide support to a research facility set on one of the many rocks of the asteroid fields. Intel showed that an assault force of Farren AMUS was on it's way to the facility to steal a new weapon in developement, he and his team were to destroy the PSI-AMU team and retreive the weapon for transport back to earth. Upon arrival at the facility it was discovered that the attack team was much larger than originally thought. He should have abandoned the facility and destroyed the weapon, however in his hubris Alain decided that he could still win the fight. He was wrong, all of his team was slaughtered by the Farrens and the weapon was taken. Alain barely survived the battle and shrapnel from his exploding console had completely destroyed his right eye. He was found just in the nick of time by a rescue team and after a long time recovering he was back to serviceable shape and put back in command of a newly assembled team. The doctors insisted on reconstructive surgery for his eye or some sort of cybernetic implant but for the first time in his life Alain refused. If there was one thing Alain feared and hated in the entire universe it was failure and this had been a failure of epic proportions. He insisted on keeping the eye as it was as a constant reminder of his failure. After a battery of tests it was proven that he could still pilot an AMU at almost the same level of skill that he had before losing the eye and his request was granted.
Alain has stayed the leader of his prototype team to this day.
Personality: As a result of his conditioning Alain is almost emotionless. His brain analyses situations in a cold logical way. Alain has performed many deeds in his life that would drive others insane with remorse but his brain. Because of these things he finds human emotions extremely hard to fathom and puts forth a very polite formal demeanour. This has begun to change slightly over the past five years ever since the incident. He sometimes experiences flashes of emotion that often dissapear as fast as they appeared in the first place. He tried to keep this to himself because he won't admit to himself that they are what they are. Because of his slight disregard for his own life he is a very reckless pilot always pushing himself too hard in pursuit of completing his objectives, he refuses to lose.
Important Possessions: Alain does not often form strong connections with any sort of possesion.
Anything you would like to add:
AMU or Carrier Profile
Zweihander MKVI-A1 Custom
"We threw everything we had at it I swear! It was like... like... trying to bust through a foot thick wall of concrete with your bare hands. " - Excerpt from Spacer interogation with sole survivor of a battle with the EFP team.
AMU or Carrier Name: Zweihander MKVI-A1 Custom
Class: Superheavy AMU (In armor not size)
Enviromental Specialty/Exclusivity: Ground Specialty (Unable to engage in prolonged Air combat)
Offensive Tech/Weaponry:
Pile Driver: The main weapon of the Zweihander is specifically designed for armor piercing potential. Mounted at the wrist the bulk of it appears to look like the cylinder of a revolver around the arm. In each chamber is a large metal stake made from rare alloys mined covertly out in the asteroid fields. At the rear of these stakes is a cap full of potent direectional explosives. On impact of a blow the right arm the charge is activated slamming the stake forward at close range. Each stake must be ejected from the chamber before another attack can be made with the Pile Driver. The Pile Driver has six rounds and so the Zweihander carries a backup of six extra 'Stake' rounds.
Auto-cannon: Mounted on the wrist of the left hand is a tri-barreled auto-cannon. It is an automatic weapon with a high rate of fire but low damage potential. Normally used by spraying the enemy with fire upon approach to melee distance or to provide suppressing fire against lighter armored enemies.
Harpoon Horn: A one-use weapon the mechanism of which makes up most of the interior of the head. The horn on the Zweihander's head is fires forward off of it's mount on it's own rockets. Attached to the Harpoon Horn is a carbon-fiber cable that is coiled up and attached to a powerful motor in the head. It fires at enemies with the intent to pierce their armor and hppk itself in. Once the horn has pierced the enemy a number of barbs stab out from the horn to imbed it, then the motor attempts to pull it back the Zweihander where it can be dealt with at closer range. When uneed the barbs retract and it pulls into place on the head. The fuel however is spent till it can be refilled.
Pulse Flash: Behind retractable covers and mounted on the Zweihander's shoulder is a 'Pulse Flash' device. A new technology still in the test-phase. It emits a forward directional EMP pulse at close range. Any mech in the limited range of the pulse has it's system's malfunction and very temporarily go haywire as the systems attempt to reboot. This weapon takes a huge drain on the AMU's energy. It uses the same Pulse Drive that it's advanced thrusters draw from because of this it leaves the advanced thrusters unusable for a short period of time as the pulse drive recharges. Because it is still an imperfect technology it is almost always fried after it's first use in battle until it receives maintenance and is prone to misfire and malfunction.
Beam Sword: Like any good mecha the Zweihander is equipped with the trusty old beam sword.
Defensive Tech:
Heavy Armor: The main feature of the Zweihander is it's heavy armor. Made from the same rare alloys as the armor piercing 'Stake' rounds that it makes use of, it is done in large bulky layers. It offers splendid protection against most attacks at the cost of maneuverablity and weight.
Other Tech:
Miniature Fusion Generator: The base energy source of the mech located in the core under the cockpit. It is used to run all of the functions of the mech minus the following: Pulse Flash, Advanced Thrusters, Pulse Brace.
Pulse Drive: The advanced drive which provides energy to the Pulse Flash, Advanced Thrusters, and the Pulse Brace. It utilizes the mysterious energy created from the reverse engineered alien technology.
Advanced Thrusters: Although the thrusters can produce a moderatately regular amount of speed using the Miniature Fusion Generator for most movement they can also overcharge drawing from the pulse drives. This can only be used in bursts due to the massive power drain and so the overcharge speed is normally only used to close the gap to the enemy for melee and to add that extra force to an assault.
Pulse Brace: The Zweihander is so heavy that during the mech's activation the Pulse Drive must always be on and emitting a constant flow, much in the same way that some mechs use a pulse drive to fly. The Zweihander however can't fly, not for long anyways, the constant flow is needed just so the mech can move and stand without it's own weight bringing it down. It must be kept in a grav-brace while not in use for the same reason. Also a minimum of pulse energy is never expended in weapon or thruster use so that the mech can maintain that constant flow.
Appearence:
Style: The Zweihander is tightly focused on armor-breaking, line-breaking, and melee assault. The mech has been customized from prototype to prototype to work well with Alain and it's current style shows that. Because of his poor depth perception ( resulting from the eyepatch over his right eye ) his ability with ranged weaponry has significantly decreased but his aptitude for melee combat has somehow stayed almost unaffected. This is why the mech is armed with close ranged oriented weaponry and lacks any significant long range attacking method. The quick and hard assault style of the mech was designed to complement his overly reckless piloting style and is reflected in the overly heavy armor of the mech.
