Dice Robotech: Army of the Southern Cross - Characters

[Psychie]

Characters will go here.

All dice rolls for attributes will be 4d6, rerolling 1's, and you take the top three dice. If your top three total 16-18, you add another 1d6. If that extra die is a 6, you add one more d6, to give you a potential top total of 30 starting out before skills. Roll eight times, taking the top seven results, and I will give you a free 24 to place where you wish.

Characters are all members of the Army of the Southern Cross, and you need to choose your OCC from that book. You do not have to take the ATAC OCC, but if you go with another class (such as GMP or Tactical Corps), you have to be able to pilot the Spartas Hover Tank with the MECT for it.

I will give you a short list of advanced Martial Art Styles to be able to choose from. The cost to be able to pick one of them is one skill past the generic Martial Art skill.

For your Natural Aptitude bonus, I will let you select the one you want.

Spoiler: SHAO-LIN KUNG FU

Entrance Requirements: No Attribute or Alignment restrictions.
This is the original version of Kung Fu (also called Gung Fu), and the martial art that spawned hundreds of derivative forms. It has shaped and influenced all the martial arts. It all started in the Shao-lin Temple in the Chiu Lien Mountains. For over a thousand years, students of the martial arts traveled there for training. This continued until the reign of the 17th Century Emperor K'ang Hsi, when the Shao-lin monks responded to a call to put down an insurrection. 128 of the monks responded and they managed to rout the enemy entirely. This was such an alarming display of power that the government eventually sent an army against the Shao-lin. Only five monks managed to survive the battle and burning of the temple.

Spoiler: TAE KWON DO KARATE

Entrance Requirements: No Attribute or Alignment restrictions.
Tae Kwan Do, loosely translated as the "way of hands and feet," is studied in many of the world's military organizations. The idea is to efficiently combine kicks and punches for the best possible attack form. Probably the most kick-oriented of all the martial arts. A master will attack quickly, preferably with some kind of flying jump kick. If the opponent is able to avoid or counter the kicks, then the second approach will be to move in with a volley of punches and short-range kicks.

Spoiler: Krav Maga

Developed recently in Israel as a self defense form, this is one brutal martial art. Before its slow release to public use in America, Krav Maga can trace its roots to the commando training of the elite MOSSAD special forces units.
Krav Maga's philosophy is simple: If it hurts your opponent, it can't be all that bad. Biting, gouging, elbowing, kneeing to the groin - it's all there. If it works, chuck it in for good measure. Yet Krav Maga is not at all complicated or underdeveloped. Quite the opposite. It is coldly efficient and altogether brutal.

Jumping Foot Attacks: Jump Kick
Special Attacks: Death Blow, Leap Attack, Combination Strike/Parry, Combination Grab/Kick, Knee, Elbow, Forearm.
Weapon Katas: None
Modifiers to Attacks: Pull Punch, Knock-Out/Stun, Critical Strike, Critical Strike From Rear.
SPECIAL KATAS:
Lightning Form: This is the style most often used in competition. It allows all the normal attacks per melee round to be delivered in the first attack. In other words, if the character has five attacks per melee, then all five strikes can be made at one time. It must be done as the first attack in a melee round and the character must have the initiative. The problem is that after the attack the character cannot Dodge and has no bonuses to Parry for the rest of that Melee Round.

Sergeant Doug Dorsey is a twenty five year old veteran of the RDF, having transferred to the Southern Cross' ATAC's Hover Tank program to get out of the much larger and less maneuverable Spartan Destroid. He has studied to be a field armorer and weapons technician, and looks forward to using his skills both in the shop and out and about in the field to keep the squadron's mecha running smooth. He is quite jovial, and slow to anger, but his years of body building make him a dangerous person to piss off. When in the field, he usually packs a squad heavy weapon and extra power pack, providing much needed firepower when on foot.

Doug is a Texan through and through, and before volunteering in the RDF, he worked on his family's farm bailing hay and herding cows. He still has a bit of a twang to his voice, but it only really comes out when he's angry.

Another thing about Doug that you all would know is that he is a very religious man, and as such he refuses to drink alcohol or use tobacco products of any kind, and it is a very rare thing for him to use any profanity at all. He is very careful not to shove his beliefs in the faces of his fellow squad mates, but will happily answer any questions about the church that come to him as he makes sure to say a prayer for God's guidance and protection for the squad before every deployment.

Doug is a practitioner of Tae Kwon Do, but in the sparring matches he's been in, he usually just sticks to a more traditional boxing stance instead of relying on the martial art maneuvers.

 

[Psychie]

Corporal Nova is one of the few micronized Zentraedi that did not leave Earth with the SDF-3 to travel off into outer space to try and make peace with the Robotech Masters. If asked why she elected to stay behind, she just says that she has had enough of space for a long time, and wants to keep her feet firmly planted on the ground. Trained as an intelligence analyst, Nova is actually cross-trained in the Spartas from the ranks of the GMP. A brilliant woman, she is still getting used to taking orders from humans, and occasionally lets her strong warrior spirit get the best of her. She is an outstanding pilot and is quite skilled with a sniper rifle.

Nova is a very private person, and keeps a lot about her close to the vest. She doesn't like to talk about her time in the Zentraedi military before joining the ASC, but from what she has shared, you get the impression that she is much older than you would normally think. When asked about her age, she once said, "For a rabbit, I am very old. For a cabbage, I am even older than that. For a mountain, I am just beginning in years, but for a Meltrandi, I am just right."

Now in the ASC, Nova has taken to her studies of Shao Lin Kung Fu with gusto, relying upon her excellent dexterity and maneuverability to keep from getting hit in a fight instead of relying upon sheer brute strength.

  Great-looking like all Meltrandi but never uses it to her advantage. She doesn't think to. She's not the type.
  
  (Image credit: The clearly talented Sciamano240 at DeviantArt.com)
  
  There's also something about her that reminds me of Rachel from Blade Runner minus the smoking. Maybe its her mysterious qualities? Smart, sharp, and professional? Kind of like this image and music:

  Species: Full-blooded Meltrandi
  Alignment: Scrupulous (Good). (Think of Athena's secretary, Nike, of Appleseed or Ishikawa of Ghost in the Shell.)
  Disposition: Cool, cunning, bright, curious, kind, caring, responsible, selfless. A driven seeker of justice for the sake of justice. A natural born killer and cat-loving sweetheart.

  Build: Beautiful and athletic like all Meltrandi. Petite and graceful.
  Hair: Stark white, full and thick.
  Eyes: Blue with an enchanting quality, like jewels, a quality she appears to be unaware of.
  Other features: Can pass for human. Has the excellent situational awareness of a street cop but instead gives off this " hot librarian" vibe. Appears "small" and harmless. Pleasant voice to listen to. English, German, and Japanese mannerisms. Naturally head-turning if you like bookish charm and ladylike conversations; because really, like Mass Effect's Asari, are there really any ugly Meltrandi?

  I'm going to start with three tidbits, each of which her squadmates (if they're interested) would be aware of. Then I'll add 3+ things she could use help on, 3+ things she's good at, and... I'll follow this with some fun notes, too. Some of this is going to get repeated, but in greater detail. =)
  
  Three things her squadmates definitely know about her!
  1. Miyazaki loves cats and does what she can, within reason, to help and feed them. She hangs around them so much that she is capable of imitating their meows realistically (GM discretion), which is something for a Meltrandi, isn't it? When on duty, on the radio, recorded, etc., her tone and manner are professional, but when casual, she'll answer with calls to her.
  
  2. She needs (and I mean needs) a lot of help in the combat department; she's a computer geek, bookworm, and quite good intellectually - but her fighting skills are that of the average gamer. She has just taken on Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and is taking it seriously, but she's got a looong way to go.
  
  3. A dedicated problem solver, she is really good at finding the chinks in your enemies' armor, plans, way of thinking, etc. and telling you about them. "He feints to the right then dodges left." "She is a capable foe but fears incarceration even more than death. Show her handcuffs and she'll talk." "He's being manipulated but doesn't know it. Drugs in his food and strange phone calls. I think he's a sleeper agent - taking him down alone will allow his manipulator to go free and start again elsewhere."
  
  At least three things Miya could use help working on...
  1. Absolutely lousy in martial arts. Possibly the laughing stock of the unit. Her techniques while in good form are not effective, she cannot control distance, and is militarily-speaking, a pushover (especially in grappling/ground-fighting where she resorts to clawing, kicking, and biting but otherwise is completely lost on the mat). She has just started learning Jeet Kune Do and having almost no experience in fighting matters, knows quite well that she has a long way to go. As a Meltrandi, this causes her no shame, but nor does it bring her any pride.
  
  2. Tied to the first, Miya is a study-hound and not in the habit of exercising. With the sole exception of Jeet Kune Do, she lacks even a single Attribute-upping Physical Skill. Not even Boxing. Being a desk jockey, she sees this as natural but still wants help in fixing it. It should be noted that unlike most Meltrandi, she feels no shame about this - she is an analyst after all - an information specialist. But now that she's to be an active tanker, it's on. She knows physical abilities are tied to Spartas combat activity and while she's one hell of a pilot (98% at 1st level!), she's not the fighter her teammates likely are. Some in her division have been utterly surprised to learn she's Meltrandi.
  
  3. Miyazaki's pretty tied to her career and doesn't really seem to have a life outside of it. She is what she does, but unlike a civilian or even a human, she appears to have much concept of a personal life. As such, she hasn't really developed what most would call social skills. Sure, she's approachable, even pleasant to talk to. But favorite restaurants? Music? Art? Movies? There's nothing there. It's all work. And if it's not work-oriented, it's hard to keep her interest for long. So, no boy or girlfriends, no social gatherings really. She probably doesn't realize what she's missing in having a social life.
  
  4. She's utterly naive in the ways of romance. Probably the kind of person that most Army guys think is hot to trot and are daring each other to "hit that," except that she hasn't the slightest idea of what they're talking about even when she overhears them. She has fellow Meltrandi friends that are in relationships, even married with kids, but Miya might be the kind of lady that might get taken advantage of due to lack of romantic experience or even notion.
  
  ...and now let's have at least three positives. =)
  1. Miyazaki is far and away the smartest of the six-Meltrandi team she was pulled from less than two years ago. She's extremely good at what she does so her skills are top-notch and she's very dependable. Plus, she has this thing where she doesn't hate anybody, even when she's forced to kill them. "What did you feel inside when you shot the terrorist?" "Recoil." As such, she's a very level head in a fight, doesn't panic, and is considered by some as a "lucky charm" of sorts.
  
  2. Miya is a cat-lover! Strays, homebreds, sheltered, doesn't matter. They tend to like her (GM discretion here) and she'll pretty much drop what she's doing to aid or give company to them. It's kind of hard to not get along with someone who gets along with cats in such a friendly manner. She talks to them, gives them names, and protects them when its practical to.
  
  3. Miya knows firearms and melee weapons as part of a deep personal interest. "Guns have their own stories," she likes to say. As such, she's qualified in 9 separate weapon classifications (9 W.P.s). One hell of a shot be it with a PR-24 nightstick, pistol, rifle, or Spartas main gun.
  
  4. A total bookworm, Miya is a rabid information hound that pretty much doesn't stop until she gets what she's after. A terrific hacker and highly perceptive GMP officer, she gathers and correlates data, freely sharing her findings with her fellows. A natural team player, Miya isn't used to working alone but seeks out teams to assist without leading. Any way you look at it, it's always cool to have someone on your side who sometimes has the enemy figured out before you even engage them. Oh, and she is a total raging beast when playing strategy games. =)
  
  Fun notes
  1. Miya likes cats so much, her fellow GMP officers have come to call her "Cat Lady" or "White Cat" for her stark white, short-kept hair.
  
  2. She calls whatever Spartas Hover Tank she is assigned to, "Maru," after the adorable box-loving cat in Japan. =)
  
  3. Miya sees her fellow Zentraedi much in the same way humans tend to see other humans. "Live and let live unless you're threatening me or mine." In the case of the Malcontents, it's an entire faction of mysteries and enemies to discover and thwart. And since the humans have treated her and her people (crew) so well, why not keep on ASC's side?
  
  
• 
  Miya was found on the same forgotten Zentraedi starship that Felis (see this OOC thread for Felis/Risa) was found on. They're part of the same team. "Sisters" if you will. Six of them dubbed "Terror Team Six" were a special gift to Commander Crassa, a Meltrandi ship captain who was known for her ability to relentlessly hunt down and take out hard targets that were giving Lord Dolza a hard time. Terror Team Six are a group of assassins meant to work together. However, during the First Robotech War, Commander Crassa's entire bridge was taken out in one hit leaving the vessel to crash-land. The Robotech Defense Force took the Thuverl Salan crew captive and later they joined the RDF to a man.
  
  However, in what is true warrior-mannerism, the blame for the death of the esteemed Commander Crassa was laid in part on Terror Team Six's shoulders. Never mind that the team had not yet been born and were in suspended animation when the vessel went down, the crew thought of them all as failures and dismissed them from their minds. Fast forward some years into the time of the Army of Southern Cross when an ASC combat journalist interviews some of that same crew and finds out that there are six special killers still onboard the vessel.
  
  Was the vessel still active? Had they died in their cloning chambers? An expedition was formed and they were found alive and ready for battle, only to discover that the war was long over with their Lord Dolza dead, their people scattered or treated fairly by these "humans" and here the ASC was, giving Terror Team Six the same opportunity. They accepted.
  
  Here in present day, four out of the six Meltrandi aren't even in military roles but have chosen to become civilians, living in the same neighborhood together with their human families and loved ones. Felis went on to join Tac Corp as a Recon specialist and Miyazaki (as she was named by a fan of the creator of the same name) was specially chosen to serve the GMP and UEG in the role of a combat analyst. Later, it was decided that she ought to serve also in direct front-line roles and was thus entered into GMPs ESWAT division and trained in the use of the Spartas Hover Tank, an extension of her fighting capabilities that she has come to very much enjoy.
  
  Now that she has graduated along with her human and Meltrandi squadmates, Miya finds herself ready for these new challenges. She is well aware of deficiencies in her training (like martial arts and Physical skills) and looks her assistance to shore these weaknesses up. Unlike most Meltrandi, Miya is open and friendly, kind and courteous. Some humans even forget she's Meltrandi at all. Until they see her in combat - then it is clear...
  
  ...not only is she Meltrandi, but a born assassin, a hunter of her enemies, and seeker of justice. Let them beware!
  
  Inspiration
  
  "CYBERPUNK 2077 SOUNDTRACK - DELICATE WEAPON by Grimes & Lizzy Wizzy (Official Video)" - not really for the lyrics but for that smooooth groove.
  
  
  "Grimes - We Appreciate Power (Lyric Video)" - I like this one for the beat and the thought-provoking lyrics. Maybe this is Miyazaki's kind of music? If so, I'm glad she enjoys music.
  
  
  "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors - because I recently figured out that Miyazaki has Japanese mannerisms (I first thought French or English). =)

  SPECIAL KATAS:
  Lightning Form: This is the style most often used in competition. It allows all the normal attacks per melee round to be delivered in the first attack. In other words, if the character has five attacks per melee, then all five strikes can be made at one time. It must be done as the first attack in a melee round and the character must have the initiative. The problem is that after the attack the character cannot Dodge and has no bonuses to Parry for the rest of that Melee Round.

  CBR Mk. 2E Combat Armor Environmental Hardsuit
  CBR environmental hardsuits are descended from the UEDF's CHR-1 Hazardous Environment suit. Advances in materials as well as environmental systems have allowed the ASC to capitalize on the fully sealed armor idea, providing a sturdy, relatively lightweight suit that fully protects the wearer from hostile environments. Worn by aerospace pilots, combat divers, and TSC naval infantry, these suits consist of a fully articulated, positively pressurized hardsuit that is worn much like a spacesuit or hard diving suit. The suits are made primarily of ceramic composite plates that lock together with flexible joints that provide the wearer with both flexibility and protection. Environmental suits do not utilize a unisuit, but instead have all the standard features integrated into a built-in lining. Mk. 2E environmental hardsuits come in light and heavy varieties and vary in style and color depending on service branch.
  
  Features of All CBR Environmental Armor:
  1. Full Environmental Shielding: CBR full environmental hardsuits are positively pressurized and proofed against radiation, chemical and biological agents. These suits have an internal computer that runs the life support systems and a built-in oxygen tank good for two hours of use fully buttoned up. The oxygen supply can be extended indefinitely by drawing in outside air and filtering it through the integral scrubbers, or with external oxygen packs.
  2. Heat and Fire Resistance. CBR hardsuits are nearly impervious to extremes of temperature up to 2,000 degrees F (1,093 degrees C) and down to -300 degrees F (-184.4 degrees C). These suits are also fireproof and take no damage from normal fires (campfires, bonfires, house fires, vehicle fires, etc.). Nuclear fires, napalm and plasma fires all deal normal damage.

  Weapon Systems
  1. MCR-68A1 105mm Cannon
  Mounted in a retractable housing in the right arm shield, the 68A1 served well as the main weapon of the Hover Tank for years. While it is recommended that this weapon only be deployed in Tank/Guardian mode, it can also fire in Battloid mode. Using the cannon in Battloid mode is awkward (no bonuses to strike) and requires the Battloid to be braced against the recoil. It was eventually replaced by the HPW-125A1 Particle Cannon on the VHT-1A1 variant.
  
  Range: varies by ammunition as described below.
  Mega-Damage: varies by ammunition. The cannon can fire the following kinds of rounds:
  Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS). A round that uses a dart made of depleted uranium or tungsten to pierce enemy armor.
  Range: 4 miles (6.4km)
  Mega-Damage: 3d6x10+20 M.D.
  
  High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT). A shell with a shaped charge warhead.
  Range: 2.2 miles (3.52km)
  Mega-Damage: 2d6x10+10 M.D.
  
  Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank (MPAT). A HEAT round with an added proximity fuse to allow it to engage slow, low flying aircraft such as helicopters and for air bursts over targets.
  Range: 2.2 miles (3.52km)
  Mega-Damage: 2d6x10+10 to a 50 foot (15.2m) radius
  
  Canister. A shell filled with tungsten shot that acts like a giant shotgun shell for use against building, dug-in infantry, and thin-skinned vehicles.
  Range: 2,500 feet (762m)
  Mega-Damage: 1d8x10 M.D. to everything within a 25 foot (7.62m) area up to half range, 1d4x10 to everything within 50 feet (15.24m) area at full range.
  
  High Yield Incendiary (Plasma). An extremely lethal anti-personnel round filled with super heated plasma.
  Range: 1.5 miles (2.4km)
  Mega-Damage: 2d8x10 M.D+10. to everything in a 25 foot (7.6m) area from the initial blast. Sets all combustible substances ablaze and continues to burn, doing an additional 4d8 M.D. per minute for 1d6+1 minutes.
  
  Smoke. These shells emit billowing clouds of thick smoke and are used primarily for cover and to mark target zones. They come in black, white, red, green, and yellow, and make a cloud big enough to obscure an area 100 feet (30.5m) across.
  Range: 4,000 feet (1,219m)
  Damage: none
  
  Rate of Fire: Three times per melee round
  Payload: 48 rounds
  Note: Typical loadout for the Hover Tank is nine shells of each kind except for the smoke rounds. Those have three rounds, unless something different is required for the mission.
  
  1a. HPW-125A1 Particle Cannon (VHT-1A1, VHT-1A3 variants).
  This is the 125mm particle cannon that replaced the 105mm cannon in later model Hover Tanks. It fires a stream of charged particles over long distances and delivers a massive amount of kinetic, armor piercing damage. While not as versatile as the old cannon, the 125A1 performs extremely well against armored opponents. It also has the added advantage of not needing to carry ammunition, which reduces the operating weight of the Hover Tank. The main drawback of the weapon is that it is an energy hog, and reduces the Hover Tank’s speed by ten percent when active due to massive energy consumption.
  Range: 8,000 feet (2,438.4m)
  Mega-Damage: 2d10x10+20 M.D. per blast
  Rate of Fire: Three times per melee round.
  Payload: Effectively unlimited.
  
  Note: The Plasma Cannon delivers a massive stream of particles. The gun hits like a wrecking ball, and any mecha under 50 tons hit by a blast has a chance of being knocked down. When hit, the pilot must make a roll on the appropriate mecha piloting skill to keep his footing. Mecha that are knocked down lose initiative and one attack while they return to their feet.
  
  2. MIW-20 Triple Barreled Ion Pulse Cannon. The MIW-20 is a 20mm, rapid fire ion pulse cannon. It is hard hitting and very accurate over short distances. This weapon is used as a close defense weapon to keep infantry and other mecha at bay, and can only be deployed in Tank/Guardian mode.
  Range: 1,800 feet (548.6m)
  Mega-Damage: 1d6x10 M.D. per three blast pulse.
  Rate of Fire: Each pulse blast counts as one attack
  Payload: Effectively unlimited.
  
  3. EU-11 Gun Pod. The EU-11 is a 30mm high-intensity, selective fire laser gun pod capable of firing a single shot or five round burst. It has an integral laser targeting system and a collapsible stock and is powered by an internal capacitor that is charged by the Spartas’ engine. This weapon is accurate at very long ranges. The weapon is fixed forward in transport mode and carried in Battloid mode.
  Weight: 250 pounds (112.5kg)
  Range: 4,000 feet (1,219m)
  Mega-Damage: 1d10 M.D. per single blast, 1d6x10+10 M.D. for a five round burst
  Rate of Fire: Each single blast or five round burst counts as one attack
  Note: the EU-11 enjoys a +2 bonus to strike (in addition to other bonuses) thanks to its laser targeting system.
  Payload: A fully charged capacitor is good for 140 single shots or 28 five round bursts. The capacitor charges at the rate of one blast every two minutes in its housing, and an empty capacitor takes over three hours to charge in full.
  
  4. Hand to Hand Combat.
  Restrained Punch/Forearm Shield: 1d6 M.D.
  Full-Strength Punch or Shield Strike: 3d6 M.D.
  Power Punch: 1d6x10 M.D. Counts as two attacks.
  Tear/Pry/Crush with Hands: 1d8 M.D.
  Stomp: 2d6 M.D. against targets less than 10 feet (3m) tall
  Kick: 5d8 M.D.
  Leap Kick: 1d8x10. Counts as two attacks.
  Body Block/Ram: 2d6 M.D. per 20 mph (32km) of speed. Uses two attacks and has a 60% chance of knockdown against targets up to 50% bigger. Victims of a successful knockdown lose initiative and two melee attacks.
  
  Bonuses from Mecha Elite Combat Training (MECT): +1 attack per melee round at levels 1, 3, 6, 10, and 14, +2 on initiative, +2 to strike with cannon and long-range weapons, +3 to strike (applies to punches and kicks), +4 to parry, +3 to dodge, +3 to disarm, +4 to pull punch, and +3 to roll with impact. The pilot’s own number of hand to hand attacks and bonuses (if any) are combined with these when piloting the mecha.
  
  VHT-1S Command Variant
  Enhanced sensors in this model of tank provide the following additional bonuses to the squadron:
  +1 to initiative, +2 to strike, and +1 to parry and dodge for all members of the squadron within one mile (1.6km). This roll requires a roll on the Sensory Equipment skill at a -10% penalty due to the chaos of combat.
  
  Sensors and Abilities
  1. Radar that can track airborne targets to a range of 40 miles and ground targets out to 10 miles depending on terrain. The radar can track up to 25 targets at once.
  2. Combat computer
  3. Communications suite with a powerful encrypted military band radio. Has both wide band and directional signals with a range up to 200 miles.
  4. Passive nightvision with a range up to 1,200 feet
  5. Thermal imager with a range of 800 feet
  6. Infrared sensor that allows the mecha to see in the IR spectrum. Range is 500 feet.
  7. Tactical camera that can record up to 180 minutes of video
  8. Motion sensor detects objects within 1500 feet.
  9. Headlights that works in the visible light band.
  10. Distress beacon with a range of 250 miles
  11. Smoke dispenser that has six charges and make a cloud of thick, white smoke 60 feet across.
  12. Chaff/Flare dispenser with six charges. Has a 75% chance to confuse both heat seeking and radar guided missiles.
  
  
• 
  Steven was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, and even after all these years, he still has the accent to prove it. He is old enough to have vague memories of what life was like prior to the crash landing of the SDF-1, but for the bulk of his life, he has lived with the knowledge that aliens are out there, and that they were on their way to Earth.
  
  The initial Zentraedi attack was bad, but Steven's family was able to pull through it without any problem. That did change on the day of the Rain of Fire from the main Zentraedi fleet that wiped out so very much of the planet. While his family was able to make it to the bomb shelter, the building took a direct hit that killed or wounded many of the people inside, including Steven's parents. Now with only his brother Alan left of his family, the two brothers relocated from the blasted desolation of their home and moved to the North American Sector where they both signed up for the military.
  
  While Alan went on to become a Destroid pilot, Steven instead gravitated to the new Spartas Hover Tank. In the cockpit of the small, deadly mecha, Steven really comes alive. Along with his training to become a tanker, he also cross-trains in the medical field, earning his medical degree at a young age. Steven is very proud of what he has become, and his only regret is that his parents were not there to see him graduate from training and pin those chevrons on his uniform.
  
  Steven is now looking forward to the day that he gets his orders to deploy out to his permanent duty station, ready to do his part to make a difference and put himself in harm's way to protect those around him.
  
  Things that others in the squad will know about him:
  When not on duty, Steven likes to play card games of all kinds, and will either be playing Solitaire or will try to wrangle someone to play Poker with him. He can be quite the card shark, and most have learned to not play for money with him.
  
  Despite his young age, Steven is quite the fan of classical music, and his favorite composer is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, quickly followed by Bach. He will often have a piano concerto playing in the background while he is working or relaxing as his way to unwind.
  
  Steven is very distrustful of Zentraedi that borders on hostility, and it takes a long time for any of the aliens to get past his suspicions. The small number of Zentraedi that have earned is respect can be counted on the fingers of one hand, thanks to the fact that he has suffered a personal loss to his family at the hands of the invaders. He understands intellectually that those defectors that joined the side of Earth are not the ones that killed his family, but he finds it hard to trust any of the aliens.

  Shao-Lin Kung Fu
  Entrance Requirements: No Attribute or Alignment restrictions.
  This is the original version of Kung Fu (also called Gung Fu), and the martial art that spawned hundreds of derivative forms. It has shaped and influenced all the martial arts. It all started in the Shao-lin Temple in the Chiu Lien Mountains. For over a thousand years, students of the martial arts traveled there for training. This continued until the reign of the 17th Century Emperor K'ang Hsi, when the Shao-lin monks responded to a call to put down an insurrection. 128 of the monks responded and they managed to rout the enemy entirely. This was such an alarming display of power that the government eventually sent an army against the Shao-lin. Only five monks managed to survive the battle and burning of the temple.

  Weapon Systems
  1. MCR-68A1 105mm Cannon
  Mounted in a retractable housing in the right arm shield, the 68A1 served well as the main weapon of the Hover Tank for years. While it is recommended that this weapon only be deployed in Tank/Guardian mode, it can also fire in Battloid mode. Using the cannon in Battloid mode is awkward (no bonuses to strike) and requires the Battloid to be braced against the recoil. It was eventually replaced by the HPW-125A1 Particle Cannon on the VHT-1A1 variant.
  
  Range: varies by ammunition as described below.
  Mega-Damage: varies by ammunition. The cannon can fire the following kinds of rounds:
  Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS). A round that uses a dart made of depleted uranium or tungsten to pierce enemy armor.
  Range: 4 miles (6.4km)

  High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT). A shell with a shaped charge warhead.
  Range: 2.2 miles (3.52km)
  Mega-Damage: 2d6x10+10 M.D.
  
  Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank (MPAT). A HEAT round with an added proximity fuse to allow it to engage slow, low flying aircraft such as helicopters and for air bursts over targets.
  Range: 2.2 miles (3.52km)
  Mega-Damage: 2d6x10+10 to a 50 foot (15.2m) radius
  
  
  Canister. A shell filled with tungsten shot that acts like a giant shotgun shell for use against building, dug-in infantry, and thin-skinned vehicles.
  Range: 2,500 feet (762m)
  Mega-Damage: 1d8x10 M.D. to everything within a 25 foot (7.62m) area up to half range, 1d4x10 to everything within 50 feet (15.24m) area at full range.
  
  High Yield Incendiary (Plasma). An extremely lethal anti-personnel round filled with super heated plasma.
  Range: 1.5 miles (2.4km)
  Mega-Damage: 2d8x10 M.D+10. to everything in a 25 foot (7.6m) area from the initial blast. Sets all combustible substances ablaze and continues to burn, doing an additional 4d8 M.D. per minute for 1d6+1 minutes.
  
  Smoke. These shells emit billowing clouds of thick smoke and are used primarily for cover and to mark target zones. They come in black, white, red, green, and yellow, and make a cloud big enough to obscure an area 100 feet (30.5m) across.
  Range: 4,000 feet (1,219m)
  Damage: none
  
  Rate of Fire: Three times per melee round
  Payload: 48 rounds

  CBR Mk. 2E Combat Armor Environmental Hardsuit
  CBR environmental hardsuits are descended from the UEDF's CHR-1 Hazardous Environment suit. Advances in materials as well as environmental systems have allowed the ASC to capitalize on the fully sealed armor idea, providing a sturdy, relatively lightweight suit that fully protects the wearer from hostile environments. Worn by aerospace pilots, combat divers, and TSC naval infantry, these suits consist of a fully articulated, positively pressurized hardsuit that is worn much like a spacesuit or hard diving suit. The suits are made primarily of ceramic composite plates that lock together with flexible joints that provide the wearer with both flexibility and protection. Environmental suits do not utilize a unisuit, but instead have all the standard features integrated into a built-in lining. Mk. 2E environmental hardsuits come in light and heavy varieties and vary in style and color depending on service branch.
  
  Features of All CBR Environmental Armor:
  1. Full Environmental Shielding: CBR full environmental hardsuits are positively pressurized and proofed against radiation, chemical and biological agents. These suits have an internal computer that runs the life support systems and a built-in oxygen tank good for two hours of use fully buttoned up. The oxygen supply can be extended indefinitely by drawing in outside air and filtering it through the integral scrubbers, or with external oxygen packs.
  2. Heat and Fire Resistance. CBR hardsuits are nearly impervious to extremes of temperature up to 2,000 degrees F (1,093 degrees C) and down to -300 degrees F (-184.4 degrees C). These suits are also fireproof and take no damage from normal fires (campfires, bonfires, house fires, vehicle fires, etc.). Nuclear fires, napalm and plasma fires all deal normal damage.
  
  CBR Mk. 2E Heavy Armor
  M.D.C. by Location:

  Service: Used primarily by the ASC Tactical Space Corps, Global Military Police and Navy Division.
  
  CB-S Tactical Shields
  Made of the same ceramic alloys as the CBR body armors, the CB-S shields give a soldier an extra level of protection against both melee and ranged attacks. Used by a number of branches within the ASC, these shields come in light, medium and heavy types, and vary in color and style to match the armor they come with. CB-S Tactical Shields are used by most of the ASC, with the exception of the Navy Division, Tactical Air Force, Civil Defense Flying Corps, and the Tactical Corps Mountain Division.
  
  Heavy Shields: 55 M.D.C. Weight: 15 pounds (6.75 kg), -10% to skills that require manual dexterity (Pick Locks, Demolitions, Field Surgery, etc.) +2 to parry.
