Name: Karsten Cheng Kuznetsov
Appearance:A massive, two metre tall figure, well-built with musculature and fat. Short blond hair adorns his head, with a very short, yet straight beard. His moustache is bushy yet well-maintained.. A pair of beady green eyes peer out from his rather hairy face. Often dressed in a work uniform when outside of the cockpit of mech.
Biography: Born on Illion approximately thirty years ago, Karsten was born to a pair of workers within a factory town within the equatorial regions of the planet. While his early life was marked with struggle, mostly financial from the little pay they both received from their shifts, he had a mostly normal life, if a little noticeable in a crowd due to his size. Having mostly average grades during his schooling, Karsten was mostly ushered in to work at the factory, the very same one his parents had when he was younger.
Proving to not only be a capable craftsman and worker after a few years working there, but a rather competent leader as well. Within a week, he was promoted to foreman of the factory. His time as the foreman of the factory had led it into a good times, efficiency and production had both increased along with morale among the workers despite the rather low pay.
With the initial uprising, tensions started to rise within the town, with extra corporate security teams being deployed to the town, suppressing most of the information about it, regardless of the source. A couple of weeks after the declaration, protests and strikes started. Things started to get violent, with injuries mount from each and every passing day of protests and striking. After a couple of days, Karsten gathered up most of the supervisors of the factory, and with them, discussed what had to be done. The aftermath of that meeting was the spark of rebellion, with weapons and equipment being handed to the workers, the protests turned into a guerrilla war. The corporate security units only lasted two days before the sheer number of revolutionary troops either destroyed or forced them to surrender.
When the corporate garrison finally succumbed to the rebels, the town erupted into a celebration, cheer and joy filling the streets. Until news of a much larger force moving towards the area to secure the town and it's factory. It was Karsten who took the workers back into the factory to resume production, though instead of supplying whoever the mechs went to, they would use them themselves. In addition to the mechs, the teams started building armoured vehicles, field guns and infantry weapons though this severely cut into the production of the mechs, meaning only two of the new Cyclone Kodiaks were worked on, and subsequently rushed off the factory floor to defend the town along with dozens of armoured cars and field guns, and hundreds of rifles.
When the reclamation force reached the town, the once peaceful community was now heavily entrenched and fortified. Trenches, bunkers and weapon emplacements completely surrounded the perimeter of the town. The resultant battle was bloody and hard-fought, but in the end, the corporate unit had been driven off viciously by the defenders, suffering devastating losses compared to the defenders.
After the dust had settled, the leadership of the town contacted the rebel leadership, offering the factory and their services along with some of the troops they had to the cause. Karsten volunteered to join up, like many of the veterans, bringing with him the mech he piloted out of the factory floor to defend is home and livelihood.
