Cool to see this is back (again). Miiiight make a character sheet, but I have a terrible track record of being active for extended periods of time, so I'll just PTW for now.

[Glass]

First off, on phone, so I may be doing this piecemeal and not necessarily all at once. I have an hour right now and then I'll have other things that need doing, and there may be things before that.

Regarding hijacking: I'd kinda put it in on the idea that Merging would get around that. That said, I hadn't actually been clear on how Homonculi happened; I'd been thinking that they would (or wouldn't) be made when the Alchamech was, and that the builders just didn't know how that all worked. If we could discuss this over Discord at some point (as given above, I don't have much time right now), that would be great. At the very least, Merging would probably help.

I'm not quite sure what SEP stands for, but given the context, I'm assuming stealth stuff. The don't-notice-me runes don't really care what senses you're using to pick up on it. They likely wouldn't get around specific magic-sensors though; it would be pretty bright in a small area (though if there's a bunch of other Alchamechs or Purified around, it may still get overlooked). The chameleon thing is specifically for physical senses.
Quite frankly, the only two situations where I'm likely to encounter another alchamech are if I'm infiltrating a location where they're stored or built, or if I land face-first in a lot of horrible luck.

The plainclothes are worn, the rope is worn like a belt, the grappling hook is on the end of the rope and is the kind that folds out of a cylinder, the knives and pistol all are held on the belt, and we can ignore the native clothes. I don't know what the standard-issue stuff actually is; we can discuss it, and I'll try to figure out the bare minimum I need and how/wear to store it. Some of it may be held externally on Sigma.

Sigma sounds mostly androgynous, leaning female. I'm thinking that it may be (approximately) how their original pilot sounded.

With how Mind Meld is described now, its effectiveness in hijacking would depend on the strength of the target homonculus, and thus may or may not work too well depending on the target.

Someone Else's Problem. Its a HHGTTG reference. It causes anyone who sees the object inside the SEP field and think it is someone else's problem, thus ignoring it. Basically a don't-notice-me-senpai field . As you have stated one of your main fighting strategies is to hijack enemy alchemech and given their proliferation in the enemy army, having only two situations where you are bound to run into them is a little optimistic.

Standard issue is just a PDW and armor. Where does your guy keep the two massive range weapons that his mech has?

The hijacking Alchamechs thing was an afterthought that I tacked on when I thought about the Merging thing. If there is an available Alchamech to hijack, I will gladly do so, but I'm not expecting to have an opportunity often.

Can I say that the Merging also redirects the Alchamech's Homunculus's loyalties to Octavian's? I'm ok if the answer is no, and it's frankly not likely to come up often, regardless, but I'd like for us to fully know what happens if we encounter the hijacking situation.

Anti-rank rifle, mine layer, and crossbow (foldable, because foldable is helpful) are all held on the back, basically in a set of three parallel sheaths. I've already mentioned where the swords are held.

Things I didn't get to say earlier but was going to:
Original pilot that Sigma had been with for a long time died (I haven't thought of how but it seems suitable for what followed), after which the military tried and failed for a while to find a pilot she would cooperate with to a useable degree. They had Octavian try, Merging facilitated understanding and stuff, new pilot/Alchamech pair.

Also, after thinking about it for a bit, I came to the conclusion that Octavian could be considered a Purified/Pilot crossclass, both because he technically has a "Purified ability" of the Merging thing, and since Sigma is exosuit-sized, the playstyle will likely be similar.

Name: Hally, "Mech slayer" jones.
Inventory: Custom anti material sniper rifle nicknamed the "Headhunter", C4 charges, Bayonet, satchel with a wide variety of specialized ammo.

General Skills:Basically the same across classes, boils down to "What are your not-class-specific talents".
Combat Skill: A good enough sniper to kill an alchemech by shooting its pilot at long range. in other words, inhumanly good with a sniper rifle, even before they became a purified. Decent with a knife as well.
Dodge: Above average for a purified.
Physical Characteristics: Fast enough to match a medium alchemech for speed, Able to jump up buildings, strength somewhat below most purified. Vision augmented, enabling telescopic viewing, and ability to switch filters to thermal for night operations... Or shooting through walls.

Purified Abilities: What augmentations you have undergone that sets you apart from the "normal". Some powers have to be "turned on", though it is usually something that happens instantly. Just don't get hit by surprise!

Armor: Light external armoring. AKA, partially made of metal, will still die if you shoot at her with anything larger than a pistol.
Weapon Specialty: Wields a massive alchemically augmented sniper rifle named the headhunter. This rifle is capable of punching through just about anything and has frankly ridiculous range, with accuracy to match. It has variable alchemical ammo for when she needs just a bit more kick(Fire acid lightning ETC). But is slow firing, and has limited ammo. So she also has a detachable bayonet for their rifle.
Specialties: Recon, spotting enemies, and sniping from truly ridiculous distances at tiny targets.
Special: Limited flight capability, enabling incredibly fast relocation.

Backstory: Once, hally was a farmgirl, one whose main hobby involved sharpshooting. However she was soon drafted into the army as a footsoldier. Hally distinguished herself during the battle of Khan's reach by sniping an enemy officer, After killing 2 alchemechs, then she evaded or killed every soldier/purified who went after her, before slaying a final alchemech near the end of the battle  She killed the first of the alchemechs by Shooting its pilot through an opening, the second by making its ammo cook off, and the third by shooting it in both its leg joints, while it was moving, then collapsing a nearby building onto them, unfortunately being caught in the collapse. Resulting in the loss of one arm, both legs, and a myriad of other injuries. However, due to her outstanding performance, she was selected to become a purified. Receiving alchemech based limbs and armor, along with a number of other enhancements, and her signature rifle, the headhunter.
Appearance: Mostly metal at this point, looks a lot like a mini alchemech, wears a helmet most of the time. Has short hair, Brown eyes, and a scar on her cheek.

Keep in mind that taking out the pilot doesn't necessarily keep the alchamech from being a threat  .

"Average for a purified" is a fairly non-descriptive term. It would be like saying "average for a superhero" and including superman, batman, the punisher, professor X, and the flash. The fact that it is such a varied group means that you have some who are basically human normal, or even lower, while having some who are pretty far beyond. Could I get a more descriptive term of what you are capable of in terms of dodging and strength?

Is the Headhunter meant to be a Caster gun, or is it a unique weapon that fires alchemically powered shells?

How is flight accomplished? Does she have a pair of wings? Rockets in her feet?

Mind if I reserve a spot while I dig up one of my old sheets? I really, REALLY want to see where this game goes.

If we can reserve a spot, can I?

I'll probably just accept anyone who joins even after the game starts, as part of my experiment on combating player attrition.

[Pencil_Art]

Backstory and appearance to be worked on, just registering interest.

Spoiler: Dealer (WIP) (click to show/hide)

Name: Lewys “Peddlar” Kaye
Inventory: caster revolver, alchemical grenade equivalent, noticeably patched and worn robes, a stiletto, a set of vials and hypodermic needles, sterilizing kit for said needles, military alchemical stimulants (in intravenous and pill form) and assorted psychoactive, probably illegal drugs in the form of liquids, herbs, and pills.

General Skills: Lewys has a knack for finding materials on the black market, being quick to establish connections with “suppliers” wherever he goes. He also displays talent for negotiating picked up from years of haggling prices with his clients.
Combat Skill: Having grown up on the streets, Lewys is reasonably skilled with his stiletto and other short bladed weapons in close quarters, and combines formal combat training with his experiences of fighting dirty to disorient and decisively cripple opponents in a melee. However, Lewys is pretty average at shooting - as a result, he typically relies on area of effect alchemical weapons or general explosives, shanking anybody that gets too close and relying on his friends with guns to keep the rest far away.
Dodge: Lewys dodges well, having been taught by both the odd brawl and military training how to get out of the way, and can go into close quarters combat with the average human soldier confident of a fair chance of coming out without serious injury. His response to being under fire, however, is simply to keep his head down and his enemy under pressure through a barrage of acid, fire, and whatever else he can think of to keep them not shooting him too much.
Physical Characteristics: Lewys’s wiry frame and below-average height are well suited for the philosophy of staying out of the way in a fight. However, this means he rarely has the advantage of pure force and strength in a straight up duel, where he relies instead on agility and cunning to outmaneuver his opponent into a position of disadvantage.

Alchemical Skills: Lewys is trained in the field of alchemical interactions with biological systems. His specialty therefore lies in the concoction of stimulants and supernatural cocktails that temporarily give fellow soldiers increased strength, focus and general combat ability, as well as the application of debilitating, painful effects to his enemies over large areas. More powerful mixes can, for a time, grant physical abilities close to a Purified’s, or transform someone into a beast of legend, suitable for single combat with a mech, although Lewys is not yet skilled enough to reliably create those. Lewys also has a general appreciation of the use of alchemical explosives and is able to transmute such weapons easily, though not with the same confidence as he mixes his stimulants.
Alchemical Reserves: Lewys is not especially alchemically gifted in terms of endurance, and can transmute about a room’s worth of material before exhausting himself. As a result, he tends to transmute on the go, replenishing explosives bit by bit as he works so he doesn’t tire himself out too much at once and has time to recover. He often boosts himself with his signature stimulants to make his alchemy more robust and effective.
Alchemical Duration: The effective duration of Lewys’s more offensive alchemical abilities is limited to about half an hour, while the duration of his stimulants varies but generally maxes out at around 12 hours.
Alchemical Weapons:
- Acidic Cloud Transmutation (Light): generates a cloud of corrosive mist, mostly useful for burning people rather than machines
- Miniature Napalm Transmutation (Light): creates a small circular area of intense flame that can spread
- Incendiary Caster Shell (Light)
- Incendiary and Acidic Grenades (Light)
- Explosive Caster Shell (Heavy)
Alchemical Armor: Lewys has the basic knowledge necessary to quickly throw up rock and dirt barriers from the earth, providing some makeshift cover from small fire, which he can do for both himself and nearby allies. His stimulants make allies less likely to get caught in compromising situations in the first place as they increase awareness and other mental faculties as well as physical ability. He generally deals with being targeted by a mech by running away, but can improvise vision-obscuring cover by harrasing mechs with acidic clouds or by transmuting regular smoke.
Alchemical Transmutation: Due to his experience in prototyping and producing military-grade stimulants with precise measurements of ingredients, Lewys has a good eye for detail and can repair complex patterns on alchamechs without too much trouble. Such complex repairs do take several minutes, however. Simpler and rehearsed transmutations such as grenades or barriers can be done in a second or two.
Alchemical Medical: Lewys’s education gives him a wealth of biological knowledge to be able to effectively treat most of the injuries (bullet wounds, serious burns) you will see on the battlefield within minutes. In most cases, he can also restore the casualty to mostly battle-readiness with a shot from his stimulants, although this alert state does not last for long and it is generally safer to send them off the battlefield to recover.
Backstory: WIPeroo
Appearance: Ditto

EDIT: Sorry, too busy for now.

[Stirk]

I'm gonna work on a sheet for this.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Jamison Rogers, Callsign- Harbinger
Inventory: Light temperature regulating clothing with double-layered armor over the trunk, combat boots, a syringe with an alchemical stimulant meant to stave off shock long enough for a last ditch attack or an attempt to retreat to medical care, and a sleek cylinder resembling a sword handle. He also has iron sand/dust hidden between the layers of his armor plates.

General Skills: Above-average sense of time, survival skills sufficient enough to create makeshift shelters and find some food in inhospitable environments along with identifying some plants for rudimentary first aid, knowledge of general subjects such as reading, writing, math, etc. And some knowledge of battlefield tactics insofar as they apply to an asset of his capability. He also enjoys whittling.
Combat Skill: His manipulation of electromagnetism has led him to become proficient with multiple forms of ranged and close attacks. At long range he prefers to launch objects, aided by his perception to enhance his aim. However, he prefers to fight at mid-to-close range where he can make use of his favored lightning attacks. In close combat he prefers to use his power to enhance and enable his melee skills using a fighting style that focuses on dodging and countering with strikes taking advantage of any openings the opponent makes.
Dodge: His agility allows him to potentially block or dodge bullets, but it is further augmented by his tactic of using magnetic fields linked to himself and relative points in his zone of control for linear bursts of speed. Using his abilities to sense moving magnetized objects as a sort of sixth sense (even if not fully developed yet) allows him to react faster when dodging or deflecting projectiles.
Physical Characteristics: He has impressive perception and reaction speed, allowing him to possibly block even high-speed projectile attacks. While he is not the fastest or strongest Purified, his exceptional agility allows him to make use of his reaction speed, trained reflexes, and his style of combat. He is still strong enough to lift about 750 lbs and sprint up to 50 mph.
Purified Abilities: Electromagnetism Manipulation

Armor: Magnetic Shield- Sets up a two-layer shield/dome around him. The outer layer is a polarizing field, usually centered around him, which polarizes objects passing through it that are then repelled by the strong magnetic field that makes up the inner layer. This can also be used to form a repulsive wall or panels.
Magnet Sword- His laser sword (or more specifically a blade shaped field emanating from the sword handle regardless of if the laser part of the sword is there) coated in a smaller, concentrated version of his magnetic shield, allowing it to deflect projectiles by magnetizing and repelling them as it strikes them.
Blur- His electromagnetism lets him warp refract light around him, blurring his image to make him harder to target.
Mirage- He refracts/reflects the light hitting him to conceal himself while displaying his image at a different place. Since the light is just refracted, the image mirrors his movements.
Body armor: He has two layers of folding and interlocking metal armor plates on his clothing covering his chest, torso, and back which are magnetized so that they are not cumbersome or weighing him down within his zone of control. He can also detach and manipulate them with magnetism to block attacks away from his body. In addition, the space between the plate layers is filled with iron sand that he can manipulate.
Weapon Specialty:
Light: Iron Sandstorm- He manipulates the iron sand out of its hiding place in his armor and uses it to scour or otherwise harm light foes.
Light: Stormspray- Within his zone of control, he can build up multiple points of significant opposing charges and generate lightning bolts to strike his targets.
Light: Laser Sword- Used for fighting lightly armored foes in close quarters, he generates a beam of focused light anchored to his sword handle to make it appear like a functioning piece of tech. While the damaging portion is infrared, he often coats it in a layer of visible light for the added flashiness.
Light/Heavy: Magnet Push/Pull- By magnetizing people/objects/himself within his zone of control, he can manipulate them similar to telekinesis. This would cover pushing targets away, pulling them closer, or magnetically manipulating objects to fling at targets or strike them.
Light/Heavy: Railgun- Uses multiple aligned magnetic fields to rapidly accelerate a target/object (or objects) linearly. The size of the object(s) and amount of acceleration determine whether it is a light or heavy attack.
Light: Laser Barrage- He can generate multiple lasers at a time from any points within his zone of control to burn through surrounding groups of lightly armored foes
Heavy: Stormhammer- Within his zone of control, he can build up incredible amounts of charge between two points , potentially while ionizing the air between them, to generate a powerful lightning bolt to strike the target at the end of the ionized trail.
Heavy: Neon Executioner- Generating a larger, concentrated beam of light from his sword allows him to use his sword skills to fight heavily armored opponents. He tends to color this one with bright neon colors.
Light/Heavy: Cataclysm Spear- Creates a spear made of concentrated light, wrapped in a magnetic field to keep its shape outside of his zone, which is then hurled at the target. Upon impact, the energy is transferred into the target to excite its molecules, resulting in spreading explosions as the reaction propagates. Lower charges can be used for groups of lightly armored foes or one heavier armored light foe, while higher charges are used for Alchamechs and other heavy targets.
Specialties: Zone of Control- He has perfect (or at least very precise and powerful) control of electromagnetism within a zone of defined range around him. (Maybe 20m to start so I can expand it with training?). His control over generating and controlling the manipulated forces diminishes rapidly proportional to the distance outside of his zone.
Electromagnetic sense- His always active zone of control also acts as a sixth sense, allowing him to sense things within it that are magnetized or generate a magnetic or electrical field.
Special: He can magnetize/polarize anything, even nonmagnetic substances or materials, to manipulate with his powers.

Backstory: Jamison was raised in a nice home by a loving middle-class family. There was really nothing remarkable or interesting about his life, at least nothing beyond the fascination with which children tend to view many mundane things. However, that changed when he was seven. Kidnapped from the school he attended by military spooks and replaced by an alchemically produced clone , he was voluntold that he would be participating in a cutting edge program to provide Pufified that could give Hermes Trismegistus the military power it desired. Each of the children in his group was to be shaped into a weapon of mass destruction, capable of matching even the heaviest alchamechs in terms of destructive capacity. The "alchemical artists", for they hated to be called alchemists, saying it was too bland and uncreative, would turn him into a killing machine, but that would come later. Before that, he would have to endure endure mornings of classes over a broad variety of subjects such as math, english, history, and battlefield tactics. His afternoons were filled with physical training, and occasionally weeks would be spent on survival "training" (which is what they called dumping empty-handed children off in the wilderness and leaving them to find their way back). As he grew, he and his group were given alchemical enhancers in their food to strengthen their bodies and minds. When they reached puberty, the individual treatments began. Jamison's treatment resulted in his electromagnetic powers, although he was not completely sure how even after the "artists" explained to him some obscure principles and gobbledygook relating to magnifying the magnetic fields generated by electrical impulses in his body to create his zone of control. The next year's were spent learning about and testing different aspects of his powers and those of his group. Their "graduation" involved a mission to destroy an Ostanian city to weaken their supply lines. This was Jamison's first use of his charged Cataclysm Spear, and it resulted in a crater which may turn into a nice small lake if the Ostanians get some good rain. Fighting on the front intensified as his group was returning, and they were split up and each sent to the frontlines.
Appearance: Jamison stands at about 6'4", with a robust and muscular build. His dark brown hair is buzz-cut and his eyes are ocean blue. He has a short, groomed beard and mustache combo of dark brown hair stretching across his face from from his cheekbones to his strong chin. His skin is lightly tanned.

So you are basically a jedi

To start with, your backstory doesn't make much sense. Why pull a changeling plot if you can just make an exact clone good enough to fool their loved ones? It would be like a heist movie spending time scoping out the area, learning every detail of a building, taking out the guards, and bypassing a dozen traps only to replace the suitcase full of money they where after with an identical suitcase full of the exact same amount of money. Sure they succeeded and won't get caught, but it can hardly be called the perfect crime. What benefit does kidnapping apparently random children have over just using the fully functioning clone they apparently have access to? Ignoring the moral problems, it seems like a waste of time and resources on their part.

Whoa that is a lot of abilities.

Is his Magnetic Shield static, or does it move with him? If it is static, does it go away if he moves out of range?

What is his limit when it comes to lifting, pushing, and rail-gunning things? What is his approximate "magnetic strength"?

What do you mean by 20m area? Do you mean a sphere with a radius of 20m, so that he can use it on anything within 20m?

Name: Hally, "Mech slayer" jones.
Inventory: Custom sniper rifle nicknamed the "Headhunter", C4 charges, caster grenades, Bayonet, satchel with a wide variety of caster shells

General Skills:Basically the same across classes, boils down to "What are your not-class-specific talents".
Combat Skill: A good enough sniper to kill an alchemech by shooting its pilot at long range, Eliminate entire squads by flying by and shooting them, and kill an officer from around a mile away. In other words, inhumanly good with a sniper rifle. Decent with a knife as well.
Dodge: 3 times that of an average human
Physical Characteristics: Fast enough to match a medium alchemech for speed, Able to jump up buildings, strength lies just slightly above human average. Her Vision is augmented, enabling telescopic viewing, and ability to switch filters to thermal for night operations... Or shooting through walls.

Purified Abilities: What augmentations you have undergone that sets you apart from the "normal". Some powers have to be "turned on", though it is usually something that happens instantly. Just don't get hit by surprise!

Armor: Light deployable external armoring. AKA, partially made of metal, will still die if you shoot at her with anything larger than a pistol. Main suitability comes from her activatable ability to speed up the rate at which she processes information, this increases her reaction times to the point where dodging bullets and lining up shots while flying or shortly after shooting becomes, while not easy, doable.
Weapon Specialty: Wields a massive alchemically augmented sniper rifle named the headhunter. This rifle is capable of punching through just about anything and has frankly ridiculous range, with accuracy to match. For when it needs a bit more punch, it has an underbarreled caster grenade launcher.(Caster shell accepting underbarrel attachment.) She is also fond of bayonets and grenades.
Specialties: Shooting while moving, recon, and sniping from truly ridiculous distances at tiny targets.
Special: Rocket based flight capability, taking the form of alchemical thrusters on her back(in a winglike configuration), arms, and elsewhere, enabling incredibly fast relocation, hovering, and sustained airborne combat.

Backstory: Unknown, A freelance mercenary, first spotted in action during the battle of khan's pass, where she single handedly killed countless enemy soldiers, and won the battle by killing 7 alchemechs and the leading officer with her sniper rifle. when confronted it was revealed she was a human soldier, armed only with a custom rifle. She has been augmented to become a purified by the intelligence service and army, in exchange for her fighting on our side.

Appearance:

And with that, it looks like everyone has responded to my nit-picky notes! Yay!

Mind if I reserve a spot while I dig up one of my old sheets? I really, REALLY want to see where this game goes.

If we can reserve a spot, can I?

Rockeater is still working on his, so we will have to wait a bit before starting. Still interested Dustan? We can always bring you in later if you are busy now.

[Dustan Hache]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Tech.Sgt Dustan Hache.
Inventory:Mauser PDW Pistol With folding stock, Alchemech Pilot Armor, and 2 50 round splattercannon clips.

Piloting skill:He's fairly adept at handling his weapons and movement, but prefers to synchronize and "lean on" his alchemech's homunculus for more advanced maneuvers, often involving his special, such as during high-speed flanking where his own reflexes would be too slow.
Alchemechal Synchronization: He is astoundingly synchronized to his personal mech, to the point where it's movements are as fluid as any other human. When piloting mechs that are not his own custom-suit. he's slightly more clunky with the controls but more than capable of making even the largest mech "Dance" under his guiding hands, provided the homunculus isn't fighting him.
Alchemechal Mechanics: He's more than accustomed to patching his mech in the field, but only if the damage is not crippling. If critical systems are damaged, then he has to carefully open the shell and replace it "in shop".
OOM: he's typically good at keeping hidden and dexterous enough to sabotage other mechs, but is mediocre when it comes to shooting and pales at hand-to-hand with even the least experienced officer.
Alchemech: Alicea

Size: Small, About twice the size of a suit of metal armor. It was designed mainly for scouting and anti-mech assassination.
Armor: Lightweight metal plating with some specialized internal alchemical shielding that enables his Special ability to function without tearing him into shreds or warping him into a solid object. Though capable of withstanding bullets, it is far more reliant on it's agility to avoid harm.
Weaponry:
-Corrosive Splattercannon: A light anti-infantry weapon designed primarily deal with crowds of soldiers by splashing them with a blob of acid.
-Iron Fist his right arm is coated in extra heavy plating, and shaped in such a way as to allow for high-velocity impact, essentially turning the entire arm into a giant bullet capable of piercing most forms of heavy armor in a couple of standard boxing jabs, and plunging straight through a mech during a well-placed charge.
Homunculus: Extremely advanced, almost humanlike AI. Some would argue that one of the alchemists designed the mech to accept a human mind in the place of a standard homunculus, though rumors have not been proven. It's primary purpose and calibration is to handle displacement and adjust the movements to compensate for inertia with minimal loss of velocity.
Maneuvering: Extremely quick, to the point where sprinting with it can give Purified a run for their money despite being larger and bulkier.
Special: The true heart and soul of the mech is it's teleportation core, which allows the mech to warp short distances at will. Due to the complex nature of such movement, The homunculus generally controls when and how it is triggered, and often takes several minutes between warps to prevent instability and calculate required changes in direction to prevent a sudden and grisly demise due to full-body tackle or unintentional bonding with another object.

Backstory: Dustan was a test pilot for hire, testing mechs and making sure they functioned without issue. He did so frequently, until he was asked to retrieve a mech with a rogue homunculi that was trying to "Run away" from it's creators. upon tracking down and meeting Alicea, He asked the alchemists to leave her in, and asked to have the mech for himself. They agreed, and ever since that day the two of them were an inseparable pair.
Appearance: A thin, Wiry man with dark brown hair, a short-trimmed beard, and orange-brown eyes. Alicea is painted dark gray with brown outlines for the locations of a few key systems and a has a bulky humanoid-esque shape.

Maneuvering: Extremely quick, to the point where sprinting with it can give Purified a run for their money despite being larger and bulkier.
Special: The true heart and soul of the mech is it's teleportation core, which allows the mech to warp short distances at will. Due to the complex nature of such movement, The homunculus generally controls when and how it is triggered, and often takes several minutes between warps to prevent instability and calculate required changes in direction to prevent a sudden and grisly demise due to full-body tackle or unintentional bonding with another object.

Backstory: Dustan was a test pilot for hire, testing mechs and making sure they functioned without issue. He did so frequently, until he was asked to retrieve a mech with a rogue homunculi that was trying to "Run away" from it's creators. upon tracking down and meeting Alicea, He asked the alchemists to leave her in, and asked to have the mech for himself. They agreed, and ever since that day the two of them were an inseparable pair.
Appearance: A thin, Wiry man with dark brown hair, a short-trimmed beard, and orange-brown eyes. Alicea is painted dark gray with brown outlines for the locations of a few key systems and a has a bulky humanoid-esque shape.

And he's back! You didn't actually detail what Iron Fist does, while Splattercannon can be considered a "Light" weapon under the new system. Presumably iron fist would be a "Heavy" weapon now. Otherwise it still looks good.

((Seeing that I'm going to be the only one who's an Officer, let's see what I can make of this.))

Name: Lieutenant Minerva Washington, Callsign: Iron Rose

Inventory: Wireless communicator, binoculars, compass, pocket-watch, officers' saber, service pistol with ammunition, and first aid kit.

General Skills: Minerva has great attention to detail which allows her to notice things that others would miss as well as easily detect barely noticeable visual cues people give off to get a gist of their intentions and feelings.  Minerva also possesses outdoor survival skills which allow her and, by extension, her soldiers to live off the land.

Combat Skill: Though she typically lets her soldiers and Alreona do the dirty work for her, Minerva is definitely no slough in the melee department. A talented sword wielder, Minerva can carve through lower level troops with frightening ease and can prove a challenge to more skilled opponents who are not supersoldiers. However, she possess only a typical level of skill with the pistol, preferring to let her Alreona do all the fancy perforating.

Dodge: Minerva can dodge just as well as a very agile human, though she is no faster than a typical sprinter.

Physical Characteristics: Though strength isn't her strongest suit, preferring to let her Alreona do all the barehanded skull crushing, Minerva is agile enough to avoid getting cut down before launching a swift but brutal counter-assault, having taken the time to keep herself in peak condition. Of course, being agile enough to avoid getting punched in the face does leave one less tough to taking hits that actually land.

Squad: With tactical adaptability in mind, Minerva's squads are customized in a way that either can be used to support each other in various ways while executing a particular plan.

Size: Minerva is in command of three squads, each specialized in various roles

• Recon Squad Raven (Sgt. Henri Thompson) - Responsible for scouting out enemy positions as well as identifying weaknesses and enemy assets for the other two squads to exploit.
• Tactical Squad Owl (Sgt. Alice Heinrich) - Well rounded squad useful for responding to and countering almost any threat as well as supporting and mopping up after the other two squads.
• Assault Squad Peregrine (Sgt. Maurice Applon) - Heavily armed squad capable of breaching enemy perimeters and storming objectives to take them by force. Can be used to clear the way for and shield the other two squads.

Experience: Each squad had fought with Minerva in a few battles and had gained enough combat experience to make recruits blush, though they are nowhere near 'grizzled veterans' status...yet.

Weaponry/Special: Making use of specialized squads, Minerva have ensured that each squad receives the proper tools for the role they play:

• Recon Squad Raven - Other than camo-cloaks and standard-issued rifles, Raven also received a few sniper rifles for the marksmen among them and anti-armor grenades. They travel light to move more quickly and quietly
• Tactical Squad Owl - Besides the standard-issued gear and rifles, Owl received submachine guns and anti-armor rifles as well as frag and smoke grenades.
• Assault Squad Peregrine - Other than body armor and standard-issued shotguns, Peregrine also received a few heavy machine guns and grenade launchers as well as flash bangs

Leadership: Though she cannot claim to be the greatest leader in history, Minerva have nevertheless earned the respect of her soldiers due to getting them in (mostly) one piece during the battles they'd fought as a part of. Stoic and calculating, Minerva trusts her sergeants' judgments in following whatever orders she gives them. Despite being expected to take sole credit for whatever victories her squads achieved, Minerva is one of the officers who chooses to give credit when it is due, giving much of it to her subordinates while retaining very little for herself, earning her no small amount of respect from them. Though she usually stays in the rear to command her squad, Minerva would occasionally fight alongside one of her squad whenever she feel that they need her skills, presence, or Alreona.

Alreona: Apollo, who resembled a teenaged, male version of Minerva, totes around an anti-material rifle that he is strong enough to use while standing. He is skilled enough to fire a round at the vision slit of an enemy Alchemech from seventy meters away, yet is strong enough to use it as a makeshift club whenever necessary. Apollo is very tough, which is particular useful at making up for his relatively low agility. Unlike the stoic Minerva, Apollo is jovial and prone to wisecracking at enemies. He can also be silly at times, much to Minerva's chagrin. Though most officers would frown at having such an Alreona as their bodyguard, Minerva views him pretty much as a son as well as a boost of morale for her soldiers.


Backstory: Born to an urban, middle-class family. Minerva have always wanted to join the military. To her, there was something about its ability to organize and direct troops and resources that intrigued her, plus the prospect of being a part of that structure and moving it according to her whims appealed to her. Though reluctant, her parents gave in and had her enrolled into the nearby Bradenworth Officers' Academy. Graduating among the top percentage, Minerva was assigned threes squads of soldiers she soon modified to fit her needs. As her detachment underwent the crucible of combat several times, the group grew closer and became more specialized up until the present day.

Appearance: Having blonde hair that reached her neck, Minerva has brown eyes and has dark brown skin. She wears an officer uniform befitting her station and a short black cape that covers her right shoulder. Her Alreona, Apollo, looks similar except that his hair comes up to his ears except for the rear strands which are tied into a braid that reaches the base of his skull. He wear a vest over his short sleeved shirt and a red scarf instead of a cape. A thin scar runs from his forehead to just below his left eye. Her squads wear garb and gear best suited for their role, with Raven wearing camo-cloaks, Owl wearing standard gear, and Peregrine wearing body armor and face plates/ gas masks.

Yay~. I was starting to think we wouldn't have an officer.

How many men is in each squad?

Are the camo-cloaks alchemical or mundane?

How heavy is Peregrine's bodyarmor? Riot-Armor like?

Looks good, I like the detail.
