AIM contact:Ginkan Sk
Alternate contacts:skype oasisjunker99
Character name:Russel Bagman
Source canon:SRW Original Generation
Community tag:Russel Bagman
Do I want a HMD:I'll let the mods make one.
Notes:
Background: Russel had a normal enough life growing up in New York State in America. He followed in his fathers foot steps and enlisted in the military when he turned 18 years old. Training went well enough s he entered the training school to be a pilot while also taking a secondary course in mechanics which would later become a very big asset for him. During his training he fell in with one Katina Tarasak and has been assigned to her ever since. It was not until at the age 23 a year after he entered active service did he see major action in the DC war as part of the Steel Dragons.
He served along side Katina in Octo Squadron, which was a squadron with in the SRW Original Generation, with a good deal of distinction and fought all the way to the end of the war. After the war he was assigned to the Unity Group from the Steel Dragons, along with the rest of Octo Squad. Due to his veteran status he is field testing along with his squad-mates the new Gespenst MKII Kais. While Russel does not agree with what Bian did he knows they need to be ready and he intends to help do what he can for the new organization.
Original canon background: It's sadly very simple in SRW OG canon he's there with Katina and recalled to wear a helmet with a clear faceplate and put on a name tag. The rest we know is history. He's there to cover the party's backs.
Personality: Well Russel is first and foremost a nice guy, he's the sort of friend who will help you with a move without being asked, or haul your drunken self back from the bar after a night out without much complaint really. He really doesn't get vicious or upset though hurting innocent people, and other horrific deeds like the sort of things the School does to children will actually get a rise out of him. Often it will set him to do what he can to help victims of such actions or fighting hard to stop it.
While he's not the most chatty person in the world he does enjoy hanging about with other people be it comrades on the ship or his few non military friends from when he was in school. It's often interesting to just want the antics of his more wild comrades when they get going about thing. The two people he's tied to the most at this point in time are Tasuku Shinguji one of his squad mates and his CO Katina Tarask. Tasuku seem to get on well enough though he's some times the victim of the other pilot's jokes on occasion, Now Katina is an very odd connection he has, she's his CO and shockingly his friend even with all she puts him through, he's not a cowards but he just takes what she dishes out, because he's accepted that's just how his friend is and when you get down to it she's a good person who he honestly gives a damn about. Though she can drive him up the wall with her antics some days, he watches her back and she does watch his so it's not a one way relationship as it might appear on the outside.
Goals? Somewhat generic really, protect his home, his people, stop the fighting so humanity can prepared to deal with the aliens who are attacking already. Also those still may yet come. That's one thing he agrees with Bian on at this point but he's went about it wrong. The war has been started now though it's got to be ended as quickly as humanly possible before Earth's in ruins with more aliens possibly on the way. On top of the ones they are dealing with already. Hopes? Someday Katina will be less reckless and less likely to chew on him as it were. A high hope, perhaps impossible but that's what he hopes for. He also dreams about the day when the fighting ends and he can end up with a nice quiet and uneventful garrison post. (Like that will ever happen.)
He doesn't like the wars at all he doesn't always agree with his government and some division he likes but over all it does keep his home safe and if he jumped ship it could make things messy for his parents. Still he hopes the system can be changed even if he only plays a small part in it it just by fighting to protect people from getting caught up in wars that plague the Earth Sphere. On piloting giant robots? That is something he honestly enjoys he wishes he could get a sports one someday and just do it for fun but that's very unlikely and he knows it. So somewhere inside is the kid who used to play with Mobile suit figures and he's doing it for what he sees are the right reasons.
Now in closing I'll cover Russel's general temperament he's a nice guy as said before and tends to be soft spoken only really butting in when it truly means something. Otherwise he's content to let his more articulate comrades speak but he's always lurking around as he doesn't like to be alone and fights best as part of a team as well. He's got a few interests namely the odd mecha model kid he buys and builds but it's never to the level of the likes of Ryusei and other mecha geeks seem to aspire too nor does he advertise such interests to much.
Capabilities and Resources: Russel is a former Jet Pilot turned Personal Trooper Pilot along side his flight leader Katina. He's an able combat pilot and able to seemingly keep a mech going even when it should be by all rights falling apart from the damage it has taken. He's also took mecha engineering in college and can function as a mechanic both on the field and off if needed.
Personally he's a trained solider and can handle himself on the ground has has access to the resources that his pay would give him the means to get. He's got an home back in America and that's about it. He also knows how to fly aircraft as well as he used to be a Messer Pilot. Finally he has the mysterious power to often keep Katina calm or reduce her rage, often by distracting her or keeping her in a healthy supply of energy drinks.
Type:Combatant
Notes: Just a note here. Given the Frame system the MKII Kai has allows it to be used in 3 different configs. Also the repair rig that is on Russel's machine allows him to do things like spot weld armour, repair some minor damage to various parts of a mechs, internal parts that have been exposed by armour breaches. Things that might keep someone going or get them back into a fight. Think inspired by the basic repair stuff that Roy Folker did in the first ep of Macross. It's not full out repair rig.
Unit Name:Gespesnt MKII Kai Type C
Unit Description: The Gespenst MK-II Kai is the result of the Halloween Plan. All of it's performance specs have been increased. Additionally hard points have been added on it's armour to allow for the swapping of three different equipment sets allowing it larger flexibly in deployment without the need to build three full out different personal troopers. The Type-C Parts is a mid to long-range support unit. It lacks the plasma buckler on it's arm which has been replace with two triple-barred machine-guns, additionally it carried fan-out missiles, twin beam cannons and can use just about any normal hand held weapon a Gespenst can use normally if a mission calls for it. Russel's machine also carries a basic repair rig to help support his squad mates.
Size: M
Terrain compatibility:
Air: Jumping Only
Ground: Yes
Water: Yes
Space: Yes
Favored terrain: Ground
Unit Name:Gespesnt MKII Kai Type N
Unit Description:The second setting is known as the Type N. It is most closely based off the mass production mark in terms of load out. It's armed with split missiles, Jet Magnum, a folding two way canon, a beam saber and can carry just about any other other hand held weapon a Gespenst can use. Russel is fond of using his Steel Knife along with an additional M90 assault rifle in this mode. Also he does know enough to Gespenst Kick well enough. He's no Kai but he's decent. It also still too has a basic repair rig on board.
Size: M
Terrain compatibility:
Air: Yes
Ground: Yes
Water: Yes
Space: Yes
Favored terrain: Ground
Unit Name:Gespesnt MKII Kai Type G
Unit Description:The third and final config is the Type-G. The Type-G is not a machine Russel uses often but he does have access to it. The unit is made for close combat fighting. It's armed with Plasma bucklers, two Plasma Stakes, it's chest also sports a Mega Blaster Canon. It's also the most agile of the three modes. It can additionally carry just about any standard hand held Gespenst weapon as needed. It also like the other modes has a repair rig.
Size: M
Terrain compatibility:
Air: Yes
Ground: Yes
Water: Yes
Space: Yes
Favored terrain: Ground
Upgrades: Russel has no upgrade tree barring snatching up a mech someone ditches for their own. (Yes that's a joke)
Wingmen: Nope, while Katina and Tasuku are around I do not feel right in making them wingmen.
Mission requirement: Russel has no events he has to have for his personal arc. He's here to support any other Banpresto Characters to be awesome. For that matter he's here to help other people get to be awesome in fights in general.
Suggested Event List: See above
Sample post:
Russel took a moment to look over his transfer papers. It seems beyond all reason the Octos has been noticed by someone in command. They served quite well he admitted but they just did their jobs. Russel again looked over the letter and then folded it back up.
"Well I should get going I'm going to be ..."
Russel paused as a dawning look of horror came across his face. He had forgot to pick up the latest flat of energy drinks for Katina. Without any time to waste Russel bolted trying to get to the store before it closed. He was out of the barracks in a moment running as fast as his legs would carry him.
He kept moving avoiding several other people just barely as he sprinted for the store. On shouted at him and he only replied as he kept running.
"Sorry! I'm running late for something!"
Russel kept moving down several more streets and skidded to a halt infront of the store, he had just made it just barely. The annoucement the store was closing echoed over the PA even as he entered. It would not be long but he had enough time. He knew where the energy drinks were after all.
"Okay Buster Rifle, energy drinks..."
Russel muttered to him self as he moved down the isle looking for said brand of energy drinks. He looked and found the shelf where they should be empty a look of horror crossed his face. So close, yet there seemed to be none. Katina would be be very pleased about this. He searched the shelves time was running out, but he thought it might be futile. He couldn't give up on this he did not wish to see Katina angry about this.
Then it was if he heard an angelic chorus there was a flat of the drink hidden or miss shelf behind some terribly bad bran of energy drink from the colonies known as Gravity. He grabbed the flat and made for the check out starting to relax finally, he got the drinks. The worst he'd have to deal with is Katina yelling at him for being late and he could live with that. It meant the rest o the squad wouldn't be dealing with her being hacked off in general.
He paid for the drinks thanked the clerk for waiting and vanished into the night to deliver his cargo. He would rather have to fight some of the Divine Crusade again then deal with an angry Katina.
