Gah. Character up after class. Reserving this post for that purpose.

I will however post a character portrait.

Name:Josiah "Fatman" Alexanders
Age: 42
Description: Josiah is past the prime of his life although there are still inklings of his past. He moves slowly enough, walking with a slight limp that he tries to offset with a metal cane made out of an old rusted hydraulic cylinder. His hair was brown in his youth but is starting to achieve more of a salt and pepper look, although his goatee has resisted the recoloration of age. His nickname comes from the considerable paunch he's allowed himself to grow. It should not be confused however with weakness, something he is always happy to point out by walloping someone with his cane.
Backstory: Josiah has been working with Mechs since he was a child, first as an apprentice to an engineer, then as an engineer himself, and then finally as a private consultant. His consulting firm has hit a stretch of bad luck lately which he attributes to the decreased interest in mechs of the sort he can provide as a private citizen. And the fact that it got firebombed by those damn Oracle hippies. He aims to climb into his own mech and show those hippies what for.
Mech Design: Vera, as Josiah calls his old warhorse, is a tauric mech built for stability and capacity over speed and agility. It has heavy armor plating and is built heavily out of salvage, lending it a piecemeal appearance at times. It tends to sit low to the ground, resting between it's four legs to give the cockpit a little more cushion against oncoming attacks. For those of you familiar with DND imagine a drider in blue platemail that likes to shoot at you from beneath a cage of his own legs. Vera is painted Blue
