Hello! This right here is the Iron Crusaders ooc and sign up, if you couldn't already tell. Check in, say hello, make a character, do all that here. I also set up a Discord server, so if you have that (it's free by the way) then hop on over to the server.

  • Iron Crusaders is the name given to the project of soldiers that have undergone surgery in order to gain the full power of the Core. These soldiers, dubbed Crusaders, undergo training to fully understand the power their power suits give them as well as their limitations and weaknesses. Power armor of an Iron Crusader is simply called Armor, and varies (sometimes drastically) from Crusader to Crusader.
  • There are four major classes, Heavy, Medium, Light, and SPG.

    Light Armors are the nimblest class of tanks, but suffer dearly for it in armor and weapon strength. These Armors can easily out pace other classes. Light class Armors have only one sub class, Recon, which is designed to specifically get eyes on the enemy and relay positioning and logistics to their team, and are even lighter then the standard Light Armor.

    SPGs are moderately armored with a big gun. SPG class is divided into two sub classes, Destroyer and Sniper. Destroyers have heavy armor and a weapon large enough to take down buildings and blow up dams in one shot, this is traded for speed and maneuverability making them susceptible to flanks. Destroyers are meant to be front line bunker busters. Snipers are just that, light armor allowing for high maneuverability and with a weapon that, though not as powerful as the Destroyer class's, has a much higher range and damage potential then other classes outside of SPG. Sniper class does not fare well in sustained combat without support from other Armor classes.

    Heavy Armors are designed with absolute protection and oppressive fire power in mind. This class is the most heavily armored as well as the slowest and least maneuverability. Weapons, though not as powerful as a Destroyer's or Sniper's, is respectable none the less. Easily out flanked by lighter foes. Heavy class Armors have one sub class, Super Heavy. Trading almost everything for armor, these Armors are almost indestructible, but their weapons are comparable to a Light class's in stopping power.

    Medium Armors are the middle of the road. Not the fastest but not the slowest, not the most heavily armored nor the least, and a decent sized gun. Jack of all, Master of none. There are no sub classes for Medium Armors.
  • The first Armor prototypes, and those that followed, attempted to combine the maneuverability and size of infantry with the armor and stopping power of tanks. The first prototype, perhaps fittingly labeled Little Willie which was the nickname given to the prototype of the first tank, was big, bulky, and excruciatingly slower then what was hoped for, however the armor was enough to sufficiently protect the wearer during testing. Even with the obvious faults, the design held promise and the scientists and engineers persevered and began polishing the design.

    After many failed prototypes, frustration began to build. The power they could provide the frame without adding a diesel engine was to low to adequately put arms or armor on without drastically slowing down the wearer. Design after design was drawn before being angrily crumpled and possibly ripped to shreds before being tossed into the nearest bin. They were so close to what they dubbed the hybridization mark, the fusing of infantry and tank. But without sufficient power, they'd never be able to reach that mark.

    With the discovery of the Core and it power output, scientists and engineers once more set to work designing what would become the first used Armor of the Iron Crusaders. They had finally reached it, the hybridization mark.
  • Cores weren't unheard of at the start of the project, in fact several Cores were in storage throughout the entirety of the project. Cores were salvaged from combat with the alien invaders. Looking like creamy white pearls, they are only an inch in diameter but are surprisingly heavy for their size, nearly two pounds. This incredibly dense object has been commonly found in the weapons of killed invaders, these weapons refusing to fire before and after their Cores are removed.

    When tested upon in an environment with no stimuli aside from light, nothing happened. Poke and prod as they liked with their machines and gloved hands, the Cores would refuse to do anything. It wasn't until one frustrated scientist took off their gloves and prepared to throw the Core at the nearest wall did something finally happen. An intense power surge briefly turned everything on in the whole facility before turning everything off again.

    It was later learned that the trigger for releasing the power had been contact with the scientists skin. Further experiments showed that the greater the surface area touched by the skin, the greater the power output. Tests also showed that human flesh in general could release this power. Five years later and the first Core implant was performed. However, after completely implanting a Core in a willing volunteer, the Core did not activate and simply dissolved into the hosts body. Why this occurred is unknown, but even the slightest bit of exposure to air and light will prevent it from dissolving. Some biologists claim that this means that Cores are pseudo life and parasitic, like viruses but helpful. The safest part of the body to surgically implant a Core is the base of the neck by the T-2 and T-3 spinal column, about where the neck and shoulders meet.
  • In the Year 2087, the Earth was experiencing a high like no other. Advancements in technology and culture. A worldly peace that has lasted for a couple months past a year. Major diseases were limited to the few third world countries left, and hunger was next on the chopping block. But everything was thrown into chaos when the Asrai invaded.

    The Asrai, reptilian creatures with seemingly no morals. It is not currently known why they decided to invade Earth. But invade they did, and they blew our armies out of the water. More advanced and seemingly bred for war, they appeared unstoppable. What's given humanity the time to even come up with an idea of resistance was how after the initial attacks they seemed content to stay inside their fortresses and burn our cities one by one. Slowly but surely driving us to extinction.

    Though invaded, the world did not unite as one to push off the threat. Instead, the major countries of Germany, Russia, Japan, and America worked individually on separate projects. The leader of these projects was America, who had the most to lose with an alien base deployed on their soil. It was the Americans that fielded the first Armor prototypes, the design of which was quickly copied by other nations and worked on to fit their specific needs. These designs were unanimously, though not intentionally, named after old model tanks such as the KV-2, Hellcat, Panzerkampfwagon IV, and the Type 95 Ha-Go light tank.

    Russia focused on creating something that would not flinch even in the face of heavy fire. A common design choice by the Russians in World War Two, the large gun was added almost as an after thought. Their design was by far the biggest and bulkiest, yet it proved effective at close to medium battles simply because enemy shots could not penetrate the thick armor.

    The United States was looking more into the large gun aspect of the design, believing firmly in not giving the enemy even a chance to fight back. They developed long range fire power that could blow away almost anything set in front of it. However, their focus on not letting the enemy close lead them to believe that it wasn't even going to be a possibility. Properly supported, however, it never will be.

    Germany had a more balanced design. The designs did not shine particularly brightly on their own, but in a group they could trample anything that got in their way. Effective and cheap to produce compared to the other, more specialized designs, Germany could pump out hundreds of these armors once a successful model was finally designed.

    Japan simply wanted to run circles around the enemy, find their weak points, and exploit them to full effect. Japanese designs sky rocketed to the front of the pack, literally, when it came to speed. However, reduced armor and lower gun caliber for decreasing weight meant that they could not survive a head on assault.

    Eventually these four nations decided to work together and share their designs in an attempt for the perfect design. This lead to designs such as the type T28 super heavy from the Americans, the Russian ISU-122, German Leichttraktor, and Japanese Type 4 Chi-To. These designs were eventually separated out into the classes that they are in now.

    However, these models and designs were next to useless until the discovery of the Core's power and the subsequent adaptation of the existing designs in order to integrate this new power source. And volunteers who have had Cores successfully implanted would have to be trained as well before they were more then just piles of metal.
  • More commonly known as Lizards or Lizs, the Asrai are a reptilian looking race is more comparable to dinosaurs, as they are not cold blooded like modern reptiles.

    Field studies show that there are clear subspecies of Asrai. Smaller Skinks serve larger Crocs. There has also been a sighting of an Asrai that could only be described as a chameleon. And from what is known about their culture, that of strength and victory in battle, its not unsurprising to see the largest Croc leading an army. There are theories abound stating that the Asrai follow one, much larger, and much stronger leader as well as each base being a separate clan, and that these clans are merely working together for the time being. The second of the two theories would explain why minor skirmishes between Asrai have been recorded.

    Asrai soldiers are all the same. Their fire arms are uniform, with very little deviation between the equipment, though this equipment is markedly different between subspecies. That being said, Asrai officers have been known to lavishly paint there armor and wear battle trophies as well as carry an expertly crafted sword with engravings, presumably in the Asrai's language. These officers tower over their closest rival and average two and a half times the size of a human.
  • The Asrai have three known subspecies. Skinks, Crocs, and Chams. It is possible that there other subspecies that we do not yet know of. If an unknown subspecies is encountered, take thorough documentation before retreating.

    Skinks are the smallest of the known subspecies and are the target of bullying from their larger kin. Most Skinks appear rather frail but hide a remarkable strength and endurance. And with a cunning mind it isn't unheard of to see a Skink officer leading the much larger Crocs, though it is extremely more common to see them leading other Skinks.

    Skinks have the widest array of facial features they have frills and crests along with horns. Skink officers often paint on their frills, depicting their moment of greatest glory. However, most Skinks are quick to run from a fight when it starts to not be in their favor. They are opportunistic hunters, those Skinks

    Chameleons, or Chams for short, are a step above Skinks. But due to their small size they are still below Crocs. Chams have the innate ability to blend in with the background. The camouflage is not perfect, and a keen eye or thermals can spot them. That being said, when revealed they immediately begin flashing bright colors to try and confuse their would be attacker.

    Amazing shots, Chams are abysmal at cqc. Once the distance is closed with them, they are easy to deal with.

    Crocs are the largest of the known subspieces and are the front line soldiers. Crocs are securely at the top of the hierarchy and only have to worry about other Crocs. Croc officers are often times a sight to behold, bedecked in battle trophies and with customized arms and armor. Crocs will not run from a fight until they are heavily outnumbered and suffering severe losses. A big enough shock can send them running.

    Name: Evlyn 'Little Evie' of the Ivory Wolf clan
    Age: 16
    Gender: Female
    Sexuality: Heterosexual(but don't get your hopes up, her clan believes in arranged marriages)
    Personality:
    Curious - Evlyn's clan doesn't believe in the use of tech, or many modern things. As such, she is extremely curious about many modern things.
    Obedient - Evlyn was raised to listen to her betters. As such she will listen to most orders given to her, even if she finds them to be immoral
    Honest - Evlyn finds it hard to lie, and usually if she is lying, it's easy to detect, as she will avoid eye contact and fiddle with her hair.
    Single-minded - If Evlyn get's something into her head, it tends to be all she can focus on. Especially if it has to do with trying a new food, or playing a new game.
    Arrogant - Evlyn highly believes in her own abilities, to the point that she would prove them to anyone who mocked them(or, she would at least try)
    Naive - Evlyn doesn't know much about the modern world, as her village was secluded, and as such she is easily manipulated into doing things if one simply tells her "so-and-so is common".
    Background: Evlyn was born into a warrior village. They believed training and fighting to be everything. Her clan specifically trained in the way of the ninja, striking from the shadows and defeating their opponents with whatever means possible. Evlyn was the daughter of one of the clan's best warrior's, of course this meant they had high expectations for her. Since she was old enough to stand on her own she was trained in the ways of battle, from the most basics of fighting, to crafting smoke bombs on the go. She wasn't the fastest learner, but she excelled in what she did learn. When her clan heard of the aliens they thought of the glory that would come from helping defend against the invasion, thus they sent Evlyn to 'volunteer' for the Iron Crusader project.
    Reason for volunteering: Evlyn didn't volunteer of her own volition, her clan's elder volunteered her to bring glory and honor to the clan.(they lied about her age)
    Armor class: PL-01 Light class, Recon/Scout. Evlyn's armor is designed for stealth above all else. It has enough firepower for her to fight from the shadows, but in terms of defense she wouldn't last long in a direct fight.
    Misc: Evlyn is skilled in the ways of the ninja, she can beat most combatants in close quarter combat by simply using her ninja skills. She can also use these skills to fend off Asrai if for some reason she is lacking her armor, she can't kill them, but a smoke bomb to any creatures face makes a most effective escape tactic.

    Name: Billy Hobbs

    Age: 25

    Gender: Male

    Sexuality: Bi-curious (don't tell him that in public though)

    Personality: Billy is the sort of man you want by your side if the chips are down. Steadfast and charismatic, he always tries to do the right thing. Enjoys being in the spotlight, and always makes sure those who deserve it get a little taste. Has a very Team Dad mentality.

    Background: If it wasn't obvious, he was raised on a farm tending to animals and crops. Being the youngest of 12, Billy grew up strong and had tenacity to do just about anything he put his mind it. Doing well in football and studies, his family pushed him to seek higher education and when it came right down to it, the military was the final landing spot.

    Very early, he had volunteered to become an Iron Crusader. Billy wanted to be put onto the frontline and clear the way for his team, much like he did in highschool. Now, he takes great pride in his new job, and plans on being an intregal part of punting this bastards off his planet.

    Reason for volunteering: He always wanted to do something great with his life. Blowing shit up for your country seems good enough for him.

    Armor class: SPG Destroyer: M7 Priest
    Misc: Prefer coke over pepsi. Likes cowboy hats and cigars.
    b19b2510a86a77abc81cc7a29aaa5270.jpg

    Name:Andre Kesselman
    Age: 45
    Gender: Male
    Sexuality:Pansexual
    Personality: Andre is a man that appears much older than he really is. The war, the chaos, and so taking quite a brutal toll on his body and his mind. He suffers greatly from a form PTSD, though he's good at keeping it under control. For the most part. Though he's rather cheerful, smiling constantly, chatting with his fellow crusaders, a born leader. He's willing to sacrifice his own life to save others that he calls his comrades. It's rather exhilarating for him to fight in this war, even being crazy enough to try hand to hand in his Armor if the time calls for it. He's much like a father for his comrades,offering knowledge and help where they fail.
    Notably his PTSD does give him brief flashes of rage, and recklessness. He tends to lose feeling, making him very offensive, and very uncaring of his own well being. Explaining many of the scars covering his body, and even his dead eye.
    Background: Andre served in the military most of his life. He was apart of the Kommando Spezialkräfte, Germany's finest group of special forces soldiers. For most of his time, he was apart of black ops missions, completely off the record ordeals. He's killed many men, ranging from soldiers, who just like him had family, friends, and so on. To the most brutal Commanders that dared to oppose his homeland. Though this service took it's toll on his mind and body. Holding mans mouth shut, while he coughs up blood into your hands. Seeing your best friend impaled with a piece of a door from a blow up vehicle. These are images that distorted, and ruined Andre's mind.
    However he continued his service for years, one of the best operatives. He was remarked as a brute, but a very well trained one. Able to take on a whole squad, perhaps even a platoon of men if he was given the time to prepare and ready himself. He is by far among the strongest, and most skilled men to enter the iron Crusades. His entry into the Iron Crusades comes only a few years after his service in the Kommando ended. The German quite proud to don a suit of armor, and a core.
    Reason for volunteering: Quite simple reason really, humanity is at stake, and his love of combat has drawn him back to the front line fighting. He stands ready and waiting, to take on anything that gets in his way.
    Armor class:Heavy, no subclass. Based of the German Tiger II tank, as it was the last heavy tank vehicle ever completed and to see service in the Second World War.
    Misc:Very little to say here myself.​
    Zj385eL.png

    Name: Angela Klein
    Age: 26
    Gender: Girl
    Sexuality: Don't ask, don't tell.
    Personality:
    Angela's personality is a little prickly. She's grown averse to getting too close to others, as she feels they'll all just die in the end. This isn't to say she's completely antisocial, just not the sort to make friends quickly. Angela is otherwise cold, professional, and takes soldiering seriously, so the isn't the type to particularly enjoy jokes or other mischief. She tends to understate her own abilities, and blames herself for her (former) teammates' deaths.

    Background:
    Angela didn't originally plan to be a soldier. But like many in her generation, she was drafted to help feed the war effort against the invading Asrai. She survived basic training, and a combination of skill, talent, and luck has kept her alive ever since. Like it or not, Angela is a capable soldier, and has managed to be the sole survivor of her squad on a few occasions. Even if it's like a lone wolf, she'll always come back home. She's carrying a lot of baggage from leaving so many behind, whether they died on the battlefield or the operating table.

    Since her surgery and fitting for Armor, it's been the same shit, just on a different scale. The missions are more dangerous and with more at stake, and Angela continues on just the same. She's skilled enough to do quite well in her medium Armor, able to fill a variety of roles in any plan. One might argue that someone of her capability would be even more impressive if asked to further specialize, but she hasn't been pushed in any direction, yet.

    Reason for volunteering: Her entire unit was "volunteered" to test the new core installation surgery. Amoral human experimentation, you say? Nonsense.
    Armor class: Medium-class Panzer IV Ausf G
    Misc: Plenty of survivor's guilt. Fears being alone. Has a bit of a reputation as an "angel of death," as people teamed up with her tend to die, even if she doesn't.
    60613a8e748cdace1084d418b21c67ae.jpg

    Name: Yuliya Kolosova
    Age: 19. It's unwise to mock her height.
    Gender: Female. If you wish to check, make sure you have a will.
    Sexuality: Homosexual
    Personality: Yuliya is described by many as a fiery girl. She loves to fight, and will use almost any excuse to do so. Despite that however, she's not a loose cannon as some would assume. She knows when it's time to fight, and when it's not. She also hates hierarchy, if you try to 'pull rank' on her, her reaction isn't going to be submissive like you would expect, but on the contrary, she would hit her 'superior', likely in the face or somewhere more painful, and then do as she saw fit. She will respect those who prove their skill to be above her own, just not those who try to pretend they are her betters. Yuliya's morality is a bit skewed, it's not that it doesn't exist, she simply ignores it. For her money is everything, if you want her to kill a helpless child, and you offer enough money, she won't even hesitate.
    Background: Yuliya was born on Russian soil, however she wasn't raised there. She only lived in Russia for the first year of her life, after which her parents and her began traveling the world. They did this for four years. When she was five, they decided to settle in america. Her parent's both got jobs, and they held a steady, happy life. It was not to last however. Her parent's were both taken from her at a young age, her mother died of illness, while her father was killed by a robber trying to defend Yuliya.
    She was only seven when that happened. She was taken to a foster home, but she ran away a week after arriving. She lived off the streets, doing small jobs for people to earn what she called a living. When she didn't earn enough for food, she would steal it. She wasn't the best thief in the world though, and got caught quiet a few times. One such time she met a male around her own age who went by the name of Eric. He taught her the tricks of the trade, and how to hold her own in a fight.
    By the time of the invasion Yuliya had moved back to Russia, and even managed to get a job as a security guard for some company. When she heard about the Iron Crusader project, or more accurately the money that those who volunteered would receive, she volunteered immediately.
    Reason for volunteering: Money. She's not noble, she's not defending humanity, she's fighting for the money that comes with being a human guinea pig.
    Armor class: SMK Heavy, no Subclass. Her armor is meant to deal heavy damage, while also being able to sustain it. A SPG class armor might do more damage, but her's certainly isn't lacking in that department, having two cannons makes up for the downput of a single.
    Misc:
    0panther.jpg

    Name:Sabrina Traeger
    Age: 24
    Gender:Female
    Sexuality:Bisexual
    Personality:Cocky, and more than happy to try anything if it has a chance of success. Sabrina is prone to overextending, risking the safety of others for a chance at a clean shot, and relies very heavily on luck. She's always making bets, having fun teasing her fellow team members, and usually doing anything to get a laugh. Even going as far as to steal an entire closet of uniforms, before an inspection of new recruits. For her, the war is a priority, but she'll do anything to keep it from being entirely depressing.
    Background: Sabrina is a member of the same unit Andre was from, she's a much younger blood, and doesn't suffer from the same sickening torments the older man done. Her closest brush with a human being, in combat, was when she had to shoot an enemy soldier that had wandered too close with a suppressed pistol. Never has she suffered the same awful things Andre has. However she is just as highly skilled as the older male, a trained sniper by trade, and rather well built. Around 5'11, she's built like a soldier, with very little extra weight.
    As a sniper, she's taken pride in marksmanship, her greatest shot ever, putting down three men with one bullet, from a .338 Lapua GOL sniper rifle. Or even going as far as using an anti-tank gun once before, to take a shot on enemy sniper that was too well dug in a building. Her marksmanship and quick thinking making her prime for the Kommandos, and any war. Though she has had several reprimands for her pranks, and even once for a personal relationship.
    Reason for volunteering:Andre talked her into this mess, and the military also offered her a large pay increase to leave the Kommandos and join.
    Armor class: Panther, SPG Sniper. She uses an experimental 8.8 L/100 gun meant for the Panther II.
    Misc: Nothing important.
    d4917a1da6272bc8eb711aad36a313e0.png


    Name: Connor McKinley

    Age: 28

    Gender: Male

    Sexuality: Hetersexual

    Personality: Connor is an Irishman through and through. He's loud, he's proud, and he's ready to kick some ass at a moments
    notice. But because of his position of leadership in the squad, he has to be rather rational about what he does. He can't go charging
    headlong at the enemy just because one of them looked at him funny or scratched the paint. He puts thought into his battle strategy, and though he'll hear other's opinions that doesn't mean he'll incorporate them into his plan.

    Background: Connor isn't a trained soldier, in it for the money, or looking to make a name for himself. The training he got was after he had a Core implanted and his Armor given to him. And the only reason he might be remembered in the history books is because he was one of the first to go under the knife and get a Core installed. No, the reason he joined was because of his patriotism for his planet.

    Think about it. If the Asrai wins, then it's no longer a human planet, if there are any humans left. It would become an Asrai planet. Even if it didn't become an Asrai planet, it certainly wouldn't be a human planet. And if he wasn't going to go out and fight, then it would be others of his planet that would pay the price to remain independent and show the universe that humanity wasn't some backwater species that didn't know up from down.

    Reason for volunteering: Connor volunteered because his country needed him to. If he wasn't going to volunteer to fight on the front lines, then who else would?

    Armor class: M3 Grant Medium. A large and somewhat cumbersome gun is supplemented with a smaller, but more easily handled gun.

    Misc: Connor has the most experience when it comes to fighting in Armor.
    Du'Kah

    DuKah_zpszq6rmv9d.jpg


    The Asrai towers above most humans at 6'5", with a purple sheen to his skin that suggest perhaps he is young for his species, but nowhere near as young as say some of the Skinks there are. Some have remarked he looks like a big space dinosaur. He chooses to wear his kind's armor, as some kind of self expression, and symbol of his goals and reasons. His armor even covers his tail, a tail plate if you will. Du'Kah is well built and seems to be hardened for battle.

    Age: Older than a Human *Child
    *Child - Teenager, Du'Kah got confused with the conversation about "baby human" "child human" "teenager human" and "adult human". Humans are just Humans to him and that seems like a lot of complications for one species. But then again Du'Kah species only has three stages, a Hatchling, an Adolescent, then an Adult. But where that falls in the human range Du'Kah has no idea.

    Gender: Male

    Sexuality what? Du'Kah not sure about this human concept either. He mates with a female, but that's because it's an instinct, not a choice. Humans choose? Hrrr. Du'Kah has to think about this one.

    ROV:
    Because my species grew greedy. They believe themselves superior to the humans and humans are weak fleshy things. We believe in honor, but beating the week there is no honor in that. If you already know you can beat the creature, than it is not a victory. I will fight alongside frail Humans, to take down leaders of my own kind and become new leader of my kind.

    Personality:
    Du'Kah is not what you expect from the Asrai, then again humans have only seen the Asrai on the battlefield and they seem to be just pissed off space lizards. But Du'Kah seems to betray this view. Or really betrays what Humans have known from them.

    He is brave and loyal, and seems to honor strength just as his own species does. But what Du'Kah speaks of them. He seems to see more reason, and logic as well. Taking in great lengths to listen and think and come up with reasonable considerations.,

    Which is what lead Du'Kah to where he is right now. Allying with the humans because his species seemed weak to him. Du'Kah philosophy believes, "if you see a bug on the ground, and squish that bug. Have you conquered it? Have you seen some kind of victory over that bug? No. Because the bug was not strong enough to battle you in the first place." He believes you must seek strong enemies and withdraw from the ones you know could not arm against you.

    Despite him seeing the Humans war against his kind as futile. He will try to win the war with the Humans. To prove he is stronger than his leader. And perhaps change the course of his kind. So maybe Du'Kah's a little rebellious too and thinks outside of the box.

    Armor Class: Asrai Armor - Du'Kah's personal armor is one that is a medium and light armor. To a Human the armor is a lot heavier than what it is to Du'Kah. For Du'Kah his armor is lightweight and makes it easy for him to move on the battlefield with his personal blade. His armor is a source of honor and he wants to wear it when they defeat his kind and he stands atop.

    History:
    Du'Kah is not the sharpest crayon in the crayola box, but then again that's limited from human perspective. To the humans Du'Kah might appear well stupid in human standards. But to his people, the low high ranked Du'Kah was smart, praised for his tactical thinking.

    Those who do follow him, of his kind, praised Du'Kah for being one of the smartest they have. Though if Du'Kah is there measure of intelligence, some humans are rolling their eyes. How are they getting their asses beat by these creatures again?

    It was that intelligence that led Du'Kah to his current plan. Du'Kah finds the war against the Humans needless. He feels no honor in this war, and he feels no pride in his people. He doesn't feel strong. Du'Kah strives on finding a good fight. Something that makes his blood boil and the fight worth while. For a long time the Humans were losing to them, till their technology adapted and yet even that doesn't keep his kind at bay for long.

    Something about their resilience called him. Which brings up the current plan Du'Kah has hatched. One that requires him to get captured, and seek alliance with the humans. If the Humans win the war, perhaps with his help, he can overthrow his current leaders, then Du'Kah can become the new leader of his kind and seek better wars.

It might take me a while ,but I'll go ahead and try to cook up a character. Hopefully it's OK if I don't know my tanks, as far as name conventions for Armors go.
 
Iron Crusaders no helmet.jpg Iron Crusaders, helmet on.jpg
Name: Kye "Hotshot" Renith
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: He is a supportive yet cocky bastard like sniper. Kye is a mysterious man and not many know what are his intentions most of the time.
Background: Grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, his dad was in the military as a Lieutenant while his mother was a scientist. They had money but hardly had time together so Kye wasn't very close to his parents when at a young age. Due to this he grew to be independent, teaching himself to do many things on his own. When he was 20 his dad died due to a surprise attack on their base by an unknown enemy, after his mother was dead soon as well due to another attack on her lab, it remains a mystery till this day what or who attacked the base or his mother's lab. Kye was pretty sad and actually went through some depression around a year or so but got over it with some therapy and pills to help him with it. Fast forward to now at 25 years old, he is a professional sharpshooter with a sniper at hand who has practiced shooting one over the years which is where he got the nickname Hotshot. Asrai at war with the different countries , how could he not hear about it? Knowing the world needed him, he decided to join but not to safe humanity but just make these aliens pay for invading Earth.
Reason for volunteering: "I volunteered because I am not myself anymore. I am an asset of war now."
Armor Class: M551 Sheridan SPG Sniper
Misc: Works under the US.
 
There are some silly grammar issues.
Knowing the world needed him, he decided to join but [BCOLOR=#ffff00]not to safe humanity[/BCOLOR] but just make these aliens pay for invading Earth.
What I highlighted is an example, it'd be 'save' instead of 'safe'. And somethings are kind of repetative. He's a sharpshooter, so it'd make sense that he has practice with his sniper rifle. And one last thing, it doesn't really get into why he volunteered and how he felt after having an alien object implanted in the back of his neck that's used to power the Armor he's now the owner of.

So fix the grammar and expand on what happened after the Core has been implanted and then it'll be all good.
 
@Beowulf Ay, sorry bout that! I was kind of rushing it a bit when typing so will fix both these issues.

Name: Evlyn 'Little Evie' of the Ivory Wolf clan
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual(but don't get your hopes up, her clan believes in arranged marriages)
Personality:
Curious - Evlyn's clan doesn't believe in the use of tech, or many modern things. As such, she is extremely curious about many modern things.
Obedient - Evlyn was raised to listen to her betters. As such she will listen to most orders given to her, even if she finds them to be immoral
Honest - Evlyn finds it hard to lie, and usually if she is lying, it's easy to detect, as she will avoid eye contact and fiddle with her hair.
Single-minded - If Evlyn get's something into her head, it tends to be all she can focus on. Especially if it has to do with trying a new food, or playing a new game.
Arrogant - Evlyn highly believes in her own abilities, to the point that she would prove them to anyone who mocked them(or, she would at least try)
Naive - Evlyn doesn't know much about the modern world, as her village was secluded, and as such she is easily manipulated into doing things if one simply tells her "so-and-so is common".
Background: Evlyn was born into a warrior village. They believed training and fighting to be everything. Her clan specifically trained in the way of the ninja, striking from the shadows and defeating their opponents with whatever means possible. Evlyn was the daughter of one of the clan's best warrior's, of course this meant they had high expectations for her. Since she was old enough to stand on her own she was trained in the ways of battle, from the most basics of fighting, to crafting smoke bombs on the go. She wasn't the fastest learner, but she excelled in what she did learn. When her clan heard of the aliens they thought of the glory that would come from helping defend against the invasion, thus they sent Evlyn to 'volunteer' for the Iron Crusader project.
Reason for volunteering: Evlyn didn't volunteer of her own volition, her clan's elder volunteered her to bring glory and honor to the clan.(they lied about her age)
Armor class: PL-01 Light class, Recon/Scout. Evlyn's armor is designed for stealth above all else. It has enough firepower for her to fight from the shadows, but in terms of defense she wouldn't last long in a direct fight.
Misc: Evlyn is skilled in the ways of the ninja, she can beat most combatants in close quarter combat by simply using her ninja skills. She can also use these skills to fend off Asrai if for some reason she is lacking her armor, she can't kill them, but a smoke bomb to any creatures face makes a most effective escape tactic.

Personality: Billy is the sort of man you want by your side if the chips are down. Steadfast and charismatic, he always tries to do the right thing. Enjoys being in the spotlight, and always makes sure those who deserve it get a little taste. Has a very Team Dad mentality.

Background: If it wasn't obvious, he was raised on a farm tending to animals and crops. Being the youngest of 12, Billy grew up strong and had tenacity to do just about anything he put his mind it. Doing well in football and studies, his family pushed him to seek higher education and when it came right down to it, the military was the final landing spot.

Very early, he had volunteered to become an Iron Crusader. Billy wanted to be put onto the frontline and clear the way for his team, much like he did in highschool. Now, he takes great pride in his new job, and plans on being an intregal part of punting this bastards off his planet.

Reason for volunteering: He always wanted to do something great with his life. Blowing shit up for your country seems good enough for him.

(hope its satisfactory)

When things got hairy, he had volunteered to become an Iron Crusader. Billy wanted to be put onto the frontline and clear the way for his team, much like he did in highschool. Now, he takes great pride in his job, and enjoys taking those newbies under his wing and showing them the ins and outs and putting big holes in enemy forces

There's a bit of a weird spot in there that I highlighted. And at the beginning of this rp, he'd have maybe one mission under his belt and slightly more training. Armor class, I've never heard of a tank called an M75 Boomer. I don't know where it's from, I wrote in the countries and what they focused on for a reason. If you need help finding something, give me a shout and I can help.
 
Oh I just misunderstood CS it seems. I thought we were supposed to make up a name. Sorry. XD
 
Alright, made some changes. Anything else, you lemme know!
 
And changed his name to something from WW2 so hopefully that old enough. =D
 
I was just about to say that an Abrams wouldn't be appropriate for an spg, more of a medium tank if you ask me. But I'm going to say the slugger doesn't fit because it has rather thin armor, and Destroyers have thick armor. I'm going to post a link to the wiki article on the M7 Priest which I think would fit better into it.

M7 Priest - Wikipedia

I'm going to keep saying this so people don't forget, I'm willing to talk things out and make compromise. So don't think I'm being a prick when I don't say I don't like something and suggest something else.
