@everyone I do have a discord server set up. Link is in the first post. If you have any questions I will nine times out of ten answer them faster on discord then here on iwaku, depends on if I'm in class or not at the time.
 
A slight oversight on my part has been brought up.

I was asked the question of whether or not the weapons are what you'd find on a tank? Or are the more like the RWBY style of weapons. If you don't know what I mean by that, name the first melee weapon you can think of and then add this phrase on to the end. "It's also a gun."

I couldn't decide which one it was, so I'm going to leave it up to all of you to decide this for me. So say what you want, I'll record who says what, and then we'll have our answer.
 
Well, you know my opinion on the matter. =^.^=
 
Good luck guys, but I won't be joining. Can't think up a good enough char for this.
 
But...the RWBY approach of "also a gun" breaks down if you START with a gun.

As discussed in Discord, I'd probably go nuts with a pile bunker or something if i went that route. No reason to really rule anything out if it's used in an entertaining manner. Unless it starts becoming too silly and that is not what is desired. But that's up to the GM to stop us from going completely mad.

Nonsense. Ever hear of a shotgun attachment on a assault rifle?

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.​

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.

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.

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.

Slight adjustment, if she has gone on any mission, its not going to be many. Two or three at most. But I don't think it'll have a direct effect to your character sheet. Accepted.

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.
