Name: Sojobo
Gender: Male
Age: 120 (human years, mentally about 18-19)
Race: Tengu
Description:
Personality: Very arrogant, and very proud, believes he can do almost nothing wrong. Can be diplomatic, to a point, as long as it concerns him and his interests. Holds his piloting skills as the best of the best, but is above average truthfully.
Traits(2): Arrogance: Arrogance can be one of the worst traits in the world, but it can be great for a king and a pilot. He believes nothing can stop him, and follows through with everything he tries, taking rather life threatening risks to just prove his power. Of course, with the pluses, is the obvious setbacks of being arrogant. Being disliked, and branded as such will be commonplace with Sojobo.
Great Multi-tasking: Being the king, he has to think about many things at once, splitting his attention on several topics at once, and on the battlefield, it is no different. He's able to battle several opponents at once, making tactical situations at several people at once. Unfortunately, this means he has trouble focusing on one enemy for long periods of time, and has trouble focusing for long periods of time.
Equipment: His ancestral garb (shown in the picture), Shard of the King (shown dangling from his left hand, but is usually draped around neck), Wakazashi of The King (sword made with unknown metal on his planet, never dulls, and is a bright red steel)
Background: On a planet not too far away from Kenston only a few days light speed travel, lived a small population of about 1 million people who have no name. However, they are in the same shape and likeness of the mythical Tengu from Japanese mythology, characterized by long noses, red skin, white hair, and the ability to fly. Coincidentally, the people live only in mountains, much like the mythos.
Sojobo was born into the royal family, and lived a life of royal pampering, the typical royal life. He began to have a feeling of noble superiority, touting his family blood to anyone who would listen, as he soon ascended to the throne, in the Trial of Kings. All of the prospective kings get into an arena, and fight to the death. Whoever is left is crowned the king. His sword that was used in battle is then coated in their steel that is exclusively found on their planet, said to never dull. He ruled for 50 Kenston years, making his planet prosperous but very profitable, but due mostly to the old king. In truth, he was not a great king, but only a good decision maker. Everything else that required poise and civility suffered. The people were happy, however.
The first human contact the Tengu's had was an emissary of Kenston, during Sojobo's 10th year of ruling. They informed them of their existence, their location, which dumbfounded the Tengu's at the time, and that they weren't alone in the universe. They wrote it off as just some spirit causing trouble, paying not much heed.
In Sojobo's 15th year of ruling, a unknown mech crash landed onto the planet, near the capitol city. Sojobo was the first one brave enough to search the mech, and found a dead human pilot in the mech. His people had never seen this kind of technology, and didn't know what to do with it. Sojobo ordered a hangar be built, and to research the mech as much as possible. Around his 50th year of ruling, they had learned how to control it, make one, and repair it. Of course, Sojobo knew all the details, and was chosen to be the first Tengu as they would soon be called, to venture to space.
They found on the mech a return to base function that would turn the automatic pilot to return to it's place of deployment, which happened to be Kenston. They understood that the man many years before was not lying, and they decided to use the function to make contact with the humans, as they did long ago. Sojobo set about his task to make contact with Kenston and the humans.
Machine Bio
Name: Ebony Judgment
Type: Mecha
Description:
Weapons: Plasma Flamethrower (Left Hand): This is a short range, but incredibly powerful and high temperature flamethrower, hot enough to turn into the element plasma, able to burn through unrefined mechs and other metals in a matter of seconds, severely damaging whatever it touches. It can, if done correctly, cook a pilot inside their own mech, overheat the boosters and cause an internal explosion, as well as many other crippling reactions if kept on the mech for long periods of time. However, it takes a few seconds to start up, and the range is only a few hundred meters, which is well within regular firing range. Used only as a close range for smaller enemies. It can also be used as a club for melee combat.
Hi-Power Plasma Rifle (Right Hand): This is a mid-long range rifle, with charge and rapid fire capabilities. This weapon is capable of hitting a target 5 meters wide from several thousand miles once charged to max. It also has a rapid fire capability, from about a thousand meters or so, giving it a good mid range fire. It is, as with the flamethrower, plasma weaponry, giving it a good armor piercing element.
Hi-Speed Pursuit Missiles (Back Right Shoulder): The four struts on his back are used to prep hi speed missiles that lock on to the central power source of the mech being targeted. Some special kinds of energy sources may be immune to the missiles tracking (like Archy's mecha). The missiles themselves are high penetration, piercing, pursuit missiles, meant to infiltrate the outer armor, lodge itself into the main power core, and detonate from it's explosive warhead. It only has a few dozen missiles as ammo, and it's tracking can be easily lost in a sea of mechs, hitting unwanted targets.
Extras:
Plasma Core: Through several technologies, including fission and fusion, a plasma energy core is contained inside the Ebony Judgment, containing almost an infinite amount of energy, high heat, and highly dangerous if the core is torn apart. Fortunately, the core is protected by the famous Tengu steel, which has incredibly high heat capacity and very strong.
Melee Weapons and Armor: When the mecha crash landed on the Tengu planet, it was badly damaged, the weapons broken, and the body damaged as well. The Tengu's replaced the missing and broken pieces with the famous Tengu steel, allowing the armor to have incredible heat capacity and strength, as well as the weapons. The weapons are strong enough to use as clubs and melee weapons without too much damage to the internal workings. This goes for the legs and chest as well.
Melee Proficiency: The Tengu King is, and has always been, trained in martial arts and weapon use. This has carried over to his mech training, having been self taught. They got the mech working before the weapons, and Sojobo trained in the mech as a martial arts regiment. He knows how to kick, punch, grab and smash with the mech, making him a more dangerous threat close range.
Plasma Boosters: Standard run of the mill boosters, nothing special.
