Name: Nicolas Sorensen
Age: 28
Faction: Unbroken Annex
Appearance: Nicolas is 6'2 and weight around 200 pounds. He is well muscled and has a tan from being stationed in the South American area of the Annex. He has green eyes and short dark brown hair. He has s small scar across his forehead from a training accident. His facial structure resembles his fathers, but he has his mother's dark brown hair.
Bio: Nicolas is the youngest of three children born into the Sorensen family; a family with a long line of public service. Nicolas's father was a career general in the Annex military for many years. After being retiring from the military, Nicolas's father James served successfully for two terms in the Annex senate and went on to become elected 9th president of the Unbroken Annex. James always instilled in Nicolas a sense of public duty and honor, and reminded him to put others before himself.
Nicolas enlisted in a youth military program when he was sixteen wishing to serve his country and to make his father proud. Sadly on March 19 2152, President James Sorensen was shot by a Brazilian nationalist while giving a speech at a rally in San Palo.
His father's death greatly affected Nicolas. Nicolas became more cynical about life and while he still retained his unshakable conviction to public service, he is more apprehensive about the public he serves. His father's assassination also left him with a strong dislike of the Brazilians within the Annex.
Nicolas rapidly advanced within the military, achieving the rank of lieutenant when he was twenty two. Some grumbled that he was only advancing because he was the son of a president; however Nicholas maintained an excellent track record, achieving top marks on his military aptitude test and his exceptional skills as a mech pilot. In the battlefield, Nicolas coordinates with and relies on teamwork with others to get the job done, however in his personal life, Nicholas tends to be a loner and tries not to lean on anyone for support. He had even refused secret service protection after his father's assassination.
Mech name: Gryphon
Mech Design: Gryphon stands at five meters tall, with a black matte paint color and a silver trim. Gryphon's design gives it two arms and two hands which allows it to grasp and manipulate objects to a certain degree. Gryphon is rather Spartan with weapons however, it only has a shoulder mounted rocket launcher with three shots and a large handheld chain gun with an explosive ammunition belt feed to connects to a medium sized store of ammunition hosed deep within the mech. However, Gryphon tends to burn through the ammunition rather rapidly and about tfourty seconds of sustained fire will deplete the ammunition store. The mech also features heavy amour around the torso and cockpit, as well as on the forearms for protection against melee weapons, however it is more lightly armored everywhere else. This makes Gryphon a little slower, but still allows for rapid short movements, such as if an opposing mech attacks with a close quarter melee weapon or doging a slower attack.
