((Sorry, I wasn't around here in the day so I missed all of the first battle. Grarg.. I'm going to backtrack a little for my own context and end my post up in the same timeframe as you are all in.))
Profile for my mecha~
Name: Alongside Strong (AKA, The Counselor; affectionately re-named by the others in Nolan Xanderspade's wing.)
Pilot: Nolan Xanderspade
Weapons: Two hidden concussion missile chambers containing three missiles each, 2 plasma cannons that periscope out over the shoulders, and six highpowered laser emittors (plasma cannons and laser emittors periscope out all together and give the Counselor a vague arachnid-like appearance), a charged-shell pistol, a long gauntlet blade, and a powered vibro-masamune sword.
Description and abilities: (Picture attached. Picture is in armour-phase mode.) Black and silver with a large spade painted on the back with the name "Nolan Xanderspade" scrawed in small letters in the middle, directly under the name "Alongside Strong", which is listed there. It also features a small black spade ont he hull for each of its own kills and half of a spade for each assist-kill. Has phasing armour that helps deflect some energy weapons and blocks out most forms of detection such as radar. Phasing armour also sucks in light in space, causing the Counselor to be nearly impossible to see when it is not using any light-emitting weaponry. The Counselor also features boot and back jets to allow it to fly, though it is much more swift in space than in the air. It doesn't have mutlple forms, but it does rearrange part of its armour to become more aerodynamic during free flight.
Nolan watches the image of Bhaal floating above the holoprojector in the briefing area of the hangar. As Bhaal finishes and the image of him dimms and collapses into nothing, the commander of this wing shouts for everyone to head to their dolls. A briefing was given just before Bhaal's speech. Nolan had been given command of 4 automated dolls. Though he is only an officer, this is a more elite wing, which warrants more autmated doll support. Also, the wing commander was quite aware of the battle integrity of Nolan Xanderspade's doll.
Nolan assigns two of the dolls to cover him when he has not assigned them a different order. The other two he assigns to be the wing of the two superior dolls. He also programs in that in the event of one of the superior dolls getting destroyed, that doll's wing is to assume the superior doll's role.
During the course of the battle, one of the automated dolls is destroyed and its lesser, covering wingmate doll is heavily damaged. When the battle subsides and the invading forces stop attacking to regroup and restrategize, I follow those who are headed back to base so that I can get my damaged doll fixed, if possible, as well as examine any damage that might have happened do my precious Alongside Strong. I feel queesily anxious to return, however, as I have succeeded in losing one of the highly expensive dolls and heavily damaging another during the battle. Hopefully my small group's collective 26 kills would be enough curb my commanding officer's disappointment in me.
I'd hate to lose my wingmechs. The battle has been a lot of fun thus far, after all.
((by the way, for in the midsts of battles, it might be beneficial if we all post something at the beginning or end of every one of our posts or put it in or sig or something. Something like~
Name: Nolan Xanderspade
Alliance: Brahe
Doll: The Counselor
Just so we know who's who and stuff. I'm going to put mine in my sig.))
