Gentle Shine

Mecha, Fighter, Ship; you name it, and Gentle Shine has more than likely piloted it. Always seems to be wearing a blue and silver flight suit, complete with an intricate helmet that veils his features.

Description

Image

Colonel Shine has rarely been seen outside of his full combat jumpsuit and flight helmet, obscuring his features beyond what a casual observation would tell about his physique. He is roughly six foot six, and of middling weight. His muscle mass is fair, considering his primary duties as a pilot.

Further records on Colonel Shine's appearance remain classified at this time.

The CS-27 combat jumpsuit is a marvel of engineering, being one of few issued to military forces. He does not use the standard colors, opting instead for silver in general, with blue markings and stripes here and there. The suit also has a slight camouflage function, allowing the user to modify the color and texture over a matter of minutes. It is entirely airtight with an oxygen supply capable of lasting up to twelve hours, or further extended periods if the subject is put into stasis. Small jets placed on crucial areas of the suit also allow for enhanced mobility in vacuum, the life of which is a maximum of two hours, but can be recharged. In addition, the suit is made of an enhanced polymer that allows a small amount of protection from bullets, but proves sufficient in deflecting most small debris in vacuum. The suit has a number of pockets, slots, and assorted clips to hold smaller objects; two larger pockets on the thighs, a utility belt with ten small pouches and five magazine clips (Interchangeable to allow for more clips/more pouches).

The helmet of the CS-27 also has a number of capabilities. The shaded visor and HUD, and the Antenna which protrudes about an inch away from the back of the head being the most prominent. The helmet has a number of vision modes as well- Night vision, telescopic sights, heat vision, and a few others for miscellaneous tasks.. A voice modulator is also included in the helmet, allowing the subject to change their voice at will. A filtration system is included in the helmet for a steady supply of clean oxygen, which automatically closes if the suit detects radiation, toxins, etc. and reverts to the internal oxygen supplies. Flood lamps are included, in addition to several other small additions such as a detachable snake camera (One hour battery life if detached), radio system, sensory equipment with wind direction/speed monitor, and up-links compatible with most standard weapons and equipment of the EDN and affiliated groups. Similarly to the changing colors of the suit, the visor can change color, externally and internally.

Squad Leader of The Al'Kaera Squadron.

Personality

Colonel Shine has proven to be a competent leader in the field, aside from his reported banter between squadmates- and hostile forces as well. When dealing with superiors he alternates between complete solemnity and flippancy, earning him some manner of contempt. He treats those of lesser rank with a fair amount of respect, encouraging or reprimanding them as he deems the situation warrants. He is deemed calm under pressure, and has proven able to live up to his expectations.

His actions outside of combat could be described as lax at best, taken to social drinking and an interest in women. He seems able to find his way into most social groups when he feels the interest, which has proven both helpful and detrimental to previous operations. Aside from his usually public appearances, time spent on leave remains largely unknown.

Equipment

Colonel Shine has the following immediately on his person;
In addition to the standard Jumpsuit, he has on his combat belt either the I-02 Laser Pistol, or an HK UCP, depending on where his current assignment will take him. This resides on the right of his belt. He also has three combat knives, all of which are hidden in various small pouches that a discerning eye might spot. One is on his left thigh, another on his left breast, and the third, a smaller utility knife, in an internal pouch of his left arm. In heavy combat scenarios he will carry the J-09 Laser Rifle, complete with a sling to be carried on his back, or an HK G36KE, again depending on the locale of his mission.

Non-combat equipment is fairly limited, as far as what he is always carrying. These are two flasks (one reportedly mead, the other bourbon), one water canteen, and two notebooks of unknown use. All of these reside someplace on his belt, with the exception of the mead and one of the notebooks, which are kept in the leg pouches.

In addition, on long journeys, he will carry a combat pack with supplies to last him roughly a month.

History

Records of the so-called 'Gentle Shine', and that of his Al'Kaera Squadron is shrouded in mystery. A man enlisting in the Navy by the name of Valiren Braezan found himself climbing quickly through the ranks until, less than a year later, he was in command of his own squadron.

No civilian records of this so-called Valiren exist, and it is obviously an alias. His reluctance to part ways with his issued combat suit, even when in the presence of superior officers and likewise when on leave is suspicious, to say the least.

What little is known of Valiren outside of his military record suggests that he has no family, and few friends. Every so often our agents will notice him encountering certain recurring individuals, but conversations are always brief and uninteresting. It is speculated that Valiren is a foreign spy, however no solid evidence has been found of his searching for or obtaining records or information of any kind.

He is an unknown, and the unknown is reputedly dangerous. A close eye must be kept on him at all times.

Gentle Shine remaining silent, he looks over the (comparatively) small tank, its would-be target, and the man from earlier egging it on. He rubs the chin of his helmet in interest.

Gentle Shine was still looking over the tank attentively, somewhat familiar with the optical equipment, and aware enough at least that from his position he could be seen, if it cared to see him. He was likewise paying attention to its speaking, and eventually opts to walk closer, risking himself next to Rage.

Gentle Shine finally speaks to the tank, after observing it closely for a few minutes. "You're not a model I'm familiar with. Fuchikoma of some kind, yes?"

Gentle Shine nods in response, tapping the floodlight and then the machine-gun, albeit more cautiously. "Yes, I don't recognize these. You're definitely an older model, though that's not a bad thing," he adds encouragingly.

Gentle Shine looks toward the front door. While he could have sworn it was intact when he walked in some hours ago, he shrugs as he looks back at the tank. "Yeah, that does sound pretty fun. Do you have a garage or mechanic or anything like that?"

Gentle Shine nods understandingly, tapping his helmet chin in thought. "Yes, that would be a good reason to want to escape prosecution. Y'know, I've got something akin to diplomatic immunity, if you want to take up with my squadron. I've got some mechanical know-how if you need repairs, too, though under the circumstances I'll respect if you want me to stay away in that regard." After making his offer, he takes a drink from his thus far idle flask.

Gentle Shine shrugs a bit as he leans back in his chair, sipping for a moment as he registers all that the machine said in reply to him. "Well, you gotta do what you gotta do. You were built to be sentient and learn, what's to stop you from deciding you don't want to cease functioning?" He lets this sink in for a moment as he takes another sip. "I want to help you 'cause you're an excellent piece of engineering, and recycling your parts without keeping your sentience would be a damned shame."

Gentle Shine sets his flask down, knowing- even though the tank didn't really have a 'heart', that the heartfelt thanks was earnest. "Sure thing. I won't mess with your parts unless you want me to. I've got a few constructs of my own, they're the closest things I have to kids. I wouldn't dare erase such a things existence." He offers a hand to the tank. "You can call me Gentle Shine."

Gentle Shine chuckles in response, shaking the brittle looking appendage gently in a 'handshake.' "Silly it is then, until we find you something more fitting." He takes a pendant from one of his pouches- a blue angelic creature with silver wings and a long, dark blade. "Go ahead and take this in lieu of any official papers. It's my insignia, so if you stick that on yourself I don't think the authorities will bother you. Do you happen to have any internal GPS or mapping systems?"

'Well, that's something we'll have to look into. As it stands, I have some other business to attend, but I was going to give you directions to my Squadron hangar. If you want I can take you there before I go on to my other duties though.'

Gentle Shine leads the tank out through the door, much more carefully executed than the hasty entrance earlier to prevent further damage. The two of them disappear into the night, going to wherever Shine's hangar was located.

Gentle Shine strides into the bar whistling a tune idly, switching his visor from black to a more neutral orange. He peers around the place, namely seeing if anyone he knew was about- or if at least a bartender was present today- before making his way out of the entrance and standing at the wall to better browse the attendance for the afternoon.

Gentle Shine taps the chin of his helmet, eventually deciding to saunter on over to the bar, seeing as someone seemed to be tending it. He looks around the rest of the room as he walks, noticing a number of distinct figures who may or may not try to kill him at some point. With an internal shrug, he leans on the counter and taps it. "'Scuse me, Bartender."

Gentle Shine grins behind his helmet, bowing with a flourish. "You can call me Gentle Shine. I usually blow through here when I'm on leave, since there's always a pretty face or two somewhere." He rights himself, placing two of his fingers over where his mouth would be and making a 'kiss' noise before reaching to place them on her hand. "Thanks for the drink, by the way," he adds, reaching for a glass with his other hand.
