BASIC INFORMATION

Name: Granite Forge
Rank: Pilot Noble; Squad Leader of the Travica Titans
Gender: Male
Age: 72
Height: 6’ 8”
Weight: 312 lbs
Race: Kulshedra
Residence: Travica, Aedolis
Dragon: Lorna; Female



PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Granite is a large Kulshedra male; tall, muscular, with long, powerful limbs. His scales are a somewhat drab medium grey, but flecks of onyx black scales break the monotone color. Like all Kulshedra these scales cover his throat to his chest, arch over his cheeks and lightly frame his eyes, which are a deep red color. The slightly speckled pattern extends to all the patches of scales that extend down his body, all the way to his clawed fingers and toes. A cluster of black scales rests at the base of his throat and is commonly referred to as a ‘gem’ when described.

Black hair is kept in an undercut, with the top being left quite long. Depending on the day his hair could be done into little braids or pulled back in a ponytail or bun. As a Kulshedra he’s got long, pointy ears covered in scales. What skin isn’t covered by scales is a rich, golden bronze.

As typical of males, his cheeks have splits that allow him to open his mouth very widely, his jaw appearing to almost unhinge to allow him to bite large chunks out of big prey. Although biting chunks out of prey was mostly a useful ability in the past, now his weird jaw just gets odd looks and is used to entertain people he likes with party tricks. Granite has some scars littering his body, after so many years as a soldier it is to be expected. There are two puckered bullet wounds, one in his right shoulder and the other in his lower left abdomen. In his left ear there is a small wedge missing about halfway back.

Given his rather unique physique, Granite’s clothes are generally custom ordered; at least the pants and boots, because of his thick, powerful tail and strange, clawed digitigrade feet. They are very big feet. Most of him is pretty big, but the feet are probably the biggest offenders.



PERSONALITY

Loyal and dedicated, Granite takes things very seriously, and nothing more so than his job – which is to protect Aedolis. Sure every squad has their own specializations and are designed to defend their great nation, but the Titans are supposed to be the line of defense. He would gladly give his life to save others, so he is also self-sacrificing.

While very proficient with battle tactics, operating and maintaining his MARB, and other such military intelligence, Granite can be quite dense. If he doesn’t consider something practical or useful to know, he doesn’t tend to bother memorizing it.

Ultimately a creature of instincts, he has a tendency to let his primal side show. Granite is also naturally blunt and straightforward. He doesn’t lie because it honestly just doesn’t occur to him to do so.

-Has a surprisingly artistic side in the form of creating scrap metal sculptures, which are auctioned by PR. The proceeds are donated to the families of military personnel who are killed in the line of duty.



PSIONICS

Telepathy- Granite is an adequate telepath. He can communicate fluidly with fellow Pilot at a reasonable range, but is not particularly skilled at any more specialized form of this ability.


Pyrokinesis- Granite is a pyro powerhouse; all explosive power and no finesse.



BACKSTORY

Born and raised in Pyre Town, the cultural settlement of Kulshedra within Haviah. Granite was drafted to the ATC at age 15 when psionic abilities manifested within him. Despite some hang-ups with the academic portion of Stage 2, he was able to complete the program by age 26.

For a very long time he was simply a CO, and he fought in the war with Edanith as such, until the MARBs were dispatched near the end of the conflict. They put him in a MARB and the Kulshedra hasn’t looked back since. While he loved more direct engagement, the sheer firepower placed at his fingertips was too seductive to pass up.

For now he has been placed in the position of Squad Leader for the Travica Titans, under Commander Gregor Volk.



DRAGON

Name: Lorna
Gender: Female

Appearance:

A hulking, spiked behemoth of black and red scales. Her spikes and spine are all mechanized.

Personality:

Aggressive and enjoys the predatory nature of her Pilot’s species.
