DESCRIPTION

Physical Description: Jeremiah has long, black hair, tied into a ponytail. He has soft, green eyes, and has a rather angular head shape. His build is rather slim, but is also rather acrobatic and flexible.

Outside his mech, he wears a brown leather coat, along with a black t-shirt and jeans. He wears a small, blue bracelet that allows him to speak with Aphrodite from long distances.

Personality: Jeremiah is headstrong and strong-willed. He can be optimistic most of the time, and is also rather laid back. During battle, he is confident in his abilities, and is always looking for a good fight. However, his flaws are that he can be rather impatient, and gets bored quickly. He can also be overconfident when battling, which can get him into huge trouble.

Capabilities: His mech uses an assault rifle and a semi-automatic rifle in each hand as primaries, with a pair of scatter missile launchers in the back. The mech, called the Nova, is a lightweight model, with a very high speed output. It has good defensive capabilities, but the high speed makes it hard to maneuver without proper training.

Outside the mech, Jerry uses an assault rifle as his main form of attack, with a pistol as his back up.

Relationships: Aphrodite: A.I. friend
Family: Mother: Liara Valden, Knight (deceased)
Father: Jacob Valden, Knight (deceased)
Older Sister: Miranda Valden (Jerry thinks she died; she was actually made into an A.I. called Aphrodite)

History:

Jeremiah was born on Edani, with only his father and sister living with him. His mother had died during one of her missions as a Knight of Libra. There had been a core malfunction, leading to her mech's explosion. Jerry's childhood consisted of him and his sister taking care of his father, who, after his mother's death, became an alcoholic. every night, he and his sis would make food for him, watch over him, and would stand by him and cheer him up if he got down. As he got older, his father eventually started to get better, and decided to teach him lessons on using his mech, the Nova. That's what his life was, until one day his sister disappeared.

It had been during the day, and she hadn't come back from her work. Desperate to find her, the 19-year-old Jeremiah quickly left his sober father home, leaving a small note about where he was going. Doing this every night, he had found no progress, until he had been knocked unconscious by a hooded man. Waking up in a small, metal room, he was met with a group of scientists, with different pieces of unknown technology in the room. The scientists were a small group who were experimenting on different things illegally. Only told that they were going to do something "very important to them", he was strapped to a metal chair and watched as the group pulled out different pieces of equipment to use on him. However, before they could start, an alarm rang out through the lab. His father came into the room, holding his assault rifle in his hands. taking out the scientists in the room, he unstrapped him from the chair and started to get him out. His father informed him that he had been watching him leave every night to look for miranda, and couldnt help but follow him. He had watched him get kidnapped by the pair, and had followed them to their hideout, using the Nova.

As they made their escape, Jerry came across a room, guarded by armed men working for the people there. Still set on saving his sister, he and his dad knocked them out, only to find a small box that read 'Aphrodite". Taking the box with them, the two of them tried to get out of the hidden facility, only for the exitdoor to shut on them and the leading scientist, along with some of the guards there, to block them off. Handing him his rifle, his father told him to find another way out, while he held them off. Quickly climbing into a nearby vent, he found a way out of the facility and watched from a window as his father got gunned down by the guards. Pushing away his thoughts of sadness, he ran over to his father's, now his mech, and hopped in. Remembering his training with the mech, he started up the Nova and ran as far as he could. Once he got to a safe place, he decided to look inside the box, which contained a small bracelet and a chip. Thinking that it would be some sort of memory or video chip, he inserted it into the cockpit. Instead, he was met with a female AI by the name of Aphrodite. Not knowing that Aphrodite was in fact her sister turned into an AI, the pair became quick friends. Not having anyone else to be with, he became a hired mercenary, wandering the different planets and galaxies.

APHRODITE


Description:Aphrodite, or Aphro, is an A.I. who lives inside of Jerry's mech. She is the one who controls the targeting systems, radar, etc in the mech, and can be very helpful at times. Her personality is mostly playful and optimistic. However, when she's under pressure, she has a hard time keeping her cool, and can snap easily.
Aphrodite used to be Jerry's sister, Miranda, but then her consciousness had been turned into an A.I. Due to this, she had forgotten her memories as Miranda.
