Alrighty boys and girls, get ready for a whole lotta' text, and a whole lotta' robot once you see this guy's Mech on its ref page! (Yes I know, "Another RP group Ruby?" But at this point, I'm willing to wager that this isn't going to die down any time soon, so expect to keep seeing ref sheets haha!

----------------------------

Name: Natch Herbert (pronounced A-BEAR) aka "Rabbit" by his friends back home considering his bizarre helmet

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Human

Personality: Natch is a man of his own quirks, but useful never the less. He refuses to remove any of his attire unless absolutely necessary or if no one's around, and he often spends plenty of time with himself should no one be looking for him. Overall, he is quite open and welcoming to anyone who shows any interest in him, and he's quick to tell them all about his Sidewinder in light of its outdated power source. This being said, Natch is quite protective of his mech, not to the point of keeping it locked away in storage, but rather attacks any ill-claims against it.

Nationality: A.T.E.

Birthday: August 16th

Class: Pilot

Brigade: None as of now, but hoping for Battle Angels

Rank: Private (may or may not rank up over time, but isn't as interested in playing "leader" over anyone)

History: Natch grew up in the few remaining inhabitable areas of the Nevada desert, helping his father with the work he brought home for their local mech development labs (his mother was separated from Natch and his father's convoy during a sandstorm and has been presumed dead ever since). Since their deserts were often used as proving grounds for the mechs, he could always catch a glimpse of the great machines as they practice just out of reach in the training fields. They fought, maneuvered, and brandished all sorts of exotic weaponry and armors before his eyes, day and night. After finishing his primary education, he begged his father to help him into the labs as a test pilot, and after much arguing and eventually pulling strings, he was granted his wish a few years later. He was given an older Sidewinder model Mobile Armor used for basic utility and combat. Most investors refused to buy the Mark VI due to its radial diesel power source being overshadowed by much more agile and powerful electronic units, and was therefore in a surplus. With help from the base staff, it was refurbished and upgraded with a centrifugal supercharger for the engine and centrifugal based boost packs on the back and thighs. A week before maneuvers testing , Natch's father was contacted about the mech and was requested it and its owner be moved to the UN Pilot school in light of the recent modifications. It was an experiment to test the potential of upgraded, obsolete tech against modern standards. Needless to say, Natch jumped on the opportunity in a heartbeat and was on his way to the island only moments after collecting his belongings and wishing his father well.

Extra:
-Natch keeps a book in his room full of pictures documenting his time on base with the Sidewinder, but oddly enough, none of them have him in the field of view spare one with a young man's hair in the bottom corner of the frame. It's bleach blonde supposedly.
-As to why, no one ever bothered to ask, but Natch brought along a shotgun in his personal items with no ammunition. He assumes he can find some on base despite it's cartridge's unique shape.
-The helmet he wears was never part of the uniform he wears from the proving grounds, but part of surplus from a scouting unit. Most of its abilities have been disabled spare a few optics options, a short range communicator, and an FM radio.
-The shoulder pads of his uniform are adorned with an orange smiling face, but it was never part of the uniform design.

MECH

Name: Sidewinder-CS(MkVI)
Type: Mobile Armor
Characteristic: Mass Production/Adaptability
Option: Civilian
Height: 11.7m (without raydome and boost pack)
Weight: Roughly 9 tons due to upgrades
Weaponry: (2x) 105mm HSA-E2a pistols with one 20 round clip each
Extra:
-System performance can be increased by opening the throttle past operation stage idle. The low operating range of RPM means this shouldn't be done anywhere past 3000RPM less the engine integrity is compromised.
-Centrifugal boost packs negate the need for fuel tanks often required for solid or liquid fuel rocket packs, but the system provides less boost overall.
-The pill shaped Raydome grafted to the side of the Sidewinder's head allows for a 360 degree view of the surrounding area through short range radar.
-While better suited to utility work, the Sidewinder can be used in light, close range combat with its two 105mm handguns.
