Multiverse Mecha Mayhem Example Character: Yamaguchi Shichiro

Name: Yamaguchi Shichiro
Description: Lean and skinny, with a long-scar along his chin and a nose that is bent out of shape. Shichiro looks like he's been in a fight or three, which isn't helped by the leather jackets that he likes to wear, nor the short military hairstyle he favours.
Backstory: Shichiro was orphaned while he was still a baby, during the Elysium-Aeolis war. He went through a variety of orphanages and foster parents before the Badz Brotherhood discovered his psychic powers and taken to the Black Base. At that secretive location he learned to control his Telekinesis, but was also experimented as part of the Iron Doll project until he stole a prototype and escaped. From there he found allies and rallied against the Badz Brotherhood, culminating in a final battle which saw the Black Base nuked and its sins erased for good.

Never the most well-adjusted of people, since then Shichiro has travelled the multiverse, searching for a purpose or a worthy foe to cut his blades on. It is easier than dealing with the guilt of killing his best friend after he was brainwashed by the Badz Brotherhood.

Traits:
Always Alert: Shichiro is hyperaware of his surroundings due to his psychic powers. He will never be caught off guard or surprised. If attacked by an enemy he will always be able to perform an action first, whether it’s running away or attacking themselves.
Swordsman: Shichiro is an accomplished swordsman both on and off of his mech. He gets +1 success to using swords or sword-like objects in combat.

Mech Name: ID-00b Custom 'Zanjibaru'
Description: Originally a prototype unit for the Iron Doll project that acted as a test bed for a variety of systems and weaponry before Shichiro used it to escape from the Black Base. Since then it has been tuned up and customized to his liking, making use of his psychic powers and talent as a swordsman. Standing at 19 meters tall it is imposing with its black-white-red colour scheme and propulsion fins jutting out of the back. Knives dot its limbs and chest, ready for when Shichiro needs it, and from behind juts out the Spine-Splitter Launcher, for when Zanjibaru needs to engage with long-range foes. At its side are two swords, Joyeuse and Heaven's Will, attached using powerful electromagnets.
