[Your Eternal Reward]

Character Name: Cain Agares
Affiliation: Hyperion Mining Collective & Earth Outer Reaches Expeditionary Force
Rank: Sergeant Major
Position: Recon, infiltration, demolitions and sabotage expert. Left hand of the Captain. Technically third-in-command but usually keeps to himself.
Age: 53

Skills: Master Thief, Hacking Specialist and Chemical Mastermind.
Gear: As a cyborg, Cain's body doubles as his gear. Fitted with standard-issue HELS (hostile environment life support) mechanics, a datajack interface, tesla gauntlet and AVW (adjustable visual window) visor.
Mech: E-093 Fenrir -- Speed like no other. A deep-infiltration mech, capable of deploying dangerous payloads or charging and tackling fragile back-liners, further production of the Fenrir model was stifled completely; its canine chassis was both too foreign and too fragile. To Cain, the frame comes just as naturally as his other.
History: An ex-con, Cain's life was one of piracy and plunder. A quick ship and a quick wit meant everything, so it was no surprise that it took blowing half his body clean off for him to finally fall to capture. Utterly broken, he found a 'second chance' when an experimental program developing military-grade cyborgs used him as a lab rat. Though he was a success, the project was deemed a failure because reflex speed was drastically reduced in almost all other subjects. While his shady past keeps him at a distance, it's hard to deny the effectiveness of what Cain does.

Mech: E-099 Othello The E-099 is a close-quarters mech built in Nigeria but based on designs of a pre-existing Japanese model the Akatsuki or E-098 as it's referred to, ontop of much being cheaper to produce, it's more rare than its Japanese counterpart despite being a virtual carbon copy of the E-98. In some ways the E-99 is an improvement on the design of the E-98. Technically, the E-99 doesn't exist legally or rather its a patent infringement, but you can still come across one if you know where to look.

Among the features present in the E-098 model.
The E-099 features a cloaking system, a chain-sword equipped with a high-frequent vibrating function and a built in sub machine gun unit. Above average mobility and customizable options, makes this unit a viable mid-tier close range mech.

History: Corporal Murdoch may appear fully human but he is in fact a chimera. Someone who has had their genetic makeup re-engineered or "spliced" with the DNA of a secondary species, the other half of his genetic source re-modified with that of a great white shark. Although mostly human, he bears traits of experimentation such as gil-like slit which span the length of his neck and marvelous fins protruding from his lower calfs. Not to be mistaken, Corporal Murdoch has no issues about his unusual condition. He owes his life to genetic engineering. Those he served alongside in duty consider him a valuable asset despite some of his unnerving traits.
