Welcome to Gaia! ::

Let's make this clean and simple, still a major work in progress:



The TORAMA Unit
The Outlands Recovery and Assets Management Agency (official name)
The Outcasted Races Assault Mercenary Agency (the 'other' name)

A torama is a large feline (Couerl family), in build similiar to a cheetah. They are known for thier speed, evasion, and negative status effects (paralyze, silence, petrify) which are traits that embody successful operations.

Primary services/specialties: Salvage, repossesion (whether material or living...), investments.

Current status: After a long string of attacks from rival mercenary groups and lower plane fiends, the TORAMA are in a period of rebuilding and replenishing supplies. Yakima and Renzo asked Kenosha to 'borrow' his personal demiplane until the TORAMA can get back on its feet. (To accomodate for its size, he had to steal bits and pieces of other demiplanes. Mostly people they didnt like anyway.) The demiplane itself is randomly mobile with the coordinates slightly changing every GAIAN day. Thus only Kenosha (and Yakima, Renzo through mindlink) knows the exact coordinates on any given day.

This often brings them to sites of conflict where they will gladly take advantage of anything salvagable. (similiar to vultures sweatdrop ) Making cash and taking other opportunities is key, but there is an honor code however warped it may be. Pretty much no outright killing, rape, looting established businesses (unless everyone is doing it), vandalism without warrant, those sorta things.

*Yakima (NPC, In charge of Ose security and intel)
Age: Unknown, appears 24
Height: 6'2"
Weight: *slap* ninja
Special: Latent telepathic abilities (defensive only), photographic memory, mental replay. This comes in especially handy when she is mindlink capable with Kenosha and Renzo. Although she is a lillendi, she chooses to maintain a humanoid form in public.
Brief: Daughter to the founder of the DarkDragoons Mercenary Group, she was tutored by Renzo, her father's childhood friend. After his passing, she wandered the planes until running into a tiefling, named Kenosha. They became friends and travelled together briefly (6 months) before he convinced her to return to her duties with the DarkDragoons.

Korrigan (black mandragoras that assist Yakima about 30 throughout HQ grounds)




*Renzo (NPC, In charge of logistics, mechanics, maintenance)
Special: Ability to take apart anything with telemechanics although often has no clue how to put it back together, mindlink capable with Kenosha and Yakima
Age: Unknown, appears 40
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 250 lbs.
Brief: Met Kenosha while spending a prison term on the lower planes, after busting out they parted ways. Pulled out of 'retirement' by Yakima's father to be a member of the DarkDragoons and tutor Yakima.



Moombas (they assist Renzo in his work totaling 36 in number)


*About 100 'normal' humanoid type personnel

Facility Location:
Torama main HQ sits on another plane accessible through gate portals. (Proper coordinates are required to get there and only the 'Big 3' know.) Basically, it's nothing more than a downed Exeter escort sitting on a huge floating rock roughly 20 miles x 6 miles (also 10 miles deep). About five miles from the Ose is a staging point where the gates are usually opened.
Passing through the gate takes less than a minute and usually creates a disorienting affect for a few minutes to any non-planar until one becomes used to it. Machinery and mecha tend to receive static, but usually nothing longer than two minutes.

Equipment:

The Torama Unit carries predominately small sized mecha for use in their activities. Most larger units have been sold or scrapped to repair or rebuild the Ose.

The Ose (Exeter Class Escort): 1, currently disabled

(other stuff I noted in thread so far)

There'll be more when I can think of it or find old notes.

Heya Lindy,

Lemme know just what you're piloting now or anything else of note. There's also an IC Profile thread you can post at to let everyone know who to be afraid of. xd

Salvaged SA-77j Silpheed Super Fighter



Function: Fighter

Engine: NESSELER Ne-500

Reactor: HAURAY Ha-56-J

Max Range: 30.540Mm

Crew: 1

Max Weight: 45.2t

Lenght: 18.8m

Wing Span: 15.8m

Armaments:

Variable double cannons that can be equipped with the same or different type of weapon.


Vulcan- Standard weapon firing a consistent spray of armor piercing shells in front of the fighter. Medium Range.

V Vulcan- Wide Range version of the Vulcan which sprays shots in a V shape at an angle. Medium Range.

Optics Laser- Fires a piercing beam that can easily cut through enemy forces in no time, however it can overheat if used repeatdly. Very Long range.

Napalm Bomb- When fired, 3 groups of 2 bomblets spread out in a Y shape around the fighter including the rear creating a devastating explosion which causes severe damage to anyone caught in its blast. Short Range.

Star Bow- Similar to the Vulcan. It starts off slow then picks up speed, at max speed each cannon (if both cannons are equipped with this armament) will fire four shots in a random scatter pattern. Meduim Range.

Guardian is that someone I had in mind to join just so you know Ken.

Been debating between my beloved Jengiz Omni-fighter... and my sexy Punisher class frigate from Eve Online... so far, the punisher wins in terms of Autonomy... uses lasers, no real consumables... other than say, water for Re-mass.... and well... it has a nice cargo bay. Not to mention that I could literally live in it.

But.... I am a battlemech pilot... so... yeah... there's always that route, god I love Battletech! (and robotech too >.>)

its actually quite a bit smaller than the Exeter, but it'd be a pain to write up.... sooo... I'll go dive into my TRO's for battletech and start debating as to what to bring along...


Any tech level restrictions or year restrictions you'd like to make?

I have no restrictions so i'd say go with whatever you wish. (*cough*Pimpitout*cough*) xd

Tanasha (the guild owner) and Sao are BT people, there's an OOC Mecha Discussion thread in the ASDF subforum if you'd like to get a feel for what they like/frown upon. In any case, Im sure they might be happy to see more BT stuff since we've been pretty heavy on Macross/Robotech. After we get everything set up here I will run it through them for approval, they're not /that/ strict so I'll leave any obvious red flags to your own discresion.

Oh, and I forgot to add that Ken will back up the salvage teams (CAS) or aerospace (punching bag decoy?) in a modified A-10 Thunderbolt II. (VTOL capable like the Cobra Rattler.)

A few reference pics up (or in some cases who they closely resemble since Im too lazy to type an amazing description like Aileen and have no artistic skills whatsoever). sweatdrop

Grabbing some fast food then will be back flesh out some more things.
