Physical
Appearance
The Huscarl Infantry Exoskeletal Unit Is a 7' tall walking war machine finished in dark blue and grey, the colours of Triple S Exceptionally large, in order to incorporate all the weaponry, and technology required.
John is slightly built and always keeps his appearance as neat as he can, in part due to his military past but also because as a representative of Saxon his appearance is always important. As such he is rarely seen without his Uniform.
Personality & Mentality
John has always been the best. At school he was the best footballer, when he joined the RAF he was the best pilot on any base he was sent to. At Saxon he is their best test pilot. As such he can be more than a little sure of his abilities. However he also has more than a little trouble with authority.
The most common comment from his superiors is "Cocky little bastard"
Powers & Abilities
The Huscarl unit contains many weapon systems from the Minigun to rocket pods and a plasma sword for use in close quarters. Recent tests suggest that its pure mechanical strength makes simple punches more effective in most cases however. For situations where the built in firepower is insufficient it is capable of linking up with a prototype orbital weapon.
Travel Methods
Transport is provided by the Projects STRPC, or Saxon Tilt Rotor Personel Carier also called a Rook due to the resemblance to a Raven in flight. Once on location the suit conveys itself with propulsion units based in its feet.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Outside of his suit John is a normal human being, whilst he has access to Saxon's best in military body armour and small arms he is unable to fit in the Power Armour wearing anything beyond a couple of pistols. Furthermore he is not a very good shot.
History
((OOC Note)) Strictly OOC information unless learned IC.
John was always popular in school, brought up by an RAF pilot and Medic he always knew he would join the RAF. However repeated issues with his behaviour, including improper use of military grade explosives during a fireworks display, caused John to be kicked out. It was only a matter of weeks before scouts from Saxon were talking to him, within a month he was flying their prototype aircraft.
During one such test flight a faulty component caused a fire to break out in the cockpit, despite repeated calls from his superiors to bail out John landed the plane, saving the company millions of pounds and months of work, and saving his pride in always returning to base with his plane. However he was horribly wounded and disfigured it took a year of the best medical attention Saxon's money and researchers could provide before he was fully healed. His loyalty was to be rewarded, The owner of Triple S, Angelo Saxon himself informed him of the details of his next assignment, the Huscarl Project.
John has been shipped to America to perform live fire tests of the suit pitting it against criminals, invading aliens and even super villains in order to display its capabilitys to potential customers in Military and Law Enforcement areas. The project is a new aproach for Saxon combining the latter stages of testing with PR.
Rumors and Miscellaneous
Saxon are known for their work with artillery and tanks, whilst they have been making high quality and specialised small arms for a while now, and they recently started work on a prototype Fighter Jet built in the UK with the aims to replace the JSF and Eurofighter, the unveiling of the Huscarl Project was a big surprise to many.
It is also rumoured that the sudden move to base the project in America is part of a attempt to break into the American arms market. There are reports Saxon are involved in the building of a Tower in Downtown. These rumours have caused a number of Arms companys in the states to take a close interest, whispers suggest that some are already attempting to find out what they can and even stall or put a halt to the move. ARGENT in particular have been very vocal in calling for Huscarl to be denied permission to operate in the US and for Saxon to be forcibly removed from the country.
