Noriyuki Sawabe
What you know: Noriyuki Sawabe has commanded the Gray Wolf Battalion for five years now, having formed the unit after leaving the DCMS following the Clan invasion. He is a veteran of the battle for Luthien, where he served with the 2nd Legion of Vega. He is stereotypically closed mouthed about his past, viewing the mediocrity of it a failure in it's own right.
Noriyuki has found a measure of satisfaction in being a commander of a fairly successful mercenary battalion and is marginally less reckless.
Description: The Major is of average height for a Kuritan, being 1.7 meters tall and weighs 64 Kilograms. He has dark brown hair and brown eyes. The fingers on his left hand are a black metallic prosthetic obtained after an accident in his youth. Other than that, he is non descript.

Jia Li
What you know: Not much of Jia is known to the group at the moment, except that she is the new administrative assistant and S-Woman. In other words, she does odds and ends jobs for the group, doing whatever they may ask of her. Sometimes this can range from doing paper work to typing to fetching coffee or even items to whatever else the group may ask.
Desc: She is Jia Li, or just Jia to friends. She stands about five and a half feet tall, and has an air of quiet strength about her. Her hair is a beautiful cascade of glossy locks of midnight that goes down to her hips, sliding down where it frames her luscious behind. Her skin is pale, making her features stand out. Her eyes are a vibrant shade of purple framed by thick, dark lashs. Her eyes sparkling with knowledge and intelligence. Her lips are plush, and full, looking rather kissable.
Her body is a thing of beauty, a thing of inner strength, a thing of passion, a thing of emotions. Emotions seems the best way to describe this woman. It flows through her every fiber, defining her being. It is what makes her a person of strength, a person who is uninhibited, and a person that is relied upon by her friends. It is her defining characteristic. Her arms are lean and well-formed, leading to small hands with impressive fingernails. Meanwhile, her chest is supple and curvaceous, a little large on her frame, but they remain proud, and defiant on her chest. Her stomach is lithe, toned, and firm, melting into a pair curvy hips. Her waist narrows to a perfect pair of buttocks that are a drool inspiring display. Her long legs are muscled, and lead into feet that are rather petite.

Christelle LEROY
What you know : If you're into rock music or tabloids, you've probably heard of Christelle as the girlfriend of Karl Jaeger, a well known drummer of a famous rock band.
That's probably all you know about Christelle, she's a quiet girl when it comes to her life.
If you have acces to her files, you know that she served in the Taurian Concordat army as infantry girl, and recieved special ops training. You'd also know that she's trained in blowing stuff up (or preventing stuff from blowing.)
What she looks like : Christelle is strong. Really strong. She spent a great deal of her life training in military camps, working hard and well, and her bulging muscles and very angular build gives her a very athletic figure. She has green eyes and dark red hair, worn short and straight, and a tanned skin.

Alexandr Rahim Deshiriyev
What you know He's a civilian, the unit's mech tech. Some say he used to live on Solaris, might've been a trader too, but it's pretty much hearsay for most people - Alex isn't particularly talkative. His accent identifies him as a Fed, but somehow the commander tolerates him.
Desc A flattop of tightly coiled dark brown hair crowns a long, morose face dominated by a steeply majestic forehead. Brown eyes glint suspiciously under thick eyebrows, thin lips form a disapproving gash between a pair of deep vertical wrinkles. The whole silhouette of this thirtysomething mostly-white male seems stretched somewhat randomly - his limbs are long and powerfully muscled, bringing him up to over 190 cm in height, but his wide chest seems skinny and undernourished. He's permanently wreathed in a cloud of foul smoke, emanating from a half-burned cigarillo gripped between his teeth. The reinforced pockets of his wrinkled, oil-stained clothes hold a wealth of gear a techie might need.

Hototo
What you know: Hototo is a Clansman. He has been with Major Sawabe since Luthien. He spends as much time as possible in a Mech, where his stubborn inability to fit in to his new culture is less pronounced.
Description: Hototo is of average height and weight for a mid-twenty year old. Both head and face are always shaved, and his eyes are dark. Although young, he has a number of light scars marring his tanned skin, and walks with a definate limp. He is almost always dressed in nothing but a blue and grey kilt, and a leather vest with a white greatcat painted on the back. The painting was clearly done with a great deal of care, and very little skill. An identical emblem decorates the finely made auto-pistol that is usually on his hip. A woven bracelet stands out on his wrist, and he has never been seen without it. He often sits silently staring at nothing while his long, deft fingers twist it around and around his wrist.

[OOC - Well, was gonna make this a longer story, but it's ] [really just about effective this way, so... let's just go with] [this. ~ Kana ] "...will be your last chance to use the lavatory before we begin our pre-docking orbit." Marcus Varro awoke to the tinny in-flight speakers spitting static. His hands clenched on his first-class armrest. How long had he been sleeping? Judging by the tightness in his neck muscles, quite a while. "To repeat, please make sure all loose items are stowed and that you have returned to the passenger area. We are now beginning our pre-docking routines over Solaris VII." A dangerously obese man shuffled and sweated his way past him, into his own seat opposite of Marcus. Marcus was in his mid-thirties, and still obsessively kept the slightest hint of fat off of his body. To give himself something else to look at, he studied the great neon-glowing planet that now dominated the viewport. Solaris VII. The blood gem of the solar system. "Beautiful, isn't it?", the fat man was talking to him, "Is this your first time here?" "No, I've been here before. But it was a long time ago. It seems much busier now," Marcus replied, after a moment of thought. Answering personal questions to a stranger was not on his list of goals for this trip. "How about yourself? Do you live on Solaris?" "Me? Oh, ho ho, no, definitely not. But I take this trip at least once a year, make sure the engineering goons aren't hiding anything from me. I run a weapon-manufactury planetside. " He added unnecessarily, "Solaris VII will make you rich, but only if you don't let yourself get trapped in its gravity. Then she'll suck the blood out of you and you won't even realize it." "She?" "She? Oh, Solaris VII. The great whore of the universe." The obese man grinned, making his chins wobble. Dismissing the fat man from his mind, Marcus Varro looked back out the viewport and grimaced. Great. Yet another planet that I'm going to hate.

Marcus Varro
What you know -
Marcus recently arrived on sirius VII, originally from the Marian Hegemony, and promptly enlisted as the unit's doctor. He's always polite, but rarely friendly. Marcus mostly spends his free time reading or attending to his medical equipment. He keeps himself in shape, but is not apparently militarily trained. His usual expression and outlook on life can be summed up as 'dour'.
Marcus is a bit shorter than average, and his short cut hair is beginning to turn to gray at the temples. If he's not wearing a unit-issued medical uniform, he usually wears conservative but expensive clothing.

Alex Andersson
Brief History: Alex's history is hard to get from him, given that he doesn't speak much about his past. From his military dossier though, He was born in the Outerworlds Alliance, and enlisted in the military at the age of sixteen. After basic training in the infantry, he was selected for special forces training. He then participated in a tour of duty, mostly garrison duty around the Outerworlds Alliance. The next section of his file is deemed 'classified', though public knowledge speaks that he participated in an assasination plot in the Taurian Concordant, until a nosy reported blew his cover. He was dismissed from the military afterward, and soon signed up for the mercenary unit to help pay the bills.
Description: Alex is a fairly tall (6 foot 4 inch), blonde haired blue eye'd man. He is very rarely found out of uniform, and is not generally very talkative to others of the unit. He does not give off a bad feeling though, more of a quiet one. The only adornments he is usually attired in is a locket that is taped to his dogtags.

RFL-3N Rifleman SLDF964-71886 "The Old Davion"
What you know: From maintenance records and other files, it has been determined that the "Old Davion" was one of the first 3N series Rifleman battlemechs constructed. The unit was made at the Kallon Industries plant on Talon in the Federated Suns and was immediately pressed into the Star League Defense Force as they strove to liberate Terra from the hands of Amaris the Usurper.
When General Aleksandr Kerensky took 80% of the remaining SLDF with him beyond known space, this unit had found it's way into the nascent 7th Crucis Lancers on the world of Kentares III.
The Old Davion stood witness to the infamous Kentares massacre, where nearly all human life on that planet was wiped out after Minoru Kurita's assassination. The Old Davion was recovered during the frenzied Federated counter attack.
The sixty ton machine then served along the Capellan front as part of a special fire force that helped House Davion regain territory lost to the opportunistic Capellan Confederation. This unit was eventually merged into the 5th Syrtis Fusiliers unit.
The Old Davion returned to the 7th Crucis Lancers when they took part in the massive assault on the Capellan Factory world of Tikonov during the Fourth Succession War. The Fourth Succession War was launched after the marraige of Hanse Davion to Melissa Steiner and was a very successful attempt to diminish House Davion's hated foe.
During the War of 3039, Hanse Davion's attempt to destroy the Draconis Combine, the ancient Rifleman had found it's way into the elite Davion Guards strike force tasked with taking An Ting for the Federated Suns.
It was there that this unit fell, and was salvaged by Noritaka Sawabe, a lance commander with the Elite Genyosha Regiment. The Old Davion was refurbished and given to Noritaka's middle son, Noriyuki.
Noriyuki recieved the Old Davion as he graduated from the Sun Zhang Academy and was sent to the 2nd Legion of Vega. The 2nd Unit performed lightning raids in their attempt to persuade the Federated Commonwealth against attacking the Draconis Combine.
In the year of peace, the 2nd was brought to the Draconis Combine's capital of Luthien, where the pilot and battlemech took part in protecting the world from the massive combined Smoke Jaguar/ Nova Cat assault.
The unit is currently assigned as the Mercenary Gray Wolf Battalion's command battlemech.
Description: The Old Davion is painted gray, with red highlights. The Battlemech features an over and under Laser/Autocannon mount on both arms and a large sensor array above its head. The unit stands 10 meters tall and weighs in at 60 tons.
The Old Davion earned it's name when it's current pilot compared it to "A cantankerous and crochety Davion general. Headstrong, stubborn and determined to get his own way, no matter the odds."

What you know: Mikael Andromache led a rather unusual life. His family became fugitives from law when he was but a toddler, and he spent many of his teenage years on a farm; both to hide and to have a way to get some clink in his pockets. However, he gained amnesty for his family after joining the army, and climbed the ranks so fast and with such fervor that he was able to bring wealth and honor back to his distraught relatives. Ever honorable, ever romantic, he sees things in a rose-colored light, and even on a battlefield, he perceives naught but the positives.
Description: He is of average height, with dark hair and eyes to match. His skin gives him away as being from the Mediterranean, though it is not too dark nor too light (as he spends much time in the sun, scouting for missions, but also takes his leisure time at home just as seriously). He is heavily-built, but not fat, having spent many years working menial labor on his farm. What makes him even more of an oddity is that he sports not one scar nor artificial limb on his person, especially considering his past and the line of work he is in. Continuously draped in olive-green fatigues and jet-black army boots (both of which he stole from the corpse of a man he slayed in a duel), he is both strangely out of and in place amongst the ranks of his unit.

JR7-D Jenner DC381-29657 "Kohana"
What you know: The JR7-D Jenner was a 'mech designed championed by Coordinator Minoru Kurita as the Star League fell. Indeed, the Jenner was a preferred instrument of the 2nd Sword of Light to avenge his assassination at the hands of a Davion sniper.
The Jenner series has seen countless battles in all successor states, despite the fact that the Draconis Combine is the only one that makes the design. Captured Jenners have spread to the Capellan Confederation and the Free Worlds League from House Davion and House Steiner respectively. The design served well in the Dark Ages of the Succession Wars, being easy to maintain and repair.
Lieutenant Hototo's Kohana is a newer Jenner, being made by Luthien Armor Works as they shifted production to the JR7-K design. Kohana was pressed into service on Luthien and was nearly destroyed in the heavy combat for that planet. The Gray Wolf Battalion bought Kohana as part of a package of scrap 'mechs and replacement parts. It was found by the unit's technicians that Kohana was salvageable.
Kohana was given to Hototo after he was promoted to command a strike lance in the unit, a controversial decision, given his Smoke Jaguar heritage.
Description: Kohana is painted in the same red and gray as the Old Davion and also exchanges humanlike arms for four weapons barrels, yet is more insect like and squat.
