Psychological Characteristics
Personality:
Gran loves to be around people, even though he doesn't like the attention to be focused on him. Gran tries to stay quiet as much as possible. Gran knows he has nothing to hide but he has grown into the habit of keeping to himself, having lived with so many brothers for so long.
Gran enjoys listening to other people's stories, as long as those people aren't in the business of self-gratification. He has a hard time keeping his mouth shut when someone is continuously going on and on about how great they are, especially when the story is exaggerated, or if it's at other people's expense, even more so when it is people Gran knows.
Gran tries to stay as casual as possible, preferring to dress in cargo pants and loose shirts. He also tries to keep himself basically presentable, hair trimmed, nails clipped, face shaven, but sometimes lets his hair grow long and bushy.
Gran certainly feels an attachment to the machines that he works on. He takes splendid care of whatever is placed under his supervision. He also guards his possessions quite strongly, afraid anyone but himself might break something. He loves tasks other would consider mundane, he has no problem sitting in one place for hours working on problems that others have long given up on.
Gran has always loved his parents unconditionally and gives them credit for all of his achievements throughout life. He often thinks about them and does everything he can to impress them, even though he knows they could never be disappointed in him.
Likes: Humility, humor, and BBQ
Dislikes: Know-it-alls, sleeping in, people disobeying authority
Goals: Gran wants to become well know by people far and wide and to be remembered even after his death.
History
Gran was the second son of a Middle class family on Nepleslia, he was followed by three other brothers at about three year intervals. His father worked at an odd-jobs repair company and his mother spent all her time making sure the house stayed together. Gran's early life was spent mostly on school. He put a lot of effort into his early schooling, trying to make his parents proud. Gran tried to stay out of the crime business as much as possible, due to his mother's request.
In his spare time, he would often try to help, or at least watch, his father when he was repairing or tuning machines of all kind, from vehicles to implants. He would constantly pressure his father to teach him how to fix things. For Gran's 12th birthday, his father gave his an old, broken motorbike, so the he could learn to fix it. Gran learned a lot from his father and has retained all the information he learned very well.
Gran ended up spending a lot of time just traveling around town on his bike, when he fixed it of course. He would often run across the military types, they always seemed so respectable and magnificent to him. He tried talking to them about their exploits into battle, but they were often very busy and didn't have time to share. Gran began to feel unimportant, like he wasn't contributing anything to society. He decided to join the army, hoping that he would be able to do something important, or at least entertaining.
Skills
Fighting: Gran studied Aikido while he was young, and followed it for a reasonable time, learning much about using an opponent's momentum and movement against them. Gran also gained flexibility from this martial art. Gran also learned much about projectile weapons from his early military training. Gran has trained to handle most standard issue weapons. He prefers long range weapons where applicable.
Physical: Gran's military training has kept his body reasonably toned. His aikido keeps his body limber.
Survival: Gran's military training has taught him how to survive for reasonable amounts of time in wilderness conditions. He knows which plants are safe to eat and can construct a fire from gathered materials. He has had little skill and hunting and doesn't mind eating gathered foliage.
Communication: Gran has been trained how to receive, respond to and send messages on his armor suit's comm. He has also studied basic cryptography along with encryption.
Armor Pilot: Gran has been militarily trained in piloting armor suits. He has learned squad importance and maneuvers along with space drop procedures. He has also trained in basic weapons use and battlefield tactics.
Engineering: Gran has learned the concepts that drive most basic machines. He loves to tinker with things, always trying to squeeze that last ounce of power out an engine, or amplify a radio's signal, even if only for a few feet. Gran has spent much time studying his power armor, learning how to tweak many functions from basic movement limitations to more advanced functions, such as IFF recognition speeds. He considers himself to be quite adept in almost everything mechanical, but he would never brag about it.
Maintenance and Repair: Gran's early childhood has provided him with a good background for most repairs to common components (basic electronics, motors) and more specific components (vehicle drive trains, computer circuits). His experience is mostly limited to domestic applications, mostly vehicles, and power armor. He is constantly tying to improve his range of skill, trying to broaden his knowledge to cover every problem that could possibly come up.
OOC Notes
Chop it up! Make me better. This is my first go at this sort of thing, so I'm sure it's pretty rough around the edges. I ran it through a spell/grammar check, but I might have missed some things.
Revisions, round one:
Removed cybernetic arm
History, pretty extensive changes
Skills, specific description made, I tried to focus on his love of mechanics
Revisions, round two:
Change occupation to Technical Sentry
Added more gearhead description to his personality
Expanded a little on his Engineering and Maintenance/Repair Skills.
