==========​

Name: William "The Smokehouse" Parry
Age: 36 years old
Gender: Male

Appearance: 6' 5" with a barrel chest and wide shoulders, William "Smokestack" Parry is obviously the descendant of an ID-SOL. His head his normally kept shaved, as well as hidden under either his field cap or his helmet, and he has a bushy blonde mustache that some officers might be inclined to point out was bordering being out of regulations - if they even thought it'd get him to do something about it. He has a round face, pronounced cheekbones, and bright green eyes. He's seldom seen without his pipe.

Personality: William will be the first man to come to the defense of the Marines under his command when he feels they are in the right, even for something like going against the orders of a superior officer. But he'll be the first one to tear apart the barracks, yelling and screaming in rage, and reprimanding and punishing his Marines if he feels that they were in the wrong or messed up. Its also noted that he keeps a large case of cigars in his tank to distribute among the crews of his flotilment after a successful operation.

Rank: Senior Chief (JO-1)
Tank Name: "Thunder Chief"
Tank Crew:
- Loader: Private 1st Class Andy Riehl - A laid-back and easy-going young man who left amateur air-bike racing because it "wasn't exciting enough, bro-ham," in his words.
- Gunner: Mid-Corporal Elaine "High-Heels" Justus - An often jumpy and excitable young woman, who left her career as a stripper in Funky City for the Marines to escape an abusive boyfriend.
- Driver: Corporal Hans Stein - A stern-faced and taciturn fellow who isn't much for talking and seems to enjoy the pleasure of a good book or oil painting to the constant company of others. Elaine and Andy seem to have made it a mission to "crack his shell".

Name: Dolphin Pak-Wun Wang
Age: 26
Gender: female
Species: Nepleslian

Appearance: 5'5 , 140lbs, with brown eyes, long black hair in a high ponytail, tan skin, with an oval-shaped face and a particularly crooked, wicked smile that looks grinchy in the right light. She rarely smiles however, as she maintains a strict manner in both looks and carriage. While short of stature, this makes her fit very well inside of a tank with room to spare. She is also a professional climber with a sleek, toned physique, a benchpress of 200lbs, and hands suited for crumbling bricks.

Personality: Dolphin is surprisingly easygoing about orders, and cares more about the ends rather than the means. This makes her extremely flexible in terms of protocol, as she will do almost anything to get the job done, including risk her own life as well as the lives of her crew. She will not pressure anyone who will not follow her into the fire, so to speak, so her crew has been distinctly selected for people who have no idea what mortality feels like. Dolphin is the straightman to her comrades, with an unexpectedly dry sense of humour. And yes she knows exactly what her name sounds like, and she tends to respond to jabs or jests with accurately hand-thrown projectiles.

Rank: Corporal (E4)
Tank Name: "Pasco's Prom Ride"
Tank Crew:
- Loader: PFC2 Gorman Chang -- a white, green-eyed blond surfer dude covered in tattoos.
- Gunner: PFC3 Calico Addolorata Cutter -- a muscly black woman with her afro cut into the shape of small cat ears.
- Driver: PFC1 Lyva Tong -- 'Asian' Nepleslian with blue hair and a penchant for unicorns and chewing gum.

Name: Mihail Kostetski
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Species: Nepleslian

Appearance: 5'9, 175lbs. Black hair, pale blue eyes and usually quite unshaven. He's got muscle, but not too much. He's got height, but not too much. He's got agility, but not too much. No matter how you look at this man, it seems he has a little of everything, but never quite meets the mark. Usually unshaven, with an expression screaming: "What a drag.". Usually standing with a slightly bent back, his hands hidden in his pockets. His strong, square jaw only served to add to the already hawkish look his beak-like nose provided.

Personality: His appearance seems to hide nothing about this man. He is lazy, unenthusiastic and usually tries to avoid being sober during his free time. Talking to him is like trying to walk through water. It's annoying and lythargic. However, when this man takes the wheel of a vehicle, or happens to be in command of it, his personality flips into the complete opposite. To the extent of his expression and general persona changing visibly.

Rank: Corporal (E4)
Tank Name: N/A
Tank Crew:
- Loader: PFC3 "Rookie" Tomas Heiner. A tame fellow who got lost on his way to university. Brown hair, short and carefuly cut. Murky green eyes and a slightly softer face than his fellow crewmembers.
- Gunner: PFC1 "Jolly" Roger Williams. Skull-like face paint. Can usually be seen with a simple bandana adorning his forhead, holding back the wild red hair blowing out from his scalp, as if it's never seen a hairbrush before.
- Driver: PFC1 "Pointblank" Frank Jameson. He loves ramming into things.

I hate to be a stickler, but as far as tech goes I would have to say the motorcycle helmet and old goggles are - a bit of a no-go. Safety standards and just technical systems that require the helmet would make those two otherwise unique choices of headgear fine aren't really an option in the Maximus. :-/

Other than that I would say they are good to go.
 
Name: Aleksandra Zinoviya Simonova
Nickname: Sasha
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Species: Nepleslian

Appearance: At 5ft2, Aleksandra is deceptively small in size, belying her wiry toughness. Her face delicate and her eyes deep emerald green in color. She has long crimson hair falls to her lower back and fair skin.

Personality: Aleksandra is an intelligent and dedicated soldier, even at her young age. She prefers a more casual style in handling herself and her people in most situations, though she shapes up properly when superiors are around. She is steadfastly supportive of her fellow soldiers and has already proved her willingness to sacrifice herself for her fellows in combat. Aleksandra likes to think she has a good sense of humor and likes to pull practical jokes on people when she can.

Rank: E3 Private First Class
Tank Name: "Misha"
Tank Crew:
- Loader: PFC. Natalya Ivanova, a tall dark haired woman with icy blue eyes
- Gunner: PCF. Sofia Filitov, a mousy blond woman with brown eyes
- Driver: Pvt. Mariya Gerasimov, a short tawny haired woman with green eyes

Name: Ross Mitchell
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species: Nepleslian
Appearance: Standing 5'10'', Ross has an unremarkable build, hard facial features and a slightly tanned skin. Although young, he has a roughed look due to laugh lines already forming around the corner of his mouth and the barest signs of wrinkles on the sides of his eyes. Never seen without his helmet, he has a short light brown hair and brown eyes.

Personality: Cool headed under pressure and clever were the two main traits that landed Ross on the role of a tank commander along with his ambition at his age. He's a man who's hard to lose his calm and who is thorough when doing his duty, but relaxed and friendly when off-duty. As someone who's very devoted to his duty, Ross tends to put his crew and the mission first to new levels, and more often than not will push his crew to their limits to achieve his objectives.

Rank: Corporal (E4)
Tank Name: "Vehicular Manslaughter"
Tank Crew:
- Loader: P2C Bob ''Brick'' Johnson- Dark skinned ID-SOL with a bionic arm who was transferred from infantry to tank crew duty. Surprisingly the quietest of the crew.
- Gunner: P1C Otto Potapov - Platinum haired, blue eyed Nepleslian with a very light skin who speaks with a heavy accent. Never shuts up.
- Driver: P2C Maggie Greengold - Somewhat short, athletic, light skinned Nepleslian with dirty blonde hair. Has to put up with the gunner's yapping.
 
Gunny, you need to correct your ranks, but other than that you are good to go.

Fox, you are accepted.
 
Name: John "Johnny" Battleaxe
Age: 28
Gender: Manly Man
Species: Manly Nepleslian
Appearance: Manly. Johnny Battleaxe is 5'8" with short black hair with multi-colored streaks. Brown eyes.
Personality: Boisterous and aggressive. Johnny Battleaxe and his crew come from the Imperial Tank Guards, the 4th Marines' armored division where they look down on all the other units of the Shaik. That ego is even more reinforced with this new unit. Nonetheless, he is also a very capable tank commander with a crew who have been together for years. He earned his stripes on the K4 before swapping out for the Maximus.
Rank: Corporal
Tank Name: Crush 'N Grind!
Tank Mods: Being from the ITG, it would be poor form for Johnny & the Warhammers to arrive with their tank at factory standard. During their own shakedown with the Guards, they made extensive changes to the CNG. First, they added external speakers to play whatever music they had hooked up. Then they added lots of hammocks on the side so they could transport stuff or sleep in it. The engine has been modified to run off diesel as well as alcohol. It's called sharing a drink with a buddy. The 4th Marines' insignia has been sprayed onto the sides of the turret, a skull crossed by lightning bolts.

Inside, there is a small hot plate to boil water as well as a kettle. There's also a jury-rigged music system and Lewis Pasco Day colored lights hung randomly in the turret, giving the interior a very dazzling effect.

Tank Crew: The Warhammers
- Loader: Sanjay "Jay Jay" Jayaratnam
- Gunner: Samantha "Sammie" Cartwright
- Driver: Dana "Danny" Chao

Misc: In their spare time, the crew also form a rock band.
 
Name: Adam Foss
Age: 29
Gender: Short Man
Species: Nepleslian
Appearance: A short, vaguely hispanic man with ruddy blonde hair.
Personality: Possibly coarse, mostly uncaring of all but his immediate associates. Will never talk in a formal tone and has a mild Napoleon complex. Don't call him short, either.
Rank: E4, I guess?
Tank Name: El Corcel
Tank Crew: (I'll think of some funny names for these later)
- Loader:
- Gunner:
- Driver:
 
Name: Adamask "Old Man Junker or Junker" Tyrosian
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Species: Nepleslian
Appearance:
Adamask, or Adam to his colleagues, has been told he "isn't much to look at," but it hasn't stopped him from picking up the ladies. His physique appears somewhat as a glutton and his larger belly contests to that. Not is what it appears, when the platoon training comes into play, he is usually at the top of his age bracket in most events, which usually raises ire towards him. To his friends though, he has shown the large scar running along his abdomen where his muscles were severed and his oddly misplaced muscles show on top of his gut. A former mechanic by trade, he hasn't yet learned how to clean the grease and grime from his person, although his uniform is somewhat of a hindrance to the look. Close cropped hair, a paler olive skin tone, and a tilted Type 33 cap complete the ensemble of a working man.

Personality:
Starting later than most in the NSMC, Adam has never failed to meet expectations set for him. He often feels that he has to prove himself to the "youngbloods" of the unit, who often crack jokes about his age and rank. Not one for fighting or arguments, his second to none crew and friends jump to his aid more than he does himself. He's generally a quiet man, who works long and hard to keep his vehicles running and operating smoothly. He enjoys the adrenalin rush of operations and he has been known to unleash his pent up energy in odd ways. He works well with his crew and pushes them to meet his often high expectations. He accepts nothing but the best from his men and vehicle, but always keeps it in the family and takes great offense when someone criticizes their work.

Rank: E-2, Private Second Class
Tank Name: Hazardous Material
Tank Crew:
His crew shows great loyalty and have accepted mantles to show their dedication to the often used insult/nickname Adam owns. They all wear various adjusted Type 33 caps for uniformity and solidarity.

- Loader: E-2 Desmond "Drone" Larrius, a tall and burly Nepleslian who wears his cap tilted up and to the right. His has a rough jaw of usually unshaven hair and a body to match. A rough and tumble kind of guy who goes about his loading procedures with automated efficiency.
- Gunner: E-3 Sarah "Sentinel" Lalouks, a thin and shy girl who keeps her small ponytail tucked behind her cap. She often wears grease under her eyes as a form of warpaint and is by far the most professional crew member. She is often overheard on the radio screaming and yelling at either her mates or the enemy. She has a cartoon universe and constellation tattooed on her left shoulder down to her elbow on her right arm.
- Driver: E-4 Jakesh "Jammer" Sogman, an eccentric young man who has refused command of a tank mainly because he doesn't handle stress very well and he only likes to drive. He has a cybernetic eye colored to match his existing one and wears his cap turned backwards. The bleeding heart of the crew, he takes no satisfaction from killing but understands that it is a necessary evil to protect his home and family.
 
Name: I. "Wespe" Titenlieb (Though she uses Wespe as a name.)
Age: 28 AY
Gender: Very very Female
Species: Abwehran surfacer
Appearance: See the bio
Personality: Once again, the bio
Rank: Corporal
Tank Name: The BONE
Tank Crew: (You are the commander, remember that)
- Loader: Jenn'ir "Wojtek" Daaar'ka - Female Lorath Lmanel, aspected with bear.
- Gunner: Fastclaw Wolflord - Kohanian wolfman. He is a wolf. He likes to kill stuff.
- Driver: Rum Taman - Phod driver. Why he did not join Yam army? They don't really use any bloody tanks do they? Great cook. Can make best burgers on the engine grill.
