Background
Mica Nowell is a 16 year old female human. Her physical build is lean and athletic and she a very attractive looking. She is average height, standing 5 feet, 5 inches tall. She is agile and dexterous, able to use both hands with equal skill.
To note on her young age, due to the constant, ongoing conflict engaged in by the United Earth Expeditionary Force regularly depleting the fleet of experienced pilots and troops, the UEEF has to recruit young.
She is the last born in her family at the Mars Base. She has 2 older siblings, an older brother and an older sister. Her parents and siblings are alive and well, but she is not on the best of terms with all of them. Her older brother, Scott Nowell, was a member of the early reclamation forces and disappeared. (Note: he actually ended up on Rifts earth.)
Her outlook on Earth, It is the legendary homeworld. She sees it through rose-colored glasses and it is special and wonderful. She has an unrealistic and fanciful, idealized vision of Earth, its importance and what it should be like. She is happy to be “home,” but is most certainly in for a rude awakening.
She is By the book and tends to follow orders to the “T,” She is very formal, follows procedures and is by the book military. Always against breaking rules and hate bending the rules except under exceptional circumstances. Note: this is her code of honor hinderance. She however is also bold, not afraid to lead into combat.
She is smart and learned, studying electronics and engineering at the Mars base. She has always been good with machines and she learned much about the UEEF mecha and power armor. She has fine tuned her armor and her H-90 Gallant.
She trained to be infantry for the fight to retake Earth from the invid. She was a member of a unit making the assault on reflex point. She was tasked with bringing much needed protoculture cells to a group of fighters who desperately needed it. Along the way, during the battle, a rift opened that she went through and found herself on Rifts Earth.

cyclone point cost: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
cyclone write up: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DcY ... sp=sharing

Note to GM: This character uses a very particular form of energy in regards to E-clips and power cells for the cyclone battle bike/armor. Finding even a handful will be a major boon on Rifts Earth. Finding more is nearly impossible. At some point the character will have to convert the bike to a Rifts power source - probably TW or possibly a very advanced nuclear option custom optimized. Another good option would be the 50 year crystal power source of a mechanoid. The energy needs of the cyclone are very high.
Please note the Cyclone can be used indefinitely in bike mode, as they have an electric battery that will suffice for basic operations.

I'll have to get someone to do something better later.

edit: I've updated the files but I can't upload them due to board quota

I put the image on my deviantart used the image from there.

Just to point out, you can take a couple of minor hindrances still

If you're open to suggestions, Quirk (Naivete) would be a good fit for her background--she's not quite Clueless (which would be a Major Hindrance), but she's still very Pollyanna about how she views the the world, which might leave more cynical natives a bit bemused and/or frustrated, depending on the circumstance.

And since you're likely to be the party Face, if you can qualify for the Linguist Edge, that would be incredibly useful. (I'm just picturing her, as a recruit in her bunk, reading anything she can get of old Earth fiction, and learning several languages just so she can make use of as broad a collection as possible.)

Mica Nowel wrote:At some point the character will have to convert the bike to a Rifts power source - probably TW

Just a quick note that if you get the the bike converted to TW, you would need to pick up an Arcane Background to use it. You wouldn't be able to do much with it other than power TW devices unless you also built up the appropriate skill, though.

I could see her being a latent psychic, but coming from a low-magic world it was never powerful enough to be noticed. Rifts Earth having so much more ambient magical energy could cause her powers to 'awaken'. Feels a bit more Gundam than Robotech to me, though.

I need to setup a post for the cyclones and CVR-3 armor. I think I ran into a minor technical issues with my current writeup and i don't want to just go and fix it. I forgot to make notation that the armor is M.D.C. armor. the second part being that the CVR-3 armor is also M.D.C armor? looking at the players handbook, there is personal armor that is M.D.C.
