Name: Machman.EXE (MKII)
Gender: Male
Element: Null
Type: Speed
Theme

Appearance: Thanks to the addition of his dark blue, nearly black armor and prosthetic limbs, MachMan stands at a slightly taller 6'4" and approximately 230lbs. The entire armor ensemble looks reminiscent to older 21st century stealth aircraft; in fact, his upper torso looks like an aircraft fuselage with twin jet engines. His head is covered by an ellipse-shaped "bubble" cockpit, with opaque dark cyan glass. The canopy sits in a large ellipse-shaped "collar" that blends seamlessly into the fuselage that makes up MachMan's chest and back. The chest armor has a flattened spade-shaped nosecone that extends about 1.5 feet from the front of the canopy and smoothly transitions into the rest of the fuselage, giving it a flat diamond front profile. A low-profile "blister" is set on the underside of the fuselage near his chest, which is covered in several opaque glass panels. These panels conceal several camera programs, which give MachMan the ability to see "through" his own chest and shoulder armor. The back of the fuselage tapers down to an edge similar to that of a wing, but ends in a zig-zag pattern commonly seen in radar-reflective designs.

In place of MachMan's shoulders, two cylindrical jet nacelles are affixed to the left and right sides of his fuselage-like upper torso. Each nacelle is about as long as his chest fuselage from tip to tail, and have a diameter slightly larger than the width of his canopy, giving him a bulkier, wide-shouldered and slightly top heavy profile. Both engines have large nosecones that extend just slightly past the tip of his chest armor, and are so wide that they nearly cover the entire front of the turbine engines. A trapezoid-shaped fin is affixed midway down the side of each nacelle and extends diagonally up and out at a 45 degree angle. The rear of the engines have three hinged paddles arranged in a triangular formation around the exhaust ring, which allow for multi-axis thrust vectoring. At idle, they provide 0 net thrust, while at full afterburner they provide enough thrust to propel MachMan at speeds that make him live up to the name.

These engines act as Mach's shoulders, though entirely immobile. To compensate for this, Mach's spindly arms are significantly longer than normal; his fingers can reach down to his knees. The arms are very thinly armored, and can be folded upwards to lay against the underside of his engine shoulders when cruising. There are little differences in width from his upper arms to forearms, and his elbows are seamlessly in-line with the rest of his arms, as if his arms were designed to function also as aerodynamic fins or control surfaces. His fingers are also quite long and flattened, so when his fingers and thumb are extending straight outwards on a single plane, they nearly form into a wingtip shape, and can function as such if Mach needs additional control surfaces, especially for gradual and precise movements.

Mach's abdomen is mostly unchanged, though his Navisuit is now dark blue like the rest of his armor, and a single wedge-like piece of armor extends down from the bottom of his chest armor to a similarly angular bracket around his waist. Below that are his purely mechanical legs. His thighs aren't quite as spindly as his arms, though they are quite thin by normal standards. Two trapezoid-shaped intakes bracket his knee joints, which lead back to small slot exhausts to provide extra thrust when needed. His lower legs are very thin, and look more like aircraft stabilizers with feet than "normal" legs. His shins are rounded like the leading edges of a wing, which taper to a thinner trailing edge that makes up his calves. Their side profile looks roughly like a normal leg, where the width of his legs are thicker up near where his calf muscles would be, and very thin around his ankles. His feet are very mechanical-looking and flat like two-toed skids, as if they were designed to give the most stability while requiring the least amount of weight and material.

A recent addition were two emblems that can be displayed at will on the outer surfaces of his ruddervators. The first was a gold-bordered shield crest with a black background. Inside the crest was a simple orange diagonal thunderbolt design, wreathed in a white halo and flanked on the trailing side by a birdlike wing, but made up of many small, angular blue shards. The bottom of the shield was bordered with a scroll-like banner with a similar gold outline and black field, with the words "HONORA JACENTES" written in gold text. The second was identical to the first with exception of the color scheme, everything other than the black background was changed to a matte gray, a "subdued" version of the emblem.


Background: Machman started out as just a standard NormalNavi purchased/created by Mazer Patrovski. However, one day he was traversing the net and encountered a strange data anomaly. He was confronted by a collection of foreign data that took the form of an almost invisible Navi. This data infected the NormalNavi and synchronized with it. This caused the NormalNavi to be basically "possessed" by Machman.EXE (Mk I); a Navi who was wrongly self-deleted years ago. Machman has his own personality and memories, but he shares some of his predecessor's memories, battle skills, and temperament. Machman also bore a striking resemblance to the original Machman.EXE. Years later, he ended up meeting a fragment of the MkI that he didn't absorb all those years ago, during that time it slowly gained power by siphoning power from passing viruses and other programs as it lay in wait for Mach to return.

When Mach and his SPs did finally return to the scene of both of their "births," the spectral fragment attacked. At the end of the battle, the spectral fragment was destroyed along with Aera and Vector. MachMan was able to EJO, but the battle left his body riddled with tainted wounds, that eventually required both arms and legs to be amputated and replaced with mechanical prosthetics.


Personality: Machman's personality developed and changed slightly since his creation, then took a sharp turn after his encounter with his spectral "other half." At first he matured from a rather cocky "flyboy" to a calculating, and protective fighter. His protectiveness especially applied to his SPs, with whom he formed a very strong bond. His bond with Aera was particularly significant; Mach was devoted to her, and her to him. He professed his love to her at one point, and though they were seemingly "joined at the hip," their relationship didn't fully blossom in a romantic sense. His SPs' demise at the hands of the spectre filled him with bitterness, remorse, and unrelenting fury. With no one else to protect, his approach has become even more offense-oriented, and no longer shies away from brutality to achieve his objectives.

Machman's trust in his NetOp, Mazer, was previously unwavering; he almost never questioned Mazer's decisions, mainly because he simply had the same idea in mind. He became a little more distant from his NetOp since the introductions of Aera and Vector, though the trust remained. With his SPs destroyed, his trust in his NetOp degraded significantly; he partially blamed him for the loss of his compatriots, and the relationship between them had become much more tumultuous.

In combat, Mach tends to be more aggressive than most, but said aggression is refined and sharpened to forge a very surgical fighting machine. His combat strategy taps into his primary skill: speed. Drawn-out battles are much more taxing on him, and prefers a lightning-fast assault to eliminate the enemy before they even have time to react. He tries to utilize everything he can use to destroy the enemy as quickly as possible. Without the need to protect his now deceased SPs, he can fully utilize his own abilities to decimate his foes without hesitation or fear of collateral damage.


Buster: When activated, Mach's fingers extend outwards from their knuckles and slide back over the top if his hands to reveal a rectangular buster barrel that fires high-velocity solid projectiles. It makes very little noise when fired, and barely a flicker of a muzzle flash.
