Biography:


Hedwig Hickory was born to Elwood and Minnie Hickory, nearly two decades after they had settled on the red rock. The owners of The Old Hickory, the crematorium found in Opportunity City, young Hedy was raised surrounded by the dead- physically and spiritually. Growing up, the young girl always thought that she could hear voices coming from within the walls of the crematorium, whispering names and cries of anguish from it’s cremation chambers. The young girl was very quickly heavily medicated by her parents, in what seemed like a genuine attempt to curb what were seemingly schizophrenic episodes.


At age eighteen, her parents had figured that it was time to introduce their daughter to the real family business: Serving Shiva Volkruss through the development of the Ritual Convertor, part of a mobile weapon they had hoped would be able to allow them to overtake Mars by consuming the souls of the dead. Figuring their daughter would simply follow along like the good daughter they had raised her to be, Hedwig immediately went about planning to stop their plans.


Instead of being grateful like they had expected, the young psychic was reasonably furious. For years she had been drugged up for an illness she evidently didn’t have, and her parents were apparently entirely aware of this fact.

Although in the end, she may have actually been kind of crazy after all.

Old Hickory would burn down briefly after Hedy’s nineteenth birthday, her parents bodies never recovered. Hedwig herself was pulled from the building by their neighbors, seemingly having no recollection of the day herself. From that day forward, she has taken on the work of Undertaker of Opportunity, happily doing the work that her parents decided to fuck around with. And of course, learning and converting the Ritual Convertor with the help of some of those dead.


Mobile Weapon: Raveraid


Affiliation: Mars


Combat Style: Hodgepodge

Strengths: Hedy is able to switch tactics and styles on the fly, by allowing one of the souls that inhabit the cockpit to assist by temporarily taking over her body. She is able to adapt to situations very easily, so long as one of her spirits has an understanding of the situation.

Weaknesses: Controlling the Raveraid without any assistance is taxing on Hedy at this point, and she often requires a second person in the cockpit to make up for her own inexperience and to take over if need be.

Name: Magda Logden

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Height: 5’4

Weight: 152

Eye Color: Dull pink

Hair Color: Black

“So, I haven’t made a journal entry in a couple of years. My bad.”

“Last time I had made an entry, I was just about to raid a Directory installation, steal some experimental drive and deliver it to a middleman in the colonies. That was a complete bust. Turns out what I stole was just a fancy tesla drive, that some investors were trying to pass off as some innovation. The middleman refused to believe that his guy could have given him bad information, and so the bastard knocked me out, stole my mobile weapon and just dumped me off on Mars of all places.”

“I have to wonder if anyone even noticed I was gone. But things aren’t all that bad. Not exactly a wanted criminal here, and I even have a job, until I can get back in contact with… Well, I guess Endymion now. Not sure if you guys would take me back. In the meantime, I’ve been staying with this town's undertaker, and she’s… Cute. Has some kind of mobile weapon stored in an underground hangar, that I’ve been teaching her how to operate. Could be worse. Could be dead.”



Mobile Weapon: Raveraid (Co-Pilot)


Affiliation: Independent, Currently


Combat Style: Duelist

Strengths: Magda is a skilled swordswoman and a competent pilot in her own right, although it doesn’t translate as well as it did with a Motion Tracking System. It does give her far better reflexes than most, allowing her to take over and pull the Raveraid out of harms way when she needs to.

Weaknesses: While her defenses were severely lacking previously, her ability to pilot is severely hampered by the lack of a MTS, and thus is not at her full capacity in the Mobile weapon.


Code Name: Raveraid (ReActive Vital Energy RAIDer)

Manufacturer: Cult of Volkruss

Operator: Hedy Hickory and Magda Logden

Power Source: Ritual Convertor

Modifications: The only notable difference from this to the standard Raveraid is that the Cockpit is instead a modified PT training cockpit, to accommodate two pilots.
