Biography:
With the passing of OE-0021, the people of Europe spent their New Years counting down the clock to another year of earthnoid prosperity under the Directory. Meanwhile, miles above the clouds, Joe’s father spent his in a small box floating aimlessly through space, counting down the minutes of oxygen he had left.

The aftermath of the OE-0021 rebellion left Joe’s dad forever a mentally fractured man via oxygen deprivation, and left young Joe himself hellbent on vengeance against his homeland’s government. As soon as he was old enough, he enlisted into the rebellion, thrusting himself into the back and forth war of the colonies and the Directory. Eventually, he grew mellow to war, even learning to enjoy it’s thrills and use them as motivation.

The Sundering War brought about another change in Joe's life; The introduction, adoption, and birth of the Starseeker Combine. With these new allies, the colonies had more firepower than ever, Joe even being assigned to pilot a test unit. But, being on the colonial branch of the Combine, Joe held his doubts on the alien side of the circles intention's, along with those of the committee itself, taking notes from his father's fate in OE-0021.

But, all in all, these questions were at the back of mind. As long as he could pass retribution on the Directory, he’d be willing to at least try to work with them. Hell, it might even be fun.

Mobile Weapon: Garmraid
Affiliation: Starseeker Combine

Combat Style: "Dynamic"
Strengths:
Surprisingly enough, Joe’s complete lack of self-regard is sometimes channeled to good use. His recklessness allows him all to carry out even the most dangerous tasks fast and in an explosion melee attacks. The trade-off for such thrills and results is his own body, leaving himself and his MW triumphantly in shambles.
Weaknesses:
Unsurprisingly, Thrill Junkie Joe’s “tactical” disregard of his well-being can quickly backfire, putting him, missions, and even teammates in jeopardy. There did come a solution however. An A.I., serving copilot to Joe, handicaps Garmraid to an extent where Joe’s antics won’t cause as much collateral damage and keep repair costs low. Sequentially, with Joe’s refusal to step off his little thrill ride just so a partner can “keep up”, it seems the handicap won’t be leaving anytime soon (To the relief of his peers).

History:
Before the threat of the EOE, the mega-superpower formally known as the United Earth Sphere Alliance launched the Tsentr Project; experimenting with TE energy to create new units without the need of fuel or energy. With the threat of the ES wave and the discovery of EOT, the project faced sudden abandonment, dropping all TE research In favor of the far more stable and ready EOT. The prototype’s either fell into shady hands or seemingly disappeared.

How the Circle managed to smuggle the MW is a mystery, but how it got there was of little concern to Joe. The Garmraid was a super robot specializing in melee combat powered by an experimental and powerful Terminus engine. Due to the engine’s unstable properties and lack of a second pilot, An A.I. handicap was placed to monitor and copilot it. Even with this, the Garmraid was just the vessel Joe needed to exact his rage on the Directory
