Just wanted to post a few things here. In this journal are PC characters that are a part of Cheng's canon Ironlock. Browse through them, if you want to play with em that would make me happy. If no one's interested the plot bunny will murder them off screen. Enjoy the read folks.
Bao Hua Heng
The Daughter of Zheng Yi Heng, the late Chairman/General of the State of Gucun, and one of the few members of the now crumbled State’s government who lived after its collapse thanks to the sacrifice of Huang Li Kwan. She seeks to rebuild the state to its former glory, along with everything that implies. She is a woman of firebrand conviction, and immense viciousness. If people are not with her then they are either against her or dead, and usually the first leads to the second. Because of her old family ties and military experience a number of Gucun Loyalists had remained under her command.
In Ironlock standalone canon she uses the memory of Cheng’s family as well as a good number of his teammates who stuck by the old establishment to emotionally blackmail him into serving alongside her troops, using him as a figurehead despite his obviously just adequate skills compared to his brothers.
Bao Hua pilots a heavily modified blood-red Blindsight Sniper/Comm&Cont CF that allows her to track even the most minute movements of her own troops and link her Frame’s sensors with their own essentially allowing her to “see” what they “see”.
Xiang Yun Chan
Nicknamed “Feng-Huang” (The King of all Birds in Chinese Mythos) Xiang Yun was a fighter-pilot turned Combat Frame pilot. His relations with the new unit he was attached to was less than cordial in the beginning (due to them formerly being infantry or members of the tank battalions), but eventually they worked well as a cohesive unit thanks to the efforts of the unit’s leader Lieutenant Li Shao Hu.
Xiang Yun is one of the few pilots to have been able to push the sole flight-capable CF to its limits without having the machine explode on him. He is a man proud of his ability, proud of his machine and more than often has a snappy comment to toss at those he regards as “lesser mortals”. Despite this arrogance, those that worked with him knew he earns his keep and often humoured his many boasts.
As Gucun fell apart and the death of Li Shao in the field, Xiang Yun deserted and fled from Gucun after faking his own death – bitterly detonating his own Osprey CF in order to cover his escape. He makes his living now as a pilot for hire, drifting from merc group to merc group. Xiang Yun pilots a distinctively painted orange Osprey CF (having purchased, refurbished and customised a relatively decent one that was not in too many pieces) that features additional boosters as well as light-weight weapons from out of the state that would mesh with his high- speed strafing attacks.
Yong Lin
An orphan who had nothing more than her name and the rags on her back, she walked out of the slums of Gucun to enlist in the State Army rather than wallow in the worst parts of the State and waiting for the worst to happen. Yong Lin was one of the top students at the Academy despite her immense disadvantage in terms of book-learning. Numerous scars mar her athletic build from the sheer amount of brutal lessons and vicious training regimens she endured.
Her candidacy for the CF Pilot program was originally turned aside for more well connected soldiers in the military. But with several washouts from the program, the cast-offs found themselves in the pilot seats – few managing to do better than those they replaced. As time passed Yong Lin became a part of the Long Liao Ya (known to outsiders as the Dragon Fangs) who had been an elite Combat Frame battle-group led by Huang Li Kwan.
As the riots and the various inter-group conflicts raged across Gucun the Long Liao Ya were forced to divide into several groups in order to evacuate numerous officials and abandon the State. When Huang Li’s death was confirmed and several of the other Long Liao Ya squads were cut down, Yong Lin took the reins of command and led the remainder of the Battle Group as well as the V.I.P.s in their care in a brutal escape action.
Currently Yong Lin and a few of the remaining Long Liao Ya pilots work as mercenaries. Yong Lin pilots a Green Long-Blade CF that was designed for mid-to-close range combat and has been modified with parts from various non-CF machines to expand on its abilities. The Long Liao Ya have similarly modified their machines and are mainly made up of armor reinforced Long-Blade CFs.
An Shen Duan
A relatively green pilot who had fought alongside Yong Lin during the breakout from Gucun, An Shen had been the son of a factory worker and a crop-tender (not Farmer, because the farm would actually have to belong to him) who had dreams of rising above his station and perhaps becoming a member of the Military Council, or even better one of the Chairman/General’s honour guard.
Despite this naiveté, which had no doubt been the object of much scorn by his fellows in the academy AND the military he had turned out to be a surprisingly capable soldier, and more importantly he had shown the most patriotic fervour when compared to many others who had been alongside him.
However his dreams were dashed as Gucun tore itself to ribbons. An Shen is now a homesick young man who longs to find some way to transform Gucun back into the glorious place he saw in his childhood.
In Ironlock Standalone canon An Shen would actually be the Protagonist, not Cheng. Then again I would like to mention that in Ironlock standalone canon, practically everyone dies and Gucun doesn’t even warrant a historical footnote after the last battle between the remaining factions who want to build it up in the image they desire.
