Forum Username: Felix Sparks
Driver Name: "Allen"
Base Data: Allen is a sentient AI. Yes, I'm going there. He's three years old, no recorded height or weight. His programming takes about 20 terrabytes though.
Character Description: Allen, when he shows off his AI form, appears as the head of an old man, with no hair, and silver eyes. It's kind of spooky how life-like it looks... When he opens his mouth to speak, code can be see inside his mouth and down what little of a throat he has.
Biography: Allen was originally designed as the AI-LEARN, a complimentary piece of software to be installed in the "Chariot" project line of Mecha to assist new pilots in learning the ropes of piloting. As the project continued, the AI-LEARN was introduced to many ideas, and taught many techniques, to the point where he was able to become self-aware. No one at the facility could be found afterwards, so it's unsure if this was done on purpose, or happened solely by accident. Allen named himself shortly after gaining sentience and seeing his console covered in papers which obscured the writting to look like his current name. Having already been installed in "Chariot", he took off into the reaches of space, not caring for the scientists anymore.
Allen is an interesting AI. Since he was taught not only about war, but compassion and love, he could probably pass for human if he wanted to. As it is, he usually just pilots Big Al around, more interested in exploring the galaxy and learning than blending in with society. He'll help people if they can teach him something, or he thinks he can learn from observing them.
How did Allen end up in the dump? Funny story. The power panel on his back got damaged, and the dump was the closest thing available. At the moment, he can't do much more than talk and bat things away, and his solar-power collection unit isn't functioning properly. If it gets repaired, he could probably walk and get to fixing himself. For now, he sits and waits for someone with enough skill, parts, or ingenuity to come along...
Mech Affinity: 100% Affinity. He IS the Mech.

Mech Production Name: A-1730 (Pronounced "A- One Seven Thirty")
Mech Nickname: Official Project name: "Chariot" Allen's name for it: "Big Al"
Base Data: The suit itself is about 6'0" tall, and weighs about 370 pounds.
Mech description: The "Chariot" model Mech was designed to be used by whoever came across it, regardless of race, culture, or sexuality, if that matters. That's why Allen was created, to teach anyone to use the suit. It can be used for near anything the user can imagine, offense, defense, support, repairs, all is possible. The A-1730 has a few slots for tools and weapons, which can be switched out for other parts as needed. Beyond anything else, the A-1730 is an adaptive combat suit, which would have been great had the lab behind it ever finished. As it is, only the prototype exists, and the lab disappeared from public records some two years back. The suit itself can run on either Solar, Hydro, or Electric power, allowing it to be used in a multitude of circumstances. It is most effective while on Solar power, while barely functional on Hydro power unless completely submerged, like fighting in the ocean. As it is a prototype, it cannot be perfect. There is a large glowing panel on the back, when, if damaged, reduces the amount of energy the suit can store. If struck with enough force at the base of the spine, the suit will lock up and getting out will be impossible until the suit is fixed. It also doesn't have a very large oxygen supply, so if sealed it will only hold enough for normal human consumption for an hour and a half, two hours at the very limit. The armor on the "Chariot" is rather thick, but lacks in movement speed and flexibility because of it.
Special details: As a prototype, no true "Base Form" exists. Over time, the machine has adapted to having Allen as the pilot, and would likely reject an organic pilot unless something happened to Allen. Even then, half the controls would be locked since the physical controls haven't been touched in so long they might be faulty or dangerous. Allen routed most of the programming and movement of Big Al to his own programming, so if something happens to one, the other will also be damaged.
