Trident Armaments Corperation: Blitzkrieg Development Team Active Members.

Background: Jarod grew up on a rural colony. His father was a combination farmer and mechanic. Jarod a VF cadet suffered an accident that left him without the use of his right arm. Discharged he studied to become a mecha designer. Although his arm has fully recovered, he acts as though it is still injured to through others off guard.

Interests: Mecha, mecha, and oh yeah, mecha. He really enjoys driving his car. Really fast... And girls are a close second to that.

Background:

Scott was born on Eden in 2027, and he was the only child his parents ever dared to have. They were both attorneys, and they never really seemed to have much time for him, leaving his rearing to the family nanny. As a young child he already showed a keen interest in mechanical objects, taking apart the toilet at the age of three. His interest in complex mechanical items only increased over the following years, culminating with his disassembly of the family car痴 engine at the age of eight. This would not have been too much of an issue (He was able to reassemble it, and increase its fuel efficiency and performance in the process.), except that his father missed an important trial and was dismissed from the firm that he worked for at the time. His parents immediately enrolled him in a special school for gifted youth.

He applied for a Corporate Design School sponsorship, and was accepted by Trident Armaments in their program on Earth. His parents shipped him off without a second thought, only a cheerful wave and farewell.

Once in school, he was truly challenged for the first time in his life, and his casual study ethic cost him. He washed out of the Variable design specialist portion of the course, and was forced to accept that he wasn稚 as bright as he had once believed. Scott accepted the position on the Blitzkrieg DBES team, even though he knew it would be based from a colony fleet. He calculated that a colony fleet would be much more likely to encounter hostile forces, and as such he would have a much easier time in getting his designs into action than he would on Earth, and that he would be able to gather far more first hand combat performance data to develop his creations to their maximum potential.

The family history can be traced as far back as the bloodline having been related to Janissary service on both sides of the family for around 2-3 generations thus the bloodline isn't fully Turkish. A portion being of Slav and Austrian primarily, and Danish more recently. He was born in a poor family but a happy childhood.

Grandfather-Retired Carpenter (72): Shakir
Father-Carpenter (deceased): Bursuq
Mother-Cleaning Lady (deceased): Asiya
Older Sister-Legal Assistant (29): Sajah

Attended higher education overseas in america through scholarship at 14 years old, eventually was unable to continue studies (father fell ill) until funded by a corporation which caught notice of him during a technology exposition where he was involved in developing a new concept modular robotic loading system which was funded by the university.

Being around his father and his work as a child, it felt natural to him to be around and do those kinds of things but he sought more than that. The creation of things of a mechanical nature intrigued him.

He mostly keeps to himself though there is a young lady he met named Amy Holden while working on his masters in chemistry whom he writes to often. Primarily a platonic relationship however. He's a bit introverted and clumsy socially, never being able to find something to say.

Honoring the tradition of the extended family, he takes care of his grandfather. He would take care of his sister as well since she hasn't married but she's more of a 'modern' bent and preffers to live on her own. This doesn't bother Sener as he isn't exactly traditional himself and always keeps a room for her if she ever decides to come by (which she does if only for a few days to visit and catch up on things.)

Notes: Refferred to as "Ibn Bursuq" (Son of Bursuq) by his grandfather only when he's irritated or angry. "Babar" (Lion) was nickname from childhood which stuck from the small town he grew up in. (will elaborate later)--> Ok this is later: When he was 9, Sener got into a bit of a scuffle with an older, bigger kid who was bullying some friends at the town center where a community fountain is located. Even though he didn't throw many punches and was taking a bit of a beating, he clung onto the bigger kid causing both of them to fall into the fountain. He managed to lever the advantage of being on top when they fell and didn't let the bigger kid go until he yielded. Thus he was dubbed by onlookers and the nickname stuck even as he got older as it's common courtesy not to reffer people by their first names anyways.

Though young for the field of development, Doctor(yes, he has a doctorate in biology/physiology) Shirokawa is a powerhouse in the field of up and coming technologies. At the age of 21, Doctor Shirokawa published three sepparate papers on micro-bionics, cybernetic rejection syndrome and brain-stem-casing systems. Al though none of his designs have hit the market, 80% of his work was immediately adopted by a variety of medical firms for development and R&D. However, this does not set Doctor Shirokawa apart from most of his classmates, all of them published and not more than a few of them with designs on the market and positions of their own. what sets Doctor Shirokawa apart from most of those people in his field was his `low` price. Most of his designs he gave away or donated to the firms that he believed were ethical and would likely see the products through to completetion. However, his generosity has seen him more than a little impovererished as he steps out into the working world, and his grants dissapeared as soon as he left the University enviroment.

Now, Doctor Shirokawa has seen a new future to persue, with his cybernetic and biologist background to explore new projects, the personal armor(hopefully, he thinks, leading to full robotic/androidal structures) industry. To those ends he intends to make alot of money on relatively low-end/cheaper designs to pursue his desire to develop passive and active AI systems and the fully comprehensive Androdal Human Replica.
