Penno Spada

Penno ( サパダ ペンノ ) is a South-Eastern Sergal born on Earth prior to its destruction.

Appearance
Penno was born in the year 29xx, to Tal immigrants to the planet Earth.

He stands at around 5'11'', adorned with Sage green eyes, and two-tone sand fur and black colour points.

Between his parents, he was born with Hybrid Vigor, his body stature different than most Sergals, noticeably in his legs. His muscle fibres are also very dense, leaving him less bulky than his Eastern father.

Biography
A Sergal born and raised on Earth, his family was a part of the immigration of the races of Tal to neighboring planets. With his family's arrival to Earth, they immersed themselves in the cultures, donning the surname of 'Spada' to uphold his father's veteran status.

Surrounded by his parents and the many races of Earth, he grew up among the melting pot of Humanity, Tal, and other races. The strong upbringing had a positive effect on him, making him only act out when not knowing the correct way to act.

When it came to other races, he was treated no different, only when in company of his peers that his physical attributes were noticed and ostracized. This was not much a deterrent, having his father's will and holding his head high throughout his primary education.

Upon graduation, he applied and eventually was accepted to the Protectorate Academy, wanting to literally expand his horizons.

Tech:
 * Double-Jump Module: Basic tech first bestowed upon Penno, it allows him to reach higher vertical places.
 * Magnet Grip: An added feature to the Double-Jump Module, the upgrade gives the user temporary grip to flat surfaces. Not necessarily metal surfaces, however.
 * Dash Module: Basic tech first bestowed upon Penno, it increases the speed at which he moves for a limited time.
 * Phase-Sprint: An upgraded form of the Dash Module, it causes the user's particles to flux in the material plane, letting them phase through short spans of matter.


 * Limiter Removal: ( リミッターの取り外し ) With the help of Dr. Nostradame, tech was created that allows the user to achieve 100% muscle usage. The only time limit is the strain on the user's muscles, endurance exponentially decreasing over time.
 * War Path 100%: ( 戦場 100% ) Combing the strengthening properties of the War Path Power Armor and the Limiter Removal, heightened feats of strength are achieved, pushing the power of the user far beyond their natural capacity.

Equipment
Modified Armors: Penno has access to a full range of armors that have been redesigned with his legs in mind, making them inaccessible to any other Sergal. Weapons: ￼Hierophant (Ship): Penno's ship is an old captured Shigu ship that his father was able to buy from the government. A lot of the ships that had been captured had not been inventoried, and this lead to a lot of hidden supplies being discovered as it was being restored. Chariot (AI): The main AI of the Hierophant, he was developed to aid the crew in the second iteration of the ship. Able to manage many systems autonomously, he becomes a vital part of the team.
 * High Temperature Ceramic: After getting the ship in running order, this set was created after 3-D scanning the old armor set and printing off one modified to fit Penno.
 * "Imperfect" Ceramic: First found within the confines of their ship, the set pretty much fits him except for the lower leg portions.
 * Protectorate Alloy Armor: An upgraded version of the Ceramic Armor, this set was made with a light alloy and has a more protective under armor that guards against light projectiles and the elements.
 * Astaro Suit: The Astaro Suit is specifically designed for Sergals in an EVA environment. Insulated against the vacuum of space, this armor can also withstand fluid pressure up to a certain depth, an on-board air supply keeping the user alive.
 * War Path Power Armor: ( 戦闘力の鎧 ) Salvaged from an old Shigu Warship, this armor originated as an experimental power armor to rival the Tech that the opposition had. The project was terminated and removed to isolated storage. When recovered by Penno's crew, it was refitted to make use of Protectorate Tech, greatly enhancing the user's body for timed intervals.
 * Energy Blade: The first energy melee weapon crafted with the new printer, its hilt size lets it be carried easily while the blade is inactive.
 * Anti-Matter Blade: An upgraded form, the energy output practically tripled.
 * F5 Energy Rifle: Standard energy rifle with a mounted flashlight attachment.
 * The ship has been upgraded many times, used as a base for expansions into larger forms. Over time, it transforms from a small capacity ship into that of a proper star cruiser.
 * Upon looking through its cargo, old pieces of armor as well as a Shigu fabricator were found.

Ruined Dreams Arc
Graduation came at a price, having watched the planet he called home crack and shatter around him. He and Alex got into their ship and managed to escape the atmosphere, just barely making it past the blast radius of the remnants of Earth.

Lost and floating through space with limited supplies, they manage to find a habitable planet, pulling into orbit in order to find food among the sparce areas of oasis vegetation. He stumbles upon a lush valley, able to spot the top of a Gate. This leads Alex and him to The Outpost, meeting up with Esther in front of The Ark.
