Star Captain Christopher Hazen
Created by GM Ryan
Background:
Christopher had the makings of a ristar from early in life. He consistently ranked at the top of his sibko in physical trials, preferring hand-to-hand combat over ranged weaponry, and immediately excelled when they entered mech training. He planned for his Trial of Position for many weeks prior, obsessing over which weapons or variants to use. This caused his final scores to fall somewhat, but his research oriented view of the mech exercises instilled a deep respect for particle cannons in the Falcon cadet. Christopher settled on a dual PPC layout for his Trial Summoner, aiming to use mobility and range to minimize the damage to his own machine and thus have the staying power to take down multiple opponents. His plan worked for the most part, and he finished off the initial Hellbringer with minimal damage. However, his strategy hit a snag when his second opponent cleared the hill. It was a Warhawk. Up to this point, Christopher had considered assault mechs too slow to suit his interests, but the other warrior was about to give him a nasty surprise. Obviously experienced in the chassis, his opponent as able to mitigate his own damage somewhat while consistently dishing it back with twice Christopher�s number of particle cannons. The exchanges forced him to close distance, and left his mech in tatters. As his Summoner stood over his fallen foe, Christopher gasped for breath, his mech�s heat level slowly falling and his cockpit bathed in crimson light from damage indicators. His third opponent, a Gargoyle crested the ridge, but the new Star Commander knew it was a hopeless battle, so instead of wasting more resources in a hopeless skirmish, he signaled his defeat and punched out.
Physical Description:
Whatever the Inner Sphere physical stereotype of a Clanner might be, Star Captain Christopher Hazen likely fills all its primary points. His muscular two meter tall frame belies his almost unbelievable speed, and it is rumored that he once bested an Elemental in a Circle of Equals. Hazen keeps his blonde hair short, but refuses to shave bald the neurohelmet contact points.
Personality:
Cristopher Hazen is always cool and rational. Like his punches, Hazen�s outbursts occur and vanish with the swiftness of a particle cannon discharge and typically hurt just as much. Unlike most Clan warriosr, especially his fellow Jade Falcons, Hazen views many of his Clan�s policies as �flexible.� While this policy lent itself handily to his earlier successes, it hampered his career after he won his Bloodname. Hazen�s codex average out to lackluster, and he remained at the rank of Star Captain. After the Truce at Tukkayid, he was merely the next name on a list of officers to be shuffled off to garrison duties. Goat Path was a coincidence, but the planet�s minuscule defensive force and virtual worthlessness occasionally causes Hazen to suspect he somehow displeased someone higher up in the Tourman.
