"This better be a challenge."
Ram is an armored juggernaut- a human tank reinforced with an experimental exosuit. A former combat engineer, he lost both his arms in a battle and replaces them with high-tech robotized prosthetics. Ram is an energetic daredevil who fears nothing and lives each day as his last.
Bio
From a young age, Mason demonstrated fearlessness, if not recklessness. Motorbike racing, rafting, paragliding – he was always up for the challenge, and never backed away from a fight. After school, he tried several professions, but none brought him the desired level of adrenaline. At 24 the young man enlisted in the US Marines, and after basic training, chose to undergo combat engineer training. From 2020 to 2024, under call sign ‘Ram’, he participated in special operations of the US military in Syria, Yemen, and Somalia. During one of the missions, he failed to disarm a mine, and it went off, severely injuring both of his hands. The forearms had to be amputated.
Mason could not make peace with his disability, and decided to bring back his normal life, no matter the cost. He learned about an experimental military program of advanced combat prosthetics, and volunteered. After a series of arm injuries, he was reinstated in service. During the following three years, Ram participated in field tests, and learned to control his new, improved limbs. By 2027, the prosthetics became a fully functional replacement for his lost forearms. After the test identified him as V-positive, he committed himself to Shellguard’s cause without a moment’s hesitation.
Personality
Ram is an energetic daredevil, for whom scaling a mountain (or jumping off one with a para-glider) is as easy as riding a bike. He fears nothing and lives each day as his last. If Mason flies into a rage, it is best to move aside.
