  PERSONALITY: Hot-blooded. Optimistic to the highest extent, Zakari is a motivator to everyone around him. The man has a ravenous, almost insane drive to achieve greatness in every aspect of his being - and as a result, his outlandish behavior often conflicts with cold-hard rational standpoints of others. The man is an undetterable idealist. His hunger for freedom as well as his knack of winning conflicts could be seen as infectious. Zakari is extremely friendly, and genuinely feels like his rightful place is fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.

  PROFICIENCY: Tends to win fights despite the fact that he has no hand-to-hand experience. Zakari is decently intelligent, but excels with strategic guidance. He is truly a team player, with the intention to get out of battles with as many survivors on his side as possible. Zakari is the kind of person who will willingly fling himself into the midst of battle to take primary attention off of his comrades. The young man truly has nothing to live for, so he takes pride in being able to have something to die for.
  
  OCCUPATION: Bodyguard - for - hire.

  Originally born in France, Zakari is well-known with being associated as an 'outsider'. His skin is olive, already an indicator of his minority status. For a majority of his life, his family traveled across Europe and America. His parents were musicians - his grandmother was a fortune teller, his uncle and cousins worked in various trades. His family was traditionally gypsy to the point of being able to speak Romani. As time went on, he adopted many of the same ideologies as his family.This includes the Gypsy taboo, consisting of the ideology that the lower-half of the body is contaminated at all times. The entirety of his upper torso, not including his neck up or his arms, has been tattooed with his family's tribal markings since the age of twelve.
  
  
  Eventually, Zakari's desire to live a normal life caused his family to ostracize him, before eventually casting him out in California. When he was expelled from the community at the age of sixteen, and has lived in Los Angeles ever since. At first, he lived the life of a homeless boy - stealing what was necessary on a need basis. Eventually, he was offered a job as a bodyguard for a popular singer. A month's salary gave Zakari enough money to live on for multiple years. So despite his inexperience with fighting, the physicality of his nature was enough to allow Zakari the ability to perform his job well. Eventually, he changed his last name to 'Beck' in hopes that it would help his employment chances.
  
  
  Zakari moved into an apartment with one person all ready living with it. He was a part of a local rebel movement. This same man helped teach Zakari how and why it was important to fight. For a couple of years, Zakari stuck with the small resistance which was eventually killed off after their base of operations was ambushed. Zakari was the only survivor. The young man then latched on to a another resistance group, one which was based in Los Angeles and had started up fairly recently.
  
  
  Rege, the mech Zakari uses, was obtained from the black market. With a pair of rigged dice, he swindled it off of a man who had just previously obtained it in a drug deal. Unbeknownst to Zakari, the model is actually an older version of Jade's mech with various attachments, like jet propulsion and vibrating blades.
  
  
  

Mech Type:

Rege is a hybrid mech. Though it was not originally Zakari's mech, nor was it ever intended to be his, it happens to be a mech designed and created by the great mind of John Rhea - Jade's father. It is slender in build, capable of moving fast in and out of combat. An armored skirt around the waste protects from low attacks. Energy is transferred through the mech's eyes - the same energy which also extends to its weapons. The colors of the mech are black and orange. There are two enlarged parts on the back, which exist for jet propulsion. Rege opens vertically, with its front and back both detaching in order for the pilot to get in. Zakari operates by looking through the head of the mech, which is impossible to see into but completely transparent on the inside. It is the same size as most hybrid mecha, but has the unique ability to transform into a liger form. This replacesthe 'walker mode' capability.


Mech Capabilities:

• Shield: Energy shield which can be expanded and contracted on command. The smaller the shield the stronger it is, larger shields tend to be weaker.
  
• Environmental Awareness: Has a system of sensors which alert to any in coming enemies and objects, the radius expands 10 ft and will advise evasive moves and counter measures.
  
• Blasters: Extremely tiny plasma beams developed to deliver high energy blasts at close to medium range. They are emitted through tiny pockets in the fingertips. It's essentially a buck-shot. In order for an energy bullet to be dispensed with the proper amount of energy displaced, it would need to be condensed down and stabilized. With undulating double vortices rings, the energy is kept stabilized and cycled through a condensed line shape while being pushed through the pockets.
  
• EMP: A direction-conducted blast which affects the other mech. It completely shuts down the other mech's systems for up to a minute depending on the type of system capabilities existing within the other mech. Capabilities exist by use of a small launcher on both arms. A harpoon effect then takes place, with the actual EMP being emitted through the chain of the harpoon. This allows Rege to remain unaffected.
  
• Enhanced Speed System: Boosters on the back of the shoulders and feet allow for a faster base speed. Allows for more stability while at high speeds ranging from 100-200 mph while keeping reactions and mobility.
  
• Dual Energized Vibration Blades: Using conduction of energy to transfer it through a hidden blade (which is already tempered to those energies), and using high speed vibrations to super-heat the object it makes contact with at a rate faster than the material you are cutting to cope with. Thus, cutting edge has more energy than the surface can distribute.
