Metalneck

Metalneck is the MARS-550 piloted by Jennifer Chase, created as a separate character by Lawman on July 2003.
==OOC History==
Given the sentience possessed by the Mobile Police's MARS-550s, it was only a matter of time before the creator of Jennifer Chase had the idea of creating Metalneck as a separate character.
==Fictional Character Biography==
Like all his MARS compatriots, Metalneck began his existence after being assembled and activated inside a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. However, it is only after Jennifer Chase was assigned to Metalneck as a pilot did his personality start to develop.
Metalneck's calm and reliable personality can be seen as a foil to Jennifer's more fiery disposition. A strong empathic bond exists between the two, and their friendship is often talked about in the Mobile Police as a thing of legend, as indeed, no officer to date has ever managed to forge such a close-knit bond with their MARS.
==Powers and Abilities==
Metalneck's powers come from the myriad weapons and sensor systems built into his armored frame, specially reinforced to withstand all but the fiercest of assaults. Depending on assignment, it can include anything ranging from lasers to positron rifles. In addition, Metalneck can always count on Jennifer Chase's piloting and marksmanship skills to complement his targeting and sensor systems.
==Equipment==
Regardless of assignment, Metalneck has several systems that are a mainstay. These include ion thrusters for flight, a radar system, a thermal imaging system, and a plasma rifle with an under-barrel grenade launcher. Weapon systems are also built into sections of his armor, some of which include a pair of missile launchers built into his shoulders, two head-mounted machine guns, a laser built into the left forearm, and a vibro-blade built in the right forearm, although they largely vary according to assignments.
