F.M. Sinn

**F.M. Sinn** is a UEDF field scientist who is known for his eccentric behavior and wide range of skills.

## Background

F.M. Sinn came from what could be best described as a colourful background. His parents were among the scientific teams who worked on the reconstruction of the SDF-1 and were deeply immersed in plumbing its secrets. Even then, there were rumours that one of them was connected to a secret scientific society dating back to the Cold War, but this may have just been hyperbole. F.M. Sinn was a brilliant child, and powered through his education. As a part of his tertiary education, he managed to land a role at the Robotech Research Centre on Macross Island.

He was among those onboard the SDF-1 during its launch, and was essentially inducted into its scientific and technical crews. During that time he studied numerous fields including medicine, electrical engineering, advanced communications, mechatronics, astronavigation and Destroid operations. He saw considerable action as a part of the crew, doing his part to keep the ship and its advanced systems operational. It is said that he got lost in more unexplored parts of the ship than anyone else on-board.

During the reconstruction, F.M. Sinn was assigned to field operations, providing technical services and support for UEDF combat units. His role was to help decipher Zentraedi technology and any artefacts (Zentraedi or otherwise) that might be found in wrecked ships. Likewise, his role was extended to also study the after-effects of the Zentraedi bombardment on the ecology and the way it was regenerating. He took to field work with aplomb, in as far as he conducted most of his operations from the cockpit of a Tomahawk Destroid.

After a brief reassignment to take part in an advanced training program, Sinn was reassigned to a forward duty squad based in Nevada and operating around the ruins of Las Vegas. There he took part in engagements with not only Zentraedi malcontents, but also bandits, insurgents, drunken duck hunters and other malefic actors.

## Personality

The best way to describe F.M. Sinn would be as 'eccentric'. He is undeniably brilliant, as evidenced by the multiple fields that he seems to be well-versed in. He enjoys studying a situation or discovery, and learning as much about it as possible, considering his options carefully before he acts. He is able to speak with authority on numerous subjects, but it is just as possible that he is a genuine expert as it is that he is making everything up as he goes along. He has an excellent memory, and can recall even the most minute detail of something that he has studied.

However, he is also very much given to unusual solutions to problems that may not actually be the best outcome to anyone but himself. For example, when unable to raise an incoming unidentified armed helicopter, he elected to launch fire-retardant missiles at it. That move neither resolved the situation nor de-escalated tensions, but F.M. Sinn insisted that it was the right thing to do because he was a scientist. This situation was merely typical of his problem-solving technique.

## Weapons and Equipment

As a scientist, F.M. Sinn liked to ensure that he was well-prepared at all times for any situation that might occur. He carried a large collection of tools with him at all times, and always seemed to have the right one at the right time. He further aided his field activities by rarely going anywhere without his signature bright yellow Hostile Environment Suit. He took to wearing it in the field, even in friendly territory or around the house. He usually carried an M-37 "Weasel" Pistol for defence.

Despite his role as a field scientist, F.M. Sinn was fully trained to operate a Tomahawk Destroid and, more to the point, frequently did such. While it was not his primary area of specialty by any means, he proved to be a remarkably accurate shot with its Particle Cannons. Of course, why he had access to the Destroid in the first place was another matter.
