PERSONALITY
Dyre’s uninhibited youth has not diminished with his years. He is exuberant and jovial with most, and his anger is not often seen outside of battle. For all intents and purposes most that come across him at port would be surprised at his general pleasantness. However, that quality only extends so far. He will just as soon crack someone's skull as he would a joke if given cause, and it is for that reason that many who know him prefer to keep him in good spirits.

Dyre also has a reputation for being quite stubborn. When he sets his mind to something few can hope to change it until it proves to be a spectacular failure. This has created difficulties with authority figures in the past, particularly when he was in his youth. He is one who believes that respect is earned, not granted by a title. Along those same lines, he has about much tact and subtlety as one might expect from the pilot of a war-machine with more missile ports than he has fingers and toes. If he thinks it, he'll probably say it.

Dyre’s jovial nature often produces superficial relationships with many, but true comrades are hard to come by. He is not inclined to share the intimate details of his life with many. It is not so much that he thinks them unworthy, but, more often than not, he notes that few prove to be reliable enough to count on.

Once someone has earned Dyre’s respect or loyalty, there is little that can break it aside from betrayal. He will go above and beyond to see to it that those dear to him are taken care of, even if it means putting his own life in jeopardy. It is not as entirely selfless as it sounds. Experience has shown him that reliable companions are worth their weight in endo-steel, and twice as hard to come by as decent ale beyond FRR borders.

Morally, Dyre has no particular code or law that he seeks to observe. Like traditions, he may pay them heed from time to time when it suits him, but he is more likely to be led by his own moral compass than anything else. Although it may lead him in curious directions from time to time, make no mistake, profit is always his true north.

Nice, pumped to drop with you Sardonic.

Any word on when we're going to drop?

 

I submit that I would like to drop asap.

 

Looks like the 4th (next sat.) will be the earliest we can drop? I can be free anytime next Saturday.

 

I too shall make myself available. Though, I will say that I'd prefer late morning/early afternoon if that can be made to work for the collective whole. My wife and I will be heading out to eat and then go see Anchorman 2 afterwards.

 

So, I propose that we meet tomorrow at noon EST.

 

Missing the 2nd Griffin from the graveyard too. Strange. At least the day is ours and we can reclaim our fallen Banshee!

 

you guys are par for the course so far, Delta and Alpha both took a hammering.

great work on your victory!

 

My poor Crusader is naught but a crater.

 

As long as the CTs are still intact the mechs can be salvaged and repaired.

 

No, it is a confirmed crater. There is no CT. There is no head. There is no mech.
