Pilot
Name: Aahna Dhawan (Aah-na Dah-won)
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Nationality: India (represent) - actual nationality not known she was from the 'Stocks' (a company that 'rents' other companies trained pilots)
Appearance: Regular height, body lean and tough, that of a trained soldier. Lightly tanned skin, usually wears long camo or sport pants and a shirt or tank top, not because she was raised a soldier but she finds them comfortable and easy to move around in.
Face kinda like this:
But with bright green/ember eyes.
Hair like this:
But usually messy and scruffy from being in the mecha.
Personality: Bought from the 'Stocks' (which is not exactly a pilot training company, more like a company that supplies other companies with trained manpower) by the Indian company as cheap merchandise (usually used as ground forces or 'regular soldier'.) When she was bought all she had was an id number, so was given a new name to go by (Aahna which means: 'to Exist', and Dhawan which means: 'Messenger in the field of battle').
Due to the extreme procedures required to become a pilot, and not to mention being raised as a soldier, many have their emotions suppressed, and it's because of this that Aahna fought to remain an individual and to be different from the other 'trained drones' (a continual battle) - which made her eccentric.
She sees things differently and thinks differently to other people, but even though of her eccentric tendencies she is still a soldier; disciplined, at attention, silent, speaks when spoken to and watchful. She is aware that she acts this way so she tries to be more interactive and outside-the-box, and maybe because of the difference between her personalities that when she is annoyed or angry she becomes fierce and sometimes savage in her rage. It was because she had her unique view and input, and strong battle skills that she was changed to be a pilots under-study, then the current mecha's pilot.

Frame
Model: Beast type - aquatic - 2 stage transformation (commonly know simply as 'Blue Tiger') But called 'Vajrayana', after one of the schools of Buddhism, but also for the meaning 'The tiger is a particularly apt symbol for wisdom and for the Vajrayana itself -- it can get you there, but could also eat you along the way.'
Weight Class: Initial speed is slow because of semi-heavy armour, but is built to sprint so when it picks up speed it can really get going. Is also built to have quick reflexes. Can move twice as fast in beast form. Extreamly fast in the water.
Design: Human form kinda like this:
But blue, black and gold, and with a whip clipped to its side.
Beast form is this body repositioned on all fours, head repositioned to face forward with the development of a lower jaw to form a mouth full of sharp razor fangs, and whip (explained below) reattached as a tail. Designed to move better in water.
Special Weapons: Tiger Tail Whip - (more usable in human form) Is an electric current whip with two settings, the first is with a high current setting used for attack that will burn or cut when it makes contact. The second is a lower current setting used to stun and restrict, can be wrapped around enemy to stop movement and restrain.
Fang scatter missile - (more usable in the water, only in beast form) Shoots fang like missiles from mouth, which after a certain distance burst into smaller, faster missiles that if hit, cuz they are so small and fast can puncture through almost anything, destroying the target from the inside.
Special Abilities: Has a beast form, in the form of a blue tiger, and keeping with the legend it is a water type mech.
Overview: When inside, pilot is in a 'ethriel' system/state, instead of levers or pedals to manover the mech the pilot is suspended in a 'zone' where the mech responds to the pilots thoughts and actions, and when transforms into the tiger form the pilot is positioned in a simular stance - like from the anime 'Reideen'.
