MechWarrior Bodrick Thompson "Blaster"
Line Trooper in the Iron Dingoes
Description:
MechWarrior Bodrick Tomphson, or Blaster was a Regular Mech Pilot, with few other skills outside his Mech beyond working his way through the unit’s Mech-Bunnies. He piloted his ancestral WHM-6R Warhammer, “Master”.
Bio:
Inheriting his WHM-6R Warhammer from his father, Blaster managed to make his way to the Mech-Dueling circuit of Salager’s Arena, only to find the local forces had been devastated in an ill-fated encounter with * “The Iron Dingoes”. He demanded the Dingoes hire him, and after proving his skills in a test, he was hired on a standard “Leash” contract of one year.
Having completed his term of residence with the Iron Dingoes, he took his pay and his refurbished Mech with him, and left the unit in System – Promise, planning to make his way with that mercenary-loving nation.
In May of 3021, having tired of Riot Control contracts in System-State – “The Unity of Promise” for the last sixteen (16) months, Blaster returned to Terramatrix , and discovered his old employers were in-system. They offered him another “Leash” contract, and he continues to once more serve the Line Mechs of the Dingoes.
He eventually took a girlfriend in the form of a former barmaid from the western mining camps, Lolita Vergara. She still lives as a dependent in Garrison, though her family are miners and farmers from the nearby highlands region along the Blue Mountains foothills, and holds an important position among its general administrative staff.
In late-3031, after serving during the extended contract in the 4th Succession War and a short pirate-hunting contract into the Periphery, he was promoted to full MechWarrior serving the Line force.
During the ill-fated encounter with the 9th and 10th Ghost regiments during the War of 3039 on Elidere IV, he and his beloved Mech were destroyed.
