Tor Stonecliff

Eblanese mecha ace.

As a half-human, half-dwarf, and a Provisional citizen, Tor Stonecliff suffered from extreme persecution in Eblanese society. Perhaps because of this, he sought to embrace Eblanese ideals such as bushido as much as possible; in some ways he is 'more Eblanese then the Eblanese'. Some might even say he's trying too hard. As a young man, a good-natured elderly sensei took Tor in and taught him about honor, swordsmanship, calligraphy, and other traditional Eblanese arts. Once service in the Eblanese Kingdom Armed Forces opened to provisionals, Tor enlisted and quickly proved himself adept at mecha combat. He currently holds the rank of Tai-Sa

Like all Muls, Tor is large, hairless, and very strong.

Tor pilots a Kuat Erinyes Walker in combat. The Erinyes is a high-speed, high agility unit, armed with a bazooka and a vibroblade; Kuat has begun producing a "katana-style" vibrosword specifically for the Eblanese market. Tor's mecha is identified by the Xsian characters for "One life for the King!", which perfectly describes Tor's feelings. Tor's years of practice with swordsmanship have made him a specialist in mecha close combat.

Winner of the second Robotics Tournament, although the disqualifications and death of Sahl Endeburg have somewhat marred his victory.Mecha aces
