Sheila Sporr

Dracoforms ace in the Scandian League Combined Military. A little crazy, a little unstable, and in charge of a Giant Robot.

Sheila Sporr, the "Iron Maiden", used to be called the second-best mecha pilot in the Scandian League (after Jendon Fel.) Sporr hates that. The two pilots once dueled for who was "the best", and the experience left Sporr with a long scar down her face. People haven't said that as often after her participation in the Robotics Tournament. She holds the rank of Commander.

Personality

Sheila seems a little strange in some ways for a Scandian. Were as most people in Scande favor austere and simple styles, Sheila has grown her luxurious black hair to waste-length, sports several rings, and is a little zaftig for a Dragon Dimension native. She's beautiful, and has drone the attention of a few would-be suitors, all of whom quickly decide she's completely crazy.

Sporr openly revels in the unsavory reputation of the Scandian League. Famously describing the Scandian flag, she said, "Yellow is for the soil of the Motherland. Red is for the blood of the Scandian people. Black is for our EVIl! DON'T FUCK WITH US!"

History

Too young to fight in the Great War, but obviously she and her brother witnessed the horrors inflicted upon the Dragon Dimension. Her mother died in the war in the same accident that crippled her brother, Yuri. The young Sheila blamed her mother for not being strong enough to protect them, and vowed she should would become strong enough to never be vulnerable again. Her mother was a priestess to Bleu, something her current employers have yet to discover.

Sheila opted to join in the Scandian League Combined Military as soon as she was able, originally enrolling as a Tank cadet in the Crucible. She displayed high mechanical aptitude and reflexes, but did not 'play well with others'. In 32 WR, she was tapped for Dracoform pilot training when the existence of the machine was still a closely guarded secret. Sheila described her first encounter with the horrifying instrument of war as "love at first sight".

Promoted to Tetracom by the time of the Leviathan War, she participated in both battles of Hosluftgrad and earned the distinction of ace. After the war, she was rotated back to the crucible to serve as a pilot instructor.

Robotics Tournament

Sporr loved the Robotics tournament, and reveled in the prolonged, showy nature of gladiatorial combat. She piloted a slightly modified Zog Dracoform; instead of the infantry antipode vulcans in the chest, she had a Luminaire cannon.

She often caught her opponents off guard by doing things "no sane pilot" would do. In the first round, she beat an SRAN Ifrit piloted by Howard Rubelle by knocking his melee attack off balance with a ramming attack. Although Colleen Henderson, pilot of the feared KN-Series Civil Defense Type mecha which had previously beaten Jendon Fel's might Onyx Drake. Although Henderson gave Sporr an unexpectedly tough fight, the Esperian mecha was overmatched and Sporr ultimately won. In round three, Sporr faced the legendary Seraphim Soldier Gallus Heylin. Although the pilots were well-matched, Sporr emerged victorious when Gallus made a mistake in executing his ultimate attack technique.

In the championship round, Sporr faced the mysterious Quizhan Ocrosse and his strange mecha, the Soltaras. The long battle ended when Sporr allowed her mecha's diesel fuel to leak onto Ocrosse's mecha, and then lit it on fire. The dramatic victory made her the winner of the first Robotics Tournament.

The Scandian propaganda machine tried to make Sporr's victory about the triumph of communism, which greatly irked Sporr. It was HER victory, and HER piloting skill. Sporr is not much of an ideological communist, or even a Scandian patriot. Although the battered remnants of her Zog were displayed on Megido, she hid and kept the Robotics Tournament trophy, instead of present it to Travin Rumanski as was 'the plan'.

At War Again

Deploying with her Supernova regiment, she participated in Scandian operations in Ticondera in support of the FTSR against the Viper District. An attack by DW-R, a chemical weapon, temporarily put her and her unit out of action.

Second Robotics Tournament

The Scandian League, involved in several major combat operations around the Web, decided not to showcase its most feared weapons in the second tournament. Sheila Sporr nonetheless snuck out to participate, but, because of a protest for her government, she was disqualified in the first round. When she returned to Scande, she was punished by being re-assigned to SLCM-Space.
