Dana 'Red' Knight
Age: 19
Description: Dana stands at five foot six, with blue eyes, and red hair cut to MI standards. Not pretty at the best of times, she's usually got a face and uniform covered in grease or various other substances that those who work around machinery get covered it. Pretty much the only time she doesn't have a mechanical tool in her hand is when she's got an assault rifle in it.

Background: Growing up in New York, in a middle class family, Dana was never stood out academically, eventually choosing to opt out of high school and get a technical vocation degree in mechanics.

She never had very many friends growing up, prefering to take things apart and put them together again in her spare time. That was, when she wasn't watching the various propaganda that the government put out about the MI. It was the only thing that distracted her from her interest in all things mechanical.

Everybody who knew her when she was young knew that she didn't fit in, and nobody was surprised when after she received her techincal degree at the age of 18, instead of finding a civilian job, when to the nearest recruting center, and signed up for a tour of duty with the mobile infantry, shooting for a position as engineer and demolitions expert in training.

Jack 'Dog' Calhoun

Jack was raised in the tiny town of Blaine in the south eastern region of North America. His father, Mitch, lost his right foot in the service, and his older sister, Jenny 'Ribs' Calhoun is currently a Marauder-9 operator, so there was little doubt about Jack joining the Mobile Infantry in their footsteps. Raised in the country, Jack learned a good deal about hunting and setting traps, as well as handling hunting dogs. Laid back almost to the point of being laconic, he prefers to let his actions speak for themselves, and isnt above showing up a mouthy braggart on the firing range...

Well Athletics combines Climb, Jump and Swim AND it is a Class Skill for M.I.'s

The Preview has a list of all the skills... for a cross-class skill I would go for either one you are interested in OR if you are thinking about a PrC

Thanks, I read the class skills of a MI. I was wondering what other skills there are.
Change tack,
What are the pre reqs for becoming an officer? I might as well be working on that pathway.

Two more questions:

Technical expert, I assume, gives a bonus to the techincal skill choosen, correct? And what technical skills are there?

Technical [Int; Trained only]
Categories: Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Structural
Each Category is a seperate skill.

The Technical Expert feat gives you a +2 bonus with one technical skill and reduces the time to make a object by 25%. You can take the feat again in the same category and gain an additional +1 bonus and time is reduced by 50%.
