Real Name:
Wagner Ouschwitz
PMF: Armor Construction
SMF: Historian
Ever since
anyone who knows him can remember, Wagner Ouschwitz was completely fascinated
by the very art of war. As a young child, instead of playing war with
his friends, he sat with his nose buried in books on the subject, the
more graphic and informative, the better. The more violent the war was,
the more he studied it, and he became quite adept at the more violent
ways of history.
Wagner
belonged to an affluent family in Eastern Europe and upon graduation,
he was appealed to by many to join their colleges or businesses. But
he only had one goal in mind: to join the CobraCorps military and see
battle first hand. In the CobraCorps, he simply flourished. His already
sharp mind honed even sharper, and his physical battle savvy far surpassed
many of his peers. He really shined in the armor devision as a tank
commander. His aggressive style and quick shot made him the resident
expert, but he was not happy. Hiding behind the armored shell didn't
allow him the freedom of battle, and being in the thick of the combat
he so longed for. Thus, he joined the Elite Perennis Shocktroops as
a heavy weapons specialist and flourished once again. He was present
for the two battles between Cobra and AmericaCorps, and had many successes
in each one. He was offered a promotion out of front line combat, but
refused.
All this
while, in his off time, he was working in the Cobra labs trying to improve
on and redesign armor for the tank division. But he was also planning
other things as well. And three years after starting, he finally completed
his work. The so-called "P.A.N.Z.E.R." Battle Suit. Named for the ancient
powerhouse tanks Germany had used in World War II, it was a marvel of
design. It allowed for much freedom of movement, but was made of an
insanely dense polymer that coul repel many forms of attack. The suit
also increased the wearer's speed and strength, as well as sharpened
the reflexes. The suit was also built in with "Inertia Dampeners" which
negated any kind of force brought upon it by enemy fire by scattering
the inertia waves into all directions around the wearer. But unfortunately,
the suit proved far too expensive to mass produce. However, in appreciation
for Ouschwitz's work on it, Cobra allowed him access to the one prototype
suit made. Taking the name "Panzer" he took his place in the Perennis
Shocktroops as a heavy weapons specialist.
"The guy
is just plain NUTS! He doesn't wear a helmet so he can 'smell the fires
of combat' and takes on tanks all by himself! That XG-50 megacannon
he carries packs a punch, but you couldn't pay me enough to go one on
one with an Americorps Bradley XII fighting vehicle! It's gotta crush
the other guy's moral, though, to be taken out by one man..."
