Myomer Technician
In 3045, on the Marik planet of Les Halles, the small city of Nattahnam was
terrorized by several lances of Liao light Mechs. The force was originally intent on
damaging several small BattleMech factories in the city and consisted of several
inexperienced green pilots. One factory, Steel and Pipe Simple Designs, came
under attack by a Wasp and a Sentinel. The uncoordinated Sentinel pilot crashed
into a crane in the factory. Guided by expert operator Reggie Sims, the crane
crushed the cockpit of the Mech, shattering its protective ferroglass and killing the
pilot. Reggie then used the crane to lift the fallen Mech, pulling it to its feet once
again and steadying it at the base of a building. Nearby armorer and technician
Ryan Allen dropped into the open cockpit, trying desperately to gain control of the
damaged machine. The Wasp's pilot soon realized what was happening and
dropped its sights on Sims. The large laser vaporized Ryan's co-worker,
effectively disabling the crane. Ryan, using skills he had developed in his years as
a BattleMech crafter, quickly melded wires together and plugged himself into the
Sentinel's damaged cockpit. He took aim and fired an SRM2 upon the other
Mech's cockpit. The Wasp shuddered under the impact, dropping to its knees and
crashing into unassembled Mech arm infrastructures. Rocky Potts, another
factory worker, became trapped by the fallen Mech. Ryan saved him by pulling
the other Mech away from Rocky. Having lost his hands, Rocky sought rapid
medical attention. Ryan slowly picked him up and began walking the Mech to the
nearest hospital.
After medical treatment the couple of unlikely heroes pawned off their Mech to a
local thug. The two used the money to jump from planet to planet, and began a
gambling streak of enormous loss. After 13 years the two ended up on a
backwater planet called Trolloc Prime. In one town, Rocky and Ryan were
captured by city law enforcement after losing a bet with a few of the locals. Under
the eye of Tashakia Fong, Rocky and Ryan were imprisoned and moved out of
town.
Meanwhile Mike Strider and Devon Carns had heard rumors of two off-worlders
being captured by Fong and his men. Feeling a need to investigate, Strider asked a
local enforcer for Fong's location. The enforcer jumped Mike, only to be savagely
taken down with a blow to the spine by Devon. Fong's brutality and intentions
shown through his soldier's actions, so the commander began plotting an attack to
rescue the unfortunate couple. Taking down Fong's Mechs and stealing a
Trebuchet for Allen and Potts, the Strikers gained two new members and the
team's primary techs.
Ryan is an average pilot who always depends on what he calls "dumbluck" to
defeat his foes. While riding his custom Mech, the Infighter, Ryan packs a punch
whenever possible. His technical know-how of myomer bundles is often used to
repair the worst of internal damages. Ryan enjoys taunting the enemy and playing
the role of the team's joker. However despite this joking image, Ryan is generally
looked up to by the other Strikers. His battlefield skills prove him worthy of such
respect, as well as his technical abilities when helping any of the team to improve
their Mechs.
Ryan's experience and devotion to the Strikers team led to his promotion to
second in command in the mid 3060s. However, with the Blakist death squad's
attack on the command barracks in 3068 and the subsequent deaths of the unit's
commanding officers Strider and Carns, Ryan declined to fulfill his role as
commander. The strain of command proved to heavy for him, and he shifted the
role over to his trusted friend Duo Maxwell.
With the unit's reformation and tragic losses, Rocky Potts and Ryan Allen also
questioned their commitment to the team. However both of the pilots have opted
to remain with the unit regardless of its future, as they have found a home amongst
Clan and Inner Sphere peoples alike. Ryan Allen has made a particular political
foe in Sasha Breen of the Steel Vipers. His veto while a commander of the unit
cancelled her plot to strike a Blakist base, compounding opposition against the
Steel Vipers original act of vengeance. Ryan hopes to mend the relationships he's
damaged in the past months, and he's begun to do so by supporting both Clan and
Inner Sphere representatives. Ryan has befriended Savalas of the Nova Cats
most recently, finding a friend in a Clan member of the team who shares many of
his ideologies.
