Goal(s):

Habits/ Quirks:

Overview: Robert is very much a military man. He holds great respect, admiration and fear for his superiors, he tolerates no sort of disrespect or insubordination, and he cannot stand how Clare is almost his polar opposite at times. Since he was born fifteen minutes earlier, he considers himself the older twin, therefore he feels a great sense of protectiveness towards Clare. If she were to be harmed or captured in any way, Robert would go on the warpath.

Other Equipment:

• Usually has a sidearm on his person when outside of the Shatterdome. If he really means business, he carries a rifle or a shotgun.

Robert and Clare were born into a disciplined family, their father coming from a long line of military men and their mother believing in a firm hand in parenting. As children, Robert and Clare were inseparable. They went damn near everywhere together, always inevitably holding hands. As they grew up, they abandoned their childish habits, but were still inseparable. Then, when they were both 14, K-DAY struck.
The family was visiting San Francisco. Robert was visiting a military base with his father, and when Trespasser hit, they immediately took cover inside the base. They were unable to contact Clare or Robert’s mothers, and they grew worried. However, more people came to hide in the base, and eventually they were reunited with the other half of the family. From relative safety at the base, 20 miles from the city proper, they watched as the massive beast rampaged, brushing off bullets and bombs and only finally dying when a nuke was dropped on it.
The twins followed the Jaeger program as it grew, and as they continued with their lives. When they were both 20, they decided to go apply to join the Jaeger program. They were indeed drift-compatible, and trained as Rangers for 2 years. However, the Jaeger program was soon defunded, putting them on the bench. During this time, Robert stayed with his family, waiting for his chance, which came with Gipsy’s sacrifice.
Construction on new Jaegers began, and the twins were chosen to pilot Snowblind Prince. During their first Drift, something went a little sideways. They both seized, but when they woke up a few hours later, they found the link between their minds hadn’t entirely closed. They could still share emotions and thoughts, even outside of a Drift. This development is what kept them in the Jaeger program, and eventually landed them in the cockpit of Snowblind.

Sample RP: Both twins bolted awake at exactly the same time when the kaiju alarm went off.
“Is that the kaiju alarm?” Clare asked, rubbing her eyes.
“Afraid so. Let’s do this.” Robert said, rolling out of his bed and onto his feet.
“Five more minutes.” Clare muttered, moving to lay back down.
“The kaiju won’t give you five more minutes. Get some coffee before we go suit up.” Robert said, pulling on a pair of pants.
Clare muttered a string of obscenities and rolled out of her own bed, practically falling out and landing on her face. She pulled herself up off the floor and pulled on a pair of shorts.
“Shirt.” Robert reminded her as he walked out. Clare mumbled a few more obscenities and pulled a shirt over her head, following him into the Drivesuit Room.
