Editing Roth (section)

===Background Notes===
Roth is a bit of a coward. He fled his homeworld rather than be conscripted for a particularly bloody war. He honed his sense of self-preservation and went into debt to a criminal organization in order to get genetic mods that allow him to change his appearance. When the 'jobs' they forced him to do became too dangerous, he fled them too. Freelancing whenever necessary to survive.<br>

Actually, when the criminal organization was about to catch and kill him, Roth turned himself in to the authorities, trusting they would be kinder to him.<br>

That's how he wound up in the penal mining colony. Practically enslaved, but alive.<br>

It was a world where the other colonists were just as dangerous as the militia guarding them, and his ability to survive came in handy. He focused his efforts on doing his time and getting out... becoming extremely skilled with the heavy mining equipment.<br>

Eventually, he saw that the authorities manipulated 'charges' or 'fines' for anybody even getting close to earning their freedom, so he found a group of like-minded colonists and used his skills to help gather information for the slowly forming rebellion.<br>

I almost picture Roth as having some sort of mild 'split personality' When he takes on a role he can almost become a different person. That's how he got so good with the heavy mining equipment, and that's why he fights (or will fight) like a cornered beast when he's in a Mecha. Hence the (future) callsign, Savage.<br>
