Mod Edit (Cardi): Character and Gundam APPROVED
I hope this is alright. I still suck at writing backgrounds.
Character:
Name: Giovanni Ambrogio Pietro Valerio
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Affiliation: Neo Italy
MS: Volta Gundam
Appearance: 7'4" with a large muscular build, short black hair, and wild brown eyes. Amazingly strong, Giovanni can bend steel like string cheese with one hand and can pretty much take as much punishment as he can dish out. Wears a red beret with a black shirt, mountain scheme camo pants, and black combat boots. Loves to cook.
History:
As a young boy, Giovanni had a facination with electricity. He loved to watch the weather to see the lightning come crashing down to earth. On their family owned vineyard, Giovanni would sometimes skip his duties to build crude tesla coils out of whatever he could find so he could watch the lightning spark out of them. He idolized people like Tesla, Edison, and especially the italian inventor Volta. When he turned eighteen, Giovanni was drafted into the military for his mandatory two years of service.
In the military, he weight trained, ran innumerable miles, and grew stronger, learning disipline and various martial arms for hand to hand combat. When it became time to leave, he elected to stay in the military as he wanted to stay around the technology. He became an awesome soldier and joined the elite forces of the Neo-Italian military. Because of his performance, the Neo-Italian government selected him to be their representative in the Gundam Fight.

Ultimate attacks: Campo Elettrico, Colpo di Lampo
Campo Electrico (Electric Field): The tesla coils charge and form a large electric field around the Volta. Using this, the Volta can block most physical attacks (bullets, fists, etc.) but is unable to attack with any ranged weapons. So, to compensate for this, the Volta charges at high speed to ram the opponent with the electric field. The Campo Electrico requires a fairly long recharge time after use (6 posts).
Colpo di Lampo (Lightning Bolt Blow): The tesla coils on the Volta's shoulders charge up quickly, creating large sparks of electricity to arc between them. When Giovanni is ready, the Volta shoots out hundreds of large bolts of electricity at the enemy, which home in on the enemy mobile fighter due to the MF's tall and metallic stature.

History:
Like all mobile fighters, the Volta Gundam was made with it's pilot in mind. However, unlike the other countries, every single piece of the Volta Gundam was made the traditional Italian way: Hand made. This way, the Volta Gundam and it's weapons were made with the highest precision and skill. The finest Italian leather is tastefully inlaid in the operating panels in the cockpit along with the warmest wooden panelling. The Volta has very thick hand crafted armor, allowing the Volta to be practically immune to small weapons fire.
The Volta Gundam was named after one of Giovanni's idols: Count Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta, the inventor of the battery and was based around high voltage electric attacks. The Volta Gundam also has a selection of additional weapons based around those used by Giovanni in his military service.
