History[edit]
Paula Parkinson was a fighter in Solaris VII.
She was a good fighter and did classify himself for the 2999 Grand Tournament. During that Championship he was finally paired against Henry Rhamses, and they knocked each other out by destroying each others' 'Mechs simultaneously.
This started a feud that brewed for some time until they arranged a grunge match in the Mosh Pit for the third of April 3003. The two did not speak before the match, but the Solaris Media put words on their mouth.
Parkinson arrived early at the Pit, eschewing the normal limo ride to arrive in the pouring rain in her Grasshopper. Rhamses, true to his fashion, was carried from a hover-van atop a litter carried by four strong men and inside the arena, where his gold-painted Thunderbolt, was waiting.
Nearly nobody remembers now the fight itself, by all of them remember the coup de grâce, with Parksinson using her Grasshopper's Jump Jets to execute a Death From Above against the Sun God's cockpit, killing Rhamses, an image that was burned into the imagination of an entire generation of fight fans.
As iconic as that image was, however, it was that brutal act that banned Parkinson forever from fighting anywhere on Solaris in a bonded match, and she soon met her end, in 3007, in the wastelands of Antallos.[1]
