In Depth Physical Description: A fair-skinned, slim female, Natasha has kept her body in remarkable shape for her age and field of work. The only indicator that she’s not fifteen years younger is the wrinkles around her eyes and the long gaze inside them – her piercing hazel eyes are her defining feature and to stare into them is to stare into a lifetime of triumph and anguish. Her auburn hair is long and flowing, extending down past her shoulders. As a seasoned fighter pilot with regular exposure to high G-forces, combined with her own rigorous exercise routine, she is in excellent physical shape. When out of her flight suit she maintains a classy and modest - but expensive - appearance at all times.

Personality: Natasha is a calm, quiet individual – sometimes almost too quiet – hiding a whirlwind of emotions. In the air she flies honorably above all else, respecting even enemy pilots and admiring the best from either side. She is kind and civil at all times, but is also emotionally volatile, though she never shows it. She lost a number of pilots close to her (see below) and had to leave her home nation as it was demilitarized, and memories of these things throw her into a state of agony – a state that is hardly noticeable to others. Since the traumatic events occurred, the mental repercussions have significantly improved through time, but it is nowhere near completely healed. She has extreme mental fortitude (hence the hardly noticeable agony) and is hard to read, but is happy to hold 1-on-1 conversations with anyone for any length of time. If she can, she will analyze a situation to the absolute degree before taking action, but in a combat (or social!) situation is comfortable making split second decisions. She very rarely gets angry but is only truly happy when she is in the cockpit. In the air she is usually almost never on the radio (just as she rarely talks on the ground), a trait that often annoys and confuses other pilots. Those that have flown with her often, however, know that she gets on the radio when it counts and leads her squadron very effectively in near silence. She is a seasoned veteran, but she still is willing to learn from the newest recruit, and dreams of one day leading her own Yellow Squadron for Erusea.

History: Natasha was born into an Erusean military family. Her father was a veteran of the Federal Erusean Navy and was a captain of one of the ships in Erusea’s “invincible” Aegir Fleet. While her father wished for her to join him on the water, it quickly became obvious that she belonged in the air, and she catapulted herself into Erusean flight school at a young age. Upon graduation and enlistment in the Federal Erusean Air Force she quickly established herself as an excellent pilot, and after the outbreak of the Usean Continental War she scored three confirmed kills on ISAF aircraft. Two planes away from the ace title, she was noticed by the infamous Yellow Squadron after Yellow 4 was shot down. She had long admired Yellow 13 and the rest of his squadron, and when she was recruited her life was complete in her eyes. Yellow 13 respected her as a pilot, but did not want anyone to inherit the title of Yellow 4, nor a number higher than his, so she was classified as “Yellow Zero”. Because squadron rosters use only positive integers, Natasha remained off the records of both Erusea’s enemies and Erusea itself, and the official record of Yellow 4 being the only female ever in Yellow Squadron remained intact. Natasha flew several missions with Yellow Squadron before Mobius One shot down the entire squadron, and during that short time she was unable to score a kill before being shot down by Mobius One. Unlike the rest of the squadron, she barely survived and escaped with major injuries, and was airlifted to intensive care. By the time she was fit to fly again, the war had been won in the hands of Mobius One, who Natasha had learned to admire while reading of his feats from her hospital bed. As Erusea was demilitarized and the Free Erusea initiative quelled, Natasha left for Yuktobania. While her loyalty was with Erusea, she needed to get back in the air – flying was therapeutic for her, and the only time her emotional wounds subsided was in the cockpit. Joining the Yuktobanian Kvant Squadron, she flew for the Yukes in the Circum-Pacific War, scoring a single kill and finding more adversaries to admire in the form of the Demons of Razgriz. Over the course of the war and many missions she became the leader of the Kvant Squadron. Still one kill away from being an ace upon the war’s end, Natasha was out of combat for the next eleven years, flying combat exercises and recreationally to keep herself sharp. Her Su-37 Terminator and the rest of her squadron's aircraft were recalled by the military after five years amongst budget cuts as the squadron (though being one of the nation's leading outfits) was no longer seeing any combat, and she was placed on an old stock MiG-23.

Extra Information: Her favorite color is, predictably, yellow.

In Depth Physical Description: Husein has got a light brown skin, which he inherit genetically. His body shape is slightly less "fighter pilot-ly" compared to other fighter pilots, but is still well-built enough. When not in duty, Husein tends to wear T-shirts one size bigger than his actual size and cotton trousers, although he sometimes wear jeans that still permit more leg movements. His hair is always cut short, but he tends to keep his beard until his superiors remind him.
Personality: Despite his birth certificate, Husein feels that he is an Emmerian, and not a Yuktobanian. He is rather sensitive about that issue, and he can go mad quickly if anyone disputes his nationality. Husein is someone who dislikes bullies or anyone doing repressive actions very much that he often tries to beat the bully back, and he has told people to beat him back if he ever becomes the bully as a reminder to himself. Although his skills are still below the Emmerian war veterans, he is willing to learn more, particularly from those veterans who had experienced air-to-air combat in first person. He is not the biggest fan of Garuda 1 who doesn't give a chance for both his enemies and his friends for a kill, but he admitted that Garuda 1 will always be written in Emmerian history books.

Husein is someone who always tries to treat people the way he would like to be treated, as long as those people haven't crossed the red line. When dealing with such people, Husein's response varies from pretending that the person does not exist all the way to giving confrontative looks at the first sight. Husein is also known not to apologize for doing something that may hurt people but he believes to be right, and does not forgive people when such people didn't actually believe they've wronged him. Other than that he always apologizes whenever he wronged people and he forgives people rather easily.

Husein's traits during combat still remains to be seen, because he has never fought an actual aerial dogfight. During simulations, though, he has shown himself not to be afraid when facing any kind of opponent as long as he isn't vastly outnumbered. He speaks in the radio just as much as everyone else, but he speaks quicker than many people and often without clear articulation, not to mention the Yuktobanian accent, which leads to other pilots sometimes asking him to repeat his words.

Husein views "conventional" wars as something that can always be prevented, but believes that war in its broad sense - namely the "multidimensional war" is something that is always fought between nations. The role of a standing military is to deter enemies from fighting conventional wars, with fighting the war itself is merely a contingency plan. He thought that the laws and customs of war is to be understood and followed by any single combatant in times of war, and that attempting to circumvent or find a loophole in that law is a war crime in and of itself.

History:
Husein was born in Darina, one of the northernmost major cities in Yuktobania. When he was ten years old, his country was attacked by Osea. The news of Cruik Fortress being conquered by Osea reached Darina and eventually to Husein's family by the word of mouth, which was possibly the most reliable source of news for Yuktobanian citizens. Believing the collapse of Yuktobania to be imminent, Husein's family, along with him, attempted to flee the country across Fuscum Sea toward Emmeria.

Despite having to live in an Emmerian immigrant detention centre until the Circum-Pacific War ends, Husein's family finally tasted freedom for the first time in their lives. They settled in San Loma and then became Emmerian citizens once they have lived in Emmeria for five years. Shortly after they became Emmerian citizens, however, war erupted in the country. Although Husein's home was almost destroyed when the city was occupied by Estovakian forces, the REAF's bravery in liberating the city gave a glimmer of hope for him that Emmeria will prevail, which they did.

Two years later, once he reached military age, he went to the Emmerian Air Force Academy when REAF was on a large recruitment program to replace the casualties it suffered during the Anean Continental War. After graduating from the Academy, he finally served the REAF as a fighter pilot. Being a rookie pilot, however, he had to be happy to fly an outdated, mediocre aircraft like the F-5 instead of a fourth-generation fighter like what he had expected. He believed that this was due to REAF still rebuilding itself in the meantime.

Extra Information: I'm making this character to be "child-friendly". The interpretation is that all NPCs shot down by this character will successfully eject. However, their fates after landing from ejection is not guaranteed under the "child-friendly" policy.

• RKTL (Mk.32 Zuni Rocket)[RCL]

In Depth Physical Description:
Square-shouldered and almost stocky in appearance, Scott has a fairly solid and angular build, especially for a fighter pilot. His limbs are fairly thick, and his hands are also large, which relates to his powerful build. This does make him a little unusual or clumsy-looking, but he nonetheless has a fairly rugged square-jawed appearance, with almost permanent 5'o'clock shadow and a twinkled in his eyes, coupled with a somewhat drawling accent.
His hair is threaded through with grey, and the beginnings of laughter-lines and wrinkles are creeping onto his face, and he has the tan of a man who's worked outdoors for most of his life.
His body language and general posture also present the image of a very laid-back and relaxed man, but one who carries his weight with practice and training, as well as the practiced and drilled habits of checking the exits and entrances to a room, and keeping an eye on one's surroundings.
He doesn't have many scars or other distinguishing marks, beyond a slightly squashed broken-once-too-often nose, due to a few too many arguments with his drill sergeant and physical instructor in PT, as well as falling off of a climbing wall.
His appearance in terms of clothing leans toward - obviously - wearing his flight suit when appropriate on duty, and the associated equipment and items. When not on duty or on base, he leans toward rugged yet casual clothes, such as timberland or caterpillar style boots, jeans or cargo-type trousers and T-shirts under a checked or work-style shirt.

Personality:
Much as his appearance would suggest, Scott approaches life with a relaxed attitude. Not to say that he waits for things to happen, but more that he doesn't let himself get too worked up. He likes to relax and have a good time with friends and colleagues, and values those same people and using his skills to help them, and expects the same back.

Very much a Naval Aviator, he sees his profession as the only thing he could be doing, and the most worthwhile thing in his life. He follows in the footsteps of earlier generations of his family, and carries the tradtion strongly. He is proud of his role and his service, and of the work he has one. He has something of the 'typical fighter pilot' mentality, though is not much for the swaggering arrogance that is the stereotype, instead being quietly confident and self-assured.
Having served in the military for the longest portion of his life, he finds it hard to imagine himself doing anything else, especially as he nears the end of his career. While he has accumulated a great deal of experience, he tries to keep in mind that there's always more to learn despite your experience, and that passing on what you've learned is always a goal to reach toward.

While he is dedicated to his duty, he is also well aware that he has a family waiting for him, and sometimes struggles with the responsibilities and expectations of his profession - i.e. the reality of mortal danger - against the responsibilities of a father and husband to come back alive. While he also loves the life of a combat squadron and spending time with his wingmen and combat buddies, he also misses his home and family, and feels a little isolated from the younger men and women around him by his age.

Typically, he tries to see the best in others, and treats everyone well, unless they give him cause to do otherwise. He is good-natured and nice to those he meets for the first time, and believes in the essential goodness of people, despite having seen some awful things happen.

History:
Scott followed in the footsteps of his father and his father's father in joining the Navy and particularly Naval Aviation. Previous generations of Valentine men fought in other wars across Usea, and their stories encouraged him to follow suit. Scott's father fought in a number of small actions while he was growing up, cementing his position as a 'hot shot fighter jock' when he was a young man, and implanting the mystique of the fighter pilots' life firmly within his mind.
A life of moving around with his mother and brother had left him with no real roots as they followed his dad from base to base and assignment to assignment, and he was eager to find a place for himself, with the Navy already being a firm feature of his world, having grown up with it all around him.

At the time of his graduation from high school in 1994. however, the knowledge of Ulysses was only recent, but the world was quietly murmuring about what it would mean.
Breezily unconcerned, the young Scott entered the Naval Academy, and dedicated himself to training. He struggled in placed, but persevered, being assigned to a Naval Attack Squadron at the end of his training. The Usean rebellion of 1997 coincided with the tail-end of his training, and he and his fellow academy graduates were rapidly pressed into service, flying their hastily-armed training aircraft in a handful of sorties against coup ground forces in a notable incident that later made his graduate class famous, and gave him his first taste of combat.

His first tour of duty was tinged with horror, as in July 1999 the Ulysses asteroid impacted the planet, and his squadron were rapidly pressed into service flying disaster relief, search and rescue and general patrol duties, as well as on the ground where they provided extra manpower in helping recover survivors and sort through the ruins of cities for survivors.
This experience tinged his world-view for a long time afterward, and gave him a very thoughtful approach to life. It also likely started his deep interest in poetry and literature to find some solace from the horrors of seeing death, destruction and injury so close.
It was during this time that he first met Layla, who was working as a photographer, as well as assisting in the disaster relief efforts. At first sparks flew between the pair, though they later hit it off and became good friends.

His first cruise aboard ship followed shortly afterward, and primarily consisted of escorting cargo and refugee vessels, and enforcing territorial waters. During this time, there were numerous small scale clashes with Erusean forces, some of which resulted in brief incidents of shooting or combat. It was also during this cruise that he experienced some difficulties with authority and was placed on reprimand a couple of times. Toward the end of this period he was assigned - along with a few other members of his unit - for counselling, as a result of the PTSD they suffered from events around the Ulysses disaster. These events would later shape his career.

Following the end of his first cruise, he and Layla met again, and he proposed to her following an intense romantic involvement. She agreed, and they made plans for their wedding.
Unfortunately, at this same time, the Eruseans launched their effort to change the balance of political influence on Usea by invading the neutral country of San Salvacion and occupying the Stonehenge facility. Following this, the FCU's armed forces are reorganized into ISAF. With this reorganization, the chain of command is changed somewhat.
As Scott's squadron are mobilized in response to increasing tensions, his wedding with Layla is put off, much to both of their regret.
During this cruise, the carrier is struck by Erusean Naval forces, and the squadron are forced to launch and engage enemy units. Scott is shot down, and imprisoned for the majority of the war. Later, during the counter-offensive by ISAF, he and many of his fellow pilots are freed, and after a short period of rehabiliation, are able to join in the last few offensives of the war, including the attack on Farbanti.

Layla became part of the anti-occupation movement in the FCU, though were under observation due to their family ties with the FCU Navy and ISAF by extension. His mother was watched almost constantly, and was frequently taken in for questioning, despite knowing nothing. Similarly, his brother was branded as a 'potential troublemaker'.

Scott was again, challenged mentally and physically by his experiences, and was put on reduced duty for 18 months due to problems with his emotional and mental stability, as it turned out he had suffered terribly in the POW camps, including watching a close friend die. He and Layla married during this time, and also had their first child together, a young boy named Roy, after Scott's lost friend. The experience healed him emotionally and mentally, and he also published a short book of his poetry with her assistance during this time.
He later was judged fit to return to service, although the record remained on his file. He went back to his old squadron, who were still flying A-7's, due to the tight budgets for hardware and re-armament at the time.

Scott flew several successful tours of duty, transferring to a number of different aircraft types during his career. His operations were primarily a number of patrols and escort missions for FCU and Usean naval and merchant shipping convoys and borders during the following years during the many regional conflicts across the globe. Notably, as part of one of these missions he was instrumental in sinking a number of motorboats attempting to board and seize a cargo ship from San Salvacion, as well as also shooting down two armed helicopters on another sortie, attempting to do the same. He was also involved in an incident at the time of the Estovakian Civil War, where a ship full of refugees was radioing a distress call, and the ISAF naval group he was part of responded to fend off attacks on the unarmed vessel. Due to the sensitive international nature of the incident, he received no recognition officially or publicly for it, but privately received acclaim and praise for his quick-thinking actions during the operation.

Following this, he began to consider retirement, or reassignment to spend more time with his family as his son was growing up fast. Many of his fellow pilots were moving into other areas as well, and the ISAF forces were in a period of re-organization following changes in government and spending programs. After consultation with Layla, he decided to take an incentive to remain in the Naval Aviation forces for a further tour of duty, in order to instruct and aid new pilots flying older aircraft types, and in so doing was selected for the Peace Games - however, following this, he thoroughly intends to retire and transfer his skills to the private sector as an advisor and consultant. Currently, he has found himself again flying the A-7 Corsair, the type he started his career flying.

Scott's favourite colour (and mine) is blue. His Aircraft is painted in the scheme currently adopted by his squadron, of two-tone low-visibility blue.
