Name: Last name, First name
Age: The minimum age of a pilot fresh out of training is 20
Gender: Your pilot's gender
Origin: Your pilot's birthplace/nationality

Appearance: A short blurb about your character's appearance, including height and any distinguishing marks.

Callsign/Codename: Nickname/Alias your Pilot goes by in combat
Kills: Your pilot's kill record. Obviously a fresh pilot should have pretty much no kills, whereas a veteran should have more. 'Ace' status is earned at 50 kills. At the moment, kills only refer to kills against human targets. As the RP will start before any combat with the Zentradi has occurred. Remember, the world has generally been in a state of peace for the past decade. An insurrection or uprising here and there, sure, but you probably haven't butchered your way through dozens upon dozens of enemy pilots.
Veritech Specs: Your pilot's preferred Veritech loadout in list form preferably. Also include a description of any distinguishing marks your character has put on their fighter- all Fox Squadron veritechs are painted white and red

Psychological Analysis: Fancy talk for 'Personality'. Give me a good paragraph or so describing your character's personality. Rule of thumb: the more detail, the better.

Military Record: Your Character's background. Again, give me a few good paragraphs describing your character's history. Again, the more detail, the better.

Name: Staten, Amanda Kathryn (“Kat”)
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Origin: New York City, United States

Appearance: At five feet and ten inches in height, Amanda Kathryn Staten is pretty difficult to miss. If her height doesn’t do it, the blond hair and bright green eyes probably will. If neither of those factors clues you in, look for the boisterous woman in the athletic wear. She usually wears her uniform or something she can move in, without a whole lot in between the two extremes. Anyone she’s stationed with gets used to seeing her in training clothes on her way to or from the gym very quickly.

Kat doesn’t look a whole lot like a pilot at first glance, enough so that more than one unfortunate soul has mistaken her for support personnel. She certainly wouldn’t look out of place as a civilian secretary, though her hair is kept short enough to fit inside her helmet and meet regulatory requirements. It’s a little easier, up close, to see the fit physique required of her career. Despite her youth, she isn’t easily mistaken for a rookie; though largely faded, the scars on her left side and just above her left eye are proof of her history.

Callsign/Codename: Centerfold, gifted by peers during training. Explanation given on request.
Kills: 7. 4/7 in one skirmish, 2005.
Veritech Specs:
Preferred Loadout:
-UUM-7 x2 (One left, one right)
-AMM-1 x1 (Left)
-RMS-1 (Right)
-Strike FAST Pack

Kat was trained as the pilot of an air superiority fighter and that preference bleeds through to her Veritech. She largely eschews air-to-ground capabilities in exchange for a varied and potent air-to-air loadout, maintaining a degree of air-to-ground capabilities solely in the form of her UUMs and FAST Pack cannon. Though she chafes a little at the mandated red and white paintjob, she has taken the liberty of painting kill tallies on her craft’s wings and a rabid-looking rabbit on the nose.

Psychological Analysis: Incredibly energetic. Kat Staten is, in a word, boisterous. She’ll laugh the hardest, yell the loudest, and fight the happiest. She takes a fierce pride in her country and her original branch of service, and will contest anyone claiming to be better. She makes friends easily, brushes off adversity with complete irreverence, and never takes things particularly seriously. ‘Irrepressible’ would be a good adjective, as would ‘stubborn’. It doesn’t matter how silly the contest, Staten never gives in.

A deeper familiarity shows that, while the demeanor she projects isn’t false, there is more to it. The American possesses a keen tactical mind, and an almost ruthless determination in the face of opposition. Anyone that threatens her squadmates or her home is to be eliminated, if they fail to take their chance to back down. Her tactics have been called reckless many times, and tend to demonstrate a distinct lack of fear for her own safety. As much as it tends to get her in trouble, it has also been (grudgingly) admitted to be what makes her an excellent pilot. It doesn’t seem to be unintentional; Kat’s brushes with mortality seem only to have reinforced her convictions. Her all-or-nothing attitude is born of determination rather than ignorance.

No matter what, the people Kat serves with are her family. Anything they need she will go to hell and back to provide, whether on or off the battlefield.

Military Record: Amanda Kathryn Staten was born on December 29th 1984, destined to grow up in a world wracked by the Global War. Anthony Staten, her father, served as a fighter pilot before and after she was born. He was an immense influence on her life, and a significant part of her choice to serve in the military came from following in his footsteps. She was raised to be proud, resolute, and unwavering. Kat excelled in high school, took part in extracurriculars, and did everything she could to ensure that she would be able to follow the path she wanted.

Her enlistment and subsequent training, naturally, was a little hectic. Her enthusiasm tended to net her almost as many lectures as it did commendations, if she got a little too heated, thought a little too far outside the box, or otherwise questioned what she was being taught. Still she avoided any real disciplinary action (if only by knowing which lines to toe), and was able to face her role model with the utmost pride when she was accepted as a pilot candidate. The Global War had died down following the crash on Macross Island, something that had only strengthened her resolve, but she still went into active service as a pilot in a chaotic time. Not everyone was on board with unification in the face of extraterrestrial adversity, and though relatively small in number, these forces were enough to cause problems when they put their mind to it.

Kat was the pilot of an F-16, an air superiority fighter tasked with just that; achieving and maintaining air supremacy for the USAF. Much of her early service was without incident, though she displayed excellent ability in the line of duty. That changed when she was twenty one, near the end of the Anti-Unification forces’ decline.

Acting on orders, Kat and her squadmates were dispatched to neutralize a hostile enemy air force discovered in Indonesia. Their superior’s underestimated the size and capability of the force present, and in the ensuing skirmish with the entrenched AU forces the entire squadron was shot down. Not without inflicting losses on the enemy, but the entrenched resistance was made up in large part of Global War veterans. Staten was the last of her squadron to be shot down, only after shooting down five of the AU aircraft during the course of the battle. After-action reports from her surviving squadmates described her maneuvers both as innovating and “[CENSORED] insane”.

It took four days for US forces to subdue the hostile parties, hidden in Indonesia’s rainforests, as well as recover the surviving pilots from her squadron. Kat herself employed what they had been taught in USAF SERE Training to survive and evade capture.

Her high performance marked her for recruitment as a Veritech pilot, and later for assignment to Fox Squadron.

Name: Casablancas, Cairo Quince

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Origin: Tel Aviv, Israel [raised maternally in Iruñea, Basque Country)

Appearance: Relatively unassuming in height at only 1.65 meters, Cairo Casablancas nonetheless can manage to overcome her unimpressive stature and muster the aura of "cool fighter pilot." This middling (at best) height, mixed with a love of the squat rack during training, has been a source of constant consternation with Cairo as she aged into the proper harassment years. The multitude of Israeli insignias on her spanking-new bomber jacket, the gigantic tinted lenses of her Aviators, and the brisk, competent nature of her posture, however, are all evidence that there is at least a streak of confidence, pride, and even danger within the young rookie.

Underneath the attire and posturing, Cairo is a pretty, if sullen and unresponsive, young woman, with clear amber skin, straight black hair, and smoldering dark eyes that always seem to be staring balefully at someone in dismay, as though constantly in the process of taking offense or having her fragile ego trampled upon. Her nails are usually painted a black or russet color similar to that of her eyes or skin, and one of her small concessions to vanity is constant, devoted care of her nails and skin health.

Callsign/Codename: Flamenco

Kills: 1

Veritech Specs: Cairo prefers a dogfight and air-to-air capability, utilizing the Dual Strike pack and FAST packs. As much of her Veritech that can be painted red without eschewing the white of Fox Squadron is painted red, and the verse "JUDGES 15:16" printed upon the nose.

Psychological Analysis: Cairo Casablancas isn't sure what to make of people. Through a mix of a naturally aloof personality, personal failures at socialization, and her highly professional way of thinking, the Fox Squadron rookie is her own one-woman circle of trust that seems impossible to pierce. Any trials, tribulations, or secrets she holds in her memory are stored there under lock and key, and any attempts to pry them out will be met only with an icy stare through the lenses of her "prescription" sunglasses. Though she keeps a veneer of politeness up when confronted with the prospect of human company, it is easy to tell that she is not a young woman easily coaxed into displays of extroversion.

It is surprising, then, that Cairo is such a self-assured and confident girl from the cockpit of her VF-1. She communicates calmly and concisely with her fellow Fox pilots and, though careful not to defy orders or needlessly risk a mission, is not above engaging opponents. As dogfights and engagements are her only publicly disclosed hobby, she will gladly open up to the other pilots on the carrier whenever she is asked for her opinion of their battle prowess.

Privately, Cairo Casablancas enjoys boom-bap hip hop, punk music, black comedy, reading science and technology publications, and drinking sambuca or paxtaran with seven coffee beans per shot. She will sometimes break out a bottle of sambuca from her private stock in order to produce a caffè corretto with the help of the coffee makers in the ship's galley.
