Bio:

Attachment #002:

- Background, Prior to Service: There are little recorded data about 00017's life prior to enlistment, even her own memories of that time seen to be faulty, most likely a symptom of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). The events that triggered such a drastic response are unknown, despite several attempts at psychological therapies.

Her first contact with military forces was with a Faceless that had bailed out after her plane was struck down near the remnants of Shipan. 00017 was found by the pilot, along with a number of other --presumed orphaned-- children, inhabiting the ruins of a city that had been decimated by airstrikes. They helped the pilot survive, while effectively stranded behind enemy lines, until rescue could arrive.

00017 had taken some affecting towards the pilot and chose to undergo the FTMAP out of her own volition. The other children who did not chose to enlist where sent to refugee camps, or dealt with according to standard procedures.

- Background, During Service: 00017 has been deployed in a number of successful missions ever since he has been put in active service. Her most prominent specialties are close air support and naval based operations however, 00017's air engagement records, show that she's also a very skilled dogfighter, taking advantage of her choice plane's super-maneuverability and high speed features as well as enhanced weapons systems to devastating effects. Overall, 00017 can be considered a true multirole fighter pilot.

The largest engagement to which 00017 has been deployed up to this date was the battle of the Granado Canal. 00017 sunk the Garibaldi, a Satean frigate, with a direct impact from an anti-ship missile to the ship's stern. The missile was delivered in a very-low altitude, high-speed bypass, overcoming the ship's defenses with a risky but effective maneuver. This, and 00017's other brash tactics, has earned her a nickname among other pilots (mostly non-Faceless ones), the "Rampaging" Tiger.

The subject has undergone advanced endurance, survival and personal defense training, and is considered apt for solo missions.

Estimated Kill Count: 03 CAUs, 01 ship, 17+ airborne targets, 50+ ground targets, 00 non-combatants.

- Psychological Profile: 00017 displays typical symptoms
of PTSD, with periods of depression followed by periods of great excitement. 00017 has shown a strong sense of individuality, requesting that she were allowed to keep a non-standard hairstyle as a reward for her successive achievements, instead of a promotion.

00017 has also shown maverick behavior during combat, relying on brash tactics and unconventional solutions to overcome the opposition.

Specialization: Fighter Aircraft.

Name of Machine: Su-37B "Flanker-G", Carrier enabled, multirole version of the Su-37.

Machine's Flyby Picture:

Attachment #003:

Profile: The Flanker G has undergone significant refitting from its base model, the Su-37, to perform reliably on naval operations as well as close air support/bombing missions, the biggest tactical advantage of fighter jets over CAUs.

00017's plane has seen a number of successful deployments, without suffering significant damage in over 13 sorties, despite the individual's known daredevil tendencies. 00017's plane has been further modified with the addition of Azimuthal launch pods for the main launchers as well as an improved rear radar system, granting it unrivaled dogfighting prowess.

Modifications: Azimuthal launching pods (can fire missiles, or rockets at any angle, including directly behind)x2, improved rear radar, reinforced airframe.

Personal Color Scheme: Despite the subject's strong drive for individuality, she has opted for the standard issue camouflage. Apparently, she believes that it looks "cool enough" that way.

OATH: I, A FACELESS PILOT, SWEAR UNDYING LOYALTY TO THE PRINCIPALITY OF REMONI, I DECLARE THAT I WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR HER, HER PEOPLE, HER GOALS, I AM ENSURED CERTAIN RIGHTS AND DUTIES AS A FACELESS PILOT AND I WILL ALWAYS ACCOMPLISH THESE DUTIES WITHOUT QUESTION AND WILL NEVER BREAK MY LOYALTY TO THE PRINCIPALITY. IF I DO BREAK THIS OATH, MAY IT MEAN MY DEATH. MAY THE PRINCIPALITY AND HIS MAJESTY BE BLESSED.

Faceless Type: Type A

Bio: Marcel Marsters was born in the Monarchy of Grand Tannia, and like all young working class men he was enlisted in military school from the age of 10. This was an order passed by the king of Grand Tannia Vespit Rylan XI to secure the border of the the large island nation. Tannia's land is rich in resources but because of the unpredictable nature with the neighboring land of the lost territories, their trade with the mostly friendly Shipan nation is very difficult. The lost territories are home to many bandits, pirates and cultists who frequently sink cargo ships from Tannia, which has forced the proud monarchy to over develop their Naval and Air Forces to allow safe transport. Marcel Marsters was not a particularly special individual. But he has a very high skill level in the air, and sortied at least 120 times before being enlisted as a faceless. He of course has no memory of his life, but knows some topical facts about the North-eastern politics.

Gunther Huntero

Faceless Type: Type A

Biography

Bio: Gunther, also known as Sweet Tooth, would be nowhere if it wasn't for his second-in-command/copilot/better-half Kara, also known as DollFace. Even when they were young, Kara would chase him around the makeshift airfield that his father used to land his crop dusters. Together they'd laugh and play and even watch his dad fly overhead when he was enlisted. It was almost an everyday thing. When Gunther became of age... The age of 9, his father taught him how to fly an old SU-33 that he used to teach other pilots back in the day how to fly. It was practically brand new since his father kept in pristine condition. It never had live ammunition in it, but his father never stressed enough to never press the fire button on the joystick. By the time he turned ten, Gunther could fly like he had been doing it his whole life. Kara would use an old radio in the barn to talk to them while they flew around. His father was impressed with her skill since that radio couldn't even pick up a radio station even if it was right next to it.

Everything was good, That was until the Federation of Satea attacked. August 1st, 2008... was a date that wouldn't be soon forgotten. Everyone was awoken by the sirens and the roars of jet fighters. Gunther woke up with a start as he ran outside trying to see what had happened. The city just on the horizon seemed like someone set the whole place on fire. The formations of jet fighters flew over leaving trails of burned fuel from missile pods.

"What is happening," Kara cried as she ran up the hill towards Gunther. They collided in a hug as he shielded her from what was happening in front of them. It was a brutal fight and all Gunther could remember was seeing the Angels fly overhead. 'Go get them dad,' he said to himself as he turned his attention to his mother who was frantically moving their things into the truck. He whispered to Kara that they had to get to his mother. They started to run over just before a stray or guided missile struck the house. The explosion was strong enough to send Kara airborne. If it wasn't for Gunther holding her hand, she might have been more seriously injured than she was. Gunther had grabbed onto the tether ball pole which was cemented into the ground and grounded him as well. He suffered a severe burn on his right hand but never let go of neither the pole nor Kara. The Satean's dropped bombs on the makeshift airfield that his father used.

Gunther told Kara to use the old radio, that she was already very fond of, to see if she could pick-up the radio traffic of the Angels. Gunther watched as she ran towards the barn then turned to run to help his mother. The truck was destroyed along with the whole left side of the house. Gunther fell to his knee's as he saw what became of his mother. He grabbed the burned black left hand of his mother and claimed the ring that was on her finger. He also found the necklace that he and his father got her. The rest of her body was nowhere to be seen. Bits and pieces of her were sprayed a whole fifty yard radius. The roar of jets snapped Gunther out of his tears as he rolled back over to his feet and ran towards the barn.

"I can't hear anything. It's all jumbled... I can't tell what is going on," Kara frantically cried as Gunther grabbed her hand again. "Forget it! We'll try again later! We got to get to my fathers Hangar. There's a cellar there. We should be safe there!"

After a good chunk of the fighting was done and over, the Deindre militia forces came. They found Kara and Gunther and took them to safety. It was two years later that Gunther ran away from the orphanage/homeless shelter to return home. He intended to make the journey alone, but Kara wasn't about to let that happen. Together they made it back to his fathers airfield. He removed the tarp that covered his fathers training jet. An old SU-33 that he was more than adept at flying. The Sateans would fly overhead every so often and it was his intention to shoot them down. It was easier said than done, since he could barely lift the missiles that were required to take them down.

His luck changed when an old family friend, Danny, found them trying to lift one of these highly explosive armaments. He was extremely opposed to the idea of a twelve year old boy flying a jet but after hearing his story, he helped them anyway. Kara jumped into the copilots seat while Gunther took the pilots seat.

Their first flight was pretty much just a practice mission. He flew very low and very fast. Kara almost passed out the first time they hit High G. It also didn't help that Gunther flew like he was apart of an airshow. It was their second flight that became their first mission. A Satean fighter split off from the group and was flying over the mountains. He didn't even see them coming as he had his cockpit blown to bits by the 30mm cannon of the SU-33. It was a fast and quick operation and the wreckage of the Satean fighter was scavenged by Gunther and Danny.

The Sateans flew overhead in search of their missing comrade but turned up with nothing. Kara constantly listened in for any solo fighters. One day they were lucky, as there was a dog fight and two Satean fighters escaped in need of desperate repairs. Again, Gunther took the the skies and made quick work of the fighters. This attack however didn't go unanswered. The Satean's located the old airport and began to question Danny, Kara, and Gunther before Danny gunned the soldiers down. Danny quickly rearmed the SU-33 and told them to fly to the Principality of Remoni. He had been hearing about some sort of program that was called Faceless something or other. As they took over, they received small arms fire and the death of their close friend Danny as he rebelled the best he could.

Gunther fortunately made it to Remoni. They were however out of fuel and he made an emergency landing at an unmarked airfield. Where he and Kara were apprehended by those of the Faceless organization. They were introduced as Sweet Tooth and DollFace. Soon after that, they were both enlisted as true faceless operative. They still use the same SU-33 code named, "War Hammer." When he turned 16, he already at 15 kills, and by the time he turned 17, he doubled it to 35. His missions slowed as he approached the age of 18 only having a total of 57 total enemy kills. He had several encounters with the extraterrestrial's however they all ended with a full retreat. Especially when the Sateans decided to bring into action their CAU's. Gunther always enjoyed watching their heads explode or go flying off when a missile connected with it. Never considered it a real kill though, since their pilots were in their chests or something.

Name: Maja Novak

Callsign: Screwdriver

Age: 18

Country of Origin: Empire of Yuka and Wyd (Modern day Democratic Yuka)

Appearance:

Official Photo

Faceless Type: Type A

Bio:
-Prior to Service with the Principality of Remoni
INFORMATION DELETED BY ORDER OF THE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE

-Service History with the Principality of Remoni
60606 was selected for the FTMAP at the age of 15, which she finished exactly one year later, entering Faceless Squadron 12. She specialized in ground combat using airborne mecha, which was a unique skill among her peers, to say the least. One of her first assignments was on the Joint Front, where she made an admirable service record for herself fighting against both extraterrestrials and the occasional Federation of Satea skirmishers. However, over the six months after she joined the squadron, her fellow squadron members slowly were either transferred out after incidents or were even lost in combat, leaving her alone until she was soon transferred to Faceless Squadron 9.

Her time with this squadron was much longer, mostly due to it being deployed in a much calmer area, mostly doing wargames and training exercises, but following a transfer to a hot zone of the Remonish-Satean border, the same fate that Squadron 12 met befell Squadron 9 and by the time half the squadron was gone, it was put on standby while replacements were found. 60606 was transferred six months ago to the Principality’s military attaché group in the Empire of Yuka and Wyd, serving as a trainer for the Empire’s fledgling airborne mecha force and posing as the daughter of the head of the military attaché. With the bubbling hostilities between the two nations of the Satean continent threatening to boil over, she has been transferred back into active Faceless duty, now with Faceless Squadron 7.

Note: We’ve tried to group her with squadron members who don’t know of her past history and we appear to have been successful. We’ve also spoken with 60606 (God, I hate saying her damn number aloud, who the hell thought it was a good idea to let the Faceless choose their own ID numbers?) about not revealing her past history and she is, as always, cooperative. As a reward, the quartermaster of wherever she’s stationed is required to freely supply her with two packs of Royal Spark military-issue cigarettes a day.

Personality Traits
60606 has at once a personality that warrants caution and admiration. While mischievous, seemingly a rebel, fiercely independent, self-centered and carefree in her duties, she follows orders with no hesitation. What’s worrying about the latter is how well she follows her orders: she stops at nothing to achieve said orders and is apparently totally apathetic to all collateral damage. While she will always protect her squadron mates, it is believed that she only does it for her own good. However, outside of her duties, she is fairly sociable, though some specialists have suggested it’s only to keep herself occupied. She constantly smokes, going through a pack on a normal day and often exceeding her allowed two packs on a particularly dull or exciting day.

Note from Maintenance: Can someone please get this girl to stop smoking in the cockpit of her mech? The electronics that get damaged are cheap, but it’s a pain in the ass to replace them all the time. If she doesn’t stop, she can do it herself, damn it, I hate the smell in there.
Response from Faceless Pilot: Sure. (-。-)y-゜゜゜

She is fluent in Yukan, Satean and Remonish and often spends her free time either reading or browsing the Internet, when allowed.

Specialization: Airborne Mecha

Name of Machine: M-13/09 “Diamond Axe”

Profile: Originally a standard-issue M-13 “Diamond”, 60606 crashed it during a wargame between various Faceless squadrons a year ago and decided to have the legs be replaced with those of a surplus M-09 “Axe” and the flier core with that of a long obsolete M-02 “Dancer”, which she personally believes is more reliable than the more recent, artificially augmented cores. Other than these modifications and a modified paintjob, her mech is a stock M-13.

Modifications:

• The legs from an M-09 make the mech heavier and less maneuverable in flight, but more protected in the legs, more maneuverable on the ground and allows the pilot to make rougher and more sudden landings without fear of damaging the lower half.
• The fully organic core from an M-02 lacks the artificial tampering made to allow faster acceleration and easier takeoffs using electromagnetic catapults, but 60606 believes it is more reliable and it is in fact more energy efficient.

Personal Color Scheme: Three color camouflage in the following colors:

• 241148
• E2255B
• F9F8F4

Preferred Loadout:

• Two (2) 36 millimeter assault cannons.
• One (1) 120 millimeter short smoothbore cannon.
• One (1) combat blade.

OATH: I, A FACELESS PILOT, SWEAR UNDYING LOYALTY TO THE PRINCIPALITY OF REMONI, I DECLARE THAT I WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR HER, HER PEOPLE, HER GOALS, I AM ENSURED CERTAIN RIGHTS AND DUTIES AS A FACELESS PILOT AND I WILL ALWAYS ACCOMPLISH THESE DUTIES WITHOUT QUESTION AND WILL NEVER BREAK MY LOYALTY TO THE PRINCIPALITY.

Personal Note by Wing Commander REDACTED: This guy will apparently be the squadron leader of Faceless Squadron 7 on the ground. Rumor has it that he attempted to desert, but got torn apart inside by REDACTED before he could get out. He’s one of the oldest Faceless around though and he’s been at it for years, so I see why they kept him. It’s not all that strange for a Faceless either, but he was an ace in day. I look forward to working with him.

Name: Gene

Callsign: Wolf

Age: 17

Country of Origin: United States of New Norn

Appearance:

Hider

Faceless Type: Type A

Bio: Gene has shown no instances of disobedience or questions about his past life since becoming a Faceless Pilot. Gene is a capable mech pilot and is one-track minded in fulfilling his duty. However, Gene is not socially awkward or particularly distant, just very focused on what it is he wants to do at the present moment.

Gene is a dedicated soldier and spends time exercising when not immediately on duty. Gene's sole life motivation seems to be a soldier's life and cannot currently see any life beyond it, considering his lack of past memories. Despite his lack of social awkwardness Gene lacks other hobbies to talk about with other as he focuses on combat related subjects, and thus is unable to make a meaningful connection with others who do have other interests during non-combat time.

Specialization: Mecha

Name of Machine: M-09 Axe

Profile: The mech is a standard issue M-09 that was obtained shortly after training was complete as a Faceless pilot. The mech has has barely seen any wear as Gene's FTMAP started when he was 16 and finished only this year, which is the exact amount of time a FTMAP takes.

Modifications: A slight improvement to unit maneuverability while sacrificing as little as it's original performance as possible.

Five (5) Digit MOD Identification Number: 61854

Name: Audrey Burkins

Callsign: Phoenix

Age: 17

Country of Origin: Principality of Remoni

Appearance:

Official Photo

Faceless Type: B

Bio:

-Prior to Service with the Principality of Remoni
61854 was raised in a military environment due to her father being one of the most notorious mecha pilots to ever serve under the Remoni name, Mitch Burkins. Her father served her country with honor and valor, defending not only his borders but the entire world from those who threatened to take away its freedom. 61854 spent any hours with her father when he was off duty, and when he was away her mother would regale her with stories of his achievements, fueling their daughters admiration for both him and the military he served under. Due to his status and name, 61854 and her mother were given special privilege to visit her father at the base near the Satean border where she'd fawn over the weapon her father piloted and mingle with the many other heroes that resided.

It was misfortune that 61854 was present on the base during an attack by Satean forces in a sneak attack meant to weaken Remoni border defenses. While she and her mother took cover in a bunker meant for such occasions, Mitch Burkins and his fellow pilots fought to defend their country from the invading forces. While damages high, the Satean troops were successfully repelled, though among the casualties was Mitch Burkins who placed his mecha in the line of enemy fire to protect the bunker. It was a few years after the aforementioned incident that 61854 at the age of 13 happily accepted her call to duty, presumably to take up her fathers mantle and fight for her country.

-Service History with the Principality of Remoni
61854 was handpicked specifically to pilot the newly acquired CAU Mk X "Risen Sparrow" and has undergone countless field tests and simulations with the mecha. Once tweaking and modification of the mecha was completed, 61854 was cleared for combat against enemy forces and has since completed a handful of successful missions. Against both Satean forces and extraterrestrials 61854 has shown a skill level comparable to that of her late father, with her mecha receiving minimal damage throughout he service. She has shown an affinity for the combat shield, preferring to protect the lightly armored part of her mecha while wielding her weapon with the bulkier arm of the M-13 "Diamond", swapping between rushing down ranged opponents with her halberd and circling melee opponents while raining down gunfire upon them.

Personality Traits
She has shown herself as a confident and loyal combatant, opting to prioritize the safety of her team over her own. On top of that, 61854 is willing to do nearly whatever it takes to complete the mission, sometimes going rogue to do what she feels is best. However, she tries to minimize collateral damage as much as possible as to protect civilian life. Being specially selected seems to have made her slightly arrogant and cocky, seeing herself as the next Mitch Burkins. She can be stubborn when taking orders and is extremely hard to budge from her beliefs, though her focus on the cause and serving her country is enough to overlook this issue. While her attitude has been known to get on the nerves of whatever team she has been assigned to, 61854 generally bubbly and caring nature tends to either mend or further burn any bridges her arrogance would destroy. 61854 has been extremely friendly to most she comes across, though has shown to become easily annoyed with those who question her skills or are flippant when approached.

Specialization: Airborne Mecha

Name of Machine: CAU Mk X "Risen Sparrow"

Profile:
One of the only functional CAU Mk X "Sparrow"s recovered from the Principality, it has only been modified as necessary as to remain as close as possible to the mecha's original capabilities. As such, its right arm has been refitted with that of a M-13 "Diamond" due to the original being destroyed in the recovery process. The CAU MK X "Risen Sparrow" has only seen a handful of deployments due to considerable time being spent on studying and repairing the foreign weapon. However, 61854 has been trained extensively in its use both in and out of combat.

Modifications:
The right arm of a standard issue M-13 "Diamond", while hampering the mechs usual speed with the added weight, this gives the added appendage the extra armor of its competition while still maintaining a considerable maneuverability advantage.

Personal Color Scheme:
CAU Mk X "Sparrow" parts: Gold
M-13 "Diamond" parts: Red

Preferred Loadout (for airborne mecha):

• One (1) 36 millimeter assault cannon
• One (1) combat halberd
• One (1) combat shield

File Photo

Faceless Type: A

Bio:
- Service History to date
Subject Amita underwent her FTMAP approximately two years ago. She has exhibited occasional physical and mental issues after the procedures' completion, but still falls within acceptable parameters as set by [redacted].

Following completion of the procedure and her training period, she was assigned to the Erustan Air Force, where she was part of the ongoing operations to put down rebellious Royalist elements within the country seeking to overthrow the democratic government. She showed great competency and precision in her perfomance in both counter-air and air-to-ground operations, frequently flying in dangerous situations or terrain to perform interdiction and deep-strike operations against key installations or targets belonging to the Royalist insurgent forces.

After several successful tours and operations, she was rotated back to Air Forces research command where she was part of ongoing efforts to develop and research more effective aircraft and weapon systems, and participate in further exercises revolving around effective employment of Faceless pilots alongside conventional forces. During this time she was introduced to her co-pilot Ajay, and the two have worked together since.

After a further tour of duty which involved repelling a massed assault on the capital by Royalist forces and fierce aerial engagements that has seemed to stem the ongoing insurgency for the meantime, Amita and Ajay have been assigned to Faceless Squadron 7 as part of an exchange and training program to improve and better their skills, and as a contribution from our government to the brewing war.

- Personality traits
Amita has shown particular skill and expertise in mastering the art of air-to-ground warfare, particular in the area of low-level bombing and strike. Her understanding of flight dynamics and the requirements of battlefield control and theatre-level strategy applied to airpower are impressive for an individual of her age.

On a personal level, Amita exhibits a vibrant and lively personality, albeit one with a tendency to swing into moments of sullenness, as with any teenager.

Her intelligence and physical aptitude are high, and she shows a keen interest and curiosity about the world, and while shy, enjoys meeting new people. This must be watched carefully, should she inadvertently risk any information regarding the program itself, or put herself or any other vital assets in a position to be exploited or at risk.
However, she is motivated by positive reward and praise, and seeks to please others around her, and to gain their approval. She has a high level of empathy for others and a strong desire to protect and nurture those who cannot help themselves; likely a residual trait of personality from [REDACTED].

She shows a strong bond of friendship with her co-pilot Ajay Chandrasekhar, though they often act much like teenagers and fall out, have fights and annoy each other for no reason. Nonetheless, they are more than capable of overcoming their personal differences to work together when need be.

Aside from socializing and making new friends, Amita seems to enjoy swimming and water-related activities a great deal which is encouraging for her physical fitness levels. She also has some level of inherent artistic talent, and seems to like sketching scenes of everyday life when otherwise not preoccupied wih study towards her duties and schooling. She also has a strong fondness for animals, and has frequently asked if she may have a pet of some kind. It is recommended this perhaps be used as a motivational factor for her continued loyalty and obedience.

The FB-18U 'Ultra Hornet' is a domestically produced variant of the F/A-18 Super Hornet. It fulfils the role of long-range heavy strike, anti-shipping and long-range reconnaissance in the Erustan Air Force, or will do so once it reaches full production. Currently, the aircraft is in limited operational usage and testing. It is the most advanced aircraft produced by the Erustan Aerospace Industry to date, and still relies on significant international co-operation (in fact, the continued security of this co-operation was one of the key things that lead to the deployment of personnel to Faceless Squadron 7).

The FB-18U remodels the Super Hornet into an aircraft more akin to the RA-5 Vigilante carrier-based bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, or the land-based (and originally planned to be carrier-based) F-111, a dual role aircraft capable of sustained high speed at low altitude, and carrying a heavy payload of weaponry, or alternatively a large suite of reconnaissance equipment.
The concept is modernised by including current and advanced materials, electronics, design theory and sensors, and starting from a proven airframe. Using an existing aircraft instead of a clean-sheet design has kept lead-times and development costs down, and allows minimal re-training, and the use of F/A-18's as conversion trainers. Similarly, parts commonality is high, reducing stress on existing logistics and supply infrastructure and further reducing the need for training of new personnel completely.

The FB-18U is fully compatible with all existing Erustan and allied weapon systems currently in use, and has room in its' software architecture and physical design to accomodate future expansion and the inclusion of new equipment as needed.

Like the Super Hornet it is derived from, the Ultra Hornet incorporates features to reduce its radar signature, but is not a 'stealth' aircraft overall. These features do significantly reduce it's overall signature, and combined with ECM and skilful flying and use of terrain features can massively reduce chances of detection by hostile forces. Research is underway to develop stealthy weapons pods and fuel tanks to increase the useable weapons load on operations oriented towards stealth.

The primary changes to the aircraft, aside from the obvious physical changes in dimensions and overall appearance are the inclusion of more powerful F-135 engines for increased thrust and sustained speed, and an overall upgrade of sensor systems, including the addition of an onboard electro-optical sensor and guidance system, as well as an AESA radar and helmet-mounted sight-and-cueing systems for both crewmembers. Future additions may include vectored-thrust engines, among other potential expansions and upgrades.

Modifications:
Experimental Plasma Stealth system; uses a high-energy thermal plasma to absorb incoming radar waves. However, the heating effect of the plasma means the system is limited to short amounts of use, and activation of the system creates a brief radar blooming effect. Additionally, while in use, the aircraft has a greatly increased thermal signature, and is unable to use external weapon systems, as they interfere with the plasma sheath. Nonetheless, being completely invisible to radar for short periods of time has its' uses.

The FB-18U is also capable of landing and taking off from an aircraft carrier, as well as short-field takeoff and landing, however it must be lightly loaded for such operations, and is at its' best operating from land bases.

Preferred Loadout :
1 x Internal Rotary-barrelled cannon
1 x internal weapons bay for up to 2,000lb of ordnance and two air-to-air missiles
8 x External hardpoints (2x wingtip, 3 x under each wing) for a variety of mixed air-to-air and air-to-surface ordnance or other mission systems, such as refuelling pods, additional fuel tanks, cargo pods, ECM pods and reconnaissance systems.
All standard loadouts include two MultiPods, usually of the low-observable type unless otherwise specified.

Faceless Type: A

Bio:
- Service History to date
Subject Ajay underwent his FTMAP approximately two years ago. He has been an exemplary physical specimen since that time. He occasionally shows problems with memory recall and speaks of events that have not happened, and experiences vivid dreams and nightmares that he often cannot recall on waking. Otherwise, he meets all normal markers for an effective Faceless pilot.

Following completion of the procedure, Ajay was given a full regimen of training. An attempt was made to abduct him during this time, but he outwitted and defeated his would-be captors, and turned them over to authorities. It was during this incident he acquired the distinctive scar on his face, after being cut with a knife by one of the assailants.

His flight training was smooth, though he struggled with some of the mathematics aspects, but was able to overcome this by approaching them with unconventional thinking and learning techniques, a trait that showed through in his subsequent service.

Ajay operated alongside conventional air force units, often undertaking key missions against heavily defended or strategic targets. He showed great aptitude in air-to-air combat and in interdiction strikes and counter-insurgency aerial warfare, often putting weapons on target in situations not normally thought to be viable, with minimal collateral damage and no loss of friendly lives.
The success of his missions lead to popularity for the 'jet with no name' as a close-air support and strike asset, as scuttlebutt and rumours circulated among the troops, and Ajay was rotated out of the theater of operations to lessen the chance of the project being revealed.

After being rotated away from the front, he was involved in the same extensive testing and research project as Amita Lakshmani, who shortly became his co-pilot for the F-18U Ultra Hornet. The pair showed great promise in the testing scheme, and scored highly at all markers during the projects' test milestones.

After a further tour of duty which involved repelling a massed assault on the capital by Royalist forces and fierce aerial engagements that has seemed to stem the ongoing insurgency for the meantime, Amita and Ajay have been assigned to Faceless Squadron 7 as part of an exchange and training program to improve and better their skills, and as a contribution from our government to the brewing war.

- Personality traits
Ajay has shown great aptitude in his role as an aerial combatant. He is highly capable and adaptable to the quickly-changing environment of a battlefield, and is quick to react and think. His creativity when it comes to strategy and tactics is one of his greatest strengths, and makes him a valuable asset on any battlefield.

He seems to be driven by a will to succeed and exceed his previous limits, and is strongly dedicated to completing his goals and briefed missions. The extent of his dedication to other causes beyond the immediate moment is unknown, but he appears to at least value the idea of a greater peace and stability if not doing more than paying lip-service to it. His desire to avoid civilian casualties and collateral damage also shows he has a desire to protect non-combatants and seek not to involve them in warfare or violence if necessary.

Aside from his martial prowess, Ajay is an intelligent, well-spoken and charismatic young man. He is very observant and attentive, though tends to be quiet and soft-spoken, and will often not speak unless spoken to first. He has good manners and bearing, and seems to have a introverted personality outside of combat and prefers quiet, personal pursuits such as reading. He does seem to enjoy building things and finding out how they work, and often seeks to spend time with maintenance and other support personnel to learn more about their duties and to participate if possible. He also seems to enjoy excercising his mind with construction kits and toys if given access to them, and reads a lot of technical manuals and information when he has access to it.

Despite his quiet and retiring demeanour, he will be friendly and agreeable if approached, albeit somewhat tentative in conversation and in his demeanour, unless one hits on the right subjects and information he has knowledge and passion for.

As mentioned previously, he is prone to short periods of day-dreaming or seeming to be lost in thought, and keeps journals. Examination of these reveals a 'stream of consciousness' form of writing that consists of strangely disjointed scenes of domestic life. Investigation is proceding to see if there is some significance to these episodes, and Ajay is being carefully monitored at this time for instabilities.

He gets on very well with his co-pilot, having a bond with her that borders between friends and siblings, and occasional flashes of romantic interest. This is being carefully monitored as well, should it affect their performance. However, as much as they get along, being teenagers they also fight frequently and fall out just as much; enforced close proximity frequently being a cause of this. Both have been shown to overcome their differences when needed or ordered to do so, however, and will quickly show their support for one another if either are threatened.

Kara Parry

Faceless Type: Type A

Bio: Kara isn't a super secretive person. Her family was killed when she was a young girl and Gunthers Father pretty much adopted her. However since he didn't have the proper permit and paperwork, she was secretly hidden inside the barn. Her education came from Gunthers mother who used to be a grade school teacher. She happened to find a knack for speaking, electronics, and communications. She was a god when it came to talking over the radio. Gunther could remember the terminology where as Kara excelled at it. There was never a day where they weren't in the sky.

Gunthers father always saw the two of them flying together for the Deindre Airforce. This of course never happened when the Sateans invaded. She never cared what could happen or what would happen. As long as she was with Gunther, she was safe. He was always there when she needed him. He was with his father when they found her. When the first bombs dropped and missiles fired, Gunther grabbed her and held onto her. She always felt, that somewhere deep inside her, she owed her life to him. She confessed her feelings for him multiple times, yet he always had that cold stare on his face. Even though he never said it back, she knew he loved her. His actions spoke stronger to her than any words ever could.
