Since the only Allies left in Asia are the Australians, New Zeelanders, Indians, and whatever is left of the French in Indochina, I think having people represent the allies from the area (Sola's character is from the UK so their perspective would be vastly less personal here) is a great idea. I cannot wait to see what you've got in mind, Sunny.

I too think having the representation of the Allies as well is something to be desired. The Comintern and Allies weren't always eye-to-eye. Aleyev may, simply for being Russian, have a reputation that some British/Colonial troops may find distasteful, and vice versa. One large and apparent envision of this is how the British Raj are essentially closing their borders, which restricts Russia from going through the Raj. However the ANZACs are likely to be more "Open" as they work with the Russians too.
Are you still accepting cause if so I’m interested.

NAME
Milena Kuznetsov
AGE
19
GENDER
Female
BIRTH-DATE / LOCATION
31-03-1930 - Tomsk, USSR
APPEARANCE
Milena is roughly 5'7, weighing in at exactly 129 pounds. She has brown hair and eyes, although she has partial heterochromia in her left eye, therefore a small portion is green as well. Milena has some generic scars throughout her body from childhood, but none of them are overly distinct. She has a couple of piercings on her ears and is always wearing a locket necklace her mother left for her as a good luck charm.
PERSONALITY
Milena is a gentle, caring spirit. Despite her young age, she's seen her fair share of medical horrors, thus she slowly began to rely on comedic relief to counteract the harsh realities of life. But her main personality traits don't entirely define her as a soldier neither in nor out of the battlefield. She is wise enough to separate her duties and responsibilities from her own personal life, and she has clear boundaries between work and play.
RELATIONSHIPS
To be determined.
CLASSIFICATION
Combat medic. Weapons included are the standard issue AVS-36 rifle and the TT-32 sidearm. Additionally, she carries a first-aid kit designed specifically for combat injuries.
EXPERIMENTAL GEAR
The Gatling Wrist Gun is, for the sake convenience, a partially handsfree revolver-styled weapon designed to fire from the wrist. The sturdy leather brace and its attachments absorb most of the recoil of the gun when it's fired. Instead of a traditional loading method, the cylinder is pulled out all the way in order for the bullets to be inserted. Once that's done, the cylinder is pushed back, twisting it to make sure it's locked in place. The hammer on this weapon is designed to act as the trigger, thus the user will still need a free hand. With that said, the disadvantage to this weapon revolves around the fact that the hammer doesn't have its own version of a trigger guard, therefore if it gets caught on something and enough pressure is applied, it will result in an accidental fire. Currently, this version of the gun is able to hold a maximum of eight bullets.
BACKGROUND
Milena's childhood was slightly complicated. Her mother passed away while giving birth to her, therefore she grew up with just her father, Dmitry. He was stern, but loving; such balance making life a little less troublesome for Milena as she was constantly learning valuable life lessons at a relatively young age. Dmitry also passed on a great deal of knowledge to Milena as she grew older, anything from hunting and survival skills to dressing a bullet wound. He was a doctor, one of a few within their town, and the idea of going into the medical field appealed to Milena more and more as the days went by. Eventually, that's what Milena decided on when she was old enough, and her father was extremely proud of her for chasing her dreams despite the challenges she would face..
On the evening of Milena's 15th birthday, they had a small gathering with her father and two of her closest friends. They were home just enjoying a simple celebratory meal when a gang of 3 men burst in through the front door. Milena and her friends immediately fled to the bedroom the moment Dmitry ordered them to do so. They rushed in and locked the door behind them, and despite all the adrenaline coursing through their bodies, the three girls stayed silent as their ears remained glued to the door. There was incomprehensible arguing, some things being thrown around, and eventually, a single gunshot. That's when Milena couldn't hide anymore. She unlocked the door despite her friends pleading her to do otherwise, and she rushed to the living room only to find her father's lifeless corpse. Her friends followed her outside just a few moments after the fact, and they were met with a hysterical Milena who was holding her dead father in her arms. The intruders were long gone, realizing that the neighbors would hear the gunshot and would obviously go investigate the noise.
From that moment on, Milena lived alone and learned to fend for herself. Even though there was great sorrow in her heart, she didn't use her emotions as an excuse to deviate from her goals. Roughly two and a half years passed before she decided to join the armed forces...mainly to continue learning about the medical field, but in a way, to also avenge her father by going after the men whose hearts remained as dark as those that belonged to the intruders responsible for her father's death.

NAME:
Santiago, Katrina I. (Ibanez)
AGE:
22
GENDER:
Female
DATE OF BIRTH:
04/29/1927
LOCATION OF BIRTH:
Manila City, Luzon Island, Philippines Isles
[+]-----------------------------------------------------------[+]
APPEARANCE:
She is a natural Filipina beauty, only around 5’1 in height and with light, sun kissed skin. Her light, 120lbs frame and figure is all due to her history being part of one of many Filipino resistance groups against Japan. The hot, brutal jungles of the Philippines are one of the most dense in the world, her build would be quite lean as traversing the terrain works the body.
As for clothing, she wears anything that was available, whether it was men sized clothes, USAFFE uniforms, or even just normal women’s clothes – basically anything that was available at the time until she was able to pick up a uniform from USAFFE surplus along with some of the pouches, straps, socks and boots in her size. She still wears it today though it is a bit worn down and she had lost the helmet sometime ago. However, on the shoulder and waist is a reminder of what was and what was to be, the patch of the 1st infantry division which was to become one of the first infantry divisions of the Philippine republic after their independence and her traditional combat bolo knife that she keeps sheathed and strapped to her waist.
PERSONALITY:
To put her personality into words, she is spontaneous, hardworking, and expressive but at the same time she can be very candid and calm. She always puts a smile on her face to bring morale up, even when times seem hopeless, she always says the right words to calm people down, even though deep down she feels like the world around her is coming apart at the seams.
Her perseverance and persistence to go on in the face of insurmountable odds is what keeps the people around her somewhat calm, collected, and determined, and it helped that she was both resourceful and brave. While she was in the Philippines fighting alongside the Guerrillas and USAFFE, her quick thinking allowed her group to escape capture multiple times and allowed them to sabotage and capture Japanese equipment – even when it seems like she’s pushing the envelope.
In general, she is the kind of woman that won’t just sit around and do nothing when everyone else fights. She figured that she – a citizen of the Philippines – should have as much a right to fight for her country as much as any other man and it beats being comfort woman for the Japanese to use. However, she did it for more than that, she did it because she loved her country and her people; she continues to hold hope for a better future.

CLASSIFICATION:RIFLEMAN
Katrina during her time with the Guerrilla fighters mostly used captured Arisaka or USAFFE issued m1903 a1s. She was used to bolt action rifles and was most familiar with their operation and maintenance. Her side arm of choice was the M1911 pistol over the Japanese made Nambu, and her melee weapon was a Filipino made Bolo – a large knife that was both used as a tool and a weapon.
When she got to Indochina she switched out her m1903 a1 with a Mas 36 – a french made rifle heavily used by the french remnant and some of the indochinese resistance. She used that rifle throughout the Japanese invasion of Vietnam.
When she finally got to the USSR she traded in her Mas for a Mosin Nagant and switched her sidearm to the TT-32 Tokarev pistol – to which she admits feels very similar in both how it is maintained and how it shoots compared to the M1911 that she’s used to. However, she never once considered switching her Bolo out for something smaller, it was something that reminded her of home.
EQUIPMENT AND PERSONAL BELONGINGS
Equipment:
-Mosin Nagant model 91/30 (Though she would prefer something like a Mas or a Springfield)
-TT-32
-Bolo Knife
-DBL-48 Mortar rounds x8 (x4 smoke & 4x incendiary)
Personal belongings:
-Neatly folded Philippine flag
-Used Sketchbooks
-A variety of pencils of differing origin
-Pictures of Family
EXPERIMENTAL GEAR
Katrina was given the DBL-48 is a double-barreled, over/under, breach loaded mortar launcher. When this was being developed, Russian engineers were given certain criteria:
1. It must be easy to operate and maintain.
2. It must be light and portable while being easy to maneuver and aim.
3. It must be effective at taking out soft enemy targets like infantry, trucks, or buildings.
The URD was able to whip up the first prototype for the DBL-48 and put it through its paces while testing different types of ammunition alongside it. It was capable of lobbing the smaller mortar shells accurately up to about 400 meters. However, repeated tests have shown that increasing the frequency of fire would overheat the barrels which would lead to damage and an overall loss in accuracy. Their goal was to be able to make mortars more available and efficient to carry in the field and develop more ammunition types capable of inflicting maximum damage upon impact and maximum utility.
The DBL-48 is able to use standard explosive shrapnel ammunition, and experimental incendiary and smoke ammunition. Smoke was essential in many situations such as escape and evade tactics, while Incendiary ammunition gave it the ability to control the battlefield by dictating which areas were accessible to enemy infantry.
Despite its supposed advantages the DBL-48 remains largely untested in field conditions and whether or not the ammunition provided works as intended under these conditions as the design of the mortar shell had to be changed to fit the DBL-48, the shell is now propelled by a gunpowder cartridge, this design has been proven to work in controlled environments but it was yet to be tested in combat conditions; additionally, despite the DBL-48 being smaller than a regular mortar tube and is operable by one person, it is still somewhat cumbersome and heavy plus the extra ammunition adds on to the weight a soldier would have to carry. There would be specific problems as well in regards to ammunition in the field as it would not be readily available and firing the weapon accurately at the enemy would require time, strength and practice.

BACKGROUND
Katrina was born and raised in the capital city of Manila, she was fortunate to have been born during an era of prosperity and friendly relations between the United States and the Philippines. She was born into a well off family that could give her the proper education she needed – at this time English was one of the primary languages that was being taught in schools due to the Philippines being heavily influenced by the U.S..
During the time spanning 1930 to 1936 there was an increasing, unyielding sentiment of independence from the Filipino people. Katrina was too young to understand at the time, she had only learned so much about her own country. She was aspiring to be an artist of some sort, dancing, singing, maybe even just playing an instrument, or even painting or drawing.
The Philippines became a commonwealth undergoing a ten year transitional period before gaining independence. The Philippines was set to gain her independence by 1946, but just 5 years before the set date, the Empire of the Rising Sun – Japan attacked and swept the Pacific like a strong typhoon.-
She was fifteen when the Japanese attacked the Philippines, with it came seven years of fighting, whether it be conventional or through sabotage and ambush. During that time, Katrina heavily involved herself with the resistance movements, from the fall of Manila in 1942 all the way to 1946 a year after the Japanese invasion of the U.S. West Coast. It was at this point that morale was starting to run low, the unbreakable will of the Filipinos still burned strong, however with each passing day, victory against the Japanese forces was starting to look like an impossibility as U.S. relief would not be coming soon.
The U.S. Pacific fleet that had been battling it out with the Japanese were called back to reinforce the Atlantic – before the Pacific fleet departed, they kept a garrison of Marines on the islands, a few small ships, a few aircraft, and gave them a promise that they would return to give the Jap’s fleet hell. They never did return – a promise unfulfilled.
The puppet government party known as KALIBAI and the infamous Japanese secret police known as Kempeitai were cracking down harder on resistance groups. It was becoming progressively harder to mount a successful resistance after being whittled down so much for so long. Many resistance fighters were shifting from fighting the Japanese to focusing on getting as many people out of the Philippines as possible and Katrina’s group was one of these people. They went on boats that were set out towards either the ANZAC held territories or towards the British Raj. Many either ended up at their destination, or ended up in more contested territories, or got shot to pieces by Japanese vessels or Japanese aircraft doing strafing runs.
There were close to 600,000 guerrilla fighters from over 200 separate resistance groups around the Philippines at their peak, by 1946 the Japanese have narrowed their numbers to nearly 150,000 and by 1948 the Philippine resistance along with all remaining USAFFE have all been snuffed out.
Katrina had left with her group of survivors during the year 1946, a year after her mother and her brother escaped. Escape efforts continued until 1948 when the Japanese tightened up their security around the strategically important Philippine Isles following the success of ANZAC in liberating Malaysia and the Dutch East Indies.
Refugees and resistance fighters bounced from island to island, country to country, with the war raging in the pacific and resistance at an all time high. Katrina’s group was lucky enough to have been able land and meet with a resistance group in Vietnam after enduring Japanese strafing runs and dodging enemy patrols at sea – their group of small vessels, rafts, and rowboats made it to the coast of French Indochina.
Katrina would then find herself helping the resistance movement using all she’s learned in the Philippine conflict. Her combat experience however is limited, she has never been formally trained even though she has been fighting for over five years alongside her people and American soldiers that were part of the USAFFE and now she was fighting with French Indochinese. Her life has been hectic, from a life of peace expecting independence, to an era of vast conflict and hostile occupation all over the globe.
By mid 1946 the Japanese were ramping up their assault on Vietnam, the fighting grew evermore intense; it was becoming increasingly clear that Katrina and the remainder of her people might have to leave again. By early 1947 Sih Bao took most of his people and led them through China into the USSR, hopping from resistance group to resistance group. Chinese resistance was diverse, reminding her of what the Philippines had before she left. They all had differing stances and views on the conflict raging in China and they all had different opinions on how to deal with it.
By the time they got to the USSR it was already 1948 and when the opportunity arose to fight she volunteered again, this time she was invited to join Squad-914 for her exploits during the invasion of Indochina. The rest of her group of Filipinos either volunteered to join regular divisions or simply waited for fate whether they’d be called up to fight as conscripts in the USSR or be left alone as refugees should. Katrina could not blame them, they have seen the face of conflict and carried its burdens on their shoulders for over seven years – through their homeland, through Vietnam, through China and now they are asked to fight again? Of course many would say no – they were tired and weary, they couldn’t take anymore.
Even she was tired, It has been so long, that she can barely remember the times when it was peaceful, the times when she wasn’t always expecting a bomb to drop on her head, the times when she wouldn’t fear a stray bullet striking her down. However, she had no choice – she promised to return one day and fight for their independence. She cannot and will not stop fighting until that one day, it’s the only thing that’s been keeping her going – hope that one day her people will be free. She has yet to discover the fate of the Philippine resistance and the remaining USAFFE members.
EXPERIENCE
Katrina’s experience in fighting is limited to ambush and sabotage as a guerrilla fighter in the Philippines and have only kept what little training she received from USAFFE who fought alongside Philippine Guerrillas and resistance fighters.
-USAFFE and Bolo training (1942-1943)
-Philippine resistance (1942-1946)
-Aiding French Indochinese Resistance (1946 - Early 1947)
-Travelling through occupied China (1947-1948)

By the time they got to the USSR it was already 1948 and when the opportunity arose to fight she volunteered again, this time she was invited to join Squad-914 for her exploits during the invasion of Indochina. The rest of her group of Filipinos either volunteered to join regular divisions or simply waited for fate whether they’d be called up to fight as conscripts in the USSR or be left alone as refugees should. Katrina could not blame them, they have seen the face of conflict and carried its burdens on their shoulders for over seven years – through their homeland, through Vietnam, through China and now they are asked to fight again? Of course many would say no – they were tired and weary, they couldn’t take anymore.
Even she was tired, It has been so long, that she can barely remember the times when it was peaceful, the times when she wasn’t always expecting a bomb to drop on her head, the times when she wouldn’t fear a stray bullet striking her down. However, she had no choice – she promised to return one day and fight for their independence. She cannot and will not stop fighting until that one day, it’s the only thing that’s been keeping her going – hope that one day her people will be free. She has yet to discover the fate of the Philippine resistance and the remaining USAFFE members.
EXPERIENCE
Katrina’s experience in fighting is limited to ambush and sabotage as a guerrilla fighter in the Philippines and have only kept what little training she received from USAFFE who fought alongside Philippine Guerrillas and resistance fighters.

THEME SONG
IN REAL LIFE FACTS
The song was originally a poem written in the 1929 by Jose Corazon de Jesus while we were still under American rule just a few years before we would become a commonwealth undergoing a 10 year transitional period before becomming independent. Incidentally the Japanese battled us on our homeland from 1941-1945 a year before the independence of the Philippines from the US - 4th of July 1946. The poem was then put to music by Constancio de Guzman during the 1980's when Marcos was still president and became very popular.

How's this?(Painting by Fernando Amorsolo, 1892-1972)[+]-----------------------------------------------------------[+]
Handa ako ibigay lahat para sa kalayaan ng ating ingang bayan at hindi ako titigil hanggat nakataas ang watawat natin sa lahat ng dako ng Pilipinas, ang mahal nating bayan. Ito ang pangako ko sa iyo.
Translation: I am prepared to give everything for the freedom of our motherland and I will not stop until our flag is raised throughout the Philippines, our beloved country. This is my promise to you[+]-----------------------------------------------------------[+]
NAME:
Santiago, Katrina I. (Ibanez)
AGE:
22
GENDER:
Female
DATE OF BIRTH:
04/29/1927
LOCATION OF BIRTH:
Manila City, Luzon Island, Philippines Isles[+]-----------------------------------------------------------[+]APPEARANCE:
She is a natural Filipina beauty, only around 5’1 in height and with light, sun kissed skin. Her light, 120lbs frame and figure is all due to her history being part of one of many Filipino resistance groups against Japan. The hot, brutal jungles of the Philippines are one of the most dense in the world, her build would be quite lean as traversing the terrain works the body.
As for clothing, she wears anything that was available, whether it was men sized clothes, USAFFE uniforms, or even just normal women’s clothes – basically anything that was available at the time until she was able to pick up a uniform from USAFFE surplus along with some of the pouches, straps, socks and boots in her size. She still wears it today though it is a bit worn down and she had lost the helmet sometime ago. However, on the shoulder and waist is a reminder of what was and what was to be, the patch of the 1st infantry division which was to become one of the first infantry divisions of the Philippine republic after their independence and her traditional combat bolo knife that she keeps sheathed and strapped to her waist.USAFFE General Issue Uniforms1st "Tabak" infantry division
PERSONALITY:
To put her personality into words, she is spontaneous, hardworking, and expressive but at the same time she can be very candid and calm. She always puts a smile on her face to bring morale up, even when times seem hopeless, she always says the right words to calm people down, even though deep down she feels like the world around her is coming apart at the seams.
Her perseverance and persistence to go on in the face of insurmountable odds is what keeps the people around her somewhat calm, collected, and determined, and it helped that she was both resourceful and brave. While she was in the Philippines fighting alongside the Guerrillas and USAFFE, her quick thinking allowed her group to escape capture multiple times and allowed them to sabotage and capture Japanese equipment – even when it seems like she’s pushing the envelope.
In general, she is the kind of woman that won’t just sit around and do nothing when everyone else fights. She figured that she – a citizen of the Philippines – should have as much a right to fight for her country as much as any other man and it beats being comfort woman for the Japanese to use. However, she did it for more than that, she did it because she loved her country and her people; she continues to hold hope for a better future.
RELATIONSHIPS:
TBDCLASSIFICATION:RIFLEMAN
Katrina during her time with the Guerrilla fighters mostly used captured Arisaka or USAFFE issued m1903 a1s. She was used to bolt action rifles and was most familiar with their operation and maintenance. Her side arm of choice was the M1911 pistol over the Japanese made Nambu, and her melee weapon was a Filipino made Bolo – a large knife that was both used as a tool and a weapon.
When she got to Indochina she switched out her m1903 a1 with a Mas 36 – a french made rifle heavily used by the french remnant and some of the indochinese resistance. She used that rifle throughout the Japanese invasion of Vietnam.
When she finally got to the USSR she traded in her Mas for a Mosin Nagant and switched her sidearm to the TT-32 Tokarev pistol – to which she admits feels very similar in both how it is maintained and how it shoots compared to the M1911 that she’s used to. However, she never once considered switching her Bolo out for something smaller, it was something that reminded her of home.
EQUIPMENT AND PERSONAL BELONGINGS
Equipment:
-Mosin Nagant model 91/30 (Though she would prefer something like a Mas or a Springfield)
-TT-32
-Bolo Knife
-DBL-48 Mortar rounds x8 (x4 smoke & 4x incendiary)
Personal belongings:
-Neatly folded Philippine flag
-Used Sketchbooks
-A variety of pencils of differing origin
-Pictures of Family
EXPERIMENTAL GEAR
Katrina was given the DBL-48 is a double-barreled, over/under, breach loaded mortar launcher. When this was being developed, Russian engineers were given certain criteria:
1. It must be easy to operate and maintain.
2. It must be light and portable while being easy to maneuver and aim.
3. It must be effective at taking out soft enemy targets like infantry, trucks, or buildings.
The URD was able to whip up the first prototype for the DBL-48 and put it through its paces while testing different types of ammunition alongside it. It was capable of lobbing the smaller mortar shells accurately up to about 400 meters. Their goal was to be able to make mortars more available and efficient to carry in the field and develop more ammunition types capable of inflicting maximum damage upon impact and maximum utility.
The DBL-48 is able to use standard explosive shrapnel ammunition, and experimental incendiary and smoke ammunition. Smoke was essential in many situations such as escape and evade tactics, while Incendiary ammunition gave it the ability to control the battlefield by dictating which areas were accessible to enemy infantry.
Despite its supposed advantages the DBL-48 remains largely untested in field conditions and whether or not the ammunition provided works as intended under these conditions as the design of the mortar shell had to be changed to fit the DBL-48, the shell is now propelled by a gunpowder cartridge, this design has been proven to work in controlled environments but it was yet to be tested in combat conditions; additionally, despite the DBL-48 being smaller than a regular mortar tube and is operable by one person, it is still somewhat cumbersome and heavy plus the extra ammunition adds on to the weight a soldier would have to carry.BACKGROUND
Katrina was born and raised in the capital city of Manila, she was fortunate to have been born during an era of prosperity and friendly relations between the United States and the Philippines. She was born into a well off family that could give her the proper education she needed – at this time English was one of the primary languages that was being taught in schools due to the Philippines being heavily influenced by the U.S..
During the time spanning 1930 to 1936 there was an increasing, unyielding sentiment of independence from the Filipino people. Katrina was too young to understand at the time, she had only learned so much about her own country. She was aspiring to be an artist of some sort, dancing, singing, maybe even just playing an instrument, or even painting or drawing.
The Philippines became a commonwealth undergoing a ten year transitional period before gaining independence. The Philippines was set to gain her independence by 1946, but just 5 years before the set date, the Empire of the Rising Sun – Japan attacked and swept the Pacific like a strong typhoon.-
She was fifteen when the Japanese attacked the Philippines, with it came seven years of fighting, whether it be conventional or through sabotage and ambush. During that time, Katrina heavily involved herself with the resistance movements, from the fall of Manila in 1942 all the way to 1946 a year after the Japanese invasion of the U.S. West Coast. It was at this point that morale was starting to run low, the unbreakable will of the Filipinos still burned strong, however with each passing day, victory against the Japanese forces was starting to look like an impossibility as U.S. relief would not be coming soon.
The U.S. Pacific fleet that had been battling it out with the Japanese were called back to reinforce the Atlantic – before the Pacific fleet departed, they kept a garrison of Marines on the islands, a few small ships, a few aircraft, and gave them a promise that they would return to give the Jap’s fleet hell. They never did return – a promise unfulfilled.
The puppet government party known as KALIBAI and the infamous Japanese secret police known as Kempeitai were cracking down harder on resistance groups. It was becoming progressively harder to mount a successful resistance after being whittled down so much for so long. Many resistance fighters were shifting from fighting the Japanese to focusing on getting as many people out of the Philippines as possible and Katrina’s group was one of these people. They went on boats that were set out towards either the ANZAC held territories or towards the British Raj. Many either ended up at their destination, or ended up in more contested territories, or got shot to pieces by Japanese vessels or Japanese aircraft doing strafing runs.
There were close to 600,000 guerrilla fighters from over 200 separate resistance groups around the Philippines at their peak, by 1946 the Japanese have narrowed their numbers to nearly 150,000 and by 1948 the Philippine resistance along with all remaining USAFFE have all been snuffed out.
Katrina had left with her group of survivors during the year 1946, a year after her mother and her brother escaped. Escape efforts continued until 1948 when the Japanese tightened up their security around the strategically important Philippine Isles following the success of ANZAC in liberating Malaysia and the Dutch East Indies.
Refugees and resistance fighters bounced from island to island, country to country, with the war raging in the pacific and resistance at an all time high. Katrina’s group was lucky enough to have been able land and meet with a resistance group in Vietnam after enduring Japanese strafing runs and dodging enemy patrols at sea – their group of small vessels, rafts, and rowboats made it to the coast of French Indochina.
Katrina would then find herself helping the resistance movement using all she’s learned in the Philippine conflict. Her combat experience however is limited, she has never been formally trained even though she has been fighting for over five years alongside her people and American soldiers that were part of the USAFFE and now she was fighting with French Indochinese. Her life has been hectic, from a life of peace expecting independence, to an era of vast conflict and hostile occupation all over the globe.
By mid 1946 the Japanese were ramping up their assault on Vietnam, the fighting grew evermore intense; it was becoming increasingly clear that Katrina and the remainder of her people might have to leave again. By early 1947 Sih Bao took most of his people and led them through China into the USSR, hopping from resistance group to resistance group. Chinese resistance was diverse, reminding her of what the Philippines had before she left. They all had differing stances and views on the conflict raging in China and they all had different opinions on how to deal with it.
By the time they got to the USSR it was already 1948 and when the opportunity arose to fight she volunteered again, this time she was invited to join Squad-914 for her exploits during the invasion of Indochina. The rest of her group of Filipinos either volunteered to join regular divisions or simply waited for fate whether they’d be called up to fight as conscripts in the USSR or be left alone as refugees should. Katrina could not blame them, they have seen the face of conflict and carried its burdens on their shoulders for over seven years – through their homeland, through Vietnam, through China and now they are asked to fight again?

NAME
Milena Kuznetsov
AGE
19
GENDER
Female
BIRTH-DATE / LOCATION
31-03-1930 - Tomsk, USSR
APPEARANCE
Milena is roughly 5'7, weighing in at exactly 129 pounds. She has brown hair and eyes, although she has partial heterochromia in her left eye, therefore a small portion is green as well. Milena has some generic scars throughout her body from childhood, but none of them are overly distinct. She has a couple of piercings on her ears and is always wearing a locket necklace her mother left for her as a good luck charm.
PERSONALITY
Milena is a gentle, caring spirit. Despite her young age, she's seen her fair share of medical horrors, thus she slowly began to rely on comedic relief to counteract the harsh realities of life. But her main personality traits don't entirely define her as a soldier neither in nor out of the battlefield. She is wise enough to separate her duties and responsibilities from her own personal life, and she has clear boundaries between work and play.
RELATIONSHIPS
To be determined.
CLASSIFICATION
Combat medic. Weapons included are the standard issue AVS-36 rifle and the TT-32 sidearm. Additionally, she carries a first-aid kit designed specifically for combat injuries.
EXPERIMENTAL GEAR
The Gatling Wrist Gun is, for the sake convenience, a partially handsfree revolver-styled weapon designed to fire from the wrist. The sturdy leather brace and its attachments absorb most of the recoil of the gun when it's fired. Instead of a traditional loading method, the cylinder is pulled out all the way in order for the bullets to be inserted. Once that's done, the cylinder is pushed back, twisting it to make sure it's locked in place. The hammer on this weapon is designed to act as the trigger, thus the user will still need a free hand. With that said, the disadvantage to this weapon revolves around the fact that the hammer doesn't have its own version of a trigger guard, therefore if it gets caught on something and enough pressure is applied, it will result in an accidental fire. Currently, this version of the gun is able to hold a maximum of eight bullets.
BACKGROUND
Milena's childhood was slightly complicated. Her mother passed away while giving birth to her, therefore she grew up with just her father, Dmitry. He was stern, but loving; such balance making life a little less troublesome for Milena as she was constantly learning valuable life lessons at a relatively young age. Dmitry also passed on a great deal of knowledge to Milena as she grew older, anything from hunting and survival skills to dressing a bullet wound. He was a doctor, one of a few within their town, and the idea of going into the medical field appealed to Milena more and more as the days went by. Eventually, that's what Milena decided on when she was old enough, and her father was extremely proud of her for chasing her dreams despite the challenges she would face..
On the evening of Milena's 15th birthday, they had a small gathering with her father and two of her closest friends. They were home just enjoying a simple celebratory meal when a gang of 3 men burst in through the front door. Milena and her friends immediately fled to the bedroom the moment Dmitry ordered them to do so. They rushed in and locked the door behind them, and despite all the adrenaline coursing through their bodies, the three girls stayed silent as their ears remained glued to the door. There was incomprehensible arguing, some things being thrown around, and eventually, a single gunshot. That's when Milena couldn't hide anymore. She unlocked the door despite her friends pleading her to do otherwise, and she rushed to the living room only to find her father's lifeless corpse. Her friends followed her outside just a few moments after the fact, and they were met with a hysterical Milena who was holding her dead father in her arms. The intruders were long gone, realizing that the neighbors would hear the gunshot and would obviously go investigate the noise.
From that moment on, Milena lived alone and learned to fend for herself. Even though there was great sorrow in her heart, she didn't use her emotions as an excuse to deviate from her goals. Roughly two and a half years passed before she decided to join the armed forces...mainly to continue learning about the medical field, but in a way, to also avenge her father by going after the men whose hearts remained as dark as those that belonged to the intruders responsible for her father's death.

Age

Gender
Male
Birth-date / Location
November 20th, Oslo Norway, 1931
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appearance
Strong and tall are two such things one would say about the half Russian half Norwegian boy at first glance. Then comes the blond hair, beard, and blue eyes. The boy stands at just over 6'3” and weighs 245 lbs. he is no stranger to hard work and his body shows it. Muscular, fit with many signs of scars and abuse taken from the elements and his father.
The boy’s hair is shaved at the sides and a bit longer than what it's supposed to be on top, always pushed back towards his shoulders. He will normally be seen wearing the simple standard issue green working uniform with polished black combat boots. He never really cared about being fancy and tends to keep his uniform neat enough to not get called out on it.
Personality
With being young, strong, and fast most would not be wrong to assume his attitude would be reckless and overconfident. However, Victor tends to be more withdrawn and careful especially when speaking to others. He has an awful habit of being too blunt or not tactful enough in most situations. In turn this tends to make others think he is rude or shy. His body language normally portrays kindness and a willingness to protect others. In the heat of battle his eyes betray the cold killer that lies under the surface, one may even be able to see him smile.
But otherwise, he is still a boy hardened by a rough father who blamed him for his mother’s death. He isn’t too brash when talking to the opposite sex and wouldn’t be one to find them any less valuable. Any man or women that is willing to fight by his side is worthy of his respect. Although not a stranger to friendship and kindness, he honestly wouldn’t know what to do with himself if it ever came to love.

Experimental Gear
The SU L-39 MK.3 is a Russian variant of the Finnish LAHTI L-39 Anti-Tank rifle. This version fires experimental High Explosive Anti Tank or HEAT rounds as well as Armor Penetrating rounds that contain a new shaped slug. both rounds have been designed to penetrate the thick armor of the new German war machines. This gun has also been designed to be lighter without making any more structural weaknesses. This weapon was designed with the intent to disable and capture enemy armor not destroy it.
Be Advised, the Automatic setting is not recommended to be used with HEAT rounds due to multiple jams. A jam could take several minutes to fix and it is advised that the jammed round be discarded in case it detonates while outside the breach. Do not aim at sloped or thicker front plates with this weapon as ricochet is likely. This weapon is not recommended for stealth missions as it is very loud and has a large muzzle flash when fired.

Background
Victor was born November 20th 1931 in Oslo Norway, to an old Russian military man and veteran of the great war and a young beautiful Norwegian women who was an aspiring actress. Both were deeply in love and planned to live together in Norway with his fathers two children from another women and their new born son. But alas tragedy struck in the form of an infection that, even through many treatments would ultimately claim his mothers life a few months later. This would be something Victors father would blame him for, for the next 10 years.
After this his father became depressed and turned to the bottle to help. Erasing his plans of living in Norway the man took his three children back to Russia and the USSR. There they would continue their lives in the family home they hopped would only be used for vacations. While his father took to long days at work in the propaganda department of the USSR and long nights out at the bars and out of the house his aunt and a few other family members helped to care for the children, his sister Sara who was 6 and his brother Ivan who was 8.
For the next ten years his father would deal with his anger and unresolved issues by continually beating all of his kids. Victor learned early on how to stay out of the mans way and out of sight. For a time before his older brother left he would hide and let his brother take most of the beating. By the time he turned 8 and his brother was out of the house most days either working in the factories or doing training with the army to prepare for boot camp. This left 8 year old Victor and his rather frail 14 year old sister to his fathers wrath. It was at this time Victor started to stand up to his father, provoking him, so he would come after him and not his sister. His sister by this time was very familiar with how to properly treat wounds and as such got plenty of training for the hospital while at home.
When Victor turned ten he began to grow taller, stronger, and a bit more aggressive to the point where he was actively fighting back against his father. Still, to this day he is unsure of what prompted himself to do it but near his 11th birthday, after receiving a beating the night before, he ambushed his father with a wooden club. Beating the man to near death with the full intent of killing the man right then and there. Yet he stopped, the cruel father he had who showed very little emotion other than rage was crying.
It took him a year for his father to finally come to terms with himself and get over his alcohol addiction. Victor wouldn't be able to trust the man for a few more years to come, it was strange that after 12 years he finally had someone who he could call father. Being the only child left in the household with his sister off to nursing school and his brother off somewhere in the soviet air force left just him and his father. He slowly began to trust the man as they began to go hunting, his father teaching him how to shoot, track, clean a kill, and survive.
After a few years Roman began teaching him how to wield a sword and about the old Norse gods, a tradition passed from father to son on his mothers side. He knew that being openly religious would not be acceptable if he went on to be a soldier, so he practices in private and try's to keep it a secret. Victors mothers parents never had a son, so they passed on the knowledge to Roman who was planning on teaching it to both his sons before Anita died.
This was normal for him up until his 17th birthday, before this he would work with the local farms or construction crews around the city, growing stronger by the day. Then on his 17th birthday he signed up with the Soviet army, maybe while he was there he could help or protect others. His father wished him the best of luck and gave him their family sword to use in combat, Victor always just figured his father pulled some strings or called in a few favors to allow him to keep it.
Boot camp was interesting, the physical part wasn't anything he wasn't used too. He was able to pick up on the structure and daily routine of the military fairly well. After a little while he was even able to bond with a few of the other recruits and was looking forward to going to Moscow with them. That was until the letter, when they were being told where they were going he was pulled aside by an officer and given his orders. He was being assigned to a top secret project, something called Squad 914.

Name

Age
17 years
Gender
Male
Birth-date / Location
November 20th, Oslo Norway, 1931
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appearance
Strong and tall are two such things one would say about the half Russian half Norwegian boy at first glance. Then comes the blond hair, beard, and blue eyes. The boy stands at just over 6'3” and weighs 245 lbs. he is no stranger to hard work and his body shows it. Muscular, fit with many signs of scars and abuse taken from the elements and his father.
The boy’s hair is shaved at the sides and a bit longer than what it's supposed to be on top, always pushed back towards his shoulders. He will normally be seen wearing the simple standard issue green working uniform with polished black combat boots. He never really cared about being fancy and tends to keep his uniform neat enough to not get called out on it.
Personality
With being young, strong, and fast most would not be wrong to assume his attitude would be reckless and overconfident. However, Victor tends to be more withdrawn and careful especially when speaking to others. He has an awful habit of being too blunt or not tactful enough in most situations. In turn this tends to make others think he is rude or shy. His body language normally portrays kindness and a willingness to protect others. In the heat of battle his eyes betray the cold killer that lies under the surface, one may even be able to see him smile.
But otherwise, he is still a boy hardened by a rough father who blamed him for his mother’s death. He isn’t too brash when talking to the opposite sex and wouldn’t be one to find them any less valuable. Any man or women that is willing to fight by his side is worthy of his respect. Although not a stranger to friendship and kindness, he honestly wouldn’t know what to do with himself if it ever came to love.

The SU L-39 MK.3 is a Russian variant of the Finnish LAHTI L-39 Anti-Tank rifle. This version fires experimental High Explosive Anti Tank or HEAT rounds as well as Armor Penetrating rounds that contain a new shaped slug. both rounds have been designed to penetrate the thick armor of the new German war machines. This gun has also been designed to be lighter without making any more structural weaknesses. This weapon was designed with the intent to disable and capture enemy armor not destroy it.
Be Advised, the Automatic setting is not recommended to be used with HEAT rounds due to multiple jams. A jam could take several minutes to fix and it is advised that the jammed round be discarded in case it detonates while outside the breach. Do not aim at sloped or thicker front plates with this weapon as ricochet is likely. This weapon is not recommended for stealth missions as it is very loud and has a large muzzle flash when fired.

Background
Victor was born November 20th 1931 in Oslo Norway, to an old Russian military man and veteran of the great war and a young beautiful Norwegian women who was an aspiring actress. Both were deeply in love and planned to live together in Norway with his fathers two children from another women and their new born son. But alas tragedy struck in the form of an infection that, even through many treatments would ultimately claim his mothers life a few months later. This would be something Victors father would blame him for, for the next 10 years.
After this his father became depressed and turned to the bottle to help. Erasing his plans of living in Norway the man took his three children back to Russia and the USSR. There they would continue their lives in the family home they hopped would only be used for vacations. While his father took to long days at work in the propaganda department of the USSR and long nights out at the bars and out of the house his aunt and a few other family members helped to care for the children, his sister Sara who was 6 and his brother Ivan who was 8.
For the next ten years his father would deal with his anger and unresolved issues by continually beating all of his kids. Victor learned early on how to stay out of the mans way and out of sight. For a time before his older brother left he would hide and let his brother take most of the beating. By the time he turned 8 and his brother was out of the house most days either working in the factories or doing training with the army to prepare for boot camp. This left 8 year old Victor and his rather frail 14 year old sister to his fathers wrath. It was at this time Victor started to stand up to his father, provoking him, so he would come after him and not his sister. His sister by this time was very familiar with how to properly treat wounds and as such got plenty of training for the hospital while at home.
When Victor turned ten he began to grow taller, stronger, and a bit more aggressive to the point where he was actively fighting back against his father. Still, to this day he is unsure of what prompted himself to do it but near his 11th birthday, after receiving a beating the night before, he ambushed his father with a wooden club. Beating the man to near death with the full intent of killing the man right then and there. Yet he stopped, the cruel father he had who showed very little emotion other than rage was crying.
It took him a year for his father to finally come to terms with himself and get over his alcohol addiction. Victor wouldn't be able to trust the man for a few more years to come, it was strange that after 12 years he finally had someone who he could call father. Being the only child left in the household with his sister off to nursing school and his brother off somewhere in the soviet air force left just him and his father. He slowly began to trust the man as they began to go hunting, his father teaching him how to shoot, track, clean a kill, and survive.
After a few years Roman began teaching him how to wield a sword and about the old Norse gods, a tradition passed from father to son on his mothers side. He knew that being openly religious would not be acceptable if he went on to be a soldier, so he practices in private and try's to keep it a secret. Victors mothers parents never had a son, so they passed on the knowledge to Roman who was planning on teaching it to both his sons before Anita died.
This was normal for him up until his 17th birthday, before this he would work with the local farms or construction crews around the city, growing stronger by the day. Then on his 17th birthday he signed up with the Soviet army, maybe while he was there he could help or protect others. His father wished him the best of luck and gave him their family sword to use in combat, Victor always just figured his father pulled some strings or called in a few favors to allow him to keep it.
Boot camp was interesting, the physical part wasn't anything he wasn't used too. He was able to pick up on the structure and daily routine of the military fairly well. After a little while he was even able to bond with a few of the other recruits and was looking forward to going to Moscow with them. That was until the letter, when they were being told where they were going he was pulled aside by an officer and given his orders. He was being assigned to a top secret project, something called Squad 914.

The Hydraulic Assisted Armored Platform or HAAP Suit.(Light Armor / Heavy Armor just replace Nazi emblems with Soviet ones) Is the USSR's most recent attempt to combine the technology of the USSR and the German war machines. The USSR's scientists have merged the strength and toughness of a walking tank with the agility and finesse of an infantry soldier, According to the propaganda at least. The system works as an exoskeleton covered in semi rounded armor plating and powered by 2 experimental Tesla batteries. These batteries work to power the hydraulic pumps that assist the wearer in movement and strength while wearing the heavy armor. The full helmet and face mask does have the option of using gas filters and a mounted flashlight.
The Tesla batteries can last up to 5 hours on a full charge. Electrical input is the fastest way to recharge the batteries, however if this is not applicable in the given situation small electric generators are housed in the legs and arms of the suit. These generators allow the batteries to be charged by movement and can be switched on and off with a few levers. The drawback to this is it makes the suit slower and harder to move for the user. For this and other reasons it is recommended that the user be strong and given the ability to properly train and grow stronger before extended use. The user also has the option to run one battery at a time doubling the duration but additionally hampering movement.
Caution is to be used while operating this suit as the batteries when damaged can discharge into the user and surrounding soldiers. This often results in the users death and can lead to electrical failure in nearby vehicles. be advised, operating the suit in hot temperatures may result in the user succumbing to dehydration if not mindful of the situation. It is also recommended that pilots undergo muscular augmentation so that the suit can be used to its full potential.

I am currently undergoing discussion on whether the armour is going to be applicable or not. We've had a severe downgrade in what experimental equipment they are allowed since the updates of the entire lore, making sure that the Germans are ahead of the game. If you need help coming up with other types of equipment, feel free to PM me and I can help you as I have with Naomi, Yu, Katrina and myself.

If you can make the anti-armour weapon doable and functionally interesting, then I would prefer as such. Surprise me however, though do not bewilder me.
