Nationality: Canadian
Appearance:
Bio: Roland Shaw was an orphan at the age of 10, his parents who were both doctors were killed in the north american war when Montreal was bombed by the Indpendent State of Texas.Roland remembered being rushed away into an emergency bunker as he watched vicious texan bombers destroy his hometown and everyone he knew with it. This experience shaped him into a determined young man, and joined the canadian army as a fighter pilot as early as he could. He had many successful tours fighting in Texas and Arizona, but soon felt like he wasn't doing enough for the greater good, he was simply blowing up planes. He wanted mankind to rebuild and become even a fraction of what it was before. He then joined the Toronto Air Militia and took security patrols until he was 34, since then he has become somewhat of a drifter, collecting as much information as he can about the world to try and put it back together. His most recent discovery was the Nevada city of 'Neon Haven' and what it could mean for mankind......

Bio: Born in England to a military scientist father and a homemaker mother, Hilda was always obsessed with her heritage. With her father she investigated their family tree when she was only 7, fascinated by all the men and women in her ancestry, they went all the way back to the 1900s and they found someone very interesting Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen Also known as The Red Baron Hilda and her father both became pilot enthusiasts, and she enrolled in junior flight school as early as she could, they had a picture of the Red Baron hung almost everywhere in the house. Hilda's father was working on a present for his daughter a reconstructed version of the Red Baron's famous craft, but built with modern technology and capabilities, it became his obsession and he wanted only the best for his daughter. Sadly he would never get to present it to her, he was killed in an assassination by the west europe coalition for unknown reasons, everyone knew about it, but nothing could be done. No justice could be taken.

Ava Falke

Ava Falke

Age:
18
Height:
5'6
Weight:
120lbs
Pilot Class:
Ace
Nationality:
Deutschland! Ja!

Appearance (fully body)

Bio:
"They set the world on fire. It wasn't a war anymore; it was a remaking. Some losses are inevitable. Some... unthinkable. Now they've built a new world. Armies of aluminum and thunder. They want to bring back the old world things. Green yards, movie theaters, soft beds... These things, none of it for me. I move by roaring engines, among warriors. We come from the night."

The situation in Central Europe is terrible. When the world began throwing its doomsday weapons around, countries like Germany were inevitably caught in between it all. And as the world collapsed, the survivors of the once great nation began to fight bitterly for the last scraps of land that weren't completely obliterated. Of course, this might not sound new, as this may apply to many places of the broken world, but Germany was a whole different ball game. The fighting was even fiercer, more ruthless, as resources were even more so scarce. Ava was born into a life of utter, never ending, violence.

Her family lived within a militaristic state calling itself Karlsland. It held a sizable chunk of the northern part of Germany, and being one of the few territories in the region with access to the ocean, it found itself constantly under attack. Ava was drafted the moment she turned fifteen into the Imperial Karlslandic Air Force. They had decent aircraft, but inexperience prevailed through the ranks due to drafting such young pilots. Her homeland was in a particularly bad spot too, as a much larger, unified force was attacking Karlsland, an enemy that had conquered over a hundred others. Thus, with little to no combat experience, bare minimal training, and mediocre aircraft, Ava as well as many others of her generation, were thrown into the face of the bomber raids.

Ava discovered something that day, something about herself. As the burning wrecks of both friend and enemy plunged down towards the earth around her, she felt no fear. In fact, she suddenly realized as she let loose a burst of cannon fire that she was smiling. That day, Ava was the sole survivor of her squadron. Thanks to this, she was promoted fairly quickly and became part of a crack flying squadron... arguably the only fighter squadron Karlsland had that actually had skilled airmen. They specialized in night fighting, ambush tactics, something that Ava soon mastered and loved. She was given the latest and greatest her country could offer, an Me262 HGIII. Some of her famous moves her beloved aircraft would involve shutting off her engines and gliding towards her enemies at night. This way, the only time they knew of her presence, was the moment her tracers were burning their way through the aircraft. This gave Ava the fitting title, "The Night Witch".

Despite both her skills and many others, Karlsland began to fall. In one, final end all air battle, Ava flew with her squadron to combat. As they broke cloud cover, the sky ahead was utterly filled to the brim with enemy aircraft of all sizes. They were outnumbered.... They were outgunned..... For the first time, Ava was not smiling while she flew. She felt it... Something that had plagued her squad mates before.

Fear.

And that was it. Ava committed the worst crime that any respectful member of any squadron could do....

She abandoned them.

Months after, her homeland burned and her own literal home destroyed, she has wandered aimlessly. Occasionally, she would appear out of the blue, aiding some unfortunate settlement with a bandit problem. No one knew of her abandonment, as her squadron along with the rest of the Karlsland Air Force was obliterated in that battle, but she could feel them haunting her.

Perhaps that's why she answered the call. Perhaps, this endevour to the Neon Haven will be her chance for redemption.

The Me262 HGIII

Name:
The Me262 HGIII "Nachtfeuer"
Description:
This high performance jet is a fast and nimble aircraft. With its swept back wings and very streamlined design, it performs at its best at high speeds at equally high altitudes. This version is a night fighter variant, painted with a non-reflective coat of black paint and equipped with short range radar for finding enemies in the night. Of course, it is usually accompanied by a Scanner type aircraft to guide it in, with the built in radar used for homing in on the target once it's close. It suffers at low altitude's and handles poorly at low speeds. However, thanks to its very efficient design, it is a great glider and climbs quite well.
Plane Type:
Early Fighter Jet Aircraft
Weapons Descriptions:
-Four 30mm autocannons-
-Two hard points for air to air missiles-
Weaknesses:
This is a high performance jet fighter, meaning that its designed for high speed engagements. At low speeds, the handling is drastically reduced to a sluggish, slow response, making it vulnerable to more maneuverable aircraft. Also, its engines are designed to perform at high altitudes, so engine performance is also greatly reduced at lower altitudes.
Past Encounter:
Ava fell in love with this aircraft on her first mission with it. It was a night raid over what used to be called Hamburg. It was a new moon that night, thus the enemy thought they could use the pitch black to their advantage. Her squadron was dispatched to intercept incoming bombers. Ava noted that the engines could be ignited near instantly once she got around 20,000 feet or so, thus she cruised at high altitude, waiting for the signal from the Scanner of the group. Her radar suddenly pinged, indicating the enemy was 5,000 feet below her. Rolling her aircraft over, she saw the faint blue glow of the engine exhausts coming from the enemies below her. Cutting her engines, she began to dive down on her enemy, picking up speed in complete silence. She switched from the Scanner's long range radar feed to her own close range one. It only took one or two hits from the HE 30mm shells to take off the wings of two of the bombers. The enemy gunners fired wildly into the night, attempting to hit this unseen attacker. She quietly pulled up, still retaining energy, climbed as far as she could before lighting her engines again. They flared to life, rocketing her back up into the skies.

Rinse and repeat, bomber formation destroyed.

Kaga

Ashikaga "Kaga" Nishizawa

"Don't repeat the tragedy."


AKINO from Bliis4 - "Miiro"

Age:
21

Height & Weight:
5 ft 6 in & 129 lb

Class:
Scanner

Nationality:
Nippon, the Land of the Rising Sun

Bio:
Like the old saying goes, "those who fail to understand history are doomed to repeat it". And repeat it did.

Once the last legs of the Japanese government collapsed, powerful local leaders took over of their regions, styling themselves off the Daimyos of the Sengoku Jidai era. Even though the original government held control of the greater Tokyo area, beyond that it was warlord country. Organizations became nepotistic clans who ruled over their lands, brawling each other for dominance of what was left of the land of the rising sun.

Ashikaga was born in one of these clans, the Hayabushi Clan watched over her since birth and she was raised with her parents and old brother. She was a bright and happy little girl, full of energy and zeal to fly. The Nishizawa family laid claim to the bloodlines of the IJN fighter aces of WW2, and they had everything to prove it as many members became distinguished pilots for the clan, Ashikaga and her brother were no exception. The two were raised by their parents and placed in co-operative control of a fighter wing once they were of age.

Although her brother was the better pilot and dogfighter in general, Ashikaga was born with exceptional eyesight, allowing her to see targets in bad weather and aim from further away. Together they flew mission after mission, counting their success until the mission named "Miniro" occurred. In that fight, the pilots of both the Kayashi Clan and the Honanto Clan attacked their group from both sides. Their small air wing was decimated despite their skill, they simply couldn't handle the numbers thrown at them. Ashikaga watched as one by one her teammates fell to the ground in a burning ball of fire, scorching the earth or drowning themselves in the sea until it was only Ashikaga and her brother. But even he fell, his plane peppered with bullets, tearing through him and dying his cockpit red with blood. He didn't even make it to the ground, his plane exploded midair, evaporating him, the ashes gone with the wind.

Unable to live with her failures, she blamed herself for the loose of the air wing, thinking that only if she had paid attention she could have spotted the enemy before they were engaged. Something inside of her broke, the energetic little girl folded into a cold, stoic professional pilot who emotions burned away with her brother's plane. Soon after, the Hayabusa Clan fell and she was forced to flee, somewhere. She did't know where she was headed, hiding her plane and herself on board a transport vessel from the Hou Dynasty of China. She heard rumors on board, tales of a mercenary company who needed skilled pilots for something, it didn't matter what they really wanted, at this point they were the only things left Ashikaga felt was worth it with her home in ruins, her family dead and her brother gone without a trace.

Seishin Gado

Hayabusa MS0-6 "Seishin Gado" (Spirit Guard)

Description:
Based on old WW2 plans, the MS0-6 is a sort of multi-purpose purpose aircraft. Natively used for recon, dive/torpedo bombing and as a heavy fighter, the MS0-6 is well verse in many fields even if it doesn't specialize in one. Ashikaga's MS0-6 is specially configured for recon and scanner work, although it still has its bomb carrier. The greatest thing to note it that Ashikaga keeps the rear gunner seat and gun in top condition, personally maintaining it as she claims that's were her brother sits and fires at her enemies with the gun.

Weapons:
2 x 7.7mm machine guns in the engine cowling
2 x 20mm auto cannons in the wings
1 x 7.7mm machine gun mounted in the back

Bomb carriage underneath for torpedo or 800kg bomb
Hard points on wings for bombs or fuel tanks

Weakness:
"A jack of all trade, a master of none though sometimes better than a master of one."

The MS0-6's biggest advantage is its versatility, able to do many different tasks. However, that also means that it won't do extremely well in any one thing. To heavy for a proper fighter, to small for a good bomber, to slow for real recon, the MS0-6 is only really specialized in its range and its lack of specialization.

Past Encounters:
A long time ally of Ashikaga, it can be said its one of her only true friends. Her most well known action with it was skillfully dodging and weaving between urban skyscrapers as she tried to cover for ground troops. A task no one else was willing to do but Ashikaga and her brother. Despite using heavier aircraft, they nimbly made their way through the ruins of the cities, strafing targets and marking artillery cords.

PILOT PROFILE

Name: Kerry Thomas

Age: 23

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 160 lbs

Pilot Class: Sky Warrior

Nationality: "Like I'd tell" (Speaks in Texan drawl)

Appearance:

Bio: Kerry Thomas is an enigma, nobody knows who he is or where he came from, constant war and fighting allows a man to basically disappear, and Thomas is proof of that. All that is known about him, is the fact that he knows a lot about planes. The plane he drives is Russian, his sidearms are american, he speaks French, German, Spanish, Portugese, Russian, multiple local dialects, and English, fluently with little accentuation. He came into prominence when he took to the air against the broken birds and killed five of them, taking multiple bullet wounds in the process. By the end of the engagement, his steering was destroyed and his plane was listlessly flying to the left, Thomas had no control over it, or so it seemed. Thomas was able to steer his plane using nothing but the one remaining gun, away from the enemies and towards safety. He returned recently, with a new plane, and a few new scars to show for it. When in combat, Thomas picks his fights carefully, not remaining in combat if there is any danger to himself, when with others, Thomas takes a supportive role, not fighting himself unless absolutely necessary. Thomas joined the group because "Anything else bores me." However, it seems that he has deeper motivations, as in his plane is a picture of him with others, as of yet unknown people. If anyone asks who they are, Thomas changed the subject.

Extra Aircraft Notes: The MiG-35 is a formidable and fast opponent, having mach 2 capabilities, while still remaining maneuverable, despite it's thin exterior, it can take multiple shots to the hull with little ill effect, it is however, a prototype, as it was never released to a general market.

Weapons Descriptions: Twin HMGs attached to the ends of the wings, under the wings are 9 heat seeking missiles, five for one wing, four for the other. No other armament, as any more would be too heavy.

Weaknesses: Due to the fact that it's a prototype, the MiG-35 is unreliable, with a multitude of malfunctions and bugs. It also cannot carry a heavy load, restricting it's armament.

Past Encounter: Despite Thomas' most famous stunt being with an IL-2, the New One is not very new to combat. Thomas fought against a group of non-clique pilots with this plane, outmaneuvering them and using a hit-and-run style to avoid their heavier armament.

Pilot Class: Rabbit
Nationality: I'm from America motha fucka!!
Appearance:


Bio: Reggie was born in the low down dirty south in the U.S. a Georgia born, as Reggie would call it, motha fucka. Reggie came from a military family which dates all the way back to WWII as his ancestor was one of the Tuskegee airmen. Growing up, Reggie was always a talker with his jive, cursing and wise cracks. His mouth usually got him into many disputes with enemies and friends but behind that mouth of his, is a man who really cares about people in general. Reggie's father and uncles trained him during the time of the wars of the south as the Reggie fought for the Georgia State army. He gained his many experiences through these fights, honing his skills as a fighter and practiced using flashy moves....while talking shit of coarse. During the wars, Reggie lost his father and a good half of his family when the bombings took place in his place of birth which led Reggie to wanting to fight and bring an end to such evil acts so no one would have to go through the pain and hurt he felt. After getting a letter to join the rag tag group of pilots, Reggie answered the call and jumped on that opportunity. Now....time to make history.

PILOT
Name: Alexander “Jester” Harving
Age: 25
Height: 5’ 9’
Weight: 98kg
Pilot Class: Rabbit
Nationality: British
Appearance:
Bio: Alex was born to a British father, and a Scottish mother. He was born in rural Scotland where his father and squadron was stationed. After a while he went to study in London, one of the few big cities to survive. Studying there were only a few choices to learn. Hot to fly planes, how to fix planes, how to make planes, how to restore planes and how to survive. Alex having watched his dad, his older brothers and his dads ex-RAF squadron (The Iron Doves) fly since he was born naturally chose to learn how to fly a plane.

He was a natural, whether from sheer talent or generations of piloting in his blood no one knew. His ability to judge, plan and carry out maneuvers, especially at high speed was near to perfect. His ability to survive the G’s of turns allowed him to win dogfights by pulling near impossible maneuvers. His reflexes made his evasive techniques almost pre-emptive. The only downside to his quick skills was his lack of ability to work in a team. He would always forget about his squadron or just plain misunderstand what they wanted him to do.

The school had a multitude of planes, from Spitfires to Messerschmitts, but Alex fell in love with the Harrier. The large beast had disjointed curves and just oozed power to him. Soon it became the plane he felt most comfortable with and the near vertical take of and landings were a bonus. He was taught how to conserve weapons. Ammunition was hard to get so missiles were only last resort. Fire bullets as much as possible. He was taught how to pull out of dives and deathspins and deal with all taught of rquipment filure. Everything a fighter pilot would.

This coupled with his ADHD and annoying joking manner made it near impossible to find a squadron that would fly with him. Eventually Alex went back to Scotland and started flying with his fathers squadron, The Iron Doves, alongside his brothers. While they tolerated him they also found Alex’s lack of seriousness annoying. Eventually Alex left and flew around from colony to colony, offering his services as a pilot.

Most of this service consisted with him flying around and looking for any areas with resources before telling his employers where it was. This was good but it wasn’t exactly thrilling work and Alex craved a purpose to his flying. Eventually he got a letter, it was more of flyer that he saw in a pub at a colony called the Bravehearts, about the Albion Avengers. That plus the talk around him of the AA wanting to create a new world order got him interested in them. The next day while flying he tuned into their radio signal and requested more information.

PLANE:
Name: Iron Dragon-Harrier Jump Jet
Description: A large beast standing at nearly 4m high and 14 and a half metres long it dwarfs Alex. But he lies it because once he's in it he feels powerful. With a wingspan of nearly 8 metres it spreads out its wing quite far but the can be folded up.
Plane Type: Jet
Extra Aircraft Notes: Is a V/STOL (vertical/short takeoff and landing) plane meaning it only needs a short runway to take off and land as it can go vertically up and down with out moving to much side to side or forward or backward.

Weapons Descriptions:
-2 ADEN CANNON (4x30mm 1200 RPM)
-2 Aim-9 Sidewinders
-4× Matra rocket pods with 18× SNEB 68 mm rockets each
-2 Mark-81 ‘Firecrackers’ General Purpose Bomb
-16 Flack

Weaknesses: It is a fuel guzzler and cant take much cargo or equipment especially with the amount of ammunition Alex carries. The armour isn’t too good as it relies mostly on speed to out maneuver the enemy. Alex is slowly trying to replace the plates with better armour but its hard in a world such as this.

Past Encounter: When flying with the Iron Doves Alex and his squadron got engaged into a dogfight with a group called the Royal Ravens. As the fights raged on with both squadrons inflicting a few bullet holes but nothing else they slowly realized how hungry they were. Calling a temporary truce they landed in a field and sat in the sun drinking tea and having bit if lunch. After a hour they got back into their planes and continued on the fighter but the two squadrons separated after a few more minutes. To tis day Alex makes sure that he looks out for any RR pilots so he can drink some tea with them.

PILOTS

Alphonse D'Aramitz

Name:

Alphonse D'Aramitz

Age:

33

Height:

5'10

Weight:

155 lb.

Pilot Class:

Hunter

Nationality:

French Canadian

Appearance:

With his bandages off, Alphonse would appall many with his face; they'd see, even in the dimmest of places, the greasy, stretched skin over the rounded contours of leprotic flesh. Though his skull structure suggests he is of gaunt stature, his high, pronounced cheekbones are held hidden under the folds of his once-infected flesh. For this reason, he has grown out a short beard to have at least some facial symmetry with the bandages on. His eyes, though, are still as warm and comforting as any old bear's - brown, oval, and almost always on the verge of tears. Too bad he can't sport the scalp to make himself just as grizzly.

Bio:

Nova Scotia, in the year 2116, became a hotbed of criminal activity as the closest (and subsequently largest) trading post to Las Vegas. Nicknamed "Nova Levia" (New Leviathan) for its incredibly difficult waters and rugged weather, the small province proved difficult to access by sea or air, and so was a haven for some more clandestine enterprises and, if you could steal your way to a plane or boat, some of the most damnably insane pilots in the world.

To even get to that position, though, one had to grind through the shithole that was the hierarchy of Nova Levia by credit and loyalty to some very disloyal bosses, or, if one was insane enough, mug a pilot. Alphonse did just that when he was 16, and stole his plane : an Antonov An-2. He barely managed to land on what was now Iceland, where he contracted his leprosy by working the fields in exchange for fuel.

In a panic, he was able to fly to Ireland, and was immediately met with the people's ire for foreigners. Fortunately, when his face was smashed by a molotov cocktail, most of his leprosy was burned off. So, he flew to the south of UK, towards the little island of Corsica, where he received the rest of his treatment by the significantly kindlier townspeople. Old habits, especially vices, died hard, and soon he found himself on the way to the bastion of Zugspitze for rape. His victim was later found to also have been infected with leprosy, and was subsequently exiled to Zugspitze to testify against him.

Alphonse survived the first 5 years raising a daughter with a woman who was too weak to even walk outside. At the time, few could be trusted with the girl, so Alphonse raised his daughter, Theresa, to stick by him and him only. His sentence to capital punishment was averted by his merit of fatherhood, and so the two waited for the right moment...in Rikers. Apparently, having a daughter doesn't mean shit if you broke 25 noses in defense of a child, so in reality, he had to thank Chavez and Sparks for the opportunity, even if they didn't really know him.

It was interesting, to say the least, that just prior to its hijacking by Alphonse, its entire crew had disappeared on a routine patrol flight across the Bermuda Triangle from Panama. Thinking the craft was haunted now, most people never bothered to touch the heavily armed bomber, and so it remained as sort of a relic of an old world. Alphonse notes the presence of suspicious shadows as merely his paranoia and distrust of others, so it doesn't really affect him. His daughter is the one driving him nuts, because they drive her nuts.

Pilot: Lennard Bronnard

Name: Lennard Bronnard Elias Kliemer the Third
Age: 27
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 176 lbs
Pilot Class: Fixer
Equipment: .44 Magnum revolver, .22 Caliber pistol, .44 Magnum (new model), 'Len Khilen' lever action rifle he sometimes carries on hunts, A handy Swiss-army knife, A boot knife.
Nationality: German
Appearance: Lennard has an outward appearance that would most specifically render him as a ragged, handsome gentleman under the dirt and dust of his workplace. Renounced by his colleagues as a decent repairmen, those who had not the acquaintance of knowing his profession will fall victim to their prejudices of thinking a man such as Lennard to be insane and strange in his habits. When he is not working, the Captain appears to be a normal human being, intelligent and somewhat charming in his conversations with people on the outside. Physically, he is comprised with round and broad facial features along with green eyes and dusty brown hair to compliment is German Appearance.
Personality: Intelligent, Laborious when it comes to his work, Calm, Sarcastic, Funny.
Skills: Huge Aviation/Tech Nerd, Veteran of war, Pianist and Composer (He once played for Royalty), Worked for several illustrious companies before he became a criminal.
Bio: Lennard comes from a stable-income family who specifically work in an aviation department for a famous multinational corporation which specializes in both military and aviation technology. Since childhood, Lennard has always had a deep interest in mechanics and technology in general so much that he even took it as far as creating his first Airship steam-assembly engine at the age of eight; It would not be an over-statement to call the boy at the time a 'child prodigy' which caught the attention of many aviation companies everywhere as he was taken on several occasions for job interviews for the company. However, his strange and narrow-minded obsessions with technology had made him drawn away from people and soon Lennard found himself out of a job due to his own disconnections with people.

During the great draft when he was 19, Lennard was called for duty and took the position as a Aviation Mechanic and a part-time battle air-naval aviator which required him to conduct tests on the main ship's engines. In this line of work, he would never be in any sort of danger due to his important role to his crew/staff members aboard their airship vessel. It was not until one day when the entire airship carrier he was on went off course, only to be shot down by enemy fire pilots/heavy artillery. The grand ship was taken down around 500 feet from the surface and crash landed behind enemy lines.

Sadly, Lennard was one of the only crew members to survive as none of his good friends made it out alive as he and several other crew members had to survive and evade enemy patrols who began to hunt them down. Out of the 2000 naval crew members who were aboard that ship, only 155 men survived the crash, and out of the 155 men who survived the crash, only 6 men survived the events that later took place. This event changed Lennard's life forever, as he soon began to become a totally different person, one who completely had his optimism drained due to the consequences of seeing and doing terrible things in hasty moments of war in order to survive. Years after the incident, he was awarded a metal of honor by the high commander of the Royal Naval Air force, a medal (as well as any other badge he had earned during service) which he put on the graves of all his friends who had died during the war. Lennard now lives almost completely withdrawn from his family and works as a freelance who takes jobs from almost anyone including thieves, pirates, or even mob bosses.

When he was given a chance at redemption from his former life of whoring, drinking, and sleeping his troubles away, Lennard could finally be apart of a group notorious for their virtues in making the world a batter place.

Theme Song: The Sky Ballet

KG69-01B1A,

Name: KG69-01B1A, Hammerklavier
Description: This aircraft is built off a pre-war hybrid plane which was originally manufactured by an old company, crumbled from the result of war and inflation that managed to survive the wars which pursued afterwards. As the years passed afterwards, many planes similar to this were scavenged and later rebuit as effective warplanes to gain an advantage over enemies. Such relics of the old world were considered as treasures to those who sought them for combat purposes and many paid a good price to those who sold them. In the same way Der Hammerklavier was founded and rebuilt by the military which Lennard would soon be employed by and would also be a plane he'd later own (and later sold for a swift discount) for his services as a part-time combat aviator and mechanic. She is built to be nimble, sturdy and can take quite a beating to gunfire which is proven to do well in combat.
Plane Type: Twin-Engine, Hybrid.
Extra Aircraft Notes:

• Weight: 12,000 lbs
• Armor: .5 inch ballistic armor around cockpit.
• Speed: 275 MPH (1,240 at jump speed)

Weapons Descriptions:

• Three Aden Canons, 30mm
• Two SNEB Pod rockets, 62MM
• Two Single forward M2 Browning Machine guns, 50 Cal rounds
• Ten PARS 3 LR Anti-Tank Missiles
• Twenty-five Hydra 70 Missiles

Weaknesses: As impeccable and impressive as the vessel was during its day, years and years of lacking maintenance yielded a plane on the verge of reaching an old age. There are several problems with the plane due to lack of repair although due to an incompetent pilot but the lacking tools required to amend them. As a consequence, the plane often has trouble starting and will occasionally hick-up mid air which probably also indicates that the Hammerklavier may need an engine overhaul, no easy task to find the pre-war tools to fix it. Apart from a few needy repairs, the plane runs smooth as it should normally run. However, because the Hammerklavier is so thick, it maneuvers pretty slowly compared to other post-war vessels but also can take quite a beating.

Past Encounter: No one really knows how old the plane really is, although it was scavenged and later had another plane built around it's unique engine. Though old, the plane had proven to finally show its worth in combat many times. It's been beaten and repaired many times in its day and is Lennard's most precious plane to this date.

Izabelle Votyakov

Name: Izabelle “Izzy” Votyakov
Age: 27
Height: 5’5”
Weight: 110lbs
Pilot Class: Sky Warrior
Nationality: Ukrainian

Bio:
Izabelle grew up in her father’s machine shop, famous across the Ukraine for the legendary planes it had been responsible for for building and maintaining. The smell of gasoline was what she woke up to each morning and grease stained most of her clothing from the work she did alongside her father. At age seven she began working in the shop and by thirteen she was working on her own, being able to fix an aircraft all on her own. She had developed a very capable mind for engineering and mechanics.

However, Izabelle longed to get up there with all the ace pilots and fight in the civil war with the best of them. She snuck away from the shop to enroll in flight school when she was fifteen and returned to continue her work in the shop. Unknown to her father, she had been stashing away extra parts for a while, collecting anything that looked useful or just plain cool. In her bedroom above the shop floor, drawings and designs of aircraft littered the floor. Some had been promising, others were either just for pleasure or mistakes from inexperience.

As the civil war raged on in the Ukraine, more and more planes were brought in to be repaired. The shop was considered a No Man’s Land to most pilots, regardless of their allegiance, and although they fought against each other, many talked and got along like old friends. Izabelle was kept quite busy with repairs as aircraft upon aircraft was hauled in, some to be sold for scrap, others abandoned. One of these abandoned shells was the start of Izzy’s first actual project, an older looking biplane fuselage lacking wings. It wasn’t long before her father noticed that she was no longer working on customers planes, but now her own, slowly looking more and more complete everyday.

Her father confronted her one night, outraged that she had gone to flight school without telling him and that she was building a plane to fight with. At first he was unwilling to listen and hear her out. No one had ever heard of a female fighter pilot in the Ukraine and he wouldn’t allow his daughter to become the laughingstock of a male dominated trade. However, she kept pressing him on the topic everyday until one day he finally had to give in. Yes he was afraid he would lose her, but it was something Izzy had practically begged him to do. She had never asked for anything in her life so he felt obligated to give her this one gift.

Two years later, the engine of The Duchess roared above Europe as she looked down for her next target. She had built a reputation as a bounty hunter across the continent, a hired gun fighting for the highest bidder. Izzy had developed her skills by flying alongside other pilots and learning maneuvers through endless practice. She had gotten the message from AA not too much later while she was in England. She’d always wanted to go to America, this was her chance. The Duchess, as she called her plane, would be making for Scotland in the morning.

The Duchess

Name: Va-44 Custom, “The Duchess”

Description: This aircraft may look like it came mostly from a scrap heap, but the internals are almost flawless. Constructed over several years and perfected by Ukrainian mechanics, Izzy constructed The Duchess mostly on her own, with salvaged parts from other aircraft, both allied and enemy. It costed Izzy almost nothing to build, minus the additional engines on the back and the brand new engine. Lightly armored with an open cockpit, meant to be nimble and agile.

Plane Type: Custom Biplane

Weapons Descriptions:
2x Forward facing 30mm machine guns, nose mounted
Small bomb bay containing 3x 50lb bombs for light anti-vehicle/infantry
4x Small dumbfire missiles, 2 per wing

Weaknesses: Very light armor compared to other fighters in it’s class. Occasionally has issues starting from lack of good quality fuel, however once started the engine purrs like a kitten. Alright, more like a tiger.

Past Encounter: The Duchess has logged many hours in flight, however it has only seen a few dogfights and most of which were against small, lightly armed fighters. Nothing noteworthy.

Jingo

Name: Jingo "Jango" Blowtorch

Age: 24
Height: 1.85m (6'2")
Weight: 80kg (180Ibs)

Pilot Class: Fixer

Nationality: Newfoundlander

Appearance: Jingo

Bio: Jingo's birth was difficult for everyone, especially so for his mother, who was told by doctors that Jingo was most likely going to be stillborn and he was. His mother, stricken by grief at the death of her first child, died of depression a few minutes after giving birth (though after some thought later in life, Jingo speculated that it was blood loss that killed her). However, unfortunately (or fortunately for Jingo), as the baby's body was being taken to the morgue, it burst into shrieks and cries; his father, enraged by the doctor's false assumptions, beat the doctor to death in the ward. He grabbed his infant son out of the nurse's hands and made his escape soon afterwards, evading the clinic guard that pursued him around relentlessly.

After that, Jingo's father lived as a fugitive of the law, or rather what was left of it, trying to look after his son in a harsh world, a few months later they found safety in the form a ferry. At the time, they lived in Newfoundland, a large island off the cost of mainland Canada, it was practically impossible to get to the other side and it was speculated that there was no other side, as it was common for escaped prisoners to swim out to sea and never come back. It was a path that Jingo's father contemplated but when a ship came across from the other side, his hopes for a better future for his son were reinforced.

So he stowed away, crawling up the anchor chain of the ferry and into the hold, with his sleeping infant tied to his back.

Twelve years after making land fall in Labrador, life was going well, Jingo had settled into a cabin in the woods by his father, the isolationism suited them well as it meant that Newfoundland Rangers couldn't find them and that his father could take his plane out to town without being traced back.

Jingo spent many evenings of his childhood alone, his father was often out on his plane (later he discovered this was due to his father being a Skywayman). He spent most of this time bird watching, sat in a field outside his house with his eyes to the sky and by the end of the day, he'd have a pile of birds that he decided to keep.

One day, while watching the skies, waiting for his father to come home, Jingo spotted a plane, it wasn't his father's as this one was sleek and metal and had two engines, it was also coming right at him. Jingo managed to get away as the plane impacted the ground, it trailed a deep gash in the soil as it crumpled against the earth, upon returning, he found the pilot dragging himself out of the shattered cockpit.

Now, Jingo has never been the most sociable one, as he was raised in a forest with no one other then his father to talk to, so naturally he stood in front of the man like a dullard. The man looked up at young Jingo rather irked, he barked for the boy to get him some bandages, By the time his father returned, the man was inside and sprawled out by the fire place. The rest was history.

The man became a long time house guest, and with Jingo's help, fixed up the plane again, though the pilot was not there to see it fly again as he died of injuries sustained after the accident. Jingo took to flying it, joining his father on raiding bandit camps (it seemed to be a form of consultation to his father, to repent for the blood on his hands); however, after his father died in a malfunction during takeoff, nothing tied him to his cabin in the woods, so he left, he didn't know what he was looking for, he speculated it was adventure but some part of him knew that he was seeking company.

The Witch Doctor

Name: P-38 Witch Doctor

Description: The Witch Doctor

She is unpainted, aluminium still glinting.

Plane Type: Long Range Escort/Interceptor

Extra Aircraft Notes: Due to it's turbo-superchargers, the Witch Doctor is exceptionally quite and excels at long distance flying behind enemy lines; the addition of large drop tanks essentially doubles it's range to 3000 miles. The P-38 model aircraft has a maximum speed of 415 miles/hour, with a cruise speed of 275 miles/hour, though upgrades are available to increase maximum speed and fuel efficiency, they are few and far between. The craft handles very forgivingly, with moderately sensitive controls that require gentle touches to readjust its course. The Witch Doctor can take many hits, due in part to the rugged construction of its frame and the repair bots bumbling around inside keeping it in top notch condition. It has a maximum service height of 44,000ft, with a stall height of 50,000. When not directly being looked at, The Doctor is difficult to see due to its reflective surface.

Weapons Descriptions:

- 4x .50 Caliber Machine Guns in the nose.
- 4x Hard Points (Excluding Drop Tank Ports) for missiles/bombs.
- Exclude stock minigun and rockets.

Weaknesses: Due to it's subpar rolling capability, the Witch Doctor isn't a good dogfighter, relying on surprise and shock to incapacitate an enemy. If it comes under intense fires, the repair bots inside the craft over heat and cause the engines to stall. It's form makes it easily recognizable, meaning that it can not be mistaken and simply blend among other planes. Due to it being unpainted, the doctor is incredibly easy to see if in the line of sight of the observer, otherwise it's a faint glint in the corner of their eye.

[Dolerman]

Pilot

Name:Isaac Francis Gainsborough
Age:26
Height:6'1
Weight:175
Pilot Class:Rabbit
Nationality:English
Appearance:

Bio: Dubbed 'The Lady Killer' because of his iconic single handed defeat of the all female mercenary group from Ireland 'The Banshees' Isaac became on of the most highly sought after mercenaries on the warlord circuit. Once a skilled pilot at the Albion Avengers Academy, he was expelled for reckless flying, and nearly killing his flight instructor during a training drill. Although soft spoken and sophisticated, Isaac's lust for warplane violence is akin to that of a vampire.

After being captured by Texan nationals at a Kentucky outpost and severley tortured, Isaac was able to reflect on his actions and his actions, and while still violent was far less reckless and self assured. Assuming he was going to die in the Texan prison, his captors were killed by a bombing raid by the Blood Wings, and seeing no other option he quickly partnered with them, giving him an outlet for his need to destroy.

Plane

Name: Custom Javelin X-4 'The White Panther'


Plane Type: Jet
Extra Aircraft Notes: An experimental plane used by the Kentucky Army during the Dixie wars, it never really got to see much usage as they were developed about 2 months before the state officially surrendered. The Craft focuses on speed and firepower, and was used as a 'shock fighter' on ambush missions.

Weapons Descriptions: Dual Miniguns, Flares, 12 Homing Missiles, 6 UGBs

Weaknesses: To maintain manuverablity, the armor of the plane is very thin.

Past Encounter: (Optional, give a description of a note worthy mission/battle/adventure that this Frame has been on)

Rikke Espinoza

Name: Rikke "The Shotgun Senorita" Espinoza
Age: 22
Height: 5'9 (1.75 meters)
Weight: 190lbs (86.18 Kg)
Pilot Class: Ace
Nationality: Spanish-American
Appearance:
Bio: Rikke has a varied past, though one you may not expect. Her crazy, psychotic nature didn't come from a traumatic experience. Nonono. Rikke is just that way naturally, and tends to enjoy 'playing' with her 'prey'. Along with taunting her target, and generally trying to get them riled up and angry at her. Rikke never did like boring fights, ones that she won with the target having done little to fight back. She liked it when her targets fought with ferocity. Though they were probably trying to kill her for the things she said. She is rather fluent in English and Spanish.

She does however, keep most things on lock-up. Only ever speaking of her recent adventures in Mexico and the Southern US. She does have a rather nasty reputation with some local settlements in the Southern US due to her past workings with a recently destroyed cartel. She flew as a air-to-air pilot for said cartel. She would would take on pilots of rival cartels, and keep aircraft on the ground at rival airfields. For her operations on the ground, she'd gain a nickname in the area as "The Shotgun Senorita". This nickname related to her usage of a shotgun to violently behead people.

She hasn't really cared if her reputation has spread outside of Mexico and the Southern US.
Theme Song: Shotguns

Jericho Banshee

Name: "The Jericho Banshee"

Plane Type: Custom
Extra Aircraft Notes: The Banshee carries decent armor, great maneuverability, and an incredible top speed for a single prop craft. A staggering 1,102mph (1773.5 km/h, 957.62 knots). Her speed is thanks to her custom engine, drive shaft, and propeller blades. Her engine comes equipped with a powerful water and oil cooling system, to prevent the engine from overheating.

She's also equipped with a Jericho Trumpet.

Weapons Descriptions:
2x 25mm autocannons mounted on top of the nose
2x 40mm autocannons mounted in the wings

Weaknesses: Lacking mounting points for bombs, rockets, and torpedoes. The Jericho Banshee is only suited for Air-to-Air combat. If she were to engage ground/sea targets she'd be highly ineffective, due to the fact that her guns are outfitted with ammo primarily suited to taking out air targets.

Due to her very custom set up, the costs to repair her would be very hefty. Repair times could be long if some random mechanic is repairing her.

On top of that. Should her cooling system get hit hard enough, the engine could start reaching dangerous temperatures. Which could cause the engine to violently seize. Or in extreme cases, melt the whole engine down into a large bulk of metal. Also, any damage to the engine itself will cause the entire craft to shake and rattle. The severity of said shaking/rattling will be directly related to how much damage it has sustained.

Team Gay Caribbean Pilots FTW

PILOT
Name: Arnaud Degas
Age: 22
Height: 6'4
Weight: 205
Pilot Class: The Hunter
Nationality: French Caribbean/Creole
Appearance:



Bio: Born in Trinidad, Arnaud grew up in the aftermath of an uncertain age-between the chaos in America, and the hotpoints erupting the world over, an age where the Caribbean was forced to fumble about in the dark, trying to find a new destiny-no longer could many of the nations there rely on European or american trade, support or tourists. Economic crashes become the norm, unemployment nearly a given for many. The world population fell.

And fell.

And fell.

Then, something unexpected happened. Cuba, long silent, long forgotten, seized the chance fate had given it with both hands-ushering in a new age for the Caribbean. Cuban soldiers stormed beaches, Cuban guns found their way into the hands of revolutionaries. Red flags were waved with pride for the first time in a century-communism, in what seemed to be the twilight of human existence, revived itself. The specter that had haunted Europe in the past had pulled itself from the brink of death. And it took the Caribbean. A new nation was founded, in one of the last green spots on Earth. The Federated Communist Republics of the Caribbean-regarded as a threat by other nations, an unpleasant reminder of the mistakes of the past-had been born.

It was into this nation that Arnaud was born-a native of the Communist Republic of Trinidad and Tobago-an FCRC member state. One of his first memories is of his home country being flooded by great hurricanes, and of parts of his home nation being consumed by the sea-for all that the Caribbean managed to endure the ravages of war, many of it's island nations could not resist the relentless rise of global sea levels. Having lost his parents, and much of his extended family in the disaster, Arnaud was raised as a ward of the state, but that was not the end of the matter.

This memory has stayed with Arnaud for his entire life-and inspired him to join the armed forces of the FCRC, reasoning that by serving the interests of the FCRC as a pilot-he might aid in acquiring new lands for the peoples of the Caribbean to flee too, if worst came to worst. While he could fly, no one in the Caribbean would be left behind when the next storm hit, the next time the waters rose.

He flew missions for FCRC expeditionary forces all over the region-from South America to the cold reaches of the north-he's flown against bandits, against other nascent nation states-the FCRC and Texas certainly had their share of scuffles-but the farthest he's ever been is, ironically, the place he's currently marooned in. Iceland. The FCRC overreached, and plagued by bandits and supply troubles, their nascent outpost on the island had be recalled. Bandits attacked, on the ground and in the sky, just as the boats were being loaded. Arnaud flew against them-and by the end of it, the boats were away, many of the bandits were dead-and Arnuad was out of fuel and forced to land.

Rescue, he's sure isn't coming-resources are a precious thing, and the FCRC, however much it might want too, can't launch a new expedition to save one man.

It's a harsh reality.

So now he's sitting in an abandoned base, out of fuel, slowly eating his way through his supplies and wondering if the cold or the bandits will get him first.

Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

PLANE:
Name: R-1 Bolívar
Description:



Extra Aircraft Notes: Designed to be produced in massive numbers, the R-1 Bolivar has the distinction of being one of the first homegrown plane designs fielded by the fledgling Federated Communist Republics of the Caribbean. The Bolivar is designed to be three very simple things-cheap, hardy, and reasonably effective. In the fine tradition of the AK-47, it succeeds with flying colors-while they're not amazing aircraft, they are competent, can be produced quickly, maintenance can be conducted with ease-and it can even make use of foreign produced parts, thanks to a dedication to functionality by the design team.

And finally, it's often said these planes would still fly even if you buried them in sand and dug them up a month after.

This is not inaccurate.

Plane Type: Jet
Weapons Descriptions:
1x Minigun
20x Nonhoming missiles
12x Bunkerbusters
4x Multi-role homing missiles

Weaknesses: Stripped down and basic in nature. The R-1 lacks many of the gadgets that aid the pilots of other nations-it focuses on functionality over pilot comfort. Due to this, it tends to struggle when faced with extremely high-tech aircraft. Normally, numbers would make up for this, but if it is a single R-1 against such a foe...

Past Encounter: Detailed in the bio.
