Psychological Analysis:Anu could be quite frankly considered one of the most tactically brilliant and ambitious pilots on the squad. He is constantly seeking out the bigger picture, always trying to find new strategies to be applied on the wider scale. He is never without the latest information from the front, and actively strives to keep track of other military movements of other units besides his. He is always concocting up new ideas, thoughts, and inspirations, leading him to be known as a man of novelty. However, his wide scope of things has also led him to be brash and arrogant for such an accomplished soldier. He has what some would consider a superiority complex and many counts of insurbodination, often resulting from disputes with his superiors over courses of action taken - the primary reason why a skilled fighter like him has risen up the ranks that slowly.
Military Record:Anu hails from a long and distinguished line of Indian military men. He enlisted in the Terran Navy through at sixteen and graduated at twenty with flying colors. He was deployed first as part of a squadron sent to eliminate pirates in the Beta Aquilae system, and quickly gained immediate respect for saving the life of a fellow wingman when his fighter's oxygen supply was hit by a missile, causing Anu to have to temporarily exit his own ship in deep space, connect the downed ship's oxygen tank with his own, and tow it back through hyperspace. He was honored with a promotion and a special celebratory event back on Terra, and his story was unofficially incorporated into Terran military doctrine as an example of brotherhood. Many would however note this as part of Anu's slow decline.
His fellow squadron members noted Anu's cockiness and arrogance in the months - even years - following his deed. He also began a long chain of insubordination charges against superior officers. His irreverence, to the dismay of many, however, still had backing. He continued winning victory after victory against pirates - his favorite enemy - in many systems. All of those victories, however, were won with different squadrons - many of Anu's fellow pilots described his character as being rather toxic, and no one really grew fond towards him. For many, Anu regarded himself as a one-man army: somethig many great soldiers know cannot exist.
Seven years on, and the Varaxian Empire found its way into Terra's sights. Back in India, Anu's younger brother, Nashi, was a brilliant xenobiologist working for the Terran Federation. Though he did not get to see him often, Anu loved Nashi very much. But Nashi was one of the scientists on board an expeditionary ship that unknowingly headed deep into Varaxian territory. Nashi was also one of those scientists who were engulfed in a fiery plasma ball that was the expeditionary ship. Nashi was one of the few people that Anu felt a close connection to, and that connection was gone. Anu had never felt so helpless in his life.
So Anu redoubled his efforts. He sought refuge in his faith, delving deep into Hindu mythology, earning his nickname 'Rama' from the books he was always buried in. Many of his colleagues noticed a sharp decline in his cockiness, removing the arrogance from his skill - which again earned him respect and eventually landed him with the 144th. But Anu, deep inside, would forever hold a deep-seated pure hatred for the Varaxian Empire. Whoever they were, he would kill them, he would kill
all of them - just as they killed his brother.
