Lost Cause

Strike Witches 1991: The Gulf Neuroi War

Name: Nicole “Goose” Bradshaw

Age: 13

Appearance:

Boom

Nation: United States of Liberion

Rank: Ensign

Striker Unit: F-14 Tomcat

Weapon: M60E3 Machine Gun, Striker-mounted ordnance.

Magical Ability:

Animal Familiar: Liberion Shorthair

Personality: Nicole can best be described as having a little too much energy, and not enough ways to release it. The result is that she’s turned into a bit of a joker, although she got more than enough reprimands for that at the academy to mostly break her of her habit of pranking her squadmates.

Bio/History: Nicole is a very green Witch, having only just earned her wings before getting posted to the Gulf. As a result she’s still very unstable in the air, but it also means that the war hasn’t had the chance to strip her of her enthusiasm yet.

She does, however, come from a reasonably long line of Navy witches; her grandmother flew a Hellcat against the European Neuroi hives.

Yeah, her backstory still isn't quite finished if we're honest.

OK, I think I'm stuck for an intro. >.<

The League - Superhero Sci Fi and Urban Fantasy RP (Nearly Unlimited Recruitment)

It's funny you should mention that, considering that despite the obvious Iron Man / War Machine references I'd kind of thought of it as being a little bit like the Hulkbuster suits, in that it was something the government was considering for dealing with rogue metas.

Supersoldier projects might be a better course though.

OK, she's not quite finished but I wanted to get the technical bits up for consideration.

Name: Captain Sonia Lewis

Codename: Thundercracker

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Place of Birth: Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States

Affiliations: 412th Test Wing, US Air Force

Occupation: Test Pilot

Appearance: In her undersuit. Will also wear normal Air Force uniforms (With her hair tied up) or civvies. Stands approximately 5’3”.

Powers: None

Skills: Sonia is a skilled pilot, holding a type rating on the F-16 Falcon, and hours logged in the F-35 Lightning jet fighters. She also has pistol marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat and SERE training as part of this background.

Equipment/Resources: Suit of advanced power armour powered by an experimental micro fusion generator. The suit was originally developed for a military contract, which fell through when the Department of Defence deemed the costs to be prohibitive.

The suit is equipped with a pair of prototype pulse blasters in the wrists, decoy flare launchers in the hips, miniature rockets in the shoulder blades, angled for use in horizontal flight, and flight thrusters capable of propelling the suit up to speeds around Mach 2. The undersuit is designed for minor small-arms resistance and to help mitigate G-forces incurred during use.

We’re also not sure how Sonia was able to recolour (it was originally painted in standard USAF “Compass Gray”) the armour like that and have the colour hold up under the friction at transonic speeds.

Sonia also occasionally carries an M11 handgun for defensive purposes.

For the most part the armour is stored in a bunker at an old testing range out in the desert.

Weaknesses: Sonia’s suit isn’t EMP hardened outside of the flight and mobility systems, rendering her weapons control systems vulnerable to electromagnetic interference.

I'm fairly sure the Guards recruit across the UK and Crown dependencies; I know a Guard from Guernsey of all places.And pipe rock ftw. Though I still think DKM does it best.Although actually having listened to that one, there aren't any pipes in it O.o

They do, but which of the five regiments of the Guards you join is determined by where you enlisted.

Also, the Coldstream Guards don't recruit from Scotland.

Filling slot number two.

Name: Erica Hartmann

Universe: Strike Witches

Appearance: Boom.

Personality: As brilliant as she is in the skies, Erica is incredibly lazy. It’s not uncommon for whatever room she sleeps in to look like a bomb site, with junk piled up to a foot or more high, despite the efforts of her frustrated squad mates to make her clean it up.

Powers/Skills: In addition to the flight abilities provided by her Striker and the boost to her strength that all Witches get from their magic, her special technique is an offensive barrel roll named Sturm (German for "Storm") which manipulates gusts of ether to attack enemies. She’s also used it to punch through a Neuroi at least once.

Brief Bio: Erica is a Witch. She also happens to be the highest-scoring and most decorated ace in the entire Karlsland Luftwaffe. Not that you’d know it if you saw her on the ground. She flies as part of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, a unit comprised of Witches from across Europe and beyond as they fight against an alien menace known as the Neuroi.

Equipment: Messerscharf Bf-109K-4 Striker Unit, MG42 Machine Gun

I think for some reason I'd been edging towards making a Francesca clone out of her, but I think I can work with that.
