Sara 'Rabbit' Lin

---

"That AI voice is eerie as hell." Sara grumbled idly over the open comm as they were briefed on their respective tasks. It was a bit jarring to have such a upbeat voice deliver information they needed to deal death, but Sara just chocked it up to the designers having particular tastes. It was Bifrost after all, everything on the planet revolved around fighting these days. Training to fight, scrapping old war machines to prepare slightly less older ones to fight, talking about fighting, encouraging people to fight. Of course there was the actual fighting as well, what with pirates, overly aggressive scrappers, corporations and the occasional advance team of UEC or LTS forces, it was a rare day not to fire a weapon at least once.

Sara herself found herself fighting more and more as well, especially as her work with EINHERJAR expanded. Fighting alongside her fellows became more and more rare as she found herself working with more and more mercs. Some she'd recognize, most she'd never see again. The 'regulars' as Sara had dubbed them she knew more by voice than face. Her father would be rolling in his grave if he could see her now, but mercenary work was the only way for Sara to really take the fight to the enemies of Bifrost, rather than playing firefighter, so at least for the time being, a merc she'd be.

She listened idly to the chatter as the assorted team of AUG pilots sorted themselves into ad hoc teams- fairly normal these days. Most of the voices speaking up expressed their intention to take out Ultima Universal's communication systems. With only a few so far chiming in to actually take the fight to the Corp.

"We're supposed to fuck up their comms, not our own." Sara teased the apparent rookie, as they seemingly fumbled around with their comms.

"Property damage sounds right up my alley." Sara giggled, her voice light and soft despite it's supposed sentiment. "I'll provide close air support for our little bunker busters."

Within the cockpit of her AUG, Sara quickly flicked a few switches, designating herself R-18 and Redknight- and whoever else wanted to smash some steel into one squad.

"All green, all green," Sara called, noting her AUG's readiness. Her voice still light, but clear and crisp, without having to strain an ear to hear her. Chevalier is good to go, Rabbit standing by."

I figure a decent comparison would just be like a Gundam vs a grunt mobile suit. In a straight matchup the AUG armor outfights the MA 90% of the time, skill probably comes into account, and some rarer jumbo MA might be trouble, but generally they must rely on numbers or tactics to overcome an AUG team.

Dossier: Sara "Rabbit" Lin

Name: Sara Lin
Callsign: Rabbit
Age: 24
Gender: Female

Appearance:
Standing in a 5'5" with a slim build. Despite her size, she is rather lithe and its clear she keeps in shape.

Personality:
Energetic and amicable, Sara is in general fairly fairly easygoing and playful, with a calm and clear speaking voice. Rather perceptive, Sara has an eye for detail and can be surprisingly insightful, despite lacking military training. Sara's demeanor is generally confident, though not as cocky as one would expect from stick jockeys. Cool and calm while behind the trigger, Sara is generally reliable and doesn't panic easily. She is generally pragmatic as far as politics goes, but tends to favor things that would help the people of Bifrost. Not necessarily concerned with the money- but would rather have more instead of less if given the option.

Skills:

• Aerospace Pilot - Formerly a stick jockey, Sara is quite familiar with the control of a variety of fighter craft, which transfers over to her preferred method of combat behind the controls of an Aug.
• Spatial Awareness - Sara possesses an impressive degree of spatial awareness, whether it be the wingspan of her craft or the positioning of limbs. She understands trajectories and aerospace physics to a degree that helps her track even the fastest movers.
• Eagle Eyed - Sara has a very sharp eye for detail, allowing her to quickly notice possible threats and adjust accordingly. While not possessing a photographic memory, she does have fairly good memory recall as well.
• Valkyrie of Bifrost - A woman of the people, born and raised on Bifrost, Sara is well known and liked by many of the locals on Bifrost. She has the status akin to a hometown hero or local celebrity, and the luxuries and scrutinies that entails.

Brief History:
Sara was born in the midst of the Universal War on the planet of Bifrost, to a UEC pilot and nurse. With the planet of Bifrost serving as one of the UEC's primary portals to the stars beyond, it was unsurprising that the planet became something of a staging point for UEC forces. Most of Sara's childhood was spent aiding the UEC war machine, be it schooling to learn the history of the UEC, to afterschool work in the various factories, putting together goods for the soldiers passing through.

Unfortunately, it wasn't long before war came to Bifrost. The fires of war ravaged the planet, littering it with corpses and wrecks of LTS and UEC alike, while those like Sara cowered in underground bunkers, hoping to see the next dawn. By the time the fires had ceased, Bifrost was no longer a UEC colony, now it represented the heart of the Neutral Zone- which in a stroke of incredible irony was anything but neutral.

Like many Bifrost natives, Sara took it upon herself to join the planet's reconstruction efforts, along with the UEC remnants and the abandoned LTS forces. Learning underneath her father, Sara found herself behind the stick of one of the few remaining aerospace fighters, spending her teen years as a militia pilot, supporting the planet's hodgepodge defense forces in fending off pirates, scavengers and scrappers keen and picking through what was left of the destroyed world.

During a routine patrol, Sara would happen upon a shipment of LTS Augmented Armors, it's transport having gotten hopelessly lost after being waylaid by a band of pirates in the neutral zone, and crashing onto the surface of Bifrost. It's complement of armor more or less intact. Sara returned the treasure trove back to the Bifrost's defense forces, keeping one of the Augs for herself.

Armed with her new weapons, and entering adulthood, Sara quickly became an icon amongst her people, a Bifrost native, born and raised, defending her people with the weapons that razed their planet. Now armed with an Aug, Sara found herself able to take on tasks too difficult for the regular defense forces. Finding herself working alongside mercenaries more and more, Sara eventually began to form a sense of respect for the freelancers, even if she never fully trusted them.

Eventually, Sara would find herself drawn to the more lucrative work provided by EINHERJAR, as a means to an end to provide for her people. Sara enjoys the freedom provided by EINHERJAR, and the the pay isn't bad either.

Chevalier

AUG Name: Chevalier
AUG Appearance :

CHEVALIER

Armaments :

---

Hand Slots:

• XBR-77 75mm Multi-role Autocannon - The XBR is a multi-barrel cannon fitted into the frame of an assault rifle. Designed for general combat, this cannon is a versatile weapon that deals consistent damage at most ranges. The XBR fires in semi automatic, 5 round burst, and fully automatic, and has two selectable firing speeds of 1000 RPM and 2500 RPM.
• T-2 Combat Shield - A medium sized, lightweight shield of hardened alloys treated with anti-beam coating provides the Chevalier with limited directional protection from oncoming fire. Featuring a small cutout to brace it's cannon against, the T-2 is mounted to the forearm of the AUG instead of the hand itself, and can be rotated and shifted on the Chevalier's arm, leaving the hand open to carry other items- though usually not weapons. In addition, the T-2 combat shield features a pair of scatter-beam cannons, for potent shotgun style blasts of energy at close ranges.
• (Alternate) D-20 Anti-AUG Rocket Launcher - For strike missions, the Chevalier often forgos the T-2 combat shield for a D-20 Launcher. Essentially a mech sized rocket launcher, the D-20 fires potent rockets that are only slightly guided with path correction capabilities as opposed to homing capabilities. Packing a powerful explosive warhead, these rockets are designed to incapacitate heavily armored combatants.

Sub Weapon:

• Chin Mounted XPD-921 Rotary Gun - Mounted on the chin of the AS-64 Chevalier is an XPD-921 6 barreled rotary autocannon. Firing 20mm shells, the XPD-921 is generally ineffective against AUGs and other heavily armored targets due to the amount of ammunition required to deal significant damage. It is used primarily for point defense and anti-personnel roles.

Shoulder/Wing Racks:

• AA-08 'Partisan' Anti-Air Missile System - An advanced missile launcher system used by the Chevalier. Launching 3 Partisan Missiles from each wingtip, these fast, highly maneuverable AA missiles pack a surprising punch, able to make 90 degree turns, and capable of knocking most flying targets out of the sky with a single missile. While not particularly devastating, these small guided missiles are extremely difficult to avoid and are more than capable of crippling an airborne unit's flight capabilities, essentially spelling death for other fliers. Against ground targets, it is rather lackluster in damage when compared to other heavier missiles, and lacks armor penetration. Partisan Missiles are impact safe, allowing them to be safely carried.
• AG-12 Halberd Air-to-Ground Missile System - A robust missile launcher system used by the Chevalier. Launching 5 Halberd missiles from under each wing, these powerful AG missiles pack a mean punch and are designed specifically for targeting ground armor and other ground based assets. Halberd AG missiles have a difficult time targeting flying units and are primarily meant to take on heavily armored ground AUGs. Like Partisan missiles, the Halberds are impact safe, allowing them to be safely carried.
• AG-70 Pike Semi-guided Swarm Rocket System - A 'semi-guided' rocket system used by the Chevalier. Carried in pod launchers mounted underneath each wing are 35 Pike rockets, totaling 70. Shortly after firing, Pike rockets split into 4 micro rockets to saturate areas with fire. These micro rockets feature light guidance to keep them generally on target, but lack the homing ability of dedicated locking missiles. Acting similar to dumbfire rockets, Pikes are fast and cheap, and have moderate power, but lack significant armor penetration capabilities and are generally only moderately effective against heavily armored targets such as AUGs. These rockets are primarily designed to attack lightly to moderately armored targets and installations, or to suppress hardened enemy positions. Like it's cousins, the Pike has a minimum safe distance and are impact safe when not in use.

Gadget Slot:

• Advanced Countermeasure System - Designed to combat anti-air systems, the Chevalier ACS is essentially a miniature missile launcher mounted to it's back skirt, that detects oncoming heat signatures and launches guided munitions to counter and neutralize the oncoming threat, along with a spray of flares and chaff for pesky micro-missile style weapons.
• Supercruise/Afterburner System - Advanced propulsion systems allow the Chevalier to maintain supersonic 'cruising' speeds at Mach 1.5, and at full burn can temporarily reach speeds of Mach 2.

Specifications:
Straddling the gap between light scout/reconnaissance and a general purpose combatant, the Chevalier is a fast moving unit generally designed to be used in a method similar to lightly armored cavalry, or as a skirmisher. Unfortunately, the Chevalier finds itself both lacking the staying power of a dedicated combatant and the intelligence gathering capabilities of a dedicated scout. While this lack of focus in either role turned the Chevalier into something of a liability in the LTS forces, it's versatility makes it a good fit for the mercenary type in the Neutral Zone, where it's modest staying power and nimble frame allows it to fill both functions adequately enough for the needs of most mercenary units, which often lack the numbers to field dedicated scout units.

The Chevalier boasts high maneuverability and full flight capabilities, faster than most AUGs in the air, and only really surpassed in a straightaway by fixed wing aerospace craft. In combat, the Chevalier functions as a close air support unit, delivering precise strikes with it's missiles and strafing runs with it's cannon, before darting away to avoid reprisal. Due to its lack of staying power, the Chevalier is only rated for light duties while solo, better serving as fire support for other mercenary units.

Final Fantasy: Lightseekers

Galahad Caradoc

---

Galahad dreaded every step he took towards his childhood home, not just because he wasn't looking forward to being home so soon, but also due to the company he kept. His family guards for their part, reacted more or less as he expected-at least no weapons were drawn, though one could never really sheath lances. The Caradoc Manor was a large home of classic Edrenian architecture, built from slabs of white marble and gilded with the Caradoc family crest. For all of its grandeur, the home felt as cold and imposing as it always did as Galahad made his way up the steps of the building. At the front door, a man at arms silently welcomed them, holding the door open for they entered. The interior of the manor was just as opulent as the outside. Fine carpeting stretched across the cold marble floor, its high walls and ceilings adorned with gold and jewel encrusted weapons and artwork. The ceiling itself was a tapestry of the Caradoc family line, and its accomplishments, starting generations back, endless depictions of gallant Caradoc men bearing pristine silver and blue plate.

Underneath a mural of his own likeness stood his father, Artorias Caradoc. None to pleased to see what Galahad had brought back home. Galahad couldn't help but sigh as his father demanded an explanation.

"It appears as though his Majesty's call also extended to mages, spies, and swords both named and nameless." Galahad replied curtly. The two men stood across from one another, a sourcless tension between the two, almost palpable enough to snap like a band. " Leonhart has instructed me to find and end the Blight. Our groups were picked by the king himself. If this troubles you, I advise you to take it up with your nephew."

"Insolence." The older Caradoc practically spat, though whether it was directed towards Galahad or the king himself was not entirely clear. "To bring the Demon to your own home, to stand in front of her with your back exposed. Galahad, I know not if you are a fool, or merely foolish. How bleak things have become."

"The demon, the spy, the sword and the mage helped me save the king from an attempt on his life." Galahad reminded him, "Without them, Edren's future would be considerably more bleak."

"Regardless. I'm sure you'll be thrilled to know that we do not plan to stay for long. Once we resupply, we'll be off." Galahad stated curtly, though the sound of the door opening behind his father stopped any further reply.

"Surely you don't plan to leave without even having dinner with your family?" in almost stark contrast to the cold callousness of the two Caradoc men, this voice was considerably warmer, as his mother stepped out to greet the Kirins.

The Envenomed: Military Science Fiction Deniable Operations

ECHO DOMAIN - PLATFORM #2884

Very few would note 'stealth' as one of Echo's strong suits, but throughout this deployment it had been surprisingly apt at just that. Perhaps both the cloaking technology and leadership of Rasch provided assistance in that, but nonetheless, Echo's warform, along with the rest of the team had managed to get the drop on a group of targets. While the others moved in to form a killbox, Echo more or less stayed stationary, hanging back to preparing a base of fire while also negating it's biggest weakness to stealth- it's size and noise it would make if it moved.

With their first strike prepared, Echo's weapons began to power up. Unfortunately, no amount of cloaking would mask the telltale whine of an Unztadlig's beam cannon, but luckily for them all, they did not delay in ambushing their targets. Salvatore and Alice's weapons struck first, followed by the tarrhaidim. A moment later the whine grew to a crescendo and a lance of energy surged towards the power armored trooper, the fresh smell of burnt ozone lingering in the air. A split second later, two streams of tracers swept across the automata positions as Echo charged forward on antigrav boosted legs. With luck, the enemy squad would believe the fire was coming from the Unztadlige platform alone, drawing any return fire towards it's thicker armor, while the rest of the squad maneuvered to collapse on the remaining targets.

Where stealth was not in Echo's toolset, attacking over open ground was. Maneuvering with it's heaviest sections of armor facing forward while autocannons and beam cannons turned the mechanical centaur into a veritable porcupine of weapons fire. For good measure, a second blast from it's main cannon struck where the power armor trooper was positioned.

Alert. Platform is now attempting to draw fire. Advise. Avoid entering projected movement path. Elaboration. Platform mass likely to cause extreme physical trauma in event of collision.
