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.

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. [/hider] [/center]
