[color=f7941d]Personality:[/color] Fiercely loyal to his country and willing to give everything in the name of defeating the BETA and saving Humanity, Kosuke is an exemplary Eishi that the Shogun himself would be honored to have as part of the Royal Guard. With an attitude that most would state is dangerous and even at times callous of others safety, he performs to such a level in combat that many who serve with him can tend to overlook his shortcomings in his personality and learn to trust him to watch their backs. When not in combat he is dutiful, often found completing paperwork, checks on his and others TSFs, or helping with other work to be done around the Battalion. He's known to speak frankly to newcomers, if one were to listen it tends to seem that Kosuke degrades new pilots and lessens them to nothing more than liabilities for the rest of the Squadron but given a keen enough ear and enough time some have come to notice that while he does degrade them, much of what he says holds value in combat and is good to keep at the back of your mind.

[color=f7941d]History:[/color]
Born to a single mother in the Miyagi prefecture Kosuke was brought up by his Grandmother while his mother worked round the clock to keep food on the table for the three of them. While his upbringing wasn't the "normal" that was expected in Japan at the time it certainly wasn't unusual, for many families had lost the males of the household to the war with the BETA just as Kosuke's family had.

With strict standards placed on him by his Grandmother Kosuke was instilled with a strong sense of responsibility when given a task, to the point that he wouldn't hesitate to take any necessary steps to accomplish the task at hand. A trait that would end up less than favorable among his peers in the military.

At the age of he fifteen he was drafted into the Imperial Army and began his formal training to become a TSF pilot. Just a year into his training at the age of sixteen the BETA invasion of Japan began in Kitakyushu. Kosuke found himself deployed to the defense line being set up in Kyoto. It was there that he would get his first taste of combat, fighting in close quarters relentlessly, with few breaks and little time to think, Kosuke found himself acting off instinct in combat, when given a command he would go to any lengths in an attempt to ensure it was completed, which led to complications.

On August 10th of 1998, the day that Kyoto fell, Kosuke was deployed with a forward squad tasked with holding the BETA advance at a key railway junction that was being used to evacuate important people and equipment. The orders were specified as being of the utmost importance and Kosuke's Squad leader informed them that they had to defend the point at all costs. It wasn't long until the BETA surged forth on the junction. 

Terrified and inexperienced Kosuke let his emotions get the best of him becoming almost useless in the opening minutes of the fighting. Only snapped back to reality as his Squadron leader used his TSF to shield Kosuke from a Tank-Classes charge, Kosuke would finally begin to fight. His sole purpose was the mission they had been given, and his Squad leaders words stuck with him, "At any cost.". Kosuke and one other would be the only survivors of the Squad sent to the railway junction, and would retreat shortly after a large portion of the internal defense of Kyoto fell.

It was only a week after the fighting had ended that the second pilot who had been unconscious since the battle awoke. The stories he told of the fight were brutal, but nothing compared to what he said about Kosuke. The inexperienced pilot had entirely disregarded his fellow pilots, a move that many pilots would consider to be completely unlike a Japanese Eishi, allowing many of them to be overwhelmed by BETA as he focused entirely on keeping the BETA from the railway. He even disregarded the calls for help from a pilot trapped in his broken TSF as the hatch was slowly pulled away by a Tank-Class BETA, all the while Kosuke was simply reloading and waiting for more BETA to make a move for the railway.

The Tank-Class would eventually be done in by Kosuke, but only after it had had an enjoyable meal and set its sights on Kosuke himself. With this recollection of events, Kosuke found himself up against military Court Marshall, and was not charged with the loss of his entire squad due to a severe lack in experienced pilots. Instead he was capped at 1stLt and was simply put back on the front lines where the BETA would have a better chance of giving him what he deserved.

Following the fall of Kyoto, Kosuke would be stricken with night terrors, many of which would involve his Squadron that he had willing allowed to die around him. He would reign himself in from then on, promising himself that he would never let his emotions cloud is judgement in combat again, and that he would do everything in his power to complete the mission and bring his fellow Eishi home safely at the end of the day. Even if it meant giving his own life to reach those goals. 

The words of his deceased Squad Leader have been etched into his mind, and serve as his mantra. To remind himself that he must make the impossible possible, that he must never be afraid to give his beating heart for his Country or his comrades. That he must complete the mission, at any cost.

[color=92278f]Personality:[/color] Distant and withdrawn. Kseniya bears all the telltale signs of a pilot that has lost everything, more than once. She often jumps between two very distinct personalities, a side effect of her creation and the subsequent drugs and treatments she is forced to take and endure and her experience in Operation Swaraj, that range anywhere from vaguely helpful and slightly friendly to completely insane and sadistic, prepared to kill anyone and everyone that may even breath in her vicinity. Still carrying the mental scars of Operation Swaraj around with her, she is frequently overcome by episodes brought on by triggers of the event and focuses the pain and hatred that boils up with them into her fight against the BETA. Kseniya as well has a deep seated fear of water thanks to her creation and the treatments she undergoes regularly.

[color=92278f]History:[/color]
Kseniya Kochenkov, or Kseniya Barchenowa as is her true name, is a Fifth Generation ESPer of the Soviet Union. Manufactured through a process of cloning and brought up undergoing treatments and procedures so that she would exhibit Extra Sensory Perception abilities in order to be used as a tool by the Soviet Union to pursue their Alternative III plan and make contact with the BETA. 

Much of her young life revolved around tests, treatments, and labs. Then she would repeat the process, but perhaps in a different order this time, and the time after that, and the next one as well. When not being subjected to experiments and tests or training, the Barchenowa ESPers were being raised by the KGB to compete against one another and build bounds between their individual flights and squadrons in an attempt to increase their combat effectiveness. In the end it could be said that her fellow sisters in the program became her family. It was this very same family that would venture into the Bhopol Hive during Operation Swaraj along with Kseniya in order to attempt to make direct communication with the BETA.

Approximately two hours into the intrusion into the Bhopol Hive, the F14AN3 Mindseekers of the Vsadnik Squadron were being overwhelmed and whittled down. TSF after TSF was lost as only small amounts of ground were gained as they progressed further into the Bhopol Hive. Even with these sacrifices, not a single one of the ESPers had been able to establish communication with any BETA, even with the advanced equipment that had been added to the F14AN3 that they were using to amplify their abilities. Kseniya's non-ESPer pilot, Captain Eranov was beginning to grow afraid as one by one TSFs fell to the BETA inside the Hive, and Kseniya could sense it.

As the group of F14AN3s made their way into an new hall, they were set upon by a large swarm of Tank-Class, and quickly found themselves in a desperate close-quarters skirmish for their lives. In the process of the fight the highly-sensitive equipment mounted on Kseniya's F14AN3 was damaged, causing it to amplify the signals it was picking up and overwhelm Kseniya as she was hooked into the system itself. She fell into a panic as she could feel TSF piltos outside the Hive dying, as she could feel her Sisters within the Hive being eaten alive, as she could feel infantry and tank crews as they were crushed beneath waves of BETA. Her power of projection now firmly out of her control would wildly force her feelings of impending doom and the futility of their mission upon many of the TSF pilots and ESPers present. Although many of the ESPers were able to overcome the sudden flood of emotions from their sister, a few of the pilots were overcome with fear at the wave of emotions that weren't theirs and and began to make a hasty retreat.

Of this group was Kseniya's own pilot. As Kseniya continued to be overwhelmed in the front seat of her TSF, Captain Eranov made for the nearest Stab and escaped the Bhopol Hive along with two other F14AN3s. It was only later that day once they had reached a resupply post that they would finally be able to remove Kseniya from the cockpit and detach her from the equipment that was causing the intense feedback. By the end of the Operation only a handful of Barchenowa Generation ESPers sent would survive, among them were the three that had escaped due to Kseniya's loss of control and their pilots panic and a few scattered groups from other expeditions into the Hive.

Operation Swaraj would produce only a single result for its massive loss of life and equipment, and that result was that the BETA did not consider humanity as a life form at all. 

Reassigned to the Soviet Army following the abandonment of Alternative II after the failure of Operation Swaraj, 
Kseniya would remain an unstable ESPer for the rest of her time serving with the Soviet Army. Following multiple high risk missions, and being purposefully left out of Operation Ouka by request of the KGB, Kseniya would be promoted to Major and assigned to the UNs 231st Battalion "The Grey Wolves" as the Executive Officer. Her handlers within the KGB would be monitoring her and a number of other ESPers within the massive UN force intently, as the information they could gain from such a massive undertaking and their varied positions would no doubt prove valuable in a post-BETA world.
