[quote=@Ithradine] It's certainly possible in the future. For now, just focus on one making one character. [/quote] Gotcha. I'm putting a character in reserve, to maybe be brought in at a later date. [quote=@Sola] Hm, I think I can help with that (though it might be "spoilers"). [hider=My Hider] In the anime/manga, there are two ways you can go with this. The first way is that you can have two mental models for whatever ship you chose. It would take a lot of your ship's computational power to produce two mental models, but there are some ships that have been known to do so e.g. Bismarck and Nagato. The second way is for one ship to sacrifice their hull and "merge" with a ship. In Blue Steel, Takao sacrifices her hull in order to help Iona and Gunzou after a disastrous battle. As a result, Takao manages to restore the submarine, and becomes part of I-401 as seen below. [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/aokihagane/images/7/79/Ars-nova.png/revision/latest?cb=20140530220220[/img] Takao and Iona work in cohesion (after Takao realizes she won't be noticed by her Gunzou-senpai), but Takao is unable to produce a "mental model" from this point on. In regards to your ships, if you go down this route, maybe this could be a reason why they defected? [/hider] [/quote] Wow, there's so much from this show that I've forgotten, so thanks for the reminder. maybe I should rewatch it. Alright, so here is my CS: [hider=Ping Hai] [center][h1][color=a187be]Ping Hai - Ning Hai-class Light Cruiser[/color][/h1] [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/schoolrumble/images/b/b3/Tsukamoto.Yakumo.full.547980.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1217?cb=20160425035832[/img][/center] [color=a187be]Mental Model:[/color] Ping Hai's mental model is modest, with neck-length black hair and piercing red eyes. Some might consider her a 'traditional East-Asian beauty'. Inspired by her sister ship's mental model, Ping Hai also wears a high school uniform. The reason for this is Ning Hai wanted to wear a 'sailor outfit' for her mental model, since they were ships, but got sidetracked with 'sailor-inspired school uniforms', and then got even further sidetracked when she wanted to pick a school uniform closer to the age of her mental model's appearance. Ever the good younger sister, Ping Hai just went along with it. [color=a187be]Personality:[/color] Calm, stoic, and non-confrontational, Ping Hai has a very supportive and altruistic personality. She almost never criticizes those whom she considers her friends, allies, and family, instead choosing to wordlessly shoulder the responsibility of filling in for their shortcomings. In a way, Ping Hai is emotionally dependent, and needs someone to latch onto and provide help to. This is particularly obvious with her sister ship, Ning Hai. Ping Hai is highly observant and empathetic, and her desire to predict what other people want, and to provide for them can become overbearing at times. [color=a187be]Backstory:[/color] Ning Hai and Ping Hai were ships in the Far East Continental Fleet, which patrolled the eastern coast of the Asian continent, leaving control of the Pacific to the First and Second Oriental Fleets. A few major incidents happened to Ping Hai. The first was during a skirmish against human forces, Ping Hai, overeager to prove herself, fell into a trap and was lured to the coast, where she started getting hit by land forces. Her retreat was rapidly being cut off by encircling enemy ships, but Ning Hai rushed in recklessly, opening a path for her sister to escape. Despite Ning Hai's usual ineptitude, Ping Hai will always remember this moment, and henceforth will always devotedly support Ning Hai. The second incident involved the aftermath of a major battle. Ning Hai and Ping Hai were ordered to guard a battleship undergoing repairs, while the rest of the fleet planned an attack against human forces. Unfortunately, they were discovered by the enemy, and Ning Hai and Ping Hai were unable to fend them off. This resulted in the fleet halting their maneuver and saving Ning Hai, Ping Hai, and the battleship they were supposed to protect. This finally resulted in the two sister ships being chided as worthless, and pushed onto the Oriental Fleet, hoping that the main fleet could make something of these two. In the Oriental Fleet, the two were treated quite poorly, and were even given different names, Ioshima for Ning Hai, and Yasoshima for Ping Hai. While Ping Hai tried her best, the fact that she would never go anywhere without her sister held her back. Eventually Ning Hai complained to Ping Hai about their rough treatment, and how she had heard rumors of a rogue fleet. Unable to stop her sister, Ping Hai went along with Ning Hai's escape plan. Their escape was discovered, and the Fleet gave chase but a storm blew in. While it did help the sisters escape the fleet, unfortunately, they were separated. Eventually, Ping Hai got lucky and ran into the Phantom Fleet. Now she stays with the Phantom Fleet, hoping to one day reunite with her sister ship.
