[B][I]CS for Villains[/i][/b] [hider=Alexander Sky] [b]Name:[/b] Alexander Sky [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/w9iNoNg.png[/img] [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Personality:[/b] To all appearances, Alexander Sky is fanatically loyal to Red-Star and wishes to prove himself worthy of overcoming his European blood in order to become a 'True Comrade' of Red-Star. In order to accomplish this, Alexander captures other NC Pilots and their machines, believing that he is bringing said pilots 'to the light' by giving them over to be tortured and enslaved by Red-Star. He frequently makes much of being the perfect Slave-Pilot who merely wishes to join his comrades in the higher ranks, and perfectly accepting his place in life. All of this is a lie. Through means outlined below in the Backstory, Alexander has seen the rottenness of the Red-Star Corporate Government and wants it brought down as deeply as possible. But whether this translates to sabotaging his own faction's invasion of Darwin City, or if he sees this as merely another opportunity to convince Red-Star of his continued loyalty, remains to be seen... [b]Backstory:[/b] Alexander Sky was born to Volkov Prisoners of War that the Russian MegaCorp had abandoned to Red-Star's 'Human Breeding Camps'. At the age of six, his high Sync Ratio was discovered, thus prompting him to be trained as a pilot; his loyalty was to be secured with indoctrination, drugs, and the promise of freedom for himself and his parents should he prove himself to the Red-Star hierarchy. After doing well in his training and what studies were permitted to him by his masters, Alexander found himself with a golden opportunity to show his worth; Denver-Vegas had invaded the Red-Star territory of Japan, where the locals were rebelling against the Beijing-based Corporation. And so the pilot, given his first NC at sixteen, came, saw, and conquered, destroying several battalions of D-V soldiers and capturing several of D-V's aces. But just as he was on the verge of being hailed as a hero and being given freedom as a 'Comrade', D-V and Red-Star signed a peace treaty in which D-V decided to end its invasion of Japan in exchange for its pilots being returned unharmed. Problem is, Red-Star had already broken a few of them through torture, thus putting the peace proposal in danger. So the Denver-Vegas general proposed an alternative; they would be allowed to flog Alexander half to death in exchange for peace. Red-Star unsurprisingly agreed. And as Alexander was exhibited before the Denver-Vegas ranks and publicly tortured, it was then that his faith in Red-Star was put under serious strain. Then, as he was recuperating from the flogging, he found out that his parents had vanished from their slave camp; Red-Star's secret police had taken them away when they had protested against their son's treatment. This broke his loyalty to the Corporation, but he managed to hide it under a mask of continued obedience. Nevertheless, it was then that he began to be more curious about the world, to try and find ways around Red-Star's propaganda and control of information. And with that, no more can be revealed about his story; suffice it to say that he has his own plans now... [b]Tactical Preferences and Skills:[/b] Alexander Sky prefers a quick and forceful strike meant to destroy the enemy's defenses, closing in with energy weapons and submachine fire before closing into melee. Despite this, he does not like fragile machines and takes care to make sure he has a mech that balances out defense and offense. He also believes in using flying NCs whenever he can in order to get in and get out of situations as much as possible. Outside of his Mecha, he can use Railgun/Coilgun Assault Rifles and a Chinese Jian Sword, plus is decent with computers and Virtual Reality games and simulations (it is speculated that his mastery of Virtual Reality is tied to his High Sync ratio, as well as the reason he was able to gain information unaltered by Red-Star propaganda). [b]Notes:[/b] Alex is bisexual. ------ [b]NC Character Sheet:[/b] [b]Code-name:[/b] Phoenix Inferno [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/F6wNceM.jpg[/img] [b]Body Type: (Bipedal, Hover, Tank-Tread, .etc)[/b] Bipedal-Hover [b]Type of NC: (General-Purpose, Interception, Assault, .etc):[/b] Heavy Assault [b]Equipment & Armaments:[/b] - Right arm-mounted Claw with an Ion Pulse Projector. - Two shoulder-mounted Fusion Cannons that shoot superheated gas. - Plasma Dagger (held in left arm). - Missile Launchers (loaded with electrified nets). - Energy Shield.

But like Alexander before him, he has begun showing doubts about his place in Red-Star's hierarchy, especially as Osamu Akiyama continues to target him for abuse. He also has some masochistic tendencies. [b]Backstory:[/b] Japanese Slave-Pilot of Red-Star, sold to the corporation by his parents, who were hoping to get out of being treated as second-class citizens by the Chinese-ran MegaCorp and their collaborators in Japan. Somehow wound up as Osamu Akiyama's target for hazing and torture. Other than that, not many details are known about him. [b]Tactical Preferences and Skills:[/b] Mako, like Alexander, prefers melee. Unlike Alexander, Mako is fine with piloting fragile NCs/Mecha and merely avoiding all attacks thrown his way with the nigh-supernatural abilities endowed by his high Sync Ratio, which is higher than Alexander's. Offense-wise, he prefers a mix of ranged and melee attacks, with all of his weapons having some way of overcoming forcefields and armor. Outside of his Mech, however, Mako prefers a sniper rifle so he can cover 'Alexander-senpai' when the latter is forced to involve himself in urban combat. [b]Notes:[/b] Mako is bisexual. ------ [b]NC Character Sheet:[/b] [b]Code-name:[/b] Kitsune [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/cEybReV.jpg[/img] [b]Body Type: (Bipedal, Hover, Tank-Tread, .etc)[/b] Hover-Bipedal [b]Type of NC: (General-Purpose, Interception, Assault, .etc):[/b] Assault [b]Equipment & Armaments:[/b] - Coilgun Shotgun that fires armor-piercing bullets that explode after penetration (Right Hand). - Meta-material monomolecular dagger designed for opening up armor plates (Left Hand). - Shoulder-mounted Energy Blades. - Cloaking Device that guarantees invisibility to most forms of scanning.
