He has a little bit of stubble, as he prefers a rustic look. Glenn has rather angular features and is considered conventionally attractive by most people. [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 31 [b][u]Occupation:[/u][/b] Pilot working for TERRA. Part of his job is training new pilots, testing new aircraft, and providing air support while fighting new threats. [b][u]Starting Location:[/u][/b] An Aircraft Carrier off the coast of Japan. [b][u]History:[/u][/b] Glenn Spade was always fascinated by the idea of flight as a child. He had aspirations of being a pilot since he was very young. When he was sixteen, he started going for his recreational pilot's license. He did very well. Becoming the youngest person to do a solo landing in Queensland. His father, who was an Army Commander, was proud and pushed him towards a career in the Air Force. His mother wasn't around, having died during childbirth, and Glenn taking interest in the Air Force was the first time his Father felt like he was doing this parenting thing right. Glenn enlisted when he was eighteen. He did very well in the aptitude testing and was fast-tracked through various advanced aircraft training courses. By the time he was twenty-five, he had made a name for himself. Skull One.

The Air Force let him fly the fastest planes. At least until the incident. It was a routine exercise in the Australian Outback. There wasn't supposed to be any live fire. Just seeing who could get missile lock first. The Jets hadn't even had any missiles loaded. It was during this training exercise that Glenn Spade saw something. A creature of some sort. He couldn't describe it. Just that something was out there. It was fast, and burrowed into the sand. Whatever it was, it took down five fighter planes. Glenn was the only plane left in the sky before the creature disappeared. The Air Force didn't believe him, and put him on desk duty, while they looked into it. They were looking for evidence to court marshal him. They probably would have to, if TERRA didn't pick him up.

Originally designed with a modular weapon system, that allowed for payloads to be swapped for each mission, this concept was scrapped when TERRA found plans for a series of Construction robots. [img]https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/001/851/638/large/jarold-sng-tw-huanghe-01.jpg?1453734367[/img] While the robots themselves never really got off the ground, it did introduce an interesting idea. What if the ship was made to be more humanoid. With that in mind, several blueprints were created. Miniature models were created and after about two weres of research and development, the first CONDOR was put together. It was a far cry from what it is today. Larger and bulkier, it resembled more what people expected a mech to look like. A large person with wings. They thought they did well, even if it did look like something out of an anime. What they didn't realize was that their technology was far from what is typically shown in anime. The first CONDOR required three people on board to pilot the thing, and a support compliment of six to keep it running from afar. With all these people working together, no matter how well they worked together, it was still clunky. A trial run with a contained Kaiju was arranged. Waivers were signed, and it was thought the mech would win easily. This was not the case. The CONDOR 1 was torn apart in less than a minute the first time it fought a Kaiju. It was a devastating defeat. All three pilots were killed. However, this defeat was necessary for getting CONDOR where it is today. They stopped looking at it like it was a Mech and started looking at it as a jet. The arms were kept as it allowed the jet to re-equip the main weapon faster than any modular system available at the time. Plus it was a pretty cool gimmick. The design was streamlined, and the number of people required for operation was cut down to two pilots on board, and only one remote operator The rest had become automated. The design was still being tweaked, as no one was still happy with it. Simulations were run, and it still wasn't fast enough. You see, up until this point, the CONDOR only had one rocket engine, behind the cockpit. The engineers decided that adding one on each wing and adding an extra set of "Joints" would not only increase speed but agility and overall manoeuvrability as well. Since then, the only real improvements that had been made were software.

While it lacks any real offensive capabilities that would affect a Kaiju, its main use in the Pilot Corp. With Kaiju knocking planes out of the sky, TERRA found it was easier to develop the Pilot Survival Suit instead of training new pilots every time one died. [/hider] [/centre][/hider]
