Originally from Westwel, Besca Darroh has been around Saviors her entire life. Her grandfather had helped fell the Modir who would become “Dragon,” and her father had headed Westwel’s burgeoning Savior program. She met dozens of pilots, watched as their connection to the Modir ate away at their minds and bodies. Other nations treated their pilots like a resource to be burned through, kept at arm’s length in all but public affairs. Besca, however, went out of her way to engage with Westwel’s pilots and even piloting candidates, caring after them with a degree of humanity which was, frankly, missing in the programs of other nations. Her methods were derided as frivolous and naïve by her peers, but the pilots appreciated it, which, to her, was all that mattered.

She lost many things in Westwel’s fall; her home, her father, her friends, and no small piece of her faith in humanity, but ironically enough she didn’t lose her job. When Runa took in her country’s refugees, and subsequently acquired their first Savior, they came to the last living member of Westwel’s program for help in founding their own. 

Nowadays, Besca doesn’t often involve herself in the politics of the program. Technically speaking she isn’t even chief of operations—a position occupied by the Runan government—but rather, her duties revolve around “pilot maintenance.” While she hasn’t lost her desire to make life easier for the pilots, she isn’t nearly as incorrigibly optimistic or sunny as she once was.

Dahlia was a toddler when her home was destroyed by the Modir, spirited away from Westwel in the arms of a family friend. She spent the first fourteen years of her life in the quiet, lakeside town of Hovvi. She was, like many children, absolutely enthralled by the Saviors, so when she tested positive and was whisked away into orbit, Dahlia thought her dream had come true. She missed her friends, and her adoptive father, but this was her opportunity to do something [i]important[/i]. This was her chance to help. 

She had no idea. 

Runa’s Savior, Dragon, had not been phased by a single pilot until Dahlia entered the cockpit. With its potential finally unleashed, she was able to end invasions within minutes—which was crucial, because she couldn’t remain connected for much longer than that before the giant’s neural regeneration reached critical levels. 

Dahlia has become Runa’s WMD, and as such, she actually doesn’t pilot as much as she did before 	R.I.S.C. acquired its two other Saviors. Besca has become rather protective of her, not wanting to risk putting her in situations where she may be forced to over-exert herself, or risk being overtaken.

Hadrian Ghaust is Helburke personified. He is strong, unrelenting, stoic to a chilling degree, and utterly devastating in the cockpit. Ghaust is also a veteran pilot, having commanded the Savior Marrowman in service of the Helburken crown for 20 years, and despite a phasing speed so slow that he rarely deigns to use his magic at all, he was well on his way to becoming one of his country’s most accomplished pilots. 

However, Ghaust’s priority has always been the fight against the Modir, and Helburke’s clamor for political power is something he viewed with silent disdain. To him, using Saviors to settle diplomatic disputes isn’t just wasteful, it’s shameful. So, when Helburke ordered him to bring Marrowman to bear against the newly-risen Runa’s Dragon, he refused. When, then, he was given the ultimatum of going through with the duel or forfeiting his rank and position, he looked his general in the eye, ripped the pilot’s medal from his collar, and left his home behind. 

Overnight Ghaust was made a Pariah in Helburke, and his home turned against him. He was forced to leave, and though several foreign programs sought him out, Ghaust denied them all, even passing up a pilot’s seat in Eusero. Instead, he went straight to the burgeoning program in Runa, who was more than happy to take him.

R.I.S.C.’s newest pilot, Safie has spent the past year earning her place at Dahlia and Ghaust’s sides. Born and raised in Runa’s largest city, Queenshand, Safie was one of countless starry-eyed youths who dreamed of the day she’d get to step inside the cockpit of a Savior. A positive connection-test put her on the path, but it was the months upon months of personal training, rigorous study, and nights spent running sims until dawn that pulled her ahead of the other aspirants. With a phase potential speed just above average, she was a perfect fit between Runa’s other two pilots.

While Dahlia has accrued something of a heroic mythos about her, she’s often reclusive and hesitant to make many public appearances. Safie on the other hand loves to meet the people she’s helping, be that with personal visits, answering fan-mail, or simply getting her hands dirty cleaning up after the messier invasions. Some see her approach as distinctly Euseran, but Safie didn’t become a pilot for the attention, she became a pilot because it was the right thing to do.

[indent][SUP][COLOR=SILVER]
Casoban’s sole effort to save Westwel, while ultimately futile, planted the seeds of goodwill between it and Runa. Casoban has always lived in the influential shadows of Helburke and Eusero, but allied with Runa, the two manage a strong presence on the world stage. 

As a show of solidarity, Casoban has even begun sending a Savior of its own as backup to Runa’s invasions. Enter: Lucis Abroix. 

Lucis is perhaps one of Casoban’s most beloved pilots, despite having only a handful of deployments to his name. Handsome, personable, with a poetic flare and the voice of an angel, many people back home already consider him the face of Casoban’s Savior program—a role he is more than happy to play. Lucis makes regular public appearances, seemingly never missing an opportunity to espouse his love for the beauty of the world, and his burning desire to protect it from the Modir.
