[b]Personality:[/b] Tuân is a rather idealistic person, both in creating ideas and also wanting things to be a certain way based on his values. He is fiercely loyal to his values and to those important to him. He is curious about other people and wants to understand them as well as help them reach their full potential. He is adaptable, flexible and accepting unless a value or someone important to him is threatened. [b]*Likes:[/b] Tuân likes listening to music, particularly rock, metal and blues. His father would play a lot of classic rock, heavy metal and blues at home and a lot of it stuck with Tuân. Tuân likes marine wildlife, often observing any who got within eyeball range of the Vietnamese coast, or at least those he could see through a pair of binoculars. [b]*Dislikes:[/b] Tuân doesn't like lone wolves or people who put themselves before the unit when shit hits the fan. Tuân's strong sense of duty and loyalty compels him to do anything he has to for his unit, even if doing so puts his life at risk. Lone wolves don't have that sense of duty or loyalty and that is unacceptable to him. Tuân doesn't like not being able to cook his own food. More often than not, the food that is made for him by the Air Force cooks he isn't entirely fond of, but has to eat it because there isn't anything else. [b]Fears:[/b] Tuân fears losing everyone he cares about to the war. [b]Bio:[/b] Tuân was born just outside of Saigon in 1982. He grew up going on fishing trips with his father and collecting aircraft models. His mother was a nurse. His grandfather was a pilot with the Royal Australian Air Force and flew CAC Sabres early on during Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. Tuân spent parts of his childhood at school in Australia because his family wanted him to get the best possible education. He stayed with his cousins while he was there. It was here that he learned to speak English. Whenever he was back at home in Vietnam, he would study animals and explore the Vietnamese jungles with his father. His mother worked as a nurse in Saigon. Tuân did well in school, scoring good grades in science, maths and sports, but it wasn't all smooth sailing for him. While he did have friends in school, he did experience some bullying in Australia for being from a country that still eats water beetles and the typical anti-communist rhetoric, despite not even considering himself a communist. He believed there was some value to socialism and believed it could be applied to a democratic society. It was while he was in Australia that he figured out that he wanted to be a pilot. He attended an air show with his cousins and the RAAF flew both Hornets and heritage aircraft, with even squadrons from the US Navy and the RAF also participating. He did debate with himself as to whether he should return to Vietnam and be conscripted into the VPAF or stay in Australia and fly for the RAAF since he could do that at this point having obtained dual citizenship. He inevitably chose to return to Vietnam, but remained in contact with some of the friends he made in Australia, some of whom had even enlisted in the RAAF. Upon returning to Vietnam, he received his conscription documents in the post and and applied for the VPAF. He attended the Air Force Officer's College, beginning his flight training on the older Yak-52 trainer aircraft, before eventually progressing onto the L-39C jet trainer. Along with doing exceptionally in his flight training, he also achieved a degree in aeronautical engineering. He was assigned to the 923rd Fighter-Bomber Regiment, flying the Su-30MK2. It would only be a few years before he would actually see combat when the Chinese invaded. He performed multiple strike and air superiority missions, performing admirably and even managing some successes despite the technological advancements that the Chinese aircraft had over Vietnam's older Soviet and Russian aircraft. It was because of his test scores in college and his performance on missions validating those scores that his aircraft would receive special OPL enhancementsand he would pilot the aircraft alongside his co pilot. The aircraft was nicknamed "Cau Ma" or "Phantom Bridge" in English and the list of enhancements fall into three categories; Category 1: Permanent Core System Enhancements. These enhancements are implemented via OPL Core String Integration. These are inherent, always-active baseline features achieved by permanently altering the aircraft's functional reality. Avionics Suite Performance. OPL enhancements to the radar system, passive sensors, EW suite, processing and sensor fusion, core datalink and comms capability and cockpit data management make the avionics perform on par with Western systems as of 2022. The older Soviet radar functions with capabilities equivalent to modern Western AESA radar systems, the EW functions with capabilities equivalent to Western standards like the Praetorian and the SPECTRA, processing and sensors use more advanced fusion architecture comparable to Western 4.5+/early 5th generation aircraft, core datalink and comms compatibility enhanced to be inherently capable of processing and understanding key NATO standards like Link 16 data structure and Mode 5 IFF alongside native protocols. Engine Performance and Signature Enhancements. OPL enhancements to thrust output, thrust efficiency, fuel efficiency and IR signature allow the Phantom Bridge to go further and faster before being detected on IR sensors. Fuel System Enhancement. OPL enhancements have increased the fuel capacity without increasing the weight that is usually associated with such a modification. Maneuverability Enhancement. OPL enhancements have integrated an advanced 3D TVC, further enhancing the supermaneuverability. Signature Management Enhancement. OPL enhancements have reduced the aircraft's radar cross section, making it appear significantly smaller on enemy radar systems than its physical shape suggests. Airframe Enhancements. OPL enhancements allow the airframe to handle increased G Force loads, allowing the pilot to take full advantage of the enhanced engine thrust and TVC for extreme maneuvers. It also increases overall durability and fatigue resistance. Category 2: Modular Interoperability Enhancements. These enhancements are implemented via optimised and modular OPL packages. Activated as needed via the OPL Adaptation Module for specific tasks. Western Weapon Compatibility. OPL enhancements allow the Su-30MK2 to carry and deploy specific Western by activating dedicated and efficient OPL interface packages. Specific Protocol Interfacing. OPL enhancements allow the Su-30MK2 to use non-native communication or datalink protocols by activating specific OPL compatibility packages. Category 3: State-based Role Capabilities. These enhancements are implemented via state-based OPL reality. Activated by the pilot switching the aircraft's OPL-defined operational state. "Carrier Mode". This OPL enhancement is a selectable state that instantly applies OPL facts for routine carrier operations. The facts include carrier rated landing gear, functional CATOBAR interface reality (hook and launch) and functional wing folding reality. "Land Mode": This is the default state where Carrier Mode OPL facts are inactive. After having these enhancements made to his aircraft, he was reassigned to 930th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, otherwise known as "Lotus Squadron", and promoted to Đại úy so that he could effectively lead the squadron if called upon.
