@Selvariabell, ask @Letter Bee.

Edit: Oh damn that timing.

[Letter Bee]

@Selvariabell, Yes; note that if you want to be on the protagonists' side, you have to be a Utility Mech. There are free Antagonist slots, though.

Hisako Lyn Kobayashi

Pilot Character Sheet

Name:
Hisako Lyn Kobayashi

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Appearance:

Hisako stands at 5’7” with black hair going past her lower thigh. She is very loose with her hairstyle since the Corporation tells her how to act and dress since she’s primarily a slave to them. She has a barcode on the back of her neck, signifying that she is a slave to Red-Star.

Her clothes are specifically made by Red-Star for the role she’s committed to, which is a slave and NC pilot. Her attitude is constantly reinforced by shocks of the electric nature, which makes her completely compliant to her superiors. The shock therapy, which Red-Star gives her is in a band around her right arm and is in the same material and color as her jacket, which she wears. The intensity of the shocks are how out of line she gets with her superiors or anyone that is apart of Red-Star.

Her body type is an hourglass, which has caused her many troubles within Red-Star. It’s primarily because of her beauty gets her into trouble. She wears the standard Red-Star ’slave’ flight suit, which is on her completely tight and shows off her curves easier than her actual regular clothes she wears. She’s highly embarrassed when she wears this flight suit, which makes her a bit easy going around anyone of Red-Star. Her body language shows three things about her, which is the first one is she’s completely passive around her superiors and she’ll never be free as a ’comrade.’ Her body language also shows, which she is highly sadistic and enjoys combat against enemy NC Pilots a bit much.

She wears a bracelet on her left wrist, which was a gift from of her many superiors that she has. It is a simple metallic bracelet of silver. Her voice is beautiful, which makes it a singer’s voice. She only is able to use this voice around her superiors, before getting into her NC to destroy the Red-Star’s Enemies.

Personality:

Hisako had a personality, which was highly expected of her, which wanted to become a comrade. However, that was before she was forced to become a Slave NC pilot for the Red-Star mostly because of the fact that her parents hated her disposition. Because of this entire thing she outright despises her highly honorable family. A part of her psyche broke because of how her parents treated her while living in the ‘breeding camp.’ She had a sick fascination if one the corporation she adores much, would kill her parents.

She lost hope of ever being a ’Comrade’ from the get go because of how Red-Star Corporation was brainwashing her to be. Her alteration in her personality made her completely submissive to her superiors, which she became hedonist in the process. Her sexuality is primarily bisexual, which her parents hated that she was. She was already sadistic since she wanted to hear her parents being killed by the Red-Star Corporation. It took her about years of her life to finally hear the good news, which she wanted to hear. It was one of her superiors who was outright trying to keep her psyche somewhat intact by gifting her with the good news and the silver metallic bracelet.

Hisako was shocked at the news she wanted to hear for all this time. She cried for the first time in ages ever since her parents told her they hated her. Her entire body couldn’t help but feel regret of what she wanted to happen to her parents. But they were traitors, dissenting against the Red-Star Corporation for the requesting to kill off Hisako or they will cause a riot in the place they were stuck in. This caused her to become even more submissive to her superiors and showed she had a different side of her a valuable side. She had an outright completely different look on life, while being a slave soldier of Red-Star. Her new goal was to make everyone who is free into a slave of Red-Star, which is the only communist ideology of a Mega Corporation out there.

However, she does have outbursts and must be punished for those outbursts, which are shocking her to refocus her hate. On, people which deserve her hate and hyper focused goals of completely wiping out an entire any form of freedom for every single person. Red-Star Corporation is the only corporation which should control the world in her mind. Because of this fact, in her head she’s a highly efficient slave pilot of Red-Star in how brutal she is. It didn’t help she was raised by family that pushed her to be this sadistic towards other people that don’t deserve to be called human. She’s a bitter Red-Star Corporation slave, which has a world burning mentality even more so than it was.

Backstory:

Hisako was born in 2,559 to her father Tadashi N. Kobayashi and her mother Arisu Lyn Kobayashi in Red-Star Corporation’s territory of Japan. It was in a breeding camp particularly near the burrow of Tokyo. However, her family wasn’t apart of the leadership of Japan when it lost its freedom by the Red-Star Corporation. Therefore, made them specifically slaves to rise up the ranks of the Corporation’s ranking system. They would have to become ‘comrades,’ which would be a long widening task and very few ways of advancement.

However, they figured they would use their daughter specifically for this advancement to become Comrades. It didn’t help that their daughter had a differing view from them. They were highly honorable Japanese, which didn’t like being subjected to the treatment of being slaves. They kept this hidden from the Red-Star Corporation, but it was being harder to hide something that was in their blood.

They spoke to their daughter in a degrading tone of voice and told her they hated her. She was around age 12 when they told her the truth of what was going on with them. She became to hate her parents. However, she was forced to become a NC pilot at her age of twelve. Therefore, caused her to be highly brainwashed by Red-Star Brand Propaganda. However, it was a bit harder since she had outbursts every other time so they had to implement punishment in the form of shocking her. She knew one thing, which she was going to stay in this hell for most of her life. It was nothing to cry about since she was highly wanting in creating her life as much as possible.

When she turned 15 years old, she got the first taste of combat. She did her best and tried with the whole thing she learned something that she wished on her parents all those years ago. Their deaths, which actually happened because they dissented against Red-Star completely. That means she got what she wanted but she felt regret for the first time in ages, however, this made her more for the cause as a whole. She wasn’t really that remarkable in the whole thing but at least she killed did her best in interrogation and torture. To be for Red-Star Corporation like she was broken down and then built back up. She enjoyed it a bit too much, however.

She hasn’t been able to lose the mental conditioning for what she sees as trash and garbage in terms of freedom. No one should be free to think of themselves, which is one of the reasons she outright hates the Havenities. She hates all of the corporations equally, which aren’t Red-Star Corporation. She adores it with a sense of loyalty, which rivals her sadistic nature a bit too well. She will do the best for her corporation, even if it kills her. She did get one thing from her parents, which caused her to be definitely brutal at assaulting positions that is her weapon choices.

Now three years later, on the eve of the Red Star about to give a large blow to Haven since she heard the propaganda of Red Star need to be defeated at all cost. Her unbelievably strong will in wanting to destroy the livelihoods of everyone in Haven will make her extremely happy. She has never wanted to raise through the ranks in Red Star, which is mostly because her parents all those years ago destroyed that what she seeks. She wants to help the Red-Star Corporation to the best of her abilities to make sure Haven doesn’t survive any longer.

Tactical Preferences & Skills:

Hisako’s tactical preference is simply guns, swords and anything, which has a enough bite to injure or kill her opponent in NC combat. She is highly interesting in torturing only female pilots in breaking them for her superiors or anyone like them will be enjoyable. Her actions in her NC is different from her actions outside of it. The greatest asset is, she can be an excellent liar, which caused a few NC pilots of certain corporations to estimate her wanting to defect. However, she never wanted to defect from Red-Star. She put her charms on, to make people think that then she stabs them in the back by literally disabling their NC and dragging it to the closest Red-Star Transport. Therefore, she has been nicknamed the Backstabber, when involving the other Corporations.

Her on the ground, however, is slightly more honorable in how she fights with her set of weapons. She particularly likes to use katanas or assault rifles. She’s pretty versatile in those set of skills. Her sync ratio is 80% but that’s only because she was efficiently brainwashed to be that high of syncing with her NC. She’ll won’t be as synced as other pilots in Red-Star or other places. She wants to protect her superiors from anything, which shows why she’s highly loyal to Red-Star. Her fascination on it makes her seem a bit happy she won’t be rising through the ranks in Red-Star.

In terms of everything, her skills with weapons are unmatched. She uses them with deadly efficiency and accuracy that makes the Red-Star Corporation happy they fully brainwashed her. She outright loves her NC and hates when it gets damaged. The only thing that can keep her from outright snapping and needing to be drugged.

Notes:

She cares not for what the Red-Star Corporation does with its resources. She’s addicted to some of those artificial reality games herself. That calms herself down before or after a mission. She has no real reason to make any effort to raise through the ranks since she’s a slave no matter what. Slightly lower on the totem pole, just because she’s a female slave.

She has about two katanas on her side, and a pistol on her other side. If it was up to her she would be helping Red-Star out in different ways. But she gets her orders directly from Red-Star Command to be apart of any push or what not. She calms herself down with some songs.

Grand Sword Star NC

NC Character Sheet

Code-name:

Grand Sword Star

Appearance:

Appearance

Body Type:

Bipedal, Medium and Hover.

Type of NC:

Assault

Equipment & Armaments:

The Grand Sword

The Grand Sword is the weapon for the NC called Grand Sword Star. It is a hyper focused blade, which can cut through its enemies with ease. It has a system, which makes sure not to harm the pilot of another NC since they need to be taken to the nearest prisoner center for Red-Star to torture. It has a massive electric shock, which usually disables NCs but that’s only when it revs up its gears on it.

’Star’ Impale Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle, which uses specialized rounds called Impale Star Rounds. The Impale Star Rounds stop the movement of an NC, which is near the size of it. It is useful to capture anyone who has specifically required for the pilot of the NC to torture them. The look of the Assault Rifle in question is specifically is a pure white assault rifle, with the Red-Star symbol on it. And it barrel shifts from a star-shaped barrel to a regular assault rifle barrel. The Impale Star Rounds specifically only come from the star-shaped barrel. It shoots coiled rounds out of its regular configuration.

Star Shield

The Star Shield is a unique shield, which forms in front of the NC from its chest and moves in front of it. It stops about three feet away from it to stop any form of weapon, which targets it. Specifically laser based weaponry though. The Star Shield is in the form of the Red-Star Corporation’s symbol, which is why it is called the Star Shield.

Presence Amplifier

The Amplifier is the reason it has an terrifying presence on the battlefield, which it amplifies the emotions and feelings of the NC pilot. When she’s outright terrifyingly want to kill you, her presence amplifier will make the presence of the NC look larger than it is. It is specifically an illusion based byproduct of this specific equipment on the Grand Sword Star NC. It has a single drawback, the NC cannot use any of its defensive countermeasures while the Presence Amplifier is turned on.

Star Impulsive Thrust

The Star Impulsive Thrusters allow the NC to approach a target faster, when it is holding the Grand Sword. This causes the Grand Sword Star to gain hover capabilities in any direction even though it isn’t as agile as other hover based NCs. It is hover capable at least.

Overbooster

The overbooster function, which increases its parameters by two times. In overboost mode, however, it strains the NC’s Pilot to the point of breaking them further. The entire NC’s color change from the red it usually shows to a pure pale red color, with even the Red Star symbol changing from Red to white. It increases its speed, maneuverability, and its melee efficiency with the Grand Sword itself. It turns it primarily from a NC, which can use ranged and melee into only able to wield and use the melee weapon it came with.

This mode amplifies its PSA system, the Impulsive Thrusters, and the Star Shield by one point five times. However, the only system on the entire NC, which is disabled completely is the Presence Amplifier. And it can only stay active for around two hours or it will overheat. It’ll need to retreat under half power to a nearest Red-Star Transport or Carrier, which will allow it to recharge. This mode is still in the experimental stages since this is the only NC, which has it equipped.

Precision Spectrum Analyzation

The P.S.A system on it accurately and precisely sees everything in all the spectrum to see any detail within and without the NC. It can see how worn the NC Pilot is. It gives accurate numbers on the likelihood of her survival in basic percentages if she pushes herself anymore. The only drawback to this P.S.A system is it is too accurate in its assumptions of the NC Pilot’s survival chances on any and all targets it can see.

Note:

The size of the Grand Sword Star NC is 5 meters tall. It has specific Red-Star insignia on it, which is only on the white part of its left shoulder. It was specifically created for Hisako Kobayashi with everything she needs to do the best she can for the Red-Star Corporation. Additionally, it has some extra features, which are only for its weapons that are able to be seen, like the namesake Grand Sword, it’s in a seethe that goes on the side of it. And there’s some other see able weapons too. The Star Impale Assault Rifle is on the NC’s back in regular non-star assault rifle mode.

Villain Sheet

Villain Sheet

Name: Hirohiko Fujiyama (But everyone calls him Dread)

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Dread makes no attempt to hide who and what he is. He is, in reality, just a human being, but doesn't think in terms of that. We'll get to that later. What he defines himself as physically as someone who seems built enough to go from zero-to-kill-you in a second. He looks like someone who looks down on other people as garbage, and wishes nothing more than to toss them into a bonfire and light a match. He's strong, he's pale-looking, he has scars from basically the life he's led, and he doesn't seem to care. The only real important identifiers on his body that make him stand out are the tattoos he has on both of his arms, that of a black mamba's head on his shoulder spitting out a series of black vipers down his arms.

Personality:

Ah, here we go, the million-dollar psychosis. Dread was just simply wrong from the star. For some reason, he just started regarding those closest to him as slaves, all people around him as prey, and everyone as disposable as trash. In fact, he hates to even be around people, as they make him feel dirty. Not as in some prick who's arrogant as hell and calls people garbage all the time. No, he hates you, and he wants nothing more than for you to die. If you're not giving him something he wants, you're being looked at like a body on a surgical table. You're an animal, which is ironic because what HE is...is a monster.

Dread believes that the word and the definition of 'human' was only put there to make such creatures feel smug about themselves, that they're not any better than any other being, except for him because he's putting you in his place. He believes that people should all be below him, and he enforces this in the oldest way, by fear or by force. Dread wants you in two places, in fear of him or preparing to die. It isn't some sort of plot to seize power. He has no ambition higher than everyone cowering in his presence as he walks by. It is highly-unlikely that he can get along with anyone, which is why Red-Star decided to use him.

Backstory:

He was born in Japan, and in one of the worst sectors that Red-Star owns in such, although the word he would use was...produced. He has no real ties to his parents, and he did not like the name they imposed upon him. It felt limp, weak, dirty... Of course, you don't think about that in your earliest years, but Dread developed wrong as a child. He was a scavenger with an over-developed feel for violence. He bit people. His parents tried to get him out of that and he snarled at them. On some instinctual level, Dread felt this world was shit, and he was right about that much. However, alot of the things that he decided after that were horrible... When he decided on his own moniker, things got worse.

He developed in a survivalist mentality of kill-or-be-killed, except he did not think of himself as a human trying to survive. He thought of human beings as weak hanger-ons and that he should kill them for their stuff if they didn't immediately hand it over. Time passed like this, and you can imagine that his parents didn't last long. Nurturing behavior wasn't his thing. They were a resource, and when they ceased to be useful to him...snap. Naturally, you could expect that even in the worst sectors of the Red-Star, they would eventually become aware of a guy going around, methodically killing people who didn't just cringe at his presence. Dread wasn't like a ganger who surrounded himself in toadies who will follow him and he wasn't like someone trying to start an underground movement to take over. He was just death and terror. So, they picked him up and said "We want your kind of talent in Red-Star. We will give you things you want if you handle situations the way we want. You may find it most rewarding.".

The fact is that Red-Star is just as bad as him, but a little more controlled and alot more ambitious. They are a corporation that is taking the world and forcing every part of it into product, with no care for human concern or freedoms of any kind. You're there to feed the machine. Dread cared little their plans, on the whole, but it seemed they wanted him to be better and more capable at what he does, and to extend such acts to more people. That was fine, but if they crossed him, it was going to be a bad day for all.

Tactical Preferences and Skills: He has two modes of combat, methodical and vicious, and he is very good at both. He really has no care for anything beyond asserting himself as a dominant creature, and therefore looks for the means to definitively put himself there. If you are dangerous in a complicated way, he wants to take apart everything that makes you strong until you have little to nothing left. If you are simply deadly in a straightforward way, he will overpower you with little care of what happens to his body, except for the most basic of self-preservation. Anything that isn't life-threatening makes no difference to him, so he'll power through.

Notes: Red-Star has under constant surveilance in case he turns against them, but he knows they're always watching him.

NC Sheet

Code-name: Ursa Nova

Appearance:

Ursa Nova is a melee assault machine with mid-range attack options. It is designed to close in on targets and never give them a moment to think as it viciously attacks with its built-in weaponry. It is essentially a hunter-killer of high caliber, both durable and surprisingly agile, for all its mass.

Body Type: Variable Bipedal/Quadroped.

Type of NC: Heavy Assault

Equipment & Armaments:

Claws/Teeth/Grinders - All of the noted sharp points of Ursa are heated to the point of being able to more-easily tear into any target, like dumping lava onto a car, but with the force of a crusher. The clawed hands and feet CAN melt the ground around them upon contact with it, and it is possible for Ursa to scoop up bits of the landscape, mold it into a molten projectile, and throw it at an enemy. This is essentially a parlor trick, but it can be dangerous if caught unawares. The mouth of Ursa is designed to clamp down and maul its target until either torn off or forced away somehow. The grinders are essentially heated saws and drills in one, useful for backhanding opponents and tearing whatever's hit to bits. While it is technically possible for this machine to burrow because it's a bear, it is not practical for it to do so.

Heat/Plasma Jet System - This is a fully-integrated system working with both jet engine technology and plasma-flame projectors. Ursa Nova is very often on fire, so much so that a rain storm or even a blizzard will not make it quit. It is a heavily-insulated machine with flame ports on the torso and in the palms of the machine, as well as in the mouth. These ports project high-heat plasma supplied by the heavy reaction unit inside of the beast, any of which could be turned up to thrust-capable levels of force, though the actual jet engines for maneuvers are in the feet and in the lower back (retractible ports there). Heat-dispersion vents to remove internal heat are located in the back near the shoulder haunches, keeping the pilot at normal temperatures. They purge with force, so jamming them is unlikely. As a result, Ursa adds intense plasma flames or bursts to its attacks, at will.

Energy Shield - Because Ursa is a heavily-armored unit, it can come until attack from a distance while closing said distance, so it makes sense to apply the use of an energy shield to protect it. The envelope gives it the ability to tank even harder hits and dissipate excess internal heat in case attempts were made to prevent this from happening. Since this machine is designed to tank hits in the first place, there can be nothing more galling than watching it recover from attempts to disable it and being unable to reliably harm it.

[Letter Bee]

@Landaus Five-One, Bisexuality is inborn; to say one can get it through brainwashing is a bit inaccurate and problematic. And Red-Star also uses drugs in addition to pain. Otherwise acceptable.

@FalloutJack, Accepted.

[Letter Bee]

@Selvariabell, Sorry to double-post, but a 'Heavy' Slot for the Protagonists has opened.

@Landaus Five-One, Accepted now.

This is actually false, but it may open if I cannot play for a while.

Will post if I am able in the afternoon. I have an exam today as well as a medical check up. Hope this isn't bad for my lungs

Character Sheet - Maria Leonora "Len" Trillanes

NPC Character Sheet

Name: Maria Leonora "Len" Trillanes

Appearance:


Age: 21

Personality: Len may appear shy and reserved, but is cool-headed and calculating should push comes to shove. A supporter of Haven's ideals and with a personal hatred of the Red-Star, Len fights with passion.

Of course, Len isn't perfect. Admittedly, she is to stubborn with her ideals, with a holier than thou attitude. Her hatred also makes her less compassionate and racist against people of Chinese descent.

Backstory: Daughter of a purged Red-Star general after leading a failed anarchist uprising in the Philippines, Len was exiled to Haven with a personal vendetta on the Red-Star, and vowed to see the latter destroyed. Len joined the Haven military despite her frail physique. Predictably, Len was delegated to auxiliary role as her body is deemed unfit for frontline combat. But what she lacks in physical strength, she makes it up with her intelligence and mental capacity. She is eventually assigned with piloting utility mechs after the military brass noticed her abilities, as well as due to the fact that she is neurally sensitive thanks to genetic manipulation (reading the lore, I assume the elites in the Red-Star would be neurally-sensitive as per their mech doctrine).

Tactical Preferences and Skills: As a utility pilot, Len prefers figting at a distance, using drones to do the dirty work for her, whether scouting with recon drones, repairing damaged allies with repair drones, protecting allies with shield drones, or even outright fighting enemy forces with laser drones (imagine funnels from Gundam).

Mech combat aside, Len is very capable of critical thinking, able to act independently should push comes to shove. As an auxiliary, Len has knowledge of first aid, as well as culinary degree, making her a very good cook.

Notes: Len is heterosexual with a loving non-binary boyfriend. Len is very religious (a Marian devotee matter fact), but also very tolerant. Her political ideology is Christian Anarchism.

NC Character Sheet

Code-name: Charlemagne

Appearance:


Body Type: (Bipedal, Hover, Tank-Tread, .etc) Bipedal-Hover

Type of NC: (General-Purpose, Interception, Assault, .etc) Utility

Equipment & Armaments:

• 2x Schmidt & Kreiss Panzershutzengewehr Mk.03 80mm Laser Rifle - 2 laser rifles were place in lieu of hands, it is the Charlemagne's mid/close-range weapon should the enemy gets too close for comfort.
• Federal Dynamics GAU-18 40mm Vulcan - A versatile CIWS using a 40mm multi-purpose round for self-defense.
• GDOTS Advanced Countermeasure System - Designed to combat anti-air systems, the GDOTS ACS is a state of the art protection system designed to better protect the steep investment that is the NC. Alongside standard decoy and smoke launchers, the GDOTS ACS also includes a short range ECM pod and a counter-launcher- essentially a miniature missile launcher, that detects oncoming heat signatures and launches guided munitions to counter and neutralize the oncoming threat.
• Energy Shield - Your typical forcefield that covers the body and protects it from additional harm.
  

  ---

• Variable Drone Launcher System - Inside Ratatouille's "backpack" is a VLS from which to launch drones from, able to fit up to 24 drones, which can be swapped depending on what the mission entails.
  
  • ADR-150X Recon Drone - Dedicated for scouting, the ADR-150X is a lightly-armed drone containing advanced sensors and avionics. Armed only with an anti-personnel SAW, this drone sacrifices firepower for range and sensors.
  • ADM-210 Repair Drone - As a utility NC, the ADM-210 Repair Drone is the most important drone in Charlemagne's disposal. Armed with nano-particles, it is capable of repairing mechs on the fly. Enabling allies to fight longer.
  • ADS-240 Shielder Drone - Built with survivability in mind, the robust ADS-240 is capable of launching energy shield to protect allies from certain destruction, further increasing allies' survivability.
  • AIF-99 Laser Drone - The Charlemagne's primary offensive weapon, the AIF-99 Laser Drone is armed with Schmidt & Kreiss Drohnengewehr Mk.10 55.6mm laser rifle, capable of engaging and penetrating enemy NCs at short to medium range. While inferior to the arm-mounted 80mm laser rifles in single comparison, it makes it up with the application of drone swarm tactics.

Will there be time between the coffeehouse and the first battle? Zahra might order take-out, since she is used to eating in private. Face-veil and all. She'll drink coffee, but anything more than that would become pretty messy.

There won't be, sadly.
