Biography:
Born and raised into a mining family in the Yukon, Alex had a rather hard start in life. Her family bordered on the poverty line and only because of her father’s endless shifts did they get to put food on the table. Alex was brought into the family business at only ten years old and was assigned to work in the kitchen to feed the hungry miners.
It was here that Alex found her love of planes. The three-man defensive squadron of their quaint little village was unimpressive at best, but managed to hold off any prying eyes that dared to even think of taking the mine for themselves. Every day, Alex made a point of escaping the kitchen to watch their noon hour flyovers, left in awe by the throaty engines and nimble planes that had defended them for so long. She desperately wanted to be up there with them, but was held back by both her family and lifestyle.
Alex wanted to leave. To escape. To fly. She developed a plan to stowaway on the Douglas DC9 cargo plane that supplied the area with food and fuel, and travel down closer to the border. Here, she could do what she wanted with her life.
By the time she had hitchhiked her way through the country, Alex was eighteen. Through both working odd jobs for people she met along her travels, and selling herself as a dancer at various taverns, she made enough money to purchase a rather unimpressive Spitfire XII at a private auction in Foymount, Ontario. With no more than a rusted engine and an airframe, she rebuilt the plane to be flyable and flew herself down into the States, where she took on small contracts varying from light transport to reconnaissance.
It was then when she used the accumulated savings to really build her plane into something noteworthy. The Scarlet Harlot, a name inspired from her rather....dark past. She made a name for herself as a smuggler, transporting illegal items and substances in a makeshift cargo hold built around the fuel tank of her spitfire.
Arrested in New York, she was to be tried for her crimes before the government realised how much of an asset she could be. A pilot who had flown her way through dangerous skies would also be skilled in defending herself and evading those who she could not fight. She was given an offer to either serve her time in prison, or serving the State in a squadron of pilots. Her decisions led her into the New York 5, though rather unintentionally.

Aircraft Info
Description: Pulled from a museum in Southern Canada, the Harlot was acquired via private auction and then transported across the border and down into the outskirts of Philadelphia. There, it was reassembled by Alex and fitted with modified and upgraded parts, including heavier weaponry, a supercharged engine and re-finished body panels. The rotor was swapped out from the five blade rotor that had been mounted on it, to a four blade rotor that kept to the original look of the aircraft. The name of the aircraft comes from the tail fin, painted red more for show and distinguishment than anything.
Plane Type: Dogfighter, modified 1943 Spitfire XII
Weight (Fully fueled and armed): 7,500lbs
Engine: Supercharged RR Griffon III, 2100hp
Top speed: 395mph below 10,000ft, 340mph above 12,000ft
Weapons Descriptions: -
4x Forward facing 20mm machine guns, 2x nose mounted, 2x wing mounted
-
2x Forward facing .50 cal machine guns, nose mounted
-
4x Flare sets
-
2x Multi-pod Missiles.
Weaknesses: While extremely fast and nimble at altitudes from 0-14,000ft, it becomes much slower at altitudes exceeding this due to the clipped wings and supercharged engine. The supercharged Griffon III engine exceeds 2000hp, however at the cost of a higher fuel draw, giving it a more limited range. Light armor in exchange for a higher speed.
Past Encounters: Mainly used as a smuggling aircraft, the Harlot has seen a few dogfights with local "lawmen" and patriots. When it's speed could not beat it's competitors, its maneuverability and guns did.
