Diana’s Brutal Reality – The Gamble – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 10th)

---

Diana was a bit distracted with a single thought in her head about what to do during a so called competition, it was racking her brain a bit. It caused her to remember, what her mother had said about gambling during a competition of any kind. ”I have a feeling there’s going to be some high stakes here… I wonder what that’ll be. Even though I have never put anything up before...” Diana thought to herself, with a slight smirk on her face. However, the one thing she would love to do was smack Luke really hard. She couldn’t help but feel like she was being sized up by Victoria for a reason or two, however, it didn’t really brother her much. It was something she had to deal with all her life mostly because of the fact her sister’s were a bit of a cunt to her.

However, she looks towards Victoria when she spoke about a ‘bet’ and she gulped at that a bit. Because that was racking her brain. It caused her to sigh and finally figured out something to say, even though it’ll be a gamble nonetheless. Her mother Rebecca said, nothing ventured is nothing gained or something to that affect. ”Oh wonderful, a bet. I got something in store for you two, especially you Sir Godfrey.” Diana said, with a slight grin. She mostly looked directly at Luke for what she wants to do with him because she’s still a bit pissed off at what he said. However, she was blushing big time at what exactly Victoria had said. She couldn’t help but blink a bit and outright couldn’t help but give a counter challenge out of the blue. It was mostly because she couldn’t help to blush at what Victoria had said. ”The losers have to kiss each other on the lips and say ‘please’ don’t smack me Miss Diana.” Diana said. She couldn’t really help if this was a good counter challenge or not since this is the first time she ever ‘bet’ anything in her life.

Diana couldn’t help to sigh a bit because she more or less, agreed to what Victoria had gave as her challenge by giving hers. It was a definitely a risky maneuver mostly because its a whole new concept to her to try. She looked blankly at Luke with a bit of a worried look on her face, since she felt like she was a bit out of her league in terms of gambling. However, it only took her to forget her worry and chugged her mug of alcohol since it was better to see if your risk would come out on top. ”I’m going to win no matter what since I so want to smack Luke on the face for that insult to my height.” Diana thought to herself, deeply in the back of her head. It was pretty much obvious in her entire body language she was still seething at what Luke had said about her height.

She was pretty much oblivious to the plans of Victoria in terms of doing these bets. It didn’t help she wasn’t really truly prepared for this thing at all but she always wanted to drink alcohol since she saw how kind her mother was compared to the usual attitude of Rebecca. She was always impressed in how alcohol affects her mother, in a sense, it feels like Vastergoth blood mixed with Alcohol make them nicer. ”That’s an interesting thing that Victoria said to the waitress. I have a feeling that this is going to be a long day.” Diana thought to herself. It was pretty much obvious she was definitely enjoying the taste of alcohol and couldn’t help but feel great, even though this is her second mug of alcohol. Additionally, her thoughts were a bit more on the drinking competition over the stuff going on outside. However, in the back of her mind she thought of some of her other squad mates. ”I wonder how, Gwyn is doing? I always wonder why he looks away from me when I try to talk to him…” Diana thought to herself. She couldn’t help but laugh a bit at the reaction of Gwyn towards her mostly. However, she tried to look around the bar to see if she could see Gwyn, however, she puts her eyes back on what’s in front of her. All she wanted to do was more or less wave to him but he’s probably busy with things.

Stephanie is laying on her bed in her bedroom, thinking about many things. The primary thing that crossed her mind was the fact there was a massive weight lifted off her shoulders. It mainly included the fact she no longer had to deal with her parents, whom were tormented throughout her 16 years of existence. She was grateful to Asri for telling her of the prying gift of her mother, which was the necklace that pried on her inner thoughts. ”Ugh, I really hate my mother’s gift. At least I had a better dream than the usual ones I had been having. I have a feeling the Necklace had a specific enchantment placed on it to cause one to have very graphic and vivid nightmares. But that could wait later. Since I am pretty much happier not knowing what that ’necklace’ does right now.” Stephanie said. She knew it was basically in the morning, since she slept peacefully through the night even though that necklace was still being strange, in showing ominous colors and things.

It was an exhilarating experience to realize the gift, which her father gave her is basically harmless. Even though it has an oddly strange side effect, which Ar’oa told her the day before. ”I should get out of my bedroom and get something to eat for breakfast… since Sarah says its an important part of your morning.” Stephanie said. She had a happier tone of voice, even though she wanted something to wake her up more completely. However, something stopped her a bit midpoint of her decision to get out of her bedroom, was the two weapons, which she brought with her. She couldn’t help but give them the long stare in terms of they are good for defensive purposes. ”Ugh, I should at least take one… if I want to ’train’ with one. Those two weapons are the reason for my torment by my parents...” Stephanie said, with a bit of eye roll.

She slowly walks up to one of her two weapons, which took a long and drawn mental note of the one she likes the least. They are both brutal weapons for brutal people, in how they constantly fight and make her feel like crap, however. If she tried to master one of them, she could be better prepared to face them if it came to it. Therefore, she chose to pick up the one she was forced to pick first, her mother’s namesake even though she disliked using the Firebrand Sword the most. It constantly exploded in her face and her mother would constantly laugh at her for it basically backfiring for her lack of wanting to learn the weapon. ”I wonder if anyone could make me a sword basically, which uses water elemental magic…” Stephanie said. She knew of Vilkas, however, she didn’t know if he would be able to craft her a weapon so soon after meeting. It would be pretty awkward and would probably put pressure on someone she just met. She put the sword she hates the most and its seethe on her waist to wonder about anything. It was pretty obvious she didn’t want to keep both of the weapons on her like how she came here since both were a bit much for her to wield since she isn’t that good at dual wielding weapons

Stephanie finally walked out of her cabin, which is in her bedroom since it was a beautiful rendition of the flower fields next to her hometown. It made her cry happy tears a bit seeing the violas. She was always happy seeing the purple flowers, which is her middle name and to a greater extent her evil mother’s middle name too. She finally made it to the door to the Sanctuary proper, and opened it and walked out of her room with a gentle smile on her face. This place is one thing, it was definitely amazing place. She walked towards the mess hall, which was definitely a thing since she definitely need to eat something after all. It was obvious since she’s only 16 years old. ”Wow… this place is a very nice place to stay if they always have that smell coming from the mess hall.” Stephanie thought to herself, while still walking to the mess hall.

She entered the mess hall and went to the place where she collected her food before and noticed Vilkas chatting to another Resident of the Sanctuary. It was pretty much obvious she wanted to talk to other people since she always wanted to make friends. She slowly walks up with a small smile on her face. ”Hello, my name is Stephanie. Hey Vilkas, how are you doing today?” Stephanie asked, curiously to both of the people she asked that question to. Her first thing was towards the Resident, which she recognizes by the name of Voltaire but decided to introduce herself a bit more formally to him. However, the primary thought in her mind was her parents never really mentioning half-elves at all. It was a bit odd for her to remember since they had horrible things to say about Elves in general, however. She wasn’t much of a person to repeat her parents cruelty in their words, since she wants to be highly friendly to all. It’s mostly because of her outright dislike of fighting for fighting sake alike her parents Rita and Derrick did enjoy so much.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – The Drinking Duel – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 10th)

---

Diana had a dreadful look on her face, when Victoria spoke in detail about what she faced in terms of that armored car. It made her specifically shiver in fear and was looking down from what Victoria had said. ”I-I am sorry… Should’ve been more responsible in what I do… That’s terrifying. You are probably right…” Diana said, with a slight fearful tone in her voice. She shakes her head a bit and couldn’t really give a feeling that she outright done it again alike on the Hill 58. Just in a more severe way of putting her foot in her mouth.

Afterwards, she heard Luke apologize and all she could do was giggle at it. This was the first time she got caught someone off guard, which was funny to her. ”I have to agree there, Luke.” Diana said, with a smirk on her face. Hearing what Luke said made her a bit more less afraid of what Victoria said previously. It was pretty easy in her body language she was definitely afraid of that mechanical monster, which the Imperials use. She started to relax a bit and was still messing with her hair a bit since she outright dislikes her hair in that situation.

Diana couldn’t help but feel like Luke was starring at her and looked at him for a second. What came out of his mouth, however, pissed her off much. It was definitely something you shouldn’t say to her since it triggers her a bit. Her entire body language changed from fear to outright anger, her fists were shaking, it was a definite good thing she sat down her drink. ”Small!? Don’t call me Small you asshole… The nerve of you after you apologized too. What the hell.” Diana said with a definite movement in her body of wanting to hit Luke in the face pretty hard. However, she remembered the rules of no violence in this Inn. She sighed a bit and couldn’t help the lack of tack of a fool. ”I guess I should beat you in a different way. But mark my words Sir Godfrey, I will fucking hurt you for calling me small.” Diana said, threatening Luke in a way that she’ll definitely beat him in this drinking competition. She wanted to hurt him via hitting him in his wound, however. It was pretty much obvious with how she was shaking in anger. She was pretty much happy that the Inn Keeper took her ammo or it’ll be a pain in the ass to hit anything with her rifle. It took awhile for her to calm down a bit.

She laughed a bit when she heard Victoria declaration of beating them in a drinking competition. Her mind, however, made note of Victoria’s declaration of beating her own mother in a drinking competition. However, it was mostly to cover up the fact she’s a bit fearful of what Victoria had said earlier. Since that graphic detail was a bit dreadful and made her a bit fearful. She’s still a bit afraid of whom Victoria is but at least she’s now apart of the squad at least. It was definitely a nice thing in that. However, she heard Luke say that in response to what she spoke to him. ”My mother Rebecca gets kinder the more drunk she gets. It’s a bit terrifying, she is incredibly mean as fuck when she’s sober. Since I saw that first hand when I was 12 years old. My older sisters got beaten by mother really hard since they were being mean to me.” Diana responded to Luke. It was a long drawn out response but she doesn’t like seeing her mother Rebecca sober anymore because she’s a pretty overprotective mother when sober.

Diana couldn’t help to laugh for a bit with what she saw Luke as after Emily Pavol, gave them the drinks to keep on drinking. She was laughing at it. ”Aww, so cute Luke, you are blushing.” Diana said. It was obvious she was lightheartedly jabbing him back for calling her small by noticing him blushing. She laughed more when he spilled beer on his pants, it was hilarious. ”Methinks you are a bit too drunk to continue, Luke.” Diana said with a smirk on her face. It was pretty much obvious she was taking joy at Luke’s expense since she needed it after waking up during Fog, her older sister Astra’s favorite type of weather. She rolled her eyes at the fact he’s going to drink them under the table, however, she doesn’t know how much her Vastergoth Blood could handle drinking alcohol one after another. ”You are on Luke!” Diana exclaimed, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

She drank her mug down, with a bit more enthusiasm than before since she was in a drinking competition with two of her squad mates. It’s always better to be a winner than a loser in something like this. It was pretty much interesting to finally drink the sweet relief of something you wanted to try for so long, it took you to be in a war situation to do it. She’s gained much confidence while drinking that is. ”Yeah same goes for me, you are definitely a great guy, Old man.” Diana said, with a smile on her face. She never really asked how many drinks her mother could handle before she passes out, however. There’s probably adrenaline mixed in there since her mother does get into tons of bar fights and is constantly on the Newspaper. In the back of her mind, she remembers seeing a newspaper title with ‘Rebecca had too much to drink and beat twenty guys in a bar fight.’ This caused her a bit of worry for her mother but she had to focus on what is in front of her, which was Victoria and Luke’s defeat. However, she doesn’t really know how much Victoria can handle. She remembered that Luke beat an Imperial and drank him under the table, however, she hoped that this competition will finally get him under the table. ”I think the only people in our squad that doesn’t drink is Jean for personal reasons and Michael for religious reasons… I wonder what’s going on with Michael right now.” Diana thought to herself, in the back of her head. She hoped nothing weird was going on since she enjoyed the coupling of Lucia and Michael after all.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Getting Drunk – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 10th)

---

Diana was nursing her drink because of the fact, which her mind was elsewhere since she really dislikes fog. In the back of her mind was mostly about the fact her older sisters were unjustly cruel to her. She still remembers exactly what Astra said to her before, the conscription to the war. It caused her to look back on that day for awhile. ”I hate my memory being so focused on what Astra said to me.” Diana thought to herself, with a definite body language of not enjoying something. There is a reason to why she was being mean to Luke, it was an underlying hate that was bellowing deep within her towards her own older sister Astra. In terms, Luke was an easy target for her frustrations. It was a bit easy for her to outright throw Luke under a bus by something her older sister had said to her, which was eating her from inside. However, what he said about Darscens didn’t help, his situation in getting bashed by her in the feels.

It was a bit much for her to remember, however, this is the first time she was able to get something to lessen her bitterness towards her older sister Astra. The only thing that was kinda of nice was her older sister’s Susan’s outright apology to what she said when she was 11. In that case, she started to daydream of exactly that before the day, which she left to conscription train for EW1. It didn’t help she was completely unprepared for everything. ”Astra… why did you have to say that?” Diana thought to herself, with a look of utter loss in what’s going on. However, she was still drinking slowly and nursing it.

---

Daydream – Astra’s Wishes

This was about like two days before she had to go to the Conscription Training Camp, in Southern Edinburgh proper. Diana was called into Astra’s room by Astra herself, and she looked a bit annoyed at the whole situation. Astra had a smirk on her face, while looking at Diana who was going to be shipped off to a war that was have a high causality rate. ”Oh hello Diana, it’s nice of you to come in. I know I called you here.” Astra said with a tone in her voice. It had an odd tone to her as if she was grateful that she will never see Diana again. Astra had the window open, which was foggy that day. ”Oh nice, it’s foggy. Pretty damn thick fog too.” Astra said, with a gleeful smile.

Diana couldn’t tell why her sister called her in here but her chatting about fog and her tone of voice was a bit strange to her. ”Astra, what do you want? It’s nice you haven’t said I am worthless yet. You always greet me that way, what’s wrong are you alright?” Diana asked, a bit confused. It was very odd not hearing her sister’s catchphrase to her unless, it has something to do with their mother keeping an eye on Astra and Susan. Her older sister Susan, did say sorry about a day before her getting called to Astra’s room, which was a definitely nice to hear. In terms of what she did when she was exactly 11 years old.

Astra laughs at what her little sister had said specifically. It was a bit hilarious, however, she definitely enjoys fog, she always gets a boost of happiness when seeing it. ”There’s a reason why I like fog. It makes me feel enclosed and safe. It’s better to be around people when you cannot see anything. I have a feeling after today, something will change in that little mind of yours. However, there’s one person I absolutely hate being around...” Astra said, with a hint of whom that is. It was obvious who she was talking about certain things. She couldn’t help but hate the fact that Susan apologized for what she had said to Diana. ”Susan is so last century for apologizing to you. She wanted to apologize to you sooner but couldn’t figure out how to apologize. However, she did and that sickens me.” Astra said. She moved to her bed and sits on it and glares at Diana with a bit of an annoyed look to her.

Diana heard everything from what her older sister Astra had said, which made her a bit worried in why she’s being so mean yet again. ”Get to the damned point already, sister...” Diana said, with a hint of what her mother would say. It made her a bit shocked she already sounds like her mother even though, she’s not even that old. She shook her head and wanted to apologize but saw Astra’s body language of finally you realize it. ”Why aren’t you surprised?” Diana asked, a bit confused.

Astra laughs a bit happily towards her younger sister, Diana’s realization she sounds exactly like their mother Rebecca. However, the only thing that’s different is literally the fact Diana isn’t allowed to drink Alcohol. ”I have a wish Diana… this wish is very important to me. I hope you give me what I want since the only way I will be happy ever again is, if you die in EW1 and never return to bug the living shit out of me. Since I am about to be wed sooner or later. Fuck… why did I say that? Also you better not tell Rebecca I am going to get married or else, I will fucking kill you or haunt you for the rest of your life.” Astra said, with a definite threat towards her sister’s well being. She was definitely serious about the end part of that it seems like she was planning a wedding with someone that her mother Rebecca and possibly her father Gavin will hate.

Diana hadn’t thought this was possible, how come Susan can apologize but Astra goes off the deep end and wants her to die in EW1. However, what she had said at the end of that, gave her a big hint of whom she was going to marry. Why Astra was so secretive in everything, it shocked her to the core. ”Don’t tell me, you are planning to marry the people whom we have a feud for a straight 500 years. I will keep this secret, just because you are definitely serious in this bullshit.” Diana said, however, she couldn’t say the word of hate to her sister. It was mostly because she was hopeful she could reconcile with her sister. But the threat to her life definitely terrified her and there was probably a reason she picked a foggy day like today to tell her this. She hadn’t figured out the correct response to why she felt so shit. When her sister told her this specific thing.

”Wow… I think I need to stop calling you worthless for that specific assumption. Yes, I am marrying a Donster to get out of this poverty of wealth family and marrying into Wealth. Because I fucking hate Darscens… Darscens are a bane of my existence. They should go out in a field and be shot by Imperials. I have to say, Sister, If you do come back I won’t ever come back here to talk to you or even Reconcile with you because the Vastergoth Family are a lost cause.” Astra said, finally showing what she kept hidden for so long. It was the hate towards Darscens and why in the hell does she need to make friends with them. In that case, she shows the Yggdist Faith Necklace around her neck and smiles a bit all high and might about this arrangement.

Diana was utterly shocked to here specifically everything she had said. It now makes sense, in why Astra’s attitude changed for the worst. She was being brainwashed by the most hated family in Castleton, the Donster Family. ”B-But, sister we aren’t a lost cause… I am done here… I guess that’s why I overheard mother Rebecca, wondering where you were, since you never show up to work since you suppose to work at the Bakery. Astra… I hope you figure out what you are saying is wrong and stop this nonsense...” Diana said. It was the one thing to attack the belief systems of an entire family, which protected Darscens for 500 years only to betray it and join in a family that outright wants to destroy Darscens. It caused her to cry and run out of her sister’s room because it was too much for her to bare any longer.

---

Diana snapped out of her daydream, when none other than Luke boomed with For the Federation, in terms of him winning the drinking contest. However, she had tears going down her cheek, which was a bit normal for her to do. She constantly did cry all throughout her life. ”For the Federation.” Diana said with a bit of a smile on her face. She saw him fall on the floor and laughed at him. ”Have a nice fall?” Diana asked, curiously. She couldn’t help but jab at Luke since he’s always needed to have a laugh at his expense. She was still nursing her drink though, which was basically full like she was mainly holding it and looking at it.

It took her awhile and noticed Luke sitting at a table after his fall, which was a bit funny and blinked a bit at his question. ”I have a feeling, she’ll still drink you under the table… But you’ll probably give her a good run for her money. Like a 51% chance of beating her… before this drinking competition you had I gave you a 90% chance of losing against my mother.” Diana said with a slight smile on her face. Covering up the fact she was outright not enjoying the fact, she wants to tell her older sister Astra she hates her. For what she specifically said, about the entire belief structure of the Vastergoth Family and wanted to marry into money to get out of the middle class. She sat down at the table, which Luke sat down at and sighed a bit.

”I am sorry for what I said, but what you said, compounded me to say those mean things to you. But if you ever get out of line, I will smack that face of yours. Because of what you specifically said, reminded of my Elder Sister Astra, which grinds my gears. Having your entire belief structure destroyed by one of your own family members hurts a bit.” Diana said, sighing at getting this off her chest. In terms she was at a cross roads of so badly wanting to tell her older sister Astra she hates her for every single thing she had done to the Vastergoth’s name by shooting it in the face and laughing at it. It was definitely a hard pill for her to swallow, since because of the whole thing.

Diana saw Luke point at her and she sighs again. ”Yeah, I think that’s the best thing to do right now… is to drink my worries away and stop being so frustrated about what my sisters have done to me in the past and look into the future.” Diana said with an annoyed twinge at Luke in terms of what he said. It was obvious she was nursing her drink, however, she decided to stop doing the opposite of what her mother Rebecca would do. She moved her drink to Luke’s mug and toasted. ”Cheers, I guess? I hope we don’t run into anymore fog or my mood is going to be ruined...” Diana said, with a look of depressed feelings. She had a somewhat of a kinda happiness that drinking helped her unlock her feelings. It was a bit strange but her mother Rebecca is a bit more scarier sober than drunk. However, it’s only because she saw her mother drunk at home once, and that was on her sixteen birthday. It was pretty much a shocking thing to see. She had a gleeful smile on her face. ”Hey Ines, what’cha doing?” Diana asked, curiously a bit loudly in the general direction of Ines. She did notice Ines and Franz talking, but she couldn’t really tell what was being said, however. She looks around, however, she did remember that Jean went to his own room. It made her a bit worried for him since he was pretty fucked up, after all. She hoped he was alright because its a time to be a bit jovial than depressed. However, she wasn’t really taking her own advice since, she was depressed about what her older sister had said to her, in terms of her wish.

In terms of everything, she starts to cry a bit because she still deeply believes in the Vastergoth Family’s belief system. Remembering what her elder sister Astra specifically said about the entire family as they are a lost caused hurt her deeply in her soul. However, she remembered one thing, she was still wearing her blasted helmet. She sat down her drink and took off her helmet, which uncovered her beautiful blonde hair. Therefore, she got it out of the tight chignon hairstyle and put it into her favorite hairstyle, which is straight. ”This is like the 2nd time I forgot to take off my helmet… the first was when I was literally sleeping on the floor and now. I hate forgetting things.” Diana said, with a slight annoyed tone in her voice. She couldn’t help but enjoy the fact she’s back to how she enjoy wearing her hairstyle, even though it’ll have to go back to how it was when the fighting starts again. In the back of her head, she wanted to know what the masks were used for but that can be known for a later time. The fact of she wanted to get drunk was a bit more important to her to get rid of the feeling of hopelessness she felt in front of her sister Astra all those months ago.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Neutrality – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 10th)

---

In the moment, Diana woke up with a groan slightly in pain with how she was sleeping. It was followed by a yawn that was pretty cute since she hadn’t really recovered from the dream, which she had. She couldn’t help but silently cry while staring at her pendant necklace. ”Should’ve counted sheep in my dream instead of dreaming that day when Susie smacked me in my face...” Diana thought to herself with a sigh. She shrugged her shoulders and noticed everyone is awake and walking around preparing themselves. It took awhile but she put her pendant necklace back to where it was, hidden even though it was pretty nonetheless. She probably knew she required to clean her silver pendant sooner or later since the outside is definitely required to be clean. It took a bit to make her realize she slept with her helmet on, which made her annoyed slightly. She rolled her eyes and felt like it was Luke’s fault she forgot to take off her helmet.

It took her a bit to realize where her rifle was since she needed to check on it to see if it was okay from dropping it. She picked up her rifle and checked over it and couldn’t really tell if there was any damage to it. It was pretty obvious, she didn’t know how much punishment these weapons could take, which was a good thing she gained a melee weapon. ”I would love to have a bed since sleeping on the floor was a pain in my ass.” Diana thought to herself, with a slight annoyance in her facial features. She was a bit irritable mostly at the fact of her dream and the fact she tossed down her weapon for almost shooting her commanding officer, Jean. It made her definitely need a drink, which was a bit stronger than what she drank. This feeling of uneasiness made her a bit afraid of her humanity compared to the other people whom probably killed more than her right now.

She exerted herself by stretching a bit to make her feel not as much of the pain of sleeping on the hard floor. It was pretty much the only thing that she could think on while trying to figure out if there was some place to rest and relax in this ruined city. She felt like a wreck and couldn’t help but feel like going back to bed but want to do it in a bed instead of a floor like what happened. She took off her helmet and held it for a bit, only because she needed to do a simple thing. Her hand moved on her hair to feel it and she sighed since she needed a hair soaking since all Vastergoth girls hate when their hair feels like this. ”Ugh, I so need a bath or something to feel better.” Diana quietly said aloud. She put her helmet on with a bit of irritation of the situation at hand, which never passed her thoughts that soldiers had to deal with these conditions.

Diana walked around while having her weapon on her back. Her entire body showed that she was definitely not happy with the situation and was a bit irritable at how she slept mostly. In terms of her family, if they don’t get a good night sleep they are more of a pain in the ass. It shows like the night through her entire body language. However, a bit later, she was standing outside, which made her a bit depressed seeing fog. The one thing that made her a bit down when she sees it. The only weather type she enjoys seeing is snow, mostly because her plain creativity with it is a bit amazing to see. Fog, Rain and other things just make her a bit depressed. Her thoughts were given a selfsame look over until she heard Jean say good morning. She did notice his injury on his hand. ”It doesn’t feel like a good morning, Jean. That’s definitely a good thing, I didn’t want to sleep on the floor again since its not comfortable...” Diana said, with a slight depressive tone to her voice. The leaving of this place was the only thing that made her a bit happier than usual but she was still depressive mostly because of the Fog, it wasn’t one of her favorite weather types. Not being able to see in front of you isn’t a thing she likes, but most seafaring vessels don’t like fog either.

She follows her squad, which was behind Jean since they needed to find someplace to relax or find that is more or less, a bit better than a ruin to call home. It was pretty obvious, which she was keeping her head on a look out, however, she saw some signs. This confused her a bit, what the heck is a ’White Hart,’ additionally there was signs with Neutrality. Her eyes went wide when she specifically saw that word since her father Gavin spouts neutrality sometimes in dealing with the more ‘violent’ people in Castleton. Even though, her mother Rebecca would usually beat the living shit out of those violent people in Castleton since she’s a loose cannon sometimes. ”Neutrality in a war zone… is that even possible?” Diana asked, with a confused look on her face. She looked at Jean, which was giving the signal to kneel down and get into cover with a signal. It was a bit of a strange concept of neutrality in a war zone, which made her even more confused. However, she heard a voice that spoke to Jean specifically or really all of them since it said Fed. ”What… why is an Imperial doing here?” Diana thought to herself, in a bit of a shock.

Diana was a bit confused, in shock, and couldn’t really feel any ill will towards them by these imperials by how they were acting. It kinda reminded her of how her father speaks of Neutral places that no one should fight in, unless they break an unspoken rule. However, it turned out that her father’s wisdom was correct on the money about what the Imperial had said in response to Jean’s questions. This is definitely something she enjoys neutral and pretend you are at home, with your family. The one of the many things she remember her father told her, but kinda forgot about it since she was conscripted into this war by Edinburghian’s military. However, the thing that peaked her interest was what the Imperial had said about ‘beds and hot baths.’ ”I definitely need that… sleeping on a floor isn’t much of a great experience.” Diana said, a bit aloud and with a tone of relief. However, she heard Luke say something that made her a bit irked, she wasn’t have a good day or morning because of the fact it was foggy to hell and back.

She couldn’t help but follow her compatriots to the Inn in question. However, she wanted to say something to Luke. ”I have a feeling, my mother Rebecca would drink you under the table, Luke. But its nice to hear some good news for once. I am definitely going to enjoy myself here.” Diana said. She was following the others into the Inn, which made more sense now than whatever the other people had said. It was pretty much obvious she wanted to sigh, it took her to feel a bit irritable to feel a bit bad for outright ripping Luke’s heart out and trying to play with like a piano. She couldn’t help but laugh a bit for thinking about it that way, it was weird and strange. ”That’s a weird thought… Never thought it about that way.. I think it’s why my family are so strange compared to everyone else.” Diana said.

---

She noticed Luke, and some people were having a drinking competition, which kinda made her laugh at what’s going on. It took her only a second to sigh about what’s going on, because she has a feeling the bastard Luke, is going to actually ‘win’ the battle of drinking someone under the table. However, she did say, he wouldn’t be able to beat her mother in a drinking competition. ”Uh, that’s pretty interesting. Luke is a pretty ‘capable’ person after all. I think I shouldn’t have been so mean, I suppose.” Diana said, even doing the air quotes while saying capable. It was pretty much a hilarious thing to see if what she said would fuck with his game in beating the imperial at a Drinking game. Since no one would be able to beat her mother Rebecca in drinking.

In a sense, she was impressed about Luke’s tenacity but she walked towards the other side of the bar and sat down. She ordered herself a drink and didn’t really mind what’s going on. However, it was pretty obvious she was still depressed from the morning fog. Her drink got there, which was had a person tied to the drink. ”Thank you for the drink.” Diana said, with a smile on her face.

The person who brought Diana her drink was a twenty year old female civilian whom lives in the war torn city of Anome. She smiled beautifully towards her, as it seems like Diana needed someone to talk to because of what is going on. ”Why are you down dear? Also, no problem for the drink. It’s the only thing that keeps me by, my name is Maria by the way.” Maria said, with a worried smile on her face. She did hear what Diana said to the two that are in a drinking war, specifically one of her ‘comrades.’ ”I must ask a serious question, why did you say that? To the one called Luke.” Maria said, a bit confused.

Diana sighed at the specifically the first question. ”The fog is depressing. Nice name by the way, though.” Diana said, with a slight smile. She, however, heard the second question and laughs a bit. ”Because of reasons… I was kinda mean to him when he first showed up. He said something that pissed me off. Therefore, I said some really mean things to him. You could say he rubbed me the wrong way. I guess, I was ‘trying’ to apologize to him without actually apologizing to him. It’s pretty much a given I don’t really like people who are cruel to whom my family protects in my hometown.” Diana said, but quiet enough to only where Maria could hear her. She couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated specifically at these things. The past being dug up by her dreams, and she wanted to say a specific thing out loud for some odd reason.

Maria was a bit shocked in what she heard from Diana specifically and walked away. Because Diana was a bit weird of a Federation Soldier and it seems like every single soldier in the federation or imperials are a bit ‘weird’ or ‘strange. However, she decided to let someone else to give Diana some drinks.

She saw that Maria left and couldn’t help but sigh at what she specifically said. She chugged her drink down and outright sighed a bit loudly. ”Susan and Astra, my sisters are complete bitches. I hate them for being so mean to me when I was growing up. I wish they would stop being mean to me...” Diana said, a bit loudly. It was bothering her much its specifically a lot of compounding issues that was bugging her. However, she spoke it now and can’t take it back. It was pretty much a great thing to get off her chest.

A Imperial, female sharpshooter walked over to her and laughed at the silly little Edinburghian girl saying that out loud. “You are a bit funny you know that girl. Family is an important thing to never lose sight of. And saying you outright hate two of your family members is a bit odd. Didn’t your parents teach you manners?” She spoke with an unyielding nature of strong family bonds. She was fascinated with the sense of hate and vitriol coming from this one single girl, which chugged her drink a bit too quickly. She couldn’t help but giggle at that, however, she remembered a war that happened 500 years ago in Edinburgh. It’s pretty much a dead give away, whom this one specific girl was, the family who protects the dark hairs. “I might introduce myself, my name is Imelda. However, your specifics are very heart warming. I do hope you reconcile with your sisters. It’s always not that good to untie your bonds. They might turn around little girl.” Imelda said, with a tone of historical knowledge. It’s pretty fascinating nonetheless, it’s always good to know your enemies better than yourselves. In terms of what Imelda’s favorite pass time to do.

Diana heard everything from Imelda’s voice and it was shocking at what’s going on specifically. ”Wait… what does that mean exactly? Are you saying I should be nice to my sisters even though they aren’t nice to me or what?” Diana asked, with a confused look on her face. She could feel an uncharacteristic feeling from Imelda’s tone like, she knows everything of ‘her’ history and much more. Alike, the imperials know much of their enemies’ history but not caring about whom they have to conquer to get said resources.

Imelda laughs at her questions and couldn’t help but wanted to say something but the Imperials will be leaving soon. ”You’ll have to figure that out for yourself. At least you’ll be more knowledgeable about things and not show your hate to quickly. Knowledge is power, and the faster you learn that the likelihood of your survival in this world will go up instead of down, little Vastergoth, child. Your family’s hardheadedness is legendary you could say. I don’t really understand your family’s abandonment of wealth, it seems like that little detail in your history was stricken from the record.” Imelda said laughing at Diana. It was pretty simple in what Imelda was interested in, uncovering the truth but being a good soldier is also important too.

Diana looked at her and shocked to hear, hardheadedness and her last name from an Imperial, soldier. Who’s a sharpshooter, a sniper for the Imperial Army. This kinda shocked her a bit, however, she looked at Imelda and sighed. ”It would be better if you learned that yourself. The reason for my family’s reasons for being middle class.” Diana said, with a bit of a nerve struck. She couldn’t really like talking to this annoying imperial citizen, however, she wasn’t going to strike her since no violence is allowed in a neutral place. It was pretty obvious that Imelda knows who she is without even saying her name.

Imelda laughs again, and decides to go her separate way. ”I hope the next time we meet isn’t on the battlefield, Diana. I wonder… but I must go I do hope you have fun here with your friends.” Imelda said, with a bit of a tone in her voice. She walked off and decided to get prepared to leave with her commanding officer.

Diana shakes her head a bit since her feeling was correct when Imelda said her first name. It made her spine shiver by what she specifically said. She got another drink and drank it slowly since she needed to calm her nerves. After that long conversation with Imelda, which felt like it would take most of her willpower to stay in. However, now everyone in her squad now knows why she was crying in her sleep if they wondered about that. ”God damn it… this is annoying. Luke you better win, that drinking competition!” Diana exclaimed, with a bit of a cheering motion towards Luke. Her tone was an encouraging tone of voice instead of her usual tone.

However, something caught her eye specifically it was the female, which was taller than most people here that was Federation. It was nice to see another person who’s apart of the friendlies. She got up holding her drink, which she was drinking slowly. Even though she wanted to take a bath, she’ll let the other people do their thing first. She was the most polite of Squad 1, which she caught the name of the female in question and saw her talking to Jean. ”Nice to meet you Victoria.” Diana said, with a slight look of utter fear of what she said later. Even though she only understood smashed since its another saying for utterly destroyed. ”That sucks. I have a feeling we could use more people but its up to Jean.” Diana said, with a smile. She slowly cherishes this drink she was drinking, it’s pretty much amazing she’s not drunk yet.

In terms of certain things, she was definitely happy to meet another face. However, she was hopeful no one cared for her outburst about hating her sisters, besides that Imperial Lady, by the name of Imelda. It was strange to hear ‘family’ advice from an Imperial. ”Why do most people want to butt into your business? All I wanted was to hate my older sisters, since they deserve the same they dish out. They lost my respect, they need to earn it again.” Diana said with a tone of annoyance mostly. It was a self-filling prophecy in her mind, which she always wanted to say this to her sisters but never had enough courage to say it. Until she was away from them, it took being in a war far away from them to make her truly feel what they deserve and not what her mother tells her.

@Verticus The Character Sheet goes in the OOC first before it goes into the Character Tab. And I think the GM is still accepting people, @Ithradine. Might as well tag him to make sure. xD

Holly couldn’t help but continue to cry until she felt someone putting something on her, which was Ceci’s raincoat specifically. It was a very nice gesture from Ceci to help her to put on a raincoat, which she kinda forgot to get out of her inventory. She saw Ceci’s eyes as she wiped her tears from her eyes, which caused her to smile back at Ceci. It took her awhile to hear what Ceci had spoke to her about saving the tears. She enjoyed the chirpy and bright tone from Ceci, since it helped her relax and stop crying. The additional thing, which Ceci asked specifically made her giggle and nod at it. ”You’re right Ceci. It wouldn’t be a great idea to get lost… That sounds like the best option for us right now to get to town and sleep off the loss of a friend.” Holly responded to Ceci.

She felt Ceci take her hand, and giving it a comforting squeeze, which would be leading her towards the town. She felt a bit worried about the other members in the Last Genesis if they were around, however, she did hear Ceci’s sigh before, Ceci helped her calm down. She sighed a bit after because of the fact Zks, is always gone for being a rogue he disappears more than her father on a business trip. It’s mostly because her father specifically checks in while on said business trip and the super intensive trips require him not to give her any information. ”I wish he would stay with us and not vanish on us all the time Ceci.” Holly quietly whispered to Ceci, more or less referencing Zks’ behavior of vanishing. It made her mentally frustrated at that specifically, which caused her a bit of reminiscing about how she joined Last Genesis.

In the back of her mind, she was remembering the first time she met Karuu and all the others of Last Genesis. It was a definitely an interesting meeting in how she joined them. Even though she was distracted with other things, which is why she wasn’t in the first part of the dungeon. She couldn’t help but smile that she’s living with people who care and fighting their hardest for their freedoms. ”Even though I was scared out of my mind… everyone of Last Genesis helped me in every single way possible. Wish I wasn’t shy...” Holly thought to herself in the back of her mind, it was definitely nice to remember the good over what bad had happened.

Holly was shocked when she heard specifically what Kira said to them via group chat. It was definitely a blow to her morale, which was pretty much signifying as she started to cry. She lost a single friend to this horrible game because of the creator holding them here as prisoners against their will. In the moment she couldn’t stop crying at what happened to one of her friends, their death. ”No it can’t be, Karuu was our Guild leader, he can’t be dead.” Holly said, with her body shaking. She was specifically in denial from what the Great Akumi had said since it was too much for her to handle.

In the case, she noticed Dubstepp, Ceci in front of her and decided to catch up with them by walking a bit quicker than she had been. She felt a bit awful for not noticing that Karuu was dead and it took Kira to see it. ”I hate this… more people dying in this game because of the creator.” Holly said, with a sliver of fear in her voice. However, she is a fan of most of her friends since they helped her the most in getting used to mmos in general. Karuu, helped her much too but it doesn’t help that he’s now dead. She wants to protect her other friends that are still alive especially Prome, the Tinker.

Holly couldn’t help to notice the group message sent by Kipper and it gave her a bit of a smile. She sighed a bit and opened up a menu and pulled up Kipper’s name.

”Kipper… you are funny you know that? I have to agree with you that its beautiful. Also I think Willow healed you with a spell to increase your health, so you’re not as dead, I guess?”

She couldn’t help but look through her ‘friends list’ and saw Karuu’s name no longer there. It gave her a bit of depression, to think about it since she was given hope with these people, she’s friends with. She hopes no more of them die since that would definitely give her even more depression. It just caused her to sigh and wished she was back at home and not in this horrible game but hindsight is 20/20 in some cases. ”This outright sucks… one of our friends died during that rain of death those goblins threw at us. I don’t want any more of them to die since they are the reason why I joined this game in the first place. And I don’t want to leave them until we beat this game.” Holly thought to herself, she couldn’t stop crying for what happened to Karuu.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Dreams – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 10th)

---

Diana was still tearing up at the whole situation being in a pretty bad situation. She held her pendant necklace in her left hand closed. It was a bit of a simple task of trying to get to sleep but she just couldn’t. Something was in the back of her mind that she couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless in this situation. ”What were the pressures did my mother Rebecca tell me? Something about peer, national and other type of pressures I think...” Diana thought to herself, with a bit of trying to remember what her mother told her. It bothered her that she felt like she forgot the specific other pressure that her mother tell her.

She felt like she was drifting into her sleep by the fact of she couldn’t keep her eyes opened. Therefore, she drifted to sleep, even though sleeping on the hard floor wasn’t a great place to sleep at the time. She missed a bed, however, the injured people were supposed to sleep on them. It was pretty much a common courtesy to follow certain things to the letter. That usually means orders or degrees by her mother specifically. She talked in her sleep by saying. “Mother I hope you aren’t mad at me.” Diana spoke in her sleep. After that specific what she said not loud enough for someone to hear if they weren’t walking by her.

---

A Simpler Time

This was a time when Diana was 11 years old, which had been pretty much spoiled big time by been given her new favorite thing in the world. The pendant necklace, which she wears around her neck because it has her mother and father’s pictures in it. It was a beautiful necklace and she was showing it off to her older sisters, Astra and Susan. Astra was only 15 years old and couldn’t help but gaff at the naivety of her younger sister Diana. Susan elbowed Astra in the most subtle way by stopping her from going out on Diana. ”Mommy and Daddy gave me this pretty necklace as a birthday present.” Diana said, cutely. She was so happy by this gift it matches her older sister’s necklaces, which have the same pictures in it.

Susan rolled her eyes at her the youngest of them and couldn’t help but laugh at Diana. ”Seriously? You are being more spoiled than us around your age. It’s kinda a pain in the ass you know that Diana.” Susan said, with a tone to her voice. She pulled off her pendant necklace from her neck and showed the material of it. It wasn’t silver like, Diana’s pendant necklace but it was copper. It kinda pissed Susan off that Diana got the silver necklace that she always wanted. ”You got what I wanted for so long, this family dynamic is bullshit. The Vastergoth Family gave up everything specifically for this middling existence.” Susan said, with a bit of venom to it. However, Susan has like 75% of her friends are Darscens and she vehemently defends them with all her soul because she’s a Vastergoth. It makes her wonder why Astra has no Darscen Friends, and only sticks with the other Edinburghians.

Diana didn’t quite understand what her older sister specifically meant on gave up everything. ”What do you mean, Susie?” Diana asked, curiously. However, she could hear the venom from her sister’s voice specifically towards her and the gift she got compared to hers. It wasn’t obvious in what her sister meant.

Susan smiled specifically when Diana said Susie, since she usually goes by that by her friends or enemies. Either or really works in that favor really, but she got up and smacked Diana’s face pretty hard for not understanding what she meant. ”It is pretty easy in what I mean, we gave up riches to be the alike everyone else in the Middle Class. Because of the fact we were tired of fighting the Donster Family. Even though it seems like they still haven’t stopped their vehement hate towards us for protecting their ‘targets’ the Darscens. I wonder if that family will ever change their ways for being pricks and being the butt of everyone’s joke.” Susan said a bit annoyed at Diana. It was the first time she hit one of her family and it felt a bit good for smacking spoiled little brat in the face. However, she eyed Astra in more or less a similar way. ”Astra, you also need to start making Darscen friends… or mother might yell at you again for hanging out with the wrong crowd.” Susan said with an orderly tone of voice.

Astra blinked and she knows Susan knows, that she’s been hanging out with the definitely the wrong crowd in Castleton. ”Alright, Alright.. I will try to get some Darscen friends… Because I am getting sick of being yelled at by Rebecca for that reason. Also, why did you smack Diana? And wait… what the Vastergoth Family used to be helluva rich?” Astra asked curiously. It made her a bit more understanding in why Susan smacked Diana in the face. However, all she did was laugh at Diana for being smacked by Susan. ”God damn… Diana you are worthless.” Astra said. This was going to be her new usual saying in saying hi or bye to her younger sister from now on.

Diana fell on her back because of how hard Susan smacked her on her face. It caused her to cry and tears started falling down her cheeks. She couldn’t handle the fact she was literally told that her family used to be rich but Rebecca sat her down and told her this specific thing already. However, in how Susan told her was a bit mean and cruel with how she said it. ”No, I am not worthless, Astra. Uhh, mommy already told me the reasons why we stopped being rich, Susie. I hope you learn the finer lessons mommy was telling us in why our family dynamic is how it is.” Diana said, with a pretty large red mark on her cheek. She couldn’t help but cry at the fact that Astra literally told her that she was worthless.

Susan blinked when she heard Astra and Diana speak. It caused her a bit of a headache, which was pretty much how she usually gets when people tell her something from Rebecca. She shrugged her shoulders and outright walked away from the conversation because she disliked hearing that her little sister was pretty smart. ”Diana… I hope you die in some forgotten war because fucking hell you are too smart for this family. Astra, I don’t believe you, have to prove to me that you actually meaning what you say. Because should I tell Rebecca about your crush?” Susan questioned to Astra but showing the vehement hate towards Diana.

Astra heard that and was shocked to hear that specific from Susan’s mouth that she wishes Diana would die in a war, which is forgotten. ”Damn… Susan do you have to be so cruel? And no I don’t want you to tell mother about my secret crush… it would piss her off immensely.” Astra said. Astra ran after Susan since she dislikes the fact, Susan is smarter than Diana but doesn’t understand the dynamics of this family at all. However, she dislikes the family dynamic too since the younger you are the more spoiled you become. The family dynamic in keeping you on the side of the parents is a pain in the ass, for Astra.

Diana was the reason for her naivety towards her large patriotic and her dream-like world of defeating the Federation’s enemies, the Imperials. However, it would get so much worse the older she is, but she didn’t know it at the time since it was much simpler times. But the outright vehement hate that Susan showed towards her made run to her room and cry herself to sleep in a comfy bed. It was pretty much the reason for bad relationship between her two older sisters. It showed that Susan & Astra was against Rebecca’s family ideals totally. Which was a pretty much the reasons why she dislikes why they are so mean to her. However, a year later the mean nature of her sisters would get worse from this single incident. Because she was even more spoiled on richness of happiness over richness of wealth. However, this specific thing showed a dynamic shift of her eldest sister Susan, she wasn’t as mean to her as Astra was. But she was still a bitch.

---

Diana was crying in her sleep, which was a bit more likely since having that dream of simpler times, when she was only 11 years old. It was the first time her eldest sister Susan ever hit her in the face, but it would be the last time too. She was grateful at that at least, it gave her a smile in her sleep even though they were still a bit mean to her. ”Susie and Astra, I will show you sisters. But I wonder who was Astra’s Secret Crush… all those years ago though.” Diana thought in her sleep, while gently breathing in and out while sleeping. Something would have to give to make her truly hate her sisters, even though she wished they weren’t as mean to her. But Astra, her elder sister was a cruel bitch lately, she meant it. In terms of specifically what Susan said but about a known war instead, with what Astra said to her.

She could hope her Astra and Susan’s relationship could get fixed but the likelihood of that is slim since she’s so far away from them in a battlefield she was conscripted for. However, in the back of her mind it was still curious in what that mask is for. ”I really hate not knowing. But why would the higher ups give us information? About that mask...” Diana thought to herself, in her sleep. It wouldn’t wake her up since she was sleeping soundly even though her back would probably be hurting in how she’s laying down.

Muv-Luv Victoria S. Thorstein

__________________________________________________________ Name | Victoria Silvia Thorstein __________________________________________________________ Gender | Female __________________________________________________________ Age | 20 __________________________________________________________ Nationality | American __________________________________________________________ Service | US Navy __________________________________________________________ Rank | 2nd Lieutenant __________________________________________________________ Experience | Veteran __________________________________________________________ Physical Profile __________________________________________________________ [+] • Height | 5’5” • Weight | 128 lbs • Build | Hourglass; Average • Hair Color | Blonde • Eye Color | Violet TSF __________________________________________________________ [+] • Type | F-18 Super Hornet • Role | Gun Sweeper • Loadout • 4x 36mm/120mm Assault Cannon (8×36mm and 2×120mm Magazines) • 2x CIWS-1B Close Combat Daggers

Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Victoria is pretty timid and hardly ever yells at anyone. It is mostly because of her older brother’s constant overstrung, short fuse personality that conflicted with her wanting to be friendly to everyone. It’s pretty obvious she’s highly confident in her abilities, since she comes from a family, which has tons of knowledge of USN doctrine. This includes USN TSF Doctrine, since they go hand in hand. However, she’s a bit afraid of telling people about how good she is at her abilities because people will probably think negatively of her. She understands that everyone is needed in their roles. Therefore, she dislikes close combat tactics since she’s an American. Her national pride of US is definitely evident but its only because of the fact it was shoved into her, by her entire family. She shows ignorance to the people whose countries that fell to the BETA, it isn’t a superior attitude she shows. Therefore, she shows pity towards the people who lost their home country. The humor she holds, is mostly at her own expense since she’s pretty much easily down on herself. It’s mostly because of how many fights her and her brother got into throughout her life. She’s pretty much competitive to a point as long as it doesn’t involve hurting others in the squadron. She’ll constantly put blame herself for every single thing that goes wrong in her life, which includes how rocky her relationship is with her brother. She trusts people to easily and needs attention from people that give her a relief from the outright feeling like she needs a pick me up. She gets highly focused within a TSF. She is more or less only competing with her elder brother Eric. Who is very anti-team focused, which sooner or later that will bite him in the ass literally. She will be going through tons of emotions whenever that happens since he’s been quite mean to her. But he is her older brother, which had an oddity to him that makes for a person to ask advice on. History ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Victoria was born on May 22, 1984 to a the Thorstein Family. They have a long standing history of being in the US Navy, specifically like on Aircraft Carriers. It was kinda easy to understand, where their daughter and eldest son would go to. Their eldest son Eric R. Thorstein, which had a very short temper and usually went off on any little detail that was wrong. It made the relationship between Victoria and him very heated in some cases. He usually called her slow and not up to snuff for an American TSF in the USN. It was pretty much a forgone conclusion that they would never really make up for the fact they had differing personalities. The only thing they could agree on throughout their life was the fact that the BETA needs to be eliminated off the face of the planet. In this case, all other negotiations that their parents tried to get the two to get along would usually fail in the son throwing a literal temper tantrum. Her parents names are Gregory L. Thorstein and Elise S. Thorstein to be specific. Her mother meant well and all but her son was too much like her husband and made a decision to try to keep her daughter from doing a similar thing. The Thorstein family was wealthy behind belief even though they acted poorer than they were. They were very charitable to the less fortunate via sending money to charities that required them. It was Elise’s pragmatism that was pretty much the charitable side of the family. However, Gregory enjoyed the charities much since he could give without being yelled at. The Thorstein family dynamic was splitting apart because the parents would allow Eric to do whatever he wanted. However, she would just be constantly reminded that the only reason why he gets away with it. It’s because of they are punishing her until she shows some backbone and shows her national pride. However, that all changed when her brother was accepted at the top of his class. For a position as a TSF pilot for the USS Enterprise, in one of the TSFs he really enjoyed. A melee combat variant of a US TSF. However, this made the family do a family photo, specifically to show their unity was still around. This was around Victoria’s tenth birthday, which her brother was 8 years older than her. This caused her to be yelled at throughout the trip to the photo place by her elder brother. After the picture was taken, her brother showed her something other than the rage he usually shows after his short fuse. It was specifically what she said that pissed him off, which is melee combat is a bit beneath her. This made him say the words that broke his sister’s confidence. It didn’t help that the parents allowed it to happen, but the father was a bit shocked at the fact of this outright blatant hatred coming out of their son’s mouth. She went home in tears and went straight to bed, which from the onset of them interacting they were pretty much opposites. She didn’t know that her parents punished Eric to be ‘slightly’ nicer to her. They didn’t speak for along time afterwards, until it was her turn to join the United States Navy. It was mostly because her father was pushing her to join the US Navy over the Army. She was in training when she heard of the JFK Naval Garrison Base was attacked by the BETA and soon wiped out. It made her worried about it, since the VMF-318 Black Knives were wiped out except for a single survivor. This specific thing shocked her a bit since she heard of a name of Dominic Anders being a great, and opposite of what her brother was. In terms of a highly kind individual that has a little sister. However, she never met him but she hoped she could meet his sister to see how she was like. She couldn’t help but feel like her brother’s anti-teamwork attitude will get him into trouble and cause his death sooner or later. However, she graduated second to the top of the class. She was the second best marksman of her peers, which felt a bit weird. She signed on whatever US Naval Force was recruiting, however, she was transferred to the 212th Tactical Armored Battalion. Because of her excellent skills as a Gun Sweeper role. She passed the 8 minutes, which shocked her to the core, more so outside of the cockpit than normal. However, she couldn’t help but reply out loud, “I need to tell my brother fuck you. I am not slow, if I was slow I would be dead you idiot.” She understands a great deal more than other people even though she’s much more comfortable with long-ranged combat alike a Gun Sweeper. It was going to be along road to free the Earth of the menace that is the BETA but she’ll be definitely going to enjoy the challenge. She doesn’t know about her brother’s attitude when she meets him again, but she learned much about his highly reckless behavior against the Beta and it’s quite lucky he hasn’t died yet. She knows one thing his luck will run out and he’ll get killed for his behavior. However, you can’t be too cautious around the BETA, so she’s aggressive enough. Extra ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ She carries with her is a family photo of Gregory, Elise, Eric and her all smiling in it. However, after and before the photo Eric specifically told Victoria how he felt about her and it caused her to be how she is. A complete wreck, and her father and mother didn’t stop him from yelling at her. It’s the major big event in her life that made her highly too trusting towards anyone that wanted to listen. She carries a 1/100th model of the USS Enterprise, which is a Carrier. It has 1/200th TSF models and some 1/300th helicopter models on its hull. It is highly detailed for a model carrier. It is usually put on the a table fully set up but if she needs to move she’ll usually put it all in a case to protect it.
