Kate broke off as Miku landed, circling the airfield again before making her own landing. She jumped from the cockpit before the ladder was even in place, hitting the ground and walking quickly off to where Miku had parked. She pulled her helmet off as she walked, slinging it over her shoulder.
"Solid landing, you did a good job today. It was tough but we all did a hell of a good job."

After tightening the straps on her pack and rifle, Autumn pulled the jawbone out of its protective bag, gripping it tightly. The ten rows of ten battlemages with her did the same with varying looks of fear on their faces. It always amazed her that a single bone held enough power to protect them on their wild plunge through the atmosphere. The shield ahead of them that held the atmosphere inside of the ship turned translucent with a muted sizzle. After a silent count of three they began to run forward, hurling themselves out into open space.
Sound stopped and the formation fell towards the operation area below them. Autumn threw a shield out before hitting the atmosphere, feeling the jolt of the deceleration. The formation had spread out, making it harder for the defenders below to intercept them. Almost on cue the missiles started, hurtling upwards to meet them. The sky became a battlefield as streaks of fire met the missiles, detonating them before they could reach the battlemage formation.
The fire became more dense as they neared the ground and entered the range of the shorter range weapons. A nearby mages shield died and he took a piece of shrapnel in the chest. She edged close enough to the falling body to be able to use it for magic. As the power entered usable range she let out a starburst of fire that cleared the sky of projectiles. After another brief period of freefall she hit the ground without slowing, throwing up a fountain of dirt. The body of the luckless mage and the jawbone dissolved into piles of useless dust and her own shield failed.
She burst out of the crater in the direction of the objective. There'd been enough defenders killed in her fall to fuel a thermal lance that killed the tank ahead of her. Pausing to take a breath, she looked up at the sky to see a massive explosion that could have only been their ship, the Lucifers Mistress. Before the shock of that could reach her the bolt of light that had pierced the ship reached her and the world disappeared.
Autumn fell through a gate, hitting the ground with a roll and came up with her assault rifle shouldered. After a moment she lowered it.
"What in the hells?"

Atropos dashed forward in the dark, moving even before Hez started to fall. She caught the girl and eased her to the ground, carefully supporting her head and shoulders. She sat down on the floor afterwards, equally exhausted. Before the headache overwhelm her she pulled the blindfold from her pocket and tied it over her eyes again. She tucked the scissors back into a pocket and busied herself rewinding the thread back onto its spool.
"Well that was an entertaining challenge."

Even running AC4 on my rig fps was bad in the hangar. Gameplay was fine.
Need ground targets too. We do have the makings of an attack flight.
Kyla stepped up on the other side of Sage, shoulders relaxed with her arms by her sides.
doesn't look like this is going anywhere fast but I've added some more info to the first post.
OC Character and universe, not so OC art
Name:
Auntumn Fairly
Canon Information:
Age: 28 (527 including stasis periods)
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 68kg
Personality:
Slightly cool, but honest and (mostly)friendly.
Likes:
Crossword puzzles, baking, gardening
Dislikes:
Wasting time, dogs
Powers:
Magic, typically fire, fueled by nearby dead. Also quite proficient with bladed weapons and firearms.
Weaknesses:
Without any fuel for her magic, Autumn is restricted to basic weapons.
Character Bio:
Thousands of years in the future, the nature of life and death have been explored to a greater extent than they have now. The dead have become a substantial power source used to for cities, vehicles and weapons of war. Vast conflicts are fought between planets and solar systems, wars of attrition that only serve to make each side more powerful. The most feared on the battlefield are the Battlemages, soldiers with the ability to use the power within nearby dead to fuel destructive spells but are powerless without.
Autumn is an Airbourne Battlemage, leaping into combat from orbit into the heaviest of fighting. She once belonged to a free roaming mercenary ship half of a century old, lying in stasis until undertaking a job and returning to suspended animation when the work was done.

Kyla nodded, even smiling wryly at the food comment.
