Commander Calven Hobbes - November - by Wryte

Commander of the 195th Ace Squadron. He pilots the customized Quicksilver, Echo.

^Background Calven Hobbes was born and raised on Earth, on the North American continent's western seaboard. His parents were both workers in a munitions factory, and the family lived in the slums surrounding the plant, called "Union Valley." Every kid in Union Valley was in a gang, and Calven was no exception, running with the 4th Block Junkers. Calven would probably have lived his entire life in Union Valley, but a run of bad luck put an eighteen-year-old Calven in front of a tribunal on charges of manslaughter after a night of gang warfare left several teens dead. Given the choice between prison and the military, Calven joined the army. After basic training, Calven was put into the 61st Light Infantry and stationed on Aeris, a contested world in the Helios system. Calven fought the Centauris on Aeris as an infantryman of the 61st "Delivery Boys" for two years, achieving the rank of Sergeant by the end of his tour of duty. During this time, Hobbes was given the opportunity to pilot a decommissioned AMF while assisting in construction of a Federation outpost, and the experience resonated with him. After his tour ended, Hobbes enrolled in an AMF piloting academy and after two years, he joined the Federation's Space Navy as a frame pilot, eventually being promoted to Ace (which carried with it a promotion to Lieutenant), and recently to Commander. The 195th Squadron is Hobbes' first command as an Ace.

Lieutenant Jaedong Lee - Tyrant - neobowman

An ambitious Federation pilot looking to use the military as a springboard to power. He pilots the heavily modified Stalker, Swarm. Refers to himself as Lee Jaedong, in Korean name fashion.

^Backstory 5 years earlier: The youth's parents were constantly arguing. Fights were frequent, and the youth was injured more than once. Bruises were common. A bone was broken once before but it was handwaved at the hospital, his mother saying that it was a fall from the stairs. Each day, he tried to avoid the fighting with silence and drowning out their voices with music. Most of the times, it worked. His parents would fight on their own without involving him. Sometimes, it backfired. They would drag him into the argument and beatings would occasionally occur. Then the Centauri army came. The youth hid in his room. After hours of gunfire outside the window, there was finally silence. Thinking it was safe to leave his room, he went down the stairs and saw his parents in a pool of blood and a uniformed man with a gun in front of them. He looked middle-aged, with a buzzcut and a clean shaven face. He said, "Kid. I'm supposed to kill you, but I'm in a good mood today so I'll let you live. Hide, and the army will be gone within a day. The Federation's probably going to be intiating rescue missions here sometime soon. I bet you're going to want to kill me for what I did here. If you do, then you must have authority. Authority gets you far in life. The more people you have control of, the more power you have. Remember that." Saying that, the man left. The youth stood there in silence for what felt like an eternity. Then laughed the loudest he had ever laughed in his life. After the Centauri army an abandoned Centauri frame in the middle of the destroyed town, the youth learned the basics of making it move in a day. Hiding it into the forest nearby, he left it there and the Federation's rescue team arrived. Soon after, he joined the military to support himself, and requested to use his personal frame, which was the Confederate frame he had found and left in the forest. He quickly rose in the ranks and worked hard for one thing. To gain authority.

Lieutenant Rohiko Testbug - Callsign - neobowman

The new (actually sane) recruit

No tragic history or anything. Joined the military because of the money and eventual pension. Basically, it's just her job for that particular time in her life.

• Smug Snake
• This Cannot Be!: When James kills him.
• Third-Person Person
• You Have Failed Me

Delorelai vai Bizekbirg

• Axe-Crazy: Has been this way since childhood. She's unstable, but also a really good frame pilot. Better than Lorraine, in fact.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Really doesn't get why everyone is so crazy about this whole "life" thing.
• Misanthrope Supreme: Delorelai considers most life in general to be a blight upon the universe and disgusting as a whole. There are a few people—a very few—she likes. Mostly those who think the same.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Death and gore are things she is into. Like....really into.
• The Rival: An absolutely hate-fueled version of this with Lorraine. An exaggerated example, perhaps.

Utnapishtim Onaki

• Axe-Crazy: Might actually be worse than Delorelai in this regard.
• Gender-Blender Name: The Utnapishtim of Sumerian legend and myth was a man.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Considers herself an artist. Her medium is killing people.
• Meaningful Name: In-Universe example, as the project she is the sole survivor of was originally meant to create immortal soldiers. This was changed to a more realistic goal early on, but the names remained.
• Misanthrope Supreme: Cares about a few people, much like Delorelai. Hates humans in general though, and doesn't even consider herself one.
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: Does a deliberately disturbing version.
• Super-Soldier: Considers herself superior to humans.

Dr. Halsey Onaki

• Mad Scientist: Got kicked out of DeWitt? She'd have to be.
• Shout-Out: Does "Dr. Halsey" sound familiar?

Maximilien venne Bannikberg

Archduke of Ossetia and Head of the Bannikberg House, a stern nobleman and former frame pilot himself (who lead the first group of pilots to ever call itself The Bannikberg Regiment). Disapproves of Lorraine's choice of career, but has come to begrudgingly accept it.

• Blue Blood: Current Archduke of Ossetia.

Lorraine A.D. venne Bannikberg

Archduchess of Ossetia, something of a lovable kook.

• Cloudcuckoolander: Probably the straightest example that has shown up thus far.

Clovis venne Bannikberg

Heir to the Ossetian throne, Lorraine's older youngest brother.

• Odd Couple: In love with Alice, a housemaid at the Royal Palace.
• The Royals Who Actually Do Something: Very active in social work.

• Cheerful Child
• Genki Girl

Uno Knight Bartholomew Tolkien, Smaug

Hot-Blooded Captain of the Ossetian Royal Guard, claims to be a decendant of JRR Tolkien.

The Revolution Subplot Characters

Lenin Spacey

Large Ham wannabe revolutionary. Frequently quotes political hip-hop. Leader, Founder, and one of only a handful of members of The Centauri Confederate Communist Party

• Expy: More of a pastiche, really. But he does borrow heavily from both the real Lenin and other prominent Soviets as well as various political hip-hop figures like Chuck D, KRS-One and Micheal Franti. Of course, this is all exaggerated to comedic proportions.
• Large Ham: I will NEVER SURRENDER!!

Leo "Bro" Stein

The conspiracy theorist archetype taken to cartoonish extremes. Drinks nothing but coffee, as he believes all water to be laced with sedative drugs.

• Cloudcuckoolander: Majorly, but see below.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: It is suggested by Lenin that he might be doing this.

• Mauve Shirt

Jarit Delorean

Lorraine's deceased boyfriend and the son of Federation defectors, died in battle after being caught in the explosion of an enemy frame. His death was mourned throughout the Confederacy.

• Hot-Blooded: Essentially a deconstruction of the trope, as it got him killed.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Decidedly non-comedic example, as it cost him his life.
• Posthumous Character: Died an unspecified number of years before the game takes place.
