Character Background:

William Loyola was born in a coastal town in Spain on April 26, 2027 to David and Ana Loyola. His life was pretty uneventful growing up in which he learned to fly small planes growing up as a hobby. Will is the oldest of 4 siblings, with two brothers John and David, and a sister Elisa, all his immediate family is still alive. His father David Sr. was also a pilot for the UN Spacy, but left after six years to raise a family. Growing up, Will had always been fascinated with the UN Spacy, and with VF's as his father had served, and a vast majority of his mother side had served as well. When Will was younger he had a hard time fitting in with some of his peers, as he always seemed spacy and kind of out there. Some of the insults he received were that he was abnormal. This was due to the fact that he had an overactive imagination and was kind of nerdy. He spent most of his time reading comic books and being himself, then trying to be fit in and act normal. However by the time he was 11, this kind of took a toll on his personality, and in time he became more introverted and shut off and began to just stick to himself, as to not risk being insulted. When he was 13 he obtained his pilots license. It was here he that he truly began to become comfortable with himself, and learn to trust in himself and his instincts. It allowed him to open up more, and began more to be happy go lucky. He found a place where he was happy, and he began to become the fly boy. Yet he was still serious, he did a good job alternating this with a goofy demeanor.

His home life was a bit more normal then his school career, as his family was always there for him, and supported him. Especially when he told his family that he wanted to become a test pilot.. But if there was one truth to his family upbringing was his sibling rivalry. Will loves his two brothers, but it took him 16 years to realize that. Will's brother John was born 10 and a half months after him, and his brother David Jr. a little over a year after that. So growing up with two brothers so close, they were always competing. Whether it was grades, who could run the fastest, who could write the best poem, and other competitions. There were also physical fights, but they weren't as frequent as the verbal arguments. However before Will finished high school, his brother David was injured in an accident. The accident was no where near fatal, and just resulted in David jr. breaking his leg. But the shock and fear Will had for his brothers life was just the wake up call Will needed as far as how much his brothers actually meant to him. Will had always cared for his brothers, and would always want to be there for them, but it was this incident that showed Will, that trough all the fight this is how he really felt.

So Will left to become a civilian test pilot on Eden, where many great test pilots had been before. But he felt something was missing, he enjoyed the flying, but he became envious of the military pilots, he always felt the military served a good purpose, and since it allowed him to continue to protect, and provided a higher calling, that of being a protector. So a year after he began as a test pilot he left to join the military and entered the Academy were he graduated as a pilot a few years later.

He was an active UN Spacy pilot when the Rally Cry occurred after the destruction of the M-15. He had by some luck or bad luck had just been transferred to a squad on the M-15 before its destruction. Though many around him were leaving in opposition of the UN, Will stayed. He was loyal to the military he had chosen to serve. It even garnered him insults, in the form of Loyal Loyola the trained dog. His primary reason for staying was the brutality he saw in a fellow squad member, who murdered their squad leader in cold blood, when the squad leader tried to have a civil discussion with the member attempting to convince him not to leave. Of course Will failed to consider the aggressive nature of the squad mate, but he saw it as the chaotic and uncontrolled nature of rebel factions. Furthermore, he made a promise to his squad leader, James Reed, who had become his mentor, who asked him with his last breath, to do him proud, and trust in his instincts, and to not make hasty decisions about what path to follow. But for Will this had helped him make up his mind. He would make his mentor proud, he would remain a UN Pilot, til the end.

Is this enough information or will you need more, Araruin?

==============PROFILE PORTION ==============
Character Name: Beowulf "Wolf"Masters
Character Age: 20
Gender: male
Birthplace: Vancouver, Canada
Religion: Christian
Hair Color: brown with a green stripe
Eye Color: right eye: brown, left: green
Height:2m
Weight: 81kg
Handedness: right

Distinguishing Features: eyes of two different colours and green stripe in hair

Family:Father: Col.(UNSM) Kellin Grell (55 apparent), Mother: Cmdr.(UNS) Lilian Masters (50) Half-sister: Lt. (UNSM) Victoria Masters (25)

Occupation: VF Pilot
Affiliation: UN Spacy
Rank: Cadet (unless GM says otherwise)

Character Interests: the Protoculture, Zentraedi history, flying (esp. variable fighters)

Hobbies: playing practical jokes/pranks, building VF models, watching/reading pre-spacewar science fiction TV shows, movies, anime, manga/comics, novels

Best Friend: Victoria Masters

Worst Enemy: While he has probabably mad a few enemies among people who were the butt of his jokes, Beowulf is his own worst enemy as he doesn’t think about the trouble he can get into of his practical jokes.

Turn Ons: intelligence, a sense of humour

Turn Offs:unwarrented arrogance, smokers, the music of Lynn Minmei

Worst Secret: he destroyed his father's collection of Minmei CD's

Character Goals:
**Two year Goal - not to be thrown out of Beginhill
**Five year Goal - to become the best VF pilot ever

Character Background:
Beowulf’s (Wolf to his friends) parents-Kellin Grell, a Zentran in the UNSM, and Lilian Masters, a doctor in the UNS-were introduced to each other, by mutual friends, when Victoria, Lilian's daughter from a previous relationship, was two years old. They married a couple of years later with Beowulf coming not long afterwards. Beowulf got his name because his father was interested in human mythology.

Due to their military careers, the family moved around allot and, oftentimes, the children only lived with one parent depending on the other's current assignment. Because of this, Victoria tended to be a little over-protective of Beowulf often coming to his rescue whenever he was bullied (somewhat embarrassing for a half-zentran to be rescued by a full human).

Beowulf started playing practical jokes as a way of getting back at bullies (those who picked on him as well as those who picked on others) without getting his sister involved and thus reducing the amount of trouble the two of them got into (her for being a dirty fighter and him because ‘being half-zentran means he’s stronger and tougher than full human children’). Still whenever one of his jokes backfired his sister was always there to lend a hand. He likes a good practical joke (even when it's on him) and, while he prefers to target bullies and arrogant people even his friends and family can be targets under the right conditions (April first, Halloween, or if he's challenged) these pranks are never as elaborate as the ones that he pulls on his favoured targets. He usually has a number of common 'tools' that he uses in his practical jokes stashed in his kit (various hair dyes, hot sauce or tobasco sauce, whipped cream, and shaving cream usually). Because he has gotten into trouble over his pranks (whenever he was caught), he usually avoids involving his friends to keep them out of trouble.

When his parents took him to his first airshow (was seven at the time) is when Beowulf’s fascination with variable fighters began. It was because of this fascination with VF's that he decided to join the military as they get to fly the newer, most advanced, and best variable fighters afterall (though it was his interest in the protocultures that made him decide on the UN Spacey).

Beowulf, when he isn't planning pranks (and sometimes when he is), can often be found reading up on the latest information/theories on the protocultures as he is curious about the people who created his parents races and hopes to someday meet a remnant of this ancient (and, perhaps, extinct, though he hopes not) race.

Beowulf is, generally, easygoing, friendly, and more than willing to laugh at his own expense. He also keeps a couple of pairs of coloured contact lenses (one brown the other green) which he uses (along with the some hair dye) whenever he feels like being less noticable (and to keep people guessing about his appearance).

Turn Offs: Know-It-Alls, and anyone who draws too much attention to themselves.

Character Background:
Alexandria Ulla-Atha was born to a human VF Pilot and a Meltran clone. Her father, Alexander Ramsey, meets her mother, Cagali Ulla-Atha, on leave on Eden. They were there until after the birth of their daughter. Then shortly after, they both were called back into active duty in deep space. Not knowing if they would ever return, left Alex with her grandfather Jeremiah Ramsey. He would be the only family she would ever know because her father would be killed in action and her mother is always away on duty.

While in highschool, Alex was constantly getting herself into trouble with her short temper. So Jeremiah introduced her to the Martial Arts and meditation, so she could learn to redirect her raw emotion. She could never totally get it under control but it did make things much better. After which, her educational years became so much easier.

Once Alexandria reached the age of eighteen, she enlisted into the military so she could see the universe and follow in her parents footsteps. Her grandfather was against it, her being his only relative left in this world, but knew it was in her blood, didnt stop her. The military life came easy for her because she was used to being alone. Alexandria went on to become a very good VF fighter pilot and graduated at the top of her class at the academy.

After a few patrol assignments with little to no action, she was ready for something else. Her Meltran blood was longing for something more and she decided to put in a request for transfer to duty in deep space.

While she waits for UN Spacy's response, Alex returns to Eden to visit her grandfather. She knows that he is all that is left of her family that she can visit. She also knows that this might be the last time she ever sees him for a while.

She was later assigned to the Grey Knights fighter group and assigned to protect a scientific post on a classified location. This is where she started feeling the pangs of humanity. Her life was empty and was feeling a longing in her heart that she didn’t know how to fill. While on assignment with the Knights, she and her unit was attacked by an unknown force and later was rescued by the Dragons. During their escape and ensuing battle, Alex was injured and was in a coma for about three or four days.

Following her time in recovery, she was assigned to the Golden Dragons as their Recon Pilot and assigned to the VF-19 Avalon. The unit’s Elint fighter and is her current assignment at the moment.

2nd Lt. Tamia "Mocha" Salas
Sexual Chocolate


Character Name: Tamia Salas

Gender: Female
Birthplace: Brazil (Earth)
Belief System: Undecided
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Sky Blue
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 125 lbs
Handedness: Right

Occupation: Fighter Pilot
Affiliation: UN Spacy
Rank:
Assignment: VFA-129 Golden Dragons

Family:
Father: Miguel Salas
Mother: Raquel Salas
Siblings: Only child
Closest Ally or Friend: Kara Rodriguez (Childhood best friend)
Worst Enemy or Rival: Richard Pome (Cadet Commander)

Personal Appearance: Tamia is a very exotic looking woman. Her female attributes are of that of a Brazillian sex icon you'd find in a naughty magazine. Her hair is snow white and her eyes are a rich sky blue. She has a milk chocolate complexion. Nuff said

Personality Discription: Innocent expression. Very kind hearted. Tamia tends to think of others before thinking of herself. She will often try to defuse conflicts between people by using innocent flirty charm or maybe a funny joke or somethin of that nature. But when she is behind the controls of a VF she is like a kid on a jungle gym and space is her playground. Tamia is very athletic and loves to do her Capoera exercizes. She could been see often performing it and people mostly guys would always stop and stare with awws at her and her curves. She'd be lying if she ever said that at one time or anothershe didn't utilize her attributes to get what she wanted.

Character Background: Tamia spent most of her life in Brazil where she was born. Her parents were civil service workers who worked for the UN Spacy so they got to travel alot. After she turned 15 she and her parents moved to Eden for new jobs and a fresh start. This was where she finished school and graduated.

Tamia was nominated Prom Queen of her school at the time and upon graduation joined the Commonwealth Naval Academy. Her friends were totally against her joining. They always thought she become a movie star or a super model. Though she did have the qualities and the makings of one she decided against it.

The school was hard but she continued to push through it giving it all she had. She wasn't the top of her class but she was the most popular because of her possitive attitude, innocent smile, and sexy alluring appearance which quickly made her a favorite among her peers and instructors... except for her Cadet Commander who for some strange reason hated the ground she stood on. He kept calling her a typical poster girl. Go figure...

She finally graduated and signed up for to the TF180 Battle Force as a fighter pilot for the Gator Squadron. In that squadron she flew various versions of the VF-11 to include the armored variant which was her personal favorite. It was during the battle that the Battle 15 was lost that changed alot of thing. Out of a squadron of 10 VF-11 Heavies she and XO were the only two survive. She lost contact with him as he joined another squadron. She became a relief pilot but wasn't offically assigned to another squadron.

During this laps of time she used to model for the UN Spacy in various commercial and became somewhat of a celebrity. But, dispite her beauty and what people saw of her, this wasn't what she wanted to be. She was a fighter and a survivor of a doomed squadron. She'd lost allot of friends during that war. Some died right beside her. One even throught his mech in the way of incoming missiles that Salas didn't see and sacrificed his life for her. It was a memory like this that made her decide against accepting the nomination for the Miss Macross Award. She still had a war to when and to turn a blind eye to it would have been a slap in the face to all those who faght along side her to include the one who sacrificed himself to protect her. 'Big Brother Richard' is what she called him when they served together. The Miss Macross Award was given to the runner up 'Rachel Tutsuyami'.

She continued being a relief pilot until she received a notice of the Golden Dragon accepting pilots. She immediately jumped on. It was time for her to settle down into a perminent squadron.

Height: 5 11"
Weight: 165 lbs.
Handedness: Right handed

Distinguishing Features: wears black clothes, his hair hangs infront of his eyes a little, and reaches back to about the middle of his neck. He also has a tattoo on his left arm, which is usually hidden by his shirt sleeve. It s a tattoo of a Sword with a rose wrapped carefully around it.

Family: Father- Michael McKnight (deceased), Mother- Elizabeth McKnight, Siblings- none

Occupation: VF pilot
Affiliation: UN Spacy
Rank: Cadet (unless SGM says otherwise)

Character Interests: Reading books, eating, Writing, and computers.

Hobbies: Writing, Reading, and Thinking.

Best Friend: Mark Cameron

Worst Enemy: Joshua Stevenson

Turn Ons: Working with or on computers, finding answers to questions he continuously asks himself,

Turn Offs: Not getting answers, over dramatized situations, non-collective thinking, not being on time to events.

Worst Secret: Cyril has fought Joshua once before. He lost, but no one else knows, not even Mark.

Character Goals:
**Two year Goal - To become at least an average VF pilot.
**Five year Goal - To have a reputation, good or bad.

Character Background:

Cyril is the only child of Michael McKnight and Elizabeth McKnight.

Cyril was an average boy, though his parents thought otherwise. Both his father and his mother claimed he was destined for great things. He grew up, keeping his grades high while dealing with others who weren t quite as lucky. He was a great writer then, and even now he maintains his ability to write whatever comes to mind.

He has few friends as close to him as Mark, and fewer enemies that get to him like Joshua. He does his est to stay calm, but sometimes emotions overtake and he can t control it any longer. And though his personality not dark, he s usually found wearing black as if mourning over a loss.

At the age of six was when his dream to become a VF pilot formed, the day he first laid eyes on one. He worked and worked throughout his years, hoping to have a shot at piloting such a magnificent machine. His father, a VF pilot himself, though not a very well known pilot, had encouraged Cyril to pursue anything he wanted. And so he did. His mother, though, was against it, but did not say anything, wanting the child to be happy. The years went by and slowly he grew a little closer to his goal, when it happened. When Cyril was 14, he and his mother received a message that Michael had perished in a battle. The death struck deep, nearly destroying Cyril s dream, but with the help of his friends and the hatred from his enemies, he continued on his current path, wanting nothing more than to live up to his father s expectations.

At the age of 17, he entered into the UN Spacy, completing the training and learning everything he needed. Still the death of his father plagues his thoughts, and leaving his mother alone made him hesitant. She insisted that he go, saying that it would be best to follow his dreams than stay to take care of her. Now he looks forward to what lies ahead of him, looking forward to it with a strange form of excitement.

Here I am.


Player: Cobalt



Character Name: Jacen Christopher Rush
Age: 24
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Planet of Origin: Eden
Height: 5'10
Weight: 173
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue
Handedness: Right

Physical Description / Distinguishing Marks: Jacen sports three tattoos. Around his left bicep and his right forearm, he has a tribal band tattoos. On his inner left forearm, he has a bladed cross and the words: Suffer No Guilt. He wears his hair slightly longer than regulation permits and has a sullen, angry air about him.

Disposition / Personality: He enlisted out of a sense of patriotism and, according to Oscar Wilde, "Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious". Quietly competent, subtly and overtly dangerous, Jacen is the best sort of soldier, a killer, sane as a rock. In recent months, due to his court martial and his disillusionment about Military Honor and Virtue, his patriotism has been replaced by a sullen acceptance of his fate and the status quo.

Affiliation: UN Spacy
Rank:

Family:

• Father: David Rush (age 52) – David is a mechanical engineer for the R&D department of Mitsuzuki Motors. He is a meticulous man and completely dedicated to his company.
  
• Mother: Selena Rush (age 43) – Selena is an unhappy homemaker and a serial cheater. She was somewhat discreet in her affairs and Jacen did not know that she was cheating on his father until he was in his late teens.
  
• Sibling(s):
  Delroy Rush (age 20) - Rush's younger brother, Delroy is in the engineering program at the local college.
  Jael Rush (age 16) – Jael is Jacen’s younger sister. Despite only being sixteen, Jael has an impressive list of sexual conquests, as she is following in their mother’s footsteps.
  
• Ex-Wife: Mai Rush (age 22) – Mai is Jacen’s ex-wife. She divorced him after the court martial. Mai was a lovely beauty of Thai descent and Jacen loved her dearly. She took their son with her during the divorce.
  
• Son: Jacob Rush (age 2) – Jacob is a precocious toddler with his father’s eyes.
  
• Ex-Sister-In-Law: Sua Chuan (age 22) – Sua is Jacen’s ex-sister-in-law. During the divorce proceedings, Jacen had an affair with her.
  
• Ex-Mother-In-Law: Sirikit Chuan (age 40) – Sirikit is Jacen’s ex-mother-in-law. During the months after his court martial, she convinced Mai to divorce Jacen. She never approved of Jacen and thought that he was bad for her daughter.

Romance

• Turn Ons: Jacen is partial to exotic girls of just about any persuasion. So long as they are unusually beautiful, he is on the scent. He does not ignore conventionally beautiful women but he does not like blondes, is partial to redheads, and enjoys breaking in innocent young women, the cuter and more naïve the better.
  
• Turn Offs: Jaded or world-weary, the air of experience or the party-girl mentality that means many stallions have been tied to the post. He does not like blondes but will do a blonde if no other options are available or willing at that time. Large or hairy women are a no go. Does not like men, no matter how girly.

Friendship

• Likes: Quiet moments and tranquility, the pleasure of a good book and soft music. Silences that don't need to be broken, easy camaraderie, Jacen is a quiet person and likes people that know how to be quiet.
  
• Dislikes: Loud music and club scenes, brash swagger and cocky idiocy, people that cannot leave a comfortable silence alone, lawyers (especially JAG lawyers), politicians, and brownnosers.
  
• Best Friend: Lemeil Robertson (age 24), a childhood friend that lasted through adulthood, a poet and an artist, a philosopher and a gentleman. They are a study in contrasts and proof that opposites complement each other.
  
• Worst Enemy: William Andrew Thorndike (age 64), the father of a man that was killed on a mission that Jacen commanded, William Thorndike pressured the JAG to pursue charges against Jacen and ensured that he was tried by court martial.

Worst Secret: In the months after his court martial and divorce, Jacen screwed his ex-mother-in-law during a chance encounter (details below).

Background / History: Jacen is a train-wreck.

He grew up in a fairly normal household, or so he thought. When he was sixteen, he came home from school early due to the stomach flu and he discovered his mother mid-tryst, with her ankles on some strange man’s shoulders, on the living room couch. He never sat on that couch again and his relationship with his mother never recovered. His parents did not divorce but they did not repair their marriage either.

It was cheaper for his father to keep his mother than to divorce her and have to pay alimony and child support. His mother continued her affairs and, in retaliation, his father acquired a mistress of his own, one of the girls from Jacen’s school. It was a poisonous atmosphere and Jacen’s grades suffered for it.

He moved out and enlisted in UN Spacy when he was seventeen.

Life was good for Jacen after he enlisted. He met a fabulous girl while in advanced training classes and was married to her by the time he graduated. He was happier than he had ever been in his whole life.

But trouble brewed beneath the surface.

His mother-in-law interfered in their marriage on a daily basis, telling her daughter that sex was not supposed to be ‘dirty’ or ‘degrading’ and interjected herself into their intimate life. After their son was born, she told them how to raise him. His mother-in-law accused him of being too friendly with his wife’s twin sister. Despite the interference, he and his wife were reasonably happy and he managed to loosen her up in the bedroom a bit, which was nice. However, he never became close with his in-laws.

His career was going well, though.

He excelled as a combat pilot and was promoted rapidly through the ranks as an elite aviator. Some would say too rapidly as it made him arrogant and cocky. His devil-may-care attitude cost him dearly.

During one mission, he led his flight into an ambush and lost ¾ of his unit before they managed to fight their way free. One of the men killed was the son of a powerful senator. That senator, the honorable William Andrew Thorndike, pressured the Judge Advocate General’s office to press charges against Jacen.

Jacen was found guilty of negligence by a jury of his peers and was penalized with a demotion, loss of his flight leader certification, and was grounded for sixth months, pending review by the Flight Surgeon. During those six months, his wife filed for divorce against him, saying he was no longer the man she married and that she could not live with him while he was sullen, angry, and withdrawn. He sensed his mother-in-law’s hand behind the sudden action and he was unable to reconcile with his wife, no matter what he did.

During the divorce proceedings, his court martial and the fact that he was under counceling was used to strip him of primary custody of their son. He retained visitation rights but only under supervision. Out of anger, he seduced his soon-to-be ex-wife’s twin sister and engaged in a months long affair with her. Their affair was magical and she was everything his wife was not, supportive, caring, and a real demon in bed.

Just as suddenly as their affair began, she called it off and he found himself back in court.

Their affair and copies of the sex videos they had made were used against him in court. Their divorce was not final and the videos proved infidelity on his part, which got his soon-to-be ex-wife a lot more alimony and earned him a disciplinary mark on his record for conduct unbecoming and officer. That was used to remove his visitation rights and Jacen knew that he had been set up.

His life spiraled out of control and he began drinking.

One night, he had a chance encounter with his ex-mother-in-law in a bar. She was there to celebrate a co-worker’s birthday and they were partying it up. Jacen lingered in the bar and paid the bartender to double-fortify her drinks. When she was too sloshed to recognize him, Jacen got closer and waited for their night to end.

She was waiting for a taxi and he made sure he got into the same taxi with her, offering to pay the fare if they could share it. She agreed, tight-fisted as always, and they left the bar together. He paid the driver to take them to a sleazy motel, where he thoroughly used her. He did to her all the things she told his wife to never do, all the things he had to beg and plead to do, all the things she never let her own husband do. He used her like a porn star, banging her straight through the night and into the morning. He left her there with an envelope containing $50, five pictures of her doing all the things she had never done before, and a note that she was the best whore he had ever boned and that she was bargain priced to boot.

It was petty and mean-spirited but he counted it as fair play after her daughters had conspired to steal his son.

He was on his way to losing everything when his best friend, Lemeil Robertson, staged an intervention and saved his life. He turned himself over to the UN Spacy Rehabilitation Center and got cleaned up. He completed the counseling sessions and fought to regain his flight status.

His record would forever be marred but he worked his way back into the cockpit. Two months after he regained his flight status, he received a transfer to the Golden Dragons. He could not be certain if it was the luck of the draw or if someone was trying to get him killed but he accepted the transfer, determined to do his duty.
