===You===
You are the combat pilots of the Trinity Revolutionary Army ship Hasan-i Sabbah (falsely flagged as the Star of Joliette, the Bushu Maru, the Mister Bushido and the Harry Gyan, among others). Due to certain circumstances the Hassan is rather undermanned with the pilots forming most of the command echelon.

Put a short character description on the talk page, along with what WWII or interwar tank is the spirit animal for your mobile suit. The setting will adjust (within reason) to enable your character concept.

===The Universal Federation===
The dominant government of human space, the grandiosely-named Universal Federation has existed in its current form for roughly a century; over this period it has ensured overall peace and good governance. Unfortunately this has came at a price; social pressures both official and unofficial have muted the natural human tendencies towards free action. And while the peace is undeniable, underneath the topline of good governance, the Universal Federation has long been captured by special interests and - relative to its population of billions - a handful of influential families.

The capital of the Universal Federation is built on the surface of Enki, the innermost planet of the Solar system. This cloud-shrouded orb of dense iron, nicknamed the Great Comet, is constantly surrounded by Blavatsky rifts; in the time of rebuilding after the end of the Heroic Age of Cosmic Exploration the cities erected to support rift travel became natural centers of commerce and then of governance.

Beyond the boundaries of the Universal Federation (or simply the Unifed) lie dozens of lesser states, mostly the grown-up descendants colonies established during the Heroic Age. Between and around these lie a myriad of statelets, islands in the sky, many of them being little more than city-states of a few hundred thousand souls. The Unifed does not lay claim to these - officially. Unofficially it has tied most of them into the web of hegemony and informal empire and only a few are truly outside of its ambit.

===The Nadean War===
Nadia was one of the worlds settled during the Heroic Age, millions of frontierists sleeping through the long trip thanks to chemically-induced hibernation and waking up on the water-covered world. And like most others the Crash brought this to an end, the ships slowing to a trickle until finally a solar system unified under the Unifed rebuilt the threadbare lines of rift navigation. Relatively advanced as exocolonies went, Nadia had a bit of a golden age after the arrival of the Unifed but over time this soured; almost a century of good relations collapsing into bitter political disputes and then war.

The Nadean War (or sometimes the Interstellar War) was the greatest war in the Unifed's history, shorter than the various unification conflicts of the previous century but of far higher intensity. Despite the on-paper disparity between Nadia and its ragged coalition of allies and the Unifed, for almost the entire war the latter fought with essentially one hand behind its back while Nadia eventually fought with the desperation of the condemned. In the end, Nadia surrendered and the Unifed's carefully-balanced house of cards wavered but did not fall.

This was three decades ago.

===Neo-Nadia===
The swift collapse of military resistance at Nadia that closed out the four-year Nadean War left significant elements of the Nadean military and the greater Atlantean Alliance at dispersed posts and many of these refused recall orders and vanished. Some were eventually run down as they fell into piracy but most of them retained military organization and set up resistance groups in the hazy edges of the charted skies.

For a decade, the Unifed fooled itself into thinking that these dead-enders had simply crashed their ships into some distant island and drunk themselves to death. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Nadia and its allies had established a number of supply dumps and assembly sites in the deep hinterlands, entirely unbeknownst to the Unifed. These were ransacked, their semi-automated factories disassembled and moved. And while the Unifed was busy with a series of minor crises that were in many cases the aftershocks of the war, bouncing off the far corners of the Unifed, the Neo-Nadians reorganized.

===Ramblings===
====Unifed Fleet====
For most of the past century, the Unifed's military was mostly a constabulary organization; the various warships that fought during the unification wars were never terribly suited to this and progressively phased out. The Unifed's deep sky fleet soon became populated by two main types of ships. These were system control ships and interface combat ships. The former were very large, combining the roles of mobile command posts and amphibious warfare ships while the latter were small ships designed for violet-sky operations. Only a relative handful of traditional 'warships' existed as of the Nadean War. It was this gap that allowed the Atlantean Alliance to fight the much larger Unifed on equal terms for much of the war.

====Genetic Engineering====
The Heroic Age of Cosmic Exploration saw many inspiring discoveries but one of the most impactful was the discovery of the Proteus Flower (which is not a flower at all but a pseudo-fungus). The Proteus Flower could be processed to generate a genetic modification tool far more powerful and reliable than the then-recently invented CRISPR/Cas-9 technique. It was in fact so powerful that it is generally viewed as a relic of the ancient Mulian civilization. In practice it ushered in a half-century of increasingly wild genetic tinkering; first in crops, then animals, and finally people. While none of the absolute worst case scenarios of armies of clone super-soldiers ruling over humanity came to pass, enough instances of going a bit too far happened to seriously tarnish the entire field and lead to the Unifed's long-standing control of the technology and techniques. Of course for the well-connected of the solar system this was a navigable inconvenience and many exocolonies also used the technologies outside the ambit of the Unifed.

==Roland Morgenstern==
[[File:Roland.jpeg|thumb|right|Roland]]

:Name: Roland Morgenstern
:Archetype: The Cometary Farmboy
:Player: SirLagginton

:Born to a family of farmers in the Moselle province close to the Empire-Premrose border, Roland grew up in an area that was still scarred by the war, where accidents from decades old landmines and digging up obsolescent magitek war automata was rare but not unheard of. This legacy of industrial violence would tragically flare up once more during the Shattered Javelin Incident, where a misdirected artillery salvo hit home on his village during a tense series of demonstrative military exercises by both the Empire and the Dual Monarchy, killing his parents and nearly two dozen others. At least, that was the official story.

:Now an orphan at twelve, Roland would bounce around at a series of state orphanages until he reached the age of majority and his conscription assessment revealed his extraordinary compatibility for magitek armors and directed him to the newly reopened Rosencruz Academy in the far north.

:Despite his tragic past, Roland is easygoing and good-natured, always willing to lend a helping hand to his peers. His distinctive silver hair is said to be a legacy of Old Lemuria before the coming of the Silver Dragon Comet, though few pay attention to such old superstitions these days.

==Olivia Tuominen==
"They made a monster and called her peace."

''':Name:''' Olivia Tuominen 
''':Archetype:''' The Four Murasame 
''':Player:''' Holle 
''':Appearance:''' Short, blue eyes, very pale skin and grey/silver-y hair due to stress of augmentation at Warlabs 

Olivia is a refugee from the border regions with Sirius who was vacuumed up by the Warlabs and turned into a cyborg, the stresses of the process leaving her visually changed and with seemingly bottomless hunger in addition to the pills she has to take daily. Nevertheless, she takes great pride in being the speartip of directed human evolution, a creation of human will rather than random chance. Actually shockingly loyal to the Director, given her circumstances.

Has a pet mouse, Aino, which she kept as part of an animal care program in the Warlabs to weed out certain specific personality types. (keeping them was not punished, but personally killing them after the program's conclusion was rewarded; those willing to do so got fast-tracked for intelligence service work)

She does not recall her family's faces, or what became of them before Imperial soldiers picked her up from the snow. Surely there must have been one, though?

'''Associates:'''

'''Magic Skills:'''
* Magic 3 (5 + 10 + 15)
** Energy Blasts 1 (3)
** Forcefields 1 (3)
** Healing 1 (3)
* Signature Spells:
** Pursuers (beams bending at sharp angles to hit dodging targets)
** Zombie Mode (uses forcefields to forcibly set broken bones/magitek armour limbs etc and overclocks the target at cost of self-damage)
** Mega Flare (compresses an explosion using a forcefield and throws it; relatively orthodox Explosion, but can be used as a shaped charge if needed)

'''Pilot Skills:'''

* Range Combat: 2 (2)
** Internal Weapons: 2 (1)
* Melee Combat: 2 (2)
* Special: 1 (1)

===XP===
Session 1: +4 XP
* Lesson: some of Olivia's comrades are far more innocent than she's used to (Sylphie in particular). She can only hope that they'll be able to keep that innocence.
* Spending: 3 XP - Healing 1
* Remaining: 1 XP
Session 2: +3 XP
* Lesson: Shield can be a perfectly good sword in a pinch. Might merit further study!
* Observation: Dual Monarchy has access to antediluvian magic and wants the unit gone bad enough to use it here.
* Remaining: 4 XP
Session 3: +5 XP for piloting, +1 XP dream lesson (to be activated later) (+1 XP normal lesson?)
* Battle Lesson: Whether someone's just really mad, a battle junkie, or some other reason, absolute lack of hesitation in attack can be its own superpower. And for herself - even if she's a magic specialist, she can't ignore the fundamentals.
* Dream Lesson: Combat is very rarely fair or something you can only do while you're in top shape. (carefully ignoring: that rather than speartip of directed human evolution, she's speartip of next-generation tool development)
* Remaining: 4 XP + 5 XP for piloting
* Spending: 3 XP for Magitek Piloting

==Roland Morgenstern==
[[File:Roland.jpeg|thumb|right|Roland]]

:Name: Roland Morgenstern
:Archetype: The Cometary Farmboy
:Player: SirLagginton

:Born to a family of farmers in the Moselle province close to the Empire-Premrose border, Roland grew up in an area that was still scarred by the war, where accidents from decades old landmines and digging up obsolescent magitek war automata was rare but not unheard of. This legacy of industrial violence would tragically flare up once more during the Shattered Javelin Incident, where a misdirected artillery salvo hit home on his village during a tense series of demonstrative military exercises by both the Empire and the Dual Monarchy, killing his parents and nearly two dozen others. At least, that was the official story.

:Now an orphan at twelve, Roland would bounce around at a series of state orphanages until he reached the age of majority and his conscription assessment revealed his extraordinary compatibility for magitek armors and directed him to the newly reopened Rosencruz Academy in the far north.

:Despite his tragic past, Roland is easygoing and good-natured, always willing to lend a helping hand to his peers. His distinctive silver hair is said to be a legacy of Old Lemuria before the coming of the Silver Dragon Comet, though few pay attention to such old superstitions these days.

*Session 1 4XP (+1): Roland learned that he needed to be prepared of the past affecting him in the most unexpected locations.
*Session 2 3XP (+1): Roland learned that sometimes, it's good to try out new things to see what you're good at. Even if that new thing is being forced into a duel to help a classmate.
*Session 3 5XP [Pilot](+1): Roland learned that tearing apart an enemy in close quarters combat is disturbingly satisfying. This is perhaps not the lesson he would've preferred to learn.
*Dream (+1): The reach of fate is long and merciless.
*Session 4 3XP [Pilot](+1): Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. Especially when faced with a hypertech killer ball and a SS-class biodragon.
*Session 5 2XP (+1): Roland really needs to brush up on his conversation topics for the next time he's conscripted for tea

''':Name:''' Olivia Tuominen 
''':Archetype:''' The Four Murasame 
''':Player:''' Holle 
''':Appearance:''' Short, blue eyes, very pale skin and grey/silver-y hair due to stress of augmentation at Warlabs 

Olivia is a refugee from the border regions with Sirius who was vacuumed up by the Warlabs and turned into a cyborg, the stresses of the process leaving her visually changed and with seemingly bottomless hunger in addition to the pills she has to take daily. Nevertheless, she takes great pride in being the speartip of directed human evolution, a creation of human will rather than random chance. Actually shockingly loyal to the Director, given her circumstances.

Has a pet mouse, Aino, which she kept as part of an animal care program in the Warlabs to weed out certain specific personality types. (keeping them was not punished, but personally killing them after the program's conclusion was rewarded; those willing to do so got fast-tracked for intelligence service work)

She does not recall her family's faces, or what became of them before Imperial soldiers picked her up from the snow. Surely there must have been one, though?

:Archetype: The Cometary Farmboy
:Player: SirLagginton

:Born to a family of farmers in the Moselle province close to the Empire-Premrose border, Roland grew up in an area that was still scarred by the war, where accidents from decades old landmines and digging up obsolescent magitek war automata was rare but not unheard of. This legacy of industrial violence would tragically flare up once more during the Shattered Javelin Incident, where a misdirected artillery salvo hit home on his village during a tense series of demonstrative military exercises by both the Empire and the Dual Monarchy, killing his parents and nearly two dozen others. At least, that was the official story.

:Now an orphan at twelve, Roland would bounce around at a series of state orphanages until he reached the age of majority and his conscription assessment revealed his extraordinary compatibility for magitek armors and directed him to the newly reopened Rosencruz Academy in the far north.

:Despite his tragic past, Roland is easygoing and good-natured, always willing to lend a helping hand to his peers. His distinctive silver hair is said to be a legacy of Old Lemuria before the coming of the Silver Dragon Comet, though few pay attention to such old superstitions these days.

*Session 1 4XP (+1): Roland learned that he needed to be prepared of the past affecting him in the most unexpected locations.
*Session 2 3XP (+1): Roland learned that sometimes, it's good to try out new things to see what you're good at. Even if that new thing is being forced into a duel to help a classmate.
*Session 3 5XP (+1): Roland learned that tearing apart an enemy in close quarters combat is disturbingly satisfying. This is perhaps not the lesson he would've preferred to learn.
*Dream (+1): The reach of fate is long and merciless.
*Session 4 3XP (+1): Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. Especially when faced with a hypertech killer ball and a SS-class biodragon.
*Session 5 2XP (+1): Roland really needs to brush up on his conversation topics for the next time he's conscripted for tea
*Session 6 3XP (+1): There are chickens more skittish than Spargapises and frankly the more Roland learns about the more esoteric magic the less he wants to do with it.

==Olivia Tuominen==
"They made a monster and called her peace."

''':Name:''' Olivia Tuominen 
''':Archetype:''' The Four Murasame 
''':Player:''' Holle 
''':Appearance:''' Short, blue eyes, very pale skin and grey/silver-y hair due to stress of augmentation at Warlabs 

Olivia is a refugee from the border regions with Sirius who was vacuumed up by the Warlabs and turned into a cyborg, the stresses of the process leaving her visually changed and with seemingly bottomless hunger in addition to the pills she has to take daily. Nevertheless, she takes great pride in being the speartip of directed human evolution, a creation of human will rather than random chance. Actually shockingly loyal to the Director, given her circumstances.

Has a pet mouse, Aino, which she kept as part of an animal care program in the Warlabs to weed out certain specific personality types. (keeping them was not punished, but personally killing them after the program's conclusion was rewarded; those willing to do so got fast-tracked for intelligence service work)

She does not recall her family's faces, or what became of them before Imperial soldiers picked her up from the snow. Surely there must have been one, though?

'''Associates:'''

* Magic 2 (5 + 10)
** Energy Blasts 1 (3)
** Forcefields 1 (3)

* Signature Spells:
** Pursuers (beams bending at sharp angles to hit dodging targets)

* Special:
** Magic: 3 (6; 1+2+3)

===XP===
Session 1: +4 XP
* Lesson: some of Olivia's comrades are far more innocent than she's used to (Sylphie in particular). She can only hope that they'll be able to keep that innocence.
* Spending: 3 XP - Healing 1
* Remaining: 1 XP
Session 2: +3 XP
* Lesson: Shield can be a perfectly good sword in a pinch. Might merit further study!
* Observation: Dual Monarchy has access to antediluvian magic and wants the unit gone bad enough to use it here.
* Remaining: 4 XP
* Spending: 3 XP - Knowledge 3
* Remaining: 1 XP
Session 3: +5 XP for piloting, +1 XP dream lesson (to be activated later)
* Battle Lesson: Whether someone's just really mad, a battle junkie, or some other reason, absolute lack of hesitation in attack can be its own superpower. And for herself - even if she's a magic specialist, she can't ignore the fundamentals.
* Dream Lesson: Combat is very rarely fair or something you can only do while you're in top shape. (carefully ignoring: that rather than speartip of directed human evolution, she's speartip of next-generation tool development)
* Remaining: 1 XP + 5 XP for piloting
* Spending: 3 XP for Magitek Piloting, 3 XP for Magitek Range Combat
* Remaining: 0 XP
Session 4: +3 XP for skills (+1 lesson?)
* Lesson: there's a lot more to Atlantis and the nobility than seems to exist in the records, and someone probably redacted that information intentionally! (also, she met a respectable senior in the field of forcefield use to learn from)
* Remaining: 3 XP (for skills)
Session 5: +2 XP for normal skills (+1 lesson?_
* Lesson: there is a lot more in life for her to experience that she had no idea about, but can rely on her (more socially-experienced) fellow squad members to help out with!
* Remaining: 5 XP (3 for skills, 2 for normal skills) (+2 lesson XP maybe?)
