Oh, right, Yeah. FBH wanted me to like, write down characters for UNASUR, NORPAC, and EU mecha teams to use for his Sphere/SRW Crossover. So, yeah.

Experimental Mecha Development Team (UNASUR)

Formed in 2192 by the Brazilian Federal Navy's Office of Naval Research on Sao Galvao, the Experimental Mecha Development Team was formed under the orders of Almirante Juan Rico with the directive to test and develop new Combat Frame technologies for use in the 23rd Century, to match the Zodiac Sarissa and successors. The team is led by the so-called Paladin of Rapture Michael Arbuela, and operates the most cutting edge Combat Frames in UNASUR.

Major Michael Arbuela, Brazilian Federal Navy Born in the slum of Luisaville on the outskirts of Sao Galvao in 2164, Michael Arbuela came from a poor, broken home. Despite an abusive father, abusive mother, and an older brother who could be described as a petty-yet-brutal criminal, Michael managed to mature into a pious and patriotic young man, mostly due to the fact that he spent more time at the local church and the church-run school than he did at home. Climbing up from the slums of his birth, Michael received a scholarship, going to an engineering university on earth and earning a degree in humanoid mechanical engineering. Despite his degree, Michael was not destined for the private sector, and soon after getting his degree in 2184, he was commissioned into the Brazilian Federal Navy in mid 2185, and assigned to the enigmatic Projeto Heráldico. As the development and testing of the first UNASUR combat frame continued, It was obvious that Michael was an obvious natural at piloting them in combat; so, as the first Squadron of Alce Combat Frames were deployed against ZCM-Supported Cordoban Peltasts, Michael himself was the head of the squadron. Michael saw action all along the Pacific Arm, and was confirmed to have atleast one confirmed shootdown of every model of Zodiac Combat Frame deployed in the theater, and shot down 4 Hopilites and atleast one Sarissa in the Battle of Rapture, Gaining the moniker "The Paladin of Rapture".Following the end of the war, Arbuela was assigned back to Sao Galvao, where he served as the head of the 1st Tactical Aerospace Squadron up until 2192, where he was given command of the EMDT. During the war, Michael worked closely with ONI-observer Julia Margrange. Infact, the pair reported fell in love, and have had a stable relationship to this day, though Michael has been hesitant to propose to her(Only, infact, doing so in December 2194, on Christmas Day), in fear of turning out like his father. Personality-wise, Michael is an extremely kind and gentle man, pious and noble. Extremely religious, Michael still attends mass in the very same church he used to escape his fractious home life. He is also known for sometimes being brash or hotheaded, though in measured amounts, always sure to keep control of himself and never get a member of his team hurt. One of Michael's oddest quirks is his adoption of some chivalric ideals, which has been tuned down by his Fiancée, and his extremely selfless and heroic nature. Due to his actions during the war, and his charming personality, Michael is generally seen as a propaganda coup for the government. The man himself, physically, is a mountain of a man, standing in at seven foot one, and weighing in at around 275 lbs, with black hair, dark eyes, and dark skin denoting african descent.
