Talk:Mai's Counterattack
Heroes
Lilim, Alter Emperor (Icon/Savant/Hero-Warrior)
The Emperor is the most powerful mage on Lost Ground and the only ruler the Alter Empire has ever had. Two centuries ago, he fought through the various wars that founded the empire and as such has a martial ability unusual in reclusive and enigmatic archmages. Though not thought of as a particularly good strategist or commander, his specialty was personal combat against mages as powerful and enigmatic as himself. Within a few decades after the final war with the Merai, once it was proven that no other mage on Lost Ground could challenge him, he retreated into seclusion to manipulate the empire's social system from above whilst attempting to allay his boredom by exploring greater magical secrets. These days, he is the only one who remembers those times. Around the turn of the millennium, after quietly fostering a nascent ability for the empire to project itself into the starways, he suddenly emerged from seclusion and became active again.
Generally speaking, Lilim sees people as people but rather regards them as an artisan regards implements. Above all, he hates those who are weak or useless and has an abiding love for battle. Although he is male and tends to appear as a male teenager, he can move freely amongst a host of technomagic bodies and likely has a library's worth of deadly arcana awaiting the need to use them.
Kasaya Natsuki, High General of Lost Ground (Officer/Official-Tyranny?)
Kasaya Natsuki, High General of Lost Ground is the premiere figure and coordinator of Lost Ground's military forces. Her achievements during the Myrkliean War as well as the Emperor's favour has given her somewhat more control over Lost Ground's procurement process in the past few years, leading to better sensibilities in terms of weapons production. As the general above all other generals, she is almost certainly the most powerful person in the empire who is not a mage and probably one of the world's more diplomatic faces as a result.
Kasaya Kiriko, the Mercury Light (Officer-Ground-Air/Hero-Warrior)
The High General's protege is an incredibly talented but inexperienced teenager placed in command of the Mobile Armour Brigade. As much as her qualifications for command are suspect however, there are no doubts about her abilities in duel or battle. She pilots Concealed the Conclusion, a Godswar era armour and one of the two most powerful mecha in Lost Ground's arsenal.
Alyssa Aire Altrusia, Admiral of the Altrusia Fleet (Officer-Naval-Air/Hero-Rogue/Warrior?/Official?)
The second generation leader of the Altrusia Fleet which has wandered the stars in exile for many years in rejection of the Sternreich's anti-Newtype stance and not a little resentment of their homelands disenfranchising peace. The Altrusia Fleet has operated as mercenaries and pirates since. When her aunt died, Alyssa took over command and led her subordinates further east. Having lived the naval life for two decades, her experience is a valuable complement to the somewhat limited and narrow expertise of the Marduk girls. Neither the Atlanteans nor Lost Ground of course, have any real naval tradition in the present era.
Avonlea Montgomery, Masked Pilot (Hero-Warrior/Officer-Air/???)
The mysterious masked pilot of the Altrusia Fleet's providentially suspect Newtype-use mobile suit Kriemhild Gretchen. Nobody is quite sure of her origins though she is by far the most powerful Newtype in the fleet. Privately, Alyssa suspects she may be some kind of engineered or cloned supersoldier but she has her ear nonetheless and rumour is, she was the one who suggested Lost Ground as a destination.
Mana Mikuhatsu, Magical Idol (Official-Populist?Democracy?/Savant/Agent-Spy?/Officer?)
One of Lost Ground's many prodigal genius children better known offworld by her stage name Yaya-chan. She is a young but powerful mage whose magic works through being the center of attention and went overskies for exposure to bigger audiences. She has had concerts and scandals as far as Thetis but has gravitated back closer to home in the past two years, performing in Na-Speza, Sceptre and even before the Joy Peace UG Directory.
Karine (Agent-Spy/Official?/Savant?)
A female archmage spy currently on Myrkliea.
Rabble Rouser
We have a Demagogue in Myrkliea right now.
Asilis, Fuck Off My Planet (Agent-Assassin/Hero-Warrior?) Our way of telling you to fuck your hero off Lost Ground
Archmage (Officer/Savant-Arcana)
Don't have one of these as an actual hero at all. We have like thirty of them so it's kinda hopeless... Would also double as a Nazi dropper - throw fanservice Diamid Otome at anyone beating us on artifacts.
