[OnyxReaper]

Name: Jūn Mǐn
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Physical Description:

Height: 5'6"​

Weight: 140lbs​

Build: Slim​

Physical Condition: Relatively frail and lacking in physical stamina.​

Faction: Shinigami Terra (Horse Caste)
Nationality: Italian

Backstory: The second son of a family of New Gaean immigrants, having travelled to Shinigami Terra to escape their debt. Though his family originally bore the name Moretti, they have changed it to a more localized surname in an attempt to blend in with the people of Shinigami Terra and become more accepted in the community. His father was a mechanic, and his mother a nurse, although they continued with there professions after moving, they remained in a lower social class, sometimes struggling to find work. In his younger years, Jūn lacked a focus in life, he found himself holed up in his room more often than he needed, keeping to himself due to a feeling that people found him offputting, content to live his life without an aim, a goal, whether short or long-term. His perception's changed when his older brother of two years, Li Min turned 18 years of age. He was quickly drafted into the Terran military. It was less than two months after he was drafted that his family received a letter. Li Min had been fatally wounded during a border patrol, attached to a mechanized infantry squad, they lacked the training nor hardware to fight back or escape when the area of the border they were patrolling came under assault by a mercenary company of unknown affiliation piloting knights.

Motivated by a combination of fear and anger, Jūn had found himself a goal, in the short-term at least. He would not allow himself to end up like his brother, he would not become a statistic, dragged into a conflict he had no desire to fight for a people he held no loyalty for. The boy had decided he would enlist in I.U.K.A, if he was in the academy before his 18th birthday, he would be exempt from the draft, he kept himself shut in his room, but rather than idly passing time, he devoted himself to study. Having talked his decision through with both his mother and father, they supported his goal and helped how they could, his mother made sure that the boy would pass the physical examination, whilst Jūn's father taught him all he could about mechanics, whilst much of it was not applicable particularly to knights, it still helped the boy set a foundation of knowledge that Jūn continued to build upon. Even with this, Jūn scraped his way through the I.U.K.A entrance exam, with only 4 months until he turned 18. 2 months later, he was on his way to the academy, having dodged the Terran draft.

Personality: Quiet and reserved, Jūn lacks the core of his social skills, often finding himself out of place due to an awkwardness that grips at him, whilst a cold individual externally, Jūn is still a passionate person, often losing himself in a fervour whenever he finally finds a goal or objective he wishes to accomplish. The boy is far less than fearless, with one of his driving core motivations being his desire to live, even if he is yet to be certain as to what he want's to live for.

Alright, I'll try and start making a character! Anything you'd like/don't want?

Alright, I'll try and start making a character! Anything you'd like/don't want?

Make whatever you like, obviously have them be a somewhat realistic person from a personality regard, no psycho killers that can only scream RIP AND TEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! etc.

Generally, a reason for why they wanted to go to I.U.K.A or a reason they need to attend to accomplish something they desire would be a good idea to ensure they have some motivation or a goal to chase/accomplish.

Other than that, knock yourself out.

If you have any questions, I'm always available.

Hmm...I'm thinking of making someone from the Shinigami Terra-- maybe from the slums. I'd imagine he'd be hot-blooded but would want to leave a mark on the world for the better. Maybe create a little group of his own who follow his worldviews. I'll probably make him both a mix of something you'd see in Gurren Lagann at times, but also a serious person, sorta like IBO if the situation calls for it-- the former mostly being a way to relieve stress from his companions and himself.

Underdogs are always fun to write.

By DapperKnight
Name: Ivanna Andersonn
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Faction:
-Minerva Society of Free Minds: A minor faction of researchers and developers who had came together in order to provide the brilliant and brave a place to test and work without the judgement of greater society, or being pressured by short minded politicians for results. Over 5000 individuals are now living within the Society's underground halls, hidden and secure from those who might wish to take what's rightfully theirs and theirs alone to use and sell at their leisure. As humans do, the Minerva Society had formed a small government with 3 different branches, the Bio-Labs, the Tech-Foundry and the Security Team. The Bio-Labs and the Tech-Foundry are both led by Head Researchers while the Security Team is led by a Captain, though all three have equal power throughout the Society. The Society has an interest in trying to establish trade and research connections with I.U.K.A in order to move to a more secure location, protected fro the other three major factions.
Nationality: Russian

Back-story:
Ivanna is the fifth child, and the only daughter of Ivan Andersonn and Tomoe Angdersonn. Ivanna was born in the M.S.F.M society, underground and isolated from the outside world. Being the youngest of her siblings and the only girl, Ivanna had to fight for her spot at the table. Like most children in the M.S.F.M, Ivanna attended the local tutoring facilities with dozens of other students, but unlike most other children, Ivanna under performed in many of her classes, with mostly below average score for most academic subjects. Despite the fact that her parents were supportive of her, she was often bullied by her peers for her "Surface brain". Eventually after one too many insults, she snapped and broke her bully's jaw. Unfortunately for her, security was nearby so they managed to detain her for physical assault, and sent her to work as a laborer in the Security Team.

The Captain at the time, Captain Vult, saw the security feed of Ivanna's attack, and thought that her aggression can refined into an excellent enforcer for his Team, and thus requested her parents to allow her to be trained and made into a trainee of the Security Team, as part of her disciplining of course. Her parents agreed to allow the Captain to enlist her after some convincing. During her time as a trainee, Ivanna discovered that she had a knack for mechanics, athletics and piloting, scoring above average in most of her skill test.

When it was time for the Security Team to send a trainee to the I.U.K.A academies, the Captain thought it would be best to send Ivanna, to give the promising girl a fresh start away from the M.S.F.M

Personality: Ivanna is a brash and aggressive personality, with a competitive nature due to the fact that her entire life she had to fight with her siblings for everything from food to toys combined with the fact that she was considered to be below average by M.S.F.M standards. Her time in the Security Team had taught her a strong sense of duty and responsibility however, so she has a rather professional attitude most of the time.

[OnyxReaper]

Name: Vanya Dietrich
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Physical Description:

Height: 6'2"​

Weight: 190lbs​

Build: Muscular/Slim​

Physical Condition: Athletic, Vanya has tight muscle that whilst not showy, is functional, he's fairly strong and is in quite good physical condition, however is nothing exceptional.​

Faction: Valkyria
Nationality: German/Russian

Back-story: Born of a Knight Household within Valkryian lands, the men and women of House Dietrich are a down to earth sort, whilst they trace there bloodline to a nobleman who lived within the German territories of the Holy Roman Empire. Notable throughout Valkyria for there stalwart service in protecting the country over dozens of generations, the lands they own are as prosperous as can be in the sand-blasted wastes that flood this world, the people there as happy as could be expected of them. The current head of the Dietrich household is Otto Dietrich, married to a woman formerly known as Olga Volkov, after losing his late wife some 20 years prior to the current day. Vanya's siblings are all older than himself, three brothers and a sister of a mother different than his own stand ahead of them in the succession for House Dietrich. Because of this difference, although Vanya's siblings are accepting of him, Vanya felt like he needed to be an exemplar of the Dietrich family in his early years, yet his own beliefs in nobility and honour seemed different to the older members of his family, whilst his siblings were as down to earth as his father, working amongst those that served their household when they had time to spare and talking, acting and laughing crudely, Vanya instead was prideful and reserved, whilst he is a kind boy, it is filtered through an air of haughty nobility that he can't help but put on, which has led to some distaste from both his equals and lessers.

Vanya's societal disconnect is none more evident than through his lifelong interactions with the son of a mechanic that lives on House Dietrich's lands, Nikkolaüs Bütler. Whilst the Bütler family were respected for the craft, having been gifted a number of Knight wrecks after they had provided there services tuning and repairing some of the Knight's owned by the Dietrich household that were relics of the family. Vanya never saw eye-to-eye with the families not-so prodigal son, the two of whom would clash at almost any opportunity due to both of their beliefs that they were the better person in the room and there habit for conflict, both harbouring inherently argumentative natures.

Because of this attitude, after a number of attempts from both his father and mother to alter his behaviour, he has been sent to I.U.K.A by his family to represent the Dietrich family, in the hopes that his exposure to other people and cultures will calm and loosen his attitude.

Personality: Haughty and uptight, Vanya Dietrich holds his honour, pride and personage in high regard, believing himself to be the right person for any task due to the prestige of his Valkyr House title. In truth, he is only rarely right in this regard, whilst he is studious, he is not naturally gifted with an affinity for any particular craft or subject, his previous academics having been propped up by his dogged determination to be the best he can be. This same belief makes Vanya seem cold and standoffish to those less inclined to hard work, yet this has left the boy a stressed individual, his fears of coming up short masked with arrogance and mock pride. In truth, he is a good person inherently, self-sacrificing and determined to a fault for any cause he deems good in his eyes, it requires some digging to get to this core of Vanya, the kind of digging that is likely to require the emotional equivalent of a blasting charge to get to.

 

[Yakov011001]

Name: Nikkolaüs Bütler

Age: 18
Gender: Male

Appearance:


Faction: Valkyria
Nationality: Russian/Japanese

Backstory: Raised in Svartalheim by his father Ivanko Bütler, Nikkolaüs learned quickly why Svartalheim was known as 'The Valley of Steel'. Ivanko was a mechanic of high prowess among the Valkyrian Knights, despite not being a Valkyr himself. Fancying himself as a sort of mechanic himself, Nikkolaüs convinced his father to let him observe his work and learned about the internal structure of Knights and their operations. Through this he came to idolize the concept of such an impressive and valourous cause, to protect his people. It was only when he was eight-years -old that he was finally able to fully immerse himself in his study, when his father was gifted a scrapped Shinobi Knight by the House of Dietrich; one they had recovered after a battle with the Shinigami Terra. Right, House Dietrich; the bane of his existence, the antithesis of his shoddy, run-down workshop. He would be better than those who towered over him, he vowed. None made him livid more so than that stuck-up prick Vanya Dietrich. Over the course of a decade, with the aid of his father, he would be able to reverse engineer and recreate this Knight as a personal treasure by the code name Terravolt Epsilon Suit (TES). Now, a fully grown adult, Nikkolaüs decides that he wants to become a Valkyr; however, with the distinctly high standards that the Valkyr to be held to Nikkolaüs wouldn't've stood a chance having not been born into a house like the oh so high and mighty Vanya Dietrech. So to distinguish himself and achieve his dreams, Nikkolaüs has resolved to enrolling with the I.U.K.A. Academy. Now, he shall climb the ranks; his strength and resolve given form through cold steel and Divinity.

Personality: Nikkolaüs' intellectual prowess has become a real problem socially, as while he does indeed carry respect for his peers and those he interacts with regularly, he fails regularly to appropriately respond to authority figures. This is also reflective of his head-fast and impatient nature, for he focuses so much on the 'can I?' that he never really gets around to the 'should I?'.
"Don't misunderstand me when I say this, good sir: I don't think I'm better than you; I know I'm better than you."

[Celestial Speck]

Name:

Nimai Lucas.

Age: (15-19)

17
(But manliness doesn't have an age!)

Gender:

A true man, through and through!

Faction:

Shinigami Terra, as much as he hates to admit it! He was of the Horse Caste, but he sure as hell doesn't like hearing about it, or the 'Caste' system in general. (Seriously, how did humans de-progress or whatever you say it into using systems like that again?!)

Nationality:

Half-Brazilian, Half-Japanese.

Back-story:

The world's a piece of shit right now.

...Okay, maybe that's too much of a pessimistic thought. The world kinda sucks right now. Or, has been sucking for the last few centuries. Nimai has watched the world suck for several years of his relatively short life now. Born and raised in Shinigami Terra, Nimai's life, despite being one of poorness and lack of many resources, was a relatively 'happy' one. His parents, a man who once worked as a mechanic on the battlefield for broken 'Giant Robots' or 'Knights' or whatever they're called, and his mother, who worked in a small pastry. As a lone child, Nimai often had to share a bedroom with his parents due to the small space of their home. His father's work thankfully provided them with food and resources to survive, despite being a dangerous one. Nimai never saw the face of his father, at least personally. But he wishes he had.

A fatal wound on the battlefield. His father had lost an arm when trying to fix a Knight. He bled out and passed away shortly after.

The family of now two was devastated. Nimai's mother became less focused on her job, and started working less and less. Occasionally, she found it hard to focus on taking care of Nimai, but she never lost her way doing so. But, the depression of losing her husband soon hit her, causing her to be unable to work. Nimai spent a few years trying to do small jobs to try and take care of her, such as selling ice cream, cleaning up streets, or selling up scraps of metal and trash from the streets, all while having an irrational fear of the Knights, and an almost sort of 'phantom pain' that should, by all means, belong to his father, were he alive.

Yet, he didn't stop.

Trying to focus himself, Nimai soon realized that there were many in the world who had a fate similar to his own, if not worse. People who were poor, losing friends and family, all because of the greediness of mankind. Nimai soon had to become braver, become a true man if he wanted to hold up his father's legacy, and to get over his fear of those big pieces of moving junk. He would find people like him, wanting to change the world for the better in their own way.

But, baby steps first.

Nimai soon decided to enlist in I.U.K.A., to take care of his mom properly with money-- and to start his journey.



Personality:

Some may call him a dumbass, some may call him hot-blooded or maybe even a pervert in some situations. Nimai is an agitated kid who severely wishes to prove himself and often gets into trouble due to rushing in and trying things for himself first. Despite this, Namai has an extremely well able to learn, often hearing and listening to others who offer him genuine advice and building up his own skills on the foundations of such.

Despite his cocky or occasionally pissed off look, and sharp teeth, Nimai is one that is clearly supportive of others and doesn't take shit from those who are extremely cocky, passive-aggressive, or otherwise. He often tries to calm one's eases down if they're nervous, supporting them and offering occasionally cheesy advice. But despite Nimai's obvious hot bloodness, he's one that is quite wise and understands human emotion well.

He is one that will randomly yell at people to teach him, or join his crew, (that is TOTALLY not seen as a gang.) but despite this, he's a reliable dude to be around with.​

[Lofi Beats To Suffer To]

Name: Claire Ryan
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Physical Description:

Height: 5'5"​

Weight: 130lbs​

Build: Short, Skinny​

Physical Condition: Claire has a diminutive stature and is quite literally easily overlooked, additionally, her body is quite frail and she suffers from severe asthma.​

Faction: New Gaea
Nationality: Irish

Backstory: Having grown up in the town of Eynnyad, a village close to the borders of Shinigami Terra, Claire has become used to a life where the military are present in all things. Born to a family of proud New Gaean soldiers, the Ryan family tree could go back a half-dozen generations and be filled with nothing but officers of good repute. Both her father, mother and brother were such officers, whilst her parents are currently technically retired due to there age, they are technically still reserve members of the military and would almost certainly jump at the chance to fight again. Claire's brother, Conor is currently serving with the border garrison within the mountain pass between New Gaean and Shinigami Terran lands as a Captain, he has held the position for coming on 3 years now, being an example of a very young Captain, currently only 25 years of age.

Claire however has had a number of minor and major physical issues since birth, the most pressing of which is her Asthma, which cause attacks when exerting herself for very long physically and can also be brought on during sandstorms quite severely, due to this physical disadvantage, she could not qualify for the military when she was urged to enlist by her parents to the Military Cadet program stationed in her town at the age of 13. Since then, although they never said it, Claire has been aware of a fragment of her families disappointment and disdain. Suddenly, they had less time for her, seemingly busy whenever she entered a room they were in. The only thing they would talk about when she was around was her brother, speaking of how they missed him but how they understood that he was busy protecting the nation as they once did. They'd rattle on for hours if she was present about this, as if it was her fault that she couldn't serve.

In truth, Claire had wanted to serve and fight, she had been raised on the legends of her family and wanted to live up to them, losing the ability to do so hurt her dearly, however, what hurt more was the lack of support from her family at the news. After a year of this treatment, she had begun to seclude herself, she'd hide away from the world in her room and read, whilst she would distract herself with fiction, she often found herself falling back to reading old volumes on military history and tactics. They offered bittersweet memories. Of the attention she once had and the attention she had now lost.

Eventually, she stopped going to school, expecting her family to bust down her bedroom door, demanding she continue her education and not sulk. They never even knocked to check if she was alright after a week. After that, she ran away, snuck out of her room in the middle of the night and stayed with a friend of hers for a week, when she came back home through the front door, her family asked her if she had just went out to the shop, they hadn't even realised her absence.

The bitterness continued, when she was halfway through her 15th year on this planet, a friend of hers mentioned I.U.K.A to her. It lit a fire in her. She spent her every waking moment studying to enter the academy and, perhaps by some stroke of luck she was successful. Now she finds herself with a goal in mind, to rise up in I.U.K.A, not for her family name, nor for country. Just to show her damn parents she can.

Personality: Claire is outwardly abrasive, although she isn't what would be described as competitive, she will act out in an effort to get her way in the juvenile ways she can come up with. Claire isn't particularly levelheaded, intelligent and has very few things she actually excels in, which works it's way into a long-developed inferiority complex of hers that urges her to act out in an effort to prove she's good, important or even notable to the people around her. Claire is also rather energetic, which works against her when she gets particularly excited and finds herself coughing up a lung.
