Hyan-ae - South Korean clone pilot of the 5th Gen T-50 Golden Eagle, an all-black PAK-FA, and X-80 Interceptor Space Armor. Efficient in combat, but likes to be pampered and treated like a kid sister by Helen. Used as a scout and interceptor. Jokingly called the company mascot/thing that is fawned over by the repair staff.

Support Power: Infinite Eyes (+1 Recon, +2 Defense)

Reputation: The Killer Kid

 

Noir von Stahlberg (Catherine Tverskaya) - Pilot of the PAK-FA 5th Generation multi-role and X-72 Armors. A little on the screwy side, as she fancies herself a knight that fights for her queen, Helen. Tends towards the overdramatic and fights for glory. Takes the striker position in the squad.

Support Power: Strike (+3 all forward assault options, -1 all defensive options)

Reputation: The White Light

 

Shinobu Manabe - Japanese clone pilot of the F-111 Theater Engagement Armor, the GEAR Fortress-class Armor, and the X-91 Super-Heavy Space Armor. Works out constantly on both cardio and the weight machines, trying to get swole. She was a little pudgy before, but has started losing the weight. Normally shy and demure, but becomes very energetic and outgoing when talking about weight training or working out. Generally provides support fire for the squad.

Support Power: Long Range (+2 All Long Range options, +2 Recon)

 

Julia Miller - American, owner of Miller's 1st Girls School for Training and Development. Is very skilled at deprogramming and rebuilding minds. Provides missions for Helen. Apparently was in a competition with her college friends to see who could build the best Armor Training School and PMC Armor Squad between them. Usually coolly professional. Perfectly capable of being supportive of her daughter and being all motherly while ordering a sweeper team to strangle a man to death and clearing a room of hostiles.

 

Anne - Owner of UYPV Systems, and soon to be Mom of Helen. Knew Miller since their days at Yale. A brilliant engineer in her own right, she also has a personal interest in UYPV Global Security. Russian, and is an acquaintance of Putin (who is President of Russian, AGAIN). Usually calm and collected.

 

Sabrina - The Witch of UYPV. Head Researcher at only age 14, and makes the impossible, possible.

 

Major Smith - Retired Armor Pilot and now the trainer and coach for Helen and her squad. Fun-loving, brash, large and in charge. Swole as fuck, and acts like a big sister to all of the pilots.

 

The Mighty Flowers - group name for the Shinobu clones, who work in the cooking support staff. They think we don't eat enough healthy food and should pump more iron to get swole.

Notable Members: Sakura, Akisai, Lavender

 

The Colors - Noir clones who work as technicians and engineers, who think of Helen as someone who keeps pushing their armors to the limit. Parts of their memories and personalities have been supplemented by those of volunteers from UYPV Staff.

Notable Members: Lt. Aswad (maintenance chief), Petty Officer Nero, Chief Zenci, Petty Officer Kuroi

 

The Security - Hyun-ae clones who work as support security staff, who think of Helen as the ideal pilot since she doesn't break things. They also act as infantry support frequently, donning power armor and helping out on missions.

Notable Members: Seo-yuen, Rin

 

Sophia - An Artificial Human, produced by putting an AI into a human meatbody. May have originally been abused into compliance before she was BEFRIENDED by Helen. She doesn't want to fight, and so acts as Helen's secretary and personal aide. Looks up to Helen for saving her, both her local copy and the primary copy that was on the Moon.

 

Dacia (D-10) - Artificially created human, produced from the combined genomes of some of the world's greatest Aces. Very feminine looking, he is a unique male who has the Affinity to pilot Armors. He was very sheltered when growing up, with only his sister and robots for company. Now works as an assistant under Sophia.

 

Gabriel (G-21) - Artificially created human. Was part of a mothballed project to preserve the human genome and restart human civilization from the Moon after a nuclear war. She now works as an assistant under Sophia, and helps Helen shower under orders from Miller and Li.

 

Julia and Keyonna - twin sisters and armor pilots, on the active roster and part of B Team. Originally from Detroit, the emigrated to Corporate Station, but after being unable to find work, banded together with other discriminated against Earthers to form the Jetstreamers gang. Were horribly outclassed by Helen and Li, and were captured.

They each pilot the F-15E Strike Eagle Armor, upgraded with Space Alloy armor kits and Microwave Power Systems.

 

Lilly Martinez - Former hacker leader of the Jetstreamers gang. Surrendered when she realized that the Black Devil and the Phantom of Outer China were coming after her. She now serves as a secondary EW and information warfare specialist under Li. While Li fights on the frontlines, Martinez coordinates from an AWACs plane or from back on the ship.

 

Sam - Armor pilot of the A-10 Thunderbolt II Armor and former Boeing Armor Pilot. She is informal and easygoing, but can be very over-enthusiastic in battle, especially if she gets a chance to use her Avenger rotary cannons. Has admitted that she has a crush on Helen.

 

Margaret Wood - Armor pilot of a PAK-FA, best friend and former classmate of Helen, and fellow graduate of Miller’s School. She was working for Academi and Jonna (Miller’s old girlfriend) when they were tricked into attacked the family of the US President. Now works for Archetype under Helen.

 

Hanna Davis - Armor pilot of an A-4 Skyraider who served under Margaret, and came with her to Archetype. Sister of Susan Davis. Lots of experience with Marine tactics, and has fought alongside South American Union forces against the Northern Alliance in Brazil. Loves to dress in unusual clothes, and is just as melodramatic and odd as Noir. Is in love with Noir, and bunks with her.

 

Susan Davis - Armor pilot of an AMX-10 who served under Margaret, and came with her to Archetype. Sister of Hanna Davis. Has fought alongside freedom fighters in the chaotic regions of Central Asia and the ruined regions of Iran and Afghanistan. The normal one of the Davis sisters.

 

Emma, Sven, Laters - The Trio who pilot MiG-29's. Graduates of Hoshi Shinonono's Armor School. They were bullied and considered the weakest pilots in the school, and only given outdated equipment. After Helen and Li gave them some tips and combat training, they shot up to Number 3 at the school.

 

Jane & Megan - A pair of girls who pilot Su-27's. They were cocaine-crazed Armor Pilots of Colonel Nudist, a warlord in the Congo, who Helen helped to apprehend. They have been deprogrammed and cleaned up by Miller, but seem to be oddly lacking much personality.
