Crew Commander

Height: 5'8"
Hair: Short and blonde
Eyes: blue
Other: Several tattoos on arms and shoulders
Origin: Canadian, born and raised in Montreal.

Spoiler: Samantha

Sam joined the military right after high school. Her father had been a life long military officer in the Canadian Army, and she followed in his footsteps. She graduated from officer training and at first, she joined the RCA (Royal Canadian Artillery) as a forward observer. After the Twilight War began, she quickly re-mustered to the RCAC (Royal Canadian Armoured Corps). She worked her way up to troop commander (4 tank team) but following a tactical nuke strike on the troop's position only her tank survived. On paper she still commands a troop of tanks, but as of yet, no new replacement tanks have been available. Even replacement crews have been hard to come by, forcing tank commanders to take on whoever they can find to fill whatever role is needed.

Weapons: C8 Assault Rifle, C22 Pistol, Combat knife

Spoiler: Firearms

Standard issue combat coveralls, combat boots, field cap, tankers helmet with internal comms device.

[Cloudson97]

Name: Eris Riley
Tank Driver
Rank: E-4 Senior Airman
Age: 25
Height: 5'11"
Hair: Long and black, often set in a long braid.
Eyes: Light blue.
Origin: Icelandic-American. Born in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. Raised in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Spoiler: Eris

Eris enjoyed a quiet, almost peaceful life growing up in the mystifying, stunning village of Seyðisfjörður. There were few memories left from that time two decades ago. Conflicts grew and political tensions rose, not that she would have understood at such a young age. Her father was a stoic, hulking titan of a man. Worthy of the Viking title of his heritage. Her mother, the kind-hearted, yet stern Senior Master Sergeant of the U.S Air Force who'd tamed the frosted beast. Both had their concerns, so made the decision to return to The States for at least some safety should those in power wish to press that big red button. Inspired by mythical tales of old and her mom's fantastical stories of flight, it was only a matter of time before Eris enlisted to forge her own path. Breezing through training, her parents were ever so proud when she'd been finally cleared to fly! In the cockpit of her F-35 A Lightning II Fighter Jet, she felt truly free. The Twilight War befell them all, with Eris having to battle each day just to prove she deserved to stay in the air. Fuel became increasingly sparse, but the callsign "Valkyrie" were one she planned to live up to. How were she to know her next flight may be the last?

Personal Loadout:

[EllieInChainz]

Name: Cammie Larson
Gunner, Demo's expert, Heavy support
Age: 23
Height: 5'2"
Hair: Vivid blond, Messy stubby pigtails
Eyes: Green
Other: Colourful and flowery tattoo's, piercing, unique sense of style
Origin: Scotland, moved to Nova Scotia Canada

Spoiler: Cammie

Cassie's family moved to Canada from Dundee when she was a teenage girl. Despite being a fish out of water she very quickly settled down in her new environment, did well at College and was training as a Legal Secretary with a view to taking her Bar exam and becoming a lawyer.

Then the bombs fell. Nova Scotia was saved most of the blast itself, but the mass of people that followed created civil discontent, rioting and eventually small wars over resources. Cassie found everything she had learned in life useless and had to find a way to make herself useful. She managed to use her skills with computers helpful, when she came across a team trying to repower a broken down hydro-electric dam. She was brought into a small walled town called Unity and instead of resting on her laurels joined the town militia.

It was quickly discovered that Cassie was garbage at shooting but seemed to have a knack with demolitions, explosives and high calibre ordnance. She managed to get a salvaged Howitzer working again and spent most of her time constructing improvised explosives and pip bombs for the Militia.

Then the events of Dark night came and a wandering army of Scavvers assaulted Unity. The town was lost, but Cassie stayed to buy the people of Unity time to escape, using the salvaged Howitzer and her improvised ordnance to devastating effect, causing massive Scavver casualties. Cassie's efforts were witnessed by the Lieutenant who managed to dig her out of the rubble and nurse her back to health.

Cassie is young, bright, keen to learn and ever so slightly crazy. She avoids firearms generally as she's not great with them. But give Cassie and LAW, Javelin or Claymore mines and she's the girl for the job

[notlydialovelace]

Name: Lily Cox
Engineer, Mechanic, Ordnance Support
Age: 27
Height: 5'9"
Hair: Mid-Long, Black
Eyes: Green
Origin: British-American

Spoiler: Lily

Lily was born in New York City to a British Ex-pat and an American, and lived a generally comfortable life with good access to education and opportunities, but nowhere near extravagance. Her typical family holiday involved flying to visit her grandparents in Birmingham, where they operated a family-run but highly successful mechanics shop. Even from a young age, she would help her grandfather during repair jobs by fetching tools he asked her to bring to him, and by age 10, she was even mentally correcting his slip-ups as to what tool he needed, saving time and earning praise at her aptitude for understanding machines.

After graduating High School in NY, she and her family moved to Birmingham due to the rising fear of nuclear tensions and the strategic value of NYC as a target a crippling blow to the US economy and morale. She enrolled in a polytechnic institute in the UK and was scouted for a job working at a Rheinmetall plant in Düsseldorf, Germany, which was becoming increasingly important due to the growing threat of all-out warfare in Europe especially. After working there for several years, she and most of the civilian engineers who worked at the plant were given leave and relocated to a nearby town that was close enough to commute on a staggered basis, but far enough away that a strategic nuclear strike on the lynchpin factory wouldn't wipe out the workers, whose skills were more important to safeguard than to keep the production going at full-steam.

When the Twilight War hit, that decision proved to be a sound one, with Lily and several other engineers and townsfolk sheltering in a municipal bunker until the sirens stopped blaring. Once the fallout reports came in and the town was cleared for safe resurfacing once the nuclear barrage had decisively ended, Lily stayed behind in the town, as it was close to the industrial heart but much safer to remain in than risk approaching Düsseldorf proper. She used her expertise in mechanics and engineering to scavenge useful parts from abandoned vehicles and machinery, and would barter for food, water, medicine, and various important supplies from passing convoys of vehicles, whether automotive or military, in need of check-ups, repairs, or upgrades.

She eventually joined a passing 'tank unit' consisting of the one tank commanded by Lieutenant Whitlock and Cammie Larson, who offloaded their own shellshocked engineer to the care of the local town where she would face less active combat threats and still be able to help them out, with Lily herself taking over, and having basic military knowhow drilled into her by her new crewmates whenever an opportunity arose. While not a crack-shot by any means, Lily's prowess comes in the form of her quick uptake on the forces and physics at play in front-line combat, bracing herself for AR recoil, calculating bullet drop and drift, as well as GL arcs with uncanny ease after some trial and error. She also prides herself on her guns being very well-maintained and oiled, and never jamming.

She picked up a bit of German in her time working for Rheinmetall, but relies a lot more on the English fluency of her crewmates and basic proficiency of the non-English-native crews and civilians they cross paths with.
