I will do it here.
Alex Booth is a veteran of several combats against both the Lyran Commonwealth, the Ronins and the Clans and always in a hovercraft unit making with speed what they lacked in raw holding power. Having requested to be enlisted again at the end of his 2 former periods after his honourable discharges, he was sent by the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery to the Sohei as the Coordinator wanted veteran soldiers loyal to the Dragon to help officering the unit.
Not the brightest tactician, “Evocatus†(as he was nicknamed by Viktoria Wightman) is strict in exercising and keeps proper discipline among his unit. He still needs to find how to cope with the different individualities that make his lance, how to turn them into a team while making the best use of each one of them.
Viktoria Wightman is what can be called an armchair general. In spite of not going through any formal military education, she is a practitioner of wargames since an early age. She studied every information she could find on the Clans to help them being vanquished. This focus earned her the nickname of « Hachiman » as she was seen by some as the future protector of the Samurais in their fight against the invaders.
In spite of her readings and gaming, Viktoria Wightman has not been prepared to face the horrors of war and she is growing afraid of the consequences of her plans on the battlefield, a fear that slows her down. Assigned to Alex Booth’s lance, she is being slowly eaten by a sense of failure and this in spite of the work done by her commanding officer that has been assigned the mission to give her and the other recruits some experience and to “blood†them.
Y.T. Hiro was the best virtual swordmaster in the whole Draconis Combine. This is until one day during Operation Revival, she met someone with as much inner strength as her, an unknown Smoke Jaguar Warrior. When they were about to draw their swords after hours facing each other, the network went down. Frustrated, Y.T. Hiro decided to try to find this Warrior and to settle one and for all who the best swordmaster is.
Turning to whoever would accept her, she was rejected by the military as she lacked the proper training and was only focusing on her revenge. Frustrated, she decided to find someone who would train her and found her way towards the Order of 5 Pillars who was in the middle of their recruiting for their Sohei unit. Because of her lack of experience, she was assigned to Alex Booth’s lance who had to make her focus all her anger and skills on the hovercraft and working with others. Unwilling to fight at distance, she was delighted when she realised that her Plainsman “Snow Crash†can only fight at closer ranges where she can focus and feel her opponents just like she did in her virtual duels.
Son of civilian technicians working as private contractors for the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery, Zmeu Făt-Frumos lost them at an early age during a raid by Ronins during the battles of the Ronin Wars. Raised by a relative, he was a troubled teenager unable to decide if he wanted to avenge his parents or forget all about it. This led him to run away from everything and to become a racing pilot in the hovercraft competition.
After disaster strikes with his car being completely destroyed for the 3rd time in the same season, the sponsor of his team knowing his background approached him with a proposal for Zmeu to keep on piloting hovercrafts while one day perhaps getting a revenge for his parents: the solution was to join the unit the Order of the Five Pillars was raising.
Without any other contract available, Zmeu Făt-Frumos accepted and was assigned to the Hands of Kannon where he brought his pilot skills but also his troublesome attitude, which made him a perfect candidate for Alex Booth’s team and the piloting of a Plainsman.
