Organization Name: Prancer Troupe
Type: Vulture
Established: 3 Years Ago
Base of Operations: Roaming
Other Details:

Flag: A pink deer skipping forward with a pure red antler that is dripping, evoking the appearance of being covered and soaked with blood.

History:
The Prancer Troupe is a relatively infamous group of Vultures operating almost everywhere, jumping from the Jovian moons and the PLANTS with seemingly no home base to call their own. They are a bunch of rogues, thrill-seekers, and mercenaries that are as famed for their skill and their body count as they are famed for being, until recently, composed of nothing but women.

They were originally a group of escapees from the slave trade, a bunch of women fueled by fury and hatred to their slavers and their heinous situation. Once they were a formidable group set on a roaring crusade throughout the known regions of the post-war world but their notions of revenge were brutally stomped out by a coalition of other vultures incensed by their reckless actions. Only one ship remained, the modified Clop-class Mavrica and what's left of her crew under the leadership of its wily Captain.

That was the violent birth of the Prancer Troupe. Now, the Mavrica was nowhere as bloodthirsty as she was during her crusading days and perhaps her new crew is far more interested in their own desires ... but there are still glimmers of its old spirit, because while it there is a certain truth to the hedonism and the carefree life aboard the ship, there still is decency and an upright moral backbone to be found within her crew.

Classification: III. Combat Coordinator

Biography:
Isaac Mori was a coordinator born for a war that has long since been over, kept frozen until his pod batch was discovered and taken as assets by one huge company. He was instead sent to do menial, day-to-day labor in a high-end office position on one of the thousand company buildings in one of the PLANTS. Needless to say, he chafed at a job that is ill-suited for someone of his specific skills. However, that doesn't mean that he didn't excel. After three years in his job, Isaac has finally settled down to a life without war, even if he hated his job and his abusive boss.

That is until the shuttle he and his workmates were on got hijacked by Vultures. Naturally, Isaac decided to fight him off, even managing to match one of the boarding party ... until his ungrateful boss ordered some unscrupulous MS Hunters to deny the Vultures their prize. Which means that the company members' shuttles were destroyed mercilessly by the people they thought were their rescuers.

He was absolutely enraged and when the Captain of the ship that hijacked them offered him a place and a shot at revenge ... Isaac Mori gladly took it.

... He really should've thought twice over his decision though. Because now he's stuck in a ship filled with women who were nothing but trouble.

Still, he couldn't be more happy with his new life.

Mobile Weapon: Saviour Gundam
Combat Style: Tactical
Strengths:
Isaac was born to be a Pilot and as such, he is just as good as operating an MS as he is using his own body. He is very adaptive in combat and excels in using robots that are just as adaptive, often making use of every part of the mech he uses and in sometimes very unique ways. He always pushes the machines he pilots though, which makes the girls' quite leery of making him use their MS.
Weaknesses: Lacks actual battlefield experience, he is easily surprised by unorthodox combat and can be very vulnerable when he's surprised with something new. He does adapt, but the gap between his adapting and his surprise is very noticeable and can provide to be very lethal in combat.




Name: Ilsa Caspiano
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Height: 5'9
Weight: 144
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Black
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Appearance:
rsz___ark_royal_azur_lane_drawn_by_mkiiiiii__sample-c5d9567bc3f0acead5381fb91566b583.jpg

Classification: I. Oldtype

Biography:
Ilsa was born to a wealthy family of unscrupulous merchants, ones who are known for their dealings with vultures and the other undesirables, the dregs in what remains of humanity. It wouldn't be surprising then that trouble visited her small clan, leaving their modest estate burned and young Ilsa's parents murdered. She was ten when it happened. The young orphan was quickly made aware of just how unforgiving and ugly the world really was to those less fortunate. For years she did anything to survive until her own looks betrayed her, causing her to be caught by one band of slavers. It was here that she met the woman she would be place her devotion and loyalty for the rest of her life.

When the women revolted and commandeered a small fleet group for their own design, Ilsa was one of the more vocal detractors to the idea of battle but she went unheard.

She didn't say I told you so on the aftermath of the ambush that birthed the Prancer Troupe, but her Captain knows she was thinking it.

For the past five years of Prancer Troupe's existence, Ilsa Caspiano has always been the first to any fray that the Prancer Troupe finds themselves in and she will continue to do so until the day she dies.

Mobile Weapon: AMX-009 Dreissen
Combat Style: Resourceful.
Strengths: Experienced pilot for over 3 Years. It is very hard to surprise her.
Weaknesses: She's a very reactive kind of Pilot and usually settles into just covering for the rest of the Pilots, which sometimes means that she won't take initiative when there are others who can. She is also the unofficial herder and squad leader of a bunch of misfits who rarely follow actual battle strategies. Yes, this includes Mori also but at least he listens to her inputs.




Name: Zofi Ambers
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6
Weight: 140 lbs
Eye Color: Violet
Hair Color: Black
Ethnicity: Asian-Latina
Appearance:
rsz_cc8e264e3afe3519ca30d4a76513d611a4249fba.jpg

Classification: II. Newtype

Biography:
Zofi Ambers was a girl born from nobodies and thrown into the hellish landscape of Io to fend for herself at such a young age. She was eventually raised by a group of workers and raised as their own, but the young Zofi had always been hungry for more in her life, always chaffing against the constraints of such a hard and painful life in the burning forges. So, one day, after a particularly harrowing argument with one of her Fathers, Zofi fled.

She did not regret leaving the Forge Moon behind, but she did regret leaving her family.

Zofi eventually fell in with an unscrupulous group of scavengers in Europa, living a carefree and hedonistic lifestyle that her hardworking but narrowminded parents would have never envisioned for her. It was here that she has discovered her love for mobile weapons, scavenging for their parts, and admiring how powerful they must be when functional or fully-formed. She had eventually built one mobile suit with the help of her girlfriend, one meager but reliable Zaku II which she used to improve their scavenging efforts.

The 16 year-old Zofi didn't expect that she'd ever use her MS for actual combat. But she did, in a desperate struggle to safeguard her second family from a violent group of marauding Vultures. It was here that her Newtype abilities woke up, awakened by the trauma of seeing her girlfriend die in front of her eyes. Consumed by animalistic rage, Zofi slaughtered almost the entirety of their attackers with her patchwork Zaku ... only to falter at the last four Vultures. As they circled her, Zofi was already waiting for death ... and then a pair of mobile suits arrived and destroyed the remaining four.

And that's how she met her new family, the Prancer Troupe. Ever since then, Zofi has become the all-girl group's most violent protector, a ravenous beast in combat that's willing to do everything anything to preserve the safety of her saviors and her new family.


Mobile Weapon: AMX-107 Bawoo
Combat Style: Aggressive.
Strengths: Zofi is terrifyingly ruthless and pragmatic in combat, a contrast to her cheery personality outside of it. She has no qualms using dirty tricks to win a fight and she's always going for weaknesses to end any combat as quick as possible.
Weaknesses: She has a tendency to tunnel vision on one enemy if they did something that pisses her off, like attacking the Antigone, or damaging her fellow pilots' mobile suits.



Name: Penelope "Penny" Saffron
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Height: 5'8
Weight: 150 lbs
Eye Color: Gray
Hair Color: Blonde
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Appearance:
rsz_sample_c55e406f2fc41418b46f3721a5d96e40b3195961.jpg

Classification: IIc. Cyber Newtype

Biography:
Penny makes for a very interesting person even among the quite odd group that is the Prancer Troupe. She's lazy, carefree, and always up to some antics with Zofi that often drives Ilsa up the wall in teeth-gritting frustration. She's also always wearing a black half-mask with a skull's lower jaw covering the lower half of her face.

Among the entire Prancer Troupe, Penny is perhaps the most feared aside from their Captain.

The Troupe found her in an abandoned space station in orbit of Europa, a facility that they eventually discovered was used to create Cyber-Newtypes. What lay inside for them was a grisly scene straight out of horror movies, blood on walls, flickering lights, destroyed equipments ... and in the middle of the sole cafeteria was a naked Penelope Saffron, drenched in blood, and crying tears from hollow, unfeeling eyes. She attacked them almost immediately and it was only the Captain's impressive hand-to-hand skills that could stand up to her. She would later admit that if Penny wasn't winded and exhausted from who knows how long she stayed there, she would've been easily defeated.

As the strange blonde was defeated, she bared her neck to the one who defeated her, offering her submission. With trembling hands, the Captain made her stand, gave her a name, and hugged her.

Ever since then, Penny has become endlessly devoted to the leader of the Prancer Troupe. Fanatical and utterly biased towards her point of view, a contrast to Ilsa who often offers criticism if there is one.

Mobile Weapon: MSK-008 Dijeh
Combat Style: Melee
Strengths: Penny is a terrifying foe to face in melee, ruthless and sadistic to her opponents. She often taunts the enemies through the comms if able.
Weaknesses: If not prompted by her beloved Captain, Penny has a tendency to toy with her opponents, especially if they get pissed at her.




Name: Samyaza "Aza" Gifter
Age: 37
Gender: Female
Height: 6'0
Weight: 157
Eye Color: Amber
Hair Color: Hair
Ethnicity: African
Appearance:
rsz_sample_8e79175d59890fa42df9f29de8226c7ceac3695f.jpg

Classification: II. Newtype

Biography:
Samyaza Gifter is the eccentric and elegantly dressed leader and founder of the Prancer Troupe and the Captain of its sole ship, the Mavrica. Once a famous courtesan in the more richer PLANTs, Aza was kidnapped and made a slave, something that she attributes less to her beauty but the pull that she has on the ears of so many powerful men and women. Despite her horrifying situation, Aza maintained her poise and regality, exuding an aura and a sense of self that her fellow slaves admired her for and that the slavers brutally tried to beat out of her.

But Aza didn't break.

She once had a luxurious and beautiful pale hair that was the envy of all her contemporaries, but it was shaved in an effort to break her. Aza never grew it back, a symbol of her change and defiance, and a personal reminder of her harrowing ordeal and her quiet vow to never make it happen again.

While she wasn't the leader of the movement prior to Prancer Troupe, she was one of the top advisers, swept in the tide of emotions that she helped stoke into anger. After the violent birth of Prancer Troupe, she could only look back at her actions with bitter regret, blaming herself for how that once-large group ended.

Now she leads a more relaxed sort of operation, happy to just indulge in the ecstasy of living, exuberant at being able to cower the people who once disparaged her craft and her self.
