09th Tactical Strike Team Mobius
Base of Operations:
San Diego Air Force Base
Affiliation: United Cascadian
Group Combat Theme:

The 09th Tactical Strike Team "Mobius" is a detached unit of the Cascadian military, given Supervision by Grunder Industries. The team was originally proposed by Grunder as a test team to gain live combat data against BETA for the company's new technology and weapons. While given supervision by Grunder, the team only mobilizes on command from the Cascadian Military. That said, the Squadron has become the ace squadron of Cascadia, with both Nine and Wolf being pilots with impressive combative records, and the other members being nothing to sneeze at either.

Name: Izanami Kouzuki
Age: 35
Gender: Female
Height: 171 cm
Weight: 55 kg
Eye Color: Yellow
Hair Color: Black
Ethnicity: Japanese
Likes: Ramen, Espressotinis, Irish Coffee
Dislikes: BETA, Kimchi, Stubborn Old Men

Biography:
Originally born in Aomori, Japan, Izanami was one of those many displaced by the BETA invasion on earth. At the age of 10, she fled Japan with her parents to Cascadia, where she began attending school. A late-bloomer in her prowess of knowledge, she became known as a genius during high school, later obtaining her PhD in Quantum Physics at the age of 24, while also excelling in mechanical engineering and design. After University, she was scouted by the Cascadian Military, and more specifically, Grunder Industries, to work on their TSF program, and accepted, becoming one of the current lead researchers and designers of the Tactical Surface Fighters; it was in part due to her that Cascadia is able to quickly advance their TSF technology to counter the BETA.

After spending ten years on the TSF program, she was shifted to the 09th Tactical Strike Team to serve as their new CO and as a liaison to Grunder, along with the new prototype machines.

Despite her appearance and demeanor, She is quite the serious individual, and somewhat of a Machiavellian pragmatic, who doesn’t mind stepping on toes or breaking hearts to get the results she wants.

Her breath usually reeks of alcohol, and is arguably the living definition of a ‘functioning alcoholic’.

Name: Nine "Z.O.E"
Callsign: Mobius 0
Operational History: 15 Years
Gender: ー (Female)
Height: ー (164 cm)
Weight: ー (122 kg)
Eye Color: ー (Grey)
Hair Color: ー (White)
Ethnicity: A.I

Biography:
An Artificial Intelligence created in secret by Grunder Industries as a method to counter the BETA, intending it to be a risk-free weapon to use. Following the BETA invasion, and the resulting slaughter of millions of lives at the hands of the aliens, Grunder decided that in order to supplement their low manpower, AI technology needed to be developed during the time it took to replenish their troops. The key point of Z.O.E was that it is able to continually learn through consecutive battles, gathering information from combat, analyzing it, and applying it to itself to overcome its own weaknesses.

Z.O.E was fielded as an independent unit of Grunder Industries, taking to the combat field to fight the BETA threat. Initially, the results were poor, as several times it was required to retreat due to combat damage and almost being devoured by the BETA, but as time continued on, and Z.O.E processed more combat data, the results became more and more impressive, the A.I becoming almost an ace pilot in its own right.

This however, was unappreciated by the president at the time, and he demanded that Grunder terminate the Z.O.E program, believing that it is far too dangerous a weapon to be given as much autonomy as it had. Grunder complied, ‘terminating’ the program five years after its start. Though they simply waited until the next president came into power, before restarting the program, this time covering their tracks to keep its existence a secret.

In order to keep the secret within the company, while still remaining unsuspicious during combat operations within Cascadia, a copy of Z.O.E’s AI was uploaded into a android, which was enlisted into the Cascadian Military. The 09th was formed around Z.O.E to further ‘her’ growth and development in combative ability. Over the past ten years her combative record has grown to be impressive, becoming an ace in her own right amongst the pilots of the Cascadian military.

That said, her personality is rather nonexistent, apart from her simple compliance to orders from her superiors.

Combat Theme:
Combat Style: Evolution
Combat Role: Storm Vanguard
Strengths: Z.O.E’s ability to process combat data is impressive, and the more fights it takes place in the further it grows as a pilot, making its capability to adapt to different situations and strategies a terrifying prospect against any pilot that may go up against it.
Weaknesses: Z.O.E’s purpose is single-minded, and its self-growth is subject only to itself, and as such, the A.I is horrible at calculating war strategies and other large-scale calculations.

Name: Wolf Krieger
Callsign: Mobius 1
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 72 kg
Eye Color: Orange
Hair Color: Brown
Ethnicity: German
Likes: Spicy Food, Long Naps, Volleyball
Dislikes: Sweets, BETA, Insensitive People

Biography:
The leader of Mobius Squadron, Mobius 1. He began piloting TSFs at the age of 13, and is the longest living active TSF pilot in the military. Despite his cold looks, he’s a fairly sociable guy and takes care of his subordinates. One of the many victims of the BETA, during an incursion, he saw his parents get eaten by the beta right before his eyes. He would’ve died too if not for the TSFs that eliminated the nearby forces. In the aftermath of the battle, he was taken in by the pilots, and brought to San Diego, where he decided to join the military. During his time in training he was seen to be proficient in piloting a TSF, and his motivation to fight the BETA. He joined many different squadrons and TSF teams during his time in the military, though was shifted around a lot due to personnel shortages.

That said in his six years of being a TSF pilot, he has yet to have a fatal injury or otherwise be removed from service, giving proof to his records of piloting. Arguably one of the Aces of Cascadia, if nothing else in his survival rate.

Combat Role: Gun Interceptor
Strengths: Having spent several years in combative duty, while being juggled around different squadrons, Wolf has developed a keen sense of adapting to his team's strengths and weaknesses, and learning how to apply them effectively. He is a great combat strategist, and remains in the middle of the formation, coordinating with the rear guard and vanguard.
Weaknesses: His attention is usually split between coordination and attacking, and will struggle to keep up in combat should one close the distance on him.



las-91214-.jpg
Name: Theodore Roswell
Callsign: Mobius 2
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Height: 176 cm
Weight: 76 kg
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Ethnicity: American
Likes: Books, Running, Music
Dislikes: Death, Putting in Effort, People who don't Stay in their Own Bike lane

Biography:
The definition of ‘just doing his job’, Theodore was one of the few who weren’t subject to the horrors of BETA, having lived far away from any hive. That said, he was still subject to the side effects that the alien invaders brought, as the burdens of constant war took its toll on the entire populous. That said, he was subject to the mandatory draft and became a TSF pilot. All he wants is to do his time and get out alive in one piece. He hates the idea of putting in more work than somethings worth, and in some reverse-psychology method, he's managed to refine his piloting style to be one that 'achieves the greatest results possible with the least amount of effort needed'. He’s somewhat of a cold individual, yet puts his faith in Wolf, as he’s seen the results of Mobius and follows his lead without question.

Combat Role: Strike Vanguard
Strengths: His unique combat style is one that focuses on putting in as little effort as possible, making his endurance in combat much longer than most other pilots, conserving his energy while remaining an offensive combatant.
Weaknesses: If an enemy is simply too strong he may deem it not worth attempting to fight it, and as such he will focus on evading and waiting for a chance when the tides shift and he can take the advantage.

Name: Natalya Antonova
Callsign: Mobius 3
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Height: 167 cm
Weight: 54 kg
Eye Color: Yellow
Hair Color: White
Ethnicity: Russian
Likes: Vodka, Her Comrades, French Fries
Dislikes: BETA, Fish, Cold Weather

Biography:
The designated sniper of Mobius Squadron, Natalya also acts as the big sister of the group, being both a big sister in truth, and being the oldest of the group. She came to Cascadia along with the other refugees who escaped due to the threat of the Vladivostok Hive. She was the second to join the Mobius Squadron a couple of years after Wolf. Her skills in marksmanship are almost unmatched in the Cascadian Military, having gotten perfect marks on both the handheld rifle and TSF marksman course.

She often drinks with Izanami, the two sharing camadrie over alcohol. She drinks exclusively Vodka, saying that it "reminds her of home."

Combat Role: Impact Guard
Strengths: Natalya does best at distance, sniping enemies from far away, either focused on particularly dangerous enemies, or ones that may be sneaking behind allies. With the Over The Horizon Cannon, she is able to make first-strike attacks against BETA, or any other unsuspecting enemy from over 500km away
Weaknesses: Her close combat capability is fairly low, and will focus more on evading than trying to be offensive.

Name: Noa Brightwind
Callsign: Mobius 4
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Height: 158 cm
Weight: 41 kg
Eye Color: Grey
Hair Color: Black
Ethnicity: Mixed European
Likes: All Food, Cooking, Second Helpings
Dislikes: Hunger, Sports, Death

Biography:
The youngest and newest to join the Mobius Squadron, Noa was displaced from her orphanage in a recent draft to bring more pilots into the military. She had no parents or siblings so it was simple enough to take her from her prior home and into the military. Perhaps it was somewhat of a blessing; she had always been malnourished in the orphanage, and at least in the military she could eat regularly. She’s a quiet individual, and tends to only speak when spoken to.

Combat Role: Blast Guard
Strengths: With the heavy weapons of the Blast Guard, Noa is skilled at targeting clusters of enemies and aiming to get the most bang for her buck out of every single projectile fired.
Weaknesses: Noa is the youngest and newest to piloting so her skills overall are fairly low.

History:
While the Black Widow lost to the Raptor during the ATSF trials on the idea of it being mass produced, the pure combative capabilities that put it above the F-22 made it the perfect platform for their use of it as a single-produced prototype machine for Z.O.E. They bought one of the test units off of Northrock shortly after the end of the trials. While already a top-class TSF in both combat and mobility, Grunder needed only modify the cockpit for its designated pilot, Z.O.E.
