April 14, 1935

1000 hours (10:00 am)

Welkin, Alicia, and Isara were back in the Rec Room, sitting at the same table that they were in yesterday after their meeting with Captain Varrot. They had gathered there while Jack went to see the good Captain as to find out who would be placed in their squad. The waiting had just hit the fifteen minute mark when they saw Jack entering through the door holding a clipboard in his hand with several sheets of paper attached to it.

"So how did it go?" asked Isara.

"About as well as you'd expect. I got our squad roster right here," said Jack as he took an empty chair and sat down with his friends.

"I've read through each of them, including us," added Jack.

"So what do you think about them?" asked Welkin.

"The nicest way for me to describe them is that they are the biggest bunch of misfits I've ever seen," commented Jack.

"Come on, they can't be that bad," assured Alicia.

"The only two that I thought would be useful are the two other officers placed within our squad," said Jack.

"Who are they?" inquired Isara.

"They are Sergeant Largo Potter, a Lancer. And Corporal Bridgette Stark, though according to her report she tends to be called 'Rosie'. She's a Shocktrooper," he explained.

"Mind if I take a look at those?" suggested Welkin.

"Knock yourself out," he joked as he handed the clipboard to Welkin.

As Welkin began to take a look at the squad roster, Isara and Alicia moved near him in order to get a good look at what he was reading.

Even though they aren't related by blood, they still treat each other as if they were. Taking to follow in her father's footsteps, she is a prodigy engineer who earned several credentials before enlisting in the Militia.

He also has valuable knowledge on German weapons and tactics since most of his father's political trips in the Reich were held near military bases. He is also fluent in most languages found in Europa and others around the world. A military man at heart, he used forged papers to enlist in the United States Army at the onset of the Soviet-American War at only 15.

Height: 168cm

For her uniform her skirt is slightly shorter than others as well as she has a corset under her uniform which can be shown around her waist where she cut the tunic. Part of the corset has been removed to show a portion of her belly. This allows her to move faster on the battlefield.

Info: Formerly a bartender and songstress from a bar in her hometown of Ghirlandio, she still bears the nickname "Rosie", given to her by the bar-going regulars. She is a super-intense member of the Militia, and has often been accused of being hot-blooded and straightforward. She however cares greatly for her comrades, acting somewhat of a big sister to them.

The two of them were decorated for their efforts in a battle where they destroyed five German tanks by themselves which halted an enemy advance. Largo was presented many opportunities for promotion, denying all of them to stay on the front lines.

Info: Aika hails from a distant land, and has traveled much of the world with Vyse. She has known Vyse since childhood, and can't help but stick her nose into his business all the time. The more Aika feels like she is trapped in a corner, the stronger she seems to be. She is straight-forward and lively, to say the least. She is a bright and cheerful girl, but is scared of ghosts and bugs. Though most people find her tomboyish braids quite charming, few know how beautiful and feminine she actually looks when she lets her hair down.

Unit Class: Scout

Description: She has blue eyes and had her blonde hair tied up into a pony tail.

She had lost her parents when she was very young, so Freesia had grown up as a free spirit with no restrictions. As a result, Freesia felt rather uncomfortable when she realized that people had actually depended on her when she joined the Militia, and she also found out that endurance is not her greatest trait. She can often be seen trying to flirt with other men in the Militia.

Unfortunately for Hermes, he has a serious lack of stamina and can never keep up with any woman that he goes out with. As a result, he always leaves their date before it is actually over, and needless to say this has left him with a rather poor reputation among the ladies.

Birth Date: c.1913 (22 years old)

Unit Class: Scout

Description: She has a small pair of glasses covering her blue eyes. She has shoulder length blonde hair.

Noce Wordsworth

Info: With her sharp fashion sense, Ramona used to work as a model for the popular magazine called "Gallian Girl" before joining the Militia. She has an obsessive interest in everything that's "in" and "cool," so she was constantly sneaking out of her house whenever her parents weren't looking, to visit the shopping district in town. Ramona suffers from low blood pressure, and is definitely not a morning person.

Susie Evans

Rank: Private

Birth Date: c.1916 (19 years old)

Unit Class: Scout

Description: A young woman with long, curly blond hair. She wears a pink bow on the back of her head and if you look close enough into her blue eyes, you can see a glimpse of her innocence in them.

Info: Susie is a childhood friend of Noce and Alicia as well as a former member of the Bruhl town watch. As the daughter of a frontier tycoon, Susie comes from a very wealthy family, and therefore lacks common sense when it comes to the value of money or how the world works. She tends to spend vast amounts of money without hesitation, once naively paying 25 Ducats for a single apple. Susie joined the militia in order to uphold her family's honor, but she is a very passive person who wouldn't even hurt a fly, so needless to say she despised the war and all the fighting that was involved.

Unit Class: Scout

Rank: Private

Birth Date: c.1923 (12 years old)

Unit Class: Shocktrooper

Description: She is shorter than most soldiers in the Militia due to her young age. She has brown eyes and hair that is tied up into two small pig tails. Though small in stature, she has the physical endurance and skill to wield a submachine gun.

Info: By the remarkably young age of 12, Aisha had already passed all of her military training courses. Her immeasurable IQ was matched only by her athleticism. Back home, she was praised as a genius. Though Gallian law says that only people aged 16 and over can be allowed into the Militia, Aisha was accepted due to her credentials. The natural curiosity and bountiful energy that accompanies youth are her most valuable traits on the battlefield. Her dream is to be the greatest military personnel ever when she grows up, and spends most of her free time teaching herself tactics and the art of war.

Alex Raymond

Rank: Private

Birth Date: c.1917 (18 years old)

Unit Class: Shocktrooper

Info: Her family runs an ironwork's plant in the industrial city of Fouzen, in northern Gallia. Dorothy is extremely shy, and will blush whenever she has to stand in front of other people.

Description: Her long silver hair is put into two long pigtails and brown eyes. Her pigtails are covered with two blue bows.

Jane Turner

Unit Class: Shocktrooper

Description: She has shoulder length black hair as well as blue eyes. Her once innocent look in her eyes has now been replaced by a seething hatred.

Unit Class: Shocktrooper

Description: He has brown eyes and his brown hair is cut using a bowl cut hair style.

Unit Class: Shocktrooper

Description: She has short brown hair and brown eyes. She is slightly more muscular and fit than most of the woman in Squad 7.

Unit Class: Shocktrooper

Description: A handsome young man with brown eyes with his short red hair combed over to the left side of his head.

Info: Salinas's handsome face ensures that he is perpetually surrounded by women. Being the gentleman that he is, Salinas never turns away a hopeful female, which has unfortunately resulted in a long trail of heartbroken women. Salinas is a hardcore tank geek, and the only reason why he even joined the militia was for an opportunity to see a tank up close.

Birth Date: c.1911 (24 years old)

Unit Class: Sniper

Description: A woman with blue eyes and shoulder length black hair that covers her left eye.

Info: Marina is a beautiful hunter belonging to Squad 7 who always prefers to be alone. As the daughter of a hunter and former Great War sniper, Marina was trained in the art of hunting by her father ever since she was old enough to track an animal. As long as no one gets in her way or distracts her, very few people can outperform Marina with a firearm. For this reason and in order to always perform at her best, Marina prefers to be away from anyone and anything that might detract from her hunting. Marina proved her worth on the battlefield on more than one occasion. As one of the few Corporals, in Squad 7, how she obtained that rank is a mystery.

Description: A young man with brown eyes and short brown hair that is straight up. He has a scar on the left side of his forehead in the shape of an 'x'.

Info: He enlisted in order to keep his sickly younger brother safe. The scar on his forehead tells of a childhood attempt to do the same. He tries to play the strong big brother to Emile, but he's actually quite timid. Terrified of thunder and mice, he always keeps his distance from the kitchen.

She may seem rather delicate, but Fina has the agility and endurance necessary to run across a dangerous battlefield and aid those in need. Those who know her best say she's been through more than her fair share of battles. She is very handy with a rifle, and can be often seen fighting alongside her fellow 7's.

Info: A mechanic working in the R&D labs along with being assigned to work on Squad 7's equipment. Called to enlist while working a factory job in his hometown after middle school, he was initially so homesick he reports once attempting to go AWOL to return. The owner of a legendary sweet tooth, he adds three heaping tablespoons of sugar to his hot milk. Coworkers say he keeps chocolate hidden on him at all times.


"Wow, you weren't kidding. This is quite a colorful cast," noted Welkin, after finally reading through the last of the profiles.

"Isn't that what the Militia is supposed to be?" asked a distant voice. The four of them looked up to see a young man approach them. He was a young handsome man, twenty three years old, had brown eyes, well-kept brown hair, and wore a Lieutenants uniform similar to Welkin, but with a few differences. He had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he didn't have a tank commander's cap, and he didn't have the strap that had the shots for a flare.

Welkin and Jack got up immediately as they recognized their friend. "Faldio, I had no idea you enlisted," said Welkin in surprise.

"Yeah, now that there's a real war going on, I figured that I'd join up," explained Faldio.

"Do you guys know each other?" asked Alicia, wondering how they were acquainted with each other.

As all three of them turned to Alicia, Jack introduced them all. "Alicia, this is Faldio Landzaat. Faldio, this is Alicia Melchiott, our new acquaintance from Bruhl and Squad 7's second-in-command," he said.

"Good to meet you," greeted Faldio. He then looked over to Isara and said "Nice to see you again kiddo."

"Likewise," she responded.

The three of them sat back down at the table. Welkin explained how they knew Faldio. The three of them knew each other from their days at the university. Faldio was studying to become an archaeologist. Jack commented how he was more Welkin's friend than his on the count that the two of them had known each other longer than he had. He also revealed that he was one of Welkin's friend that saved him from that pack of bullies that were beating them up. They then went about explaining how they had met Alicia and about the battle at Bruhl.

"So let me get this straight. You arrested them because you thought that they were spies?" asked Faldio, hardly believing what he had just heard.

Alicia blushed a little bit and began rubbing the back of her head before admitting "Yeah, pretty much."

"In her defense, we did a pretty good job of making her think that we were spies," admitted Welkin.

"Speak for yourself. She pointed a gun at my head. Twice," Jack pointed out.

"Hey, I said I was sorry," she noted to him.

"I know. I'm just messing with you," admitted Jack.

Faldio let out a light laugh before saying "You still have that dry sense of humor don't you Jack?"

"I wouldn't be much without it," he responded.

"So Faldio, you're a Lieutenant too?" asked Isara inquisitively.

"Yeah, pretty much all the officer-in-training boys are. I've been placed as the commander of Squad 1 of the 3rd Regiment," answered Faldio.

"So that means you answer to Captain Varrot as well," asked Welkin.

"Yeah. Oh, that reminds me. She wants all the squad leaders in the war room ASAP," he mentioned, just remembering that fact.

"Really, why?" asked Welkin.

"I think she's going to give us a briefing on our first mission. And if that's the case, we had better get going," he explained. The two of them then got up from their seats.

"You guys going to be alright?" asked Welkin.

"Yeah, we'll be fine. Meet us in the hanger. I'll rally up Squad 7 and have you meet us there when you're done," assured Jack.

And with that, Welkin and Faldio left the rec room on their way to Captain Varrot's office.
