WELKIN GUNTHER
The son of a great war hero from the First Europan War (E.W.I). He was a
university student who was immediately drafted after the Imperial
invasion to serve his nation as lieutenant of Squad 7. As a commander,
he rides the "Edelweiss", a highly mobile tank created by his late
father.
He majored in Animal Sociology while attending university and loves
observing animal and plant life and discovering different insects. From
his unique interests, he often finds the most unconventional tactics
(such as using trails left by animals) to stop the Imperial forces.
He is peaceful and carefree by nature. Other than his love for nature, he can be somewhat oblivious to his surroundings.
ALICIA MELCHIOTT
A young lady who is one day hoping to become a baker. She served as a
team captain of the Bruhl Town Watch and was called for duty after the
invasion, being posted to Squad 7 like Welkin. From her previous
experience, she will serve as one of the scouts.
She is extremely reliable, full of righteousness and loves taking care
of others. At first, she is perplexed by Welkin’s personality, but soon
learns what is special about his gentle ways.
ISARA GUNTHER
She was adopted by her late father’s friend, General Gunther, making her
the younger sister of Welkin. Due to her Darcsen decent, a group of
people who are openly discriminated in Europa, dealing with prejudice is
part of her life.
Taking to engineering in her father’s footsteps, she earned several
credentials before enlisting in the Army. She plays a dual role as the
squad’s tank pilot and mechanic.
BRIGITTE STARK (ROSIE)
One of the finest assault troopers of Squad 7. Formerly a songstress at a
bar where she took her nickname "Rosie". She holds prejudice against
the Darcsen race and treats Isara quite harshly.
ELEANOR VARROT
A Regiment Captain who oversees Welkin’s Squad 7. She holds high
standards when it comes to duty and will sternly dispatch her
subordinates to difficult missions, yet she is perfectly capable of
throwing in a casual joke or two while off duty. Being a mature and
intelligent woman, she will rarely voice a word about any personal
issues.
LARGO POTTER
A veteran Anti-Tank specialist who fought bravely in the First Europan
War (E.W.I). Overpowering and roughneck as he may be, he is extremely
loyal to those he can establish a solid working relationship with. He
values experience over talent, and therefore is unwilling to support
Welkin who has almost no combat experience.
FALDIO LANDZAAT
He is the tank commander and lieutenant of Squad 1. Studied archeology
at the same university Welken attended, where they first met and built
their friendship over the years. He takes pleasure in the studying of
history, and his knowledge of ruins and ancient sites is exceptional.
His pretty-boy looks can make him seem like a shallow character, but he
is serious and genuine by heart. He has a great sense to act accordingly
by reading the mood of a given situation.
ELLET
A hungry and determined news correspondent of GBS radio station. She is
capable of accurately reporting events without any bias or prejudice. In
a time when most nations are implementing press restraints, she will be
following closely by Welkin and the men and woman of Squad 7 to deliver
what is actually happening in the battlefront.
ZAKA
Zaka experienced much of the same discrimination that most Darcsens
faced throughout the continent and has grown to be resilient to such
racial attacks.
Since he worked in a factory from an early age, his knowledge of
machinery is considerable. He also has combat experience as a tank
operator, and is now appointed as the Tank Commander of Squad 7 riding
on the tank known as "Shamrock".
CORDELIA GI RANDGRIZ
Current heiress to the Randgriz line of Archdukes who rule Gallia. She
stands as a figurehead of the nation and scion of the legendary
Valkyrur. The death of her parents, the former Archduke and Duchess of
Gallia, left her heiress to the throne, though her young age has so far
precluded her coronation. Since Maurits von Borg was appointed as her
regent, she has concealed most of her feelings and thoughts to herself.
MAXIMILIAN
An Imperial prince and the Commander-in-Chief who leads the Empire’s
troops to Gallia. He is an ambitious and charismatic character who has a
high level of trust from all of his subordinates. He is a gifted and
sound commander with excellent strategic insight, worthy of his rank.
BERTHOLD GREGOR
A radical Imperialist who vows to support the emperor and his
sovereignty, unwilling to accept any of the values or heritage outside
of the Empire reign.
RADI JAEGER
He is originally from a kingdom that was taken over by the Empire in the
First Europan War (E.W.I). He ascribes to a knightly code of honor and
even shows respect towards his enemies.
SELVARIA BLES
A young commander identified by her long silver hair and red eyes. She
fervently supports Maximilian, and will fight proud and bravely for any
of his causes.
