Typo under strengths. Amy should be any. Also know that I may have to give your character some flak for his name. The more I say it the less I can keep a straight face for some reason. Otherwise ACCEPTED.

You know, I kind of like that idea. No clue how the Infinity tech tree works (don't have a PS3) but being able to upgrade some of the older planes could keep them more useful for longer if people are partial to a certain plane or lacking funds for a shiny new one. Of course this would probably be an RP thing only (as making official stats would be a bit of a hassle). Only question is the scavenging part. Some battlefields may be inaccessible, such as naval engagements or places where one can't easily return. Other than that I'm willing to give you the reigns to it.

Well, I intend to shorten it down to Lt. Dan, for disclosed reasons.

P.S. Co-pilot app is done, just threw it onto my other app.

That's fine and all, keep the name. Two things, it's Sapin not Spain in the Ace Combat universe. And for the most part your main character will be the one in charge of all the funds. For balancing reasons you'll only be paid the once, not twice, as some people may well use that to their advantage. So your total funds will be $0 for the time being.

My bad, it's 2:00 AM, and I only got 5 hours of sleep last night. Will fix the Sapin typos.

Yeah, I figured as much with the funds part. Looks like I can't use my life hack.

No problem. And you're life hack ain't good here.

[Western Romulus Empire]

Can you be a pilot and as a second character can you be a ground soldier.

*Waves hand in fron of face and speaks slowly *

You will wire 15,000,000 funds to my account

[Relikai]

Yep, I can do some work on the upgrading. Not all planes may have them, but we'll see. Scavenging might occur across large battlefields, or when a strike team successfully acquires technology or information from a base, or successfully extracting a scientist or so.

One of the proposals - Specific plane upgrade may allow them to blur the lines of their 'class'. For example, an F-15C gets upgrades which improves its Air-Air performance overall, while an F-15E gets upgrades which makes it perform slightly more to a Multirole (F-15SG for example). Fully upgraded planes might be called tier 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5, which obviously means they are better than their stock tier, but still not the standard of the next tier. Something like the Generation 3, 4, etc term they use in real life.

[Western Romulus Empire]

Can someone please answer that.

[Relikai]

Can someone please answer that.

It's still in its infancy, be patient for the OP to reply please.

[Empire of Donner land]

Neat. I would definitely like to join this.

[Beiarusia]

Can you be a pilot and as a second character can you be a ground soldier.

Preferably not as the soldier character would likely not be in the same vicinity as the squadron in most cases, and this is primarily about the squadron. It would be interesting to have a ground-view perspective on things but I think there are enough problems with such an idea that I'm gonna say no for now. Sorry.

Also if I'm a pilot from a nation and they want me to join the mercenaries are they allowed to lone me a jet.

That's to bad I wouldn't mind telling a squad of aircraft that there is a convoy they need to take out

[Beiarusia]

Also if I'm a pilot from a nation and they want me to join the mercenaries are they allowed to lone me a jet.

If you can justify it in some way then yeah, but in most cases I can't think of many nations that would simply give away a jet without some sort of catch. Note that this is a Mercenary squadron and the employers, somewhat corrupt as they are, may not hire if it's quite obvious that you're working for another nation, especially one that they may not agree with. Also, if by some means you convince me that it makes sense I'll have to find some way to balance it out, such as limiting your funds received or something. But if you choose a low level plane anyway it won't matter as much.

EDIT: Guess a better question would be to ask what plane did you have in mind?

...

Would you RP the scavenging or merely focus on the aftermath? If the former, like I told the other guy I'm wary of added ground elements simply for the fact of not wanting to bog things down. And what you said about the upgrading makes sense. Giving planes a bit more than what they come with stock, but not enough to fully be considered a higher class level. Kind of like Generation 4.5 aircraft, which you can probably guess are an in-between IRL.

[Relikai]

The scavenging process is kept to a minimum. Probably like -

As the pilots left the battlefield, they could see several Ospreys heading to where they came from. "Many thanks Aces. We'll take over from here. I'll try to see if we can cook up something so you guys can keep ruling the skies eh?"

Also, you accepting anime/drawn portraits for the pilot sequence?

Alright, I can deal with that. I assume they would be contracted alongside the Squadron? As I doubt the military would just let random scavers onto the battlefield. But yeah, green light to go ahead. As for pics I'll accept anything. I'm not too picky. Go with what you think best suits your character. I actually drew my character on my other RP.

To be honest in the IC, the scavenging can be totally left out, and the character(s) involved in the tech team would exist probably to help a pilot get drunk or play some basketball with. Minimal IC Contact required, and they'll just drop everyone an email or letter if an upgrade comes their way. With the minimal interaction, upgrades are going to be unlocked during mission milestones.
Since the Squadron is contracted by a bigger corporation, yes the tech division is put alongside them. First dibs to scavenge for scraps and husks, part of the terms and conditions to hiring the Squadron, since the Squadron is doing the dirty work.

Don't mind it every so often, just shouldn't be a major focus. In any case I'm still on board.

DENIED. Would prefer original characters. Also, the year is 1992. And I'm not allowing anyone to have a Flanker-F right off the bat. As for the rank, 2nd Lieutenant is the lowest and Major the highest. Squadron Leader isn't a rank.

[Gvozdevsk]

Name: Liora Cohen
Nationality: Levantese? Levantish? I don't know whatever you call someone from Levant.
Age (18 at youngest): 25
Gender: Female

Rank (O-1, O-2, or O-3): O-1
Callsign: Panther

Appearance: Liora has bright red hair that reaches mid back, which she almost always wear in a braid, and blue eyes. She has a relatively small build, lightly tanned skin and a youthful face. She'd be considered beautiful by most standards, but in an average "girl next door" sort of way rather than looking like anything too out of the ordinary.
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 125 pounds

Aircraft: Mirage V
Aircraft Appearance: Basically this paint scheme but with the appropriate roundels and without the yellow triangles on the wings.
Emblem: A black panther on a blue Star of David
Funds $1.725 million

Personality: Liora has a strange mixture of personality traits. She's extremely introverted, almost to a fault at times, yet is not afraid to rush into things head on without much thinking. She tends to have a sarcastic, self-deprecating, and somewhat morbid sense of humour. She can be an extremely difficult person to get to know, but if someone is able to gain her friendship she'll remain loyal to them to the very end.
Strengths: Able to feel equally comfortable in both an air to air and air to ground role, real see a mission through to the very end no matter the cost, extremely loyal to those who are able to gain her friendship.
Weaknesses: Working with unfamiliar people, has a tendency to try to do things her own way if she thinks the way she's told isn't working, even when her own ideas aren't the smartest.
Likes: Air to air combat, low altitude close air support, proving people wrong when they think she can't do something (will possibly add more later)
Dislikes: Attacking enemies who can't fight back, being forced to talk to new people, being anywhere near the sea, seeing friendly aircraft be shot down, excessively cold weather (will possibly add more later)

Bio: Liora was born into an average middle class family in Levant. Her father was a fighter pilot and she had always dreamed of following in his footsteps. So when she was drafted into the Levant Defense Force she asked to be put into pilot training. This was unfortunately at a time when women were first being accepted as combat pilots in Levant, so throughout training all of her superiors kept trying to make things difficult, hoping she would give up and do her mandatory service in a position more suited for a woman. Despite all the extra obstacles created for her, Liora completed her training. Anyone who tried to make her path difficult for her just because she was a woman now seemed to respect her, some of them respecting her almost more than her fellow male pilots.

When Liora's mandatory service period expired, she chose not to reenlist. The Levant Defense Force was starting to shift to a counterinsurgency focus, and she did not join the Air Force to drop precision guided munitions from thousands of feet in the air on people who can't even shoot back at her. Instead, she decided to offer her services as a mercanary pilot, as she could travel the world and go where the action is, getting in dogfights with skilled enemy pilots and hoping to come out on top just as her father had done before her.

Bio:
Shimazaki Haruna was born a genius into a rich Seianese family who migrated to Osea when she was nine. There she completed her primary education, and was unearthed as one of the brighter minds of her generation. Excellent in math, sciences, languages and geography, Haruna picked up four languages when she was ten, and scoring near-perfect scores before being enrolled into secondary education. There she chose her path as a physicist, aiming to enter the world of Aerospace Engineering. However, her parents were killed in a terrorist attack when they were on a business trip to Saien, leaving Haruna orphaned and lost in a foreign country. Thankfully, her parents' insurance and her inheritance is more than enough to last her through her formative years and beyond. Managing her finances and property proved a huge challenge, as Haruna was so focused on her studies that she has to hire a helper to clean the house every week.

It was an unfortunate case of racism in the local Osean university which prevented her from enrolling at age 15, even when her past teachers vouched for her to enter through a fast-track system. Because of her heritage, Haruna was ostracized in a private university, which caused her to drop out, pack her bags and return to Saien, but not before leaving half of her monetary assets for her kind helper.

Back in Saien, Shimazaki Haruna managed to apply for a job in Koga AFB, not as a pilot, but as a translator of foreign documents and articles. Apart from spending time in the libraries of Koga, Shimazaki Haruna spent the next few years scanning through thousands of documents, as well as playing badminton and basketball with other staff and pilots, although it took quite a while to join them for team games. Preferring to spend her free time jogging, the little girl often ran after planes taking off and landing, running the entire length of runways as part of her exercise regime.

When she hit eighteen years old, Haruna finally met the height requirements to become a pilot. Acing the theoretical examinations and pilot tests, Haruna almost got into the Seianian Air Force, only to vomit in the final trials, ensuring failure. Distraught but not discouraged, Haruna immediately signed up with the Mercenary Air Forces, and was assigned to Morena, where she would need to reintegrate with a new group of pilots...

Awkward character that actually takes advantage of a fictional country within a fictional universe. Like it. ACCEPTED.

[Rupudska]

Aircraft list is still wrong. Wyvern has always been either a fighter or a multirole. Nighthawk has never been anything besides an Attacker, and no higher than tier 4 at best. Berkut is Su-47, the prototype Berkut (which is probably what you're thinking of) with the thrust vectoring is the S-32. Avro Arrow should be in tier 2 and pretty low in it, no matter what its fanboys think. Mudhen (F-15E) is a multirole. So is the F-16C.

Oh and the map shows post-Belkan War borders for Osea and Belka.

Name: Wakahisa (surname) Shinobu (first name) [若久 忍]
Nationality: Seianese
Age (18 at youngest): 26
Gender: Female

Rank (O-1, O-2, or O-3): Captain (O-3)
Callsign: Hound

Appearance: lunk
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 116 lbs

Aircraft: Saab JAS-39C Gripen-C
Aircraft Appearance: link
Emblem: Top Center, her personal emblem
Funds $15,775,000.00

Personality: Perfect flower of Seianese beauty, a sword wrapped in silk.
Strengths: A highly skilled combatant, both in and out of an aircraft. Hard worker, with great endurance. Gets shit done. Fluent in a number of languages, including North Point, Belkan, Yuktobanian, and Erusean
Weaknesses: Can come off as cold to some. Has absolutely horrible taste in men. Stubborn as 1.5 asses.
Likes: Flying, archery, swordfighting, cooking, reading
Dislikes: Tobacco products (of any kind), undisciplined pilots, bitter things

Bio: Shinobu's early life story is rather dull and uninteresting. She was born to one of the wealthiest (and most politically active) families in Seian. She received a thorough private education, and was slated to become another flower of Seianese high society. However, she had other plans. She wanted to join the Air Force, something her highly conservative parents did not want. They repeatedly attempted to dissuade her, but her uncle (who was and still is a general in the Seianese Army) convinced them to let her in. Thus, instead of heading to one of North Point's prestigious universities, she went to a Seianese military academy for toughening up before heading to the Seian Air Force Academy. It was at the military academy where she got her scars, via a 'training accident'. She doesn't like to talk about it. It was at the Air Force Academy where she started painting her aircraft red, which she still does.

She is one of the Seianese military's attachments to Morena Squadron.
