Sean Blade - Squadron commander Rebecca Stewart - Avalon Foundation agent and 'field commander', close friend. Nina Dartford - Pilot of F-111X Plus, close friend, colleague for five years
Personality: Cheerful, but a bit gruff. Has had a chequered past, after falling in with bad crowds, mainly due to his size and physical aptitude, as well as his fairly simplistic attitude and perception of the world. However, the same morals and attitude were what made it easy for him to leave the life behind, and to enlist in the Air Force.
Smart, despite his appearance suggesting otherwise. Good at reading people, and understanding their emotions. Gets to the bottom of a problem easily, and strips it down to the basics. Not a complicated guy; simple tastes and pleasures.
Likes/Habits: Loud kinda guy, quite brash and up-front about things. Doesn't beat around the bush much. Likes loud, aggressive music, and plays drums to fit in with that. Smokes cigarettes, but not heavily. Animated with hands while talking, and can be excitable.
He and Taia play off of each others' wits for comedic effect, forming a kind of comedy double act at times. They also quite obviously are crazy about each other... obvious to everyone other than each other, that is. Should anyone try to point it out to them, they'll blusteringly deny the whole thing, and denounce it as ridiculous, naturally.
Note: Please feel free to have my characters guest in your own works, but obviously ask me first, and try to keep them loyal to their source material and backgrounds as mentioned here, and as shown in the stories they originally appeared in.
