Miranda "Edge" Nagase - Character Sheet

BIOGRAPHY

A simple lifestyle, the ideal path of a Sudatorian taken down a quick winding road for some foolish thing called love.

Miranda Nagase grew up around a family of your average Libertonians: parents in pharmacy, and a brother in the Navy. Patriotism was always one of the key assets of Miranda’s life, so she reached with her brother to work towards the Navy, her true and innocent dream throughout her entire childhood. Miranda wasn't so innocent through her whole childhood though. Her dream brother, the aspiring Navy pilot, fell apart at age 10 for Miranda, falling into the elusive trap of Cardamine. Her brother was of course caught, dealing time in Sugarland before giving in 2 months later, found convulsing and dying in his cell of an overdose of a street drug. After this Miranda became a very silent person, but nonetheless continued to aspire towards the goal her brother started: to serve her country and aspire in the 'proud' Liberty Navy.

High school was a blank time, an aspiring scholar and patriot of Liberty, Miranda blazed through school. Becoming almost top of her class in scholars and certainly top of her class in ROTC in her school. After high school, it wasn't hard for her to go to the Navy and begin her star studded future career. Miranda was the model pilot, climbing to the rank of Lieutenant Commander after approaching her second year of service to the Navy. She eventually came into service with a rookie LSF agent, by the name of William Foulke, someone Miranda worked with for quite a while, and at some point realizing where she went blind in their "professional relationship". It was all up to change on a special assignment with the LSF in a remote system that Liberty officials do not often go near: Kansas.

The assignments details are classified to Liberty Database's to this day, due to Liberty's famous habit of covering up whatever goes wrong. A short sum of events would be that William Foulke had an accident, and Miranda did not handle it well. The classified gate kept under wraps in the system worked, with Foulke going through and losing contact on the other side, which is the moment where Miranda began her panic. Auxesia was the force present at the time, claiming to be professionals of their field they went in as the rescue party, the rather calm LSF agent on the Kansas side having to attempt to keep Miranda calm. After Foulke was found, he ran, Miranda searching frantically, with a party spreading throughout all of Liberty as the search continued. Eventually a time came with a message coming through personally to Miranda: Foulke had to run, and it was up to Miranda at that moment to either lie and let him go or to stick to her career. Miranda chose the foolish path of the time, choosing her feelings over duty to country, and fed the part false information, driving the search wrong and allowing him to escape Liberty, a decision that would drive Miranda to the wall for the weeks to come.

The next few weeks were relatively undercover, with Miranda assuming her normal duties, innocently unaware yet painfully nervous of an LSF investigation going on in the background. She avoided all traces of Liberty's borders, nearly refusing to leave New York altogether until it blew over, however this is not what higher powers had to plan. Miranda had a day of training a new recruit, but it turned south pretty quickly when that name showed up once again: Auxesia. This time the group popped up with a Hellfire ship, while Miranda did not see it, a Hellfire Cruiser had exploded, killing all the hundreds crew, except for the remaining captain "Stoneheart". Miranda intercepted this man, finding him nearly in tears, once again falling into her feelings and attempting to help the man, she pointed him to their base as an LSF agent and Navy reinforcements arrived, driving Miranda's anxiety of the situation through the roof. This, is where everything finally fell through, the little girl who worked so hard, saw the fall of her brother, only to break it all on a wish for a lover.

The LSF agent became frantic, threatening to engage the Hellfire at any second, encircling the Hellfire outpost within California as Stoneheart and another pilot remained near the base. Miranda was already anxious enough, but then heard a voice from the second pilot, breaking her entire world instantly. She knew it was him, it had to be William, and she snapped, and broke her entire dream opening up an LSF agent of Liberty. She drove him back to Liberty, fleeing into the badlands with a final goodbye to her home.

After this episode, Miranda followed Foulke to Auxesia, working with him for a time until his recent disappearance in the Omicrons. While Foulke's disappearance is always in the back of Miranda's head, it doesn't stop her as she works forward, dedicated to Auxesia’s mission, working for what William had to the place for. Now more than a refuge, Miranda had no other place to go not under the eyes and ears of the LSF, so she embraces Auxesia, although possibly not yet fully accepting of it as more than refuge, she works towards acceptance, to find a new home, since hope for Liberty is likely lost.
