The Vatan is a hybridization project undertaken by the nomads and a small sect of Royalist Forces within Gallia. Its purpose appears to be as a mindnode in the distant Gallic Sector, however its true cause is as mysterious as the Nomads themselves.

This is one of my oldest characters and ongoing stories. I formed the main character, Lucas Gerald, back in Shago's version of the GRP| and loved him ever since. He was a laid back man who simply grabbed the GRP gig because it was simple. He rose in the ranks and after a while ended up leading the whole operation as the Directeur. Things took a turn for the worse when the nomads decided to play with his mind.
While it started off with just Lucas Gerald, it climbed into this massive story. From law enforcing officer to drug addict, to GRP Directeur and criminal, and now something far worse. As is, the Vatan is past humanity. It has grown into a sizable mind-node within the web of the mindshare with new goals in mind.
Malachy is a weak boy who got caught up in the Gallic invasion. Originally from Leeds, he was forced to flee to Liberty with his sister, Marisa, went to Liberty to join the fight against the Gauls. Malachy didn't know what to do with himself so went to follow his sister and joined the Liberty Navy. After years of service, he decided to transfer to the Armed Forces after his contract with the Navy went up. He held the rank of Commander, running operations in Leeds and it's surrounding systems. But with the war over and his home lost it was time for something new.
Malachy is afflicted by Leeds' heavy industrial smog, causing him to be more frail than most. Coughing plagues his body though there's nothing medically wrong with him. He's able to meet pilot standard only barely, and has problems keeping up in fighter fights. While he's not able to compare to most snub pilots, he does boast a more strategic mindset.
So yeah, this is a little character I came up with when a few of us wanted to go mercing. But I would like to say a few things about Merlin.
Yes, he is a cat.
No, he is not a furry.
He can only say "Miaou", which is french for "Meow".
He talks through a voice translator when possible, mostly text.
Something else.
Basically, Merlin was more of a comedic character starting off. He fled from Gallia after being some sort of military experiment and found himself in Liberty. Not knowing anything else but fighting, he is trying to become a mercenary for the Navy and possibly settle down there as well.
