Characters of the Atlantic Republic

Main Character

Name: Ciro Aerinaio
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Occupation: Privateer
Home-Nation: The Atlantic Republic of Nueve Italia

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 172 lbs.

Appearance (http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11420185/Patchwork_Bomber_Jacket.jpg)

Weaponry: A semi-automatic .45 pistol. Nothing special.

Plane: Ciro, being a respected Ace of the Atlantic Republic, was given a gift by its newest Aircraft maker, Franco Manufacturers. The fighter he received was quite advanced; In fact, only 1 exists in the entire world. It was a project that the founder of Franco Manufacturers had been working on for years before he even made it into the Aircraft industry, and he decided to produce one for the Atlantic Republic's very own buccaneer.

So, proudly, Aldo Franco handed over the world's only E2G Aquila Mk. I.

The E2G Aguila Mk. I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Pancake)
_____

Skills:
Acrobatics- Ciro is a master at rolling and pitching his plane back and forth. Easily able to fake a death-dive, many opponents have met their end by watching his E2G seemingly spiral endlessly to its demise, only to see the same Royal Blue fighter on their tail, all six machine guns lit up.

Persuasion- Who says every skill has to be related to air combat? Ciro has a way of getting what he wants, when he wants, but no one ever said he was rude about it. Learning the subtle arts of diction, syntax, presence, posture, and speech, Ciro has often been able to convince others to help them help him. While some see this as a waste of time, the privateer will account to many a time where his life was saved through talking, not shooting.
_____

Bio: Ciro Aerinaio was a hobby-pilot for much of his life: his early fascination with planes and the sky made for a natural passion to learn to fly, and learn he did.

Although he was far too young to fight in the Great War, Ciro actually learned how to fly a plane working for his father's company as an Air Mail carrier before he even learned how to drive a car. His father, a respected banker on Wall St., allowed his son to continue his pursuit of the sky, and life couldn't have been better for the Aerinaio family.

Ciro was 23 when the Crash happened. His father lost absolutely everything, and the young Aerinaio was shocked to learn that his father leapt from his skyscraper-office rather than face humiliation and poverty.

From that day on, life became a constant struggle for Ciro. He wandered around what would soon become the Atlantic Republic, doing odd jobs for everyone and everything, until he got another shot to climb in the cockpit.

The turning-point event was in 1931, when the Atlantic Republic was first formed and defending itself from the inside against vicious and lethal Sky Pirate attacks. New York, seen as a political and economic capital, came under constant siege from pirates looking to get rich quickly by striking at Zeppelins belonging to big-time industry owners, politicians, and the like.

The New York Air Militia, known as the "Sons of Sicily", were formed to combat this threat. They piqued Ciro's interest right from the get go, and within a month of hearing of the squadron, 2nd Lieutenant Aerinaio (promoted merely due to lack of pilots) was flying in a GAW A2 Guerriero Mk. III and gaining his first 5 kills: Ace in a Day.

From there, Ciro went on further with the Sons of Sicily, becoming a Squadron Leader and launching raids of his own against Pirate bases and zeppelins. Later in the year, Ciro left the Squadron to go out on his own, and was credited with over 95 aerial victories during his term of service.

When Ciro left the New York Militia, he was quickly asked to entertain a request by the Atlantic Republic's High Senator, Mr. Antonio Andollinni. Ciro met with him, and they discussed an agreement between the pilot and the nation: Ciro would be issued a Letter of Marque and allowed to Privateer on any enemy of Nueve Italia legally, and be paid quite well to do so.

Unable to resist such a tempting offer, and seeing it as a start to gaining back the fortune his father lost, Ciro agreed. Once again, he was called to duty, but on his own terms, as he fought against even more Sky Pirates with the assistance of other Privateers or local militias. He was given an experimental aircraft by Franco Manufacturers for his service in defending the company from a raid, and it is the one Ciro is currently seen flying.

Time will only tell what Ciro plans to do with the rest of his life, but he is sealed in the history books as one of the Atlantic Republic's greatest fighter pilots.

Name: Aramius Hawk
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Occupation: Commander of the Confederate Air Force of Wyoming
Home-Nation: Wyoming

Hair Colour: Jet Black
Eye Colour: Piercing Light Blue
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 72kg

Appearance: A tall, imposing & severe figure that exudes discipline & charisma. Muscular, but not bulky. Almost always seen in either his dress uniform (Black shirt, Black Vest with Red Stripe holding rank & medals, Black pants & Black Boots, Black Officer's Cap with Red Mid-Band) or his flight uniform (Black flight vest with flak jacket, black helmet, black flight trousers, black flight boots). ALWAYS wears a pair of black gloves.

Bio: Aramius Hawk was born a totally loyal Wyomingite, at the turn of the century. He was raised in the 'golden days' of the United States, and had practically everything he could have wanted. It was only after he had come of age & the First World War had ended that things changed.

With the Great Depression, Aramius learned firsthand how to ensure your own survival & success. He learned to be smart & strong both physically & mentally. It was only after Wyoming had seceded from the Union that he decided he knew what he was going to do; he joined the newly formed Confederate Air Force.

At the time, the Confederate Air Force was nothing more than a few old crop-dusters mounted with ancient MGs. However, in his position as Head of Logistics, Lieutenant Aramius managed to change things quickly, and soon the Confederate Air Force had it's first squadron of fighters.

Within a few years of intense work, including a tour of duty as a Squadron Leader, Lieutenant Aramius Hawk had become Commander Aramius Hawk. The fledgling Wyoming Confederate Air Force, while still small, had become a well-trained, elite corps of fliers, augmented by a trio of heavily outfitted combat Zeppelins, and Aramius had found himself juggling the roles of Administrator, Fleet Commander & Squadron Leader all at once.

_____

Name: Doctor Arthur Yanworks
Nickname: Dull Jack
Gender: Male
Age: Mid 50’s
Occupation: Researcher for the Confederacy’s R&D department
Home-Nation: Dakota Confederacy

Hair-Color: Gray
Eye-Color: Hazel
Height: 5’3 (1.6 m)
Weight: 140 lb (63.5 kg)

Biography: Arthur Yanworks was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to the family of Professor Maxamillian Yanworks, with his mother dying in childbirth. Raised in a single-child home, Arthur had little influence outside of his father. Thusly, Arthur imitated the actions of his scholarly father and attended to his studies above all else, neglecting everything else. This eventually caused him to earn the rather fitting nickname “Dull Jack”, a reference to the saying “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Although his personality may have suffered, Arthur’s diligence earned him a place at the prestigious North Dakota University when he was only sixteen years old. While at NDU, Arthur pursued a Doctorate in Engineering, earning it at the young age of twenty-four. After leaving, Arthur was quickly employed by a building firm. Nine years later, with the advent of Wright Aeronautical, Arthur quit his job at the firm and joined the aeronautics company as an engineer. From then on, he served the Dakotan branch of the company through its different mergers, until 1930. With the dissolution of the Union and the creation of the Dakota Confederacy, Arthur left the company, and went to work for the Research and Development department of the Dakota Confederacy.
