Sophia Academy Faculty/NPCs:


Meet your Headmistress!


Name: Momiji Darlian
Age: 45
Sex: Female
Nationality: Tappan

Physical Description: Momiji is a small woman of Japanese descent. Only 4'10" and weighing 115 pounds, she is often mistaken for someone much younger than she is (much to her chagrin). Her hair is dark brown, although by her own admission she's been dying it to get rid of the onset of gray hair, and her eyes are hazel. She wears the standard female faculty uniform of Sophia Academy, a gray business suit and skirt, and is rumored to have a piercing in an interesting place.

Brief History: The former head of the Tappan Military Industrial Complex, Momiji Darlian is credited with the success of the Mark III series of Walkers (as they were built and produced initially during her time as leader), but she is more well-known for her role in the Southern Pacific War, where she served as the official leader and commander of the Free Tappan forces after Arnesia's occupation of the country. Shortly after the war, and serving a brief term as Tappan's Prime Minister, Momiji earned UN support in forming not only Aeon with the other major world nations, but the founding of Sophia Academy, which she left office to become Headmistress of.

Personality: Momiji is a cunning woman with a keen business and analytical sense that has helped her move through her life and success, but she is better known for her hot-bloodedness and temper as short as she is (special note: don't make fun of her height). As leader of a top secret genetics/eugenics program during her time as head of the TMIC (the Brain Children program), she has developed and honed her skills in dealing with children--which has proven quite useful in her role as Headmistress of Sophia Academy. While she may appear at times cruel and sadistic, or outright frightening when pissed off, she is a caring woman who loves not only her own family and the extended one of the Brain Children Program, but her students at Sophia Academy.

Weapons/Skills/Abilities: Somewhat trained in Aikido and Karate, but has no need for them, as she is almost always followed by and protected by heavily armed, highly skilled bodyguards she all refers to as "Sasuke", in honor of a humorous television show she had watched during long nights as part of the Mark III development team.
Course: None (Headmistress)
Spatial Awareness Level: 2

And her lovely assistant...

Name: Edward Darlian
Age: 41
Sex: Male
Nationality: Tappan

Physical Description: An extremely imposing and intimidating individual phsyically, Edward Darlian towers at 6'11" and weighs at 305 lbs with a muscular (but not ridiculously so) build. His gray eyes, usually bright and friendly, can become cold and piercing in an instant, and he keeps his normally long blond hair tied back in a ponytail to keep it out of his way. He wears the male version of the faculty uniform, a gray business suit--but has been known to lounge around in his civilian clothes.

Brief History: Edward Darlian is the son of a prominent German geneticist and doctor Humboldt Darlian, who pioneered in the fields of Human Genetics in the late 1990s. Because of the controversy and taboos surrounding human genetic research Humboldt took his research from Germany to Tappan, where other geneticists from the world over were gathering to take part in an extremely controversial (and dangerous) Eugenics Project: The Brain Children program. Shortly after his arrival he was courted by Momiji Hyuga, daughter of one of the corporate investors in the project, and eventually married her (despite the fact that at first he mistook her for a grade school student).

Taking over the project after his Father's untimely death in 2002, Edward deferred control to his wife and took a hands on approach to raising the future leaders of Tappan, becoming like a father to the over 40 genetically engineered/enhanced children and earning the respect and loyalty not of the staff but of the Tappanese Government closely eying the project. Following the end of the Southern Pacific War, and the successful completion of the Brain Children Program, Edward happily followed his wife to America, where he became vice-headmaster, school Doctor, and teacher.

Personality: Despite his appearance, Edward is a jolly, at times absent-minded man with a strong paternal instinct. Very slow to anger, he often lets most things slide with a smile on his face, and is rarely ever surprised or taken off guard by even the most bizarre things (a direct result of raising forty genetically engineered children). However on the rare occasions he has been angered, even Momiji's fiery temper is cooled and she is forced to step aside.

Weapons/Skills/Abilities: With several degrees in medicine and an extensive knowledge of the human body, Edward is skilled at Tai Chi, Shiatsu, and the gentlemanly sport of boxing...the third being only used when he is particularly upset.

Course: None (School Doctor)

The Blade that Cuts Injustice
Name: Alejandro Castillo
Age: 29
Sex: Male
Nationality: Spanish

Physical Description: 5'11" 185lbs

Brief History:

Personality: Due to his intense exposure to various disciplines, Alejandro was very much influenced by their codes. While quiet and intense, he can sometimes tend to be very loud or vocal about the power of justice and doing the right thing. And though he holds honor in high regard, he acknowledges that the enemy will not do the same and understands that on the battlefield, sometimes underhanded means are necessary (despite how much it pains him).

Weapons/Skills/Abilities:

Course: Giant Robots and Infantry (Powered Armor and CQC focus)

Spatial Awareness Level: 10

Will fill in the rest later. Just wanted to actually post so I don't forget.

Name: Misao Darlian
Age: 22
Sex: Female
Nationality: Tappan

Physical Description: Much like her mother Momiji, she is a very small woman at 4'11" tall and weighing 132 lbs with a cuddly, curvy figure. Her hair, once dyed a rainbow of colors through her "wild teen years" has since returned to its former chestnut brown, although she still colors the highlights a myriad of colors. Lacking any distinct feature aside from her physical appearance, she does have large breasts (for a girl her height), which she doesn't hesitate to point out to people.

Brief History: The third in the series of Tappan's Brain Children, Misao is the biological daughter of Edward and Momiji Darlian (the only one of the Brain Children who actually is), and arguably the most advanced of them. Growing up in a sealed facility in Tappan's extensive underground military complex with the other 40 children, Misao learned about the world through television, the internet, and the few interactions she had with staff of the facility--which lead to her developing an erratic, eccentric personality

During the Southern Pacific War Misao, the only Brain Child designed with combat in mind, would become one of the leading pilots of the Free Tappan Military that would fight to reclaim their land from Arnesia. Piloting the Mark IV transformable Walker and later the Mark IV-A Support System, she would gain the second highest kill count of the war as a Walker Pilot--scoring the larger portion of her kills in the latter.

Following the end of the war, Misao assisted in the reconstruction of Tappan's infrastructure and military--eventually retiring from the latter with the rank of Brigadier General. She would then accept her Mother's invitation to teach at Sophia Academy, along with her lover from the war.

Personality: Super Intelligent, Eccentric, flighty, wild--those describe Misao Darlian perfectly. Raised on TV, internet, and comic books, she is a classic geek with her affection for all things unconventional and alternative. She also displays an impressive charisma and leadership ability--honed in her years growing up with the forty other Brain Children--which has made her exceptionally popular as both a teacher and a military leader.

As if to spite her gifts and talents, Misao is (by her own admission no less!) a pervert and sexual deviant. This is underscored by the fact that outside of school, Misao runs a sex shop/strip club in the town near Sophia Academy, much to her Mother's (and the school's) chagrin.

Weapons/Skills/Abilities: The Third Brain Child, Misao underwent the absolute maximum engineering prior to birth. As a result Misao's body is heavily modified, especially in the central nervous system and brain, allowing her to think at speeds surpassing a Quantum Super Computer.

Course: Real Robots, Countermeasures

Name: Instructor I
Age: Believed to be Mid 20s
Sex: Male
Nationality: Unknown

Physical Description: 5'10" and weighing an unknown amount (but it is assumed light due to his slim, androgynous figure), his facial features are unknown--his face is hidden behind a helmet that encases his entire face, and blanked out by a glossy black visor.

Brief History: Nothing really is known about Instructor I. He appeared shortly after the school's opening, and quickly proved to be an incredibly skillful and adaptable Walker Pilot, besting even Misao Darlian in a single confrontation. Since then, he has taught at the school, molding and folding perhaps some of the best Walker Pilots in the world.

Personality: A serious, yet somewhat distant individual, Instructor I does not speak often outside of class and prefers to avoid social situations. In class however, he treats his students with the utmost care and respect, encouraging and enabling them by teaching and leading through example--not merely classwork. As a result, he is immensely popular with his students, who refer to him as Instructor I with the utmost respect.

Weapons/Skills/Abilities: A highly skilled Walker Pilot, he also possesses some skill in fighter jets.

Course: Real Robots, Super Robots
