Seraph

FORT’s combat specialist. He’s a little flighty and can be hard to understand at times, but he has a good heart. Always willing to listen to criticism and offer genuine critiques on simulated combat, he’s one of FORT’s most well-loved Antis. He's close with Echo, often asking her to help modify the training arena for new scenarios as new information about Ennea's current geography comes in. Previously, he piloted a CLASS and worked on the frontlines to seek out information about humanity, but a particularly harrowing mission caused him to change his occupation to something less dangerous. He refuses to speak of it in public.

Seraph’s heart is in the right place, and some say he embodies the best aspects of his creators. Very good at thinking on the fly, and even better at helping others to realize their full potential, he's an excellent teacher and some older Anti say that the training area has never been in a better state even despite the ambush. He doesn’t talk about his past now, but everyone knows that he used to be a decorated CLASS pilot - and he knows how to operate every type of suit to its fullest potential, which is what part of makes him the best match for the position of Combat Specialist. An early model, he can be upbeat to the point of being a little overbearing, but sometimes seems a bit…lost. It’s known around the base that he feels uncertain about his existence and isn’t sure if he really belongs anywhere now, especially since the single directive he does have was programmed into him by Echo, and he doesn’t seem to be good at figuring out what he personally wants.

In contrast to his more public persona, when he’s alone he’s been spotted sitting in locations that now go unused – like the old mess hall – and, very quietly, singing the war songs that Anti used to sing together in groups to raise morale. He lost a lot of friends in both drops and the ambush, and it seems like it’s been hard for him to find his place again even if he won’t actually show that. Sounds that are similar to the Light make him flinch, even when they are just simulated, and he’s very clearly got parts that aren’t his originals. Seraph isn’t his original name, and while there’s rumors about who he used to be, no one aside from Alias knows for sure.
