    Owner
    - Mr. Ohara, Rich. Aircraft Enthusiast. Business guy.

    Engineers

    Kibe Koume, 26, Office Manager
    Tiny & angry, Kibe went to school in Albia, picking up the language, the religion, and a fuckload of swear words. Speaks Albian.
    Mechanical +2, Ballistics +1
    Office Manager: If Kibe is not assigned to a team, the Office Stress is reduced by 1.

    Sakane Jun, 26, Second Team Leader
    A soured patriot, Sakane is married and has a young child being raised gender-neutrally. His two brothers who fought in the war.
    Structural +2, Aerodynamics +1
    Team Leader: If there are any additional projects, Sakane will lead them.
    Joinery: Sakane has training in the traditional Akitsukuni carpentry art of joinery, creating complex self-supporting joints with no fasteners or glue. When working with non-monocoque wooden spars or ribs, +1 Structural.

    Tezuka Kenji, ???
    A stoner with occasional flashes of insight. Nobody really knows what he does, but he's probably useful?
    Aerodynamics +2, Chemical +1
    Flashes of Brilliance: Each natural 10 rolled by any team Tezuka is assigned to gives +1 forward to the next research roll.

    Hasegawa Morio, 26
    A hopeless nerd with a photography habit, mostly on account of developing his own film, Hasegawa seems to do nothing but work and stack card houses, but somehow has an incredible attractive boyfriend. Speaks Gallian.
    Chemical +2, Ballistic +1
    Silent Workhorse: Hasegawa can work on two different projects at once for no cost to Office Stress, providing they use different stats.

    Kawamura Yosai, 25.
    Serially successful womanizer and incredibly attractive, Kawamura doesn't seem to have much of a personality outside of seducing women. Well, except for that time he seduced Asuka, which nobody talks about. Speaks Dyske.
    Structural +2, Electrical +1, Social +1
    Easily Distracted: If Kawamura is working on the same team as a female or non-binary employee, the team is at -1d10.

    Koide Hatsu, 24.
    One of the few female graduates of an Akitsukuni engineering school, Koide is brilliant and incredibly driven, but her first job at Akibara was both humiliating and exposed her to an abusive coworker. Her father is a rich businessman with factories in Joseon, and she's engaged to Ken from Castles of Steel. Speaks Joseon.
    Mechanical +2, Structural +1
    No Sleep: If you let her, Koide will work herself to death. She can work a second project for no Office Stress, but all her stats will be reduced to 1 for the routine.

    Kobayashi Ayao, ???
    Disowned heiress of the Kobayashi family, all Kobayashi wanted was a career and to be a modern woman. For her trouble, a cousin threw acid on her, scarring her face, neck, much of her torso, and her left arm. Despite appearing serene and above it all, she's actually an avowed communist activist and baseball player.
    Aerodynamics +2, Social +2

    Adachi Ren, 24
    Adachi learned chemistry from her father, one of the most famous chemical engineers in the country, rather than through formal schooling. She's married, has a kid, and takes spirituality very seriously. Yes, you did the math right, she had Yuki when she was 17. It's 1912, folks.
    Chemical +2, Electrical +1
    Young Mother: Adachi will cause double Office Stress if she has to work multiple tasks.

    Uyeno Sei, Ballistics Engineer, 31.
    The oldest member of the crew, this is Uyeno's second career. Her first was as an officer in the Imperial Navy with specialized technical training: her very promising career was cut short by her transition. Her work in a naval arsenal on machine-guns landed her the job here. Briefly dated Satomi (the age range is a bit creepy but again, 1912), she's missing a piece of her ear and is deaf on that side, from an exploding cannon. Recently returned from Varnmark from experimental surgery, she's known for her skill navigating gendered bureaucracy.
    Ballistic +3

    Mi Kyung-Jae, 23
    A recent graduate of the Imperial College of Heijo, Mi is from the recently annexed territory of Joseon. For those keeping track at home, that means he's a Korean national living in Imperial Japan in 1912. We haven't seen much of his personality because he's rightfully terrified of everything around him. He has a specialty in endurance engine design and modification. Speaks Joseon.
    Mechanical +1, Chemical +1
    Endurance Engines: Mi has an excellent understanding of metallurgy and tolerances. Any engine he works on gains +1 Reliability if a 16+ is rolled.
    Pulsejet Wizard: Mi is now one of the world's leading experts on the pulsejet engine. He can be given his own project to custom-craft pulsejet engines, and he gives +1 to any pulsejet-related project.
    Joseon National: Mi does not have security clearance to work on any top-secret projects.

    Miyoshi Shigeri, 23.
    A non-binary person and admirer of Asuka's work, they were in an support role in the Army before joining the company.
    Structural +1, Mechanical +1, Aerodynamic +1
    Mechanic: Miyoshi has some experience repairing and refurbishing aircraft. They get +1 if assigned on the clean-up phase.


    Other Employees
    - Ohara Satomi, 22, Mr. Ohara's niece and the company test pilot, Ohara is a general lesbian disaster. She's good at flying planes, driving cars, and kissing girls. She's bad at being patient, being respectable, and sticking to literally anyones conceptions of gender roles. Deeply in lesbians with Coralie D'Amboise.
    - Fujkikawa Sotatsu, old, modelmaker. He's an old man and toymaker and we don't see much of him because he locks himself in his workshop a lot. He's friends with Kawamura?

    - Yamanaka Hajime: Kobayashi engineer. Young and eager.
    - Igarashi Masazumi: Kobayashi engineer. Reserved and experienced.
    - Admiral Akibara Toru: Imperial Navy Admiral. Maximum nepotism. Maximum douchebag.
    - Lt.Cmnd Akibara Shinzo: The above's son. A hottie but very forward.



    Character Families
    - Matsura(?) Mizuko: Asuka's sister. Was paralyzed in an accident in Asuka's first flight. Lives Elsewhere and is married now. Can't forgive Asuka, even though she's tried.
    - Adachi Motoki: Adachi's husband, an accountant. Legally blind.
    - Adachi Yuki: Adachi's 7 year old daughter and wannabe pilot. Very adorable.
    - Yachi's Brother: Exists.
    - Sakane's Wife: Exists. Drives him a bit crazy, but he loves her.
    - Yachi's Brother's Wife: Exists. Is statistically likely to be pregnant.
    - Lt. Coralie D'Amboise: Gallian pilot in exile. Satomi's girlfriend. 25. Accomplished bisexual duelist. She flew in the war for a single day, and for her troubles got a hole blown in her cheek and had her left arm paralyzed.

    Akisukuni Army & Ex-Army
    - Lt. Torio Tanaka: Yachi's former observer as an enlisted man. Was jumped up to fly Ducks and lost a leg on his first mission. A trained painter, married to Torio Saya.
    - Captain Amari Shiro: A Dragonfly pilot who ended up flying as Yachi's partner. Kind of delightfully twinky. They sorta slept together at one point, which wasn't great. He lost his previous boyfriend in the April Offensive and turned his plane into a shrine. He was shot in the gut and is still recovering.
    - Major Izuhara: Logistics officer, Imperial Army, this bespectled officer stood up to the Caspian Crown Prince and accidentally kicked off the Akitsikuni-Caspian War. The guilt was so much that, after almost a year of running Army procurement, he shot himself in a phone both.
    - Captain Nakai Sekien: Army scout pilot. First person to drop a bomb from an airplane, later head of the Duck Squadrons.
    - Captain Teshima: A Desk pilot that fought with Yachi. Lost an arm in the process, took over for Major Izuhara after his death. Seems cheery despite it all.
    - Captain Nashio: A real piece of shit dude and probably a rapist, he's also a war hero as the second-highest scoring ace on the Akitsukuni side. He was a young shitty kid in way over his head but it's no excuse.
    - Lt. Kinjo: Kind of a dumb lump and Nashio's friend, one of the desk pilots. Dead at 19.
    - Lt. Okazaki: Yachi's friend from before the war and pilot, he died in a spin in his dragonfly. His death probably hit Yachi the hardest.

    I would seriously disagree with this bit. Stark's character development is bog standard.

    Powerful man laid down by his own hubris is a bit of a standard issue trope. It was well executed, but it's still a dime-a-dozen origin story.

    I'm curious as to how much attention you were paying to the character development given that, by your own admission, you weren't that interested in the scenes where it's most apparent. Considering that you didn't even know the explicitly stated genders of two viewpoint characters... You'll have to excuse me for being dubious of any criticisms you may make.

    And also... What does Tony Stark have to do with anything? Their character arcs aren't the same, their goals aren't the same, there is nothing comparable between their characters other than "is male". If you're going to make a comparison like that, please substantiate it.
     
    Mmmm, there is a common thread. They're all prideful asses who are laid low and become better people through it. But...honestly, it's pretty tired and done at this point. Especially with Tony Stark because it seems he needs to go through the cycle every movie he's in. There are other forms of character development, you know?

    The character arc here with our flyboy is much more interesting. He starts pretty young, idealistic, with a deep love of flying, and then we see how the war tears away at him, and his efforts to hold onto himself. His arc isn't even done, we've barely moved passed the second nadir (his inability to get up and fly one more mission and the consequences from that, the first being that suicidal letter he sent). We're just stepping into the...mmmm...rewarding part of his character arc, where he rebuilds himself. It's not going to be pretty, or easy, or have any cheap power fantasy payback, but it's going to more meaningful, and real, and ultimately powerful for that.

    All the characters are remaining flat, they are not evolving to suite their surroundings, they hold no opinions. Character development is driven by the choices one character makes (us) but from every non aircraft or battle related decision we make Yachi and Matsura remains the same people, still flat, even if tropes are the same making people evolve is still better than a stagnant and stale character. I love reading about interesting characters and their development but if there is little to none I lose interest, it feels so mechanical. Where is the internal and external conflict, the goals and aspirations, the beliefs and principles integral to the character, they lack humanity is all I am saying.

    There was nothing to break down, he had no opinions integral to his person, I would have wanted Yachi to subscribe to some radical ideology like communism by the terrible experiences he has from war, conflict and friction with the apolitical Matsura. Characters actually having friction between their previous and current beliefs so we can experience an actual and substantive evolution of the character.

    Right, so you cannot read critically and are incapable of both noticing Yachi's opinions (because he doesn't stand and shout them I suppose) and how they've radically changed over the course of the story. Got it, was just checking.
     
    Multiposting draws the ire of the mods. please don't lure them here.

    Could you please get your story straight? As I said before: you missed the genders of two viewpoint characters, both of which were very obviously stated. If you've missed such major details, how can you possibly make a critcism of the characters? How can you state they're lacking when you aren't reading half the quest?
     
    while i appreciate the criticism, two things. firstly, the story isn't over. secondly, the sort of dramatic turnarounds of characters into new forms from events are not going to be a common part of this quest because this quest isn't trying for that kind of dynamic. yachi is going through that right now and it took a year at war.

    like, quickly, i tried to bootstrap a structure the letters and yachi segments around showing him losing faith in things one by one. his country (as the war drags), his friends (as he loses them and they are replaced with assholes like nashio), his love of flying (which he has soured on by the time the dragonfly arrives), his partner (in the letter) and finally, as he breaks down, himself.

    now comes the part where he remakes himself. it's a slow burn. this isn't a two hour story for a movie, and if this was a games of thrones we're like a third of the way into book one.

    as for asuka, i've made it clear several times that their part of the story is based on the movie The Wind Rises. Jiro in that movie had a flat arc where he goes from loving making planes for the art and being ambivalent to their use in war to loving making planes for the art and resenting their use in war.

    this is not a bad thing. flat characters have their uses. and the use here is that asuka will stay the same, but the world will change around them and ask them to change, sometimes in grotesque ways. the trick is going to be holding on to who they are, because they are like who they are, as the wind rises.

    Yeah.

    I mean, if I was all like "wait shit, Yachi is a man?" as if this was a thing I had not previously known...

    I would have to be pretttty arrogant to then immediately say "also Yachi's character arc is weak." Because if I missed the part where he's, like, a man, what else about his character might I not know?

    In this case there's a lot. Like Yachi's budding political fanaticism getting completely obliterated by an avalanche of kill-and-kill-again warfare, his struggles with the self-loathing and numbness of being effectively an assassin of enemy pilots, the sheer number of his old friends who are dead and his survivor's guilt associated with same, and the way he's now trying to struggle back to some semblance of functionality in a world that only barely knows how to cope with shell shock.

    All of which are LESS directly and unambiguously stated about Yachi than "he's a dude."
     
    Hey! I'm normally a lurker here, and I only really comment on very important votes, but I feel like with the current conversation, I should just say how much I'm enjoying this quest, @open_sketchbook.

    I originally became interested due to the alt-earth setting, but I've come to thoroughly enjoy the character development. I think you've done a real great job of subtly exploring the psychological consequences of war on a wide variety of people. There's a brutal casualness to your descriptions of peoples' experiences that really drives things home. It hurts to read sometimes, but that's the point.

    I can understand why some people wouldn't get that subtlety. Current pop culture has relinquished all sense of subtlety, and tends to drive points home with a sledgehammer instead- recent shows and movies have been made with the expectation that their audience is stupid & won't understand the themes otherwise, and in doing so they condition us TO be stupid. You've managed to avoid that trap however, and I personally really appreciate that fact.

    I also want to thank you for exploring non-binary experiences to the work. As a straight white dude, it's a relatively unfamiliar world to me, and its helping me better understand the experiences of a few people I know. That has a lot of value in my opinion.

    So yeah. Thanks. :)
     
    Rule 2: Referring to a character's extensive PTSD (and thereby implicitly the concept of PTSD itself) as "feeling sorry for himself" is not okay.

    They could be dragons or dogs for all I care, the fact of the matter is they are not interesting to read. You say I missed half the story, what story exactly, what changed in Yachi the idealist, he joined the military and fought what did he expect those guns on the plane are for decoration? where is his idealism, he does not refuse orders and sees the war throughout its entirety and just suffering all throughout it then feel sorry for himself afterwards, you say he loves flying then he gives it up, his decisions are counter to his stated character. Take ww2 for example shooting pilots that have ejected is frowned upon by people in aviation, yet when orders state otherwise most refuse to do so, showing principle, you join the military to protect your country but hold no quams about attacking other countries for materials gain, you are in a relationship with a military aeronautics designer and see first hand the planes you would be flying yet it seems alright for you. Its hard to follow a person that has seen little conflict with his own principles and actually act counter to them.

    Given that Yachi suffers from extensive PTSD, you are effectively making light of the entire concept of PTSD by referring to it as "feeling sorry for himself". That is not okay by any means. Consider having a little more sensitivity next time, yeah?

    Until then, however, take 25 points and a 3-day threadban under Rule Two.

    I would also like to take this time to remind everyone—though for most of you it appears, thankfully, incredibly unnecessary, for which you have my sincere appreciation—that in this thread, and on this forum, and ideally in the wider world, we do not find it difficult to refer to people by their requested pronouns, on account of the fact that it is not actually difficult at all.

    What IS a yeet?

    I'd put the meaning closer to "launch" probably. Which means if we get to the point of having aircraft carriers, they will yeet our planes into the sky.
