AD 2009 - The human race first encountered an alien race. The Space War which followed with this race of giants, known as the Zentradi, nearly devastated the Earth.

2010 - The war ended. In April of that same year, a new United Earth government was inaugurated and humans began to follow the path of coexistence with the alien Zentradi. Those Zentradi who wished to use micron technology to return their bodies to human size.

2011 - The Earth UN Government launched a deep space colonization plan for the purpose of preserving the species.

2012 - The extreme long-range transport Megaroad One set out, carrying the first colonists.

2030 - The gigantic Megaroad-class ships were replaced by the first of the super high-capacity New-Macross class colonization ships, whose fleets were capable of carrying up to one million colonists.

2045 - The Protodevlin war occurs

2059 - The Macross Frontier Fleet encounters biomechanical aliens known as the Vajra and a large scale conflict between the Frontier Fleet and the Vajra breaks out.

2061 - Signs of a new danger is on the horizon.......

The 40th Long-Distance Colony Fleet also known as the Macross Voyager fleet, on the surface it's not much different than most other Macross fleet out there, though like many things in this universe there is much more to it than meets the eye. Underneith the part that looks like just another colony fleet lies it's true purpose, the main base of a group known as Dusk. It is a group that has existed since humanity's initial voyage with the SDF-1 Macross with the mission of eliminating any sign of danger that could induce mass panic. Put simply if there was a cover up regarding extra terrestrial beings, they were behind it. They are a group that doesnt officially exist at only a few people outside of the organization are actually aware of them and often those that discover them meet with an untimely end.

The Shadows, Dusk's private army which is often responsible for the various cover ups throughout history. Just like Dusk their existence is generally unknown to pretty much everyone that isnt affiliated with it and those that stumble across it tend to dissapear. For the most part they use dark colored variable fighters that have been optimized for speed and power as well a sporting a cloaking technology of sorts which allow them to quickly accomplish missions and leave nothing but rumors of mysterious dissapearing Valkyries behind. While many have gone down in history for their exploits during the various conflicts the names of the heroes among the Shadows remain completely unknown despite the fact that they often deal with vicious threats long before those same historical figures even see them.

The Nautiloids, massive creatures which resemble an earth creature known as the Nautilus, which dwell in space and seem to have a taste for both humans and zentradi resulting in them being rawn toward various Macross fleets. To avoid mass panic they have been designated as the Shadows' latest target.

Fighter mode
GERWALK Mode
Originally built and used by the Macross Galaxy fleet, a large number of VF-27 machines were aquired by Dusk and were optimized for the Shadows, resulting in a version known as SVF-27 Specter. Like most Shadows variable fighters it has been equipped with a cloaking device of sorts which renders them invisible for a limited amount of time. In addition the cyberspace interfact used by the original version has been replaced with a more traditional piloting system, though cyborg pilots can have the cyberspace interface re-installed.

Here is my profile as an example

Name: Seth Felgrand

Age: 21

Race: Zentradi/Human halfbreed

Appearance:

Cybernetic Implants: No

History: The Shadows have two different methods to recruit new members, one is they find you and make you join and the second is someone sees them, and is offered the choice of joining or dieing in order to keep their existence secret. Seth ended up joing them with the second method when he did what they considered impossible. Originally he was a freelance journalist that utilized a customized VF-19 equipped with a large gun-like camera in order to photograph strang occurences in space, but that all changed on one fateful day. While zooming around and looking for anything remotely interesting to photograph he found himself faced with a rather large and irritable Nautiloid which he promptly attempted to run away from, after snapping a few pictures that is. Soon after that a group of VF-27s appeared out of nowhere and made short work of the beast, and as they dealt with the Nautiloid Seth took the opportunity to take some highly valuable pictures of the rumored dissapearing Valkyries before quickly leaving under the impression that he hadnt been scene.

He had every intention of going public with his findings and profiting quite a bit from them, but unfortuneately for him the Shadows were much more effcient than he had expected them to be and less than half an hour after he returned home he was knocked out and taken to the Macross Voyager fleet. With a gun pointed at his hea he was given a simple choice, join or die. Not quit ready to accept death he had decided to become apart of the Shadows.

At this point he has served with the Shadows for about a year and now resides in the Macross Voyager fleet where he is under constant surveilance by his fellow Shadows members in order to garuntee that what he knows remains classified. Truthfully he despises their policy of keeping secrets from people and believes that if the people knew about these things they would be more adequately prepared for them, but with others constantly watching him he cant do much about that just yet.

As a pilot his abilities are decent due to his days of using his custom VF-19, though his combat abilities are below average at best, but thanks to the weapons of the SVF-27 Specter even someone with his lack of combat skill can do a fair amount of damage.

Name: Alva Jaeger

Age: 21

Race: Human

Appearance:
1280by10245571522008080yg5.jpg


Cybernetic Implants: Yes

History: Alva's "career" with the Shadows started 3 years ago, when he was 18 and still part of another Macross-class colonization ship, the Macross 9. He was a fighter pilot who fought to defend the people on that ship, which included his family, and his then girlfriend, Shara. Assigned to a VF-17, things were pretty uneventful for the Macross 9, as it didn't run into any Protodevlin or other hostile alien forces.

That was until a certain day. On this day, during a routine patrol with his squad, the Macross 9 came under attack by an unknown alien presence. When standard communications didn't work, Alva's squad went into action...with little success. When all was said and done, the Macross 9 was reduced to nothing, with basically all occupants on board dead. As for Alva, he was adrift in space, barely alive and his Valkyrie in tatters. If the Shadows didn't come at that moment and picked up his Valkyrie, he would have died that day.

But the Shadows didn't save him to be generous. They knew he had seen something he shouldn't have. So, they presented him the option of joining them, or death. He chose to join them, hoping that he would get his chance to avenge his family and lover sometime down the road. Little did he know, that he would be able to do just that...

Alva has cybernetic implants now, which were able to save his life thanks to the ordeal he went through. His Valkyrie therefore has the cyberspace interface equipped. Due to his previous piloting experience as a part of the Macross 9 fleet, he is more than a capable fighter, and he is only getting better as time goes on. As for his personality...well, being silent seems to fit it. He doesn't say much unless he feels the need to. You would think he would be angry at his situation, but he isn't. Instead, he is just patiently waiting until he can get his revenge for his fleet.

Name: Rodry Kaltesk

Age: 18

Race: Human

Appearance:
cyborg_girl_by_Malja.jpg


Cybernetic Implants: Yes...and lots of them

History:"My name is Rodry Kaltesk, thirteen years old, female, my arm was replaced when I was six," was all anyone could get out of her when Shadow found her. Where they found her was a macross class ship, wrecked to what most would consider unlivable conditions. Yet they found her, alive and whole, albeit with a few scratches. Everyone else onboard when the Nautiloid had attacked was either crushed beneath debri, or nowhere anyone could find them.

When she regained enough self to answer the simple question of whether she wanted to life or die...she spoke in a way to shocked them and said, "Now that's a silly question to ask. If given a choice, any sane person would instinctively say yes...and I'm perfectly sane, so yes." It turned out her entire logical side of the brain was replaced with mechanical components when she was ten, and when it had all happened, her mind went into a "safe mode" repeating the most relevent information it could find if people needed to help her.

Her body continued to grow and Shadow had to replace the components and even upgrade them when she found her reactions "insufficient" when it came to training exercises and actual missions. Currently several of her internal organs are mechanical replacements, among which is her right lung that she crushed in a crash landing. Along with those internal changes, she had her own head structure altered both for more storage space, as well as retrieval should they require it. However all of these changes only make them wonder just how much of her "humanity" is actually left inside there. Four out of five times, excluding missions and training, she behaves like a normal person and gets happy, sad, mad, etc. yet it used to be seven out of eight, then six out of seven, five out of six...and now this.

However while she would accomplish directives without fail, even at the expense of an arm or a leg, she is often kept out of the field to help make repairs on the SVFs. Suffice it to say, an arm that you can mangle in a turbine and replace without even blinking is far more useful in the dangerous repairs of the Valkyries than in combat.
 
Name: Malek Frentzen

Age: 20

Race: Human

Gantz___Kei_Kurono_by_weem.jpg


Cybernetic Implants: None

History: Malek grew up on the Macross 9, and struggled throughout most of there life to make ends meat. Malek's dad had to work two jobs, and his mom worked one, but had long hours. The two were barely ever around all Malek really ever could do was dream, and go to school. Malek's life grew more, and more complicated as he grew older, because he began to have interest in Valkryies. When Malek was fifteen a friend of his uncle would let him fly in simulators. Malek's interest in Valkyries grew, and grew, and by the time he was eighteen he recruited himself into the army.

Malek's skills were above average, but weren't great compared to other pilots in the military, but one mission Malek noticed a dark purple Valkyrie, and it puzzled him, so he decided to go after the Valkyrie. Malek had a hard time keeping up with the purple Valkyrie, and he had a very hard time matching its maneuvers Malek knew this pilot's skills were above his. Malek then changed into Gerwalk mode, and send a message saying," Stop now or you will be shot down." The purple Valkyrie swiftly lifted upwards, and then changed into mecha mode, and open fire on Malek. Malek swiftly changed into fighter mode, and boosted forwards. The purple Valkyrie changed into fighter mode, and boosted towards Malek opening fire on him, and Malek then got a incoming message that had a scrambled voice that said," Your skills need some work, but if you join us then you won't die here." Malek sent a message," What do you mean die here." Malek changed into Gerwalk mode, and turned around to open fire on the purple Valkyrie, but he was now above Malek, and there was no where he could run. Malek then sent a message, and said," Ok I'll join."

It has been two years since Malek has been working for The Shadow's, and his skills have increased since joining, but time will only tell on how much his skills can grow.
