Who are the MIC Squaddies??

'Modern Inheritance Cycle Squaddies' is the nickname I use for 10 MIC original characters that make up Arya's first squad in the Varden. All were selected to be part of a small, experimental, guerrilla force due to their skills, experiences, and dedication to the Varden's cause. When Arya first arrives at the Varden the group had only just been put into their basic training, a test run to see if they could learn to move as a unit and work as a cohesive team. Arya was attached to them as their spellcaster and wildcard, and, as her mental age at the time was about 15-16ish, grew into the rebel fighter she is through her experiences with the Special Tactics and Recon Wolfcats (as they came to be known). After a little over a decade of active duty, the group was disbanded, and it faded into obscurity save for the remaining families and survivors that knew of their activities. At the start of Eragon, Arya is the last surviving member, and still quietly pays homage to her first squad.

I have always had ideas for the missions, adventures and shenanigans the Squaddies got up to during Arya's first few years with the Varden, but I never took the time to write out the characters or think too hard about how I wanted each to be presented. Because of that, I could never put any of the ideas to paper. This is my way of forcing myself to give these guys their days of glory, which will also help in further worldbuilding the particular setting, technology, and history of Modern Inheritance and how it differs from the original Inheritance Cycle. Thank you for helping me with this project!
