Major Asuka Hoshi
Current Assignment: Warsong Corps. Hellscream Lance, first company.
Current Mech: Marauder II (custom)
Asuka is the child of two mech techs in the Wolf's Dragoons who at an early age developed very highly aggressive tendencies. Noting that she had gotten into a knife fight at the age of twelve. Doctors concluded that had she had significantly higher pain tolerance and prone irrational anger by the same hormones, she also developed muscles at quicker rate than usual. Internally among the dragoons they were certain this was due elemental genes in her heritage.
Which in continuation has given her an exceedingly aggressive piloting style. She is known for diving recklessly into enemies and is often described as simply appearing among them and attacking with intense ferocity. Often known to cause panic or crippling coordination within a lance or star.
In person, Asuka appears very tall, by normal human standards anyway she is not near an elemental, with dark brown hair that she has coloured purple ends. Sometimes shifting the exact shade back and forth. She has multiple scars all over her body, several cutting scars in her face that have mostly healed made from knives or shrapnel.
She has been mercenary for a few years save for a few very intense years she was a member of Clan Wolf that she was technically born into but had not had the chance to join them. Regardless that came to an end when her old mercenary unit, the Warsong Corps captured her and claimed her as a bondswoman.
While she and her company has held something of a loyalty towards the Federated Suns, Rasalhague and the Lyran Commonwealth, they rarely enjoy staying for very long in the employ of one. They and she in particular have held a long standing animosity to the Draconis combine despite the fact that Asuka as taken in many teachings of Bushido and buddhist philosophy. She originally claimed that it was part of understanding her enemy. It is now certainly part of her. Her Japanese pronounciation has always been terrible and will likely continue to be. Most who can speak it have asked her to just speak english instead.
She is known to paint mechs in the mercenary company as a hobby, helping and actively making individual colour schemes for members to express their personality. When she is not doing that she sometimes paints with oil colours. Despite fire hazard of the heat her mechs she often brings colours, brushes, cloth, a canvas and an easel with her in the mech if the cockpit allows for luggage. Otherwise she sometimes just takes trips on hapitable planets to find a landscape to paint.
In addition to that she enjoys tinkering with mechanical parts which she often puts effort into working on a car or motorbike for her own amusement. As mechs are not ideal to 'tinker' with in the same way as a car. Not that it has stopped her from sometimes fine tuning it.
Her speech is slow and deliberate more often than not. While she is clearly influnced or even taught Clan styled English once upon a time and often such towards a clanner. She tends to loosen up when among spheroids and using contractions of longer words but maintains choices such as "do not" or "cannot" rather than "don't" or "can't". Her voice tends also to be very flat and monotone. Some people have called it robotic and void of emotions.
