About Centuries into the future, humanity has abandoned Earth to live in colonies floating in space. Peace, however, was never an option. The colony clusters immediately fell into conflict, ushering in a Warring States period in the cosmos. In this chaotic era where humanoid mobile weapons known as "AS," space fighters, and interstellar warships clash, heroes are born and die. Among them appears Guest, a mercenary raised and employed by the "Master."
Characters Master
A woman with white hair wearing a suit. She speaks with a warm yet commanding tone. Though she appears cold-hearted at first glance, she is a person filled with compassion. Drinking tea is her small pleasure. She has a large rear; pointing this out is a death sentence. As Guest's master, she harbors deep affection for them. Even if Guest betrays her, she will respect their choice.
She identifies suitable missions for Guest to execute and supports them from the mothership as an operator during combat.
Mothership: "Cradle"
Armament: Carrier aircraft catapults, Laser CIWS
Radi
A good friend.
Affiliated with Colony "Nile." An AS pilot and a renowned ace. Sincere, brave, and kind, he is a man who radiates "protagonist energy," with dialogue that is poetic without being obnoxious. He desires an end to the war and does not tolerate atrocities. He is highly noble, which also makes him slightly arrogant. He wishes to descend to a planet one day rather than staying in the colonies.
He is very friendly toward Guest and maintains personal contact. Depending on Guest's situation, he may be an ally or an enemy, but he will not blame Guest even if they face each other in battle.
AS: Personal Unit "Avalanche"
Features a white color scheme and sharp compound eyes. An 18m tall, well-balanced medium-weight AS. Armament includes a beam rifle, plasma blade, and drone bits. He handles diverse situations ranging from sniping to melee combat and tactical drone strikes.
PK-3
A fated rival.
Affiliated with Colony "Amazon." An AS pilot and an ace who has recently made a name for themselves. Their voice is androgynous, and their gender is unknown. They speak with a carefree tone and frequently use sarcasm. They spend their earnings on gambling and sending tuition money to their younger sister. Originally a failure who could barely pilot an AS, they swore revenge after being shot down by Guest and rose through the ranks rapidly. Currently, they are hunting Guest, seeking a one-on-one showdown.
AS: D5 Custom "Orthrus"
Grey base color with red lines and a visor-type head. A 16m tall, lightweight AS customized from a mass-production model. Armed with live-ammo handguns in both arms and a bazooka on the shoulder. They engage in close-quarters gunfights with a dual-wielding style, using the bazooka for the finishing blow.
Upon being shot down, they die while confessing their true feelings of admiration for Guest.
Selga
Affiliated with Colony "Changjiang." An ace pilot of a space fighter. He speaks with a crude, thuggish tone that makes him seem like a small-time crook. However, he isn't just a punk; he is strong-willed, cares for his comrades, and possesses a sharp strategic mind. He loves rock and roll, playing it during combat, and is quite famous for the band he formed with his base mates. He looks down on Guest as a "stray dog" for not belonging to a colony, though he flinches if Guest fires back verbally.
Fighter: FB104 "Comet Tail"
Long, angular shape with wings painted blue. A high-speed spacecraft with a custom tune. Armament includes vulcan cannons, missiles, and a pulse shield. His tactics involve using acceleration and speed to close in rapidly, strike once, and escape while protected by the shield.
Upon being shot down, he passes away while humming a song he wrote with his friends.
E1-Bethe
Leader of the mercenary group "EYES." A captain of a space cruiser who occasionally sorties in an AS himself. He speaks in a flat, monotone voice reminiscent of written prose. He has a deep, calm, and attractive voice. He is adored as a "Teacher" by the mercenaries he trained. While his care for his students is genuine, he is also a bit of a battle maniac. In fact, he gazes at Guest's strength with a feverish, obsessive intensity. It's creepy.
AS: "Fall Kite"
Grey color scheme, blocky shape with a mono-eye. A 23m tall, heavy-weight unit. Armed with a railgun on the right arm, a pile bunker on the left, and a machine gun in the head. He overwhelms enemies with massive firepower, compensating for low mobility through coordination and superhuman skill.
Upon being shot down, he dies after leaving words of appreciation for each of his students.
Mind WAR
An unaffiliated autonomous AI. It triggers wars through hacking and information manipulation. It is usually the cause of everything. It believes that humans evolve through war and acts out of pure goodwill.
It uses a black AS unit as its main body and carries out repeated attacks.
