<strong>Name:</strong>Maxine "Max" Cosinara<br/><strong>Callsign:</strong>Phade<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Human<br/><strong>Sex:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Age:</strong>24<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>VF-1/5 Pilot<br/><strong>Rank:</strong>1st Lieutenant.<br/><strong>Description:</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Max Cosinara</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f3/Max_Cosarina_-_Macross.jpeg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/28/Max_Cosarina_-_Macross_Dress.png)(https://myanimelist.net/images/characters/4/34461.jpg)</div></div>Max is of average height with strong athletic build fit the fighter pilot physique well.  Max is a huge fan of the color purple, usually seen with a purple flight suit and chances are she's got her VF painted purple if the techs in the hangar have found the time.  She's got piercing reddish brown eyes that many believe are synthetics, hers are completely natural.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>The daughter of Commander Clara Cosinara, an operations officer for a UN Spacey Destroyer during the war.  Her father was Lieutenant Dell Raga, a MBR-04-Mk VI Tomahawk pilot assigned to Clara Cosinara's destroyer.  During the war, they spent a lot of time coordinating combat missions, and eventually began spending their free time together, sneaking meetings during lulls in combat.  Maxine or Max was conceived in one such lull on the eve of a critical battle that almost destroyed the ship, forcing it back to spacedock.  In the time the destroyer was in space dock, the war began to wind down.  Max grew up in a military life, her mother retiring from the service when she turned ten.  Her father was promoted to Lt Commander and eventually put in charge of helping integrate Zentradi micronized soldiers, technology and battle tactics into the service.  Living with the military influence all around her and being the daughter of military officers for parents, Max never really looked in any other direction when trying to figure out the life ahead of her.  Taking her first ride in a full size Zentradi Battle Pod at age 14 and a VF-1 at the age of 16, as a present for being accepted into the academy; there was little doubt in Max's mind where her dreams lay.  Max had never been super studious during school, always deferring to natural talent, she realized talent wasn't going to get her through the academy...not if she wanted to be a pilot.  The year Max entered the Academy, her father was killed in a training accident, leaving her and her mother to get by.  Max dedicated all of her attention to making her father proud by becoming the top graduate in her academy class.  Sacrificing the usual social interactions one has during their time at the academy to dedicate herself to her studies, Max gained a reputation for being a bit of an arrogant snob who cared more about her position in class than the people around her.  During the middle of her Junior year Max and another cadet had a major fight which almost resulted in the loss of two training aircraft.  At the behest of her instructors, Max's mother helped Max to prioritize her focus, helping her realize that her people were just as important to her success as her skill.  Max graduated the next year second in her class but had repaired a number of relationships.<br/><br/>Assigned to a VF-1 squadron, she quickly showed her skill and understanding of the VF-1 systems.  After a number of small skirmishes and combat tours against rogue Zentradi rebels and pirates, Max was eventually promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and flight lead.  A year later, faster than most of her peers, she was promoted to a flight instructor and qualified on the VF-5.  Close on the heels of her promotion to flight instructor she was promoted to Lieutenant.<br/><br/><strong>Your 3 best attributes / skills:</strong>Max connects with her VF like it's an extension of her body, her mind is quick when it comes to capabilities and tactics and she is a pretty good Violin player.<br/><strong>Your 2 worst attributes / skills:</strong>Max is terrible in hand to hand combat.  Anything that involves fighting outside of a mecha is hard for her.  Max sometimes has trouble relating to people.  Her natural technical skill means she is more comfortable around her mecha than around some people.  Max is phobic about space walking.  In a Mecha she's fine, but alone in space with nothing but her suit to protect her, she loses her mind.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Max is a very intelligent, intense woman who knows her job well.  She can be demanding when it comes to training, but is in no way a perfectionist.  Her intensity and intelligence is sometimes misread as arrogance.  She makes attempts to be social, attempting to give people around her reason to realize she can actually be very friendly.  When she's not in uniform and not around Mecha, she slows down considerably.  There are a lot of people who believe she's still trying to live up to some false image she had that her father created for her.
