During her first year of training Marie had difficulty adjusting to the militarian environment of the program and following the strict procedures and protocols of ADAMS, though she eventually learned to conform to what was expected of Grigori pilots. After her first year of training Marie's ambition to become a designated pilot swelled; she became determined and focused. Marie was bestowed with a variety of nicknames during training, most harping on her hair color or her young age. Though her primary nickname was Cherry. The event that bestowed her the nickname of Cherry has turned into a decades long running inside joke within the Grigori Program. During a sexual health awareness discussion hosted by the Healthcare and Medical Science department for pilots and trainees a 17 year old Marie responded to a question she didn't know the answer to by saying it didn't apply to her because she'd never had sex and wouldn't be having it with anyone in ADAMS. This wildly sidetracked the discussion and mostly turned it into various pilots giving detailed recounts of their first sexual experiences. It was an HR nightmare.  <br/><br/>Her extroverted personality made connecting with other trainees easy and she quickly established numerous compatible fidelities. She was 19 when she received piloting clearance and her first assignments as a Grigori pilot was to assist the final testing stages of Unit 00-Azazel's upgrades. She was one of the first few pilots to operate Unit 00-Azazel in combat missions against demon spawn. At the age of 22 Marie became an Ace Grigori pilot while operating Unit 00-Azazel. For well over a decade Marie was active as a pilot and participated in numerous successful combat missions. She excelled in operating TT armaments, conventional armaments, and movement. She was killed in action in 2096 while co-piloting Unit 00-Azazel with Ignatius Bennett in battle against the demon Beliel.<br/><br/><strong>PILOTING CLEARANCE</strong>: Unit 00-Azazel. Unit 01-Samyaza.<br/><strong>SYNCHRONIZATION HISTORY</strong>: Natural synchronization rating was 16%. Her highest synchronization rating reached was at 52% during her fatal mission battling the demon Beliel. Marie had an average synchronization of 47% that reliably rose during combat. She was the first pilot in history to reach a 50% synchronization rating.<br/><br/><strong>LEGACY</strong>: Marie's iconic natural red hair, extroverted personality, and loyalty to the program made her a prominent pilot in the media and her name became synonymous with Unit 00-Azazel. During her long career the Public Relations of ADAMS considered her one of their darlings due to her impressive piloting skills, her ease with public speaking, and her humble background as an orphan of a demon spawn attack who spent her life being juggled through foster care. Marie volunteered to have a synchronization rating test on her sixteenth birthday and was directly quoted as saying being drafted on her sweet sixteen was the best birthday present she ever received. ADAMS has frequently exploited this story in propaganda to encourage enlistment into the Grigori Program. Within ADAMS Marie had a reputation for being a flirt, but her reputation for being loyal to her husband was just as well known. Marie met Laustin in 2085 and when they later married he took her surname. She was very private about her relationship with Laustin and it was the one aspect of her life that she steadfastly refused to open up about with to the media. Marie had numerous rivalries with other pilots while she was alive. Most of them friendly, though some were intense. She acted as a mentor to many pilot trainees. Marie teased trainees, but she was also bluntly honest with them about what it meant to be a Grigori pilot.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">(Alive) Tianran Jin: Ace Grigori Pilot</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Note</strong>: Let’s kill him. But before that it’d be fun if he could traumatize or anger some rookies with his intense bitterness.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Played by</strong>: Cloudcraft<br/><br/><strong>FILE NUMBER</strong>: <br/><strong>CLASSIFICATION</strong>: Grigori Ace Pilot<br/><strong>DEPARTMENT</strong>: Administration, the Grigori Program<br/><strong>WAVE DESIGNATION</strong>: Third Wave<br/><strong>CALL SIGN</strong>: Dollface<br/><br/><strong>NAME</strong>: Tianran Jin<br/><strong>DOB</strong>: April 9, 2072 (age 27)<br/><strong>BLOOD TYPE</strong>: A Positive<br/><strong>HEIGHT</strong>: 185 cm<br/><strong>WEIGHT</strong>: 71 kg<br/><strong>EYE COLOR</strong>: Dark brown<br/><strong>HAIR COLOR</strong>: Black<br/><strong>RACIAL ORIGIN</strong>: Eastern Asian<br/><strong>ETHNICITY</strong>: Chinese<br/><strong>CITIZENSHIP</strong>: Asian Union <br/><strong>LANGUAGE FLUENCY</strong>: Mandarin Chinese, English<br/><br/><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Born in Northern China, 2072 as the fourth son of seven children. Local villages were regularly attacked by demon spawn, being too far from the capital to receive adequate protection. Tian’s family stayed due to stubbornness and lack of money. Tested for natural synchronization at his middle school and drafted into the Grigori Program in 2087.<br/><br/><strong>TRAINING AND PILOTING HISTORY</strong>: At the time was the youngest pilot in the pilot trainee program. Cleared for combat in 2089, age seventeen. Growing up and in early adulthood, Tianran was very, very pretty. The other pilots called him their “Chinese sweetheart” and “lotus blossom,” but nothing stuck until Marie started calling him her “doll.” Ever since, Tianran’s call sign has been Dollface. With his early aptitude and good features, Tianran was an easy pick for publicity during his early career. He was made to appear in the media whether he liked it or not.<br/><br/>Developed a serious skin lesion in 2096, beginning in his lower right abdomen. Over time, it has grown to encompass half of his lower torso. ADAMS doctors predict that he has a very short time left to live, but this knowledge is classified from the majority of the Grigori Program. As Tianran got older and more bitter, along with the development of his illness, his appearance in publicity has slowly waned and been replaced with the Shepherd siblings. Tianran has no problem with this. Has been flying combat missions for ten years with only three months of sick leave in the past five years. <br/><br/>Proficient in all combat specifications. Excels at Physical Armaments, Movement, and Navigation.<br/><br/><strong>PILOTING CLEARANCE</strong>: Tianran has piloting clearance for Unit 00: Azazel, Unit 01: Samyaza, and Unit 03: Sariel. Tianran has clearance to pilot Unit 02: Penemue, but will not achieve flyable synchronization in the TT Armaments or Navigation specifications.<br/> <br/><strong>SYNCHRONIZATION HISTORY</strong>: Tianran had a natural synchronization rating of 15%. His highest synchronization ever achieved during combat was at 53%. Tianran has an average synchronization rating of 45%.<br/><strong>FIDELITY HISTORY</strong>: Highest fidelity ratings were with Marie Andre and Dexter Rankine, both deceased. <br/><br/><strong>PUBLIC RELATIONS INVOLVEMENT</strong>: Previously frequent, now infrequent. <br/><strong>PSYCHOLOGICAL NOTES</strong>: Tianran acts as the model of politeness and duty, although his true feelings couldn’t be farther from this mask. After watching so many friends die and being on death’s doorstep himself, Tianran is thoroughly tired of the Grigori Program and everything it represents. He is too prideful to consider deserting or suicide, but finds himself waiting for the mission or the tumor that will finally end it all. If he had his way, he would retire and die of natural causes in his old age, but he knows that will never happen.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">(Alive) Allen Shepherd: Ace Grigori Pilot</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/><strong>Note</strong>: Allen is primarily being used as a plot character.

Allen is available for interaction with other characters and writers are encouraged to connect at least one of their characters to him in some way. He is open for friendships and would make a great object for someone’s unrequited rivalry or attraction.

His father had inherited the fortune of Shepherd's Shoe, a luxury brand of shoes for formal and business attire that made their money prior to the awakening of spawn and demons and then smartly invested their profits once the war against them began. His mother lived off an overly generous trust fund and her own inheritance. Allen had a privileged childhood due to his parent's wealth and money. He was given all the head starts in life that could be bought - private school, tutors, and numerous after school activities ranging from music lessons to hockey practice. While Allen was well cared for he was groomed rather than spoiled. His parents specifically aimed to raise a well behaved and successful child. And they ended up getting the son they wanted through strict discipline and emotional manipulation.<br/><br/>Allen grew up aware of the threats posed by the demons and their spawn, but due to his social class the full reality of the danger all of humanity was in ended up being veiled. His parents busied themselves with charities and fundraising for the Grigori Program and humanitarian aid throughout the world, but they also indulged in selfish frivolities. Seeing the horrors and tragedy of the demons on the television, internet, and in books deeply affected Allen. It fostered a desire in him to help others, but not in the distant way his mother and father helped. He figured out early on what career he wanted to pursue, a physician, and began to do everything he needed to do to fulfill it. Allen became a star pupil throughout his education, earning top marks and enrolling in advanced courses.<br/><br/>The birth of his younger brother David was unplanned and Allen picked up on his parent's unhappiness. They had been pleased with having Allen as their only child and considered him proof of their success as parents. Allen filled in the parental holes that his parents left due to their disinterest in raising a second child. He continued to embody the definition of his parent's ideal child while also taking on the role of the devoted older brother. In public the Shepherds were a content family, but in private they were far from it. His father had a dependency on wine, his mother had numerous extramarital affairs, and his little brother was a bundle of anxiety. The older Allen got the further he drifted from his parents and the closer he grew to David. He maintained his facade as his parent's golden child, but he quietly began to resent them.<br/><br/>After high school Allen immediately entered university. During his second year Allen's role as his brother's primary parental figure was upgraded to only parental figure when his parents were killed during a demon spawn attack while appearing at a charity event in Los Angeles. While Allen took a semester off to appropriately mourn and settle legal and financial matters he resumed university with little difficulty and earned an undergraduate degree in Biology. While pursuing his medical degree he was accepted as an intern at ADAMS within the department of Medical Science and Healthcare. His internship was primarily grunt work, but it was an opportunity that would have looked impressive on a resume and might have even led to a job offering at ADAMS in the future after obtaining his medical degree. Though luck had something else to offer Allen. While filling in for another intern on a day he was supposed to have off Allen was present when ADAMS ordered synchronization rating testing of the entire Medical Science and Healthcare department. Allen was tested and found to have a natural synchronization of 13%. Deciding that being a Grigori pilot would allow him to help more people than being a doctor he enlisted in the Grigori Program at the age of 25.<br/><br/><strong>TRAINING AND PILOTING HISTORY</strong>: Allen was nicknamed Goldilocks during training for his picky eating habits. The nickname is also a nod to his blond hair. Allen progressed quickly through training. His dedication and positive attitude allowed him to steadily increase his synchronization rating while his professional and amiable manner with his fellow trainees, pilots, and other ADAMS personnel made him popular within and outside of the program. He was 29 when given clearance to operate a Grigori for combat missions. During combat Allen excels at communication, navigation, and movement. He became a Grigori Ace pilot in September 2098.<br/><br/><strong>PILOTING CLEARANCE</strong>: Unit 01-Samyaza. Unit 03-Sariel.<br/><strong>SYNCHRONIZATION HISTORY</strong>:  Allen had a natural synchronization rating of 13%. His highest synchronization ever achieved during combat was at 55% during September 2098. Since November of 2098 Allen has maintained a steady average synchronization rating of 51%. He is the first Grigori pilot in history to hold a synchronization rating over 50% while not in combat.<br/><br/><strong>FIDELITY HISTORY</strong>: <br/><br/><strong>PUBLIC RELATIONS INVOLVEMENT</strong>: Frequent. Allen is considered one of Public Relation's golden boys. His respectable family background, attractiveness, comfort with public speaking, and humble but confident demeanor have made him very popular with the media.<br/><br/><strong>PSYCHOLOGICAL NOTES</strong>: Allen is health conscious and has particular eating habits. His style of eating is formal even when in casual settings and he will not eat without a napkin or eating utensils. He has perfectionist tendencies. Allen is unfailingly courteous to his fellow pilots and other ADAMS Personnel. While most people appreciate and enjoy his presence a few of the pilots and employees who were around to see Allen’s entrance into the program find him a bit unsettling. They see his pleasant demeanor as a glued on mask. Because Allen treats everyone except his brother in the same manner it is difficult to discern how he really feels towards other people. Since September of 2098 Allen has been experiencing bouts of insomnia.</div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">(Alive) Indira Patel: Director of Public Relations</div><div class="spoiler_body">Profile will be posted soon.</div></div>
