History: On the cusp of the Exploration Era, Lenard C. Albrecht saw humanity's need for transit among the stars; and he wasn't going to let somebody else expand the final frontier on his watch. Starting with a simple shuttle service for cargo to the burgeoning, the Albrecht Ways Company soon grew into the premier trade and travel company in the galaxy. As the company flourished, Lenard eventually found time to have a son, Lotte, who Lenard eventually passed the company down to before passing away himself. Lotte continued the operations of the company much like his father, stagnating its growth somewhat. After some time, Lotte would sire Liam L. Albrecht and pass his position to him. Liam ran the company nominally for several years, but, noting that he lacked much of the drive and influence of his father, devoted his own sun, Leon, to become the next great head. Eventually, Liam stepped down and had his son take his place. Under Leon, the AWC experienced a golden period of growth; Leon was much more ambitious and cutthroat than his father. Operations continued phenomenally for a time, and Leon established Jupiter's Ganymede as the AWC's seat of power, and the Jovian sphere his kingdom.

All good things must come to an end, however. The Praetorians defected from their masters, and humanity was plunged into chaos.

Unable to cope with the destruction of his empire, Leon Albrecht succumbed to alcoholism only a handful of years before the war's end and left behind his young daughter, Leona.

Lenard Albrecht had originally founded the Red Blades to simply patrol and police the company's cargo and trade routes. When war broke out, the Blades were effectively split; one half continued to protect the routes and ensure delivery of the now much more valuable shipments of war materials, and the other became "knights", fighting against the Praetorians. Although most of the Blades lacked much training in mobile suit combat, the expensive, high performance suits that the AWC possessed pulled them through a majority of the time. Now, in the new era of relative peace, the Blades are tasked with rebuilding the AWC's once great empire under the lead of Leona.

Notable Members:

Name: Heine Noble
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Height: 5'6
Weight: 145
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blonde
Appearance: Screenshot_32.png
Classification: Oldtype

Biography: The son of a well known "knight" of the Red Blades, unbeknownst to Heine. His father passed away shortly after he was born, succumbing to a recurrent injury he acquired during the war. His mother ran away with another man when Heine was only 10 years old. Scraping by as an urchin, Heine had to use his natural wit and charisma to stay on top. Eventually, the AWC, aiming to regroup the stray knights and other affiliates, tracked Heine down and told him of his heritage. Faced with the choice between staying a two-bit slum lord wallowing in the dregs of humanity or becoming a righteous pilot rebuilding the solar system, Heine enthusiastically chose the latter.

Name: Tryst Royal
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height: 5'9
Weight: 140
Eye Color: Amber
Hair Color: Red
Appearance: Screenshot_33.png
Classification: Oldtype

Biography: The child of an average impoverished post war family, Tryst grew up with very little. In order to entertain himself, he would go out with other kids and pick through the wreckage of their PLANT, looking for odd tidbits or shiny parts. As he grew older, Tryst began to understand the importance of some of the parts he picked up and either sold them to support his family or kept them around to tinker with. Tryst had developed quite the knack for machines as he aged further, even going so far as starting a small maintenance and repair service in his area; from simple mobile workers to old Desperados, Tryst had a way of understanding machines that was certainly extraordinary. At some point, Tryst's reputation had made it's way to the AWC who promptly sent a couple of knights to recruit this young mechanic. Not wanting to wholly abandon his home, Tryst agreed to join as long as the AWC would periodically send aid to the PLANT.

Name: Isaac Crown
Age: 45
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8
Weight: 175
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Gray
Appearance: Screenshot_34.png
Classification: Oldtype

Biography: A veteran knight who survived the war, and one of the few remaining members of the Falchion team. As such, Isaac knew Heine's father personally. Isaac is conflicted with the notion of Heine becoming the new head of the team in place of his late father; Isaac holds seniority and is superior as far as experience goes, but he also wishes to see if Heine will grow to the level of the former captain. Overall, Isaac still has the candle lit for the old world, especially for former AWC head Leon Albrecht. He's too faithful to the company to do anything major against Leona, but Isaac has several reservations with her command.
