Organisation Name:Tornado Company
Type: Vulture
Established: AI0020
Base of Operations: Endra-Class battleship. Currently orbiting Io.
Other Details:
Wanted by certain sections of Io’s govt, for both the lost Qubeley Design and the cloned cyber-newtypes created to operate them.
History:
While Tornado in its current form was officially founded in AI0022, both of its founders were active as independent mercenaries long before that. An Oldtype/Newtype Duo fighting within a single machine - allowing it to catch enemy forces off guard with a veritable horde of funnels, while still functioning at full capacity.
In 0006, a chance encounter with a vulture group near Io lead them to an abandoned asteroid field, still containing wreckage from the insurrection era. One ship - an Endra-Class that would become their future home - was relatively undamaged, having apparently been disabled with a clean shot through the bridge while it tried to evacuate researchers from a destroyed base within the field.
Once they were within.. They came across a discovery. Three pods hidden in the cargo bay, each apparently containing a human child. An unfortunate accident resulted in all three pods being activated and opened, bringing a tripled of cloned-cyber newtypes into their hands - alongside the various mobile suits stored within, built and designed to be operated by these children once they reached a fighting age.
Fourteen years passed. Through a great deal of favours and what funds remained from their time working together, the Kents were able to pay for the complete restoration of the Endra-class they’d made their home in and enough supplies to keep it and its MS complement functional in a combat situation.
Which would soon prove necessary. Their homeship was explicitly targeted by a group of MS hunters in AI0020, and while the group was driven off without any serious damage it was clear they were explicitly targeting the trio of cyber-newtypes. Any chance of a peaceful life was shattered, forcing the couple to return to their old life of violence. And once the triplets were old enough they joined in as well, the sheer number of remote weapons giving them a rather unique niche even among vulture bands.
Mercenary work, Vulture assistance, piracy; anything was on the cards, as long as it put food on the table and distance between them and their enemies. And once they’d gotten strong enough… well, poking a sleeping bear is a very good way to get mauled. Revenge was on the cards against whoever had originally sent the hunters out, and against anyone else who dared tried to use the Mysts against their will.

Biography:
Born and raised in the early years of the Insurrection, Joshua knew of little other than war even in his childhood. The Io-orbiting colony he spent his youth on was destroyed when Joshua was fifteen, and he was dragged into the war by a group of what would become vultures come its end.
Come the beginning of the AI Era, he split off to make his own path. Taking on an alias of “Loki” and an upgraded Rick Dom, he took to the battlefield to burn his own path in life, and damn anything else to get in his way.
At least… until he ran into an old friend. Their first conflict ended in a draw, but after repeated encounters on the battlefield he ended up burying the hatchet with Alicia and starting to fight alongside her instead of against. He became the public face of the pair, managing contracts and selling themselves off to various vulture bands until AI0006 - when he withdrew from the public eye along with Alicia, only re-emerging on AI0022 at the head of a new group: Tornado Company.
Isn’t exactly happy with his current lot in life, but there was no way he was abandoning a bunch of kids to die or be dissected or whatever the local govt would have done with them. And sometimes doing the right thing is it’s own reward.
Mobile Weapon: Kshatriya. Sometimes. Otherwise he's on the Endra's bridge.

Biography:
Born and raised in the later days of the insurrection, Alicia was (un)lucky enough to be taken away from her colony of origin before it's unfortunate destruction at the hands of the AI menace. She was raised as the first true generation of anti-AI warriors, and prioritised for special treatment once her newtype abilities began to manifest.
The unit she as assigned to had been wiped out to the man by the end of the war, and she became a drifter of sorts - knowing only battle and feeling more comfortable there than in any attempt at peace... At least until she started running into old friends on the battlefield.
A mercenary known as “Loki” was proving to be a persistent thorn in her side, and almost became a rival of sorts after they were matched up against each other one time too many. In their last battle she utterly destroyed his mobile suit, retrieving the cockpit to finally look upon the face of the man who’d caused her so much trouble.
And there he was, in the flesh. While her old friend looked nothing like the child he’d been when they were separated, her mind just knew he was the same kid she’d played with back then. It took some time to truly bury the hatchet, but once they’d gotten used to each other the duo
became a terror on the battlefield - although they mysteriously disappeared from the Io sphere in AI0006, taking the Kshatriya with them.
Felt a special connection with the three Mysts, having originally been drawn in by the pressure created from their dormant pods. Her connection with the triplets lead to her fitting into a mother-daughter relationship impressively quickly, raising them as if they were her own flesh and blood while helping them control their own abilities. It was no military regimen... But it was enough to keep them safe.
