Lin A. Scharfelz

=Who is Lin?=
Lin formerly served the Waifuwehr of the Federal Republic of Germany as a Kommandant of the Jägertruppe and member of the Generalstabsdienst.
=Lin's Backstory=
Lin is a rather calm person, coming from a split family and having a personally complex history. The Scharfelz family is split between the atlantic, having family in both the US, residing in Missouri and scattered along the southern states such as Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and more, and in Germany, where they mainly reside in Nordhein-Westfalen and Niedersachsen. Being born in the US, in Newport Tennessee, Lin overall grew up on a rural farm in the mountains, maintaining livestock and basic crops. From a young age, vehicles of war peered interest to her, such as Main Battle Tanks like the M1 Abrams platform and Leopard 2 platform. Lin had a heavy draw towards these vehicles, wishing to one day operate them and even designing her own models to be used by militaries across the globe. Shortly after her 15th birthday, Lin was taken with her sibling, Trevor Scharfelz, to their cousin, Manuel, who lived in Mülheim, Germany. At the age of 17, Lin began seeking to join the Waifuwehr, in hopes of being able to operate a tank, preferring the Leopard 2 A6 over all other armored vehicles.
When it comes to Lin as a person, she prefers to keep to herself and not have others worry about her, regardless of her situation, she always tries to ensure the safety of her friends and comrades, with what her family names as being an "honor" to allow herself to be in danger while getting others out of it, even if it were to be at the cost of her life. Lin believes heavily in keeping a healthy body, having her own workout routine on top of regular PT, and with growing up on the farm, knows what food she should eat to help her body for the next task if she knows of it. Having been on a farm in the mountains, secluded from others, hunting has also been a prominent skill of hers, continually saying that "The only rifle I will ever know the best, is my lever-action 30-30 at my birth house," when asked about her knowledge on firearms.
For Lin's education, even with her being rather disconnected from nearby towns and cities, she still attended regular schooling, of which she continued when moving to Germany, taking in as much as possible and consistently trying to make new ways of preforming a task or engineering a new form of system. From her knowledge, some of which she has taught herself from utilizing the internet, multiple designs of various types of vehicles can be found from her, from simple APCs to complex MBTs, some of which she thinks of in only a few minutes. Having what she refers to as "my overthinking brain" for a mind, Lin will often have random spurts of design ideas, drawing them quickly when she has the chance, while also having difficulty remembering some things she states she is incapable of deciding whether or not it is remembered by her overthinking brain. From highschool, her grades showed her linguistic abilities were not the best, slowly becoming worse over her life, but remaining enough to communicate well.
Upon enlistment, and to this day, Lin prefers to try and make friends, often treating every person with the same level of respect, never any more or any less, and when she deems someone a friend, she exponentially increases her speech towards them, sometimes even beginning rambling about tanks, which is a common occurrence. Being in the panzers, obtaining the dream of operating the Leopard 2 A6, she keeps a close eye on development of armored vehicles world-wide, digging into all info she can about them when she has nothing else to do, even memorizing their strengths and weaknesses.
After a couple years of service, Lin found herself in captivity by the organization known as the "Swords of Afghanistan," the insurgent force of the proclaimed Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and marked as terrorists under NATO and Islamic Jihadists under the UN. There she sat for several months from the winter of December 2022 to the summer of June 2023, until rescued by Heer soldiers under Operation "Frogmen." After rescue Lin was temporarily barred from returning to service in Afghanistan until proven stable after being diagnosed with PTSD and an evident shift of mental well being, requiring weeks of stability and prescription of medication. 
Some of her notes during time of capture detail the environment as being dark, damp and moggy, due to being kept in the septic systems of an old factory, the Jashkadar Manufacturing Plant in Mosta'li of Jalalabad, which had remained under SOA control for several years. After rescue, trying to describe the occurrences of the event is difficult and often met with less than desirable comments about the SOA and wider scope of Afghanistan and its people as a whole. Still retaining the motivation and vigor from before though, Lin continues on strong in service, and tries her best to hide the random and mentally painful PTSD episodes, and tries to keep her newfound aggression to any hostile combatant within necessary limitations.
