Ikarian Civil War: The Wrong Side (appears)

Captain Linoch Holst of the 361st Squadron, also known as Squad 361, and nicknamed the Suicide Battalion, was born in the city of Faison in the Province of Luine. His twin and second-in-command, Lina Holst gets into quite a lot of mischief and mayhem with him, even going so far as to bomb the provincial capital building of Luine. Linoch himself has no interest in helping the military, or even having his conviction overturned, he's just there so that he can keep his sister safe.

## **Birth and Childhood**

Born in Faison, Linoch and Lina Holst's mother, Rae Holst raised the two by herself, though by age 14, their mother had tragically died. It was then that the brother-sister duo began their crime streak. They never performed small petty crimes such as shoplifting or things such as that, they began with attacks on their own provincial and local governments. Ironically enough, people began to refer to Lina and Linoch as the "Twin Dukes of Luine," seeming to give them more respect than their own governments.

## **Becoming Part of Squad 361**

The duo's last crime involved the bombing of their provincial capital, which was the largest scale crime they had ever committed together. The two were ultimately arrested and charged with serious crimes, though their sentences were waived as long as they served in the Nodrian-Ikarian War. The first two weeks of joining were some of the toughest weeks of Linoch's life as he and his sister were rushed through their officer school in order to be battle ready as quickly as possible for the Nodrian War.

## **Second Great War**

Squad 361 was heavily involved in the Nodrian-Ikarian War, even more so than many active army divisions at the time. If there was ever a dangerous and large-scale battle, you could bet that Squad 361 was there. Even for smaller-scale conflicts, Squad 361 still lent a helping hand.

At one point in the Nodrian War, a Nodrian Commander nearly routed Linoch's Squad and came face-to-face with him. He asked if he'd switch sides, but Linoch simply replied, “You’re an idiot if you think I’d ever switch to your side, I hate following the orders of my own country, what makes you think I'd follow the orders of the losing country?”
