The Pilot

## Overview

In the diverse threads of different timelines of Callaxian history, an individual known as the Pilot emerges as an integral character, a Linetwister of remarkable ability and compelling charisma. The Pilot's origins, while varied across timelines, consistently reveal a character forged in adversity and honed by ambition. The Pilot is a pivotal figure in the Callaxian Civil War.

## Background

### The Stratist

In certain timelines, the Pilot's journey begins on a countryside estate in New Bray'ed. Raised in a large family of Laxes, their formative years are deeply ingrained with Stratist values, specifically the belief that God ordains the class system. Driven by an unexpected ambition, they chose to step away from their expected path, dedicating their early adulthood to becoming an accomplished fighter pilot. Their rapid ascension to one of Tarn's most promising pilots would set the stage for their role in the impending Callaxian Civil War.

### The Open-Minded

In other weaves of time, the Pilot's birthplace is the distant equatorial continent of Rayz. Their upbringing amidst the diversity of Rayz's Animist believers fosters an open-minded worldview, often in stark contrast to the rigid Stratist society of Tarn where they later reside. Their inherent love for excitement and adventure guides them towards advanced fighter pilot training, leading them to become a rising star on Tarn's horizon. Their multifaceted understanding of religion and spirituality grants them a unique perspective as they navigate the complexities of the war to come.

### The Determined

In other timelines, the Pilot is a child of resilience and survival. Born a Zed to a single mother involved with the Manni Family, an organized crime group, they are given a chance at a different life when false documents allow them to live as a Lax. Their life is a constant struggle against the constraints of a system that they perceive as oppressive. Following the completion of secondary education, they seize the opportunities available to a Lax, honing their piloting skills to eventually become a formidable force in Tarn's skies. This resilience and determination are integral traits as they play their part in the ensuing Callaxian Civil War.

## Role in the Callaxian Civil War

In the vast majority of timelines in which the Callaxian Civil War takes place in 347C, the Pilot's actions are central to the trajectory of the conflict. With the potential to align with the Union-backed Stratist Traditionalists, the Mission-supported Shoehorns, or the Red Mission, their choices significantly influence the course of Callaxian history. Regardless of their origins, the Pilot is always Callaxian, headquartered in the heart of the civil war in New Bray'ed.

As a Linetwister, the Pilot holds a unique place in the interconnected web of realities, their every decision echoing across the timelines. They maneuver their path with a finesse borne out of advanced combat flying skills, a notable achievement for someone of their youth. Intriguing and engaging, they are a magnet for the attention and curiosity of others. Yet, the Pilot is more than just an individual—through their actions, they become an embodiment of the societal struggles and shifting balances of power in the Callaxian Civil War.

## Legacy

The Pilot's actions during the Callaxian Civil War reshape not only the destiny of Callax but also the balance of power among the Union, the Mission, and the Red Mission. It is the Pilot's saga—a tale of faith, resilience, and open-mindedness—that, in the end, influences the very fabric of the Callaxian society and the wider galactic scene.
