Mika

**Mika** is a character from the Super Star Fighters Series, as well as the UNDER NIGHT IN BIRTH Series.

## Personality

Mika is a hero, fighting for justice!!!!!!

Or, that's what she thinks she is. She really is a heroic person, though she still has a silly side to her. She's always standing for justice with her and her huge arms (which she calls Arm-y.), she can best any criminal scum!

## Weapons/Powers

### "Arm-y"

Her *giant* arms (which she calls Arm-y) are great for combat! They give huge damage, but due to their size, it makes the rest of her body kind of like a weak spot.

Utsuho Reiuji

**Utsuho Reiuji** is a character from the Super Star Fighters Series, as well as the Touhou Series.

## Personality

Utsuho is a well, birdbrain. She (pretty much) has short term Memory loss, causing her to be not very smart (unless it comes to physics, however!) She can follow orders pretty well, if she can remember them. She seems to jump to conclusions quickly. She's fast, but likes fun.
Mamizou Futatsuiwa

**Mamizou Futatsuiwa** is a character in the Super Star Fighters Series, as well as the Touhou Series.

## Personality

Mamizou is pretty mysterious, but at the same time, pretty kind and fun. Not many people know about her, or what she does- or what she even is. She has a usually upbeat attitude, and is especially crafty, given her power of shape-shifting. She also likes pranking people with her shape-shifting, though while sometimes she takes it a *bit* too far, she doesn't mean any harm. She lives at the Myouren Temple. She gets along well with Humans, but really doesn't with Foxes.

## Weapons/Powers

### Shape-shifting

Mamizou has the ability to shape shift, being a Bake-danuki and all. She doesn't seem to use it much in battle, as she prefers to use her normal form. In battle, that is.
Aya Syameimaru

**Aya Syameimaru** is a character in the Super Star Fighters Series, as well as the Touhou Series.

## Personality

Aya is kind of nosy, trying to make articles and all, but is all around a pretty good... no, kinda good person. She lets her personal opinions get in the way of the truth sometimes (as see in her articles), and thus, a lot of people seem to dislike her.

## Weapons/Powers

### Great Hearing

She can hear things from a great distance, perfect for a reporter!

### Wings

Used to fly. She can apparently retract them when she feels like it.
Tia Langray

**Tia Langray** is a character in the Super Star Fighters Series, as well as the Breakers Series.

## Personality

Tia is a fighter. She stands for what's right, but prefers to do it alone.

## Weapons/Powers

#### Strong Martial Arts

woah!!! A physical fighter in a fighting game with strong martial arts?!?!?!?!? no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She wields many attacks, from punches to a flurry of kicks and an uppercut!

#### Power Charge

She can charge up power (or in the game's case, meter). She has to stand still to do it though.

#### Power Disc

She can release some kinda of magic(?) disc from her hand. Does light damage, but can cover range.

## Relationships

### Priere

Priere used to be a student under Tia, but after beating her in a battle and ruining her reputation, Priere and Tia pretty much hate each other.

**Relationship:** Enemies

First DJ ever to be heard on BBC Radio 1. Made over 140 appearances as presenter of Top of the Pops between 1969 and 1983.

Once married to Tessa Wyatt out of Robin’s Nest. A rare breed, namely a heterosexual man that struggled to reach full tumescence in the personal company of Barbara Windsor.

Provider of additional blank C60 cassettes to David Stubbs. There have been many great Top of the Pops presenters, and Tony Blackburn is an exception.

Neil Kulkarni

Former Melody Maker inmate and writer for Vox, Uncut and Loaded. Previously MM Gossip Editor, who knew where Rialto were last night.

Once barred Supergrass out of the green room at the Reading Festival because, to quote Neil personally, “your last album was shit.” Was named after Neil Armstrong and could have been called Buzz Kulkarni if things had turned out differently. Crisp aficionado of the highest order.

Alvin Stardust

A.K.A. Bernard Jewry A.K.A. Shane Fenton. Curdled Elvis. TP

Musical accompaniment to Al’s Dad while he was phlegming up over a sink in the morning. Gloved holder of microphones at a jaunty angle and castigator of small children intent on killing themselves as they irresponsibly crossed the road.

Preferred his fornication on the right type of warm floor covering, and, crucially, at his apartment.
Cliff Richard

Holder of the record for most Top of the Pops performances ever. Known to his mate Hank Marvin as ‘Cluff Ruchard.’ Has a vineyard which may or may not have been fertilised with the blood of children... which explains why *Some People* was once considered as a name for his wine.

Prime exponent of Danger Dancing.
Legs & Co

Top of the Pops’ dance troupe from 1976 to 1981, who all had aunties’ names. There’s an awful lot Roger Daltrey would like to say about them, but he’d probably be bleeped out if he did.

Not to be confused with Legs Limited, Pussy Etc, Tits Plus, Arse Incorporated or Meat TP. Were once dressed as the world’s most erotic Quality Street tin.

Simon Bates

Former Radio 4 newsreader and Radio 1 DJ who appeared on Top of the Pops over 70 times between 1979 and 1988.

‘Simes’ was once an assistant artificial inseminator on a farm before moving to New Zealand and Australia to do some radio work, hence his Chart Music moniker, Pigwanker General.

Hated by Simon Price more than Jimmy Savile. Possessor of ‘plywood gravitas.’ TP Star prize in the 1985 Daily Star and Babycham Female DJ of the Year competition. Al’s choice as the Top of the Pops presenter he’d most like to go for a drink with. Improbably the first host of the BBC TV series, *Food and Drink*.
Peter Powell

Born Peter James Barnard-Powell. Non-stunt kit mogul. TP Grant Bovey placeholder. TP

Former Radio 1 DJ who presented Top of the Pops well over 100 times between 1977 and 1988. Co-purveyor of Nescafe at occasional local disco events along with Kid Jensen. A trendy teacher by any other name. A ‘perv’, according to Simon Price’s Dad, for reasons unknown.

“WHOO! HEY!” etc.

Fozzy Bear Motherfucker. Greenwich Village Terry McDermott. TP  Every item in his house looks like his face - apart from his toothbrush, which is kept in his knock-off Lydia’s bathroom.

‘Lucky Stars‘ and ‘Lydia’ hit-maker who responded to Chart Music’s criticism of him by following Chart Music on Twitter.
Shakin' Stevens

Born Michael Barrett in 1948. A man of few words, but a lot of shakes.

Lead figure in the Heterosexual Rock ‘n’ Roll scene. Britpop Landlord. Richard Madeley manhandler. The perfectly spherical pebble at the centre of the universe, the rotation of which is used to set the intergalactic clocks. TP

Spent more weeks in the Top 40 during the 1980’s than any other artist. Imagine Elvis Presley working on a chairoplane in Rhyl TP… there you have him.
Sakuya Izayoi

**Sakuya Izayoi** is a character in the Super Star Fighters Series, as well as the Touhou Series.

## Personality

Sakuya has a solider-like personality. She's rock hard (like me fr), almost always putting actions before words. Though she is quite bad at making them, she likes her friends deeply, and wants to explore more of the world, but can't, due to being the Head Maid for the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

## Weapons/Powers

### Time Stop

Sakuya uses her Pocket Watch to stop time. She could use it to win easily, but she doesn't, as battling would only be a chore otherwise (look I needed a reason okay), but she still uses it, though.

### Throwing Knives

They're endless, I tell ya! She has Knives! LOTS of em! They do knivy things!!!

## Relationships

### Hong Meiling

The Gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Meiling had always liked talking to Sakuya, but only recently (before SSF1) had Sakuya began to actually hang out with Meiling. Sakuya truly enjoys Meiling's company.

**Relationship:** Friends, Maybe Lovers

Husband of Sarah Greene. Edmonds Enabler. Helped to ban *Some Candy Talking* by The Jesus and Mary Chain on BBC Radio.

Did not give the BBC consent to replay the TOTP episodes he’d appeared on prior to his death in 2014. As a result, caused irreparable damage to the BBC Four schedules for pop-crazed youngsters wanting a more complete TOTP viewing experience.

Trident Squadron

> "Trident Squadron saved our lives over Coral City. Without Commander Kleklack, the rebs' would've dug me a nice watery grave."
>
> ― Unidentified Imperial stormtrooper regarding the Mon Cala Uprising, 3 BBY

**Trident Squadron**, officially the 516th Interceptor Squadron, was an Imperial starfighter squadron during the time of the Galactic Civil War. They flew TIE/in Interceptors and were regarded as a top-rate squadron within the Imperial Navy. By the time of the Mon Cala Uprising, Commander Kleklack led the unit.
Harir Hee'faeva

> "True colors, Sern."
>
> ― Harir's last words, spoken to Halliot Sern, 17 BBY

**Harir Hee'faeva** was a Bothan naval officer and rebel leader during the time of the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. Born on the planet Bothawui, Harir joined the Bothan Navy and had reached the rank of commander by the beginning of the Clone Wars. When the Separatists violated Bothan neutrality in 22 BBY, the Bothan Council voted to join the Republic's war effort. Consequently, Harir served in a number of battles in which he grew prejudiced to the Separatist movement.

After the war's end, he was disillusioned with the new Galactic Empire, and became involved with Senator Bail Organa's early resistance efforts. With the rank of captain, he was given command of the CR90 corvette *Avishan Wind*, and commanded operations supporting rebel agents across the galaxy. When the former Separatist Halliot Sern joined the crew as his first officer, Harir grew suspicious of the lieutenant's seemingly falsified service record. Alongside his security chief Galen Vance, the captain learned of Hal's past and plotted to dispose of him. Within the giant caves of the planet Bilzen, Harir and Galen confronted Sern and attempted to abandon him on the world. After intense verbal sparring, Halliot drew a blaster and shot both men, striking a mortal blow to the Bothan captain.
Kodo Sav

> "Should tyranny come for Manaan, it shall break upon the waves."
>
> ― Kodo Sav

**Kodo Sav** was a Selkath soldier during the time of the Galactic Civil War. A member of the Manaan Special Warfare Group, Sav was considered Manaan's finest soldier by the time of the Battle of Yavin. He held extreme anti-Imperial views, and actively undermined any neutrality efforts undertaken by the Ahto High Court. Whenever Imperial forces utilized Selkath space, Sav would secretly report their movements to General Rahm Kota.

As the anti-Imperial elements in the Selkath government won over, the Empire elected to strike. Under the command of Tomen Kay, an Imperial strike force descended on Manaan. Initially outnumbered, Sav saved the Selkath forces from total dissolution, whilst sending a constant barrage of transmissions to General Kota. When the general ultimately arrived on the planet, they were able to push the Imperials back. As Governor Kay hopes to weather a siege in the capital of Ahto, Sav led a covert strike force into the city. As Tomen Kay attempted to flee to his shuttle, Kodo and his men intercepted and killed the short-term commandant.

After the Manaan Dance, the Ahto High Court declared for the rebellion, and Kodo Sav worked closely with General Kota in his campaigns against the Empire.
Aleson Algray

Lady **Aleson Algray** was a Hapan great duchess, politician, and naval officer during the time of the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. The only child of the aging and sickly Lady Algray, Aleson ascended to the Gray Throne of Vergill at a young age, briefly under the regency of her cousin Lord Thane. She was a childhood friend of the throne's heir, Crown Princess Ta'a Chume'da, and was considered the closest ally of the future monarch. When Queen Mother Ni'korish Chume died in 29 BBY, young Lady Algray and Ta'a were both on Vergill. Intent on escorting the assumed new leader, Aleson was instead put to siege by her former ally, Lord Thane, as part of a plot to install Ta'a Chume's aunt, Princess Su'ra, as Queen Mother. Lady Aleson was unwilling to surrender the crown princess, stalling the attempted coup and instead inciting a civil war.
Mikken Rones

**Mikken Rones** was a Human starfighter pilot for the Rebel Alliance during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Born on Virujansi, he flew for the planetary defense force until the world was occupied by the Empire. Sometime before the Battle of Kamino, he joined General Rahm Kota's cell, leading Dane Squadron.
Dalinar Miilarta

> To the honor of our Consortium, and to our fleet. May our forebearers look down and smile, for they know of our conviction, our resolve.

> Dalinar Miilarta speaking to officers of the Honor Fleet, 10 BBY

Lord **Dalinar Miilarta** of Tu'ana was a Hapan duke and famed naval officer during the time of the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War.
Marathon Squadron

> "Marathon. Yes, that was their name. Marathon Squadron. A dozen bombers, clad in grey and black, the only hint of color coming from the torpedoes they launched. And oh-how many they launched."
>
> ― the thoughts of Captain Boose Luck on the Rodia Disaster, sometime after 5 BBY

**Marathon Squadron**, officially the 218th Heavy Bomber Squadron, was an Imperial starfighter squadron during the time of the Galactic Civil War. They flew TIE Bombers and TIE Interdictors, and were considered one of the navy's most premier bombing formations. Tipai commanded the squadron until the Battle of Mon Cala, after which it's fate is unknown.
Chavvid Datche

> "Chavvid Datche is the best and worst of our navy. No man can follow orders so well, yet execute them so unexceptionally. A man with no cunning yet much conviction. Pity."
>
> ― Wilhuff Tarkin discussing Chavvid Datche's service record, 6 BBY

**Chavvid Datche** was a Human naval officer during the time of the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. Born to a Eriaduan family with a naval heritage, he joined the Republic Navy at a young age and served in a passive role during the Clone Wars. Described as an adequate but unremarkable officer, his unproblematic record earned him command of the star destroyer *Honorius* by 9 BBY. He was part of Vice Admiral Feechla Manna's task force sent to hunt down Halliot Sern, and fought at the Battle of Ringo Vinda. His ship was destroyed by combined fire from three planetary hypervelocity guns, and Captain Datche fled in an escape pod.

Unlike most officers who served at Ringo Vinda, Datche maintained active service in the fleet. He was part of the force that subdued the treacherous Rear Admiral Anaximand Reed, and continued in policing efforts in the former area of the Precipitate Rebellion. Sometime after, he was assigned as part of the Kamino Defense Fleet, and served there during General Rahm Kota's attack. His escort destroyer suffered severe damage in the battle, and began to fall towards the planet surface. Whilst attempting to escape, a beam fell and pinned Datche to the floor. He drowned when the ship crashed into the Kaminoan oceans.

Ashana Levast

> "Skip the pleasantries, right? You sure know how to make a girl feel special."
>
> ― Ashana Levast's reaction to Halliot Sern's request for starfighter parts, 10 BBY

**Ashana Levast** was a Human smuggler and freedom fighter during the time of the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. Born on Raxus Secundus during the waning years of the Republic, Ashana witnessed the epicenter of the Separatist movement. Her intrigue in spaceflight unknowingly brought her into several pro-secession circles. When the Clone Wars began in earnest, she was an apprentice aboard a smuggling ship serving the Confederacy.

Ashana spent the war ferrying supplies for the Separatists, learning the smuggling trade from the crew she served. When her freighter was ambushed by Republic forces, a young Halliot Sern and his squadron rescued her. The two formed a close friendship that would last the rest of Ashana's life.

After the war, she used her experience to embark on a series of ventures, some more successful than others. By 10 BBY, she ran a small station in the Outer Rim, fencing illegal starship parts under Imperial jurisdiction. She provided crucial resources to the Rebellion's secret base on Rugosa, which fell under attack not long after. Ashana received Sern's distress signal, and personally located and led the Dornea Battlegroup to Rugosa. The fleet was able to defeat the Imperials in orbit, ending the siege and winning the battle.

Now in an active role within the Rebellion, Ashana's numerous connections allowed Sern's Precipitate Rebellion to win crucial victories over the Empire. Before the Battle of Ringo Vinda, she secured Halliot's secret visit to Rear Admiral Anaximand Reed, which was instrumental in winning the aforementioned day.

Ashana was unable to help Sern during his time in the Hapes Consortium, but continued to coordinate the safe passage of rebel forces in the Outer Rim, establishing a network of safehouses and covert camps. Upon Halliot's return, she joined him directly in an attempt to shake the Empire. During an attempted boarding of an Imperial ship, Ashana and Sern were both shot down and crashed onto Molavar's third moon. The rebel forces, outnumbered and outgunned, fought desperately amidst the rubble. Ashana personally took one of the warheads, originally for use against a star destroyer, and charged into Imperial lines. She was mortally wounded by Imperial fire, but detonated the bomb, destroying much of the Imperial force. Despite her sacrifice, further Imperial assaults forced Sern and the team's ultimate surrender.
Joll Ruche

> They lost quite a few during that stint at the breach, possibly one of Syndulla's lieutenants, though we have yet to confirm it.
>
> Colonel Mostaza reporting on the death of Joll Ruche, 0 ABY

**Joll Ruche** was a Twi'lek revolutionary and soldier during the time of the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. Born in the long-diminished city of Joreikna, Joll spent much of his youth apprenticing as a stone mason. When the Separatists invaded Ryloth at the outset of the Clone Wars, he was one of many young Twi'leks who flocked to Cham Syndulla's homefront rebellion. Itching to join the battle, his civil experience saw him often left at camp, tending to the disorderly string of holdfasts used by the resistance.

After the Separatist retreat, Ruche was appointed by Viceroy Syndulla to manage Ryloth's shaken trade networks. The appointment was short-lived, with Ruche fleeing the world during the Imperial occupation. As a self-declared fugitive (though the Empire made no effort to track him down), Ruche used his connections to the war effort and his tales of Generals Syndulla and Windu (whom he rarely saw in the field) to score jobs in the Outer Rim. He worked a deckhand on several freighters, before winning a ship during a Sabaac game. This vessel, the *Romanus*, became his main pride, and he would fly her for over a decade.

Joll's luck did not prove endless, and a string of botched jobs left him increasingly desperate for credits. He began to fly smuggling jobs, first past Hutt enforcers and later Imperial blockades. His missions to Ryloth reconnected him with Cham Syndulla, who had foresaken Ruche as a traitor, but was persuaded by Joll's lies of Imperial persecution. From here, his focus changed to recruitment, gathering a small but determined fleet of freighters willing to dare Imperial star destroyers. His dedication once-more earned him a place in Syndulla's inner circle, and Ruche was considered a top lieutenant of the general by Imperial Intelligence.

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and with the Galactic Civil War in full-swing, Syndulla declared a general rebellion against the Imperial occupiers. Ruche's indecisiveness meant his ragtag fleet inflicted minimal damage against the Empire, while incurring serious losses themselves. His failure to intercept Imperial reinforcements bound for Lessu resulted in him being pulled from command, with the younger Jana Krintu given control of the fleet. Krintu's successes were rued by Ruche, who once again found himself straying from Syndulla's favor.

Desperate to prove his devotion to the Hammer of Ryloth, Ruche made his way to the general's headquarters outside of the Hatar Junction. After being refused of an audience, Joll instead marched to the siege lines. He was present with the infantry when General Bastra's railcrawler artillery piece destroyed a segment of the Junction's outer wall, and joined the subsequent charge into the base. With a mad fury, Ruche and his fellow men were cut down by a rapidly assembled Imperial force under Colonel Mostaza, with Joll's body found not far from the site of the breach.

A **raid** took place on the planet of Lola Sayu some time after the Mon Cala Uprising. It was provoked after the Trandoshan kidnapped the spacer and financier Crunch-Bar. Imperial pilot Tipai was informed about the kidnapping, and gathered several of the abducted's close friends such as Kleklack and Igosta Coates to rescue him.

The rescue party, after searching the galaxy for clues, eventually discovered that Crunch-Bar was being held at Lola Sayu. The three arrived at the planet, bypassing the Imperial quarantine zone and shooting down at least 1 gangster starfighter in the air. Entering the prison complex, they battled gangsters throughout the building before reaching the Trandoshan at the top of the tower. Kleklak, Coates, and Tipai had a final showdown with the gangster leader, in which the fate of all four is unknown.

**Lotus Squadron** was a rebel starfighter squadron operating during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Pledged to the resistance forces of Garm Bel Iblis, their most famous engagement was during the Rodia Disaster.

Haret Da'lakta

> It's been near three centuries since the Old King ascended. He is wise beyond his years, no doubt, but even the sharpest blades eventually dull.
>
> Etahn A'baht addressing the Closed Assembly, 1 BBY

**Haret I Da'lakta**, known as the **Unifier** in his early reign and the **Old King** in his late, was a Dornean monarch during the High Republic, the Clone Wars, and the Galactic Civil War. Born the son of King Rorik IV Da'lakta, the young prince ascended to the throne in his infancy, after his father choked on his food. Under regency, he came of age as king, renowned as a peacemaker and powerful warrior. After dismissing his regent, Haret fought and ended a civil war, unifying the feuding Dornean houses. He reigned during the age of the High Republic, travelling the galaxy as part of a great Dornean progress.

When the Clone Wars began, the Old King pledged to support the Galactic Republic. The Dornean fleet aided in the defense of Mon Cala and Lothal, and many Dornean warriors warred against the Separatist droid armies. When the war ended with the dissolution of the Republic, King Haret was hesitant to approach the Galactic Empire. His cold early approach influenced Imperial policy on Dornea, beginning a multi-year standoff that would last into the Galactic Civil War. The king's age, however, began to take it's toll. By 5 BBY, he no longer attended the Open Assembly, and left the ruling of the kingdom to the councilors of the Closed Assembly.
