Phédre Spitfire
Physical Description

Phédre stands five feet, ten inches tall. She is an arctic fox, with mostly white fur, except the black tips of her ears and the gray tip of her tail. She is usually seen wearing a flak jacket and a green shirt, though she does wear her Armada uniform when on duty. She is usually in boots, though she is known to wear sandals on occasion. Her green eyes shine brightly and deeply from her snow white face, and the intelligence they hold is unmistakable.

Life Before the Armada

Raised by wealthy and influential traders, Phédre never really had a place she called home growing up. She had a somewhat troubled family life that eventually led her to disown all of her kin. Their differences stemmed from dealing and trading with pirates, which Phédre always looked down on. Her family refused to stop business with the criminals because of the damage it would do to their profits. So at the age of 14 she left home and went off to Flight School, where she told them her family was dead. She quickly excelled at her studies, working very hard to distance herself from the evil deeds of her family. Waging her own war against them with her good deeds. A soon as she graduated she joined the Armada.

The Crimson Armada

A loyal member of the Armada since she was 16, Phédre has risen in the ranks to become a Colonel and member of the Guardians of the Empire. She takes her role in the Armada very seriously and hopes one day to see her current efforts produce another unified Skytopia. After she had completed seven years of exemplary service in the Armada, the crisis at Tortuga happened in 207 AU. A major at the time, Phédre was called to the front line under the command of Keyo. She fought and commanded her troops well enough to come to the attention the most honored Admiral Fuseli, who sent her on a mission to observe the pirates who venture out to the Black. Commanding a small fleet of 10 planes and the aircraft carrier C.A.S. Shadow, Phédre started out on her mission to explore and monitor the Black. The Admiral made it clear when sending her on this mission, that pirates weren't the only people she was to look for out there. Granted the use of Armada's battleship for the duration of her mission she hasn't had to come back into the core but twice since she left. The Armada sends regular supply planes out to the ship, keeping her mission going strong. Phédre was ordered to take a vacation, since she hadn't taken a break in 6 years. During this break she was able to win the hearts of the skyrates of Valvia and Olio, being named governor in both places. Her efforts did not go unnoticed and she was elected to the Senate. Because of the notorious acts her sister committed while assuming Phédre's identity, the name Phédre Spitfire has acquired quite an infamous connotation:

The Grinning Rogers

Once Phédre returned back to the world of Skytopia, her heart wasn't ready to leave it for the C.A.S. Shadow so soon. With her newly elected place in the Empire as a Senator, and her commission in the Armada as a Colonel, Phédre pulled some strings with her old boss, Markus Jarnhann to get her own black ops squadron and she named it "The Grinning Rogers." Her group is dedicated to protecting Skytopia from all threats, those from without as well as though from within. With her team of agents, Phédre has been able to uncover, and stop several plots against the freedom and safety of her fellow Skytopians. While she does command a team, she still likes to get her hands dirty from time to time. Using her weaponry skills, as well as those skills that come natural to a beautiful female, she will obtain the information she seeks at all costs.

Current Status

Phédre retired from active duty, and now enjoys the life a guest lecturer at Valvia University where she teaches Art History and Art Appreciation. She is still active as a Senator in the Empire, but her days of combat and espionage, are behind her. At least she hopes so. For now she lives on the R&P Skylet, in the old Grinning Rogers' Compound that she bought from the Armada. She lives there with her husban, Martin Andreysin, and her wife, Nadya Zobovic.

New Recruits  She is very helpful and willing to lend guidance to any new members of the Armada, or those entertaining the idea of joining. If you have any questions about the Red Faction, the Armada, or the Empire, please feel free to PM her on the forums.

The Kanika Clan:
Jendayi

The head of the Infamous Pirate Clan on Tortuga, Jen is a ruthless woman, though also feircly loyal. The tigress is in her late forties, but aging very gracefully. She still competes in Dambe, an underground fighting ring very popular on Tortuga. She has six children and her husband is dead.

Saghiri

The eldest son of Jendayi. This tiger towers over nearly everyone he meets. He is a fierce fighter, still the reigning champ in his Dambe class. He is married to Ophelia Foxx and they have one son together. His ex-girlfriend is Natalia Ouroboros, who is an honest to god psychopath.

Zuri

A middle child, Zuri is one of Jendayi's daughters. She is very sexual, often sleeping with men and women on a whim and robbing them blind while they sleep. She uses her sexuallity as a weapon. When Jendayi started interrupting Natalia's slave trade, the crazy linx took Zuri and tortured her for several months trying to figure out information about her mother. Zuri never gave in and was eventually returned to her mother as beaten and bloody message.

Others:
Nyx Erebos:

The small, shy armadillo owns a very successful designer clothing shop on Steppe. She's come a long way since she left the underground commune she was raised in, but she still maintains the Pacifist attitude, so deeply rooted in her people's culture. She no longer judges others by those standards, though she does for herself. She was robbed and beaten pretty badly once, but still held strong to her beliefs, demanding that no one try to seek vengance for her. When her boyfriend, Soren Felious did see revenge she stopped dating him, though her feelings for him have not dimmed in the slightest. She still sees him regularly, as she employed him as her delivery runner. Her fashions have grown in demand among Skytopias elite over the years, thanks in part to the patronage of Phédre Spitfire wearing her gowns to many a gathering of the Political Powers of Skytopia.

Janet Forcray:

A very cheery and friendly over weight bunny, Janet loves feeding everyone. She owns a chain of Bakeries called Just Desserts. Though the name would imply otherwise, they do serve sandwiches and soufles as well. Janet can cook in any medium, but loves desserts most of all. Anyone blessed enough to eat her food, knows that the bunny has devoted her life to ensuring no one around her goes hungry. She's even started a charitable foundation that one days hopes to be on every skyland, offering three meals a day to those who can't afford to feed themselves.

Hugo Grizz:

Hugo, a huge grizzly bear,  was Phédre's bodyguard for many years, sticking by her side through the best and worst of times. When she retired from active duty, so did he, choosing to stay with her as her cheif of security at the compound. He is in love with Phédre and would do anything to protect her. When Nadya showed back up after being presumed dead and lost, he tried his best to make sure she never found Phédre, fearing she would just vanish again, levaing him and Martin to pick up the pieces of her broken heart. When Phé found out, she demoted him to a guard in her hangars, and told him he would have to earn her trust again.

Natalia Ouroboros:

This very sly linx, is the epitome of insane killer. She has no remorse and thinks only of causing the most pain to as many people as she can. She was sleeping with Saghiri to get an in with the powerful Kanika Clan, but when she discovered this group of pirates had a code of honor, she tired to kill Saghiri for the waste of her time. She disappeared for a while, building her own wealth and infamy and finally resurfaced when she abducted Phédre, trying to put her name on the map as the most sinster of villans in Skytopia. Durning the rescue of the Sentor, her men killed Althea, and when Duxe went to bring the news of Althea's death to her parents, in a fit of anger and revenge for a plot ruined, she poisoned him, nearly killing him. She disappear again, rebuilding her empire and eventually ended up in the slave trade, which to this day Skytopain authorities deny exists, because they fear to face the truth of it. When Jendayi started intercepting shipments of her goods and giving them new identies and lives to hide them, Natalia struck back, taking Zuri to get more information on how to bring Jendayi down once and for all.

Old Man Hopkins:

This 80yr old boar owns and operates the very small Hopkins Skylette. He is on contract with the Armada and must allow anyone in need to land and hide there. His one condition was that onnly people named Hopkins could land, so every Armada pilot flying near his skyland must carry a fake ID showing the last name Hopkins or be shot on sight. It humors the Armada to play along with the senile old man.
