After successfully fulfilling his diplomatic mission to the Mamluk Sultanate, Mahmud took the time to go to Jerusalem on his way home for pilgrimage and worship. In the Stratocracy era, he was the only Pasha who visited this holy land. Mahmud wrote a description of this city (during the Mamluk government at that time) in his diary: "This city is always filled with pilgrims and travellers from various countries and various religions. There is the Masjidil Aqsha, which used to be the first Qibla for the Muslims before it was moved to Mecca. "The Al Aqsa Mosque consists of two mosques: the first is the blackish Ash Shakra dome mosque, and the second is the gold dome. The gold color of this second mosque is said to have been built during the Ummayah era. But I don't know anything about the first mosque."
"This city is relatively peaceful and prosperous. Thanks to the Cairo government, which manages it well. And high religious tolerance among its people and immigrants. The population of this city consists of various Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities. However from what I saw, the largest community was many after Muslims, perhaps Jews. Most of them work as traders and skilled craftsmen. It is said that based on the stories of many people here, their community is getting bigger because most of them are refugees from Europe. They fled because of the persecution policies of the tyrannical European kings against them."
"Based on the Sultan's story, this city experienced a terrible fate under the feet of the infidels (crusaders). Then came Saladin from the Kurds, who liberated this city with Allah's permission. But after that, there came an attack by a tribe of horsemen from the Tartars who occupied countries in the Levant and almost took this city, but the Mamluk troops managed to defeat them at Ain Jalut, which became a star of glory for their kingdom, replacing the kingdom of their masters (the Ayyubids). What is clear is that the security and prosperity that I feel in this city will never be achieved except by great sacrifice, and the Mamluks have proven their resilience over it all."
Mahmud Pashas diary (Dr. Ekrem Imamoglu), P.76
Note: Dr Ekrem Imamoglu explains; It seems that Mahmud had difficulty distinguishing or did not know about these two mosques. The truth is, the mosque he is referring to is the Al Qibli Mosque which is black in color. while the new Dome of As Shakrah or Dome of the Rock is golden. But it seems Mahmud probably doesn't know the name of this golden dome mosque at all. so he mistook Al Qibli for the Shakra Dome. vice versa.
left; Al Qibli Mosque. Right: Dome of the Rock. both are part of the Al Aqsa Mosque Complex. not one of them. (Because there has been a misunderstanding circulating, that the Al Qibli Mosque is the real Aqsa Mosque. Even though it is actually not like that).

It’s time to wax poetic about Altair: A Record of Battles (Shoukoku no Altair), a great historical fantasy manga and anime about a very underutilized setting in the fantasy genre: the Ottoman Empire/Turkey. The art is superbly gorgeous and the plot is essentially a war story including the events leading up to it. I’d say the realism in its politics and economics and how those impact relations between countries is the story’s strong point. That, or the fact that the story actively punishes the overly optimistic and idealistic viewpoint of the classic shounen protagonist.
At its core, it’s an alternate history story that reverses the roles of the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, which a lot of readers tend not to like, but as someone who has no ancestral ties to either side of the conflict, it was super interesting to have a non-European nation in a historical fantasy be the main focus of the story for once. That, and I don’t think the story necessarily paints the alt history Turks as the end all, be all good guys. There are definitely points in the story where characters uncomfortably observe how they’re becoming more like the enemy they hate and denounce in their campaign to strike back against their aggressors. And I think a large part of the story is watching the protagonist be forced to compromise his idealistic ideas with the harsh reality of medieval life and being part of a large nation at conflict with others.
Although the anime looks pretty at first glance, I highly recommend the manga instead. The anime is very poorly produced at certain parts of the story that really deserved more. The only good thing I have to say about the anime is that they actually gave the golden eagle (the main character’s companion and a very good boy!) an accurate cry - the golden eagle is often given some other bird of prey’s cry because it sounds less than “impressive”. Aside from that, there are only a handful of scenes I really liked from the anime that did justice to the source material (I SWEAR that One Scene with Beyazit and Balaban was like 80% of the anime’s entire budget).

Wanna give some love to a mangaka that I don't think gets enough credit. Kyoutarou Azuma artist for series like Tenkaichi and Versus as well as the adaptation of King of Fighters.
He can make some heart pumping action and cool visuals.
For me, seeing all of these different manga series from Monthly Shonen Sirius all together in this dynamic layout with their personality shining through in a unifying art style makes me confident in saying Kyoutarou Azuma is up there with guys like Murata and Horikoshi in their artistic skill when they do stuff like this.

I've come to realise that a key problem with LOGH for me is that I don't much care for any characters, apart from Magda. Siegfried is a lovely chap while he's around, but Reinhardt and Yang are insufferable. Being a misogynist doesn't make Reuenthal worth a minute's screentime, except to heave him out of an airlock (which will be done immediately, if he ever appears in a fanfic of mine). Oberstein is a straw Vulcan and the rest of the admirals are props, Mittermeyer included. Don't get me started on Frederica the tea lady...
Wouldn't it be nice if there were another set of Germanic military types, in a world of realpolitik and struggle not created as a pedestal for two unremarkable characters, however fantastically vast and intricate that pedestal was? Who faced the horrors of war more directly than any named character in LOGH, and of being good people on the wrong side? Whose depths of courage, likeability and, of course, inclusivity, perhaps deserved galactic conquest under Reinhardt more than slaughter at the hands of Turks?
Shoukoku no Altair. A better military-political drama for the modern era than LOGH will ever be.

Second Battle of Cinza ( 08/01/79 )
battlefield location of Cinza Farm.
the second battle of Cinza, was a conflict in the Sud Rumeliana region in the second Balt Rhein - Turkish war (78 - 80 CTR) that took place on the 8th, Month of Lale, 78 CTR. in a Cinza rice field, beside the Scoglio river. The Balt Rhein army once again attacked the Sud region led by Generals Fretzen, Adam, and Dirk Witcher. The war ended in victory for the Stratocracy, dashing Balt Rhein's further aspirations to seize sud territory.
Background
The background of this war is unknown. according to Franz Babinger, the invasion of the sud region was carried out in order to take advantage of the reduced strength of the Turkiye troops guarding this region. because most of the troops were diverted for the invasion of the Balt region. however, it seems that the invasion of the sud region was not based on the orders of the capital St. Michael. according to Rhoads Murphey, the initiative of this invasion was from General Fretzen as the general commander in this military operation. without heeding the orders of the central government, asking him to gather soldiers in St.Michael after the fall of the city of Gol. Fretzen saw an open opportunity for the empire to invade the Sud. After sending some Rod Orm in order to consensus the Turkish forces. he began to make preparations in the Rhein region, gathering several commanders and troops with him.
On the 1st, the Balt Rhein Army began to enter the Sud. but bypassed the routes of Cantar, Veleria, and Letra. The Balt Rhein troops attacked several villages, market towns, and looted agricultural produce for military use. reports of this attack quickly reached Saruca Pasha, as Beylerbey Sud, in Espada through Turahan Omer Bey who served as Sanjakbey Cinza. when these reports reached him, Saruca Pasha ordered Turahan Pasha, Karaca Pasha, and Hadim Sinan Pasha to mobilise.
Balt Rhein's troops continued looting until they entered Cinza's rice fields which would later become the battlefield. while the Pashas and Beys of Sud made preparations to attack the Empire.
Between Balt Rhein and Turkiye Troops
The number of Turkiye troops defending Sud is still disputed. first estimates reached 60,000. while the Balt Rhein's own estimate from the census was 40,000. the Balt Rhein historian Schiltberger has his own aesthetic number, that the number of Turkiye troops reached 65,000. This contradicts Fretzen's letter to Adam about his census, which states that the Turkiye army was only 40,000 strong. this may have been due to volunteers taking part in the battle. the Turkiye soldiers were all Janissary infantry. and none were on horseback. they were reinforced with a few cannons.
Fretzen's army consisted of 60,000 imperial standby troops, which were supported by 20,000 light Rhein Hussar troops. the main troops under their own commander were at the core of the flank formation. the left flank was commanded by Tott. the right flank troops were commanded by Mark Blumenthal. as for the cavalry troops that were on the second flank of the troops, they were commanded by Adam and Dirk Witcher.
Battle
Cinza Battle formation
On the 6th, the Balt Rhein Army entered Cinza via the Scoglio River, and began plundering the fields, and agricultural products for supplies during the war. the Turkiye army led by Saruca Pasha had reached Cinza the day before and began evacuating the locals. he let the Balt Rhein army continue to plunder in order to exhaust itself in marching and attacking. and after the Balt Rhein army had collected a fair amount of loot, he began to attack them on the 8th.
The two armies consisted of three columns. the Turkiye right flank was led by Turahan pasha and his son Omer Bey. the left flank was led by Hadim Sinan Pasha. and the core of the Turkiye army was led by Saruca and Karaca pasha who faced Fretzen's army.
The battle began in the afternoon. The Turkiye army was able to withstand the Balt Rhein's attack for a while. but then the hussar cavalry troops led by witcher and Adam began to attack the right and left sides of the Turkiye army. Hadim Sinan Pasha and Turhan Pasha were forced to retreat. next, Witcher began to attack the core of the Turkiye forces on the centre flank. and began to destroy the Turkiye forces on the centre flank. as a result, Saruca and Karaca began to retreat. at the start of the battle, it was clear that the Turkiye forces were suffering a defeat. they fled to a camp near the town of Cinza that had been fortified with cannons, muskets, crossbows and wagen fort. and prepared for the next wave of Balt Rhein forces' attacks.
wagenfort, or chariot, which was used for self-defence against cavalry in the 15th century.
The hussars swiftly attacked the turkiye camp with great vigour. thinking they had won. however, the turkiyee troops accompanied by the volunteer troops guarding the camp rained cannon, musket and crossbow fire on them. killing half of them. adam was killed with an arrow threatening his neck. while the witcher fell from the back of his horse, but managed to escape. seeing that it was getting late, and there was chaos among his troops, Fretzen decided to retreat, and return to his camp.
Saruca Pasha made good use of this momentum. towards midnight, he quietly mobilised troops and volunteers. then made noise with fireworks and gunpowder explosions. instantly panicking the Balt Rhein troops, even for their divisions who were on guard that night. fretzen once again tried to mobilise his troops and make a defensive position. Saruca pasha this time used the wagen fort he had used to guard the camp as a means of attack by arranging it vertically. it was then pushed by buffalo to slaughter some of the Balt Rhein troops and destroy their fences. the Balt Rhein troops tried to escape out of the camp, but ended up as prisoners in the hands of the Volunteer troops. fretzen was mortally wounded trying to fight back, but a janisarry soldier managed to cut off his head with his halberd. now the Balt Rhein troops no longer had a leader, they fled the chaos of war with their comrades. Vasco describes the celebrations after the night battle of Cinza; "the excitement reached its peak, every citizen and Turkish soldier made his comrades laugh at each other. While the locals began to loot the camps of the Imperial troops and reclaim the goods they had looted, others harassed the captive enemy soldiers by cutting off their ears and noses (as a form of revenge)".
Aftermath
Casualties on the imperial side were very high. around 40,000 people were killed in the night attack on cinza. and almost all the commanders were killed in the attack, except Dirk witcher who managed to escape. the initial prisoners after the war were around 10,000 personnel. however, this number increased to 20,000, because Saruca Pasha after the War continued to conduct sweeps of Balt Rhein troops who tried to flee back to Rhein territory. some of them got lost and were killed by local residents. those who managed to return safely were only around 20,000 people.
Casualties on the Turkiye side vary. some say 3,000 soldiers to 8,000. but the second opinion seems to be stronger. the second battle of Cinza was a psychological victory for the people of Sud and for the Turkiye forces. and for the first time, the cooperation of both sides was able to break the Balt Rhein Invasion for the second time since the first invasion 3 years ago. since then the Balt Rhein's dream of reclaiming sud territory was completely dashed. until the fall of their empire a few years later.

The Pirates SMP Kill Tally: an Analysis
(AKA I've been curious about everyone's kill counts for months and finally got around to making the count and the post.)
Obligatory "everything is roleplay" disclaimer.
Criteria for kills
For my own peace of mind, bounties do not count as kills due to the respawn mechanism
We're (mostly) sticking to permanent deaths, so the cast accidentally killing each other in battle via friendly fire does NOT count either
I'm judging by in-game death messages for who got the final blow
Each kill on a Cultist = 1 kill because I don't care about the respawn mechanism on them; I'm just assuming they're all different people and the respawn is to bypass out-of-universe logistics
It's impossible to determine ALL kills due to the established worldbuilding, but we sure are trying our best
Kills are sorted by event for organization; non-event kills and deaths are listed separately
Day 1 / July 30: Recruitment Day
None of the pirates have killed anyone yet! Woo!
Ivy / Corruption: Aimsey (1)
Iris / Cultists: Guqqie (1)
Day 36 / Sept 3: In Too Deep
Against all odds, no one technically dies. Michela shot the crystal that freed Ivy and the Corruption, but by that point, Ivy's been using Aimsey's body as a puppet anyway and p!Aimsey has been officially listed as "fallen" on the POWCreations Twitter since Day 1. So no, Michela did not kill Aimsey; Ivy and the Corruption did
Day 76 / Oct 13: The Rescue Mission
Acho: 1 Cultist, shot from above
Apo: 1 Cultist, shot just after the release of the Yetis
Scott: 1 Cultist, stabbed with a kitchen knife
Iris / Cultists: Marnie (1)
Day 77 / Oct 14: The Revenge Raid
Acho: 5 Cultists
Graecie: 1 Cultist, killed in melee
Kuervo: 1 Cultist
Kyle: 3 Cultists
Owen: 1 Cultist
Ros: 1 Cultist
Scott: Altair, the Right Hand of Iris, who seemingly respawns later for some reason (0.5)
Shelby: 1 Cultist, three-shot
Shep: 1 Cultist
Water: 1 Cultist
Iris / Cultists: Hook (1)
Day 93 / Oct 30: Halloween
Captain Golden Beard and her crew of 890 pirates (i.e. 891 in total) were technically killed by the cursed gold created by Nocturnus and Eclipsa
Nocturnus: Mufasa (1; but I personally don't believe it)
Seapeekay: Nocturnus (1); while two rounds were fought on-stream, both Owen and Martyn's YouTube adaptations use the first round as standard, so that's what I'm going with
Day 112 / Nov 18: Final Wishes
Against all odds, no POV character dies again! It's just the Faction Isles backstory drop lore event. That being said...
Iris / Cultists: Many unnamed individuals; including dozens of villagers [only one named character, Icarus, but identifies the Logkeeper and their cousin (1), brothers (2+), friends (2+)], many unnamed pirates [presumably incl. "Mrs. Caravel" and her two children] (10+)
Although most, if not all pirates end up having to kill the vengeful wraiths/ghosts of the townsfolk, as with Aimsey's case, they were dead to begin with and thus don't count
Day 134 / Dec 10: The Finale
Annotation: Only Take 2 of the Battle on the Faction Isles is counted, but Take 1 kills are recorded for reference.
Apo: 5 Cultists
Graecie: 4 Cultists
Jojo: 1 Cultist in Take 1 of the battle, 5 Cultists in Take 2, Ohca / Insane Cultist (6)
Kuervo: 2 Cultists
Kyle: 6 Cultists
Oli: 2 Cultists, Pip by accident (3)
Ros: 1 Cultist in the Take 1 of the battle
Scott: 1 Cultist
Seapeekay: 1 Cultist
Shep: 4 Cultists
Water: 2 Cultists
Iris / Cultists (offscreen): Olive (confirmed by cc!Apo), Sniff (confirmed by cc!Apo), Scar, Shelby, Puffy, Eret (confirmed by cc!Apo), Reddoons, Tubbo, Michela (9)
Ohca / Insane Cultist specifically: Claud, Saffrie, Finn, the Enchantress, Katie (5)
Other unnamed Cultists: Digby (1)
Ivy / Corruption: Iris (1)
Ivy's own death is hard to pin down, because the positive magick countering the Corruption in her is literally the Power of Love and Friendship, with Cruppy as a sacrifice; it can't be attributed to Iris because she's already dead by that point, but the cast didn't exactly do anything to kill her either
Non-event kills (known)
Iris / Cultists: "Dai", Bek on Day 125 / Dec 1, Will on Day 130 / Dec 6 (3)
Bek: 2 unnamed Cultists that captured her on Day 125 / Dec 1 (2)
Kuervo: Commanders Francesco, Miria, Charrio, Rosaria, Tapia, Miguel, Travis, and Ernesto of the Nayan Armada [Javi and Rodrigo survived the rampage, would technically be 1st degree murder due to premeditation; but let's be honest, we're cheering him on because they're tyrants]; 1 unnamed Cultist on Day 126 / Dec 2 (9)
Martyn: Jeffery on Day 125 / Dec 1
Sausage: At least 2, 4, or 5 unnamed naval soldiers holding his uncle captive in his backstory, arguably in self-defense; reports are inconsistent and the canonicity of the 4 or 5 is questionable because psychotherapy is anachronistic for the setting
Shep: At least one unnamed individual on Captain Merton's orders; p!Will's case could either be 2nd degree or voluntary manslaughter under US laws [for reference only] (1.5+)
p!Acho technically wasn't killed by anyone, but if we had to determine a killer, it would be whoever set up the trap and ultimatum in Kishi in the first place; however, since that person's identity is unknown and presumably lost to time, we cannot say for certain who is to blame. Same would go for Mahara and perhaps countless others
Total kills in the SMP-era (i.e. does not count distant worldbuilding kills)
* is counted for kills NOT in self-defense; battlefield kills or fighting back against captors ARE considered self-defense
Acho: 6, all unnamed Cultists
Apo: 6, all unnamed Cultists
Bek: 2, all unnamed Cultists
Jojo: 6, incl. Ohca / Insane Cultist
Graecie: 5, all unnamed Cultists
Kuervo: 12, incl. 8 tyrants* and 4 unnamed Cultists
Kyle: 9, all unnamed Cultists
Martyn: 1, specifically Jeffery*
Oli: 3, incl. Pip (by friendly fire) and 2 unnamed Cultists
Owen: 1 unnamed Cultist
Ros: 1 unnamed Cultist
Sausage: At least 2 (possibly 4 or 5?), all unnamed soldiers
Scott: 2.5, all Cultists
Seapeekay: 2, incl. Nocturnus and 1 unnamed Cultist
Shelby: 1 Cultist
Shep: 6.5+, incl. unnamed persons*, p!Will* (only 0.5 because the Cultists dealt the final blow), and 5 unnamed Cultists
Water: 3, all unnamed Cultists
Iris, via petrification: 15* named in SMP era; not counting deaths revealed in the Final Wishes event because they're pre-SMP era
Ohca / Insane Cultist: 5 named
Other unnamed Cultists: 1 named
Ivy: 2 named, specifically Aimsey* and Iris
Nocturnus and Eclipsa: presumably 1* named in SMP era; not counting the ~891 backstory deaths from the Golden Isle subplot*
Summary
The characters with the most known kills are Nocturnus and Eclipsa (~892), but Iris would theoretically have the most kills overall stretched out over a millennium; just because the Corruption took over some islands and settlements doesn't necessarily mean the people who lived there died to it (we need hard evidence for that, and we don't)
The only POV characters who have committed murder/manslaughter (i.e. killed outside the battlefield or captivity) are Kuervo, Shep, and Martyn, in that order in kill tally
Despite the above statement and having the most kills for a POV character, Kuervo is still sympathetic owing to the fact every named person he's killed was an autocratic tyrant
On the battlefield, the POV character with the most kills is Kyle, at 9 overall
The survivor who killed the least people is Cleo, at 0 kills; followed by Eloise (0 kills excluding bounties); then Owen (1 kill excluding bounties); then Ros (1 kill excluding bounties and finale battle Take 1)
For the above, Martyn is in that weird spot of "we don't know his whereabouts post-finale" AND he technically also only has 1 kill, but it was premeditated, even if he got the wrong target in the end (i.e. his kills were 100% premeditated)
The deceased character who killed the most people is Acho, at 6 kills, all unnamed Cultists; to note, star is also the first known POV character to get a kill during the canon era by sniping a Cultist during the Rescue Mission
I am NOT studying law for a reason LMAO
EDIT: Corrected p!Sausage's kill count because I completely forgot about his backstory when I made this post.

if you liked vinland saga, you should really be checking out altair: a record of battles. it's more political (like canute pov style) but also tackles how glory blinds people and the mc wanting to avoid war and violence

okay i just rewatched Pacific Rim for the millionth time and, hear me out, a Modern Pacific Rim AU?
Like, the Masyaf Eagle having been originally piloted by the Al Sayf brothers but a nasty battle kills Kadar and takes Malik's arm so now Malik serves as an engineer/command center for the Eagle's new pilot Altair who is in search of a co-pilot. And the only one who can successfully drift (synchronize) with him is Desmond. (Altdes)
Ezio Auditore who inherited the Eden Assassin after his father and brother were killed in battle. Ezio who lost his co-pilot and dear friend Yusuf in a battle. Ezio who is trying to stop his sister from becoming his new co-pilot because he's so scared of losing her like he's lost everyone else.
Edward Kenway and Adewale being totally awesome troublemakers and pilots of the Jackdaw
Haytham and Shay being co-pilots of the Morrigan Revenge and having a ridiculous rivalry with Connor and Arno, pilots of the Phantom Aquila
Jacob and Evie co-piloting the Victorian Conqueror and setting records for fastest kaiju kills.
Bayek and Aya becoming pilots after losing Khemu during an attack and piloting the Hidden One.
Kassandra and Alexios being terrifying co-pilots of the Spartan Misthios
Totally out of left field co-pilots Eivor and Basim who seem so unlikely because they spend most of their free time arguing, but being badass pilots of the Raven Destroyer.
idk i just got really excited
Nooonnnnnyyyy!
You got me excited as well because I love mechas and kaijus! Pacific Rim is one of my most favorite movies ever! (Although, as a huge Del Toro fan, that’s not really surprising XD)
Making it AltDes makes me go jshdafjkhjbhsdasadg
Okay, okay.
I think Shaun and Rebecca could be K-Science Officers focused on why these Kaijus are attacking humans in particular. Now, I was thinking we can make Al Mualim the Marshal in charge of Altaïr and Desmond’s Division and we can keep him as a ‘good guy’ in this setup but, if you still want him to be ‘evil’, perhaps he’s secretly in charge of some kind of illegal project that uses Kaiju parts to create a new type of Jaeger.
Why are we making Al Mualim the Marshal?
Because we’ll make Desmond a second generation of Jaeger Pilots. His father, William Miles, was known as the hero who saved South Dakota from total annihilation so there was a lot of pressure for him to do well.
Hell, he didn’t even want to become a Jaeger Pilot and he had actually run away but he was called back after he got ‘visitors’ who insisted he needed to be escorted to a PPDC base where Altaïr is trying to find a co-pilot. They spar and found out they were compatible but their first few Drifts were so bad everyone starts to doubt that they were actually compatible and, honestly, Desmond and Altaïr didn’t understand why they’re being paired together.
They had nothing in common.
That’s when Al Mualim tells them that they have one thing in common that was clear to everyone during their Drift sessions.
They both had walls around themselves, keeping them from fully synchronizing.
And, surprisingly, it was Altaïr who pushes Desmond to talk to him, to try and understand one another.
Only to be surprised when Desmond asks him, “You’re doing this because Al Mualim told you, aren’t you?”
Later on, Altaïr corners him once more and asks back, “How’d you know?”
And that’s how Desmond realizes that their compatibility might stem from their similar upbringing because Al Mualim was Altaïr’s own William Miles.
Other Unorganized Notes:
The AltDes in this one would be more in line of ‘reluctant allies’ to friends to lovers… probably.
When they become lovers, everyone suffers because they're that kind of couple.
Masyaf Eagle mainly uses a one-hand sword but has a secret short blade on its left arm. It’s projectile weaponry is primarily throwing knives but it will get a gun upgrade on its right arm later on.
Ezio befriends Desmond easily and has a friendly rivalry with Altaïr. He also likes to joke about asking Desmond if he’d like to be his co-pilot instead which just makes Yusuf laugh. After Altaïr and Desmond get together, he makes the same jokes just to get a rise out of Altaïr. (Claudia is in a separate base for training and Ezio always finds the time to visit her or send her messages)
Eden Assassin is mostly known for being versatile, having both short and long-range capabilities. It’s also known for its left hand having a hook blade attachment.
Edward and Adéwalé are one of the oldest Jaeger pilots still on the field. Edward is also Haytham’s older brother and he worries about him a lot. Edward also likes to spoil his young nephew. A lot of people are actually curious how the two of them could be co-pilots considering their personalities but Adéwalé and Edward never answer any of their questions. It is clear that they are loyal to one another.
The Jackdaw has a chest blaster which blasts out four shots (as a reference to how Edward usually has four flintlock pistols on his chest harness). Jackdaw is primarily a ranged Jaeger and its main weapon is a twin pair of gunblades.
Haytham transferred to be Shay’s co-pilot after a huge disagreement between Shay’s old co-pilot erupted and ‘corrupted’ their Drifts too much that they could no longer operate Morrigan Revenge. Haytham usually just lets Shay lead but any time Haytham wants to take the lead, Shay backs down immediately and follows him. Haytham does not approve of Ratonhnhaké:ton being a Jaeger pilot.
Morrigan Revenge primarily uses a long one-handed sword and a short dagger. It also has a grenade launcher on its right shoulder. It’s mostly known for having a head that looks like a taco. (no, I’m not sorry, I will forever talk about Haytham’s taco hat)
Ratonhnhaké:ton and Arno are the youngest Jaeger pilots currently in the field. Ratonhnhaké:ton doesn’t have a good relationship with his father but he’s cordial to his uncle. Arno is the son of Charles Dorian who died in a Kaiju Battle piloting a Jaeger. He actually became a Jaeger pilot to follow his step-sister who pilots a different Jaeger.
Phantom Aquila is an experimental Jaeger and its main experiment is if it’s possible for a Jaeger to have two forms. A humanoid form and a quadrupedal form. It’s faster on its quadrupedal form and it usually takes that form when it’s providing support or distractions. Its humanoid form uses primarily a tomahawk-like weapon and has a crossbow on its left arm.
Victorian Conqueror has the highest record for the fastest Kaiju kills because Evie and Jacob actually cannot handle being drifted to one another for too long. Everyone is keeping it a secret and only their main engineers and support team (led by Jayadeep Mir) know about it. They believe the main reason for their low drift timeframe stems from Ethan Frye’s death… not that Evie and Jacob believe them.
Victorian Conqueror has a cane sword and a kukri-like blade. It also has invincibility capabilities but they’re still working out how to make it useable as it can only be activated if Victorian Conqueror does not move.
Aya and Bayek were actually retired Jaeger pilots. They returned to the field after their son’s death and still uses Hidden One which is one of the oldest Jaeger still on the field.
Hidden One has a lot of possible weaponry at its disposal but they primarily use either a shield and a one hand sword or twin short blades. Supposedly, Aya prefers the short blades while Bayek prefers the sword-and-shield combo.
Alexios and Kassandra are known for having lots of friends… with benefits… Sometimes the same friends even. They also came from a family of Jaeger pilots and are very close. On their time off, they usually go off base to visit their mother. Their step brother is also a Jaeger pilot while their step father is a Marshal for another base.
Spartan Misthios uses a sword and a short blade. The short blade is special as it actually came from an older Jaeger model named the “Spartan King”. Spartan King is legendary for protecting thousands of civilians against a horde of smaller but faster Kaijus, holding down the line as everyone escaped. By the time the Spartan King had been overwhelmed and both of its pilot died, everyone had managed to escape. One of the pilots was Kassandra and Alexios’ grandfather and Spartan Misthios is considered to be the Spartan King's successor.
Eivor and Basim have… very soap-opera level of drama. Raven Destroyer's original pilots were meant to be Eivor and Sigurd but Sigurd was discharged after just two Kaiju battles. Rumors say that he had been dishonorably discharged due to how he acts. Basim was transferred as one of the candidates for Eivor’s co-pilot and they didn’t exactly start well (Eivor punching Basim hard enough that he actually flew across the room may or may not be exaggerated). Still, they do work together whenever they’re in their Jaeger… only to go back to bickering afterward.
Raven Destroyer has a shield on its left arm. It switches from a hand axe or a pair of daggers at any given time and even its fighting style changes from pure brute force to hit-and-run tactics in a blink of an eye, making it a hard opponent to fight.
All Kaijus have codenames based on gods and goddesses.
