Likes: Spicy food, sleeping in, babysitting Tom's kids.
Dislikes: Night carrier landings, long patrol flights.
Strengths: Provides comic relief in stressful situations, is loyal to his friends and squadron mates.
Weaknesses: Sometimes irresponsible, a bit of a prankster, tends to not take dangerous situations seriously, is easily distracted by women.
History: Was born and raised in the southwestern US deserts. He made friends easily while in school with his laid-back personality and comedic tendencies. These playful habits also got him in trouble quite a few times, whether it be from teachers or school bullies. He never got into any serious fights, preferring to turn and run while throwing a wisecracking remark over his shoulder rather than stay and defend himself. His Islamic heritage gave peers ammunition for insults and jeers. To prove his patriotism, more to himself than to others, he joined the Navy. There he met Tom Bay while on a cruise in the Indian Ocean.
Voice: Tenor with a slight Californian accent.
Theme: n/a
Other:
- Practices Shia Islam
- Callsign is “Romeo.”

Name: Thomas J. Bay
Make: Grumman
Model: F-14 Tomcat
Class: Fighter Jet
Year: 1970
Age: 54
Gender: Male
Eye Color: Grey
Current Paintjob: Grey with black facial markings, black tailfins with yellow tips.
Origin: Chantilly, Virginia
Likes: Spending time at the beach, teaching younger jets how to fly.
Dislikes: Obnoxious young jets, politicians.
Strengths: Experienced dogfighter, strong leader.
Weaknesses: Tends to get impatient quickly, has a habit of shouting loudly when angered.
History: Joined the navy at a young age, when there were very few Tomcats in the service. His first cruise was off the coast of Vietnam when the war was nearly over. He then returned to Washington state to train a squadron of younger Tomcats. That was followed by numerous other cruises where he eventually made it to the rank of Captain. He was transferred to Washington DC to work a desk job for two years. There he met his wife Mary, and together they had Rachel. Tom then went on a cruise in the Indian Ocean, where he first met Tybalt. While he was away Mary had Zeke, who was obviously not his child. Upon return to the US they became separated, with Tom taking care of both children. Mary requested a divorce, though refused custody of either child. Tybalt returned to shore duty with Tom as an assistant, albeit with a more lenient schedule than Tom's. Due to his busy schedule, Tom could not stay at home with his children as often as he'd like, and began paying Tybalt to babysit until both children began attending school. He retired a few years later.
Voice: Low and gravelly.
Theme: n/a
Other:
- Callsign is “Rot” after being the only jet to return to the carrier with the CV equivalent of the disease after landing on a jungle airstrip.
- Once had to fight off three Fishbeds in an Indonesian port when his drunken friend insulted them. Still carries the scars from the battle.

Name: Rachel Bay
Make: Northrop-Grumman/McDonnell-Douglas
Model: F-14 Tomcat/YF-23 Grey Ghost
Class: Stealth Fighter Jet
Year: 1991
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Eye Color: Light Grey-Blue
Current Paintjob: White with light blue stripes along the wings, face, and tailfins.
Origin: Washington, DC
Likes: Tybalt, play fighting with her brother.
Dislikes: Being around large cargo or passenger jets.
Strengths: Is very agile both in the air and on the ground, learned how to dogfight from her father.
Weaknesses: Is extremely timid, has a tendency to hide behind Tom, Tybalt, or Zeke when in the presence of strangers, is mildly afraid of larger jets.
Design: Small, stocky frame with variable geometry wings. Short tailfins canted outward, some stealth ability.
History: Grew up in and around Washington, DC with Zeke. Looked after by Tybalt at first, then went to daycare while the two older jets were working. Remembers little of her mother, but is very close to Zeke. She is very protective of her younger brother, who is smaller than the male Tomcats and Hornets they attended school and daycare with. She was refused military service for being physically weak, and turned to training for mercenary service instead. (Much to her father's frustration.) She developed an interest in Tybalt and, through him, the Middle East. Although she hasn't openly shown her affection Zeke has picked up on it.
Voice: Similar to Meg Griffin (of Family Guy).
Theme: N/A
Other:
- Once tried to fight a Hawkeye during middle school, she was easily thrown to the side. Zeke, whom she was trying to protect, ended up protecting her imstead.
- Is quick tempered and prone to shouting, like her father, though she is more often timid and reclusive.

Just want to say your characters are looking good so far. I like the dynamics between them.

Thanks, I got tired of dealing with art block so I just went ahead and submitted their bios. Hopefully I'll have a couple of ref pics up within the next couple of weeks.
