Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Peacekeeper

"Defenders squad deployed for battle!"

-...

The Defender is one of the two basic infantries of the Alliance of Hawke alongside the more defensive Gunner G.Is. Planned to be voiced by Max Mittelman.

Overview
* TBA*

Appearance
Their uniform is based off a typical EU soldier in modern times mixed up with elements of Squad 422 and Squad 7 uniforms from Valkyria Chronicles, with the female variant replacing their pants with a skirt and stockings similar to Alicia Melchiott.

History
Defenders, the Alliance light infantry, are some of the most common of the Alliance divisions. They're the most well equipped infantry in the Alliance alongside the GI. They are armed, armoured, and trained to use the best tactics and technology available to them.

The MX-15 assault rifle, a deriative of the M16 rifle from Aquila, was intended to be the replacement for the legendary USM-01 carbine, and it didn't disappoint. Out of the box, the MX-15 is capable of firing a 5.56x45mm round, which produces massive wounding and hydrostatic shock effects because of tumbling in soft tissue when the bullet penetrates, leading to fragmentation and the rapid transfer of energy.

In combat, the Defender is surgically proficient in the art of war, and can easily dispose of any other infantry fielded, so long as the weight of enemy numbers is not overwhelming. Her only limitation is that unlike the G.I., the Defender is limited by a relative lack of personal body armour and the GI's Sandbags, meaning that successful engagements are decided by flanking and terrain advantage, not diving into the enemy's proverbial teeth.

Trivia
