Starry-eyed Bush is the 8th group leader of Bigacorp’s Azure Division, among the most recent to be appointed to such a position. An augmented human of the eleventh generation and recent graduate of the GCD Academy, Bush is among the upper echelons of Bigacorp’s most talented pilots and an adept tinkerer of ACs and MTs alike. Always one to see the good in people, they have on more than one occasion tried to ease tensions between the Azure and Crimson Divisions when canteen altercations arise, though such efforts have never been terribly successful.

Such qualities are not without their quirks, though: Bush’s personal hangar is an organizational disaster of a workshop, cluttered with unfinished projects and other bits of AC hardware paraphernalia. Chances are that any given component model will be spread across different storage crates in at least triplicate because Bush couldn’t find the original, procured an extra to replace it… and then subsequently lost the replacement amid the inventory chaos.

Bush’s AC, MAXIM SOPHOS, is likewise a patchwork enigma of a seemingly headless tank AC, equipped with a host of one-of-a-kind experimental armaments designed by Bush and his associates. It is oddly absent of some livery on its core unit’s rear because Bush couldn’t be bothered to finish decorating the back, even with as little time as the remaining surfaces would take via painting drone.
