“Saint” Elias (@wassup-its-e) & “Firey” Faust (@ghstfoam)

"Saint" Elias

AC: WITHERING HEIGHTS ARENA RANK: 70/R Emblem: A bright red stylized, vertically lengthened cursive “3” that somewhat resembles a sideways heart with the point open (in practice, closer to a cursive lowercase “z” in appearance without the bottom loop.) Wrapped around the length  of this “3” is another, darker red line, like a string wrapping around a central pole. To the left of this “3” is a gold, spiraling pentagon with lines encircling a square. he/they, trans (enby), bi

“I swear I’m not a psychopath… at least, not by your standards.”

Honey-tongued Elias is the former twelfth squad leader of the Ciphers… or so he claims, for it is known with certainty that there has never been such a unit under ConVex. What is not known with certainty is how many lives he took to the grave running an illicit pharmaceutical operation on Artym II* that accelerated the infectivity of an already-deadly pathogen. Such was an “achievement” that he took sybaritic pleasure in, believing himself to be beyond redemption after he murdered his entire squad (the squad part being a claim in dispute amongst the other Dosers, given the uncertainties mentioned prior, but their best guess is that he took the lives of those close to him). The rap list does not end there: among his many actions of questionable morality are money laundering, forced underage labor, and - intriguingly - distribution of saucy images of his physique. 

Regardless of Elias’ truthfulness (or lack thereof) about his past, the authorities being on his tail corroborates his infamy as a plaguebringer; hence, his reputation precedes him in the lawless Grids on Raficon. Yet, even with however many demises he has orchestrated, Elias has resolved to continue to drag down as many as he can to the surface below in the name of simply wanting “more.” Seeing as running a pharma con-job has the side effect of mass murder that gets one’s name on wanted in numerous systems, though, he has opted for a different approach: under EaR, leading Geminite’s crew of “executioners” has enabled his bloodlust, turning the titillating indulgence of killing into a day job. 

While their AC’s composition is far from static, WITHERING HEIGHTS, in its current configuration, is a black-and-red bipedal midweight AC with hints of bright pink. It is armed with more than enough homing micro-missile launchers to bring down a fleet of POE heavy cruisers.

“Firey” Faust

AC: SUNDOWNER ARENA RANK: 71/R Emblem: Four parallel lines of equal length with arrowheads on both ends, running on a southwest-northeast diagonal. The inner two lines (colored cyan) are offset from the outer two (a vivid blue) slightly. A purple line pierces several layers of these parallel lines like a refracting mirror. Overlaying the central two lines is a gold, 16-pointed compass rose. he/him, aroace

“Look around us, look at the hell that is this planet. If hell has no limits, wherever else might we be than hell itself?”

EaR’s many systems technicians are not typically AC pilots, but cool-headed “Firey” Faust, as their manager, is afforded such privileges. Having partaken in the Ision since his teenage years to bury unspecified trauma, he has ingested a substantial amount of the substance since then (though not nearly as much as the knuckleheaded Skumpas). While most Dosers “only” hear the voices of the Ision and experience its hallucinogenic effects, it can affect some individuals differently. In the otherwise unaugmented Faust’s case, it has sharpened his faculties to the degree of a seventh-generation augmented human, with the unfortunate side effect that any sensory pain he experiences is amplified substantially unless he has recently consumed more Ision.

Many a Doser has also borne witness to the… circumstances surrounding him and Elias. Faust himself is typically a rather subdued individual, if one with a near-constant streak of irritability due to his heightened nociception being a nuisance whenever he drops a tool on his foot. Contrast that to the maniac tendencies of Elias, who has on more than one occasion tried to capture images of said feet (bare). The two have nothing short of an unhealthy obsession with each other, constantly bickering about whose team’s duties are more important to EaR and throwing hands in what can only be described as a “zest fest,” going as far as to fistfight each other with their ACs one minute and swapping components between them (in more than a symbolic move) the next. 

Faust’s AC, SUNDOWNER, is a dull green-and-gray midweight tetrapod normally composed of salvaged and smuggled corporate and RRI components, but in the last few months it has sported a mismatched arm; this arm, in fact, originally belonged to Elias’s AC. During one of their mechanized scuffles, WITHERING HEIGHTS’ right arm was ripped clean off its core joint and rendered nonfunctional, so the two did exactly what well-adjusted and upstanding Dosers would do: transplant the remaining left arm onto SUNDOWNER and procure replacement upper limbs for the “Saint’s” mech from one of EaR’s many scrapholds.

Curiously, when Faust and E4-148 meet each other for the first time in person during the events of Route 4’s Chapter 5, both of them are caught very off guard by how much their voices sound alike despite being completely unrelated, a happenstance that Pearl comments on:

“Did you see a ghost, Slab? You look like you’re about to foam at the mouth there!”
