(Blame this one on this webstrip, which riffs off the Mecha Musume half-girl-half-military-equpiment figures... I intend to use Avril and her human Ramona in stories that are less serious than the "Noah Scott" cycle, although I may write a Ramona/Yayoi crossover or two. If they even show up during the Boskonian Incident, it'll be to run away. -Rob)
Avril Arrow
(Rob Kelk)
Registry Number: CF-105-Z
Base Hull: Replica Avro Arrow
Drive Type: In atmosphere, acceleration (twin Pratt & Whitney jets); in space, speed (Bachmann-Turnar Overdrive)
Maximum Speed: In atmosphere, Mach 1.5; in space, 0.1c
Owner of Record: Ramona Jackson
Flag of Record: Reynolds-Alberta Museum, Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada
Home Port: Helium, Mars
Purpose: Private transportation
Launched: February 29, 2012
Known Vehicle Quirks:
Need my morning double-double: Runs on coffee, preferably Tim Hortons' blend, with two creams and two sugars.
Not "Taking Care of Business" again... The Bachmann-Turnar Overdrive requires playing Bachman-Turner Overdrive music to function.
Vegan: Won't fly if any non-vegetarian foods are onboard.
Crew:
Ramona Jackson (pilot)
Avril (AI)
Known Crew Quirks:
I'm not obsolete! Avril hates Bomarcs. With a passion. She doesn't much like other US-designed jet aircraft, either.
That was never installed in this class fighter... Ramona is expert in military equipment trivia, holds a jet-pilot licence, and knows enough about military engineering to keep Avril flying.
Don't judge us by our looks, eh?: Neither likes violence. Also, there's no room to install weapons on Avril without first ripping out the Overdrive.
Faction: Military otaku
Trivia:
No, not that replica: Avril is not the replica Arrow used in the 1997 CBC miniseries. Ramona built her from the same plans, though.
(Edit: Added in an idea from Epsilon, and clarified one of the Crew Quirks)
