  • No.001: The famous Gray Raven Commandant. Calm, collected and polite individual most of the time. She often comes across as “cold and hard to approach” to strangers though, because of her straightforwardness and distant, quite indifferent attitude.

  • No.002: “A child of the stars”. Born and raised in Babylonia, Eva hails from the renown and influential military family Fotiadis, with wide connections both in the World Government and Kurono, holding a dormant status of its heir due to being the sole living descendant from the main line.

  • No.003: Despite having all the means for a safe and thriving existence, she chose the path of becoming a Commandant and joining the Task Force willingly, greatly inspired by the example of her father, who relinquished the position of an heir in favor of his sister to fight on the frontlines.

  • No.004: “The true measure of a Chief”. Passing all tests a year before the end of the F.O.S. official program before hitting 17, she was granted permission to be deployed for real missions and act as a proper Commandant by Babylonia’s higher-ups. The decision was based purely on evaluation of her skills and had nothing to do with her family name.

  • No.005: Eva wants to try to match those she commands, so her training schedule is very rigorous. She shaped herself into someone who can be active on a battlefield, properly contributing to a fight and protection of her comrades. She’s prominent both with firearms and cold steel arms, but her preference is close combat with twin daggers or short-ranged guns.

  • No.006: Her physical state is anything but normal – with partial heterochromia being just a minor deviation, her body bears the consequences of genetic mutation that created a medical condition close to CIPA (congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis), deeming her very dull to feeling pain and unable to cry. As a child, Eva was operated on by her mother, an extraordinary surgeon, to install a brain implant to help stabilize thermoregulation processes and prolong her life span.

  • Secret 1: A device, installed on the back of Eva’s neck, serves as an interface hub for maintenance and emergency shutdown of her brain implant, prosthetics and optical enhancers. It can be used for any additional extensions, if she ever wishes (or needs) to acquire them.

  • Secret 2: The maintenance of her implants is mostly self-done; the only people she trusts with this process are Lee, Asimov and Liv.

  • Secret 3: Holds the well of knowledge about Constructs, passed down from both of her parents, so is able to perform regular or specified maintenance and partially fix from minor to average damage on the field.

  • Secret 4: Quite enjoys reading books, with a bias going to the paper ones – the feeling of pages under her fingertips has a calming effect on her nerves.

  • Secret 5: Eva doesn’t shy away from speaking her mind even to her superiors, but she knows how to keep boundaries and when to stop if it may bring consequences upon people uninvolved.

  • Secret 6: Due to her family’s high status, the exposure to WGAA education since her childhood was inevitable, so she’s well-versed in arts and music, with predisposition to the latter.

  • Secret 7: Thanks to her mother’s attempts to divert her path from the military, Eva knows how to play piano and compose simple melodies.

  • Secret 8: Has a little peculiar hobby of collecting artistic perfume bottles, following either the factor of aesthetic pleasure or if they remind her of close people.

  • Secret 9: There’s a prominent tendency to recklessness in her battle behavior. More often than not, she charges into battles as if she’s an Attacker Construct, leading to her occasional forceful restrain. Evil tongues call her “mad dog” behind her back.

  • Secret 10: While Eva’s driving/piloting skills are not bad all in all, her style is considered raw and dangerous, so she’s rarely entrusted with a wheel.

  • Secret 11: Good dreams are an impossible luxury – it’s either bliss of emptiness or vivid nightmares of losing everyone she holds dear.

  • Secret 12: No one could ever tell she’s, in fact, very affectionate physically with her loved ones and often craves for touch; if they dare to sit beside her, their lap will be instantly occupied by her head.

  • Special secret: None of the official records has it, but her full name is Evangeline. It was given by her mother and she never uses it anywhere, willingly sharing it only with Lee after a few years of their relationship.

Name: Alex
Status: deceased

Age: 17 (at the time of conversion); 19 (at the time of death)
Height: 179cm
Weight: 67kg
Position: Task Force; Construct, no squad assigned
Important note: non-binary aroaceAlex was a friend Eva made in the F.O.S. college. They entered at the same time, but Alex ultimately changed their mind and underwent the Construct conversion procedure. As they went separate ways, they still dreamt of being assigned to the same squad after Eva's graduation.
Quick witted, cheerful and sociable, Alex reminded Eva of her father, breaking the ice and letting them into her life. They respected her as a person, never pushed too hard on her boundaries, understood her struggles and supported her decisions, while also being the voice of reason and keeping her from harmful ways.
Got heavily infected; killed by Eva as the last courtesy of their friendship.

Eva was a bright and loved child, receiving an extensive amount of care and education since her early years, both in medical and technology fields, resulting in her hightened interest in Constructs and their maintenance.Her father Loukas was her closest person, despite not having a lot of time to see his family due to the sheer amount of missions. He taught her to respect Constructs and see them as living beings with their own feelings, desires and goals.She was in constant contact with her father's elite squad, Night Cougar, who cherished her as a part of the family. They agreed to be the subjects for her basic maintenance training.The Night Cougar were fully annihilated during a difficult mission. The Task Force could only recover a visual module from one of its Constructs, revealing a recording of Loukas trying to drive Corrupted away on his own, which resulted in his death by being overwhelmed by the horde and dismembered on live.Said recording was passed to his sister Rhea. She presented it to his wife Zoe, together with the whole truth, but they're both were unaware of Eva's presence and the fact she'd seen the whole thing with her own eyes, which left her with mental trauma that affected her battlefield behavior years later. Eva was 8 at that time.After Loukas' death, Zoe's mental state started to decline slowly, overwhelmed by the vortex of worry about her only daughter, accumulated work stress and constant pressure of blackmailing from Kurono side, who wanted her back on certain projects; Eva's proclamation to follow her father's path tipped her even further down the line.The mother-daughter relationships were turning more uncomfortable and strained by the year. Eva had to take piano classes as a way to calm her mother, who didn't wish to see her on the frontlines, but secretly she was determined in her decision. During it, she came into contact and became acquainted with Selena, as they both were highborn daughters and moved in the same circles. Selena helped her greatly with getting the hang of playing an instrument and discovering a certain aptitude for music.Everything continued as it was, until Eva turned 12 - when Zoe reached her limit, learning about the project data she'd been helping to gather was used to experiment on children down on the Earth. In an attempt to protect Eva from being involved in Kurono business, but also overcome with shame and depression, earning for release, she ended her life by bloodletting, done in a way that prevented anyone from having any chance to save her.Eva got back home earlier than expected, thus she found Zoe, still breathing. The realization of what her mother'd done was almost immediate, so Eva never called for help - she just held her body, soaked in blood, and watched as the spark of life faded away, laced with faint apologies and foreign tears on her skin.After the quiet funeral, attended by a very few people (including Asimov, who was Zoe's former protege and, later on, a close colleague), Eva consciously cut her hair for the first time as the sign of grief. Her life took a sharp turn to reclusion and never ending study, as it was the only way for her to ignore the void inside.
Nothing remained of that bright and gentle child - she ceased to exist, giving birth to bruised, closed off teenager with an ice cold attitude.The only goal Eva pursued was entering the F.O.S. college as early as she could; chasing after the dream of following in her father's footsteps remained the sole thread that kept her sanity together. Some interference from her aunt Rhea delayed her admission, but in the end, after their countless verbal conflicts and clashes, she achieved it at the age of 15.Eva immediately caught another student's eye at the admission ceremony. They approached her and tried to hold a conversation, but she treated them with polite, yet chilly silence. It didn't stop the person from trying times and again, eventually getting under the wall of her solitude, unveiling a lot of shared interests and becoming her first (and very important) friend in a long time.This person called themself Alex - quite a commoner, coming from the family of Babylonia's technical stuff. They refused to follow their parents, so they opted for enrolling into the F.O.S., hoping to find a purpose there; alas, it didn't turn out what they were looking for either. But the more Eva shared with them about Constructs in their conversations, the clearer their path was getting.Later on, Alex told Eva they're quitting the F.O.S. and proceeding with the Construct conversion, as this looked like what they wanted to do with their life. A promise was made then - when she becomes a full fledged commandant, Alex will join her squad so they can be together again.This promise gave her new hope and pushed her to strive for an early graduation, which she succeed in. Before hitting 17, Eva passed all the needed exams with her own skills alone and got a permission to be properly deployed as a commandant with somewhat limited missions range (thus making it impossible to form her own squad for now, preventing her and Alex from fulfilling their promise yet).The higher-ups at the time were signing up different Constructs for Eva's missions to test her out, including Kurono ones, such as Lee and Vera - she didn't like both of them at first (her dislike for Vera was way bigger than her initial irritation with Lee). Their work synergy with Lee proved to be quite good and efficient though, so they were often assigned together during the next year leading up to her official graduation.During that time, Alex's current squad went missing.
When Eva caught the word of it, she requested a search mission with her in command and got a green light (with a slight, unbeknownst to her, push from her aunt). Tracing their designated mission location and further movements, they were able to locate the missing squad... or rather, what was left of it - some bodies and supplies. As Eva was going through the scene, she was suddenly attacked by seemingly a Corrupted, but it turned out to be Alex, heavily infected.They were able to restrain themselves to at least communicate with her one last time, asking her to end their life as themself and not a mindless husk, lead by the Punishing's impulses alone.Eva oh so wanted to refute them, but her expertise was quite enough to see there was nothing that could be done and the damage was irreversible. She went through one a hell of spiraling, ultimately fullfilling their wish and pulling a trigger on them. Alex died, still sane and with a sliver of control of their M.I.N.D., cradled in her arms.Eva brought their body back to Babylonia and cut her hair again. The next mission, assigned very soon, included Lee, so he accidentally became the target for her poorly controlled anger after he took out the enemies she wanted to kill to drown out her own emotions (she apologized for it later).Alex's death took a heavy toll on her, but Eva kept pushing - if only to respect the people she loved. Having an actual routine helped her not to spiral too deeply, though the vent mechanism she'd developed by charging into close combat and killing as many enemies as she could by hand was not healthy at all and stayed with her for a long time, causing occassional issues with her getting wounded.Still, it all didn't obstruct her path to the official graduation, after Eva turned 18.The story continued as it is in canon then - meeting Lucia, taking up the Gray Raven mantle, Liv transferring by her own request, - with just one small alteration that, following their extensive time working together and having established a questionable, yet still a bond, Eva requested for Lee to be a part of her squad, using her family's connections to get him out of Kurono.By the chapter 1, the new Gray Raven squad has been together for one full year.

  • Extremely rich - despite not being the head of her family, she has a full access to the family's fortune and owns her parents' residence (though she doesn't live there or use it that much, exceptions are when she needs her piano or a very private space for meetings).

  • Dislikes the taste of sugar and sweets since she was a kid - her parents tried to give her some treats, but she ended spatting them out into her napkin. Only eats fruits with low sugar amount - grapefruits, limes, sour apples, passion fruits.

  • Allergic to cocoa beans, so any kind of chocolate is prohibited, which creates a hilarious situation with her birthday happening on Valentine's Day - this fact made both Lucia and Liv very disheartened, as they truly wanted to make chocolate treats for her.

  • Had her share of verbal bullying in her childhood because of her facial moles.

  • A heart shaped scar, located on her left arm, was done by young Eva herself after another rich kid decided to see if she fakes her condition (feeling close to no pain) and repeatedly cut her. She deemed the cuts ugly, so she carved a heart into her skin to make it look sightly.

  • Only pierced her ears when she was 12, after her mother died. The golden earrings belonged to her, so Eva kept them and started wearing them as a memento.

  • Dislikes rain almost to the point of hate; it's tied to the memories of the day when she had to kill her closest friend Alex. The same goes to the color lilac - it was the color of their vital fluid.

  • The piercing in her nose bridge was suggested by Alex as a way to highlight the beautiful shape of it. She thought it over and decided to follow their advice.

  • She has strained relationships with her aunt Rhea and doesn't interact with her mundanely, their talk is mostly about business. Still, Eva cherishes her and is ready to protect if needed.

  • The scar on her left eyebrow was left by the blow of infected Alex, which shattered her mask back then and would leave her without an eye if her reaction time was a split moment slower.

  • Her optical enhancers allow her to see better and react faster in battles, turning her pupils red.

  • She picked up Alex's body herself, delivering it to recycling later; some of their parts she added to her custom daggers.

  • Her braids are usually done by Liv in the morning.

  • She's not good with long-range arms due to the difficulty in getting the feel of them; they call for patience and maintaning a certain stance while she's in need for the constant movement.

  • Once on a mission with Kurono Lee, she took a hit aimed at him, acting on instincts and being afraid after what happened to her friend, and then got scolded by him. This hit left a scar on the side of her stomach.

  • She doesn't want to have anything that can be grabbed or pulled on her neck, thus she wears her dog tags on her hip.

  • Her aptitude for music is undeniable, but her drawings are shit, no knack for art whatsoever.

  • Her wardrobe consists of mostly grey, black and very muted dark colors.

  • She kept both Palefire's and Entropy's coats to use them as her house clothes.

  • She cares greatly about her hair, using expensive care products, puts a very light makeup and perfume on. Sandalwood scent is her pick and what everyone associates her presence with.

  • Earlier on, when her body was fully human, she was able to win in a sparring against old models of Constructs. With prosthetics, she can win against newer models and take a hit or two from strong frames. She's, however, no match for specialized frames, so they deliberately lower their output to spar with her.

  • Turquoise color in her eyes is inherited from her father, but she got lavender color from someone else (unknown) up the ancestral lines, resulting in partial heterochromia.

  • Despite being coldly polite and soft spoken, she won't hesitate to swear or raise her voice if she wishes to do so.

  • You can't trust her with taking care of plants - she will forget and leave them to eventually dry out.

  • The mechanical spine on her back is sewn into the fabric of her bodysuit, but it's connected to the interface hub on her neck. LEDs on the spine react to her emotions, occasionally changing color and its brightness.

  • When her hair is long, she dislikes having it down, unless it's bed time.

  • She loves gifting things to people she holds dear/close or in high regards.

  • She and Chrome have known each other since their childhood, as their families had close contact, and they often met at the high society gatherings. They fell apart in their teen years when Eva lost both of her parents, shutting herself off, and Chrome (Langston at the time) focused on his education as a Smith heir.

  • Cuts her hair short as a way of grieving for the great loss or as a sacrifice - like she's giving the important part of her away.
