Since now I've formally introduced these characters, I thought I'd talk a little more about them too!
Lexios is the captain of ENFORCER. She's a massive feathered beast that rivals even the larger bomber type dragons in size, though her lighter sleeker build and engine type allows her to be supersonic and stealthy, which comes in handy as her job is to protect the kingdom airspace from unwanted intruders. Her white colors blend into the clouds from where she likes to ambush trespassers, and her red wingtip is small enough for her squad members to be able to identify it at a distance when she is flying in cloud cover.
She's the oldest in ENFORCER, as well as a war veteran with the most experience in the battlefield, and she sternly commands the rest of the squad like it's the navy (because it is). Renowned for her war feats and particular ruthlessness when following orders, she is a force to be reckoned with that many do not dare to challenge, and those that do rarely live to even brag about their survival. Despite being a girl of few words and allergic to showing emotions that aren't "being stoic at all costs", she does care for her little gaggle of highly trained soldiers.
She is also a war criminal (god forbid women do anything).
The second oldest in the squad, Sur is much more timid than the rest of them. Where Lexios is stoic and commanding, Sur is shy and drawn back from social interactions that involve more than two other people. A war veteran herself, she has much more mental turmoil about the memories of battle than Lexios, and has given up her stealth bombing nature in favor of communication, radar, meteorology and relay support.
Outfitted with specialty equipment and deeply honed senses, she's the AWACS of the team, which means she is the one keeping tabs on all of their positions, coordinates, as well as constantly scanning the horizon for anyone or anything, and notifying the rest. Her red racing ribbons on her wings are a symbol of this disinterest in actively fighting, as they significantly reduce her built-in stealth.
She works on most of her equipment herself as well, and is quite passionate to talk about how it works with her friends, who will gladly listen to her in these rarer moments of conversation.
The youngest of the bunch, Arc is the token gen Z chatterbox overachiever of the squad. Enrolled and trained in the air force from a very young age, they eventually landed in ENFORCER after being reassigned several times due to their absurd speed, which other veteran Jetwings struggled to keep up with.
Having a cold combustion engine, they have an advantage when dealing with any sort of aerial weapons as there is no heat signature to follow, which makes them perfect for recon and scout work as about half of standard weapon types simply won't lock in on them, and they can outmaneuver the other half.
Arc's true passion is racing and flight, and they have found kinship in Octane. Their friendly rivalry over who is truly the fastest often ends in unsanctioned spontaneous races between the two of them, sometimes even when on patrol (which exasperates Lexios, as it's horribly undisciplined) but has never caused a problem as they are quite literally so fast they can get back in formation at a moment's notice.
And last but not least, Octane is the newest addition to the squad. A by all means demonic looking beast, and with the speed to back it up, he is by and large registered as the fastest creature on the current kingdom record.
Octane was an outlaw racer in the fringes on the kingdom, taking part in illegal and highly dangerous racing events, some without even signing up as he would join the ranks mid-race or sneak into the starting line, and garnered renown quickly as he won countless of them in rapid succession. He was caught on a particularly nasty race when the Aerie's air force (including ENFORCER) raided the event after an anonymous tip by his detractors, and was subsequently offered a job in the air force on the spot by Kelan himself due to his incredible talents (much to the disbelief of literally everyone present).
Despite his looks and history, Octane is a total sweetheart despite his teen heartthrob personality, and is deeply loyal to Kelan and his squad, for whom he will fight tooth and nail and laser beam.
And a really rough size chart for them as well. Proportions on their anatomy are a little off since these were quickly drawn refs, but these are their relative sizes to each other!
Lexios is by far the biggest, she is HUGE, even by the standards of similar dragons.
Next is Sur, who doesn't have that much in length, but makes up for in wingspan and surface area. She's actually quite small in terms of actual body size since most of her surface is wing and hood mantle, and she looks much smaller when landed.
Then Octane, he's fairly big for a fighter jet type, but sukhois are famously hugemongous so it tracks. He's bigger than you'd expect him to be, less evident here and more evident when he's next to other jet types, who's average sizes are very similar to Arc's.
Arc is the smallest in the squad, but they're a very compact bastard so do not be fooled by their size, they can whoop your ass.
