Ce n'était pas comme si aujourd'hui était quelque chose de différent pour Jack. Avec ça, il a dit que ça n'en faisait pas moins fastidieux. Papeterie à envoyer aux demandeurs pour qu'ils puissent acheter leur merde sur le marché noir. Le major français Harold Dmitri, l'un des principaux soldats de l'équipe d'élite Aces and Hearts, était connu en Bulgarie pour s'être opposé à Bradley des Chevaliers du Tour avant d'être réaffecté au Front de Russie. Harold était un homme bon, mais il n'a pas beaucoup parlé dont Jack était à la fois reconnaissant, et un peu ennuyé. Comment pourrait-il vraiment connaître Harold s'il était aussi calme qu'une brique. Harold remplissait des formulaires de munitions et du matériel médical pour lui. "Tu sais que je m'attendais vraiment à ce que cette mission ait un déménagement de ces belles femmes. Je suppose que l'assassin avec qui nous travaillons est sexy, et le lieutenant n'est pas à moitié mauvais, mais j'espérais plus de bonbons pour les yeux que vous connaissez." est venue la voix un peu sarcastique de Raphaël Garcia Russo de sa gauche. Garcia... n'était pas ce que vous attendiez d'un homme qui a survécu au Blitz de la côte espagnole. C'était une femme fervente, un git et un bon ami. Garcia était avec Jack depuis son retour à l'U.E. au début et est devenu l'homme qu'il est maintenant. Il avait fallu un peu avant qu'il se serve des antiques de Garcia, mais c'est vrai pour la plupart des gens.
"Tu sais, espèce d'idiot, on va bientôt rencontrer le Général. Je recommanderais de ne pas être toi tant qu'on est là. J'aimerais marcher avec vos membres encore attachés à votre corps si besoin est. Tu es un idiot, mais tu es mon idiot." Jack a dit franchement à Garcia qui a souri et glissé. "J'aimerais aussi vous rappeler-" Jack a commencé avant que le spécialiste de la défense Aoi Amori l'interrompe de sa droite. "Qu'un tel discours est à la fois malvenu, et inutile ici à Kyushu, porc. On est des combattants de la liberté et tout ce que tu vois c'est des bonbons aux yeux? Scum... Aoi grondait comme Jack cringed, et Garcia l'a rasé. Aoi était avec eux parce que Jack attendait les forces mobiles. "Oui, il y a ça et le fait qu'il soit un abruti qui parle, mais c'est tout à part Mlle Aoi. S'il vous plaît, évitez d'appeler mes hommes pourriture si possible." Jack a déclaré fermement comme Aoi a froncé et a reconnu l'ordre. Aoi était couverte de cicatrices sur tout son visage, et de bras. Probablement plus sous les vêtements. Elle combattait Britannia depuis qu'ils sont entrés dans son ghetto dans le nord d'Osaka. Elle avait été capturée, battue, et même torturée par des Britanniques dans sa vie. Avant qu'elle n'eût été une belle femme. Maintenant, elle a été blessée, froide, et prête à tuer n'importe quel Britannique qu'elle a trouvé. -- Oui, je suis blessée, madame. Et toi, ma belle madame, tu as tellement mal à mon frère. Peut-être une tequila plus tard-" Garcia a commencé avant qu'Harold le regarda lentement et secoua la tête qui l'enferme.
"Regardez que nous allons encore rencontrer le patron. Je vous veux tous, et oui, je vous inclut aussi Amori, pour vous entendre pendant qu'on est devant lui. Je ne suis peut-être pas votre patronne, mais je veux juste m'assurer que tout va bien. Après tout, je suis aussi japonais par la loi." Jack a déclaré. Il se souvient trop bien de ce que le respect signifiait au Japon aujourd'hui. Après tout, il était le fils adoptif de Nagamasa Azai. Nagamasa était un homme bon et il avait l'intention de vivre à la hauteur des idéaux de son vieux père. Si seulement jusqu'à ce qu'il ait fini avec tout ce bordel et libéré l'Irlande. Il voulait voir sa vieille famille plus que tout. Jack passa ses notes à Harold qui les reconnut et descendit le hall qu'ils descendaient vers les escaliers. Il devait aller dans une autre pièce. Amori a dit à Jack qu'elle serait dans sa meilleure attitude pour le général Sho.
Comme ils entrèrent dans la pièce, quelques-uns des autres officiers firent de même. Sho les a tous reconnus. Jack était là dans son U.E. noir. L'uniforme de l'officier et salue son commandant par intérim. "Commandant du W-1, Jack Blake se présente pour le briefing de la mission." Jack a déclaré avant de prendre sa place à la gauche directe d'Azaï que Amori s'inclinait très respectueusement à Sho Kurasaki mais ne prononçait aucun mot avant de siéger directement en face de l'ingénieur Roberts. Garcia a couru vers le général après avoir salué et s'être agenouillé à côté de lui. "'Ey patron, vous avez une bonne mission pour nous, n'est-ce pas? On dirait que ça va être une bonne chose, hein? Allez, montre-nous le scoop. Est-ce dan-" Garcia dit avant que Sho regarda directement dans ses yeux et lui demanda calmement, "Ne t'ai-je pas demandé la dernière fois de t'asseoir la prochaine fois que tu es venu dans la salle de guerre? Je répondrai bientôt à toutes vos questions au caporal Garcia. » Sho l'a dit à Garcia alors qu'il branlait et hurlait alors qu'Amori s'asseyait là avec des poignards éblouissants sur lui. Jack était simplement assis là en silence sans se soucier de le réprimander à ce stade. Garcia avait tout le tact d'un phoque d'éléphant pendant la saison de l'accouplement et tout le monde le savait. Garcia s'est assise à côté de Fuuka et a souri à l'assassin froid. "Ah bonjour, ma belle Mon'Amie! Comment se passe ta journée, ma petite veuve noire mortelle? Comme toujours, je suppose? » Garcia a dit avec un clin d'œil, et un sourire chaleureux.
"A l'aise avec vous tous. Sauf le caporal Russo, bien sûr. Nous attendons les résultats définitifs des experts de l'information avant de procéder à la prochaine opération. Les dieux veulent que je vous envoie tous aujourd'hui en mission pour détruire une expédition Britannia Knightmare au large des côtes du continent. Cependant, je suis sûr que la plupart d'entre vous le savent déjà. J'ai nos officiers à double contrôle pour m'assurer que vous êtes tous prêts à risquer votre vie avec une chance de retour. Je préférerais ne pas gaspiller mon meilleur, et le meilleur là-bas." Le général Sho a dit calmement et avec un bord d'acier à lui.
Name: Jack Blake 'Azai'
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Social Status: Four (Area Four/Ireland)/(Unofficially)Eleven/European
Appearance: Jack is a tall man of around 6'0 and weighing in just under 170 pounds. Fit and tough as a nail Jack is in great physical condition due to his tough training sessions he imposes on himself. He has golden hair and dark green eyes. He usually wears a grey jacket or trench coat when out in public and underneath that a tattered black shirt and white pants. Sometimes he wears a old fashioned cap on his head but he usually leaves it at home.
Personality:
Fanatical, determined, and driven to do great things Jack is at home on the battlefield and in tough situations. He believes in freedom is the right of all peoples despite ideologies and or race. He despises Britannia's conquests and feels the need to get rid of the Empire if not at least free as many nations as possible. He is not one to be swayed easily by words and is a fierce opponent on any stage. Though he is willing to admit he is not the very best he still is very adamant in his abilities and is proud of them though he is not foolish enough to boast about them.
Though he is a fervent believer in his cause to overthrow Britannia he is also a harsh realist and dislikes people who overestimate their chances in a dire situation, or are flat out blissfully cheerful despite circumstances needing to be taken seriously. Life is not a party. The harsh world is a very real one for most people and you need to think about the big picture before you can definitively believe that something is possible.
He utterly despises people who are racist no matter if they are Japanese, Britannian, or anyone else for that matter. He believes the mere act of thinking people are sub-human, or trash is disgusting. Even the most oppressive people in the world are still human in the inside and people should be judged not on their skin, or race but one's actions. He is more than willing to put behind someone's past actions if they are willing to do something here and now unless they've been a part of something unexcusable to him in which case he flat out rejects them. In his opinion actions are more definitive than words ever can be.
Though he has no official family anymore he deep down just wants someone he can settle down with and have a family with. The need to have someone or something to say 'this person is my family' is something he deeply wants to say. Moving from place to place has left him with a desire for just the most primal thing a person could want.
History:
Born in Ireland to the Head of the future head Irish Republican Army which was reformed after Britannia took over the whole of the Western Europe Islands his family was well known in Ireland as wealthy land owners and politicians. Though he hardly knew his family he remembers growing up with his older Brother Scott and his cousin Vivienne in the large swath of land overlooking a secluded beach in Ireland. When he was young he used to stay with his mother in the house and listen to his father on TV and while it bored the young lad he was happy to know his father stood up for the best things in life.
Scott and Vivienne were two of his best friends and he idealized them in his mind as the best people around. While he was educated at home by a private tutor he did seek to find as many new friends as possible and befriended many of the staff and many of them doted on the rambunctious young lad. He was happy, content, and loved his father and mother with all of his heart. His most cherished memory was of the day before Britannia invaded where his father insisted that he'd protect him no matter what.
However after Britannia invaded Ireland as a stepping point the Irish Army was bulldozed unable to hold off the more advanced Knightmare Frames however Irish men and women don't stay down for long as before they even moved into Scotland Jack's father organized a resistance movement and stole some of the Britannian Knightmare Frames straight out of a convoy and proceeded to enact swift and deadly raids on Britannian military groups with help from the French Army. Scott was more than willing to stay back and take care of Jack during this time and he taught him the ins and outs of military life including how to use fire arms and how to fight. Jack adjusted to his life quick enough though he dearly desired to go back to how his life used to be. He even seemed to have a talent for piloting as he snuck into one of the bases's storage areas and managed to boot up and use a Knightmare Frame without help. Jack would help make and set bombs and do some minor gun fights with some members of the IRA before his time in Ireland came to an end.
His father decided life itself was too hard in Ireland for his youngest son so his father sent him away to a dear friend in Japan named Nagamasa Azai who was the leader of the Japanese Army's most talented divisions. Though Nagamasa would take on Jack as a son they wouldn't see eye to eye immediately though Nagamasa had much hope for the boy after seeing his determination. Nagamasa would take care and shelter Jack who would take on his last name of 'Azai' unofficially and teach him the Japanese language and culture. Jack and Nagamasa slowly bonded until Jack and Nagamasa were forced to leave after Japan lost the war and Nagamasa joined the JLF. Nagamasa was confident in Jack's abilities and let him join as well when Jack insisted. The two would work together and after proving himself even received a modified Burai to fit his abnormal talents with the machines. However as the battles grew harder Nagamasa decided to lead a futile attack on a Britannian military group in hopes of buying more time for the group and sent Jack away. Jack had nowhere to go so he had resorted to living in the Ghettos living on what jobs he could find and usually under a false name. There he ran a gang of ex-JLF soldiers who made sure the peace was kept as best as possible. Jack coutinued to work there until Zero had started his Rebellion.
Jack then took extra measures and attempted to contact the E.U. through means of a third party. He kept at this until he finally had success though at this time it was far to late as Jack's men soon either rallied to the Black Knights, or were too few to keep things under control. Jack took what was left of his gang back to Europe after the Princess Massacare incident in Japan. He refused to take part in the Black Rebellion and joined the E.U. Military as the first official leader of the Irish 1st Brigade made up of his former gang mates from Japan, and Irish immigrants and obtained the rank of Leiutenant. He proved himself as capable when he was put in charge of a unit of Sutherlands captured from the enemy and broke an Britannian Commando division capturing it's Captain in the process. He coutinues to serve in the E.U. but has been assigned to the W-1 division as it's head officer in an attempt to re-establish a friendly Japan and now serves as Sho's left hand man.

Description: The fifth-generation Gloucester (グロースター Gurōsutā) is a remodeled Sutherland with focus on close combat. Ordinary models are painted a flat, dull purple, but a few ranked-officers units are known to be custom painted. For example, Guilford's and Darlton's units sport a more vibrant deep-purple color scheme, while the elite Glaston Knights mostly retain the standard colors except for their shoulders and the sides of the head, which are blue. The cape on standard-model Gloucesters are a muted dark blue-grey, while those of Guilford, Darlton, and the Glaston Knights are navy-blue.
Jack's personal Gloucester is a refined model captured from a Britannian Officer. It has a white paint scheme, and sports an additional side arm and small sword. It has few improvements from a standard model though it has been tuned specifically to fit Jack's style of fighting better.
