Born on April 19th, 2180 on a floating city out in the Caribbean Sea, Zamora Aguilera is of Colombian origin along with her family, raised on a middle-class section of the water afloat paradise. While not much is known of her early life, appearance-wise, she's kind of muscular in shape. She had expressed that she works out a lot, but if there's one thing she liked more than lifting, it was racing powerful AG-craft. Back in the days of the mid FX300 league, Zamora had made a career as an amateur race pilot at the age 22 in 2202. Her first start in the sport still took place on the floating city, racing on a beginner track across the man-made superstructures. Her first craft was a smaller variant of the professional AG-craft from the AGRL but was a dual haul design. More muscle than sleekness, it had great acceleration from the starting line, able to get in front of other racers and getting a big lead until taking the corners. Much like a muscle vehicle it could not take turns easily by its mass and lack of aerodynamics, though it had power overall. She would mostly drag race her craft than taking a circuit, proving her craft's raw power in a straight line. Before long however, she got back on corners now racing on official circuits like Vertica, becoming her favorite course throughout the years.

Zamora would show her potential for professional racing, winning enough amateur events and attention to get an invite to the city's AG-club/show event where she had shown off her craft including meeting/competing other skilled pilots. The event was also where teams from the international stage showed off their production models, specifically Auricom, FEISAR and a portion of Piranha. She was introduced to a variant ship owned by piranha where her given test flight took to the city's test track. This was a VIP gift to any member allowed to handle a craft, and Zamora was given the honor to experience racing on a bigger machine. It was the best experience she ever had in her life, inspiring her to compete in the major leagues of racing. Getting the attention of teams from the AGRL however would not be easy, but earning a sponsor should show her worth for professional teams to hire her. She gets another boost of attention after winning a televised amateur event on the floating city while now traveling to Vertica upward in the Caribbean for another major race including seeing a professional race of the teams themselves. Finally, Zamora would receive her first sponsor on the same track, including offers by few of the teams to race with. Zamora would choose to race for Goteki 45.

Choosing Goteki 45 for its acceleration, she would now travel to Makana in 2204 to train with the team's craft at the Makanian AG-Academy. Goteki's new Kilauea prototype craft was heavier and a dual hull chassis variant almost similar to not just their F7200 model but also her own, feeling right at home. Getting use to yet another ship for less than a year, Zamora would soon become ready to compete professionally for the upcoming FX350 League. As the time came for the 2205 season, she was sent off to North America for the opening ceremony.

Throughout the FX350 league however, Zamora was kind of an Underdog against the professional group of pilots, always coming as a mid pack runner and hardly gained a reputation than she did as an amateur. Still trying to gain a podium spot, she was able to receive first bronze during a Southern American tournament in the remaining months of 2206. In 2207, she would receive silver in Makana during a Gamma tournament, including another sponsor. Zamora would also take part in the VX league to drag race her craft, proving herself strong in these events overall but was unable to challenge the top 4 elite. About a year later, she then meets her new lead squad teammate, Noelani Kekumu, only 6 years younger than her, but was an ace pilot to Goteki 45. Both instructor and in a way a team ambassador, she was the most respected pilot in the current AGRL. Zamora and Noelani didn't just form a partnership, but also a small friendly relationship, more reasonable and good spirited than Noelani's last wingman, Aku Tanaki, taking only matters into his own hands in most combat events until going rogue much later on in the AGRL.

Continuing into the FX400 in 2212 to 2214, Zamora would only come out decent for the team. While not the best that Goteki had to offer, she does her best to gain a spot with the most talented pilots out there. Mostly racing as an independent pilot, her loyalty for Goteki 45 was quite low, but she continued to race along with her lead pilot, Noelani, for support in team races. By the FX500 league in 2215, Zamora would soon go by her own choices.

In 2217, Zamora Aguilera would continue to race for Goteki 45, coming out once again as an above average pilot earning only 12 medals including from the VX league. (4G/4S/4B) Her lead teammate, Noelani would also drop out of racing a year later, only to become an instructor and co-head of the Makanian AG-Academy, not retiring from piloting AG-craft anytime soon. As for Zamora, her progress in the league fared well overall since her debut back in 2205. She plans to transfer teams in current 2218 but is unknown who she'll race for. Whatever team she may join, she hopes for better success overall in the long run of the FX500 racing league.

Aku Tanaki is a Polynesian Maori native from the northern part of New Zealand. Born on an unknown date in an unknown village, Aku was almost animal-like than the rest of his people while growing up. He would see himself as a Warrior, but his family didn't think so. His mother and father would find and take away his handcrafted weapons as a kid, but that only made it worse for them as he got more violent. As a teen he would start fights around the village, realizing they don't see any good in him as he threatened the other families close by. How he became so violent was unsure, as if he was back in the days of their native people centuries ago. There was even a time where they thought he was eating human flesh, shocking his family thinking he has gone too far than to be civilized. Aku was too much trouble that nobody wanted him in the village. With no other choice he was banished at age 19, living out in the wild.

Aku had walked for days and survived by using his hunting skills, until coming towards a facility outside of urban territory. He was founded by workers by a fence close to a test track. What the facility was is a sub headquarters built in New Zealand by Goteki 45, originally coming from Makana miles away out in the pacific. The staff thought he was some lost survivor out in the Zealand jungles. Dirty, malnourished and hardly wearing any clothing, Aku was taken in the facility only to be fed, thinking he was famished. They have no idea how long he was out there or where he came from. He can talk to the people in the facility, but they didn't seem to understand him, despite speaking in English. The crew left him to figure out where to take him, until he began wondering around the facility.

Aku would head into a hanger bay as he spotted something he had never seen before. The people that left him soon find him, upset that he walked off, until he asked the question, "What is this Machine". Aku has now seen an AG-Craft for the first time; though he had seen vehicles around his village, they were never anything like it. Out in the wild he also saw flying objects in the sky but was not sure what they were. The craft in the hanger was going under gravitational testing, and as he saw the craft float, he thought it was magic holding it up. The craft itself was a first design by Goteki 45 to enter for the mid FX300 league. As for the things he saw flying in the air, they were just commercial AG/vtol-craft flown by citizens from a nearby city. The crew was about to escort him out, until Aku answered: "Let me ride this thing." A hanger crewmate would answer: "Look buddy, this place is private, we can't let you just pilot th…." Suddenly Aku attacks the worker by pushing him to the ground, as the other person reacts and approaches him, "Hey what the F**k, man?" Aku then switches and knocks the other over as he then reaches for a tool to use as a weapon. As he was about to strike, he was suddenly interrupted by a figure in front of the exit.

"Stop!" said the man, as Aku lowered his weapon. "Let him pilot this craft." The two on the ground look up wondering why, as they saw the co-director of the facility and team. Co-director at the time, Loto Kahanamoku was Kaeo Manumaleuna's co-partner from Hawaii, taking control of the New Zealand facility for Goteki 45. He was responsible for hiring a few specific pilots for the reformed team, but unfortunately with Kaeo in search of more precision pilots, Loto had been searching for more aggressive type. Loto use to have relatives that use to race for Goteki since the F7200 league. Knowing about their troubled pass, he still continued to bring back the aggressive style of Goteki, seeing that it was more of an advantage than pure racing and the rightful way to win. But Kaeo had other thoughts. It was hard to even find pure pilots to have them race for their team. Goteki 45 had an infamous reputation of being such an animalistic team in the past that no one in the AGRL respected them, and with the resurrection of the team in 2195, Kaeo wanted to change the team's direction, yet Loto still wanted it to be the same. After discovering Aku's rage with the 2 workers, he looked to be a perfect choice.

Loto reasoned with Aku, promising him that racing with Goteki 45 will make him stronger and fulfilled, playing with his warrior nature. Aku looked interested as Loto tried to shake his hand, making him trust him but also stabbing Kaeo in the back for it. From then on, Aku had privately been trained by Loto in the facility, piloting Goteki's FX300 Kilauea model craft. Aku was getting use to the controls of the craft but was also encouraged to be reckless with it by taking advantage of the other test pilots on the test track. For only a few weeks in training, He and Loto believed that he was ready to compete, despite Kaeo wanting at least a year's worth of training for new pilots. In 2206 at the age of 20, Loto sends Aku to Makana for the final season of the FX350 league, racing on a new craft by Goteki 45, the Pinatubo.

Aku was officially racing with Goteki, but despite a couple weeks training, it didn't seem to matter as he was a beast in every race he entered. As Loto expected, Aku was racing violently against the other competitors, making it easy for him to eliminate most AG-craft on the circuit, sometimes making it in first place. Before a race however, Aku would traditionally wear war paint on his face every time he races and is known to pilot the plain yellow livery craft, sometimes putting war paint on his craft as well.

As Aku continued racing now in the FX400 league, he was soon witness by the main Director of Goteki 45, Kaeo Manumaleuna, and what he saw, disappointed him. Aku was way too violent, as Kaeo approached his partner Loto about this "bad influence". Loto admitted that he had trained Aku and for letting him race this way. However, by admitting this led to Loto being fired from co-directing chair, seeing that Goteki 45 was still influencing aggressive pilots. Kaeo could have dismissed Aku from the team, but Aku would now own his craft and was mostly racing independently, not wanting to deal with him. Kaeo would soon change this around when he discovered a student in Makana that was willing to race with Goteki 45 purely and dedicating back in 2205. This pilot was Noelani Kekumu.

Noelani had run ins with Aku before, even as a wingman, but Aku was always disobedient with her and would sometimes fight back, leaving Noelani to remove him from her squad, soon finding Zamora Aguilera. He also makes a complete grudge with one of Icaras' lead pilots, Edgar Lawrence, for being the weakest craft on the track. Overall, Aku didn't need a wingman, and he didn't care about being successful, just to be what he thinks he truly is. By the FX500 league, he still races his FX350 craft, seeing how Goteki 45 themselves refuse to give him the new Krakatau model craft. However, despite not receiving any sponsors or much reputation, Aku would soon be an interest to few other teams. Teams like Qirex and Triakis would find interest in him. And as for Loto Kahanamoku, Aku would soon meet him once again.

In 2217, One team would succeed in poaching him from Goteki 45 after he was withdrawn from the team entirely. However, while now traveling to what was a Bulgarian bought team HQ located in Greece, Aku would meet Loto again, now working for this strange team ran by a team Principal that calls himself 'The Benefactor'. Still a mentor to him, Loto now guides Aku to what is described as a much stronger, faster craft. Able to plow right through competition while also showing a vast top end speed. Meanwhile, Auricom and Qirex and their supporting teams were at war in the racing league, bringing their destruction in returning eliminator events fighting over control for the race commission. Aku would absolutely savor it by looking at the violence coming from each side, but his time would only come till 2218, required to train on this new craft around a makeshift track. Overall, he has earned around 13 medals in his career. (6G/3S/4B) As the time comes in 2218, Aku would be seen wearing a black and maroon pilot suit during the opening season at the Amphiseum. Most of the crowd would go quiet as the team he was now racing in would become the resurrected Tigron Enterprises, now piloting what is a new version of the infamous K-VSR craft. Noticeable nowadays with his Maori tattoos on his body and face, he will still become the most intimidating and dangerous pilot in the AGRL.

Born on November 19th, 2177 in Sheffield England, Edgar Lawrence was just a regular individual who had done whatever's best for his parents. However, going to school like all children around Britain and graduating from highschool, Edgar had thoughts of joining the Navy, serving his country and experience a journey of a lifetime in which he thought was up to the challenge. While still continuing to go to public school for the rest of his teen years, he would soon departure off to the military, leaving his parents behind.

Edgar's assignments while joining the Navy out in the British coast took him on the HMS Lapyx air carrier, part of the British Royal Navy. As of course, he chose to pilot fighter aircraft, and would take many procedures in order to pilot one. Testing positive on health and awareness, Edgar was off flying aircraft out in the sea, but despite his amusement in the air, he took himself very seriously and had become very skilled when flying an aircraft. His skills impressed his captains and other air-pilots during a number of sorties, awed to how fluent his flying was and having thoughts of him taking on an AG-craft after he would be dismissed from the ship. Edgar had stayed for roughly 10 years with the British Royal Navy, and during time, even taking part on air missions throughout the years, his skills had gotten more impressive, earning ace and a captain's position, leading his own squadron. The reaction time on his turns gave the impression as to how AG-pilot could fly through very close circuits on an AG-craft. Word would spread around the ship that perhaps one of these pilots including Edgar could have a chance at the upcoming FX350 league in 2205. Sooner or later, that option would come to one of them.

By that year, Edgar was dismissed from the air carrier and was taken back to Britain, only to be given a personal letter from Icaras' team principal, Conner Burns, offering an opportunity to continue piloting but in terms of AG-Racing. At first, Edgar wasn't too sure to continue on as a racer, but his old captains would convince him otherwise, thinking he has what it takes to control an AG-craft. Seeing how flying had amused him over the years, AG-racing would become even more of it. Willing to take on another challenge, he takes that opportunity. The director would like to see Edgar at his headquarters the next day, expecting to meet him at the lobby.

Waiting for the director of Icaras at an HQ in Dover UK, Edgar would see Connor Burns arrive at the front doors of the facility, coming from his resort in Makana just to meet him in person. Burns knew he was meeting with an excellent pilot, giving Edgar a great welcome to the Headquarters while offering him some tea. Like back on the Carrier, Edgar was shown around the facility, and was introduced to Icaras' new AG-Model craft, currently in testing for the FX400 league coming in 2207. The craft was light and aerodynamic but lacked on shield armor. Edgar was granted to be a current test pilot for the craft, as he began to take it to its paces out on the track of Talons Junction. The craft's cockpit was similar to the aircraft he flew on the carrier, feeling right at home. However, certain controls on the craft were very different, making it kind of confusing at first. But as he grew on to it for weeks of pilot testing, Edgar would become satisfied, getting use to the cockpit controls including the experience piloting the craft overall. Once testing was completed, he and the other pilots began a journey to North America for the 2206 opening season.

The Icaras team was confident that their new craft design will take the title as the fastest team in the league. However, their speedy rivals from South America would show some improvements with their craft since the last AG-League, while Goteki 45, showed a much stronger and aggressive craft, making the pilots kind of nervous. Edgar however was up for it, but while looking at a female pilot next to him, she was feeling shaky and tense as he tried to calm her down. The female pilot had a thick German accent when speaking to him, feeling scared to pilot the craft than she was with the other teams.

Edgar spoke to her: “Hey, is anything alright?"
The female pilot answers, not use to English pronunciations: “..Ich.. Ich weiß es nicht. E don’t know. E don’t know vwhat I’m doing here anymore.”
Edgar: "Don't worry too much. I'm sure you can handle this."
Female Pilot: "But vwhat if E crash?"
Edgar: "Just remember your training, start slow on the controls and you'll feel use to it right away, if you're still not too sure, don't be afraid to use the auto-assist."
Female Pilot: "Last time E did that E lost control. Please, vwill you fly vwith me, E can't handle this yet, aose oth pilots look aggressiv, E must neet assistence."
Edgar Thinks: "Well, that depends on the race. But if you're really in need of a teammate, you can stay with me."
Female pilot: "Oh, thank you, uh…"
Edgar answers: "Edgar Lawrence, at your service."
Female Pilot: "Yvonne, mu…muh nome is Yvonne. Excuse my speech, muh English is not too good. Ich bin Deutsche. Germ."

Yvonne Schottel was a rookie from Icaras that had just made it to the official league, coming from Germany though was raised in Austria. Yvonne had a bad experience while flying an AG-Craft, but she actually had a fear of flying after almost ending up in a flying disaster. Ever since then, she had been afraid of falling heights, thinking she would be better off on the ground flying AG-craft for a living instead, still having experience as a pilot. However, during a practice flight in Talons Junction, the high-altitude track got the best of her, losing her confidence and pinballing her ship by switching on the assist in panic. She had been nervous to control an AG-Craft and was even afraid of going off course. Though accepted for the AG-League based on her acceptable progress before the incident, she didn't want her fears to get in the way of the opportunity, only to be very anxious. Partnering with Edgar would be a huge relief for her, feeling calm with an experienced pilot. They continued on the arena track in the Amphiseum with the rest of their team, showing off the craft, and it was then on the two pilots would form a squad together.

Edgar was no novice in the league, with skills as the Navy pilot, he performed beyond professionally. The top speed of the craft made him unstoppable during AG-Speed events, until meeting up with the Speed leaders of the VX League. Piranha's best Speed pilot Thiago Castillo posed a major challenge during a straight run on the Makana Bay Bridge west of the Island of Makana. Thiago had close finishes and always took home the gold medal leaving Edgar on 2nd or 3rd place, runner up with Triakis Speed Pilot, Liana Morelli. Edgar would continue in normal events during the FX400 league in 2207. In the course of 5 years, he has earned 7 gold medals and counting, including 2 trophies during the beginning of the decade. He manages to win the 2210 VX Speed Championships against his two arch speed rivals, winning up against Thiago just inches from the finish line. In 2211, his second trophy would be shared with team partner Yvonne Schottel during a Rapier Team Tournament across Europe. For Schottel, it was the first ever tournament she has won during her career as an AG-Pilot.

Edgar received many sponsors during the last five years, including hiring another team pilot on his squad, 18 year old Jacob Reilly, hailing from Ireland. Like Yvonne, Edgar quickly made a partnership with the teenage pilot, even teaching him hints while on the track together. Jacob would continue to race on his own however, while Edgar still raced in team events with Yvonne. As for relationships with other team pilots, Edgar would still hold an arch rivalry with Thiago Castillo. Both pilots still took a grudge in speed and normal events including Liana Morelli, making up a rivalry triangle throughout the VX Drag Racing League.

With recent new rivals in 2213, Edgar would also face Goteki 45's Aku Tanaki. Out of nowhere, Tanaki began attacking Edgar in a certain number of combat events, posing as a weak craft. Despite the heavy craft of Goteki, Edgar would use his instincts from the Navy during combat-based events, having him almost survive every weapon enabled race he competed in. These tactics would also help him in eliminator events years later. As for Aku, he still showed mean spirit towards the British pilot, and would almost start a fight with him, even before races. With allies, Edgar would only count on the team's main allies Qirex-RD. Surprisingly though, despite issues with Goteki 45, he was also acquaintance with Goteki lead pilot Noelani Kekumu outside of racing, showing that the arch rival team isn't too mean spirited after all. With Yvonne, the relationship also grew as she continued to have the courage controlling a craft in faster speed classes, facing her flying fears overall. She would then show a small affection towards Edgar in later seasons.

2215 would upgrade the racing league into the FX500 as the teams would bring in their latest Fury prototype craft suited for the next gen of AG. Edgar was one of the first to introduce Icaras' new craft opening a new season with a faster and stronger ship in the league. In continuation, Edgar continued to face newer challenges, and possibly earn the fastest pilot title in this neck-breaking sport, only to be sided with the fastest female pilot in the world, Liana Morelli. Unfortunately, Liana's career would officially stop in 2214, after dealing with a race accident in the All-Star Championship, only to retire in glory promising one more round win, finishing the championship overall. Edgar was then left with Thiago Castillo, only for him to retire major racing as well. At this point there was no one getting in the way of his racing progress aside from rogue Goteki pilot, Aku. Edgar would earn his place as one of Icaras' elite pilots the same year, standing next to pilots like German, Sibrand Van Saur, Austrian, Esmail Malki, Irish, Julia O'Connell, and Dutch, Agusta Van Agteren. The four aces of Icaras would proudly be introduced once more by director, Connor Burns, in the next opening season leading into 2217.

The current year would be a violent one for Edgar, getting in the crossfire of two battling sides fighting over for the race commission. Going on since 2215, Nadia Elenova's Qirex-RD wages war on the Belmondo Foundation, fighting against Auricom and etc. throughout the FX500 league. Though Icaras was an ally of Qirex, they remain neutral throughout the conflict, not risking their new Alaunus model craft even for their allied teams. Connor Burns was a good friend to Qirex director, Feliks Levovitch who was still in control of his company at the time, but possibly not for long. Nadia's new position as race director however was where Connor could not support the team any longer yet doesn't take sides with the Belmondo Foundation. Despite being cautious within events of the league, Edgar would risk taking his craft in open eliminator events, proving he could fight even with the team's disadvantage in combat-based events.

Edgar Lawrence. What was once an ace pilot during his service in the military proved to be one of the racing league's very best of the current generation. Having much skill carried over in adapting to a high-speed low to the ground AG-craft, would give him the rank of a veteran pilot in future seasons. He has gone through a good number of leagues including the VX division, proven to be the fastest overall by Icaras. With over 27 medals and counting, (14G/8S/5B) it should be enough to be accepted as a contender for the ASC. However, there is no confirmation from Conner Burns of his acceptance at this time.

Yvonne Schöttel was born on October 13th, 2185 in Munich Germany. Her parents were from different countries; her mother was German while her father was Austrian, and during some time as a child she had moved and was mostly raised in her father's home country of Austria. While most of her early life is remained unknown, Yvonne started piloting aircraft at the age of 18. Along with her father they were both aviation pilots, being taught by him as well as taking a flight school in Innsbruck. For over a year, Yvonne had progressed her experience in the air, falling in love with it as she took to skies out in the alps. She enjoyed flying across the beautiful mountain range surrounding the valleys that hold the incredible city. The sky was always her true home, not wanting to come down for anything. But unfortunately, one terrifying experience would scar her for possibly the rest of her life, changing the way she thought about flying.

It was a nice clear day in Innsbruck, Yvonne, as well as her father, went out on an old ion powered VTOL aircraft in the late afternoon out in the mountains. They flew up to a good altitude, seeing the sun setting down reflecting the snow off the cliffs below. Everything was going well, until Yvonne started to have trouble with the electronic controls flying the aircraft. They've checked the battery before taking off and were unsure what the problem was going through the control panel. All of a sudden, 3 of the rotors had stopped turning as they started to descend from the sky and began dipping/spinning the aircraft down. Yvonne couldn't balance up the craft, nor reset the rotors. She then starts to panic as she was facing the ground while starting to spin faster. Her father immediately tries to reset the system, unsure how much altitude they've lost as his daughter begins to yell at him to fix it. Yvonne thought she and her father were gonna die, crying as she was about to give up hope until her father got the system working again. She was told to turn on the auto pilot to balance out the aircraft, seeing the trees below get closer and closer until the craft straighten out with Yvonne pulling the stick all the way with the low altitude warning blaring off. They began to lift up just a few feet from hitting the ground or trees. Right away they set out for an emergency landing reaching the valley before any more problems could occur.

As they got back, Yvonne was just glad to be on the ground safely, still trembling from what just happened only for her father to calm her down. She had never felt so scared in her life, almost facing death including her father. As the aircraft was inspected, it would turn out that the battery was faulty after all. Considering it was also an old VTOL aircraft, the components were never up to date or replaced. Luckily for them, they were able to turn on the rotors again and kept it in the air for a while until landing. Eventually the aircraft would be replaced of its parts, making sure that it won't turn off on them or anyone else again in the sky.

A month would pass since the incident, and Yvonne had never gone back to the sky since then. Still traumatized, she has sworn not to set foot or control an aircraft ever again in her life, giving it up as a hobby in general. Her father would continue to fly overall, but the absence of his daughter wouldn't the same or when she flew for him. However, Yvonne still missed controlling a craft, yet she never wanted to go back up to the sky. Still having experience and great piloting skills, she didn't want to throw it to waste. When the FX350 AGRL was announced, Yvonne had a solution. Thinking she still had what it takes to be a pilot without risking being in the air, she would make a decision by transferring her skills into Anti-Gravity racing. Her father thought, "If it makes her happy, I'll substitute this as her way of expressing her pilot skills." Eventually, Yvonne takes a bullet train west into France, signing herself to become an AG-pilot at age 20, in 2205.

Taking her training at the FEISAR HQ academy outside of Paris, Yvonne had made quite an impression during the first year of training, giving her a spot with the Icaras team in Great Britain. She took another step on an open track with the Icaras craft in the UK, having a faster feel while controlling it. Though already making it to the FX350 league and excited to enter, she has yet to pilot a craft on an actual course. She goes to Talons Junction to test with the other rookie pilots, only to have a first glance of the track which made her feel a bit uncomfortable. The track was pretty high off the ground, as Yvonne's fear of falling started to set in just by looking down, flashing back to her incident. Setting up for a test run looking down on the track, she would also visualize the track becoming narrow, now nervous to take it on at a high-end speed. She was testing on Flash, yet it was still fast enough to where she must use the airbrakes in tight corners. However, Talons Junction was an easy track, only to get tighter at the end of every lap. As Yvonne saw the rest of the Icaras pilots take off one by one, she nervously takes off right after.

Coming off the starting line, Yvonne carefully followed the pilot in front of her, taking the first few turns pretty good. On the second straight, she tries not to look down on the clear track below, focusing on the pilot in front of her and managing to reach the next tunnel. However, coming up was a big loop taking on the maglock part of the track. As she looked up and took the loop, she would close her eyes going over it, only to scrape her craft on the sides while quickly trying to straighten it out. At this point, she was starting to shake anxiously again, losing track of the pilot in front of her. While going through the chicanes quite easily, it was after going into another dark tunnel where she suddenly faces her big challenge on the course, taking a hairpin turn. Unfortunately, while taking the turn, she forgets to use the airbrakes and was about to hit the side wall coming up. In a panic, she instead switches on the pilot assist, only to turn it on at the worst moment possible, causing the craft to ping pong out the turn too sharply. Violently being forced side to side and too scared to level it out, she switched off the auto pilot only to slam the craft on another track wall, spinning the craft around and scraping the wall drifting backwards. She just stayed there on the track, still floating as aid came by to see if she was alright. Yvonne was not injured but was badly shaken. She blankly stared at her cockpit while paramedics tried to remove her, still shaking and quickly turning her head by her nervous reactions as they tried calming her down. She was taken back under the track hangers where she then relaxes from her incident. Unfortunately, this would also scar her throughout the racing league.

Yvonne never thought she would have an experience this bad first time in the league. It didn't help that her fear of falling had intervened, first trying out her run on Talon's. She was also not use to the narrow tracks, only familiar with the open courses back at the academies where she had trained herself. It was smart of her to turn on the pilot-assist, yet her panic caused her to switch it on at a track corner, only for it to unreliably straiten the ship out while still heading towards the track wall, causing the ping pong effect with her craft. Even worse, her official season was starting in a couple of days in North America, traveling with the team to enter their AG-craft for the FX350 league in 2206.

Though flying on a Blimp Airship to Navada USA, her fear never gave in just as long as she didn't look down at the front of the ship, showing a view of the ground below. While successfully docking at a port near the Amphiseum in Las Vegas, Yvonne and the rest of the new Icaras pilots headed to the arena to introduce their team for the new season. However, Yvonne was the only nervous pilot currently in the lineup, looking anxiously at the other pilots from other teams. Suddenly a pilot next to her speaks, asking if she was ok. She looked at his nation badge of the Union Jack on his upper right shoulder, realizing he was from Great Britain. Knowing some English, she spoke to him in a thick German accent. The tall male pilot would look at her as she begged for help and advice. Without thinking, she then asked him for assistance in races, possibly as a wingman. The Pilot would give her some tips including a promise to become a squadmate, as Yvonne thanked the him and wondered of his name, introducing himself as Edgar Lawrence. Edgar once served in the British Navy as an aircraft pilot, only to be dismissed and came into AG-Racing. Use to piloting aircraft, it was no different to him on an AG-craft; Yvonne could relate to it. As the introduction was over, they both went their separate ways, hoping to meet again sometime soon.

Yvonne tried to gain rep and worth in races for Icaras in the first season. However, she relied closely with the pilot-assist in every race/event she entered. Unfortunately, she would struggle to catch up with the other team pilots, despite having the fastest craft on the track. Though using the assist, she was still nervous to take on tight turns, even on venom class by slowing down. Yvonne also refused to race on certain tracks in some parts of the world as her fear would still haunt her just by looking at its sections. Moa Therma for its sideways loop, Metropia for its drop, and Sol 2 for obvious reasons, including other AG-tracks similar to them. Because of this, Yvonne's rank became very low with Icaras' best pilots, not even picked for any tournaments around the world and would remain so for a few seasons. She didn't know what to do, realizing her fear and anxiety were keeping her from improving, only to remember the pilot she had asked for help. Sure enough, she would meet Edgar again on closed events in Makana as he tries to help her get out of the anxiety & fear, even if he had to push it on her to completely face her fear of falling on higher tracks.

Throughout the years in the FX400 Racing League, Yvonne and Edgar continued to race together in team events. However at the time, Edgar was racing with teenage Irish pilot, Jacob Reilly, as Yvonne was mostly on her own battling her anxiety. She was able to keep going in races and catch up with the rest of the pilots in the mid pack. Sure enough she had to challenge her most discomfort tracks, trusting the Maglock strips on the course to get her through the race. Eventually she was willing to race on tracks, Moa Therma, Metropia, and etc, but still refused to race on Sol 2. By 2212, she gets over most of her anxiety and would reach with the top 3 positions in events. Back in 2211 however, Yvonne competed with Edgar on a rapier class team tournament in Europe, winning her first ever gold medal and sponsor, including a trophy. Yvonne would continue to thank Edgar, but also would have an interest in him. Though no allies were made from other teams, she eventually develops a rivalry with FEISAR French pilot, Clara Bellerose. Clara was also an amateur pilot but kind of oblivious to Yvonne, yet she does notice her taking close finishes in races, making some competition for whatever position they were going for. She would take most of the positions in front or back of Yvonne, despite sometimes being in the mid pack. However, their rivalry would never get too heated up outside or in races.

By 2215, now competing for the FX500 AGRL, Yvonne was now racing without the Pilot-Assist in her new Fury prototype race craft. The fear of falling also fades as she soon faces the highest AG-track in Makana, Sol 2. Earning more medals, a new sponsor, and a new speed class, she would soon become one of Icaras's best female pilots. Though she had reached professional, it will take her plenty more seasons to become an Elite pilot in the racing league. Yvonne wouldn't have gotten this far if she haven't asked Edgar for his help and to become his wingman, relieving the anxiety that had scarred her since the beginning of her first track run and conquering her falling fear in technical/high circuits, only to now battle against her team's main rivals throughout the FX500 racing league.

The year of 2218 would mark Yvonne's 12th season in her entire racing career. She holds 14 medals and a team tournament trophy, sharing it with Edgar Lawrence and remaining his secondary pilot till this day. (5G/4S/5B) After the season, she would go back to her father's home in Austria to show him the achievements she has made over the years. Surprisingly she would ask about one thing involving aircraft at the airfield and if they were fully checked before takeoff. As her father questions why, she then answers: "I would like to go back up someday. ..I'm not afraid to fly anymore, thanks to.. a special someone I've raced with over the years."

Author Note: The beginning backstory of this pilot may sound very familiar to some if you use to watch Discovery Channel’s 2007 future reality series, 2057 (The City). So I will admit I kind of ripped off the series here for this pilot. That is all.

Born on March 15th, 2194, outside of Dublin Ireland, Jacob was just an ordinary kid but with a gifted trait. He was a computer whiz during his childhood taken after his grandfather that was involved during the F9000 league. His parents were from different countries however as his father was still involved in a business back in Great Britain, while Jacob still lived with his mother including his grandfather (mother's father) back in Ireland. Jacob's grandfather, dating back to the F9000 era, helped write and maintain source codes in computer programming, maintaining with computer powered robots, weaponry, including team race-craft most notably with FEISAR in the 2160's. Jacob had learned some tech skills from him, even going to school learning about Software developments at the age of 13.

Unfortunately, his grandfather's latest projects won't mix with Jacob's mother as his grandfather became addicted to computer hacking, having him make a decision to leave the Reilly residence worrying of becoming a bad influence to his grandson. However, the grandfather still refused himself to move out, though Jacob was aware of the knowledge he learned from him and how his mother would feel about it. But despite his right from wrong, Jacob was a curious and mischievous boy. He would take some of his grandfather's components, gadgets, and flash drives and starts to hack with small things like videogames, his handhelds, his own computer, and other electronics around his house. (Even in the future, hacking still exist) This began to fill his temptations by the age of 16, as he used his grandfather's codes and tools to hack into things outside of his home. His first major attempt was hacking into his school's computer system, either changing grades from his difficult classes, messing with school robots, vending machines, or bypassing a school computer to play videogames. However, his gadgets would mess up electronics overtime to a point where he almost corrupts the school system entirely. Surprisingly though, never got caught for it, but it wasn't the worst thing he has done.

Despite of this, he became decently popular with other students on campus for his troubling mischief, as he used his skills to impress his friends and peers. Now going for hacks that would get him into serious trouble, his biggest attempt was to hack into the city's network on his own computer by projecting an inappropriate picture all around the city's advertisement boards/holograms. While doing so, he accidently mixes up the codes and instead sends an ancient computer virus along with the file. His prank goes horribly wrong as the virus started to overload the city's network, even worse, it was about to corrupt the economy system all over Dublin. Jacob knew he was in huge trouble, thinking of the possibility of going to juvenile hall for his action or worse.
Suddenly, his grandfather bursts through his bedroom door: "Jacob boy, what have you done!?" his grandfather shouts at him.
Jacob responds: "It's not what it looks like." Only to also have the inappropriate picture on his computer screen.
They quickly attempt to stop the downloading process, but the virus was already sent. Moments later, the Irish police burst into their home tracking the source. They find the two in Jacob's room, accusing his grandfather for sending the virus, only for Jacob to quickly admit to them that he accidently sent it. He doesn't realize what might happen to him next.

Fortunately, the virus wasn't as big as they thought it was, as the city's protection system destroys it hours later, but still left some of the city to be somewhat in shambles. Jacob's mother would soon find out after hearing what was going on while she was out for a business. As she rushes back home, she would see her son being arrested in front of their house. As she questioned the police to figure out what just happened, she immediately began to blame her own father for what her son had done, thinking he was now addicted to hacking and almost corrupting the city. While taken to jail and sent to trial with both his parents and grandfather there, Jacob was read his rights, only for the judge to call up Jacob's grandfather next. When investigators had searched their home, they discovered that the grandfather had a history with hacking before, keeping illegal hardware that caused Jacob's arrest in the first place. While Jacob's grandfather was going to be charged and be taken to prison, Jacob wanted another way to pay for his punishments. Instead of paying for community service in juvenile detention, his other option was to compete in the AGRL, serving his time to race in the JX to FX400 to pay his bail. Jacob would immediately accept the option.

At age 17 in 2211, Jacob was taken by the Irish government to France, as he was sent to the FEISAR academy under their watch. Jacob was never much interested in AG-racing, but has heard about his grandfather's past being part of the F9000 league. His only way of freedom was to win races in the league, having his earnings go into his bail. Despite of this, Jacob was also competing for his grandfather who was charged and pleaded guilty in trial. Jacob was the youngest male recruit in the academy as he would take weeks of training in zone mode for the league and was eventually strapped on to a real AG-craft. The results from his testing throughout the months of training would surprise the academy, including himself. Jacob had no idea that he could control a large fast-moving craft, and was shock to find out that he was chosen by the fastest team in the league, the Icaras. Jacob would get transferred to their team in the UK soon after.

The Icaras academy was more surprised than FEISAR as they saw a teenager lined up with the rest of the Icaras recruits. They wanted to see Jacob's performance on their test track as he began to feel nervous stepping into the cockpit to show the instructors. While getting use to the Icaras craft for the first time around the course, the new ship felt faster and handled more differently to him than the FEISAR X4 model. He would prove otherwise to the Icaras facility, impressed by his piloting skills for being a young age. He would later gain experience with the Icaras craft as it now leads him to officially compete in the FX league all the way in Makana, bypassing the Junior division (JX). Jacob was heading in the right direction, hoping to score bronze or better in the official league. He enters late in the 2211 season.

While landing in Makana, Jacob was still on a mission for his and his grandfather's freedom. He needed a skilled teammate for one tournament as his luck would get him chosen by someone experienced on his team. British pilot and navy veteran, Edgar Lawrence would become his teammate and lead pilot in the later seasons. Both pilots would get along and were able to communicate in team events, earning Jacob attention and placing top placed finishes in races. While continuing on in 2212 at age 18, Jacob would own his own Icaras race craft, as he decides to alternate the team colors with a black & brown livery. He was also recognizable by spectators and fans wearing his own set of goggles that were compatible with his helmet HUD. Going at it alone he was able to receive his first bronze medal in another tournament by himself in early 2213. Overall, he was earning money quickly, but was still short on his grandfather's bail. But despite trying to earn money for his freedom, Jacob was actually enjoying his punishment as a career. Around this time however, he would be eyed on by another person other than his watchers.

Jacob thought someone else was eyeing him, only for it to be an attraction. One day in the league, he was approached by a girl with beautiful sapphire blue-eyes and blond hair, about his age who was surprisingly a pilot but also an AG-Queen. This young British lady would introduce herself as Loraine Johnson, secondary squad pilot for Harimau, but originally from FEISAR. Loraine had eyed Jacob since his entry in the league and after transferring to Harimau not too long ago. To her she thought Jacob was kind of cute, admiring him from a distance only to finally approach him. She was kind of shy, but still flirty at the same time, though Jacob already knew by her behavior that she had a crush on him. But despite her beauty, he felt awkward being near her, mostly because she was a few inches taller than him, more so when she wore heels. Jacob would talk to her, but doesn't tell her why he's in the AGRL. In his mind he didn't want Loraine to know what he got in trouble for, mostly to not have her think he was some criminal or addict with the use of his grandfather's hacking tools. However, the more he talked, the more attracted Loraine got, hearing his Irish. A friendly relationship would only develop between them, but on the track, they were secretly allies, only for Jacob to be impressed & attracted by Loraine's racing skills, including her performances as an AG-Queen. It was only then Jacob would now feel the same way about her.

While continuing on in the league, Jacob doesn't become professional till 2214, a year before the FX500 league. During the two years and his entry in races, he would manage to pay bail for himself and his grandfather, only to destroy the flash drives and tools that allowed them to hack and for their codes to be confiscated. But despite reaching his goal and was a free man, Jacob wanted to continue racing, and sure enough was earning silver in tournaments, only moments behind reaching gold against Icaras' speedy foes, Piranha. At some point he would soon tell Loraine about why he was there in the first place, having her understand his mistake and temptations back home.

It was already sundown at Sinucit, Loraine was about to head back to England after a long final season of the FX400 league, waiting for the Blimp to arrive at port, only to be excited to see Jacob come by for one last goodbye.

Jacob lets Loraine hug him, only for her to notice a concerned face on him, asking him: "Jacob, what's wrong?"
Jacob Responds: "Nothing it's... it's just that... I need to tell you something, that I think you should know."

In Loraine's mind, she thought Jacob was about to tell her 3 special words, considering her affection towards him and leaving after the season.

She responds in kind of an excited tone: "Yes, what is it?"
Jacob nervously answers: "I... I don't know how to explain it."
Loraine, being antsy: "You can tell me anything, just let it out."
Jacob: "Do you know... why I was here, racing? Why I had people watching me? ..Because I did something stupid back home."
Loraine, feeling some confusion: "..Okay?"

Jacob explains: "... I was a hacker, I had gadgets and codes that I took from my granddad, that I can take control of everything that you can think of electronically. I became addicted to this stuff just like my granddad did that I messed with everything that I took control of. Then one day, I went for something bigger, I took control of the city's network system just to put some.. well.. some stupid picture on these billboards, until I realized... I put in the wrong codes to the system that it sent a virus to the network. I almost corrupted my country's economy. Next thing, police ran through my front door. Me, my granddad, we got arrested outside our home."

Loraine stayed quiet as he continued: "We went through trial, my grandad was sentenced, but for me, they sentence me to something else. I had a chance to bail my grandad and I if I can compete, and win money from races in this racing league. I had people keeping an eye on me, and I did what I was told. Few years racing here, earning my bank, I now had enough to pay bail for me and granddad. I'm now free. Loraine,.. before you think of anything, understand this. I've now changed. I'm not gonna hack anything anymore. This racing has made me want a career in this and I want to keep racing. And you, you've also changed me. Ever since I saw you raced, saw you dance, I thought you were amazing. You're the most talented girl I've ever met, and now I just want you to still race with me for the new season. I do like you Loraine, don't think I've been ignoring you. Why else would I come here to find you? I just didn't want you to know about me too soon. Do you understand?"

Loraine was surprised but understood what he said, still staying quiet, but Jacob thought she didn't like him anymore. "You think I'm a criminal or some low-life hacker, do you? I Understand." Though feeling like he'll lose Loraine as a friend, they were all erased from his mind when Loraine suddenly gave him a small kiss on his cheek. "I don't think so." Loraine said, accepting his honesty and mistakes, not caring what he did nor was a big deal to her, knowing someone worse that was more dishonest and unforgiving. Blushing from her kiss, she leaves Jacob behind, feeling awkward but smiling as the Blimp now arrived. Jacob also blushed, considering it was his first kiss overall, now setting a motive for next season. Jacob was now determined to become the best next gen pilot in the league, and continues to race with one of the fastest teams on Earth.

Currently in 2217, Jacob Reilly succeeds further winning more events from the FX500 league, still recognized in the black and brown livery passed down on Icaras' Alaunus craft. He would barely prevail against Piranha's Thai pilot, Chayond Puntashima, having a rivalry dating back to 2213 with Chayond as the prevailing winner in most cases back in the FX400. Jacob always wanted to beat Cheyond for once in the league, only to be defeated multiple times falling short on that of the Thai pilot's skill level. Already heating back up years later, the two would now face each other once more, only for Jacob to win a gold medal in a close race tournament, followed by Chayond taking silver back in 2216. Jacob was able to defeat an elite pilot in his career, but is still a long way for him to become one himself, taking notes from his squad leader, Edgar Lawrence, in order to accomplish it. Only 14 medals were earned during Jacob's 6 years of racing. (5G/6S/3B) As for his relationship with Loraine Johnson, she was back with FEISAR the following year. The two would officially go out with each other in a closed event in Makana, taking a trip to Vineta K's beaches during the afternoon and having a dinner date at a high-end restaurant in Sinucit during the evening. They would leave with their teams once again going their separate ways, only to say goodbye with a first lip to lip kiss, while 5'5"ft Jacob stands on his tip toes in order to reach Loraine's 5'7" height. (5'10" in heels) As for racing overall, they were still close allies.

Born on October 26th, 2176 on the east coast of Canberra, Australia, Xavier Chaffin was a weapons expert of the Incendiary Projectile Supplies Inc. part of Triakis Industries. As a partner of Triakis, he has helped designed and tested out weaponry for the FX300 league, including a test pilot of the industry's new AG-craft. However, during armor testing, Xavier had almost faced death while conducting with new weaponry.

In 2198, a year after the opening season in Makana, the team was still under weapon development while their craft continued on in the racing league. Xavier and his group of experts were testing projectile weapons on their craft's armor for stronger defense. Behind a force field in a weapons lab, they fired explosive projectile rockets on their craft's plating, showing major success of the armor's durability overall. However, one of the rockets didn't explode on impact. They assumed that it was a dud as they carried it back in the laboratory and settled it on a workbench. Xavier was fixing a wire component on a swarm rocket when he heard a strange noise coming from the dud. Wondering what noise it was making, he carefully kept away from it, when suddenly, it explodes like a grenade in front of him. A shard structs Xavier's face as he falls to the ground bleeding. His workers immediately rushed to him as they saw him on the floor with sprayed blood, seeing a shard right in his upper cheek and nose, and was taken to a hospital immediately. Luck was on his shoulder however, as the shard was not deep enough to have killed him as he recovered a month later. Unfortunately, he continued work with now a large scar on his face and with a damaged eye.

As a test pilot, Xavier was trained on a test craft before being able to ride the team's main ship for the FX300 league. He also tested weapons on the craft including having them being fired upon himself, confident of the ship's shielding. On an actual course, the maneuverability was incredible on his hands, only to have a certain component on the craft to make the maneuverability possible. For being a new coming team in the AGRL, they've won many races and tournaments during the first season, including supplying weapons for combat events. However, getting in their nerves by teams Auricom and AG-Systems, they would restrict their weapons for every race, but due to popular demand, weapons became enabled in the sport, despite some responsibly with the fall of the F9000 league.

Xavier became an official pilot by the end of the 22nd century, racing professionally. His partner, Matilda Rotthier, shared the same experience in the late FX300 league as both pilots were the most aggressive duo in team events. While they and their team were considered almost impossible to beat, their rival teams showed optimism towards their best pilots. Professional AG-Systems pilots, Katsu Sasaki and Viona De Jong, hold on their rivalry with Xavier and Matilda by the end of the FX300 league in 2206. The last FX300 season would hosts the All-Star Championships that same year, having the last tournament race in mainland Makana. Triakis were completely dominating their side of the bracket, while AG-Systems dominate theirs. Triakis' best pilot, Vincent Stephenson, would easily stay in front their rival team, winning the race a split second away by AG-Systems pilot, Thierry Caluroso.

Xavier and Matilda would watch their team win and take the podium, but unfortunately, that win would soon take a turn. Just a moment after, the legal authorities wanted to take a closer look at the ships as Xavier was still in the hangers with his team of workers. This then made him nervous when they found a device on the port side of the craft. His team's directors would try to make excuses, as the officials figured out that it was a RIDS device (Reverse-Inertia Deceleration System). The team of Triakis were compromised, as their device was considered illegal from technical regulations, only for them to take their excuses to court along with the directors of AG-Systems. Triakis were disqualified from the 2206 ASC and were fined millions of Australian dollars including their first place on the grid for the FX300 league.

Not only was Triakis disqualified from the final FX300 ASC, Xavier would lose his reputation of wins during the league. It didn't helped much that his main rival, Katsu Sasaki, would be the one to take it away from him, only to boil tensions in later seasons of the FX350/400 league. As for the team craft with Xavier involved of its development, the craft would suffer control during testing back in Australia, as the craft could not take on sharp turns without the RIDS. He would take out his frustrations on his co-workers as nothing good would come out of the team's losses. Xavier and his team needed a solution fast, turning to their team director, Samuel McNaughton for a solution. What soon followed by the company was a deal by Assegai in receiving their team's handling devices. Their Nicknamed Anne II craft showed a major difference in handling controls as it then became the next best thing of replacing the RIDS while being a legal component. As an offer to give thanks, Triakis would lend Assegai much better Armor plating for their craft as both teams were happy of their trades, becoming major allies for the upcoming leagues.

Xavier would make a comeback for his team during the proving grounds of the FX350 league. However, the craft still showed problems when going up against their rival teams once again, most by AG-Systems. Surprisingly, their craft did show unexpected top speed power, when independent pilot Liana Morelli took it beyond its limits in top speed events in the VX League up against teams Piranha, Icaras, as well as Van Uber. But despite their power in a straight line, it was still the most difficult craft to control on the circuit. Xavier was the only pilot to master the craft's controls in every event he entered, followed by the team's elite pilots competing in the ASC. His performance however was very aggressive towards other pilots, most brutal against Katsu Sasaki of AG-Systems, still furious over his team's disqualification.

The years following 2212 have led Xavier and his teammate Matilda becoming the best pilots for Triakis Industries in standard events. Throughout the FX400 league, both pilots would earn plenty of gold and silver medals, most strongly in combat events. By 2215 in the FX500 league, their Fury design craft would become valiant over their competitors. As for their arch rival teams, Auricom and AG-Systems, the Aussie team would still become a big threat towards the anti-aggressive craft as they would literally plow right through them in any racing championship. Triakis were the hardies of the AG-race commission, and their power with weaponry remained evident throughout the years in the AGRL. They would step up to destroy anyone that comes near them, only to take back what was rightfully theirs since the FX300 league.

With that said, Triakis would band with Qirex-RD along with teams opposing the Belmondo Foundation. New Qirex Race Director, Nadia Elenova, would convince Triakis to engage a fight with AG-Systems, still despising them since 2206. Qirex's intention however was an attack on the Foundation for the race commission, calling for war on Auricom and their allies. Xavier would support Nadia's goals, only to gladly once again have a fight with Auricom's closest ally, AG-Systems, specifically attacking Katsu Sasaki. With the return of eliminator events in the FX500, it would also help Triakis supply weapons for the teams including their enemies, earning their wealth by selling their products overall.

In 2217, Xavier Chaffin would continue to lead the charge in combat events on the offence towards AG-Systems. However, his nemesis, Katsu, would discontinue in the FX500 league, passing it down to his squadmates, Sean Cooper and Sofia Rossetti to defend the race commission. Triakis would prove strong in eliminator events, known as the battleground for teams to destroy their competitor's craft. AG-Systems however, would still fight back against Triakis despite the odds, only to give the Aussie team a struggle to hold their ground in these events. Xavier would not back down along with Matilda to see the destruction of AG-Systems. But as the next year progressed, it would appear that an unsuspecting team would reappear to get in the way, not in support for any side of the fight, only to prove who is the strongest/aggressive team in the league. What would also upset them was the similarity of the rogue team's craft design. This rogue team only had one experimental craft all this time, only now they had somehow manufactured a number of them for the mid FX500 league and will attack every team including Triakis. Triakis, along with Xavier, would set aside their differences with AG-Systems, only to now fight a new rival on the block in 2218, Tigron Enterprises. AG-Systems on the other hand, would do the same.

Overall in his 20 years of racing in multiple leagues. Xavier has earned over 30 medals and counting. (18G/10S/5B) And there won't be a sign of this Veteran leaving the sport or team anytime soon.

Matilda Rotthier was born on October 25th, 2172 in Namur Belgium, 2 years after the collapse of the F9000 league. While Matilda keeps her personal life to herself, Pilots would know her as a reckless and troublesome contender in the AGRL. She went into AG-Racing first time in France training with FEISAR in preparation of the Amateur FX150 league in 2191 at age 19. However, due to her trouble and aggressive behavior and racing style, she was terrifying to most of the trainee pilots, until pushing one female trainee to face her on a non-assigned practice race. The two weren't allowed to race on the test track; as they were about to leave the line, they were stopped by officials soon after. Noticing the Belgian trainee being the one to cause trouble from the rest, Matilda was suspended, while the other trainee under the name, Viona De-Jong, was given a warning, and was sent back in line with the rest of the training pilots. Soon after, Matilda was kicked from the FEISAR academy, wanting none of her unnecessary aggression. Thinking she had no other place to go, she was suddenly met by a businessman from Triakis Industries outside of the academy. Watching and knowing how aggressive she was, the person would give Matilda another chance with what he described as "a much tougher racing team".

Matilda would now pilot something that suited her, heading out southeast to mainland Australia to a training facility in control of Triakis. Their training craft was something she needed, becoming amused when she took control of it for the first time and feeling its tough weight. Some of the pilot trainees there would actually have the guts to try and take her on during practice races, as this would now satisfy her throughout the years in training. In 2193, she would receive her pilot license from the HQ, and was able to compete in remaining races of the FX150 up until 2197. Matilda would make her presence felt towards the weakest pilots in the league, and by the inaugural season of the Official FX300 league in Makana, she was more than ready to race.

Matilda becomes a worthy pilot to Triakis as both aggression and use of weaponry made her a potential beast on the track. Paring up with lead pilot, Xavier Chaffin, they would completely dominate any team race they entered. It was easy going for them until meeting their pure racing opposites from AG-Systems. Katsu Sasaki and surprisingly to Matilda, her first long ago opponent, Viona De-Jong, were a force to be reckon with by their pure racing style. Despite their rival's optimism, Matilda and Xavier would mostly outmatch then, earning sponsors and ranking up each division in the FX300 league. Unfortunately for Triakis, the final championships of the FX300 in 2206 would become their stalling point.

Triakis would win the an All-Star tournament of the FX300 league, only to be disqualified by their use of the RIDS. Triakis, including Matilda and Xavier who had won a good number of standard events were stripped of their reputation, only to be rewarded to their rival pilots and team, Katsu and Viona of AG-S. Triakis were upset, Xavier was furious, and Matilda seeked destruction. Like Xavier, Matilda wanted vengeance against her own arch rival, Viona. She continued to battle her throughout the FX350 and 400 league events, racing an updated version of their race-craft.

Matilda would reach Veteran by 2212, winning many gold medals while also losing some to her arch nemesis. Her aggression would worry teams, Auricom and AG-Systems, only for it to be one of her intentions by making herself a threat to other teams. By the time the FX500 arrived in 2215, Matilda would show her fury full force with the new Anne IV 'Victoria' model craft. Around this same time, war would break out in the new league between Auricom and Qirex, along with supporting teams including Triakis. Eliminator would make a comeback in the new league, only for Matilda to savor the sheer violence inflicted in these events. Like Xavier, she was in full support of Qirex's new director and pilot, Nadia Elenova, fighting for control of the race commission. Their target overall in this AGRL war was still with AG-Systems, and will do whatever it takes to completely eliminate them from racing overall. Despite Matilda's arch rival Viona retiring back in 2214, she herself was not going to retire anytime soon, only to continue her reign of aggression by current 2218.

While being the most aggressive female pilot in her years of racing, Matlida Rotthier would soon meet her perfect match in a form of a team in 2218. Coming out of the shadows of which the world thought they have been gone since 2170, the once Neo-Soviet powerhouse, Tigron Enterprises, makes an official return into the FX500 racing league. With their pilots showing aggression between the racing conflict of the two fighting sides, Matilda would get knocked around a number of times by this rogue team in eliminator events. She would have enough of being out-matched and out-gunned while Trakis would feel the same. However, they weren't the only team out of all to be pushed around by this new menace. Overall, from more than 20 seasons, Matilda has earned about 25 medals. (12G/6S/7B) If she were to retire from racing, it was not gonna be by numerous defeats from Tigron. She'll fight ferociously, even if she has to put AG-Systems aside as prey, going after the other wolf from Tigron, Boyka Olganova.
