When mechanians from "Carside" started to move into the post-catastrophic human world, in search of work, adventure or whatever, the diaspora included many aircraft of lines and genes considered "obsolete" in their home dimension, but the rebuilding nations of the human world were looking for anybody who could carry a load... or a missile. Since shipping was at a premium across the dimensional veil, paint specially formulated for mechanian bodies and skin was in very short supply, so many either had minimal livery or went "natural". For an aircraft of "outmode" bloodlines, it was a small price to pay to find a place for oneself in another world. However, it also enabled them to re-discover the pleasures of mutual grooming, which they couldn't do with a full coat of paint.

Amara, the F-16 on the left, is a divorcee who brought her children across to go on visitation with their father who has signed on with the humanside RAAF. Daryush, on the right, is an Su-25 of MidEast lines (the mealy sandy-red coat and "raccoon eyes" are signature characteristics of Eastern/Aisian variants of old Russian lines). Amara is sort of stuck here while the kids are with their father, but has discovered things to do in the meantime... like, have a little fling that could develop into something larger. Daryush, flexing his probes down for access, has opened with a few scritches on the shoulder and wing root. Amara will reciprocate shortly. It'll probably lead to... oh, something.

Amara is my OC, Daryush belongs to my friend/RP buddy Elizar.
