Tank Crew Rene

Determined. Rebellious. Close and loyal.

A tank crew that is headed by two anthro French soldiers that has joined the resistance as legionaries. Marcelle and Abelia Brought together in times of crisis with both being a pair unique and firey soldiers. Though they may butt heads sometimes both have bonded together during times of war.

Marcelle's Traits are as followed:

Cocky. Confident and daring. Smug and flirty.

Marcelle is a confident trickster on the battlefield. Fielding a variety of tactics that many of her enemies seem to underestimate. She has gained quite a reputation from humbling her targets who think that she is a dog with no bark.

Growing up to a military family in Paris. Marcelle was exposed to the life of the soldier by her father who fought in the great war. She strived to have the same career that he had, to continue family legacy. Though she would not know what was to come. With the start of World War 2 and the takeover of Paris in a matter of weeks. Something that shocked and horrified her at how fast her government was willing to surrender so fast, but no matter what she would not let the invaders rule over her homeland and bully the population for their war machine for future conquests. She finds herself a part of the French resistance keeping the fight going though things might look bleak she knows she can stick it through.

She inherited much of her father's confidence much to a comical degree, having many daring plans that she executes on the battlefield with much bravado. Of course some of her ideas aren't full proof as many of her fellow soldiers will say she is a nut job for thinking of that but she has a tendency to get things right that her command at this point lets her go with the flow.

Even her biggest critics were taken back at her success rate. And when the results are good people tend to look the other way when it came to eccentric near lunatic attitudes as long as they can get a job done and Marcelle knows how to face danger head on. Battlefield stress barely affects her to the point that many of fellow soldiers ponder if she is actually taking the war seriously. Of course she is though she seems to have a big ego about herself that she is somehow already a war hero, something that seems to becoming true more and more with each successful mission and her self made image of a dashing French commander is shaping to be correct especially in Africa. She is also very open about her attraction to anyone fully viewing herself as a skilled seductive fem fatal to impress and woo potential partners

Still she has her flaws, one being that she often is a bit impatient when it comes to waiting when she engages the enemy. Preferring to strike fast and strike hard. Sometimes even when her allies aren't ready for a gunfight. She also has a tendency to push herself for hours or even days on end. facing down the hot humid weather to the point many completely snap on her and get transferred out away from her due to her ego. Marcelle will often claim that this is because they didn't have the spirit to fight, in reality the soldiers that she has chased away literally could not keep up with her and her antics. It does not help that she often got snarky with them when they made their complaints. Even stating that she could go it alone if they left. Her command has had trouble keeping her in different units because of this, So now often they will try to keep her to small teams so they can switch her out when she has annoyed one crew to much. Thankfully the new crew she has seems to be weathering her antics. Though even they pipe up once and awhile.

Marcelle now has been assigned as a commander for a armored vehicle unit. Given a Jackson M36 tank destroyer a gift from France's allies from the west to use and deploy on the battlefield. She has affectionately named it Rene drawing its name on the side of the hull for fun.

Marcelle's personality shows a confident soldier. Albeit to a degree that might seem crazy to most people. She relies on her gut mostly to tell her what to do. And sometimes she forgets that no one else is in her head and often makes rash decisions that tend to catch her allies by surprise. She however does take full responsibility if her actions cause a rare mishap. Never blaming her soldiers when it was truly her fault, she is very daring and heroic not afraid to put herself in harms way if she can rescue a ally. She is a bit of a smoker. Always having a cigarette in her mouth when on the field. She is definitely french having a accent to her words. Since she is often in the tank its not uncommon for her to go shirtless because of the heat she often feels. She of course speaks with a French accent, it being her main dialect. She very neat about things always looking over her tank and equipment during her off time.

Marcelle is a short Anthro fluffy poodle of light color fur. With wavy hair that covers her left eye mostly. She often has a smug grin to her. Face. Often lazily leaning against her tank or even her other soldiers when bragging about her accomplishments. She wears a standard free French uniform for a legionnaire. Wearing the signature kepi and having a pair of army shorts since they are in a hot climate.

Abelia's traits are as followed.

Feisty, Stubborn, Snarky, Arbitrarily Lazy, Grumpy, and Dutiful

Abelia was not supposed to be a soldier. She knows this. She often had problems with authority before she joined the army. A rural country girl surrounded by posh snobs that aggravated her to no end. Still when duty called. She answered.

Born to a rural blue collar family in the French colonies. Abelia was always quite tomboyish. Getting into scraps and fights. Often getting into trouble by her elders because of it. She always seemed to have a problem with authority and often lost jobs due to clashing with her employers on her steady but bitter work ethic. It was surprising that when she was called to join the army she took it with grace despite the risks.

Her troubles did not end in the army. She often got disciplined for her attitude towards her commanding officers. Spending much time in the brig because of it. And facing hard punishments. Still she is still a skilled soldier when it comes to these things. Acting accordingly when she is given her orders. Still she does not like taking necessary risk or following unfair orders.

She has often been called lazy. This is a bit more complicated then just that. She gets her jobs done always on time. Its just that when its her down time its best not to expect her to come running to follow orders. This of course does not happen during emergencies or active combat. But she is determined to get her free time when it comes to her job. Often taking her time to rest.

She is however outright dangerous on the field able to impressively nail shots with rifle or a vehicle machine gun. She is quite a perfectionist when it comes to her jobs. So while her break time might be slow it usually builds up to great results and many of her past commanders just wish she would put some more effort when they ask her to do something while she is off duty. She does have great loyalty to her nation and is willing to sacrifice herself for it. Its just that to her, unless its a emergency it can wait until she gets back on the job.

Its obvious she is still quite professional in her training. But that hasn't stopped many of her more posh and regal comrades in arms from joking about her behind her back. Seeing her as nothing more then a dumb rural girl. And just like she was younger. It didn't take much taunting to cause her to put one in a headlock and try to get apology out of them. This has cost her many meals since they often leave you hungry in the brig. But one apology out of some blue bloodied spoiled punk is worth a 10 feasts to her. Just to get the satisfaction.

Abelia has now been assigned as the gunner for M36 Rene. Making her the second in command of the crew. Something that she wasn't thrilled but if that's what her nation needs her to do. She will do it as if its a job that needs to be done she will do it.

Abelia's Personality is of a grumpy worker, something that continues into her soldier career. She knows that her attitude can cause people to think she is in a bad mood all the time. And apart of her rather likes that since it keeps her superiors from bothering her. But does have a softer side if someone can get to it. She might not be smiling all the time but it does come out once and while. She is semi shut off from others except for other country folk like her. Much likely a result of the snobbery in the past that left a bad taste in her mouth. She of course speaks with a French accent. it being her main dialect. She quite enjoys sunbathing and cloud watching.

Abelia is a tall anthro camel with golden tan fur. A near amazonian strong curvy body with her natural height advantage. With raven black braided hair that goes down her back. She wears a standard free French uniform for a legionnaire. Wearing the signature kepi and having a pair of army shorts since they are in a hot climate. She has a long camel tail with a tuft of black hair at the end of it.

When these two women were put together. Command realized it made a mistake. But with wartime shuffling being chaotic. They really had no time to try to fix it, so they suspected the worst for complaints from both women. But surprisingly the success rate for Tank Rene doubled up leaving many aghast. It turns out while they have much opposite personalities, Both Abelia and Marcelle complimented each other near perfectly. With Marcelle being able to push Abelia into action, and Abelia being able to reel in the crazier plans before Marcelle can perform them. Despite being a officer by family Marcelle has not shamed Abelia for her origins which caused some respect from the camel. And Marcelle rather likes Abelia because of her spirit. Both have gotten a bit close while serving together during the long treks of the army. Rather intimately in fact Marcelle's charms have worked quite well on Abelia who often tried to act stone face. Both have often hooked up. And so both care deeply for each other even when they act professional.
