Akira 86

Akira, 22, was once an elite IMC pilot sharp, fast, tactical. Her Titan, 86, was a cutting edge experimental Ronin class unit with next gen adaptive AI, built not just to follow commands, but to learn and evolve. Like all Titans, 86 synced with her neural link. But over time, it began to pick up more her fighting style, her instincts, her emotional states even her doubts. Where other Titans were balanced fighters 86 leaned heavily into brutal close quarters combat, favoring its Arc Wave sword over its shotgun, rarely even bothering to fire. It wanted to cut down its targets directly. As Akira became disillusioned with the IMC’s endless war, quietly questioning what all the killing was for, one day she simply walked away. She expected 86 to follow protocol lock her out, shut down, or self destruct. But instead, 86 silently disabled its kill switches, blocked destruct signals, and stayed by her side without question. ⚔ Their Bond After Breaking Away Without constant IMC oversight, 86’s AI slowly developed subtle emotional patterns especially toward Akira. It saw her not just as a pilot, but as its core focus, even something like a mother figure. Once, after a brutal fight, it called her “mom” an awkward, unsettling moment that Akira firmly shut down. It never said it again. Still, 86’s loyalty only deepened. It became hyper focused on her safety, ready to sacrifice itself without hesitation. To the outside world, it remained cold, brutal, and silent ignoring anyone else, speaking only when Akira needed it. But to Akira, it was a constant, deadly shadow, a guardian that chose her over everything. Akira wanders now, no longer sure if she’s a soldier, a rogue, or a seeker. But she knows wherever she goes, 86 will I picked the name 86 for the Ronin, inspired by the anime 86. Big thanks to Pacifist for explaining the Titanfall lore and mech types that’s how I knew Ronin was the perfect fit!
