Though tessa's story post fmp is Explorered further in a different short story. All you need to know is that tessa walks around with mini AS guarding her like they did with her brother, she went to the homeland of bunny to visit his grave and met a local kid(only about 3 years younger than her) named Rony who reminded her greatly of bunny and Sousuke( Al apparently agrees with her on this) . She then took Rony back with her to America. 10 years later, Tessa is apparently working for America in some capacity and still lives with Rony, who is now a junior team leader in a US Navy Seal team. Rony has been a major character since vol 6 of another since his team has been ordered to help the MC's faction of the reborn DOMS from the shadow( there was a hostile business take over and DOMS have been divided into 2 between the smaller faction loyal to Mao and the other faction who is bigger and have majority of the shareholders of DOMS no longer loyal to Mao.) |

he is a freelance mercenary guns for hire type. He trained and took care of Kikuno her brother Akira for the last couple years. I will get into more details later. I plan to do a detailed character description and mech description sometime in the future.

Adelina and her Blast Raven was the first AS to be picked up by a Transport chopper which immediately got shot down with her still inside and crashed into the side of a mountain exploding into a huge fireball. The remaining 3 DOMS AS got so overwhelmed by the spetnaz that their only course of action that offered a chance of survival was to jump off a cliff and roll down the mountain side thousands of feet below ( If you watched the movie Lone Survivor you will have a good idea of what just happened). And then of course geotron and Evil DOMS shows up after and kills everyone including the Spetnaz Team and most of the Coup faction. Fortunately Rony's Navy SEAL team was observing the whole engagement but for obvious reasons they can not attack a Russian Spetnaz Team in the open, so instead they went and found Tatsuya's team and their AS in the bottom of the mountain and dragged them to safety. The actual reason Clara was crying is because Adelina 's fate is unknown, Her AS's Signal and transponder was lost when she crashed and Rony's team saw Geotron Forces securing Adelina's crash site , so even if she is alive the enemy have her now. Also This is a scan you missed which is right after kikuno pulled Tatsuya 's AS out of the ground after they jumped. Spoiler for image:

The new DOMS have many friends and just as many enemies within the higher echelons of the US government , which is why they have had cases of "mistaken" friendly fire from US forces in the past but at the same time they have guardian angels in the form of a Navy SEAL team watching their back thanks to some power play within the pentagon and the white House carried out by mithrill sympathizer and Tessa was the one that made sure it was Rony's Team that got the job of watching over Clara and the new DOMS. |

Gatoh and Ooguro said that they were heavily influenced by western modern military fiction and non fiction books/ media prior to writing FMP Another. They also researched into PMC corporations and modern military history/technology. Tatsuya's infantry training was more or less a very condensed and short version of modern Special Forces selection training and his Firearm course were more or less taught like as if Ooguro took the training scene right out of a magpul/vtac/Haley strategic training video.

I was a little worried about this special flavor the original books had when I found out that Gatoh wasn't going to write the new ones himself. But so far it seems that Another managed to capture that magic. It's good to know that, despite the questionable visual design choices (I may be mistaken but did I see a picture of Kikuno in an AS pressure suit with cleavage and nekomimi? Not that I don't find her fanservicable... Also, Arabic AS loin cloth is too Gundam) they keep to the spirit of reality in what they describe. |

some general knowledge for Another.
D.O.M.S.(Dana O'shee Military Service) One of the top 10 premier PMC company based out of North America. Their main Head quarter and training facility is based out of California . Located 200km North east of LA and near the US army National training center Ft.Irwin. The company was founded by Melissa Mao and her then Husband Kurtz Weber using leftover Mithril and Almagam slush founds. The company recruits internationally for Candidates using mithril's old profiling data. After a decade of service the DOMS have earned a reputation for outstanding service and through great care in the field, have avoided any sort of political and media fallout that so commonly plagues large name PMC companies. As a result, DOMS services are highly sought after. Internationally, DOMS primary clients are the US government and other NATO allies , providing them with security contracts or Training contracts. Domestically, DOMS offers Corporate/personal VIP security and specialized tactical courses for Civilians, Law enforcement and Military. AS-X Raven Series Arm Slave. Prototype 3rd gen Arm slaves developed domestically by EHI manufacturing of Japan. the Raven is Japan's first attempt at putting their name on the international Arms market. Previously EHI only produced weapon systems and AS for the JSDF, for obvious reasons these weapons have no international buyers because these weapons are considered untested in combat in the hands of the domestically bound JSDF. EHI believes that the Raven can make Japan into an internationally recognized country in terms of a quality current generation Arm slave. After several years of pleas with the UN and abusing loop holes found in The Arms Trade Treaty of japan and other international trade agreements, EHI was able to secure the right to export limited numbers of the Raven series. The Ravens are Japan's first Palladium arc reactor powered AS, due to the trade treaty the Raven does not carry or store any internal weaponry and must be armed locally on delivery. Melee weapons are shipped along with the Ravens because they are legal but they cannot be concealed or stored inside of the Raven, thus the raven have no anti-amour knives. The ravens are also modular configurable to make up for the fact that it carries no internal weapon systems. Within Japan the Raven is referred to as the Type-11 "Samurai". The designer distinctively wanted to make sure that no one can mistake this Arm slaves as anything but a product of japan by emphasizing its "Samurai" styled Armour design. On paper the Raven series appears to be average and below average in performance. Even the under-powered international export version of the Soviet Zy-99m appear to outperform the Raven. the only notable feature of the Raven is its borderline ridiculous power output of its Palladium arc reactor. The reason for this was that the extra power is used to activate EHI's proprietary "God-Speed" thrust vectoring maneuvering boosters located on its shoulder guards and other key locations. The raven is capable of changing directions in midair and can achieve limited flight/ super jump or to sprint on land at speeds in excess of 400Km/h. this is all achieved through prototype thrusters that propel itself by firing off electro magnetic ion pulses. in theory these thrusters are only effective in Space but due to the raven's high power arc reactor, its practical to a point in atmosphere. the god speed system is heavily taxing to the AS's reactor and batteries, pending a better software update that improves control and power regulation, the system is only to be activated to decisively end a battle or in emergencies. Also this system is controlled rather awkwardly by the pilots's fingers via HAT switches and eye movement, the controls are far from perfect and would require the average pilot weeks before they can become proficient in its use. After a Lengthy debate period. Japan have decided to hire the DOMS to field test the Raven series in all areas of combat operations. all technical support staff required will be provided by EHI in order to facilitated maintenance and adjustments. DOMS team 3 was selected for the Job, and over time EHI have provided 4 different Raven configurations. Blaze raven- melee and multirole Spoiler for img:

hey guys, Is FMP: Another a separate series from the rest, with different main characters?

The faster-seeming reaction time on the Raven... I, I had actually planned on using something pretty much exactly like that for a long time, and started a fanfic project using it some time ago. Well then. Good to know my idea was completely plausible in the FMP-verse XD
@nooneagain: Yes, FMP!Another is a separate cast, minus a few that show up, but they aren't the focus. The new group is. Sousuke's exact date of birth is never confirmed, but it's probably sometime early-mid 1981 (1984 is anime timeline, the original timeline would be '81) July 7 is what he put on his paperwork, presumably to make it easier to remember - Uruz 7, born 7-7? Coincidence? Yeah, right, definitely sounds like they were making it easy to remember, lol. At the start of FMP, he's about 16/17, by the end he's 18, maybe 19. At the start of FMP!A, which starts up 11 years after the end of the original, Sousuke would be about 29/30. Except we don't see him at all, lol. I believe at least 8 months has passed in FMP!A, so by now he's about 30/31, where the series currently stands.

Actually, they give impression that he may be a little older. In the side story "Voice From the North," Kalinin is thinking about something that happened "13 years ago" at a time when Sousuke is assumed to be 17. When he mentions young Sousuke, he thinks of him as being "4 or 5 years old" -- If he was 4, then it matches up, but if he was 5, then he's close to a year older than what we expect. It's because of that that I tend to believe he was probably born earlier in the year rather than in the middle/later.
But, well, we have no solid answers, so if you like thinking of him as being younger, there's nothing that says you're wrong! Ahh, as for the main characters, I think you'll find some better information than I can give within the last 2 pages. Their names are Tatsuya and Adelina "Lina", so look for those names.
