1		Otsdarva	Stasis	Formerly from Rayleonard, this is Omer's trump card. His home is the battlefield, where he developed ingenious battle strategies. His mid-range attack style ignores all limitations of his LAHIRE frame, evidence of his estrangement from Omer.
2		Lilium Wolcott	Ambient	A female Lynx who inherited the prestigious Wolcott name. She is the new princess of Wong Shao-Lung's treasured BFF, but her graceful disposition sets her apart from the late Mary Shelley. She pilots a frontline, offensive craft.
3		Wynne D Fanchon	Reiterpallasch	Interior's female Lynx, often referred to as "GA's disaster". Also known as the "Brass Maiden" by many frontline soldiers. Her craft, the Reiterpallasche, is lightweight but strikes hard. An aggressive Lynx who is famous for never failing a mission.
4		Roadie	Feedback	An experienced pilot who continues to pilot an outdated craft armed with bazookas. He makes up for a low AMS aptitude with battle experience. He is one of the few survivors from the Lynx War and one of GA's top Lynx.
5		Gerald Gendlin	Noblesse Oblige	He is the successor to Noblesse Oblige, regarded as the symbol of Rosenthal. Its shoulder equipped multi-lasers unleash astounding firepower. High AMS aptitude and mental stability make Gerald an ideal Lynx for the League's ranks.

7		Roy Saaland	My Bliss	This Lynx is the highest ranked independent mercenary affiliated with Collared. He's a plain and emotionless man, but his craft is a rare HILBERT model, formerly piloted by Aldra. He utilizes his craft's heavy weaponry with deadly efficiency.
8		Wong Shao-Lung	Strix Quadruped	This Lynx is shrouded in mystery, save for his connection with the BFF and his old age. He pilots a four-legged long range sniping craft, and refuses to stray from his support combat style, unchanged from the Dismantlement War.
9		Unknown (Anatolia's Mercenary)	White Glint	A Lynx affiliated with the anti-League power Line Ark. Hers is an original craft by the master Architect Abu Marshe. Although still Rank 9, she is well known as a top class NEXT. She took down an entire company solo during the Lynx War.
10		Hari	Krasnaya	One of the higher ranked independent mercenaries. Although he's a combat genius, he can only fight for short periods of time due to his unique AMS aptitude. He may have once have been affiliated with Aspina.
11		Dario Empio	Transcend	This Rosenthal Lynx has made his name known in recent years. He's ambitious and power hungry, and not afraid to show it. Transcend is based on new standard model LANCEL parts and features a wide array of weaponry, making it quite versatile.

13		Jan	Blind Bold	An Aldra Lynx who has been involved since the Lynx War. His craft, Blind Bold, has been modified to fit Aldra's first full frame. A former soldier for the national military, he knows his stuff, and he has the firepower to prove it.
14		Irbis Ornstein	Moroz	The former commander of the Bharat special forces unit, this Algebra Lynx is said to be on par with other high rankers. He has been the decider in many a Global Armaments battle, but his Order Match win ratio leaves much to be desired.
15		Shamir RaviRavi	Red Rum	This Lynx is often called "Algebra's Femme-Arachnid". She pilots an insect-like four-legged craft with a slug gun and other slug based weaponry. Best in her element, she loves to get the drop on enemies in adverse battlefield situations.

17		CUBE	Fragile	A cyborg and test pilot affiliated with Aspina. Primarily used for data collection, it has seen many a battle. Its craft, Fragile, is a high speed machine that emphasizes air combat. Many a Lynx has fallen to its inhuman piloting ability.
18		May Greenfield	Merrygate	A female Lynx affiliated with GA, she pilots a standard biped called Merrygate. She packs quite a bit of firepower with her missiles, which is why her support is valued and respected. Her nickname, "Smiley," comes from her distinctive emblem.
19		Do Su	Starka	Technocrat's one and only Lynx. He pilots a lightweight craft, but uses a large Algebra-manufactured physical blade as a weapon. As such, he possesses enough attack power to destroy almost any enemy craft in an instant.
20		Ay-Pool	Vero Nork	An Interior female Lynx. Vero Nork features arm-mounted weaponry. It's design hasn't changed much since the Lynx War. A support unit, her craft isn't particularly powerful, but if you can't dodge her AS missiles, you're in for a world of hurt.

22		Canis	Savage Beast	A young Lynx who pilots a well balanced middleweight biped. Technically independent, but has close ties to Rosenthal. Unlike his big-mouthed tendency, he's known for choosing missions carefully. This makes his illustrious combat record difficult to assess.
23		Francois-Neris	Buccaneer	Leader of the independent mercenary squadron, Corsair. In Northern Africa there are many other similar rogue groups; but Corsair is highly renowned due to Francois' affiliation. His craft is a lightweight tank equipped with laser weaponry.
24		Don Colonel	Wonderful Body	A former Normal unit, he climbed his way up the ladder from GA's army. His AMS compatibility isn't much to brag about. But he was the catalyst for the NEW-SUNSHINE project, allowing pilots of his level to develop top NEXT combat ability.

28		Dan Moro	Celebrity Ash	An independent mercenary who often works with GA. His craft, named after an old comic book hero, is suitable for all around combat. However, he's been reprimanded for a general lack of motivation that causes trouble on the battlefield. His skills as a mercenary are often in doubt and he has been known to overreact time and time again.
29		Mrs. Theresia	Karyon	This Original has been in action since the Dismantlement War. This female Lynx is rumored to have taken on a few "dirty" jobs during TORUS' formation, setting her apart from other LYNX. She pilots a rare, former GAE four-legged craft.
30		Champion Champs	Killdozer	This mercenary is not affiliated with any company. He pilots a dismantling machine with steel bulldozer like arms. His craft is primarily tuned for demolition jobs. As a result, he does not fare well in Order Matches.

Rank	Image	Lynx	NEXT	In-game description
1		Maximilian Thermidor	Unsung	This Leader of ORCA pilots a crimson reverse-legged craft. He fights to carry out the Closed Plan in Rayleonard's stead. Equal part romanticist, visionary, and passionate demagogue. A complex, if not divided man, he is one of the original five.
2		Neo Nidus	Gachirin	This elder LYNX has deep connections to former Akvavit, and is one of the original five. Renowned for his extremely high AMS compatibility and clever tactics, his experimental, TORUS developed craft is equipped with a fearsome assault cannon.
3		Julius Emery	Asterism	An elite Lynx within Aspina, she is also referred to as the second coming of Joshua O'Brien. She joined and remained affiliated with Rayleonard during the ensuing chaos following the Lynx War. One of the first five, and the only female Lynx in ORCA.
4		Old King	Lisa	Led the former armed rebel group Liliana. Isolating himself from other ORCA to maintain his 'outsider' status, his Algebra based reverse-legged is armed with a heavy shotgun. Rumored to be connected with #2 Sadhana.
5		Shinkai	Split Moon	An authentic Rayleonard Lynx, the only survivor. He uses special parts passed down to him from his comrade, Anje. His heavy assault craft utilizes a high powered laser blade. A quiet man, he doesn't stand out. One of the original five.
6		Vaoh	Gleditsia	An unbelievably powerful fighter, his thick shelled tank type craft, Gleditsia, can quickly deliver overwhelming firepower with twin gatling guns. After being discovered by Malzel, Vaoh accompanies him everywhere.
7		Malzel	Opening	Second in command of ORCA, and trusted friend of Thermidor, this young strategist formed ORCA with support from Omer Science Technology, while secretly plotting for the execution of the Closed Plan. His AMS aptitude is reportedly quite poor.
8		Totient	Gray Gloom	A Lynx who was once in Collared's top 10 ranking. Realizing that he wouldn't live much longer, he joined ORCA. His fighting style, which relies on heavily reinforced Assault Armor, exposes enemies to risky, almost suicidal maneuvers.
9		PQ	Yoroi Mogura	This Lynx pilots a heavy reverse-legged craft. Renowned for clearing the Andes of guerrilla fighters, he has an edge in chaotic battles, quietly waiting to deliver the fatal blow. "Yoroi Mogura" is the name of his beloved pet.
10		Hari	Krasnaya	One and the same as the Collared Rank 10, Hari, seduced and summarily betrayed by Malzel. A short history on the battlefield and a habit of wiping out every thing in sight have allowed this Lynx to slip under Collared's radar.
11		Buppa Zu Gan	Big Barrel	Piloting a unique four-legged craft and calling himself the "Hunter," he prefers sniping from long distances. The big barreled Kojima cannon slung over his right shoulder can easily take out a lightweight NEXT in a single blast.
12		Luster 18	Ferrum Solidus	An experienced middle-aged Lynx. Although a Lynx of the lowest rank, his abilities are equivalent to that of even the highest ranked pilots. His heavyweight bipedal craft, Ferrum Solidus, utilizes additional PA rectifiers and is quite tough.
