Sherring is a Lynx working for the heavy weapon specialists, Aldra. Formerly a Raven during the National Dismantlement War, he is now the Rank 14 Original.
Biography[]
Near the end of Pax Economica, Sherring seizes the Dornier Mining Station from Global Armaments, prompting them to send the up-and-coming Lynx of the colony Anatolia to retake the facility.
Normal Mode[]
Multiple 046FA910 weapon emplacements and two 047AC-F-type Normals assist Sherring. Anatolia's Mercenary proves to be as strong as Sherring imagined from rumors, dispelling the notion that the mercenary was a relic of the previous war when he lands a hit on Critique. Ultimately, the Anatolian Lynx defeats Sherring, who spends his final moments acknowledging his opponent's skill and gracefully accepting defeat.[1]
Hard Mode[]
Multiple 046FA910 weapon emplacements and three 047AC-Fs assist Sherring, with one of the Normal pilots attacking first and remarking to Sherring that they might defeat the enemy before he does, to which Sherring replies that he can only hope that they can. Anatolia's Mercenary proves to be as strong as Sherring imagined from rumors, dispelling the notion that mercenary was a relic of the previous war when he lands a hit on Critique. The colony Aspina sends their Lynx Joshua O'Brien to support Sherring but ultimately, the Anatolian Lynx defeats them both. Sherring spends his final moments acknowledging his opponent's skill and gracefully accepting defeat.[1]

NEXT Critique[]
Sherring pilots the NEXT Critique, an Aldra-designed HILBERT model boasting high defenses as well as high mobility in spite of the frame's bulky appearance. The NEXT is armed with two hard-hitting laser rifles and an AS missile launcher, with two pulse guns kept in storage. A basic, low-requirement back radar is also equipped. Sherring's fighting style is "hit, hide, dodge, hit."
Critique's paint scheme allows it to be camouflaged in the sea surrounding the Dornier Mining Station at the time of the battle with Anatolia's Mercenary.
