Hey everyone! Here is a new short showcase clip of Storm Ghost, a custom IS unit piloted by Jake Jackson.
Design & Key Characteristics:
Color Palette & Vibe: A sinister dark purple and metallic black armor frame paired with glowing violet optic sensors and energy thrusters.
Thruster & Wing Assembly: Heavy, angular wing units engineered for high-thrust mobility, hovering stabilization, and sudden tactical bursts in arena combat.
Primary Armament: A massive arm/shoulder-mounted heavy plasma cannon that channels high-voltage purple energy charges for devastating ranged bombardments.
Combat Profile: Built for high-impact aggressive assault, combining intimidation with heavy firepower and rapid tactical positioning.
Community Discussion:
What do you think of the overall visual aesthetic, silhouette, and purple energy setup?
How do you think Storm Ghost would fare in a duel against canonical 3rd-generation IS units like Ichika's Byakushiki, Laura's Schwarzer Regen, Cecilia's Blue Tears, or Lingyin's Shenlong?
I finally managed to create a short clip of my Fanfiction OC's personal Unit. Meet Storm Ghost, canon in my story as the IS world's first full body style cockpit Unit.
What do you think of her Design and how this Unit looks like it would fair against the main casts Units in mock duels.
Mimi is officially the newest member of my original ISXCS squadron to get rendered and get her own showcase video! She serves as our squad's medic and elite hacking specialist—a cheery, light-footed, and completely chaotic pilot.
When designing her, I couldn't help but think about how Ichika Orimura would react if she showed up at the Academy. The poor guy was already pushed to his absolute limit when Tatenashi pulled the catgirl trope on him just to watch him squirm. Now a real catgirl-themed IS pilot with a bell tail, cat ears, and zero boundaries has entered the fray. Her teasing nature and habit of breaking personal space would probably send his stress levels through the roof!
What do you all think of her design, gear, and showcase vibe? More members of the ISXCS squad are currently in the works and will be dropping soon!
Hey r/InfiniteStratos! I wanted to share the updated, fully polished 3D render showcase for my original character, Freya Sworkofski, who serves as the dedicated long-range specialist for the ISXCS squad in my fanfiction project.
Character & Combat Profile
Role & Archetype: Squad Marksman. In tactical engagements, she sits in the exact same strategic category as Cecilia Alcott, locking down the battlefield with long-range precision and rapid repositioning.
Aesthetic & Design: An elegant Swiss pilot featuring a blindfolded sight-visor setup, pairing high-class composure with lightning-fast combat speed.
Lore & Community Discussion
Given that both Freya and Cecilia represent high-society aristocracy operating in the long-range sniper niche, I’d love to get the community's take on a few canonical hypotheticals:
Design & Presence: How do you think this blindfolded Swiss marksman compares visually and conceptually to the charismatic British representative contender?
Character Dynamics: If Freya and Cecilia were put in the same room—or pitted against each other on the IS simulation arena—do you think their shared aristocratic pride would spark an immediate, clashes-of-ego rivalry, or would they form a mutual respect as elite long-range specialists?
I would love to hear your thoughts on her design and how you see her fitting into the broader Infinite Stratos universe!
Following up on my previous squad poster post, here is the upgraded look at my Original Characters in motion! I’ve put together a 50-second showcase featuring full 3D 360° turnaround sweeps for all five members of the unit—Mimi, Freya, Synatra, Lola, and Jake—to give a proper look at their plugsuit designs, gear details, and silhouettes.
If it came down to a full 5v6 mock battle, how do you think things would play out between the two teams? Do you think Ichika, the three representative contenders, and his two childhood friends have what it takes to take on an elite unit like the I-S-X-C-S squad, or would the main cast have their hands completely full? Let me know your thoughts below!
Here is a look at the core lineup for Steel Reaper Squadron, the primary Original Characters featured in my Infinite Stratos fanfiction project. Each pilot brings a distinct visual aesthetic, individual color-coded aura theme, and tailored role within the unit.
Steel Reaper Squadron Roster
Jake Jackson (Callsign: Ripper / Pilot 005): Squad Leader — Leads the unit from the front with sharp tactical focus, fierce aggression, and unmatched close-quarters capability.
Lola Russell (Callsign: Stinger / Pilot 004): Second-in-Command — Fiercely confident and lethal, serving as Jake's right-hand strategist with a high-octane, aggressive combat style.
Synatra Veil (Callsign: Sledgehammer / Pilot 003): Heavy Assault — The squad’s blunt-force brawler, bringing relentless physical conditioning and front-line pressure.
Freya Sworkofski (Callsign: Gunsmoke / Pilot 002): Recon Scout & Marksman — A calculated, cool-headed forward scout and sniper who locks down long-range targets behind her specialized visor interface.
Mimi Nya (Callsign: Synthwave / Pilot 001): Combat Medic & Electronic Warfare (Hacker) — Agile, fast, and deceptively playful, combining high-speed cyber infiltration with crucial field support to keep the squad alive.
Let me know what you think of the visual aesthetics and individual squad dynamics!
Here’s a short teaser clip introducing my Original Character, Jake Jackson, featuring custom visual art and a voice line preview! As the hardened survivor of Project Nova and pilot of Storm Ghost, he’s far from your average academy student. Keep an eye out—the link to the full fic will be posted here soon!
