Babylon: SIGNALIS ALKR Guide
Difficulty: Moderate
What is an ALKR?
ALKR units are the backbone of the Eusan Nation People's Army. They are mass produced, low cost infantry units most typically found on the frontlines or combat zones during wartime. They are a retrofitted branch of the ARAR Unit, which employs a combat-capable persona in the same frame. While most of these units are manufactured directly, some pre-existing ARAR units are retrofitted-their personas altered while their memory remains untouched, and their frames are lightly reinforced to match that of a factory ALKR unit.
How do I roleplay as an ALKR?
ALKR units typically keep to their squad-mates. These units know their way around a firearm, and display satisfactory shooting at a firing range, often attempting to rival STAR units in competitions. ALKR units frequently train themselves physically. It is not uncommon for these units to spar with one another as well.
It is noted that these units run in packs, or “squads"- the sisters often staying together and isolated from civilian staff due to their persona, and feeling as if they couldn't fit in with them. There may be rare instances where factory ALKRS may butt heads with retrofitted ALKRS, to which these disputes are often settled with managed 'fist to cuffs'. Depending on how the sparring match goes, the units will either resent one another more, or learn to accept each other. This also plays a large role when electing a platoon officer amongst their ranks, which they often call "Offizier".

Disclaimer:
ALKR units are the main combat units within the facility, and are expected to engage in offensive manoeuvrers when required. Due to the nature of this unit, their personality tolerance is much like an ARAR or EULR, allowing for more freedom when writing the character.
It is recommended that you allow the ALKR unit's personality to be shaped by events on the field, as they can still exhibit signs of PTSD. The more your character deviates, however, the closer they get to persona degradation. Be mindful of this, but do not let it stop you from developing your character however you wish. If you wish to transfer a pre-existing ARAR unit into this position, you must still apply for the role, and pass the training in-game.
