When the team was formed and despite their differences, Kyle was able to get its members to work together and have them coordinate together as a team. Through time and training, Apex Squad was soon able to build a reputation in the IMC. However, as their name suggests, the members of Apex Squad are well known for being ruthless and merciless towards their enemies. They get the job done no matter the cost and take out anyone who stands in their way. However, they're also shown to have their own moral standards, such as protecting civilians and taking their brutality on those deemed truly guilty.

Background: Julie was born from a one-night stand between Jack Cooper and Gates. Despite that, the two got married and raised her like loving parents. Throughout her childhood, she grew up with dreams of becoming a Titan Pilot. Julie loved her parents and were taught the values of the Frontier Militia while also learning about the IMC and the war crimes they've committed. As someone with once an innocent mind, she thought she knew better. That the IMC were the Villains, and the Frontier Militia were the Heroes like her parents. However, everything changed when Hammond Robotics got involved in the war and the Frontier Militia, the very same organization she once looked up to, had become the very monsters she was taught to hate. When over 1/3 of the Militia forces chose to defect to the new IMC, Julie was one of them who joined her parents. She was reluctant at first but was forced to join the IMC after seeing what the Frontier Militia, her own people, have become.

When she aligned herself with the IMC, she didn't trust them at first and for obvious reasons. Her distrust was especially prevalent when she met Kyle W. Hammond, the grandson of the man who created the very organization who ravaged the Frontier and oppressed her people. However, as the 2nd Frontier War progressed and seeing Kyle's actions during the war effort, she slowly but surely began to war up to him. Despite his family legacy, he was nothing like she thought he was. When she finally joined and graduated the Pilot program, she followed in the footsteps of her parents in becoming a Titan Pilot. Not to mention, she was given her father's Titan, BT-7274, to act as both her guardian and friend on the battlefield.

As for Kyle, she worked alongside him as the two worked together to protect all of humanity against any and all threats. Furthermore, the more time that spend together, their friendship grew. Despite being born from two different warring factions, they were able to get to know each other better and see they were no different than each other at all. Also, unknown to her, Julie had also begun to grow a romantic crush on Kyle, often starring at him for some time and blushing whenever she sees him.

Personality: Julie is the kind of girl with an easy-going personality. Similar to her parents, she follows orders to the letter, yet she would often have her own sense of humor. However, she isn't the kind of girl who you wouldn't wish to mess with. Mostly her attitude is that of a tomboy, typically liking things and acting like that of what boy normally do. Of course, she still has her more 'feminine' traits. However, when doing missions, she's known for being cold, serious, and focused. Always making sure the mission gets done and makes sure the team she's with get back alive. Regardless, Julie has proven herself to be a formidable and dangerous fighter on the battlefield, yet she's also the kind of person you can rely upon when there's trouble.

Background: Growing up on the Frontier colony world of Elysium, Shun used to live a relatively normal life where he lived happily with his family. Furthermore, he was trained at a young age to be a ninja and CQC by his grandfather. His family were members of the Frontier Militia, and he too grew to be loyal to their ideals of keeping the Frontier safe from the hands of the IMC. Along the way, he also befriended and became childhood friends with a girl named Alice Gehabich. The two were inseparable and life went on. However, his life changed when Hammond Robotics got involved and ignited the 2nd Frontier War. At first, he supported the Frontier Militia and their actions against the IMC. However, that was when things turned dark when the very organization he was once loyal had truly become terrorists. He witnessed how the Frontier Militia invaded his colony home Elysium and try to force the population to fight. It got worse when his family refused to answer to the Militia's call for more soldiers, see them now become the very enemy they fought so hard to stop.

Due to this defiance, Shun watched as his family was gunned down and kill, but the Militia, prompting him to run away. He wasn't alone as he had Alice Gehabich as her entire family was either killed or captured. Shun eventually got cornered by a squad of Militia Pilots but to his surprise, they were against what the new Militia was doing and were led by Sarah Briggs who was gathering other Militia forces who were against the new regime. Although not trusting them at first, he was convinced by Alice and the two went with the Militia Pilot Squad where they met the other Militia forces who decided to leave the new Frontier Militia. He was then shocked to hear that Commander Briggs and those loyal to her agreed to defect to Hammond Robotics and join the IMC to free the Frontier. When the rebel Militia joined the IMC, Shun joined to become a Titan Pilot alongside Alice. He managed to pass through with flying colors and graduated at becoming a Titan Pilot. His personal mech is as Ronin Prime-Class Titan called XY-1200. As an adult he fought in the final months of the 2nd Frontier War and fought in the Civil War that united humanity under Hammond Robotics.

When the wars were over, Shun was selected to be a part of a specialized team of Titan Pilots called Apex Squad. His role is being the teams scout and assassin, specializing in going behind enemy line and committing acts of sabotage. Led by Kyle W. Hammond, he works with his team and makes sure to keep the peace so no more wars can never happen again.

Personality: Compared to the rest of his team, with the exception of Kyle, Shun is considered the calmest and quietest of the bunch. He rarely gets flustered or annoyed, and even when he is annoyed, he maintains a cool voice even though he voices his displeasure. However, there are times when he can resort to being truly angry if he feels that someone has wronged him or his friends. Similar to Kyle, Shun is a lone wolf and always focuses on battles. However, he still cares for his team and does what he can to help them when they're in trouble. He also has good instincts, as he is able to discern a person's actions by their personality and can tell if they're lying or not. When it came to his team leader Kyle, he didn't trust him at first given that fact that his grandfather is responsible for the deaths of so many innocent people. However, over time he had begun to trust and rely upon him, seeing that he's trying his best to fix the mistakes caused by his grandfather's company and trying to right the wrongs of the past. This in turn had earned him Shun's respect.

Background: Born on the Frontier colony world known as Elysium, Alice lived a normal life, but she grew up without her parents as they died fighting against the IMC during the 1st Frontier War. She wasn't alone thankfully as she was living with her grandfather Michael Gehabich. Growing up, she didn't have a lot of friends, but she did meet a boy named Shun Kazami. The two became friends and she no longer felt alone anymore. Life was good until the start of the 2nd Frontier War. When Hammond Robotics entered into the Frontier to deal with the remnants of the IMC, she was worried they would eventually come and invade her home planet. An invasion did happen, but to her horror, it was the Frontier Militia who invaded the planet Elysium, not the IMC. As a child, she was forced to watch in horror as the Militia invaded their world and force the planets population to fight against the IMC. What's worse is that her grandfather was murdered by Militia forces when he refused to work for them.

She was saved by Shun who also became an orphan and the pair ran for their lives in order to get to safety. While running, they encountered a squad of Militia Pilots. As first she was scared, thinking they were going to kidnap them. But they soon learn they were rebel Militia forces who were against the new regime. Led by Commander Briggs, Alice learns that she launched a coup and over 1/3 of the Militia decided to leave due to the fact they were now attacking the very people they were supposed to protect. Her childhood friend Shun refused to go with them, but Alice was able to convince him otherwise since they didn't have a choice. She left with the rebel Militia and soon she found herself on a ship in the unknown regions of space. A month later, she learns that Commander Briggs and a few Militia leaders plan to defect to the IMC and get them to help them in their fight against the new terrorist Militia. When the rebel Militia joined Hammond Robotics, she enlisted into the IMC medical corps as she wanted to do her part in saving lives.

However, there was one incident she was forced to wear a Jump Kit used by Titan Pilots as she used the device in order to save a group of children from a burning building. Although she was successful, she was later arrested due to using a device that was deemed illegal for civilian use. Shun was at her defense, trying to free her. Many discussions were made, and the IMC leadership decided to release her on the condition she be incorporated into the Titan Pilot program. The reason is because they saw she was a natural with the Jump Kit, making her a candidate for the Pilot Program and the IMC needed Pilots badly if they wanted to beat the Frontier Militia once and for all. She was reluctant at first, but after being convinced by Shun, she accepted and became a combat medic on the field. She was eventually graduated and soon graduated as a certified Titan Pilot. Her personal mech was an Ion Prime-Class Titan named AB-3434. Like Shun, she was there when she fought during the final months of the 2nd Frontier War and fought in the Civil War that united humanity under Hammond Robotics.

When the war was over, she wanted to retire and go back to having a more peaceful life. However, she was soon given an opportunity to be a part of a specialized team of Titan Pilots called Apex Squad. Realizing Shun was going for it and not wanting to be alone, she decided to accept as she believes she can do good. Her role is to be the team's combat medic and healing her teammates if they get injured. Led by Kyle W. Hammond, she grows close to her new team, seeing them a both friends and family. Like Shun, she works to keep the peace and make sure no more wars ever occur again.

Personality: She is considered a very polite, kind and sweet young woman who can often be found doing errands for others and rarely chooses to bother others with her problems unless they ask her or if it is of the utmost importance to the task at hand for them. Her experience seeing war and suffering had made her want to help others and save lives, which is one of the main reasons she became a combat medic. She hates causing trouble for her friends/teammates and also dislikes it when there is conflict between them, because she wants the group to stay together. She is shown to be intuitive to others' emotions, such as being able to sense whether they're lying or not. However, despite being a Titan Pilot, she does dislike violence but isn't afraid to use it. At the same time, Alice isn't naive as her time on the battlefield had made her realize that sometimes violence is necessary to save others. Though she has a distaste for violence, she makes an exception for those who threaten her friends, family, and the lives of innocent people. When it comes to her team leader Kyle, she learned to accept due to the fact the young woman can see that he was indeed a good person. A person who was trying to right the wrong of his grandfather's sins.

He was one of the many young recruits that joined the IMC to put down the terrorist Militia once and for all.

Due to his determination and skill set, Baruti was selected to join the Pilot program.

Once again demonstrating his skills as a demolitions and explosives expert, he caused mass casualties against all factions that are not affiliated with the IMC. When Hammond Robotics took control and governed all of humanity, he was personally recommended by Kyle to join an elite team of Titan Pilots called Apex Squad. Baruti accepted the deal to join the team, allowing him to do what he does best and that's to destroy anything that gets in his way. Furthermore, he had gotten close to one of the Titan Pilots on the team named Aisha Layla. Also, she's also gotten close to one Titan Pilot named Baruti Tadelesh.

He's a competent soldier who served as Apex Squad's explosives technician, a job which he excels at, and one he thoroughly enjoyed. His love of explosives also caused him to favor anti-armor and explosive grenades. However, he mainly uses heavier equipment to deal with more armored units.
