![]() Author has written 5 stories for Girls und Panzer/ガールズ&パンツァー, Star Wars, and Star Wars. If you're interested, what follows is a bio of sorts for the main original character seen in Projekt Jägermeistern. Erich-Dietrich Hartmann, also often referred to as Bubi, is the main protagonist of Projekt Jägermeistern. One of the descendants of the number one fighter ace of all time, Erich Hartmann, Erich-Dietrich Hartmann is a student of Ooarai High School in his sophomore year. He's the Staffelkapitän of Ooarai's Jägermeistern team, and is also the pilot for Messer-Ein, the callsign for Ooarai's Messerschmitt Bf 109. The Bf 109 Ooarai possesses had first been an E-4 model. It was eventually upgraded to become a G-2 model, and further upgraded into its most recent state as a K-4 model. A stereotypical German in appearance, Erich is a boy of slightly below average height with short blonde hair and blue eyes. He has a notably youthful appearance, which gives him his nickname Bubi. He most often wears an outfit consisting of black pants, black boots, a white button-up shirt with a green tie, a black jacket representing those worn earlier in the war by Luftwaffe ground crews, and a Gewehr-Zielfernrohr 4-fach sniper scope on a string around his neck. In combat, he wears much the same outfit, except he ditches the green tie. He wears a similar arrangement when in more casual settings, also ditching the green tie during those scenarios. His jacket was originally bare, but it was later modified with the image of a knife stitched into the back of it. This trait is shared with the rest of the ground crew of Messer-Ein. Erich's favorite band is Sabaton, a Swedish power metal band. He has a lot of merchandise of them, which includes all of their songs among many other things. He also has quite an appetite, particularly for potatoes and chocolate. He's ordered one of every item off of a restaurant's menu a number of times. He seems to have absolutely no knowledge of the Japanese language, even after coming and staying in Ooarai. He prefers to speak English for the most part, but he'll sometimes divert into German during some more informal situations. Erich is somewhat of an enigma. He's very calm practically all of the time, but his personality varies greatly depending on whether or not he's in combat. Out of combat, he's a very carefree and fun-loving person. He's also very laid-back, sometimes reaching the level of extreme laziness. He's such an extreme level of the aforementioned characteristics that he does not get shy at all, meaning he can make friends and get along with practically anyone. Within combat, he becomes very serious and decisive. He is extremely skilled as a fighter pilot. It was once mentioned over a news report that he is one of the top two aces in the world, the other being his brother. Also an oddity of him is his stubbornness in some areas. He refuses to bend to anyone's will if he doesn't like the reasons behind them, and somewhat opposing that is his extreme humbleness. He does not take credit for any accomplishments of his, instead preferring to deflect it or to turn the tables. Partly because of this, he also has somewhat of an inability to perceive how much his actions have an impact on others. One very notable characteristic of his is his loyalty to anything he deems worthy of it. Not only does this include friends of his plus his comrades on the Jägermeistern team, but it also grew to include Ooarai High School as a whole. He sees the school as being much like his home after arriving there. Part of that loyalty of his also includes his extreme caring for some people in particular, most notably Miho Nishizumi. His extreme loyalty to his friends extends to many people, but there are a number of relationships he has that deserve special attention. First up is his closest of friends, Miho Nishizumi. Although not appearing as such, she is actually German, having grown up in the same town as Erich. During their time growing up in their hometown of Weissach, the two had come to meet each other during a rather odd encounter that nearly ended with Erich and his brother being run over by the Nishizumi sisters in their Panzer II. After settling things out after that incident, Erich and Miho were introduced to each other by their older siblings. They were about five at the time. After that moment, they grew very close to each other over the years as they went to school together. Eventually they began attending Schwarzwaldspitze High School of Germany for their freshmen year, but the International Arts of Warfare Tournaments of that year, the 62nd running, had a sour finals match for both of them. So in response to things coming to a head between him and the rest of the Jägermeistern team, Erich chose to leave Schwarzwaldspitze and head off elsewhere. He would find himself heading off to Ooarai. He had grown regretful of leaving Miho behind, but he felt it to be necessary at the time. He was soon relieved, however, upon discovering Miho had coincidentally come to Ooarai, as well. Things ended up soon going back to normal for their friendship after they formally met again. Throughout Ooarai's time in the 63rd running of the tournaments, the two had grown closer together, and eventually Miho admitted to having fallen for him before their big fight against Schwarzwaldspitze. She waited until after the fight to reveal it to him, to which he calmly accepted her offer of a relationship. Miho was elated by his acceptance, and she no longer became shy around him in private. One thing that's unique about their relationship is that Erich has said that he himself didn't have any romantic feelings for her, unlike Miho. Erich simply stated that all he wants is to see Miho happy, and that he would be willing to do anything to ensure her happiness. He even admitted that he would be willing to love her in a romantic way if it made her happy. Miho is the opposite. She is always the one to initiate any romantic moment between the two, and she can get really passionate with it pretty quickly. Oddly enough, and opposing her romantic behaviors, she's also the more mature of the two outside of combat. Nevertheless, Erich cares very much for her. He has implied exactly how much he does with his singing of Für Immer to her. Perhaps Erich's greatest fear is having to leave Miho behind. For some time, he was haunted by the idea of Miho no longer being friendly to him because of him leaving her when he left Schwarzwaldspitze. The only time he has ever been in a state where he absolutely could not remain calm was when faced with the prospect of having to leave her behind again during the time Ooarai was briefly shut down. The fear does somewhat work both ways. During that same length of time when the school was briefly shut down, Miho was very upset at being separate from Erich. She was never far from tears simply because of the lack of his presence. Miho herself had also held fears that Erich did not like her after Schwarzwaldspitze lost against Pravda in the 62nd tournaments' finals. Both care very much for the other. They also both love each other dearly, even if in different ways. They would always be willing to support each other, even during the toughest of times. The two of them have both served as inspirations for others, both as themselves and as for representing Ooarai itself for many, many people around the world. Next up is Erich's older brother, Alfred-Joachim Hartmann, otherwise known as the Black Devil. The Hartmann brothers could not be any farther from each other in personality. While Erich is quite carefree and fun-loving out of combat, Alfred is much more strict and image-conscious. He's a much more ruthlessly efficient kind of German than Erich is. Partly because of their vast differences in personality, the Hartmann brothers don't always see eye-to-eye with each other. This came to a head after the loss against Pravda in the 62nd tournaments' finals, where Erich decided to break away from Schwarzwaldspitze to forge his own path and make his own choices. After Erich got to the finals again the next year with Ooarai, the Hartmann brothers had a dramatic showdown as the top two aces in the world so as to settle their differences. Like Erich, Alfred is also enigmatic, but in his own way. While Alfred may seem cold to Erich, he also is very generous and caring at the same time. Even if he doesn't agree with Erich all the time, Alfred is always willing to help out his younger brother if needed. Although very different from Erich, Alfred also has a favor for potatoes, though his is different. He has a taste for whiskey along with that liking of potatoes. Another person of note is Maho Nishizumi. Erich and Maho actually have a decently good friendship with each other from their time growing up nearby each other within Weissach, Germany. Both share the same desire of looking after Miho. Also, Maho was the first Nishizumi that Erich ever met, so he's highly familiar with her, almost as much as he is with Miho. Nevertheless, Maho was not entirely accepting of Erich at first when Miho revealed she had gotten into a relationship with him. She was quick to make sure Erich wouldn't leave her before she relented and accepted their relationship. Not quite as notable, but still very important, is Erich's relationship with Shiho Nishizumi. For a very long time, Erich hadn't remained favorable to Shiho, despite the great relationship he already had with her daughters. Only after she witnessed Erich's relentless determination to care for Miho did she finally give him something remotely representing her approval. Despite her disapproval of him, the ruthlessly efficient German woman still treats Erich with great respect. One of the most notable of his friends is one he hasn't seen for at least five years: Gerhard Königsberg, often called Gerd. Gerd was, and still is, someone who is not easy to get along with. But Erich was able to get him to join him in doing Jägermeistern in elementary school while he still lived close to Weissach. After Gerd moved further east in Germany, the two lost contact with each other. Five years later after coming to Bellwall Academy, Gerd finally tracked down Erich again before he and Miho fought Pravda in the 63rd tournaments. Gerd decided to attend the match for 'personal reasons,' and he went to watch Erich from afar. He was invited to watch alongside the Nishizumis by Alfred, who he had a huge hatred for five years prior. He watched the match and, alongside Alfred, was also able to help convince Shiho to not disown Miho. He also spectated the fight between the two Hartmann brothers, and he 'cheered' for Erich during both fights. He has a rather tough form of encouragement and cheering because of his hard personality. Nevertheless, he remarks that he always considered Erich to be the absolute best, and that he knew he could win. Gerd is very willing to help Erich out in times of crisis, and he has quite the advantageous position to do so. He is on the International Jägermeistern Federation as the representative for the current heads of the Hartmann flight school, that being Alfred's and Erich's parents. With this position, he was able to help facilitate a chance for Ooarai High School to remain alive. According to him, he only did so to keep his dream of fighting Erich alive. Both he and Emi Nakasuka became inspired to renew their dreams of fighting Erich and Miho when they both saw them win against Schwarzwaldspitze along with them getting together. Another important person in Erich's life is a 'rival' of his: Hans Jochen. Also from Germany, Hans is at the same grade level as Erich, and he's greatly invested into Jägermeistern as well. He is an extremely talented pilot, such that he's sometimes able to compete with the Hartmann brothers for the top spot. He likes to compete with Erich whenever possible. Upon getting into Schwarzwaldspitze and discovering Erich, he was quick to consider him his one and only rival. Hans was very hostile to Erich because of his lack of taking Jägermeistern seriously, but that was eventually worn away when Schwarzwaldspitze was soundly defeated in the 63rd tournaments' finals. He had previously criticized Erich for, ironically, saving him from a fiery death the previous year in the 62nd tournaments' finals when he was shot down and his plane caught fire after he crash landed. After being soundly defeated in the next year's finals, he finally acknowledges Erich as being correct in his decision to come save him. Erich has many more friends that he made during his time at Ooarai High School, many of them part of the Jägermeistern team. He has a high sense of camaraderie with all of them. He had once stated that he could never leave his men, as that would be bad leadership. Among his friends are the ground crew of Messer-Ein. There's Anton Silva of America, Herz Benz with Prussian roots, Nathan McBraun from Canada, and David Faul of America. These four are the closest of the friends Erich had made during his time in Ooarai. They're all very close to each other and are willing to stand for each other and Erich in a heartbeat. The opposite is also true. Erich is always willing to help out any of them during any troubles they may have. Most notable of those scenarios include when Herz was banished by his father along with David's brother being attacked and taken to a hospital. Erich had determined he would do his best to help Herz regain acceptance from his father, and Erich also promised David's brother that he would look after David and make sure he did well for himself. Another friend Erich had gotten to know at Ooarai is Aprikose Novat, the President for the boys' division of Ooarai High School, at least in name, and also the pilot for Würger-Zwei, Ooarai's Focke-Wulf Fw 190. At first an Fw 190 A-4, later on enough money was raised to convert it into an Fw 190 D-12. The two originally had a very tension-filled start with each other. Aprikose had tried coercing Erich into signing up for Jägermeistern, but Erich's lack of respect for people that used such methods led to a great stand-off between the two until Aprikose admitted defeat and backed down from his coercion. After that point, the two became good friends, and Erich even helped out Aprikose with becoming a better shot. Aprikose always has encouragement for Erich, for mainly one reason. It's because of his love for the school, which Erich shares. Aprikose saw both Erich and Miho as being Ooarai's hope during the times the school was at risk of being decommissioned. A Bavarian at heart, Aprikose is not someone who generally works a lot, instead preferring to play around. But if push comes to shove for saving Ooarai High School, he will definitely play his part. Erich had also become friends with Anzu, Ooarai's dominant President, because of his time around Aprikose and the rest of the student council. One thing notable to Erich about her is her great skill as a cook. Erich had heard about her great skill from Aprikose, and after getting a good taste of her food, he agreed with him fully. Like Aprikose, Anzu also has plenty of encouragement for Erich, for similar reasons as her male counterpart. The Japanese girl's love for Ooarai motivated her to place all of her hopes for the school's survival into the hands of Erich and Miho. Erich also is friends with many other Jägermeistern Staffelkapitäner. Among those is his older brother, but he also knows many others. There is Arthur who leads Saint Gloriana High School's Jägermeistern Staffel. Hailing from England, Arthur is someone who is plenty known for his very calm personality and his habit of quoting famous quotes. He also loves tea like many people from Saint Gloriana. Arthur is always very polite and is also known for his chivalrous attitude to combat, likening it to knighthood. There is also Chuck, who leads Saunders High School's Jägermeistern Staffel. From America, Chuck is very relaxed and laid-back, and he's also very fun-loving. Also notable about Chuck is his preference for playing fair. This stems from his vision of Jägermeistern as being a sport and not war. Although he's highly laid-back, he's a very insightful person, as well. He has a good sense of camaraderie within not just his Saunders teammates, but also with Erich and many others. There is Franco, Anzio High School's Comandante. This Italian is quite passionate about Jägermeistern, but he is also very sportsmanlike. Although he remarks that he'll destroy Erich's team, he at the same time wishes for a good game. Similarly, although he may give his best, he's also someone who can accept defeat in a sportsmanlike manner and congratulate the enemy. He also likes to throw large parties for seemingly no reason, complete with freshly prepared Italian food. There's also Sasha, Pravda High School's Jägermeistern leader. The Russian ace is fiercely competitive against Erich and seemingly any other German, and he gives nothing less than his very best. Because of his extreme dedication to the sport, his tactics also include messing with the enemy's head and trying to crush the enemy's spirits. But even though he may take it hard, he is able to accept defeat. Lastly, and perhaps Erich's best friends among the Arts of Warfare leaders, are Alice Shimada and Dziubek Skalski, the Panzerkraft and Jägermeistern leaders respectively for Selection University. These two Polish prodigies had been friends with each other for a very long time, much like Erich and Miho have. Both were initially too shy to interact with the two Ooarai commanders, but after losing to them in a very hard-fought battle, they finally were able to overcome their shyness to congratulate Miho and Erich on their victories. They chose to do so with souvenirs each of them had been given out of kindness by either Miho or Erich. Later, Alice and Dziubek decided to come to Ooarai High School out of the blue, in search for a place to live a normal high school life. During their day aboard the Zuikaku, they grew a great friendship with both Miho and Erich. Like Erich, Dziubek is also a huge fan of Sabaton. Both Alice and Dziubek were initially shy around everyone in Ooarai, including Miho and Erich, because of anti-German propaganda being drilled into their heads by the Polish ever since they were young. But after having heart-to-heart talks with Miho and Erich and realizing their kindness in the process, they grew greater happiness and confidence around them. In the process, they had also ended up falling into a similar situation as Miho and Erich, where they had grown extremely close to each other. They eventually ended up getting together themselves, like Miho and Erich did prior. But despite their great friendships with Miho and Erich, Alice and Dziubek wish to remain their eternal rivals in battle. Miho and Erich have also served as great inspirations for Alice and Dziubek, not only from their great friendship, but also via their roles as confidants and pseudo-counselors. An indirect influence is the Polish teens having fallen for each other after witnessing Erich's and Miho's relationship. (Bio is an eternal work-in-progress. May be updated where seen fit.) Projekt Erika is currently a tentative project, and won't be started on until Projekt Jägermeistern is finished. In the meantime, here are some sneak peeks in song form for what can be expected from the project. The songs shouldn't be too difficult to identify if one is familiar with Sabaton and, to a lesser extent, Hammerfall. Further elaborations on the meanings behind them can be found within specific chapters of Projekt Jägermeistern's 'The Legends Still Live On.'
