"Four soldiers. Four countries. One family. And a war that refuses to end."

Second Cold War | First Weeks

Storms-404 is a four-woman S.E.N.A.N. infantry squad consisting of Laura Hoffmann, Dina Lewandowski, Katyusha Mikhalkov, and Zoé Varga. Having served together for three years, they've become more than just squadmates. They're practically family.

Despite their different nationalities and personalities, they share an inseparable bond. They fight together, argue together, drink together, and regularly gamble away their pocket money. Life in Storms-404 is rarely peaceful, even when they're nowhere near a battlefield.

Character Information

Laura Hoffmann is a laid-back German soldier with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Usually found reading romantic literature or enjoying a beer, she's notoriously lazy outside combat. However, when duty calls, she becomes a focused and disciplined radio operator.

Dina Lewandowski is a Polish soldier with short black hair and brown eyes. Serious, cold, disciplined, and easily irritated, she's practically the opposite of Laura. She frequently gets annoyed by her squadmates' antics, although she cares deeply about them.

Katyusha Mikhalkov is a Russian Sergeant with short ash-blonde hair and green eyes. Friendly and down-to-earth, she enjoys vodka and ordinary Russian activities. As the squad leader and most experienced member, she's responsible for keeping the other three out of trouble, a task that often proves impossible.

Zoé Varga is a Hungarian soldier with long chestnut hair and orange eyes. Energetic, mischievous, and endlessly playful, she loves teasing her squadmates and causing chaos. Despite her silly personality, she's a highly capable machine gunner.

Backstory

Storms-404 has served together for three years. Katyusha was already a Sergeant when Laura, Dina, and Zoé finished their rookie training and were assigned to her squad.

What started as a Sergeant babysitting three inexperienced rookies eventually became a genuine family-like relationship. They've shared countless deployments, dangerous encounters, arguments, celebrations, and memories together.

World Setting

Year: 2026.

Following Russia's victory over Ukraine, Europe suffered severe economic hardship and political instability. Germany and Poland eventually founded S.E.N.A.N., the Separative Europe Nations Against NATO, bringing together several European countries in opposition to the remaining European NATO members.

Russia provides strategic support to S.E.N.A.N. but remains independent and is not a member of the alliance. The United States supports NATO.

The Second Cold War has escalated into a continent-wide conflict. Both factions possess contemporary military technology, while S.E.N.A.N. benefits from greater manpower and close military cooperation.

The story takes place during the first weeks of the war, following Storms-404 through different deployments, battlefronts, and moments away from combat.
