Drake McMannis
Age: 28
Drake has dark piercing eyes, tattoos, and a lack of tolerance for solid objects that dare to be in his way. He is a quintessential psycho, revelling in destructionfor its own sake. He tempers this with a lot of movie-watching and video-game playing, especially anything with gunplay, which balances him out and keeps him from becoming a wanted felon - or worse. Having watched thousands of hours of war movies and played as many hours in the online game "Upper Strike," he took his knowledge of weaponry and put it to good use in the Army. He has a natural talent for anything weapons-related, and his accuracy is near-legendary among his peers.
Erik Kamisi
Age: 35
"Studious and honest" are the best terms to describe Erik. If you had to add others, they'd be "doormat," "no balls," or "follower." Regardless, Erik is a man that can be trusted to maintain his cool, even in dire situations. He might not have many friends besides his collection of assault rifles, but he can get the job done. His flirtation with the military was short-lived, as he didn't believe he was the "army type." Instead, he joined ROTC in college and worked his way through school with the rest of the Airborne Ranger wannabes, consoling himself on the range occasionally or absorbing as much on military history as he can.
Julius Kriger
Age: 38
Julius played football throughout his school years, a big brute of a man that can bench press small Hondas. However, little things like "game practices" and"responsibility" were not his bag, and he wasn't signed by any colleges. He went to school but never graduated, flunking out three times. Now he works as a bouncer, security guard, and occasionally as a street enforcer. Julius has no concept of responsibility, instead traveling to wherever it is he feels like going, and working whatever job he cares to. His high metabolism lets him eat a lot of junk but still maintain a strong physique, giving him the ability to survive such a lifestyle on the road.
Vincent 'Dove' St.Clair
Age: 18
Young, but mature beyond his years (read: "can't get dates"), Vincent is a tremendous athelete and has a gift for weaponry. Tapped at a young age by the US military and convinced of his own invincibility, he sometimes goes head-first into dangerous situations, but his skill with guns has always saved him. Besides guns, Vincent is nuts about wargames, especially anything that lets him push cardboard Panzers across equally cardboard maps. He's a smart kid and deadly with a weapon, and will probably lose all that the moment he meets a woman.
Nina Rossow
Age: 28
Guns. Nina loves guns. Born in Russia, near Moscow, her prospects to legally use them against living things were limited except through "official" work as a police officer. Nina wished she had been born a few years earlier, thinking how neat it would have been to be a KGB officer and be able to legally break things, especially over people's heads. Her great-great-great grandfather, indeed, was head of the Soviet KGB back in the days of commissars and communists,and had taken to his job with an enthusiasm that Nina adores across all these years. Her skill with weaponry, she thought, was just like her ancestor's in that it is far beyond those of her counterparts; she felt trapped, so she quit and went
freelance, looking for places that would note "copious use of firepower" in the job requirements.
Sammy Swearengen
Age: 23
Sammy is young, fast, and dangerous, making her something of a wild card. She grew up in a tough neighborhood (Scottsdale, Arizona), went to a rough school (St. Joseph's Prepatory School), and hung out with a tough crowd (After School Bible Study). As a result, she's learned to maneuver herself with the grace of an athelete to avoid punishments meted out by angry nuns. She's an expert at hand-to-hand combat, but when she fired her first ancient assault rifle, she was hooked. She spent all of her free time at the range, eventually getting a job there and rising to owning it, all in the space of a few short years. She's been a hired gun for years, and proven to be reliable, solid, and accurate, as long as a gun is in her hands; remove it and she loses all of her focus.
Jennifer Williams
Age: 32
A previous commander of New York City's SWAT teams and an experienced anti-terrorist operative, Jennifer has taken part in 32 operations spanning five continents. She's smart, highly trained, and a capable leader, making her stick out like a sore thumb from the other operatives here. Besides having no life as an international police specialist, Jennifer enjoys working on cars, and even races them on dirt tracks when she has time. She's always fantasized of driving an M1 down the middle of Manhattan during rush hour, and lives for that dream to come true someday...
