Mac JayBird
Archetype: Human Reporter
Mac is a very uncharismatic individual in both the physical
and social sense. His face is hideously ugly, almost deformed and he is
handicapped by an obvious hunch. These conditions ruined his chances at
becoming the reporter he always wanted to be and Mac has since become cynical
and bitter at pretty much anybody. He is constantly out to show the world
that he is a better reporter than everybody else by taking incredible risks
to get the story. Although he has managed to sell his material to a number
of trid stations they always end up using his story and his footage, but
never him, in the broadcast. This has only elevated his anger and motivated
him to take even more risks, hoping that maybe some day he'll get a story
he can use to get a contract.
Martha Mays
Archetype: Human Trid Camera Person
Martha, a young, red headed former
socialite, was once a camera person at her father's station. Finally her
snobbish and spoiled demands for an anchor position pushed him to the point that
he fired her. Now she goes on high risk shoots with Mac, not for the reason of
earning a reputation and getting back into the business, but for the purpose of
causing her father an extremely high degree of anxiety.
Elliot Roper
Archetype: Human Trid Editor
Roper, an over weight and odor enhanced
male in his early twenties, was kicked out of broadcasting school due to an
unfortunate tendency of altering footage and time codes in order to make the
story appear better than it really was. Mac and Martha have also forbidden him
from doing this and for the most part Roper just hangs out in the group's van,
drinking beer, committing acts of flatulence, and slapping together the footage
they hand him.
