Trey
Archetype: Human Philosopher
Trey's philosophy is simple: Everybody's
going to die anyway, so why not speed up the process? Actually, it's a bit more
complicated then that. He believes in what is called Perpetual Suicide, a state
of progressive self destruction. Since all actions eventually lead to an
inevitable death, every thing we do and every moment we exist is self
destructive. Essentially, we are killing yourselves merely by existing.
Any attempt to confront Trey with the fact that since he's still
alive he violates his own philosophy is futile. He has a bewildering
array of arguments backing his positing and even if these fail there's
still the fact that he's psionic. Oh, didn't I mention that before? Well,
he is, and his powers center around mental manipulation, giving him the
ability to persuade most people into a virtually suicidal state.
Visually, Trey is in his late twenties, somewhat short and fairly ugly.
He maintains a patchy beard and is already beginning to go bald. Although
fairly reserved a majority of the time, Trey becomes furiously imposing
during debate. If he begins to lose the upper hand in an argument you can
almost visually perceive him engaging his psi powers as he calms and begins
to stare down his opponent.
Costello
Archetype: Dwarf Chemist
Costello is in the process of attempting to convince Trey
to form a clandestine organization devoted to, basically, killing everybody.
They were old friends in college and continued to meet and debate until
the day Costello inhaled a bit of Compound 32421 Zeta while working for Fuchi, a mixture which shorted out a majority of his brain functions and
creating a personality which is now locked on the idea of ridding the world
of everybody. Another side effect is the fact that he pisses himself when
he's nervous. In any case, Costello needs the psychological support of
Trey before he's willing to do anything drastic, like fill Seattle's water
supply with a compound he developed during his final days at Fuchi, Compound
7261342 Krag, which causes the simultaneous hemorrhaging of every blood
vessel in the brain. As Trey solidifies his philosophy, Costello's ideas
are looking better and better.
Texas
Archetype: Human Street Samurai
Currently paid by Costello to sit around
and wait for Trey to make up his mind, Texas and the rest of his team will be
instrumental in the deployment of any chemicals Costello has concocted. Texas is
somewhat spindly looking, which translates to "quick", and possesses a low level
move by wire system which makes him as jumpy as a flea on cocaine. His specialty
is ambush, and he'll wait, shaking with nervousness, until his target approaches
and then pounce and tear it apart with a wide array of protruding cyber spurs.
Grenada
Archetype: Ork Street Samurai
Grenada isn't especially pleased with his current duty
of sitting around watching the trid and is eager to get back to what he
does best, namely, shooting people with machine guns. His tendency to light
his cigars with his flame thrower of a Zippo mere inches from belts of
exploding ammunition makes his colleagues a bit nervous, but they usually
get over it when they remember how well he utilizes that ammunition on
the streets. Personalitywise, Grenada is cynical and complains a lot and,
for some reason, has the inability to accurately construct metaphors resulting
in drivel like the following: "My machine gun is my catapult, helping
me succeed in missions during which I probably would have had to use explosives
instead, or perhaps even a flash grenade.".
Eclipse
Archetype: Human Rigger
For the most part, Eclipse thinks everybody in the entire
world is a moron and thus wants very little to do with any of them. He
spends his time encased in his mobile home of an Ares Dragon, communicating
solely by radio transceiver unless it is absolutely essential that he speak
with somebody face to face. And then he just opens the door a crack.
