Darwin
Archetype: Human Scientist
It is obvious this individual is smarter
than his own good. He is short, and incredibly skinny from his time spent in the
lab. He has many, many, many intelligence enhancements and gives the impression
of being completely insane. He talks above everybody but his companion.
Darwin actually thinks he's Darwin. He
started calling himself this a couple of years ago and never stopped. He has
managed to journey to just about every one of the places that the original
Darwin did and has adopted all of his research as his own. In his lab he
constantly has all religious channels running and when someone comes on talking
about Adam and Eve he will maniacally jump up and down on his chair and scream:
"You're wrong! You're so, so wrong!"
By his request, the rest of "Team Darwin" has adopted a name
which in some way relates to the man and his journeys and research. Actually,
he paid them lots of money to do it.
Mr. Pierce
Archetype: Dwarf Scientist
Older looking with long white hair and a
white beard. He is a rather calm man and is always seen with a cigarette in his
hand.
Mr. Pierce has been the friend of Darwin
for many years, back before Darwin went nuts. He is also very intelligent, but
is much more down to earth, acting as translator when Darwin begins to speak in
some dead European language none of the rest of the team understands.
For the most part Mr. Pierce hangs back and makes sure Darwin doesn't
hurt himself. He also makes his "expedition" plans and keeps
touch with the reality his friend has lost.
Brake (Lyell)
Archetype: Elven Rigger
A rather glum individual, Lyell is always dressed in black.
He speaks slowly and apathetically and uses the word "whatever"
a lot.
Chances are Lyell would have blown himself away years ago
if he hadn't hooked up with "Team Darwin", who constantly gives
him different vehicles to drive and money to pay for his anti-depressants.
The team has been in combat situations a couple of times and each time
has turn tail and ran, usually in one of the team's vehicles. The rest
of the team, especially Downing, dislike him and would really like him
to go away. Fortunately, Darwin likes him and won't let anyone remove him
without his permission.
Simon Says (Dawson)
Archetype: Human Bodyguard
Big and bold and rather obnoxious. He's
quite attractive and knows it. Even in frigid weather his can be seen wearing a
tank top, exposing his baby-oiled muscles.
Dawson's is in charge of protecting
Darwin during expeditions and other excursions. He is skilled in light pistols
and since he wears very little armor, has major skin and skeletal reinforcement.
Big Fark (Downing)
Archetype: Ork Mercenary
Mean and nasty and pissed that he's
stuck with his current contract. He has scars all over him, gets drunk a lot,
and swears at every possible opportunity.
Downing signed his three year contract
thinking that traveling with a mad man to exotic locations would bring him
plenty of ground combat, but other than blowing away an elephant when it was
charging, not much has happened. He has looked through his contract for every
possible loophole and has yet to find one.
He doesn't get along with much of any body on Team Darwin, especially
Lyle, who he has threatened to shoot on several occasions.
