T-Rex

Archetype: Human Rigger

Attractive and well built. He is twenty five, has prematurely gray hair and a thick mustache. He is a heavy smoker, the cockpit of his Panzer is filled with a perpetual fog. He tells outlandish stories, of which every single one of them is true. T-Rex is good. Damn good....at setting up the auto pilot. But when something goes wrong during his runs down the rockies he almost freezes. The military spec. auto pilot has spoiled him. Although it hasn't cost him more than a few plates of armor so far, eventually it will all catch up with him.

Gunny

Archetype: Human Mercenary

The gunner for the Thunderbird. Sits in a compartment at the rear of the craft and does his best not to get two excited and rake the undercarriage of his own aircraft. Gunny relies more on a steady supply of ammunition than actual skill, having an variety of heavy weaponry with rapid rates of fire at his disposal. The cargo area of the panzer is smaller than most due to the additional area taken up by Gunny's expanded ammunition bins.

Monkey Wrench

Archetype: Human Mechanic

Fixes the Thunderbird when T-Rex or Gunny racks it up real bad. One good thing about T-Rex's panzer is that if it goes down, Monkey Wrench will have the materials and know how to fix it immediately. The large number of spare parts (and armor) have decreased the cargo area available even more. During missions, when there is nothing to fix, she usually just sits back and stares out the window.
