Dena Fallingtree
Archetype: Human Tribal Warrior
One of the special breed of warriors dedicated to protecting their
homeland from intrusion, Dena Fallingtree grew up along the border, having
seen local villages ransacked or damaged by smugglers time and time
again. When she was 16, Dena was kidnapped by a group of terrorists who
had taken refuge in her town. During their attempted escape by aircraft,
Dena was tossed from a Cessna, falling 30 meters onto a rocky ridge. Both
of her legs were mangled beyond saving and she went a decade without them
until local villages raised enough money to provide her with cyberlegs,
despite the traditional tribal aversion towards extreme cybernetic
enhancements.
Mobile again, Dena Fallingtree joined the border patrol and quickly became
well known for the ruthless way she handled smugglers and terrorists
caught under her watch. Dena will often "forget" to inform the rest of
her team about possible foot crossings, choosing to handle the situation
personally. Occasionally her plan backfires, and she is forced to call in
support and explain her actions to her superiors. But more frequently the
intruders mysteriously vanish, their bodies never to be found.
A strong woman who has secretly had high level reflex enhancements
installed, Dena prefers high powered assault rifles, grenade launchers,
and swords as her primary weapons. She is also highly skilled in stealth
and knows her territory so well that she can run through the wilderness
blindfolded without so much as stepping on a twig.
Serna Darkbrow
Archetype: Human Tribal Warrior
Sporting masses of muscle, a large frame, thick black hair and sharply
chiseled features, Serna Darkbrow is one of the most feared warriors of
her nation. At the age of 12, Serna saw her family get incinerated before
her eyes when a stray UCAS border patrol missile detonated her small cabin
home. Scared both physically and emotionally (beneath her garbs are
masses of burnt, contorted flesh) she has sworn a death oath against the
UCAS military, specifically their border guard division. Skilled with
assault rifles and heavy machine guns, Serna has also trained with LAWs,
always keeping one or two with her in case the need to wax a UCAS chopper
ever arises.
Skyhunter
Archetype: Human Eagle Shaman
An excellent BAC-Dassault-MBB Military Variant pilot despite his lack of a
control rig, Skyhunter relies solely on his powerful list of custom
detection spells to navigate his aircraft, locate his targets, and
manually guide ordinance to their target. Skyhunter is probably most
feared for the pack of Wind Spirits that accompany him on combat
flights. These loyal entities use their powers to disrupt, confuse, and
occasionally down enemy aircraft before Skyhunter even arrives on the
scene. Since enemy aircraft rarely have magicians as a GIB, simply the
manifestation of a spirit in front of their aircraft is often enough to
scare them into bugging out.
An older man whose slow reflexes require that he use confusion and
surprise as a weapon, Skyhunter almost always flies without support,
picking off smugglers in isolated locations and working hard to minimize
collateral damage. Tales exist that say he is so in tune with his
aircraft that his aura is actually connected with it, creating great
difficulty in mounting a magical attack against him or the aircraft.
Devon Northwind
Archetype: Human Tribal Warrior
A huge man covered with camouflage tattoos and usually equipped with a
heavy machine gun, Devon Northwind totes his heavy weapons like they were
toys. He is probably the only person in the world who can quick draw a
missile launcher.
If it flies or rolls, it's Devon's job
to make it explode. And if the targets within the vehicles are needed
alive, it is Devon's job to blow just enough meat off them that they'll
never forget their mistake, but still don't board that final train to
greet the reaper. A fan of tribal literature and history, Devon is
deployed only during last resort situations. He has a history of
instability, tends to prefer solitude, and gets extremely nervous if he is
within a 20 meter radius of two or more other people. Between
assignments, Devon usually camps out in his stripped down Ford-Canada
Bison, reading electronic books downloaded through his satellite link.
