Alex Meda (Protagonist)
Age 17
Kent, England
BIO: The prodigal son of OutRapture leader Vincent Meda, Alex is eager to step out from behind his father's shadow and earn his name as a true Nomad. He's a natural and he'll be the first to tell you. Alex's inflated ego and love for a good fight makes him tough to get along with, but beneath his rock-star wannabe exterior is a genuine desire to protect people from the Mythan threat. Unlike most Nomads, he has training with a wide variety of firearms, something he gained through mysterious circumstances.
Sample: Was your face that ugly before or after I got to you?
Vincent Meda
Age 41
Kent, England
BIO: A former Peacemaker, Vincent left the Corps shortly after the death of his wife in a pre-Crisis Mythan attack. He formed the Nomad pride OutRapture with Richard Prader and made a name for himself in Namibia at the start of the Crisis. Since then, Vincent and OutRapture have earned global acclaim as one of the most successful Nomad prides in existence. Some have criticized his decision to allow his son, still a minor, to join his pride in some of the most dangerous places on earth.
Sample: Alex, run! Get out of here!
Richard Prader
Age 34
California, USA
BIO: After leaving California at a young age, Prader initially partnered with Vincent Meda as a weapon designer, seeking new modern approaches to medieval-styled weapons that could withstand the Mythan threat. As it turned out, he was just as good at wielding his new blades as he was at making them, inspiring the duo to form their own Nomad pride, OutRapture. He remains second-in-command of the pride more than a decade later.
Sample: As to WHY all that happened, I'm just as lost as you. Nothing makes sense right now, and that's ignoring the fact that there's a guy fifty yards from us shooting at orcs with an assault rifle.
Reiko Kusanagi
Age 22
Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan
BIO: As a child, Reiko was a dedicated student and a borderline prodigy when it came to magic. Her family encouraged her to pursue her talents toward a career in science, which led her to study at MIT's mana-tec branch in Boston right out of high school. However, just one year after leaving her home country, she abrupty dropped out of college and joined the Nomad trade. She has yet to publicly explain her reasons for such a dramatic career shift, and the only person who really knows why may be the man who recruited her, Vincent Meda.
Sample: And if at least some part of the UN is involved, there's no one to stand in their way. Not the Peacemakers, not the army, not law enforcement...
Jake Ceir
Age 37
Israel
BIO: Not much is known about Jake's history prior to becoming a Nomad. In fact the name "Jake Ceir" is most likely an alias. He has admitted to being involved with the Mossad for most of his young life, but the details of his position in the agency, and his departure, are unknown. He apparently was trained in stealth, assassination and subterfuge, skills which come in handy as a Nomad. Despite his sullen attitude toward his past, Jake is known for his boistrous and dry sense of humor. Has a strange fear of turtles.
Sample: Alex, the situation has... escalated. I don't quite know how to explain it...
Naza Lashin
Age 31
South Africa
BIO: Naza reportedly had a rough childhood as an elf in the predominently-human Cape Town. She took the first chance to get out by enrolling in the humanitarian group Outreach in high school. Unexpectedly, she found herself stationed in Namibia just before the fall of that nation's government. With her superiors killed or fled and most of her contact outside cut off, Naza found herself leading a desperate refugee movement at age 16. Miraculously, she managed to move hundreds out of the country before the ignition of the Crisis. Unable to shy away from trouble, she took up the Nomad life shortly after.
Sample: First your father runs into a cave full of dragons, then Ricky is taken down by a goblin. Will we ever find a good role model for you?
Esau "Rhino" Gleeson
Age 51
Arizona, USA
BIO: Like Vincent Meda, Gleeson is a former UN Peacemaker, and the two briefly served in the same company. He left the Corps on better terms though, having served long enough to retire, but couldn't settle with civilian life. As one of the very first Nomads, he was already a respected veteran by the time the Crisis broke loose. Since then, he has traveled the world taking the fight to Mythans while offering training and guidance to rookies. Unlike most Nomads who organise into prides, Esau has operated solo through his entire career. His brute-force fighting style earned him the nickname "Rhino".
Sample: I've been fighting Mythans for twenty years, sonny. You may have the guts, but without experience to hold them together, they'll just end up strewn all over the place.
Senator Nodin
Age Unkown (late 50's)
New York, USA
BIO: Current Republican Senator of New York, Leo Nodin has been the subject of speculation since his role as ambassador to Namibia fifteen years ago. While championing his success at managing the aftermath of the Namibian government's collapse, Nodin has encountered controversy over the legitimacy of his credentials. He has been accused of falsifying his college career, his high-school diploma, and even his birth certificate. His political opponents have called to question whether the man Leo Nodin actually exists. Despite repeated backlash, the charismatic Nodin won election to the US Senate and has served three terms. New controversy has erupted over his support of the Metropolitan Defense Act.
Sample: There are many ways to seize power. Next time I won't be so... diplomatic.
Sgt. Henry
Age 39
Missouri, USA
BIO: First Sergeant Tobias Henry joined the United States Armed Forces relatively late in life, but adapted well to the uniform. His dedication to the Service may have been spurred by the death of his son eight years ago. Though stern and even feared by his subordinates, Henry has a reputation for placing civilian lives above all else in a combat situation. Known to dole out harsh punishments to anyone who calls him "Toby".
Sample: Here's some common sense: If I give you a gun, you'll get cocky and start shooting at every bloodthirsty mythan in sight, and that's how overeager civilians wind up dead! I'm not asking you to play Lone Ranger here, just get in, help those men, and get out.
Tech Sgt. Kaye
Age 22
New Mexico, USA
BIO: Marcos Kaye's military career is plagued with so many demerits that it's a miracle he ever made sergeant. A high-school dropout, Kaye nonetheless found his passion working on car parts and aerocraft but always had trouble paying the bills with local work. The Army offered a more steady income, but also a strict environment of drills and respect, which he seems to have a problem with. Being mostly a mechanic in the tank division has kept him out of the ire of combat units, but he's more than expressed an interest to see some action himself. Notorious for his foul mouth and obscene tattoos.
Sample: I'm from the land of Dongivafuck! Population: Me and Jack Shit. Now are you gonna make yourself useful or am I gonna have to waste some perfectly good buckshot on your Eurotrash ass?
