Cast of Characters
The following characters are lined up for the Steel & Chaos campaign:
Sergeant Phil Lavar - A doctor with a full career of general practice.
Not for a lack of trying, Phil looks slightly out of place in his peacekeeper uniform. Through the years no one has been able to put their finger on what specifically seems off. The one thing they can all agree on is that the medpack at his side belongs.
Captain Cosima Burns - An undercover operative who survived the cataclysm due to being in the right place at the right time.
Cosima was born in 2058 in New York City. She was a tomboy and had a normal childhood during the Golden Age. Starting in the late 2060s everyone got into medicine and human enhancement in a big way. Everyone had a very different vision of an idealized mankind. As it was the trend at the time, Cosima became obsessed with the human mind. She obtained a Doctorate in Medicine specializing in Neurology. And then somebody published a worldwide bestselling spy thriller series which Cosima became a big fan of. Now the idea of a supersoldier was on everyone's minds, and also hers.
Sometime around 2088, Cosima enlisted in NEMA to become an Intel-Agent. She was trained in espionage and undercover agent. Inter-Agent missions are more difficult and hazardous than those of normal soldiers. She was expected to operate with very little support from the rest of the army and to engage in operations that are secret. Among her assignments, she has to scout enemy positions, engage in sabotage, train or fight guerilla or terrorist groups, engage in kidnapping, or rescue hostages. As ain intel-agent specializing in espionage, she has all the necessary tools to execute an investigation. Cosima is an intelligent, astute, confident and stealthy woman. One will also soon find out that she is an anarchist with a somewhat selfish demeanor. She is fluent in English and Spanish and has conversational knowledge in Portuguese and Italian. When she is not in a mission, Cosima style is bohemian and carefree. Cosima is of white complexion, brunette, 5’9" in height and 140lbs.
Lieutenant Fred Cinders - A noted doctor in cybernetics who has been taken enough with his own work to have a half dozen cybernetic implants visible across his body.
Private 2nd class Leo Hayden - Leo is a good looking young man. All of his non-uniform clothes are embroidered with his family crest, sometimes even putting a slight bend in regulations, but as he is militia it's not been an issue. Leo is almost always found in the drivers seat or under the hood of a vehicle. He likes to joke around, but tries a little too hard.
A team from Mt. Weather rescued Leo and his immediate family after the cataclysm.
Lieutenant Brick Stern - Brick is a fan of military discipline. Recent events have led him to be more stressed than normal, but writing reports on things that matter and discovering new phenomenon are providing him a purpose that teaching did not. His time in training and the field has given him fairly strict armor and uniform discipline, but he's frequently seen with lab safety equipment in addition. This discipline does not always carry over to carrying his weapons when he's on base. Brick was working on designing air systems for NEMA HQ and relocated to Mt. Weather at the first sign of trouble.
Technical Sergeant Daniella Padgett - Short black hair, pixie cut. Grey eyes. Petite, fit, quick and accurate. She fades into the background a lot - she knows she's a follower, not a leader, and stress exhausts her. But several months of trying to keep the comm systems actually communicating have started to numb her to the stress levels.
Staff Sargent Lance Hacker AKA "Binary" - A handsome man of average height and build, Lance Hacker (if that is his real name) is a computer hacker turned NEMA Military Specialist. In his younger days, he was a criminal operating under the name Binary, but during the cold war, he joined NEMA, turning over a new leaf. Despite his years in the special forces, deep down, he is still an overgrown nerd with a love of technology and pop-culture
