Jane McColl

Calvin Dieter

The Dynamic Operations Group, or D.O.G. as it's more commonly called, is a small mercenary team hired by the Gargeno Federation through Calvin Dieter in order to keep the peace and maintain the alliance between the tribes, sometimes through violent means, hence why it's kept a secret from the general populace.

## Members

The core of D.O.G. is the three man team that runs the show, this team consists of:

* Jeff Horse, self appointed leader and driver of Machtackle. He uses his analytical skills and fights with a level action rifle alongside a folding sword/shield combo.
* Carlos Bancroft, their gunner. He keeps the other two from getting too enthusiastic and uses a plethora of firearms to fight with. Among these firearms are: an assault rifle; a grenade launcher; at least two semi-automatic pistols and a sawn-off shotgun.
* Jane McColl is the fastest and most stealthy of the three, so as a result she acts as a scout and close combat specialist. She's the cheeriest of the group by far, keeping happy throughout almost any situations. She fights using her "Chainsticks" alongside a wrist-mounted grappling hook and a semi-automatic pistol.
Jud Barker

Jud Barker is a member of a The Ravens a merc team working for Lancelot and is a Second Class Mercenary of Lancelot. His team specialises in assassination and sabotage for the highest bidder.

## Personality

Jud is a man who likes to be very open with people and having a 'You only live once' sort of live style, This is very different from how he acts when on a mission. He's a common drinking buddy of Alisha Walker and Robert Micro, it's unclear how they met

Skaargath

"*As much as they wouldn't want to admit it, these Skaar guys do have a heart, or at least Shaba and The war vet have. They don't kill if they don't gain anything from it, so that combined with the fact that they've already taken out any competition makes their territory one of the safest places around. Weird huh?*"
—Reginald Erenson summarizing the concept behind Skaargath to Tia Yarde

Skaargath is the name given to the usual "hunting grounds" for The Skaar. Since Shaba and Tristan Carmichael don't allow unnecessary killing and since the competition in the area has been either killed or violently driven out, the area is actually one of the safest places in the wasteland... to an extent

Luis Spencer is the head of the city-state of Gasos. Credited for bringing the country through the great war and being a major pillar on which The Gargeno Federation was built on, he seems to be loosing momentum. His daughter, Annabelle, ran away at a young age and is presumed to have died. The stress caused his marriage with Alissa Ross to break apart. Long story short, things aren't going too well for this guy at the moment.

* Calvin Dieter - Acting as the liaison between the Dynamic Operations Group and the rest of the federation, relaying orders in order to keep the peace
* Alistair Drakensword - Elected mayor of the smaller city-state of WhiteGravel, he sees the council as a necessary annoyance in order to govern effectively
* Rico Bakuto - Mayor of Lysander, he sees the use of the council, and would probably enjoy it, if it weren't for the fact he is stuck next to Drakensword, who he does not like at all

* Harold Winchester - Mayor of the large city-state Blaloc
Osprey

Rignogg

Doomcracka

Lugnut

Wheelbusta

The Osprey gang are a gang of bandits roaming the channel wasteland, sort of like The Skaar but without the charm or standards. They were founded by Grimshredda a few years back and frequently raided The Conductors, responsible for the deaths of many, among them being Mallard Fight Club champ Ben Matthews.

## Members

There were a lot of members in this gang, among the more notable ones being

* Grimshredda, the leader and biggest of the group
* Zutox, the brains of the operation and head mechanic
* Rignogg, the best driver of the group and backup leader for if anything were to happen to Grimshredda (such as, say, being killed by an angry man with a suit of armour)
* Doomcracka, the meanest of the group. He's a great shot and master of explosives
* Lugnut, Zutox's less than intelligent companion and backup engineer
* Wheelbusta, the second best driver of the lot and bitter rival of Rignogg
Moravia Industries

Moravia Industries was a past world umbrella corporation with a hand in almost every major industry, even dabbling in trying to solve world hunger, of course doing this led to the findings of the Floobplant, which could survive in pretty much any situation, after all it was found deep within the Mariana trench.

Although not confirmed, it is theorised that they had something to do with the creation of the Danag, the mysterious vampire cult of humanoid beings which mysteriously rose to the surface after the Serina restoration project. Even though their curiosity hasn't exactly lead to the greatest creations, they're intentions aren't bad or evil.

They mainly operate within the Eurasian region, there have been some sightings of old Moravia research facilities out in the west.

Melanie Carolina, also known in some circles as 'Ramjet', is an informant for Radio FreeNut and highly skilled driver. So much so that it was her driving which originally brought her to Clara Ferrant's attention, as her reputation as a one-woman road warrior was fearsome indeed. Her car is the infamous Dirt Boss, a highly modified racer from way back when. It should be noted though, that she is an extremely selfish individual, only looking for what's best for her and her ride, the only reason she's with Radio FreeNut right now is because it pays well

### Played By

Matthew Brown

Tristan Carmichael is the second in command of The Skaar and right hand man for Shaba. His skill as a tactical leader and relaxed, calm demeanour make him unusually suited for the role, and he played a major part in keeping The Skaar as a major force to be reckoned with in the wasteland.

After mistaking a band of scavengers for Gargeno fighters and ordering his squad to open fire on them, Tristan ran away from the British army. He was caught though, thanks to the efforts of Robert Micro and other parties within the organisation. Whilst on his way to be court-martialled for desertion, the convoy he was being carried in was attacked by a Skaar raiding party and everyone in it was killed, except for him. Him and Shaba quickly became friends and have had one another's backs ever since.

Just don't ask about the nickname, let's just say there's a reason he's no longer allowed to drive.

## Personality

While he may not look like it, compared to the people he travels with, Tristan has a rather easygoing attitude to life, taking problems as they come. He is unique among The Skaar in that he actively avoids swearing and profanity, often to the amusement of his comrades, particularly his close friend Shaba. There is a dark side to Tristan's personality though, as he isn't above using particularly sensitive subjects to tease and taunt his enemies, hoping for them to open up a sort of weak point that can be attacked. Nevertheless, he remains one of the most dedicated Skaar members, working alongside Shaba and Scopes in planning and coordinating the activities of the group. He also possesses an very good memory, contributing to his militaristic fighting style and skill at picking locks and other related abilities.
Jennifer Micro

Father - Brian Micro

Jennifer's Pistol

Jennifer, usually known as Jen, is Rob’s sister and she handles the close-quarters combat needs of the team. She has a natural ability to be able to get close to an enemy without being noticed somehow. even the other members of the team have no idea how she gets so close without being noticed but don't really care as her combat is as much needed in their group. Trained by her mother, the renowned special operative Zoe Micro, stealth and efficiency come naturally to her on the battlefield. As a result of this training that no other wastelanders can boast, she carries herself with an air of pride and confidence, believing that she can handle practically anything that is thrown at her, she's yet to be proven wrong.

Despite her somewhat cocky nature, she prefers to keep to herself unless around those she's more comfortable with, such as her brother Robert or best friend Amber.

## Fighting Style

Jennifer usually relies on surprise tactics with her shotgun and pistol, but when in close combat she uses a kukri and a quick and somewhat showy fighting style.
Betsy

Robert Micro

Jennifer Micro

Hercules Magma

Betsy is the car used primarily by the Mercenary team in The Mercs and they call it Betsy (mainly Robert Micro and Amber Kiss). The name Betsy was coined by Micro upon finding it, as a joke, and after a while the nickname stuck. Betsy was randomly found by Rob after the war with the Gargeno as he was doing jobs for the Lancelot Company in it's earlier stages and he took a liking to the Vehicle and decided to keep it in the end.

Betsy has a few modifications added on by Douglas McArthur, most notable a winch and a modified exhaust system that enables it to spew black smoke out of the back, acting as a smokescreen, along with smaller things like sand tyres and an upgraded engine. But due to these upgrades she 'drinks' fuel like no tomorrow and needs to be re-fueled more often than most, Due to this Rob's team also gets paid in fuel so that they are able to keep up with Betsy's fuel consumption somewhat.

The Edo Project is an enigmatic organisation based out of dual bases, operating in both the underground complexes of Glasscow and the slums of Blaloc. It was founded by Miss Caird with the goal of creating a perfect living weapon through a combination of brainwashing, intensive training and other, more invasive procedures. They tend to keep a low profile, with only their failed attempts ever being known to the outside world, and most of those too scarred to speak of their time there.

The Lancelot Company is the preeminent mercenary companies in the channel wasteland. It was formed by Richard Baxter and Derek Sakata in order to provide a platform and support network for the many mercenaries and guns for hire out there, forming a sort of limited military government.

## History

Lancelot started off as a small idea between the two minds of Baxter and Sakata, Between them they decided to setup their very own mercenary company but as they planned for this they needed to find a place to start it all. After searching for a few weeks for a place to start out one of them found of a fort looking place in the middle of the channel desert. To their surprise, the building had only a few bandits inside. But when the pair were scouting out the fort the bandits left and didn't return, Sakata and Baxter took this chance to take over the fort to set up shop. As some time passed and they started to look for guns for hire to act to work for them out in the channel desert, a team of all females calling themselves The Valkyries turned up on their doorstep and requested to join. As this was the first team wanting to join the newly formed Lancelot Company, they were accepted with open arms and with this the soon-to-be powerful mercenary company was well on its way to its eventual full power.

After 'The Valks' joined Lancelot they had a sudden influx in applicants, the pair decided to clear out all of the other buildings in the fort to convert them into places for the mercenaries to sleep, eat, relax and train. But with the sudden increase in mercs joining, the demand for more resources such as ammunition and food increased massively, leading to a few opportunistic traders setting up shop just outside the headquarters. Eventually these traders pooled together and set up a town of their own, run by their rules with protection from Lancelot Company mercenaries hired using money collected from the trading.

"*I feel the same, or at least, I try to. Whenever the feelings come back, that nagging voice in the back of your head. "You did this" "This is your fault" "Lucy would still be alive if it wasn't for you!"*"
—Eren opening up to Carlos Bancroft[[Bad Dreams|[src]]]
Reginald Erenson, usually known as Eren, was a childhood best friend of Carlos Bancroft, Lucy Barrett and Jamie Wilhelm. He took to a life of isolation after the events in the Blaloc lab. After the events at the lab he was thought to be dead, he took advantage of this and quickly relocated to an abandoned rail carriage in the middle of the desert. He's pretty well antiquated despite his isolationist attitude, knowing Noremac pretty well and being acknowledged by The Skaar as "the annoying guy with the sword".

## Personality

Eren and Carlos both share a similar experience from the events of the lab, although they have both dealt with the trauma in different ways. Eren ran from his problems, distracting himself with card houses and alcohol he found on the train. He's noted to be an alcoholic and has issues with being abandoned. Years of loneliness have slowly taken their toll on his psyche, so much so that now he refuses to leave anybody he finds, for better or for worse. He can get obsessive over details, and follows a strict no-swearing policy, much to the frustration of people like Tia Yarde and other allies although Noremac seems to treat this tendency with respect, probably due to him following a similar rule set.

You Can't Fight In Here, This Is The War Room!

Jeff Horse is the leader of the Dynamic Operations Group (according to himself), he keeps everything under control behind the scenes and oversees them on a tactical level. He was the one who made the decision to partner with the local government due to his lack of people skills as this way he only had one person to report to.

He's rather socially awkward compared to his comrades, seemingly suffering from social anxiety or something along those lines. He does excel at dealing with graphs, charts and books, with a rather analytical nature and an extremely dedicated work ethic. An interesting side note is that despite his natural skill with books and such, he struggles greatly with handwriting and getting his thoughts onto paper, often persuading Carlos Bancroft or Jane McColl to just write down what he's saying.

Hercules Magma

Lone Wanderer

Hercules' Knuckle Dusters

Hercules Magma, also known as 'Herc', is one of the main characters of 'The Mercs' and the sniper of the team, working alongside Robert and Jennifer Micro as well as Amber Kiss. Naturally, he's the best shot of the crew. He has a long range sniper rifle which he can use with great results and for when things either need to get close up or silent he has a type of small but deadly crossbow pistol.

## Personality

Hercules has a somewhat of a more serious attitude when it comes to doing mercenary jobs when you compare him with the rest of the people he works with. Even though Hercules has a serious attitude he has a 'lighter' side to him when it comes to people he knows and is very known to if he sees fit to do a job his own way such as killing when Rob says no killing.

## Background

Hercules grew up in an unknown place in Ireland and at a young age realized that his eyes were very much different from other as they would allow him to zoom in with his eyes and view objects/people depending how his eyes acted, This brought discrimination upon him as he was a magic holder which were publicly objected in Ireland and received much hate from others due to his eyes. But as time progressed Herc moved away from Ireland and decided to when he had another money to do so he would become a mercenary, With this in mind time progressed a lot faster and eventually after a year or 2 of working was able to get his hands on a sniper rifle

## Powers

Hercules Magma's eyes show that he posses magic, specifically Type B mutations. Unlike other Type B users, Hercules' alterations are somewhat more subtle, limited to just his eyes. Unlike most eyes, Hercules' have essentially a zoom function, allowing him to see for great distances, even more so when combined with a sniper scope, this helps him tremendously on the field.

## Fighting Style

Hercules usually fights from a distance, using his Sniper Rifle and crossbow pistol, although when in close quarters he uses his Knuckle Dusters and a wild, street-brawling style. I know there's not much technique but he's Irish, he's probably drunk

The Walkasherlian Empire is a secluded city-state in the Channel Wasteland, it makes a point of not allying with the Gargeno Federation or anybody else as the inhabitants feel it's best for them to avoid getting involved. The empire was founded by Noremac after he instigated a civil war in order to break off from the Old Walkasherlian Empire alongside a group of his trusted allies, among them being the great tactician Samandriel, who through an incident involving a Type E healing spell is now a mostly mindless thrall

Carlos "Carlie" Bancroft is the support gunner for the Dynamic Operations Group and was the childhood best friend of Jamie Wilhelm. After he took to wandering the wasteland due to an incident caused Jamie Wilhelm to turn on him, he was recruited into the would-be Dynamic Operations Group by Jeff Horse mere minutes after they decided to threaten each other during a confrontation over Jeff's makeshift abode.

After breaking into a labarotory alongside Jamie Wilhelm, Reginald Erenson and Lucy Barrett, a vat of an unknown subtance fell directly on Wilhelm, causing him to go insane and attack the others, killing Barrett and severely injuring Erenson. Overcome with fear, confusion and guilt Bancroft ran away from the city-state of Blaloc, where the incident took place; taking to wandering the wasteland in search of a fresh start.

He eventually ran into Horse when he stumbled, dehydrated and hungry into Horse's makeshirt abode, made out of an old fuel station. He presumed it to be abandoned when he couldn't find any signs of life there, and he started to make himself at home. After about a minute however, Horse returned with water and the two engaged in a good old fashioned standoff for possession of the hangout. Mostly due to their typical testosterone fueled attitudes, they refused to back down untill the station was attacked by raiders. After fighting alongside each other and watching each other's backs, the two decided to share their hideout and better prepare for other bandit incursions, since neither of them could shake the feeling that more were to come.

## Personality

Carlos has a rather similar personality to Noremac, as they are both realistic, strong willed and rarely break into humour. He acts as a foil to both Jeff Horse and Jane McColl's more cheerful personalities, helping to keep the group from falling apart through their, interesting, ideas. He's rather antisocial, usually keeping to himself unless he's directly addressed or has something worth saying. He has a merciless approach to fighting, with a no-nonsense look at living in the wastes.

The British Army was the primary fighting force of England up to the ending of The Gargeno War, Nearing the end of the war England though corruption and other such things could no long support itself and 'imploded' due to the inability to support itself anymore, Many remnant city states of England still keep the same laws and Rules and military force which England used to have.
Sigurd's Gem

"*The rifles and other assorted cargo are mere distractions to the real prize inside. An artifact, capable of surrounding the user in an aura of smoke, Sigurd's Gem. Originally it was confined to a cape actually, the effects were a lot more confined then. I have a hunch that the cargo was being hidden from the ship's destinations, but knowing Dustwall's reputation I wouldn't blame them*"

At some point before the world fell, it gained control of the equipment in the facility, using it and the remaining resources to construct a small army of Security Drones to defend the facility and its inhabitants. Surviving until the present day, the facility was stumbled upon by a bunch of wastelanders who took to listening to its tales of the old world, after it figured out that the drones ran out of ammunition decades ago

The Channel Desert is a vast expanse of sand, some say in the old world it used to all be a massive sea of water, believe it or not. Most of Playing By The Rules, The Mercs and Hopper take place here, as many organisations and locations can be found, from the sprawling slums of Blaloc and the underground machineworks of The Conductors to the vast empty spaces of the Skaargath region and the ruins of Huaj.

### First Seen

Open Book

The curious creation by Books and Smoky, Walrus used to be a bin lorry. Now it's something else, with the rear mechanics gutted and being used as some strange form of lifting mechanism, the two arms on the front giving it it's trademark 'Tusks'. The Walrus is driven by Bolt, and crewed by Books and Smoky themselves, as a form of mobile forge. As soon as The Skaar settle down somewhere for the night, the rear door opens and Walrus becomes the engineering hotspot for the Skaar members. Where Books and Smoky design and create all the weapons and gadgetry used by the fighters, as well as fixing all he things that inevitably get broken.
The Pearcer

The Pearcer is Hedrok Pearce's personal transport and war machine. In another day, it was a high end sports car, now it's been fitted with armour and weapons, ready for Hedrok's one man war on bandits.

* A large machine-gun covered in an air scoop
* Caltrop thing on the back
* Nitrous Oxide injectors for the engine
* A parachute for sudden stops, usually after using the nitrous
* A slightly modified steering system, allowing Hedrok to 'lock' the wheels in a certain specific direction, allowing him to move to the back
* Some makeshift armour, including window reinforcement
* Raised suspension and tyres replaced with sand tyres, for traction
* Passenger seat removed and used for additional storage space with the nitrous controls
* Roll cage
Liu Kong

Kong's Skates

"*Kong's the name, not Liu, and believe me you'll need more than a collection of gimmicks to beat me*"
—Kong, dressing down the competition before the Tournament

## Powers

Liu Kong possesses magical abilities. His subtler Type B magic grants him superhuman perception, essentially letting him see the world in slow motion. This, coupled with his high agility and quick weapons, allows him to practically dance around his opponents, and makes his skates much more viable, if still a little silly.
The Conductors

Ben Matthews

Isaac Firebox

Ada Nesta

The Conductors are an independent city-state in the channel wasteland, based out of the old-world channel tunnel. They're known for their advanced technology yet comparatively primitive culture, spending most of their time drinking and getting into fights. They used to be plagued by both The Skaar and Osprey bandit gangs, although The Gargeno War and the Hoppers respectively dealt with that.

Misha Khan

The Old Flame is an airship used by The Magister League as a mobile base of operations. It arrived with Misha Khan, the latest addition to the crew, meaning they no longer had to periodically move from base to base when they got too public.
Dustwall Civil War

The Dustwall Civil War was a major event. Before fighting broke out, Dustwall was the largest of the city-states in the Channel Wasteland. Due to internal political conflicts (mostly centered around the controversial mayor, Ryan Grey), the city-state split into two major factions and started fighting in the streets. After the Civil War came to an uneasy peace, the British invasion of the channel tribes happened, leaving the city-state a mostly dilapidated series of wrecks.

The civil war has changed many characters' backgrounds and could be argued as a major reason why the Gargeno Federation is what it is today
Shaba

## Media

### Played By

Aaron Florey

A seven(ish) foot behemoth with a taste for kebabs and a school bus of death, Shaba leads the nomadic hooligans known only as The Skaar alongside Tristan Carmichael. His weapon is the creatively named "Boolet", a custom-built axe with a shotgun built into the handle, allowing him to lay down powerful attacks at both close and medium range.

 Despite his brutish appearance and nature, he is deceptively smart and able to think on his feet. A good example of this would be when he tricked Noremac into going after Reginald Erenson in his search for the gem; a move that would in theory rid Shaba of a persistent annoyance in his territory and get Noremac to leave them alone for the time being. He thinks of himself as being like a father to his tribe, a sentiment which most of The Skaar (particularly Scopes, their lookout) agree with.

He is a sexy beast

## Personality

Shaba has fun, and he thinks it to be sad that him having such a good time is so notable. He prefers the simpler solutions to problems, such as hitting them in the face until they stop being problems. His carefree approach to life is often criticised by wastelanders such as Carlos Bancroft as they never see his as taking things seriously, his response is usually to point out the fact he has an entire tribe following his every word, so he must be doing something right. He acts as a big brother figure to many of those he knows, insisting that if any of The Skaar have a problem or question of any kind they talk to him in person, this is because of his past involving his sister Juliet. Since their parents abandonded them at a young age, Shaba had to look out for Juliet for a long time, keeping her safe from the many dangers of the channel desert.

These districts are each dedicated to a specific purpose, most notable of which being the Edo district, geared towards creating the perfect living weapon. Glasscow believes it has created the perfect society, with individuals from each district being unable to interact with the others without express approval by the elders.
Radio FreeNut

Tani Shintaro

Clara Ferrant

Radio FreeNut can be best described as a radio broadcasting group based out of the Gargeno city-state of FreeNut. The main staff are Dustin and Jessie Cage, alongside Tani Shintaro and Clara Ferrant.

Nuckel

The Orcadian

Not much is known about Nuckel, for none who have seen it have lived to tell about it. All that is known is that it's inhumanly tough and large, able to survive stab wounds and brush off gunfire with ease. It's been credited with the destruction of Old Huaj and it's been said that merely the sound of its borderline demonic roar could drive a man to kill himself.
WhiteGravel

Tani Shintaro

WhiteGravel is a smaller city-state in the Gargeno Federation, mostly just being a smaller trading hub for the nearby areas. It is led by an elected mayor, currently being Alistair Drakensword

## History

Zutox

"*Lugnut, get yer ass in there, we've got us some plunderin' to do!*"
—Zutox bossing Lugnut about

Zutox is a member of the notorious Osprey bandit gang. He's the brains of the operation, as well as their head mechanic. As a bandit with a high kill-count, you'd think not mocking his height would be a given, but apparently some people have risked it, and it doesn't tend to end well.
