All named and portrayed characters- major and minor.
Mark Guildford
Rank: Staff Sergeant
Age: 27
Specialist Skills: Sword Combat, Rifles, Squad Command
Birthplace: Westhoughton, Alidor
Details: Mark first saw action against invading tribesmen on the Novatal frontier. Since then he has found himself commanding a small number of squads on the frontline against the new Valorian threat. He often thinks of the day he can return home to see his fiancee, Sarah. In private he is thoughtful and reserved but when needs require, he shows a flair for leadership and a strong sense of duty which has resulted in a fast climb in the ranks.
Sam Tennent
Rank: Corporal
Age: 23
Specialist Skills: Rifles
Birthplace: Terbia, North Bergenstein
Details: Tennent is a hot headed and moderately experienced soldier in Mark's squad. He is always ready for a fight but sometimes lets his eagerness get the better of him. He also has a bad habit of poking fun at Gibson, due to the historical rivalry between North and South Bergenstein. He is a heavy smoker.
Michael Gibson
Rank: Private
Age: 21
Specialist Skills: Heavy and Support Weapons
Birthplace: Schwarzberg, South Bergenstein
Details: Gibson is a relatively new recruit, and has only seen six months of action in the war. However he has been trained in heavy weapon use, which Mark often forgets. He lacks confidence sometimes and wants to prove himself to his peers.
Drake Edwards
Rank: Lieutenant, Promoted to Captain
Age: 34
Specialist Skills: Infantry Command, Pistols
Birthplace: Westhougton, Alidor
Details: Drake likes to think he is best friends with Guildford due to coming from the same town. However his personality and commanding methods at times are bolder than desirable. As a result he has a mixed reputation that he is well aware of, and strives to show off his true ability. His right eye is damaged meaning he can no longer take part in direct operations. This and the shortage of senior ranks has put him under command of far more men than a normal Lieutenant would be.
Jurgen Boltzmann
Rank: Corporal
Age: 21
Specialist Skills: Support Weapons, Rifles
Birthplace: Merchen, Westphalia
Details: Boltzmann is a stoic, steady and respected soldier and speaks with a moderate saxonic accent. He is assigned to a small heavy weapons team.
Leo Black
Rank: Chief Surgeon
Age: 49
Specialist Skills: Advanced Medical Training
Birthplace: Stratton, Alidor
Details: Black sometimes lives up to his name- a morbid and uncompromising Doctor who has seen too much over his long career. Despite this, he is strongly protective of soldiers served by his triage and boasts excellent battlefield medical skills. Some call him 'Old Sawbones', however the more experienced regard him as a father figure.
Thomas Cooper
Rank: Sergeant
Age: 25
Specialist Skills: Rifles, Squad Command
Birthplace: Elchester, Vercia
Details: Cooper is a tall, wiry man with slick blonde hair, and one of the Sergeants indirectly lead by Guildford. He has a reputation of being a gentleman and many agree he would make a good officer. Coming from Vercia, one of the smaller states, he lives without the internal rivalry some soldiers develop and often gets on well with all of the men due to his cheery nature.
Andrew Nolton
Rank: Sergeant
Age: 32
Specialist Skills: Rifles, Squad Command
Birthplace: Hanwell, North Bergenstein
Details: Nolton is an older and grizzled sergeant who has been moved to Guildford's section with others to replace the wounded or killed. He is a large man with thick eyebrows and a square jaw, and has a longer record of service than many of the other soldiers. However his temper and attitude have sadly held him back at sergeant rank for many years now, making him somewhat bitter of younger superiors.
Wilhelm Holst
Rank: Lieutenant
Age: 30
Specialist Skills: Rifles, Company Command, Sword Combat
Birthplace: Attendorn, Westphalia
Details: Holst is a tall, experienced lieutenant who has been sent in with the mass reinforcements to assume command of Guildford’s sector and another Company. He takes his job and rank very seriously and demands only the best from his troops. Unlike many others he sees the war as a great experience, but one that must be won at all costs, resulting in an underlying ruthless streak. Coming from Westphalia, he has a heavy saxonic accent. |
