Gunther's Characters

[Gunther]

Name: Katsu Ota
Age: 39
Nationality/Ethnicity: Japan/Japanese

Description: Katsu Ota is 5' 10" tall and weighs 170 Lbs. He has very short black hair and brown eyes. If he were to allow his hair to grow out, you might see a few grays hairs at his temples. Since he shaves daily, you also couldn't see the small gray hairs that might grow out in his beard. Katsu has a scar on the left side of his face that extends from just below his eye to the jawline. He is physically fit and possesses exceptional agility.

He can be found wearing either a business casual attire or the uniform of the Nakamura PMC (Private Military Coporation), his employer. The uniform is a throwback to an earlier time in Japanese history. The uniform consists of a set of updated samurai armor and katana. Often times the soldier wears a traditional kimono underneath the O-yori but it is not required. Each suit of Armor (Yori), Helmet (Kabuto) and Sword (Katana) has a soul or chi and personality all of its own due to the special craftsmanship that went into each piece. There are armor artisans found at NHC.

The Kabuto is only worn for ceremonies. The soldier wears a piece of cloth wrapped around his head and tied at the rear. The armor worn by the Nakamura PMC soldiers is constructed from many small iron (tetsu) and plates (ita-mono), connected to each other by rivets and mail (kusari). These armor plates attach to a cloth or leather backing. The armor is designed to be as lightweight as possible as the soldier has many tasks including riding a mount and archery in addition to swordsmanship. The armor is brightly lacquered to protect against a harsh climate. Due to the necessity for camouflage, the Nakamura armor is not ornately decorated as the ancient armor was. This armor is painted in a mixed splashed pattern of olive drabs, loam greens and sand colors to match the foliage of the planet they work on.


Occupation: Private Military Contractor (PMC) or Soldier employed by the Nakamura Private Military Corporation (PMC).

Side: Katsu Ota is contracted by the Hosokawa family, one of three Japanese families who control the Japanese Faction in New Hybernia City. The patriarch of the Hosokawa family is Shō Hosakawa. The Hosokawa family is one of three principal families who control the Japanese Faction. The three families are for the most part in agreement on most issues. Occasionally there are minor disagreements. The patriarchs of each family meet regularly to discuss business and security issues as well as whatever other special requests that may arise. Often times the patriarch is referred to as the daimyo of the family.

Starting Equipment: Katsu wears business attire; tan, navy or black cotton trousers, light colored shirt with or without a necktie, black leather and canvas combat boots (highly polished), Leatherman tool, bic lighter, M14 Nambu 8mm pistol with 50 rounds of ammo and belt holster, small nylon pack to include a camel back hydration system, taps for 8mm reloads (small tool used with a reloading kit to making bullets), leather wallet with identification and some money, and wakizashi (small sword).

Katsu Ota receives his Yori, Katana and Kabuto upon arrival at NHC as well as a bunk as the Nakamura headquarters. Nakamura also issues other weapons and equipment for soldiers of their company as needed. The Hosokawa family in conjunction with the other two families frequently charters their own freighters to retrieve special order items from earth as needed.

Transportation: The Nakamura soldiers either walk or ride on Dewbacks; a hardy domesticated beast used to pull carts or as mounts. They have a very thick (dense) hide and a powerful tail. The beast is an herbivore and can attain speeds of 35 - 45 MPH for short distances. They typically walk just faster than a man's walking pace. They can trot at around 10 or 12 MPH for a few miles. The beast weighs just under a ton and can carry heavy loads or a person with personal gear. This is a docile creature that will not harm anyone intentionally, but might act up if it feels threatened.



Personality and Background: Katsu Ota is a professional soldier. He is quiet and reticent. He is irritated by weakness and is prone to violent acts during the conduct of his duties as a soldier. He knows when to act and when to remain still.

Misc: Katsu Ota was born in Uruma, Japan overlooking Kinbu Bay and at the foot of Mt. Onna. He was raised with a traditional Japanese upbringing. He was taught that the good of the many, outweigh the good of the few; personal sacrifice is often if not frequently necessary for the community.

Katsu served as a member of the Special Boarding Unit (SBU), a Special operations unit of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces. While with the SBU, he attained the rank of Ittō Kaisō (Petty Officer 1st class - E-7). He is familiar with several different weapon systems used by teh Japanese military on earth, but none of those are apparently available to him at the moment. As a teenager, Katsu began training as a Kensei (Sword) and has studied Shōrin-ryū, an Okinawan martial artform since the age of four. He currently holds the rank of 3rd dan or Yudensha which is equivalent to a 3rd degree black belt.

Age: 32 (21 November 1979)
Ethnicity: Swedish
Nationality: Swedish

Physical Appearance:
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 215 Lbs.
Build: Lean, but muscular

Anton stands 6' 2" tall and weighs 215 Lbs. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. When he was in military service, he cut his hair short, but has since allowed both his hair and his beard to grow out. He can alter his appearance to suit the situation or the operation he is working on.

Significant Features: Full bushy beard, tattoo on left bicep depicting the Golden Eagle of the Swedish Paratroopers. Below the golden eagle is the following word: FALLSKÄRMJÄGARE (Paratrooper). On his right bicep is a tattoo of the Swedish Special Operations Group unit crest depicted below. He is also missing the pinkie finger off his left hand.



Work History: Anton Rapp was drafted into the Swedish Army after his 18th birthday deferred to the summer of 1997. He was eager with the expectation of joining the Army. He immediately joined the Fallskärmsjägarna (Parachute Rangers, FJS). He spent four years in the FJS combat unit and transferred to the Fallskärmsjägarskolan, the Parachute Ranger school teaching techniques and procedures to the new recruits. At age 24, in the spring of 2004, Anton transferred to the Särskilda Skyddsgruppen (Special Protection Group, SSG). The SSG is the Swedish equivalent to the British 22nd SAS Regiment or the American Delta; specializing in counter terrorism operations. Anton was deployed to Afghanistan in 2005 and Chad in 2008. He saw combat in both places. In 2011, the SSG was integrated with the Särskilda Inhämtningsgruppen (Special Reconnaissance Group, SIG) to form the Särskilda Operationsgruppen (Special Operations Group, SOG). In 2012, Anton Rapp left the Swedish SOG with the intention of working for the Division, an international organization designed as a clandestine international group whose sole purpose lay in undermining the Syndicate, an international crime organization that rose up from the ashes of the former Soviet Union.

Background Information: Anton grew up in Uppsala about 50 Km along the E4 north of Stockholm. His father was a professor of Agrarian Science at the Uppsala University and his mother cared for the house, Anton and his two sisters, Elsa and Klara. When Anton turned 30, his father died of a heart attack on his mother's birthday. That was just over two years ago. The death of his father coupled with the constant separation from his family through military service has left him somewhat estranged from his mother and sisters. He doesn't contact them much. In fact, he hasn't seen either of them since his father's funeral.

As a boy, Anton used to enjoy hunting with his father. This was one of the memories Anton has always savored from childhood. It was during these hunting trips that he really got to know his father. They bonded well during these trips and the boy learned a lot from the older Rapp.

While in the military, Anton studied the Swedish Army's version of Taekwondo and recently received his 1st degree black belt in the discipline. While in the SSG, Anton was wounded in action during a fight with Taliban in eastern Afghanistan. He lost his left pinkie finger during the encounter. Anton made it out of Chad uninjured even though he and his comrades were in several firefights during the EUFOR deployment.

The Ruler of Ali'tian empire, Andrastos Je'kal has banned the individual who receives much of the attention about the death of hundreds of civilians. There are damaged stone structures and rubble scattered throughout the grounds. All neighboring Elves have been forbidden to alter or remove any item from the Ruins. They are mandated to remain as a testament to the Viciousness of the humans.

Tristan Island - This is a mysterious island, uninhabited by any elves. This island is enveloped in a shroud of fog. No elf that has ever attempted to visit this island has returned. No one knows what magic inhabits this mysterious island. It is believed that a race of Drow Elves reside on this island practicing dark magic. This is merely a rumor and no other elves have ever actually seen the Drow. They are very reclusive; isolationists.

Oolarg Tribes of Mallik

Major Tribes
Mallik is divided into eight distinct tribal regions. Most of the tribes are semi-Nomadic in that they displace between two distinct sets of lodging depending on the time of year. They move to wherever their food source is. From late Spring to early Fall, they inhabit valley regions near bodies of water and engage in agrarian pursuits. They have semi-permanent living structures carved into the rock in different regions within their tribal Province, but move from place to place at various times of the year. Some Oolargers follow the herd for survival. In some regions they cultivate vegetable gardens and harvest their crops for sustenance to be stored up during colder months.

Oolarg military structure differs from the Elves, Dwarves and Humans. What may be referred to as a company in the Ali'tian military is called a century in Mallik. A soldier serving in a century is often times referred to as a centurion. There are ten centuries in a cohort with 50-70 soldiers (centurions) in each century. There are six cohorts in a Legion. Each Legion is named and numbered for the region/tribe they represent. Each Legion typically also has a cavalry cohort that fights and moves with it, but they may not come from the same province the Legion they support originates. The Cavalry cohort is organized into three 2-century squadrons and consists of roughly 360 troopers.

Barbarian styled units refers to the fact that they wear no common uniform and they do not organize in lines like the other races on Evolin. They lack discipline and may run in or out of a battle depending on their mood. As Barbarians, the Oolargers are prone to turn berserk and run in either direction; whatever the situation may cause them to do.

Kadari - The people who inhabit this northern region of Mallik are a hardy breed able to tolerate harsh climates and living conditions. The terrain is mountainous and many Oolarger live in caverns built into the mountains. They mine what scant precious metals they can find as well as Iron and Carbon for their forges. The Kadari hate the Dwarves to the north in the Faltan Mountains. They have been at war with them for centuries. Kadari also do not like the Shundi-seseri. If the Oolarg are not at war with the dwarves, the Kadari are at war with the Shundi.

The terrain in the Kadari region is primarily rocky in the north and open areas for agricultural pursuits in the south. The Kadari live in the southern areas from late spring to early fall and in the mountains during the winter. A few inactive volcanoes dot the landscape. None have been active in over three hundred years.

The Kadari live in a communal environment. Older men in the tribe are often called grandfather and old women, grandmother. They believe in the good of the tribe. Each tribe has a Sachem or tribal elder who makes decisions for the tribe. He attains his position either by appointment by his predecessor or by defeating the current Sachem in a hand to hand contest. If the challenger should fail in his fight for the Sachem, he is cast out of the tribe for a period of six months. At the end of this time, he is permitted to re-enter the tribe on good terms. If he should challenge the Sachem a second time and fail, he is put to death.

There are several animal species who reside in this region and they have adapted to their harsh environment. The brocci resembles a cross between a Mountain Goat and a Bison. They are very large and durable like the Bison, but possess the agility of the Mountain Goat complete with the curled Horns and broad shoulders. Brocci are used by the Kadari as beasts of burden. They pull carts and plowshares. They are also used as a food source. Brocci steaks can be leathery and tough to gnaw on. Often times the meat is boiled for several hours to make it tender enough to eat. It can also be dried and cured to make strips like leather an Oolarg will chew as a protein snack. Brocci are indigenous throughout Mallik.

The Kadari provide six cohorts of militia infantry for the common defense of the Oolarg. These are barbarian-styled units with a conglomeration of weapons including swords, spears, axes, polearms, bows and shields. The Kadari Legion numbers roughly 3600 in strength. Their cavalry cohort is derived from neighboring Villassi.

Villassi - The people who inhabit this northern region are also a hardy breed. The terrain is mountainous with many active volcanoes. There are low lands that run like a valley from the eastern border with the Kadari southwest across the region and into the Abrupti basin. The people inhabit caverns when they can, but often build temporary quarters out of sod or timbers. They live in the caves in the winter and farm the lowlands in the summer months. They also follow the herds of Bytygi as they migrate from northeast to southwest. The Villassi mine Iron and Carbon for their forges. The Villassi hate the Dwarves just as much as the Kadari. They have fought alongside the Kadari for just as long. The Villassi don't hate the Shundi-seseri, but won't interfere with the Kadari's war with them. The Villassi like to get along with the other Oolarger tribes. They have no grudges or long standing arguments with any of the other seven.

The Villassi live in a communal environment like the other tribes. Older men in the tribe are often called grandfather and old women, grandmother. They believe in the good of the tribe. Each tribe has a Sachem or tribal elder who makes decisions for the tribe. He attains his position either by appointment by his predecessor or by defeating the current Sachem in a hand to hand contest. If the challenger should fail in his fight for the Sachem, he is cast out of the tribe for a period of six months. At the end of this time, he is permitted to re-enter the tribe on good terms. If he should challenge the Sachem a second time and fail, he is put to death.

Creatures indigenous to the region include the brocci as well as the Bytygi and Fakaj. The Bytygi are an elegant, beautiful creature very similar to deer, but larger and with a longer neck and more pointed nose and a broad elegant antler system. The Bytygi are herbivores migrating east to west across Villassi, Albrupti and Cekakula provinces. Herds of Bytygi can grow in number to well over two thousand in numbers. Bytygi cannot be domesticated.

The Fakaj are a predatory creature with long fangs and a boar-like snout with tusks. They have a thick hide like a pig or rhinoceros. Their feet are hooven and proportionately smaller than their large torso. There torso resembles a wolf's and is covered in long hair. The Fakaj have a pack mentality with an Alpha Male and the occasional Omega. They feed off the migrating Bytygi and would not hesitate to attack Oolarg if the Fakaj feel that their den or hunting grounds are threatened.

Villassi have large populations of domesticated and wild horses providing cavalry cohorts to all of the eight tribal provinces of Mallik. The cavalry cohorts are armed with bows, lances, swords, shields and studded leather armor. The shield is a round wooden shield with a steel rounded hub and steel bands at the outer edge. Each shield is painted with wide stripes or circles of a color of choice of the user to make it his own.

Shundi-seseri - These are the most isolationist tribe of Mallik. They prefer to remain outside the affairs of the tribal council. They have one representative on the council, but the tribal Sachem retains the ability to deny any request from the tribal council. They prefer to remain independent of the remainder of the Oolarg. The Shundi-seseri are a mountain tribe.

The Shundi live in a communal environment like the other tribes. Older men in the tribe are often called grandfather and old women, grandmother. They believe in the good of the tribe. Each tribe has a Sachem or tribal elder who makes decisions for the group. He attains his position either by appointment by his predecessor or by defeating the current Sachem in a hand to hand contest. If the challenger should fail in his fight for the Sachem, he is cast out of the tribe for a period of six months. At the end of this time, he is permitted to re-enter the tribe on good terms. If he should challenge the Sachem a second time and fail, he is put to death.

Due to the elevated peaks of the Shundi-seseri, the animals are usually small in size like ferrets, foxes and badgers. Several of these animals are trapped for their pelts. None more so than the Koçi. Koçi pelts are quite valuable in other regions of Mallik and a few outsiders seek a smooth Koçi pelt to adorn their shoulders with.

Shundi-Seseri could field a Legion of troops for the unified cause if the Sachem decides to commit them as such. No Oolarg alive today remembers the last time Shundi-seseri supported the Tribal Council at Mt. Prishtina in Cekakula. Like the other tribes of Mallik, the Shundi warriors are barbarian-styled with no uniform weapons or armor. The common armor type is banded leather, studded leather or more often smooth leather.

Albrupti - Unlike the Villassi and Kadari, the Albrupti actually have permanent cities within which they dwell. They are not nomadic. Bardula is the capitol city of the Albrupti plains (Basin). It rests one day's march north of the Cana Mountains which hosts two active volcanoes; Dubra and Sejko. The people of the Albrupti are agrarian by nature and are very interested in the politics of the Oolarg. They are influential with the Tribal council at Mt. Prishtina. The people tend to be more positive and open minded in Albrupti. They tend to be more willing to accept outsiders, but still hate the Dwarves.

The Albrupti live in a communal environment like the other tribes. Older men in the tribe are often called grandfather and old women, grandmother. They believe in the good of the tribe. Each tribe has a Sachem or tribal elder who makes decisions for the group. He attains his position either by appointment by his predecessor or by defeating the current Sachem in a hand to hand contest. If the challenger should fail in his fight for the Sachem, he is cast out of the tribe for a period of six months. At the end of this time, he is permitted to re-enter the tribe on good terms. If he should challenge the Sachem a second time and fail, he is put to death.

Brocci, Bytygi and Fakaj all inhabit the Albrupti province. The people hunt the Bytygi during their migrationary period. The Albrupti also fish in the channel north of their island. This economic act, places them in conflict with the Dwarves in a seemingly daily basis.

The Albrupti provide 12 cohorts of barbarian styled Infantry, organized into two Legions complete with Villassi cavalry cohorts. The 1st and 2nd Legions are ready to march at a moment's notice.

Amur - These are a peaceful people. Their ideology is much more liberal than the rest of the Oolarg. They desire peace with the rest of the world. They pray to the Gods for friendships with the Humans, Elves and the Dwarves. They look upon the mighty Dragons who inhabit the islands west of their own not as pets to be conquered but as glorious beasts to be worshipped and respected. They believe the Dragon to be a superior beast to the Oolarg with far superior intelligence. They silently despise the attitude of malaise directed against the dragons and the Dwarves by the northern tribes. They are represented at Mt. Prishtina, but often neglect the edicts from Cekakula. The Amur perceive the council decisions as optional; they feel no obligation to listen to the Tribal council at Mt. Prishtina.

The Amur are semi-nomadic like most Oolarg and engage more frequently in agrarian pursuits due to the vast stretches of wide open countryside. They utilize the brocci extensively for plowing fields and pulling carts and wagons. The brocci are an integral part of the Amur culture. instead of having semi-permanent lodgings in the mountains, they use temporary lodgings, similar to native American Teepees which are disassembled and dragged to their new homes where they are erected for use there.

The Amur live in a communal environment like the other tribes. Older men in the tribe are often called grandfather and old women, grandmother. They believe in the good of the tribe. Each tribe has a Sachem or tribal elder who makes decisions for the group. He attains his position either by appointment by his predecessor or by defeating the current Sachem in a hand to hand contest. If the challenger should fail in his fight for the Sachem, he is cast out of the tribe for a period of six months. At the end of this time, he is permitted to re-enter the tribe on good terms. If he should challenge the Sachem a second time and fail, he is put to death.

Hunting, trapping and fishing are avid pursuits with small fishing craft employed along the southern coast of Mallik. A dugout or hide and stick crafted canoe are used in the channel south of the island.

There are ruins of a once mighty castle in the southern plains of Amur. The ruins are known as Bajhami Fortress. Most of the castle is covered in earth, grass and other plants. Legend has it that the Oolarg fought a last stand battle at this location and the tribes were scattered. Their enemy left the land and never returned. The eight tribes dispersed, leaving the ruins of their great city in Amur. Rumors are that the grounds are haunted by disturbed spirits.

The Amur can field four cohorts of Barbarian Infantry, relying on Villassi cavalry cohort to complete the Legion. They have the population, but choose not to provide it unless they themselves feel threatened. They actually are hostile toward Nokai and enjoy and on again/off again war with this neighboring tribe.

Nokai - The Nokai are split into three tribal groupings. The Douest-Nokai live in the western regions bordering the Taufich lands. The Osterlings inhabit the lands closer to Amur and have to deal with their arrogance on a daily basis. Often times the Amur encroach on Nokai lands. The Douest are forced to fight with these self proclaimed Peaceful bastards. The Sudling tribes live in the mountains at the southern most extreme of the Mallik Island. They prefer to be left alone, but often times find themselves fighting against the Amur alongside their Osterling brothers.

The Nokai live in a communal environment like the other tribes. Older men in the tribe are often called grandfather and old women, grandmother. They believe in the good of the tribe. Each tribe has a Sachem or tribal elder who makes decisions for the group. He attains his position either by appointment by his predecessor or by defeating the current Sachem in a hand to hand contest. If the challenger should fail in his fight for the Sachem, he is cast out of the tribe for a period of six months. At the end of this time, he is permitted to re-enter the tribe on good terms. If he should challenge the Sachem a second time and fail, he is put to death. Each subordinate grouping of tribes has an independent representative at Mt. Prishtina in Cekakula.

The same animals mentioned in other descriptions inhabit this region as well. The Sudlings fish the channel between Mallik and the South. The climate here is much warmer than in the north. An occasional observer, might believe that clothing was optional for the Sudling tribes they come in contact with.

The Nokai Legion is composed to two cohorts of Douest-Nokai, two cohorts of Osterlings and two cohorts of Sudlinger. They Nokai are more than willing to provide their Legion to the greater good of the Mallik.

Cekakula - (Pr: Chek-ah-cool-ah)This is the seat of the Oolarg people. The "state" government as you may want exists here, even though the the tribal policy is more of a confederation than a republic. The tribal regions generally have the louder voice. More often than not the meetings in the volcano known as Mount Prishtina are filled with arguing and fighting. The eight tribes do not get along and as you are well aware, a few of them only send a representative to see what is going on in the larger community. They feel no compulsion to do what the larger community wants to do.

The Cekakula are a proud race of people. They are the plains tribe of Mallik, living off the land. Their food sources are agricultural, seafood and Bytygi. The Cekakula migrate between the Albrupti basin which ends in their lands and the northern coast where they employ small fishing craft to farm the channel between Cekakula and the Dwarves whom they hate vehemently.

The Cekakula live in a communal environment like the other tribes. Older men in the tribe are often called grandfather and old women, grandmother. They believe in the good of the tribe. Each tribe has a Sachem or tribal elder who makes decisions for the group. He attains his position either by appointment by his predecessor or by defeating the current Sachem in a hand to hand contest. If the challenger should fail in his fight for the Sachem, he is cast out of the tribe for a period of six months. At the end of this time, he is permitted to re-enter the tribe on good terms. If he should challenge the Sachem a second time and fail, he is put to death. Each subordinate grouping of tribes has an independent representative at Mt. Prishtina in Cekakula.

The Cekakula are a warrior race of Oolarg who believe it is better to die for their people than tuck their tail between their legs and run from a fight. Self sacrifice for the greater good is a noble outcome and brings honor among the clan.

The Cekakula provide 12 cohorts of barbarian styled Infantry, organized into two Legions complete with Villassi cavalry cohorts. The 1st and 2nd Legions are ready to march at a moment's notice.

Taufich - (pr: Tow - feek) The Taufich are a mountain tribe like the Shundi, but the Taufich prefer to know what is going on with Oolarger politics. They don't always agree with the tribal council and have had many wars with the Cekakula and a few with the Douest-Nokai. The Taufich live in mountain caves and live off the animals. They also fish in the seas to the west of the island.

The Taufich live in a communal environment like the other tribes. Older men in the tribe are often called grandfather and old women, grandmother. They believe in the good of the tribe. Each tribe has a Sachem or tribal elder who makes decisions for the group. He attains his position either by appointment by his predecessor or by defeating the current Sachem in a hand to hand contest. If the challenger should fail in his fight for the Sachem, he is cast out of the tribe for a period of six months. At the end of this time, he is permitted to re-enter the tribe on good terms. If he should challenge the Sachem a second time and fail, he is put to death.

Due to the elevated peaks of the Taufich region, the animals are small in size like ferrets, foxes and badgers. Several of these animals are trapped for their pelts like the Koçi. The other animals found in Mallik are also found in Taufich. The Bytygi are smaller than the species that inhabit the Albrupti basin.

The Taufich provides a Legion of barbarian styled centurians for the unified Oolarger cause. Like the other tribes of Mallik, the Taufich warriors are barbarian-styled with no uniform weapons or armor. The common armor type is banded leather, studded leather or more often smooth leather.

Indigenous Creatures to Mallik
The brocci resembles a cross between a Mountain Goat and a Bison. They are very large and durable like the Bison, but possess the agility of the Mountain Goat complete with the curled Horns and broad shoulders. Brocci are used by the Kadari as beasts of burden. They pull carts and plowshares. They are also used as a food source. Brocci steaks can be leathery and tough to gnaw on. Often times the meat is boiled for several hours to make it tender enough to eat. It can also be dried and cured to make strips like leather an Oolarg will chew as a protein snack. Brocci are indigenous throughout Mallik.

The Bytygi are an elegant, beautiful creature very similar to deer, but larger and with a longer neck and more pointed nose and a broad elegant antler system. The Bytygi are herbivores migrating east to west across Villassi, Albrupti and Cekakula provinces. Herds of Bytygi can grow in number to well over two thousand in numbers. Bytygi cannot be domesticated.

The Fakaj are a predatory creature with long fangs and a boar-like snout with tusks. They have a thick hide like a pig or rhinoceros. Their feet are hooven and proportionately smaller than their large torso. There torso resembles a wolf's and is covered in long hair. The Fakaj have a pack mentality with an Alpha Male and the occasional Omega. They feed off the migrating Bytygi and would not hesitate to attack Oolarg if the Fakaj feel that their den or hunting grounds are threatened.

Koçi are a small omniverous animal inhabiting the mountainous regions of Mallik. They are similar in size to a Mink or a Ferret with variety of color schemes. In most regions of Mallik, their hides are a dark reddish hue. In the mountains of the Shundi-seseri region, you can find many different colored Koçi. You will find pink, dark red, cheetah pattern, tiger stripes, fawn, brown, black and black and white. The variety of the small creature's colors makes their pelts sought after by many would be traders. Although the Shundi-seseri do not take kindly to intruders, including other Oolarger. The pelts are quite valuable in other regions of Mallik and a few outsiders seek a smooth Koçi pelt to adorn their shoulders with.

Race: Oolarger of the Cekakula clan
Kingdom: Oolarger
Age: 160 (Appears 32)
Sex: Male
Physical Apperance: Bodzil stands 6'7" tall and weighs just under 300 Lbs. He is solid like rock with bulging muscles. As a Cekakula, he wears studded leather armor with steel spaulders. Bodzil has pale skin like all Oolarger. His has a slight green tint to it as northern Cekakulan warriors all do. his black hair is short and matted. He wears a beard that shadows his neck and chin. It is shaven from his cheeks, front of chin and around the lips. The hair gives the appearance of a lion's mane. His nose, although prominent is smooshed into his face enhancing his otherwsie intimidating appearance.
Picture:


Character Bio:
Bodzil which translates from his native language meaning, "He is strong", is a hero of the people. The title "Hero" means that he has displayed leadership as well as fighting ability and recognized by the tribal council as someone worthy of leading war parties.

Bodzil is the leader of the "Dragon Riders of Mallik" which is composed of the social elite of the Northern Oolarg tribes (Cekakula, Albrupti, Taufich and Kadari). To be placed in this position is one Bodzil does not take lightly. He is proud of his posting and truly believes he deserves this post more than any other. It is Oolarg tradition that any warrior who feels worthy may challenge the Hero in open combat. If the challenger should defeat the Hero in open battle and the existing leader admits defeat, then the challenger can replace him as Hero of the people. But only after the Tribal council has discussed this and conveyed their blessing upon the challenger. This is how Bodzil Foxe became Hero of the people and leader of the "Dragon Riders of Mallik".

Bodzil has an ingrained hatred of the Dwarves. No dwarf deserves to breathe air. They all should be planted six feet underground. If the tribal council would permit him, Bodzil would personally see to it that all dwarves are committed to the hereafter. They are definitely wasting oxygen in his opinion.

Bodzil is hot-headed, a fearsome warrior, passionate about the Oolargers and is just as knowledgeable of agrarian pursuits as he is about armed and unarmed combat. Bodzil's weakness is his love for Meda Yazzie. He would go to the ends EVOLIN for her. Meda Yazzie is the daughter of the Cekakula Representative to the Tribal Council. She is a fiercely indpendent young woman and feels no compulsion to take up with an Oolarger male. It is her desire to become a member of the Tribal council one day. No woman has ever achieved this status. She is just as hot headed as Bodzil.

[Gunther]

Name: Mars Anthony Edward Lokken (Anthony)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Anthony Lokken stands 5'9" tall and weighs 155 Lbs. He has a sallow complexion, very thin and frail. He wears long black greasy hair and has hazel-green eyes. His nose is crooked and pointy. Anthony Lokken usually wears a white under-tunic, dark green woolen vest, dark colored trousers, knee-high black leather boots and a black hooded cloak with a dark green satin lining.



History: Herod Lokken, Duke of Norfall has five sons. The first four are hearty young men, physically fit with fortuitous spirit making their father proud. The fifth son is frail and sallow in appearance. He was named in honor of the deity Mars, implying that the boy would one day develop into a stalwart warrior worthy of the Lokken family name. The Lokken family is also the opposition family to the current emperor of Alethea. Herod Lokken is also the emperor's staunchest supporter. He would cut down any traitor to his liege.

Young Mars could not live up to his father's expectations, a sickly boy often shunned by his father for his physically diminutive stature. Whereas the boy's brothers all stood in excess of six feet, the shortest of who held no fewer than four inches over the youngest Lokken boy. Mars was left out of various family activities, but due to his noble birth was granted the title of Seventh Earl of Fenwick. It brought no political power. The village of Fenwick numbered fewer than 1000 residents. As Earl of Fenwick, Mars is entitled to collect taxes from its inhabitants. He attempted to collect taxes when he was 16 years of age. He received a few gold bits for his efforts, smiled meekly and went home. The activity made him very uncomfortable. He has not returned.

As a teenager, Mars learned to ride a horse and loved the feeling of riding, free and independent of others. He also enjoys reading and writing. His favorite subject to read is magic. Since non-magical authors wrote most of the material on this subject, all of what he knows is speculative. Mars has been able to make logical sense of the writings in the physical world and has grown to accept them as truths. When Mars is not sleeping, eating or enduring some "forced fun" at his father's behest, he has his nose firmly planted between the pages of a book about Magic. He also carries a 12" wooden stick he claims is his magic wand. The stick has been lacquered and is kept shiny and polished.

Mars Anthony Edward Lokken hates his first name. He refers to himself as Anthony. He detests the name and everything that it stands for. Only his family call him by the name, Mars. He tells all others outside the family palace, that his name is Anthony.

Due to his curiosity with all things to do with magic, Mars Anthony admires Sahayle the Victorious. He is the one person Anthony looks up to with respect. He is the one person, whose wisdom he would accept as word of law. He respects the word of the emperor because the emperor's word is backed by force; a strength Anthony is ill prepared to contend with. Anthony repeatedly queried his mother about an apprenticeship with Sahayle the Victorious. Through political wrangling by his father, Anthony, the Seventh Earl of Fenwick has been granted his desire.

Personality: Anthony is quiet, introverted, intelligent, and keeps to himself. He prefers not to be in the company of others and becomes uncomfortable if someone approaches him. Frankly, Anthony does not care about others leaving him remorseless and selfish. He is comfortable approaching others, but somehow feels threatened or suspicious by those who approach him. Who would want to be his friend? There must be some ill in the personality of the person who chooses to befriend Anthony Lokken. If Anthony should feel slighted in some way, he can be vindictive, vengeful, bitter, pompous, and two-faced. He will smile, uttering flowery words to appease those whom he believes he needs to align himself with in order to get whatever he wants. He has always retained good favor with his mother; the one ally he has in this cruel dark world. Physical strength is a quality Anthony looks condescending upon. It is not a quality he would admire.

Non-magical skills, talents and/or strengths: Horse riding, book reading, calligraphy and singing (an activity he does not do publicly).

Weaknesses/fears: Anthony is physically weak, possessing immense fear of embarrassment or shame. Due to his obvious fragility, Anthony runs from a fight. He avoids physical pain at all costs.

What they think about magic: Anthony can be arrogant about his knowledge of magic. He believes he knows all there is to know about magic as he had read every book on the subject he could get his hands on. However, he has been unable to lay his hands on books of actual worth on the subject. In reality, he is the master of the speculative art of the subject. His arrogance is pure and utter foolishness. He remains unaware that his knowledge of the subject is ill conceived and may lead him down a precarious road. He desires more than anything to confirm or deny what he knows as an apprentice of Sahayle the Victorious as well as a full and complete understanding of the arcane arts.

Other character notes: Mars Anthony Edward Lokken would one day love to see his family back in power at the seat of the throne in Alethea. This is a notion he keeps personal. He has told no one.

Norfall is the fifth largest city in Alethea. It is a walled city surrounding a keep and a commercial district as well as a wealthy residential neighborhood. The walls are thirty feet high and twenty feet thick. They surround roughly four square miles of terrain where you will find a commercial district, a residential district for a few of the more well off business class, the Keep, which is the home of the Lokken family known as Fastborg Palads. There are also military barracks carved into the walls at various outposts along the eight mile wall. An outer city has grown up over the years where lower and middle class homes are found including a much larger commercial district than the one found inside the walled portion of the city.

Fastborg Palads is a palatial estate with more than 15,000 square feet of living space including a banquet hall, library and chapel. The family's living quarters are on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Anthony prefers his room on the 3rd floor to distance himself from his family.

Anthony's mother is tallish at 5' 10" and very thin like Anthony. She is a beautiful woman with Scandinavian features, long black hair. She is also Anthony's protector. He is her champion in her eyes. She is also a very docile and submissive woman. She is the only person in Anthony's family he truly cares for.

When the wagon arrives to take Anthony away, his father, the Duke Herod Lokken of Norfall will be present along with Lady Katerina (mother) and one of his brothers, Günter Lokken who stands 6' 5" tall and weighs 255 Lbs. Günter Lokken is 22 years old (3rd son) and is the 9th Earl of Rockingham. Fenwick and Rockingham are two of eight fiefs in the Norfall region. Each son is an Earl of five of those ten fiefs. Fenwick is notably the smallest of the ten fiefs.

There is a 5000 square foot manor designed in a Swedish Tudor style resting on a hill overlooking the village of Fenwick. The manor is fully staffed and technically belongs to Mars Anthony Edward Lokken. He prefers to remain in the company of Lady Katerina and the library at Fastborg Palads. He has visited his Manor and Fenwick. He may return there one day.

Name: Benjamin Giguere
Nick: "Ben" or "Gigger"
Gender: Male
Age: 28

Appearance: Ben is not handsome. He stands 5' 9" tall and weighs 170 Lbs. His muscles are taut from years of working a farm or pounding spikes on the railroad. He has steel gray eyes and short brown hair which is usually dirty. His fingernails are normally black and/or filled with grease. Gigger normally wears blue dickies, solid colored T-shirts and Red Wing steel toed boots. He chews tobacco frequently and you might find traces of partially chewed tobacco in his chin stubble or drippings on his T-shirt.

Bio: Ben Giguere was born and raised in Bellows Falls, Vermont, not far from the Connecticut River. His father was an avid Red Sox fan and would take young Benjamin to the country store in North Walpole, New Hampshire just to get a glimpse of "Pudge", Carlton Fisk after his retirement from the White Sox in 1993.

Ben's father, Paul owned a farm in the hills south of Bellows Falls not far from the Railroad tracks and the river. Farming in Vermont is difficult; you go to work before the sun comes up and you finish long after the sun goes down. Paul Giguere was disciplined about the farm and kept at it all day long. When Ben was not in school, doing homework or sleeping, he was helping his old man on the farm.

Often times while out harrowing a field, bailing hay or harvesting field corn, Paul would tell his son that he should look into working for the Central Vermont Railroad which ran along the eastern edge of their property. Ben rarely took his father's suggestions seriously, but tended to his work regardless. When Ben graduated from Bellows Falls Union High School, he never looked back. He did play Defensive Back for The Terriers and outfield on the baseball team, but never good enough to go to College. Nor were his grades all that impressive; lucky to have all Cs.

He went to work for his father full time after school, but found being around dad all day to be irritating; cramping his style. He quietly drove down to the railroad office for the Green Mountain Railway located in North Walpole to inquire about employment. He was told they were not hiring, but that he should check with the New England Central in St. Albans, VT. He was given a phone number to call.

Following a two week hiring process, Ben hired onto the New England Central Railroad, formerly the Central Vermont in 2002. He took a job working as a Track Maintenance Technician. This meant he would have to inspect portions of the rail that ran from the Canadian border north of St. Albans, south to the Massachusetts border at Vernon, VT. He learned the job working with an experienced trackman. He and three other rode in the same "High railer" inspecting track and replacing 100 pound and 130 Pound rail where it was needed. Every year they also engaged in replacing the large wooden ties, soaked in creosote. It was usually, the hottest days of the summer when they were working the tie job.

Paul Giguere and his sons, Benjamin and Preston who was two years younger than Ben looked forward to Deer hunting season each year in late November and early December. The nice thing about Vermont is they have a Rifle Season. Unfortunately, their Massachusetts neighbors to the south only have shotgun season. This tends to send a flock of clueless flatlanders north into the hills of Vermont to get lost. There were more than a few times when Ben and his father and brother would run across a flatlander winded somewhere west of Windsor Mountain searching for the way out of the woods. They would offer their assistance and help the godforsaken clueless bastards out, and then laugh at them behind their backs later on. It made for some funny stories.

His favorite hunting rifle was a Marlin .30-.30 lever action rifle. His dad used a Marlin 336C in .35 cal. and his brother, Preston used a Remington .30-06. All three rifles mounted a 7x50 scope.

After the Russians invaded, things did not go well for Ben. His parents, Paul Giguere and wife Lauren were killed from an automobile accident on Interstate 91. The death of his parents devastated Ben. He viewed the Russian invasion with hatred. Although, the invasion did not directly cause his parent's death, it did facilitate it. With the presence of Russians in Bellows Falls, Ben took to the hills in search of a rebellion force he had heard about one day at work. He put together his standard hunting kit along with a few extra supplies. He also took his 26 year old brother, Preston with him.

Psychological Profile: Ben never cared for politics, as was his attitude toward school in general. He focused on his work and his hobbies. He enjoyed working, whether it be farming or track maintenance and he loved hunting. Ben's father, Paul was firm while raising his two sons, but fair. He was never too hard on them, but didn't let them slide by either. He made them work for everything they achieved and this has shown through in their personalities. Both boys are quiet and polite. They are hard to rattle.

Ben really doesn't have an opinion of the current situation other than he knows the Soviet invasion is bad. He would like to help return Vermont and the US back to the way it used to be. He is willing to fight to bring back the USA.

This is the equivalent of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company. I used WH40K terms. This company provides Command, Control, Communications, Combat Support and Logistical Support to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions Only. This Organization is not intended for either of the other two Battalions in the Regiment.

The Tactical Command Post or more informally known as the "Jump TOC" is where the Battalion Commander is found. He and the Battalion Operations Officer observe the battle as it evolves on the front lines where the rubber meets the road. They control the activities of their company commanders; telling them to defend or attack via radio communications or in person. They move about the battlefield in the same APC that the line platoons use. You may also find a Fire Support Vehicle (Chimera APC) tagging along to provide indirect fires when needed. If the unit has Air Assets available, there may also be a 4th tracked vehicle that serves as the Forward Air Controller (FAC) for any Close Air Support missions needed. The Air Liaison Officer rides in this 4th track and works for the Air Arm of the military.

The Recon Platoon is light and highly mobile. They are quick and have high firepower, but no armor. They are tasked with collecting information on the enemy situation on the battlefield. They are not intended to go toe to toe with combat units; just look for them and report to higher. The Recon Platoon works for the Battalion Intelligence Officer. All of their reports go to the Battalion Intell Officer at the TOC while the Battallion Intelligence Collection Coordinator monitors this traffic and updates the Battalion Commander in the Jump TOC when appropriate.

The Heavy Mortar Platoon will set up one third of their Maximum range behind friendly units. One Company will receive Priority of fires for the Mortar platoon and will always trump other companies if a conflict should arise. The four guns will all fire at the same target in a 50x200 meter sheath, firing 3-5 rounds per fire mission. All calls for fire come in from either a platoon Leader, Company Commander, the Battalion Commander or a Forward Observer. The Fire Direction Center (FDC) receives these calls for fire and sends weapons data to the guns. The gunner and ammo bearer prep the gun tubes by manipulating the sites and the rounds in order to get the proper deflection, elevation and charge (Propellant) for the weapon system. Once all guns are up, the #2 gun (2nd from left), which is the base gun fires one spotting round. As adjustments are made, each gun on the line makes the same adjustments. Only the base gun fires until the call, "Fire For Effect!" comes into the FDC. Then all four guns hang 3-5 mortar rounds, one after another. The Observer should send the FDC a Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) which tells the mortar platoon if they hit the target or not or whether they need to fire the mission again.

The Medical Platoon has three sections, the Battalion Aid Station, the Evacuation Section and the Line section. The Line medics are attached to the Infantry platoons, one per platoon. One Evacuation Ambulance is deployed with each company to provide immediate extraction of wounded from the front lines. The tracked ambulances should follow the company and remain one terrain feature away so as not to expose itself to hostile fire. When a soldier is injured, the 1st responder is the line medic. He then calls the ambulance forward which moves the patient to the Battalion Aid Station (BAS) in the Combat Trains. If the patient is in such unstable condition that the Battalion surgeon can't help him, he is then evacuated to the Regimental Medical Company (5th Battalion) in the Regimental Support Area (RSA).

Each Line Company has a contact team which consists of 8 mechanics in an APC. If they can repair a vehicle on the front, they will do so and send it back into the line. The Maint Contact Team travels with the Medical tracked ambulance that follows each company. Any vehicle that requires regularly scheduled services is completed by the Service section in the Field Trains. The POL Fuel section is located in the Field Trains and provides Fuel to the front line vehicles as needed. The POL truck that carries oil and grease is located in the Field Trains.

The 1st Battalion has one Shock Armor company, the 2nd Battalion has two armor companies and the 3rd Battalion has two armor companies. The shock Armor companies are intended to provide Shock and Awe to the Regiment. They are the teeth to the Regiment's bite. You can task organize subordinate units in such a way that allows one armor platoon to accompany each rifle company if needed, but it is recommended that you task organize the battalions based on the tactical situation. This organization allows for flexibility in the organization of a defense or an attack.

This company has four armor platoons with five tanks in each platoon. Including the commander and Commissar's tanks, this company has 22 Main Battle Tanks available.

This is the organization of the mechanized Infantry Company for the 1st - 3rd Battalions of the regiment. Like the armor company, the Infantry company has two tracked vehicles occupied by the company commander and commissar. They do not carry dismount infantry, but use the vehicle to keep up with the line platoons and observe their actions. They add their firepower to a platoon that may need it. When the company has a Fire Support Team (FIST) team attached, the accompany fire support personnel may ride in the Commander or Commissar's track.

There are three platoons in the company. You may task organize your companies so that you have one or two armor platoons in a company team or give up an infantry platoon to the armor company. This will be situationally dependent.

[Gunther]

Name: Jackson Steel
Nick: "Jack", "Jacko", "Jackal" or "Cold Steel"

Superhero Alias: Iceman

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Appearance: Jackson Steele stands 6' tall and weighs 188 Lbs. He is in decent shape as he works out when he has time and is in good health at the moment. Jackson suffers from Albinism, a skin pigment affliction that explains his very pale complexion and white hair. The illness also insures his eyes are a very light blue color. Due to his condition, Jackson wears sunglasses all the time, even when in doors. Since Jackson is partial to the color red, he has stitched a thin red piping into his X-men uniform.





Personality: Jackson is an intelligent young man, polite and considerate of others. He is positive and upbeat. He tends to quiet, conservative and uninterfering of other people's activities. Jackson will not speak to someone unless they have spoken to him first. He tends to be reactionary when it comes to interpersonal relationships. The knowledge that he may die from Cancer any year and that his mortality is not as long as everyone else's weighs heavy on his mind, but he retains a buoyant flair about his personality. Once he warms up to someone, he has a warm and friendly smile. He is the type of person who appears to be genuinely concerned for others.

Power and other abilities: Jackson is able to shoot water from his extended hands as if his arms were fire hoses. He can vary the temperature of the water to turn it to ice if need be. He can also alter the temperature around him within a 30 - 80 foot radius of his location. Lastly, he can protect everyone within 30 - 80 feet of his position from feeling the effects of cold temperatures. This protection has no defense against intense heat. If Jackson is an arid environment, he cannot shoot water from his fingertips. There must be water in the air or a nearby source for this ability to work. The water comes out only if he wills it. Otherwise, he is like a normal fair haired and fair-skinned human. Jackson himself is immune to any harmful effects of extreme cold weather. Heat, sunlight and fire on the other hand can be detrimental.

The range of Jackson's protection depends on his health. He suffers from skin cancer, but the illness is currently in remission. When the cancer takes over his body, he becomes weak and is unable to perform any of his abilities. Doctors have tried chemotherapy and minor invasive surgeries, which have not worked. Generally, within six to eight months after a procedure, the cancerous tissue will return. When the cancer weakens him, the range of Jackson's frost protection becomes lessened or closer to the 30-foot point. When he is in good health, he can expand his abilities to 80 feet. Increased exposure to the sun increases his chances of the cancer coming out of remission. He must keep his skin covered with clothing and apply SPF 50+ sunscreen to his face and hands in order to go out of doors.

Backstory: Jackson Steel was born and raised in Westwood, MA. He attended parochial school at St. Catherine's of Sienna in Norwood through Grade 5, St. Sebastian's Academy in Needham from grades 6 - 8 and Xavarian Brothers High School from grades 9 - 12. Jackson also holds a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Boston College and a Master's degree in Molecular Biology from Tufts University. He uses his skills to understand both his immunity to cold and his cancer. While in middle and high school, Jackson learned to play the violin and enjoys performing classical violin pieces.

Jackson's father inherited his father's and grandfather's wealth. He was a principal shareholder in several Health Care facilities in the greater Boston area. He served as Chairman of the board of trustees for Partner's healthcare. Jackson's mother works as a television reporter for Channel 5 WCVB News in Needham, MA.

Jackson was born at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in 1983. Upon birth, he was immediately diagnosed with Albinism, a rare skin pigmentation disorder that determined he would have white hair and very light blue eyes for the rest of his life. This also left him mildly photophobic and sensitive to the UV rays of the sun. He must wear sunscreen and be protected from the sun's deadly rays at all times.

Naturally, it isn't always possible to keep a child protected especially one is curious about the world and wants to get outside to play with friends. He was diagnosed with skin cancer at age 12 and has undergone a battery of tests and procedures to cure him of his ailments ever since. Currently his cancer is in remission and he is enjoying a good health moment.

When Jackson was six years old, his mother noticed her son playing in the backyard on their swing set. There was more than three feet of snow on the ground and the thermometer read 20 degrees Fahrenheit. It is common to allow a child to play outside in the wintertime. Like most parents, Jackson's mother bundled him up in his snowsuit, boots, wool hat and mittens. When his mother looked out this one day in January of 1990, she noticed her son playing on the swings wearing a pair of sweats, a short-sleeved shirt and his boots.

Fearful that her son would catch a cold, she ran outside and yelled for him to come inside. When she touched his arm, she felt that it was warm instead of the cool temperature you would normally feel on someone's skin who has been exposed to sub freezing temperatures for at least an hour. Her mother thought it odd and kept an open mind. She brought him inside and kept an eye on him for the next several years.

During his elementary school years at St. Catherine's, Jackson's mother observed his ability to form ice from a glass of water. Jackson was just learning about his abilities at this same time. Slowly over time, the abilities detailed above came out when he played with his friends. Doctors checked him over and ran many tests to understand how he was able to manipulate the temperature in his immediate surroundings or turn water into ice. The doctors were continually baffled and let it go as a fluke. In fact, it was during these tests at the age of 12 that they detected the skin cancer.
