The Red Coat Mercenary Company (RCM) Formed just over ten years ago by a former Guard Captain, the Red Coat Mercenary Company is made up of former soldiers who decide that the money is just not good enough. Priding itself on good pay, lots of loot and being incredibly reliable and disciplined. Only a small band were selected to act as protection for the new colony. With so little known about the new world the price was good however the risk was so high that it was not viable to take the entire contract. Allowing for other mercenaries to be present. Uniform of the RCM:

Name: Hirion Aldalithe Race: Half-Elf Age: 24 Sex: Male Appearance: Profession: Engineer Social Ranking: Head Engineer Talents: A crack engineer and even better gunsmith, his skill lay in building and innovation. He is also a large proponent of lighter-than-air travel. Personality: Cunning, clever, and daring. Hirion is able to think is way out of anything and often comes up with plans to get materials he needs. However, this is balanced with caring and selflessness, his work is often used to better help others and try to prevent needless death. Recent history: Hirion was until recently a thriving inventor however after an incident where one of his latest inventions caused great embarrassment to a King he fled. He would drift for awhile making watches and guns until he decided he needed a fresh start. Contacting the colonial expedition he showed them his credentials and was quickly excepted in to the crew.

Name: Tristan III of house Trivillan Race: Human Age: 26 Sex: Male Appearance: Slim build, but with the muscles expected of one trained in swordsmanship. 5'6 feet tall. Profession: Prince/Ambassador Social Ranking: Higher than a villager, but despite his skills with a sword and the fact that he's mostly there as an envoy, people might look at him as a 'spoiled brat' because of his royal background. Talents: Sword fighting and knowing which utensil to use when at fancy dinners. Personality: Positive, loyal and outgoing, Tristan could easily be compared to a golden retriever. He always tries to give everyone – and everything - the chance to prove that there's some good in each living being. Though seemingly naive, he often intentionally exaggerate those traits. He's noticed that people are often much easier to handle when they think he's stupid and gullible. Recent history: With five elder siblings all doing something productive with their lives, Tristan was pleased when his lord father informed him that he was to be sent as an ambassador to the new colony, despite the dangers this would surely put him in.

Name: Christopher "Chris" Din Race: Human Age: 29 Sex: Male Appearance: Athletic build, standing at 5'9 at 150 lbs. Profession: Explorer Social Ranking: Lower than a Mercenary, but still higher than a villager. Probably looked down upon by the mercs, possibly percieved as weak, or foolish to want to explore the new world. Talents: Survival Skills. Strong instinct. Strong sense of direction. Has the many skills necessary to traverse a diverse land. Personality: Very adventurous, and can be a little rash, but not without credit. Chris can usually pull off whatever otherwise 'crazy' claim he makes. Not afraid of anything, or anyone, and jumps at the chance to see or experience something new. Otherwise, Chris is a pleasant, and very interesting man to speak to. He seems easily excitable, but keeps a cool head through most situations. Recent history: Chris spent his youth travelling with his merchant father, and has spent time in almost all the provinces and lands of Maltha. Has spent most of his adult life (17-present) travelling and exploring the wilderness of Maltha. When he heard about the chance to see what no man had seen before, he jumped at the chance for adventure.

Just adding this so everyone knows the Governor General. Name: Nikolaas Luuk der Varnsfeld Race: Human Age: 52 Sex: Male Appearance: Nikolaas is a gaunt man, whose complexion has paled in recent years from the stress of his work. He is tall and lanky, and often equated to a corpse by some colonists. Profession: Governor General Social Ranking: As Governor General, Nikolaas is the sole leader of New Bayheath, and is in charge of all administrative affairs. He pays the mercenaries, relays messages to Bresiroth, and maintains order in the colony. In an effort to prevent coups, Nikolaas is followed at all times by five escorts who are tasked with keeping him in power. Talents: Nikolaas is a skilled administrator, and no stranger to the sort of work that occupies him today. Additionally, because he is required to lead his men into combat should it be required, Nikolaas is adept with a sword and quite talented with a bow. Personality: While Nikolaas is cordial and humble, he is not naive and can be authoritative when need be.
