Name: Thomas Rivera Nicknames: Role: The Hitter Gender: Male Age: 40 Appearance: http://stuffpoint.com/arrow/image/216480-arrow-manu-bennett-slade-wilson.jpg Personality: Rivera is angry all the time. His temper is hot and extremely dangerous. Fortunately, he is also a master of control. Although he can be prodded to frustration and annoyance fairly easily, it takes a concerted effort to drive him to all out anger. Once that happens, all hell breaks loose. Early on, Rivera learned to channel his massive temper into controlled, directed bursts of violence used for a purpose. In spite of his early years as an assassin, he now prefers to leave his opponents alive whenever possible. That doesn't mean he won't hesitate to kill if he feels he has to in order to survive or to protect someone he cares for. The list of people he cares about is short. His word is his bond. It takes quite a lot to impress Rivera and even more to earn his trust. Once his trust is earned, he would follow you right into the gates of Hell if necessary. He is an animal lover and extremely protective of children. He does not like guns, although he is an expert in their use. He is also highly intelligent, although he plays his intelligence down in most situations. Being underestimated, more often than not, plays to his advantage. Skills: Master level chef Fighting Sytles: Boxing, Muay Thai, Jujitsu, Krav Maga, Kickboxing, eskrima, panantuken, Kenpo Karate (7th Degree Black Belt), and Aikido (5th Degree Black Belt) Intentionally does what is necessary to give an impression that he is weaker than he is Skilled swordsman Strategist Accurate throwing ability whether its darts or pebbles. Knife expert Skilled Marksman Weaknesses: Despises most technology Highly paranoid Susceptible to neurolinguistic programming Bio: He lived a remarkably boring life. He showed absolutely no signs of interest in military service. Then one day he disappeared without a word. After several years he joined a black ops program that worked closely with the CIA, at that point most of his official file becomes blacked out. His last mission was fubar from the get go. He was the only survivor but he allowed them to think he was dead. He retired and started to live the quiet life in a little village, but an African general came into the village recruiting, raping, and killing anyone who refused him. Rivera bided his time, waited till general was down for the night, he then worked his way through the soldiers and finally ending the general's life with the tin cup on the bedside table. The general was the first son of the country's leader; Rivera was forced to flee the country. He is currently wanted in six countries with a combined bounty of $700,000. After wracking up his fourth bounty & sixth warrant he returned to the United States for the first time since completing basic training.

Name: Natalia Halden Age: 32 Sex: Female Archetype: Mastermind Personality: Natalia is a control freak. She's comfortable when she's in charge of the situation, and does everything she can to remain that way. Slightly arrogant at times, she has complete faith in herself. Although she knows that she is committing crimes, she still considers herself a good guy. As far as Natalia is concerned, it isn't her fault that the police and their justice system are useless, at least without a little help. She expects trust and obedience from those she works with, and becomes quite annoyed when it isn't given. She has problems (many of which are pride- related), but she refuses to acknowledge them. She hates showing weakness, and will never admit that someone is smarter than her. Fortunately for her, most people aren't. Appearance: Natalia has dark, curly hair and blue eyes. She rarely smiles, unless it's for a cover. Practicality is of far greater importance to her than appearance, and she generally wears professional garb. Standing about 5'8, she isn't generally imposing. However, she is perfectly capable of intimidation. She has a well-built muscular structure due to her training with the FBI. Weapons and Equipment: 9mm handgun, standard police issue Skills: Brilliant Tactician Knowledge of Police Procedure Undercover Experience Weaknesses: Extreme Distrust of Police Minimal Computer Skills (She can use Google, that's about it.) Over-Confidence Obsessed With Control History: Natalia was a cop. One of the best, in fact. She worked with the FBI for 6 years as a field agent, and at some point was assigned to hunt down most of her current team members. She was a highly respected member of the force. That is, until her partner was shot. She searched for the shooter for nearly a year, but to no avail. Her success in the past contrasted with her failure in this case not only messed with her head, but made those around her suspicious. The fact that they had both been in line for the same promotion did not help her case. Natalia was accused of murder. Still, she believed in the justice system. There was no concrete evidence against her, mainly because she hadn't done it. When the trial came, however, the prosecution had fabricated all kinds of evidence. They said that her gun matched his wounds, that they had been arguing before heading out on the mission. None of this was true. Her own lawyer did just as much lying to combat it. While she was eventually acquitted, the whole process disgusted her. The system had let her down. It was then that Natalia began looking into other cases, solved and unsolved. The more she saw, the more horrified she became. Rich people got away with murder in exchange for information. Smuggling rings were discovered but never broken down. This agency that she had been a proud part of for so long was useless. She even found evidence that suggested her partner had found corruption within the agency itself. That was why he had been killed, and she had been framed. Revolted by the people she had once trusted with her life, she resigned. She would never trust her government again. So she lost herself in misery and confusion, desperately trying to regain control of everything, her own life included. She waited for some way to make up for the corruption of the system, some way to actually help people.
