Team Leader/Grenadier (Firelight 1)
Name: Vasily Vladimirovich Navikov
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Nationality: Russian
Appearance:
Vasily looks every bit the ex-VDV member that he is. Tall, with bulging muscles and almost always wearing the distinctive blue-striped shirt, he exudes an aura of confidence stemming from experience. He keeps his brown hair short, with the sides and back shaved and the top never more than half an inch in height. His size is not a reflection of his speed, and one would do well to remember that he had also served with Russian Police Spetsnaz, a job a lumbering person would not fare well in.

Team 2IC/Breacher (Firelight 2)
Name: Yang Meng Lie
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Nationality: Chinese
Appearance:
Hard-faced and slender, Meng Lie has the appearance of a walking oxymoron. Where most members of Firelight are slim, he is outright slender, with a dancer's build. One look at his face, however, and one would quickly discard all notions that he is a soft person. There is a reason that Meng Lie is the team's chosen negotiator and interrogator, and that is his almost emotionless face and cold, black eyes. Few people can withstand a brief, half-hour interview and most would crack shortly after the twentieth minute. As with Vasily, Meng Lie keeps his hair short, almost to PLA regulation.

Team Heavy Gunner (Firelight 3)
Name: Lee Seung-Min
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Nationality: South Korean
Appearance:
With a petite build and youthful features, Seung-Min looks, and is often mistaken for being a lot younger than her actual age. Her large, brown eyes do little to dispel the illusion of youth and innocence, though it's not as if she minds. As long as it does not get in the way of her work, she could care less about her looks. Her small size belies her strength, which one can easily deduce as she carries what is easily the heaviest weapon of the squad. She keeps her black hair tied into a messy ponytail.
Service History:
- Republic of Korea Army; 90th Infantry Brigade (Mechanized) (Transferred upon request)
- Republic of Korea Marine Corps; 1st Engineer Battalion (Discharged following end of contract)

Team Marksman (Firelight 4)
Name: Ashton Tay Shi Kai
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Nationality: Singaporean
Appearance:
Average in looks, average in height and average in personality, Ashton would have been an easily overlooked person in any other setting and with any other people. However, against the background that is his squad, Ashton stands out in particular simply because he is perhaps the only one who can be seen as 'perfectly normal'. His slim build belies his strength, something which he uses to his advantage when it comes to a hand-to-hand fight. Straight, black hair licks at his brows and collars, the longest his team leader would allow. Ashton wears a pair of ballistic glasses on a near-constant basis. Not because he wishes to hide his dark brown eyes, but because he needs the lens inserts to combat his short-sightedness.
Service History:
- Singapore Army; 3 Guards (Transferred upon request)
- Singapore Army; 1 Army Development Force (Discharged upon end of contract)
Notable skills:
- Heliborne Operations
- Jungle Warfare

Team Gunner/Medic (Firelight 5)
Name: Anahera Weaver
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Nationality: New Zealander
Appearance:
Maori blood flows through Anahera's veins, and she is clearly very proud of it. Her arms are decorated with tribal tattoos, and whether or not they are indeed Maori tattoos is still up for debate. With wild, green eyes and an impish or even mischievous look to her, she is easily the most enthusiastic member of Firelight, always more than ready to head out on a mission. Like Seung-Min, she keeps her auburn hair in a loose ponytail.

- New Zealand Army; 5th/7th Battalion, RNZIR (Discharged following end of contract)
