Character Name: 'Dregs' or 'The Dregs'
Diver Role: Loader
Character Description: In his late 20's, Dregs is the byproduct of Diver parents, born on the Surface, in what his folks' referred to as a safe, surface city. (He has little to no memory of it, and can barely remember his parents, having lived most of his life on the Island the team is from.) He has been a labourer most of his life, and has been, in every breath of every moment he has to himself, been reviving his father's rig, 'The Mule.' He is often dirty, and threadbare, as he cares little for his own upkeep or appearance, preferring to focus on what he views as his legacy. His clothes are serviceable, and patched, bearing the marks of years of hard work, and have been modded with what he can find, so better suit his scavv'ing. On the ground, he is shy to the point of occasional stuttering and has very few friends. He is lean, muscular and a bit malnourished (aren't we all?) but his constant work around the Island doing odd jobs and repairs for nearly everyone, and his after-hours work on the Mule ensure that he is in the best physical form he can be. He does not seek out relationships or drama, preferring to keep much to himself (at least, until his integration to the Dive Team, something he has fought for and sought out his whole life.) Dregs believes he is not meant to be on the Island. He knows deep down that he is from elsewhere, and is destined to go 'home' once more.

Diver Rig: 'The Mule.' Dregs has been with the Mule his whole life. It is the sole piece of his past that he owns. Once the busted hulk of his father's own rig, it, like Dregs himself, is seemingly from 'elsewhere.' It has taken Dregs his whole life to rebuild it, modify it, repair it. To say he is intimately familiar with the massive rig's functions and features would be an understatement. He built most of it with his bare hands. A huge six-legged, vaguely insectoid chassis, the Mule is able to traverse almost any terrain, and can if need be rise up to walk as a quadroped, using its two foremost legs as arms to grasp or perform heavy work, able to interchage its fore-limbs for a host of cutting, slashing, or other heavy work attachments. Made to carry nearly its own weight in cargo, it is aptly named, like a 'pack mule' it has attachment points along its flanks for scrap bags or cargo containers. The Mule is currently devoid of firearms, but sports an array of cutting weapons. Its main armament being a steam-powered Vibro-Axe.
