Player Characters

The main function of this campaign is a plot-driven story line with characters trying to fight against the armies of the Coalition States and other threats to the Free State of Quebec. All players will choose their own O.C.C. with mecha assigned by the GM; everyone will start with a Quebec Military "Violator" SAMAS. Humans are the only race allowed, to mitigate the issue with xenophobia. Experience points are awarded based on game play, not just killing enemies.

Corporal Pierre Corbin [Mark]

Human male scrupulous Elite RPA pilot 3

Call-sign “Odd Job”, Corbin was born in Wichita Falls, in C.S. Lone Star, a small town known for its close-knit community. Raised in modest circumstances with his father working in government administration and his mother working in food distribution, Corbin was inspired by a strong sense of duty for community and a desire to contribute meaningfully to his country, especially in the defense of supernatural menaces threatening to destroy the Coalition States. After graduating from high school, Corbin enlisted in the C.S. Army, marking the beginning of a distinguished military career. Corbin’s journey in the Army was marked by continuous growth and remarkable achievements. He began his service as a Coalition grunt, but quickly graduated to the SAMAS core, a unit renowned for its high standards and rigorous training. His time as a Robot Power Armor pilot shaped his discipline, leadership, and combat skills. During his career, Corbin deployed multiple times to combat zones, including the unclaimed territory between C.S. Iron Heart and C.S. Quebec. He participated in numerous high-stakes missions, demonstrating tactical expertise and unwavering courage. His colleagues frequently described him as a natural leader who inspired those around him with his humility and sense of purpose. Perhaps it was the many missions into the area which swayed Corbin’s opinion on the conflict between Chi-Town and the adherents to Quebec breaking away from the Coalition States. Matters came to a head when orders during one mission instructed a strike into Quebec from Iron Heart, to destroy a purported Glitter Boy storage facility, ignoring any civilian loss of life. Unable to fulfill the mission as he viewed this as an attack upon his own country, he was grounded by the SAMAS core, prompting him to go AWOL and join the Army of Free Quebec. Emboldened by his skillset, he was recruited by Lt. Rommel to fly in an elite SAMAS squadron, Blue Fox Squad, one of four Violator only SAMAS teams.

2nd Lieutenant Laura Wilde [Gloria]

Human female scrupulous military specialist 3

Call-sign “Spike”, Wilde was born and lived in Resolute Bay in the northernmost portion of former Canada, a location which escaped most of the devastation of the coming of the Rifts. Her parents were of mixed heritage, with Caucasian and Inuit ancestry, and her childhood was marked by hardship. By the age of five, she had lost both parents: her father to tuberculosis and her mother shortly afterward to mysterious circumstances. Orphaned, she was raised by her uncle and extended family, and worked alongside other family members as a laborer, doing other menial jobs to make ends meet. Her schooling was sporadic, and she often faced challenges related to poverty and prejudice. Despite these obstacles, Wilde demonstrated resilience, developing a strong sense of discipline and self-reliance that would later serve her well in her military career. Wilde joined the local militia while still a teenager and later enlisted in the Coalition States Army three years later. The military provided her with an escape from poverty and an opportunity to forge a better future. It was here that she found her calling, embracing the rigorous discipline and camaraderie of military life. During the early years of her career, Wilde served in various roles, including a stint with the Airborne Division. However, it was her training with the elite CS Commandos that would define her military legacy. Wilde was deployed to the northern reaches of Iron Heart, and during one mission, she was gravely wounded by a thornhead, suffering severe injuries to her spine and legs. Doctors believed she would never walk again, and she was sent home to recover. However, Wilde refused to accept this prognosis, seeking medical help in Quebec. Through extensive surgery and relentless self-rehabilitation, she regained her ability to walk, defying medical expectations. During her recovery, she was moved by the situation in Free Quebec, and ending her commission with the CS, she joined an elite SAMAS team to fight for the new nation’s freedom.

Staff Sergeant Travis McGwire [David]

Human male unprincipled special forces 3

Call-sign “Blackjack”, McGwire was born in the Canadian city of Trois-Rivières, one of the few North American cities to survive relatively unscathed by the coming of the Rifts. He came from an affluent and well-educated family, which afforded him opportunities that were rare for people at the time. Demonstrating exceptional intellect and ambition, McGwire pursued higher education, earning a doctorate in political science from the University of Quebec. His academic focus reflected an analytical mind and a keen understanding of international relations, traits that would later define his career in espionage. With the call to arms to protect humanity from supernatural dangers, McGwire left his potential career behind, joining the Coalition Army and making strides in the special forces corp. After years of active duty, McGwire found he could not turn his back on his native Quebec, and he left his post to support the military of Free Quebec. However, the conflict created an unprecedented demand for skilled individuals in unconventional roles, and McGwire’s intellect and resourcefulness soon brought his to the attention of Free Quebec intelligence authorities. McGwire’s journey into espionage began soon after he arrived in Quebec, where he was recruited by the military intelligence service. The organization, tasked with conducting espionage and counterintelligence operations, recognized his potential as a strategist and administrator. Using his special forces training as a cover, McGwire was assigned to the SAMAS Training at Fort Châteauguay, where his mission was to observe Coalition activities on the frontline, and to also gauge the loyalty of the soldiers in the Free Quebec military. Placed as a close confidant to 1st Lieutenant Heinrich Rommel, McGwire has proven an effective strategist to Blue Fox squad, while spying on his teammates and his superiors.

1st Lieutenant Heinrich Rommel [J.D.]

Human male anarchist Elite RPA pilot 3

Call-sign “Dodger”, Rommel grew up on a farm near the remains of Aarhus (formerly Denmark) in the New German Republic, where he developed a deep love for aviation after witnessing the development of the flying machines of Triax Industries. Despite the challenges of rural life during the post-apocalypse, Rommel pursued his dream of flying. After he was old enough to attend, Rommel enrolled at the Ironspire Polytechnic College where he majored in economics. While in college, Rommel joined the Munich city militia, which introduced him to military life. Inspired by his growing passion for aviation and a desire to serve his country, Rommel applied for the Richthofen aviation program. His acceptance marked the beginning of his military career. However, during his training, Rommel was not able to make the cut of the stringent testing to fly combat aircraft, such as the XM-280 fighter. Designated for transport duty, Rommel turned his eyes west when footage of the Coalition States military became available, and he witnessed his first look at Coalition SAMAS pilots in action. Hoping Triax would produce armaments like these for the NGR, Rommel seemed content with flying for his country as it waged war against the Gargoyle Nation. Things changed when representatives for Free Quebec visited Munich to initiate peaceful relations with the NGR, and Rommel was moved by their desire for independence. Known as an opportunist who thinks before action, Rommel resigned his commission and found his way on the transport back to Free Quebec where he enlisted with the Free Quebec military. After quickly navigating through the ranks because of his military experience in Europe, his dreams did come true when he was assigned to SAMAS training, focusing on the new QPA-102 Violator. Excelling in this Quebec innovation in military might, Rommel was assigned as leader of Blue Fox Squad, one of four Violator only SAMAS teams.
