History Characters / MERCS

* DropTheHammer: the Behemoth wields an utterly huge hammer the size of a human torso.

* TheMario: The CCC are essentially the easiest [=MegaCon=] to play, requiering few advanced tatics and their self-repairing armor making them a rather fogiving force to play as.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: though it is rather vague how powerful they may once have been, the company is still dying, and rapidly. In-universe experts have given the company until 2185 before they have to file for bankruptcy unless they can retake the Panama Canal from its [=KemVar=] occupiers. [[YouHave48Hours It is currently 2184]].

* MightyGlacier: the USCR's MERCS are among the slowest in the game, but they are also some of the most heavily armored.

* HarsherInHindsight: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster a Japanese entity specializing in nuclear technology]]... ouch.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster a Japanese entity specializing in nuclear technology]]... ouch.

The only true African [=MegaCon=], sefadu was the rising star of the [=MegaCons=] until the 2184 Paradigm Shift. Prior to that fateful event, sefadu was a growing power on the corporate stage. Their revolutionary discoveries in laser technology enabled them to dictate terms to the world, and their MERCS enabled them to repel and defend their natural resources, bringing, for the first time in a long while, some peace and solidarity to the once fractured continent. Alas, their close ties to the CCC, supplying the latter with diamonds for ammunitions, didn't protect them, and in 2184 a joint CCC and FCC operation saw sefadu crippled to the point they could no longer be considered a [=MegaCon=]. However, their MERCS forces are still aound, operating as soldiers of fortune, while presumably waiting for an opportunity to strike back at the people responsible for their situation.

* CodeName: with the exception of the FCC Liasons (the FCCs contacts with the [=MegaCons=] for black ops), all FCC operatives make use of code names, differing in style by House. House 9 use the names of famous movie stars, while House 12 use the names of saints.
