Player Characters
Matthew Ryan
- "While the guys turning on the boss will prove themselves, I will have to prove myself to your people."
- The Alcoholic: Often drunk, often drinking, and with alcohol being a valid instrument, Matthew might rarely be sober.
- Boisterous Bruiser: While of a more quiet variety, Matt is not one to be stuffy and can have fun while kicking ass or while not doing so.
- Does Not Know His Own Strength: The flaw of his enhancements is that he cannot precisely control his grip, leading to Matt unintentionally crushing, ripping or just tearing things apart while trying to use them.
- Dumb Muscle: Matthew is... not very bright. But he has the strength required to bend steel bare-handed.
- Honor Before Reason: Many of his actions stem more from what he thinks right rather than what others might consider smart.
- Super-Strength: A natural strength score of 5 combined with an enhancement of strength gives him this.
Cam Ellison
- "I'm waiting on some leads to pan out there, and in the mean time, I thought I would help some restless spirits do what needed to be done so they could ride the wheel and find their place in the next life."
- Gratuitous Greek: Used often in spirit-command.
- Friendly Ghost: Andrew, his first wraith he helped after joining the Chantry, sticks around with him.
- I See Dead People: As a veritable medium and owner of the Spirit Sphere, par of the course.
- Magnetic Medium: With Spirit Magnet and a Medium, though his magnetism is more for mundane spirits.
- Non-Action Guy: Cam does not take well to situations where an action hero might thrive.
- Projectile Webbing: After having a specific bio-augmentation he has the ability to shoot web live a veritable Spider-Man.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: Not exactly a soldier, but his experience in Syria has marked him.
Rayna Sakamoto
- "I'm not here to actively police you, so you can play Harry Potter all you want in private, but it's technically my job in the Union to make sure the Masses are safe from dangerous reality deviance."
- Action Girl: She's a combat model and not at all afraid of using her military programming.
- Anti-Magic: Most of her enhancements focus on Primium countermeasures.
- Badass Adorable: Rayna does not look at all like how you expect an It X cyborg to be.
- The Berserker: In possession of the flaw/merit with a more cold variation of it.
- Cyborg: The most notable one, even as others hold a few cyber-augmentations.
- Little Miss Badass: She will end things twice her size with military precision.
- Pintsized Powerhouse: As a heavily augmented cyborg, par of the course.

Nigel Hughes

- Blood Knight: Nigel is not only happy with dealing harm, but taking it as well.
- Boisterous Bruiser: As an English Hooligan given magic powers, Nigel has a unique brand of enthusiasm towards physical challenges.
- Hot-Blooded: Boiling blood, practically. Nigel's brand of magic usually involves just throwing himself at the situation and seeing what happens.
- Large Ham: The brit will almost always engage in Chewing the Scenery, being surprisingly likeable.
Reginald "Reggie" Arnold Fitzgerald Farnsworth the 4th Esquire

- Science Hero: As with many other Etherites.
Edgar Victor
- "I believe around here everyone's too involved with their own personal research to have the time to backstab, if we were all immortal, I believe it would happen more often."

- Seeker Archetype: Ed must unveil all there is to know.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Ed would most often sprinkle a nice swear word in even the most casual sentence.
Maxine Payne
- "Deep within the shadows....the agent of darkness creeps forth."
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Maybe she's a wannabe edgelord. Maybe she sings her own theme song in the middle of battle and an Chuunibyou. It's easy to forget that when push comes to shove, she's not part of the NWO for no reason. Not only is she an expert hacker, she's also a Cyber Ninja, capable of taping into Bullet Time, to kill opponents before they can so much as blink.
- The Heart: Despite her antics, she often brings a good perspective and there is no one who would not stand with her if she wanted to be free of Joff.

- The Renfield: Ghoul to Joff and quite okay with it.
- Shout-Out: To Max Payne
Elan Mc Gillian

- The Berserker: Despite how he looks, Elan can go nuts at just about any moment.
- Familiar: He has a spider as a familiar, an incarnated pattern spider, named Captain Net.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: He's a kinfolk, which means he is directly related to werewolves while not actually being one.
- The Pollyanna: Nothing can bring Elan's spirits down and he takes every new discovery with a smile on his face.
Steven "Ghost" Masters

- Nanomachines: One of his instruments and his chief method of Matter manipulation.
- Professional Killer: Despite his passion for craft, Ghost was trained to be a very effective assassin. While he dislikes what he has become, his skill is notable.
- Super-Reflexes: Due to his combination of bio-augmentations and cybernetic enhancements, Steven possesses a Dexterity score of 8, the maximum possible.
Marianne Anderson
- "Well we can have seemingly impossible to attain ambitions sometimes but of course that will require hard work and lots of research"
- The Medic: Unlike most others, Marianne is purely a support character, with little combat potential to speak of.

R1n
- "Can we interact with that blue glowing surface? Go touch it before I try the next?"
Alexandra "Lex" Sigrun Warg
- "Ok, all systems green. Maintenance door 32 reports lock malfunction, maybe we should check it out, but, if you want, I could give this a try. And boy she's stacked with all kinds of goodies..."
- Action Girl: A level above most, Alexandra usually fights in an Alanson Hardsuit and is more than experienced in fighting horrors of deep space.
- Electronic Eyes: A prominent feature.
- Powered Armor: Comes with her own Alanson Hardsuit and takes any conflict in it where possible.

Striking Thunder
- "I know my fellow garou think me an idiot for doing this. I don't care. We could have gone in there, lost half our numbers, done it honorably and so on. I believe in keeping our numbers up to fight another day. Die with purpose, not for honor. And today we will do our duty."
- Only Known by Their Nickname: His entry does not mention his actual name and no one has ever used it.
Robert Anthony Johnson
- "This will be a joint operation, quite possibly one of the first between a Traditions chantry, a Union Construct and a Garou Sept. We've come here to take care of what is known as a Black Spiral Dancer Hive. To those of you who don't know, this is basically a settlement of corrupted werewolves. Dangerous and very, very bad for everyone."
- Honest Corporate Executive: As with most of the good-aligned Syndicate, Robert seeks to improve the condition of people with their wealth-creation.

Frederick "Vision" Lamarr
- "Okay, what is this Star Trek stuff? I'm not gonna look a free trip out of Malfeas but... okay, fine, this is impressive. But looks more dated than a library computer."
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: He is fully aware of the shortfalls of his brothers and will admit it often, but Fred is there to provide their voice, not their opinion.
James Matthews
- "Diane, these will be the.... mages... that will be helping us."
- Knight Templar: He can become downright erratic and obsessed with anything that can achieve his long-standing desire to burn any corruption in the police force.
Amadeus Caddington

- Only Sane Man: How he felt when handling the "Energy Crisis" scene.
- Robe and Wizard Hat: At least robe, as another hermetic.
Andrei Lebedev

- Dark and Troubled Past: He is marked by almost falling into Descent and being forever suspected as corrupted due to this.
