Character descriptions per race

Gen Mo'Kai (Team Fire Storm)

— Komek

"The youngest of the Gen Mo'Kai players, Motig is also the most enthusiastic and outgoing of the recruits. He plays the crowd like a finely tuned instrument, using finesse and style to impress while crushing his enemies underfoot. Underestimating his abilities in combat may be the last mistake you'll ever make."

— Motig

"Unlike his flashy young friend Motig, Selig prefers to keep to himself. Between competitions he likes to explore the worlds he visits and document the interesting things he finds, or play a lethal game of cat and mouse with the interesting things that find him."

— Roc

Who needs a gun when you've got hands and teeth?"

"Fierce, loyal, and technically capable. Her frame may be slim but she has the most incredible reflexes.

— Torch

"Supported by his twin brother, Romulus has proven that with the right team behind you a good leader can go anywhere. So what if his brother feels a little jealous now and then, and maybe they start taking shots at each other. That's what the cloning tank's for, right?"

— Romulus

"Being a twin in the Tournaments isn't so bad, as long as you're on the same side. If you think it's hard to have to face a brother in the arena try it when he's also got your face. One thing makes it easier though. He's a real jackass."

— Remus

Nightmares (Team Black Legion)

"Abaddon, the leader of the Black Legion, is the result of extensive genetic manipulation experiments.

— Domina
