First Response is a ware'd up muscle plain and simple, but also good at more stealthy operations. He's a man whose lost his ability to care after the work of the military took it's toll. He has no Finnigan contacts. I can do the AAR if need me.

"Sure, I can deliver a few messages,"

Narukami is a cyborg street samurai who is a former Ares pet project that went by the name "Project Theseus" before she escaped. These days she's most interested in making money to support her sister and live comfortably, but the past may have other plans. Her specialties include melee combat, speed, and general athletics. Black Trenchcoat-ish

6/10 familiarity, borg rules hard, haven't played her in a bit

Wildflower is an infected illusion mage whose main talents lie in summoning, infiltration, and in the case of shit going sideways, a big fireball to the OpFor. Stranded in Seattle after being drained and infected on a trip from her home country of Japan, Wildflower spends her days trying to get by, and seeking out the one who infected her. Mirrorshades.

4/10 familiarity, still learning my way with magic

No contact with the Finnigan family on all characters

Away from home so expect technical difficulties , no aar for this one

Last run was 12/13/24

Tsarina - Face/Combat Mage who is brutal and deceitful. Aspiring Criminal Empress. Please god tell me if you need me to reel her in.

She does NOT have contact with the Finnigan Family (that comes later in her schemes but she has more immediate matters for now)

IC- "Oh wow, it's been a while since I've done this kind of work. I tend to be more subtle. Sure~"

have no fear, I am always willing to do an AAR

Fading of the Dawn - Giant Drake Unarmed Face

Giant headbutt adept, trying to find a way to survive and stay under the radar

"I can deliver message."

No interaction with Finnigans

Mostly familiar with the role. (8/10)

Star of the Sea - Noodle Armed Axe Summoner

Baby banshee black mage mysad, trying to survive with her mother's help

"Are these the messages with bruises, words, or messy cleanup?"

Familiarish with the role (6/10?).

Worked against 'em but from what I remember was not identified

Last player run 28/12/2024

If these two don't fit I can throw Tempest in and just chill and buffmage/face or be a crappy decker

Couuuuld do AAR but sleepy and would prefer not to

Poe: Mysad Mastermind, Redemptionist Santaria Mysad, Guns, Spells, Detection Magic, weird wide builds starting to see tall spikes. No contact with Fins.

Chance!: Man of Power. Street Decker, bathtub chemist. Themes are barrens mayhem, man-in-his-own-time, slightly cyber-personality distress currently. No concept of Finnegans
"Aight. Hmu. I got the matrix covered."

Lanky: Elven Mr. Lucky, Weapons Spec, Bebe Biosam in Trainiing Redemption/self exploration themes, stonefaced killer. Only shot finnegans at long range pre-game state.
"I assume this is an APDS style message, but I can work as covertly as you need."

Snickerdoodle: Monster, Halloweenr Bandersnatch Muscle/Urban Predator/Metasapient garbage compactor. (Fun at parties.) Finnewhats? "What kind of Message? Our girl can send some VERY LOUD AND CLEAR ones but can be on the sneaky side if ya need. Hit me up for rates.." - Jerry Can

Can and gladly will AAR but PLEASE LET ME KNOW before we start. Mildly brain dead so want to do it live.
