Fletcher Smith was born during the horrendous atrocity known as "The Federation War." His parents were drafted into the Alexandrian ranks when Fletcher was only nine years of age. Both would lose their lives to the relentless onslaught of the Federation forces. From then on, Fletcher swore he'd follow in his parents steps and rise through the ranks of the Alexandrian military. By the time he reached the minimum age requirement for service, eighteen the war with the federation had reached it's end. This did not stop Fletcher, he was determined to join the military. After mouths of grueling training, Fletcher was deployed as security for a salvage operation inside the barren tundra known as the Wasteland.
Dispite it all, Fletcher has maintained a rather cheerful outlook on the world. Described as energetic, charismatic, but a bit stubborn.
"The wars over Harry, honestly if anything it’ll be unbelievably boring… "
"Eh- well no I was just trying to sound cool..." (Embarrassed)
"Actually, It was thanks to my bountiful amounts of courage and lack of fear."
(overly confident)
Another unfortunate victim of the Federation war. Cayden Lee was orphaned after a raid on his hometown. Unlike Fletcher, Cayden had no honorable reason to join up with the Alexandrian military. His reason was simple, revenge. None of this nonsense of honoring his folks, or making sure others can avoid a similar fate. All he wanted was to spill as much federation blood as he possibly could. But with the wars end, Cayden was robbed of his purpose in life. Now he continues to serve his country as a bitter, angry soul.
"Sniper, get down!" (Shouting)
"But... why would they attack us? What happened to the treaty?" (Baffled/ Confused)
"Fletcher, get your shit together! He's dead, and if you don't shape up so will we.." (Angry/ Stern)
He should sound like an old, slightly bitter general who only cares about his men. As such, we're looking for someone with a deeper voice, but if you think you have another voice that could work, feel free to go for it.
Daniel Foster, the head of security for quadrant five of the Wasteland salvage operation. A veteran of the Federation War, and the oldest member of the security team. While most involved in the war harbor deep seeded hatred for the Federation, Daniel does not. Over time, Daniel grew more and more apathetic to the war effort. Death after Death, losing those close to him over and over again, it all placed a huge burden on his heart. Now he serves as another cog in the machine, taking command of whatever operation command assigns him.
"What about Crests unit? Any contact from them?" (Questioning)
"Battle unit coming in from the east!" (Shouting)
"Listen kid, when you've fought for as long as I have. You start to become numb to it all."
