… Since her transformation she has been diagnosed with severe depression. Following her last evaluation the resident psychologist advised she be under constant care, but unfortunately conventional treatments such as medication are ineffective, and spending extended periods of time in her presence is tremendously dangerous.

Notes: After surviving the enhancement process, Alice was involved in some kind of industrial accident at the Laboratoires des Technologies d’Augmentation de Montreal, and reported missing by Dr. Trudeau. There is a theory amongst certain enhancement specialists and Contest Initiative Administrators that Alice is not like other enhanced people, that she is unique, the result of a highly dangerous and controversial experiment in dark matter phase-shifting conducted illegally by Dr. Trudeau. There is very little evidence of this ‘accident’, but there is evidence of a cover-up. Dr. Trudeau and her staff have been placed under investigation on conspiracy charges. 
The being now known as ‘Protea’ is still at large.

…does command the resources and powers of her laboratoires des technologies d’augmentation de montreal, her private enhancement facility, the most advanced in the world.

Notes: Dr. Trudeau was one of the very first researchers to truly comprehend and implement the vast properties and applications of dark matter and energy. She and her colleagues developed phase-shifting technology, the process by which matter and energy is displaced between dimensional states, and by which all contemporary technology is now created and maintained. She is the last living developer of the enhancement method, and the most brilliant experimental physicist alive. Without her, there would have been no contests, and no contest initiative. She is an old woman, past ninety, but still just as sharp and capable of mischief as she ever was.

…the day she took power, which as transformed the city-state from a rigid post-war democracy into the police state it is today. After the General’s assassination, Eyadema volunteered to raise his children as her own. Since they enhanced and subsequently joined the Contest Initiative as Tunis’ premiere Contestants, she has managed them as their official Liaison. As the Contest Initiative Administrator of Tunis, a covert role, she is afforded nearly as much power and influence as her presidency.

Notes: As principle architect of the global armistice, the document that would become the cornerstone of a new global peace among the remaining city-states of the earth, and one of the authors of the constitution of the new league of nations, the general is the most significant, and most loved and respected figure in recent history. The details surrounding his death fourteen years ago are still a total mystery. The lone gunman who took his life is still at large.

…The precise destructive range of this ability is unknown, but he has been known to level entire city blocks during contests, apparently for the sheer maniacal joy of it.

Psychological Profile: He exhibits extreme anti-social behaviour, presents a vicious outward persona, loud, crass, prone to violent outbursts. Paradoxically, he regularly puts himself in harm’s way to protect ordinary citizens at risk. He is known in his poor London disctrict of hackney as a guardian, a vigilante protector. If it weren’t for his standing as London’s premiere contestant his extracurricular activities would have been curbed long ago. As it stands, only so much public chaos can be tolerated by this administration. Max has struggled with alcoholism and substance abuse his entire adult life.

Weapons/Equipment: Leather jacket.

Notes: Max grew up a blind, feral child in the northern wastes of old Britain, amongst a community of near-savage survivors. Using his wits, intellect, and an intimate knowledge of his environement he was able to keep himself alive long enough to be rescued by the contest initiative. As a contestant, Max is one of the privileged elite of society, but for some inexplicable reason chooses to live amongst the poor and disenfranchised, in the darkest ghettoes of London.

Notes: After several attempts to reverse the process, each one causing the subject to retreat further and further from recognizable humanity, the cryptid began attempting to end his own life. So far he has yet to discover a method by which to achieve this end. He is a desperate creature with nothing to lose.

… next to her heart which contains a sphere of dark matter about the size of a grape. The implant is an interface between her nervous system and the core.

Psychological Profile: Young, hotheaded, and dangerous. Skyjack carries a chip on her shoulder and has shown a complete disregard for authority. These traits are a hold-over from her dissident past, she was a member of several anti-fascist and anti-government grass-roots orginizations, before she enhanced. Though she still carries the banner and wears the fashion of the dissident rebel, the administration feels confident she has been brought to heel. A new addition to montreal’s contestant roster, she has taken to the games with gusto, and has proven herself capable of following orders.

Weapons/Equipment: N/A

Notes: Though she plays the role of the dangerous rebel, skyjack has proven time and time again during training and contests that she will risk her own life to save her fellow contestants, onlookers, even enemies. For all her bluster and bravado, and her nearly limitless physical power, she is an open book. She is a hero, and therefore, vulnerable.

She has been recorded during covert surveillance claiming that one day she will bring down her native government with the power that has been bestowed to her by the contest initiative. At this time there is no protocol in place to prevent her from carrying out this threat, if she ever attempts to.

Psychological Profile: While both twins are highly intelligent, Solar Flare is a playboy, a thrill-seeker, and an impulsive adventurer. He is quick to laugh, gregarious and extroverted. He revels in his enhancements, and wields his social influence expertly, with a great respect for the common people. He is kind, generous, and loving, but also easily distracted, careless, and narcissistic.

Weapons/Equipment: The uniforms the twins wear are woven from a highly advanced nanite fibre. The material is capable of changing its form according to pre-programmed structure models, the most useful of which is a wing-suit configuration. The nanite fibre is also designed to capture and store solar energy, self-repair and clean, heal minor wounds, and repel most low-gauge energy and projectile weapons. Their goggles project a 3d rendering of the immediate topography in real time, and the helmets contain communicators linked by satellite.

Notes: The twins enhanced at age fifteen, shortly after their father, the General of Tunis was assassinated. They grew up in the shadow of his memory, a war hero, and the principle architecht of the global armistice that ended the cataclysmic wars. They have enjoyed a lifetime of wealth, fame, privelege, and power, but are also burdened with the responsibility of living up to their father’s legacy. They are universally loved and revered as heroes and defenders of the people of Tunis.

Psychological Profile: While both twins are highly intelligent, Solar Wind exhibits a more rational, patient temperament. She is moral and compassionate, but she has been raised in a protected, privileged realm of entitlement and comfort. She is quick to judge, and can be haughty, humorless, naive, and sometimes cruel. She is emotionally isolated, even from her brother.

…with various armaments and its own a.i.. George carries a lance which fires a powerful laser, and emits an electromagentic charge. He wears what looks like a traditional, medieval suit of armor, but what is in fact a state-of-the-art weapons system of his own design.

Notes: Saint George is a brave and powerful contestant, and is well-loved in his home city-state, but will rarely ever put himself in harm’s way to protect or fight for his partners in the contests, unless of course the cameras are there to record his ‘heroic’ deeds.

… the virtues of truth, honour, and righteousness. He is not an educated man, but his morality and sense of justice are unwavering and absolute.

Weapons/Equipment: Viking carries an enormous iron battle-axe that weighs over a thousand pounds and emits a destructive electro-magnetic charge.

Notes: Viking has been known to fly into berzerker rages and cause massive property damage. He calls them his little “sturm und drang episodes”. He is unilingually german.

…A dangerous combination.

Weapons/Equipment: The entire body of a synthetic life-form can be considered a weapon, their senses, reflexes, speed, strength, agilityand endurance are dependent on the parameters of their design, and the skill and resources of their designers. The Weisse Frau was specifically designed for combat. This particular model comes equipped with an experimental weapons system- her skin can emit a high-frequency light-pulse, specifically designed to interrupt normal human cognitive function. Paired with that, she extends an unbreakable, nearly invisible filament from each of her wrists that can cut through almost anything.

Notes:Though most androids are ordinary citizens, with the same rights and freedoms as biological humans, the Weisse Frau is unique. She is a killing machine, a synthetic predator.
