Role description

Character Attributes: Self-serving, Idealist, Politician, Magnanimous, Democratic, Naive, Impatient North American accent. Role in Game: Having spent her formative years growing up on St. Andre under the rule of the Federated Commonwealth, Sofia saw firsthand the hypocrisy of the Great Houses spending her teenage years growing up under Davion occupation, only to give way to House Steiner’s oligarchs. With the collapse of the Chaos March, Sofia and the citizens of St. Andre believe that their interests are better served by acting as an independent planet free of the influence of the Great Houses. Sofia has, in turn, rallied the entirety of the planetary militia to her cause. And has sought out trusted partners in the Word of Blake to safeguard St. Andre from outside influences. Hoping to replicate the success of the neighboring Saiph Triumvirate. Little does Sofia know that she is being played as a pawn. A public mouthpiece and idealistic local figurehead to further the ambitions of Vincent Cheung and the Word of Blake. While she may indeed have the greater interest of St. Andre and its people in mind, her single-minded arrogance, thinking that she is the only one qualified to see St. Andre free, makes her an easily manipulated puppet. Dancing to whatever tune Vincent whispers into her ear.

Character Attributes: Legacy Leader, Realist, Politician, Traditionalist, Authoritative Accent: North American Role in Game: Antonio Rossi served as the Lieutenant Governor of St. Andre in the waning era of the 3020’s prior to House Davion’s conquest of the system. He leads a public movement made up primarily of Capellan citizens who had been living under FedCom occupation for the past 30 years. Never wavering in their faith and support of the Capellan State. Rossi knows the intrinsic realities of living as a singular blip in a much grander universe and feels that the reformist movement led by Sofia is folly. An independent St. Andre is one that will slowly be choked out and die next to its vastly superior neighbors. Or made the puppet of larger powers like the Word of Blake. Antonio wishes to see St. Andre restored to the Capellan Confederation and gladly acts as Zhi Liu’s tool to see this done.

Role in Game: A wounded veteran of the massacred Com Guard’s 78th Division on Tukayyid. Vincent Cheung was once a MechWarrior who faced off against Clan Steel Viper in the battle of the Devil’s Bath. His cockpit was breached by an Elemental during the battle which resulted in him losing an arm, a foot, and an eye. While suffering severe scarring on his lungs from breathing in the sulphuric fumes of the hellish battlefield. Despite his ghastly appearance, he is considered one of the lucky ones, as the 78th Division left Tukayyid with a casualty rate of over 80%. Vincent included. Now, eight years removed from the battle, Vincent’s days as a MechWarrior are long behind him. Following Focht seizing power in the wake of Tukayyid, Vincent left ComStar in disgust over Focht’s naked power grab in the wake of his brother’s sacrifices on Tukayyid.

Rank: Sao-wei Speaking Accent: No accent, or a slight Chinese accent acceptable. Ideal candidates should be able to speak fluent Mandarin Chinese. Ethnicity: Han Chinese Character Attributes: Whip Smart, Beautiful, Regal, Authoritative, Strategist, Secretive, Spy Role in Game: Through the events of our previous stories, humanity has once again united under the banner of the Star League. Electing Capellan Confederation Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao as the new First Lord of the Star League. Sao-wei Zhi Liu approaches the player as a representative from First Lord Liao’s office. Acting as First Lord Liao’s eyes, ears, and voice of authority, to order the player to travel to the Chaos March, a proverbial no man's land of contested space, and act as peacekeepers in the name of the Star League. While Sao-wei Liu is indeed a member of the Star League and an officer serving the First Lord's office, unbeknownst to the player, she is also a Capellan Confederation intelligence officer with a secret mission tasked to her by First Lord Liao: To retake the contested worlds of the Chaos March in the name of the Capellan Confederation. Not the Star League. To her, the player and the Star League are convenient catspaws that allow the Confederation's actions to be publicly seen as magnanimous, when in reality, she is making the player complicit in a larger offensive military occupation. To that end, Sao-Wei Liu’s public face is a mask of good intentions and candied words hiding the sharpened dagger ever at the ready to plunge into her opponents back. While she is more than willing to put on a friendly face and use her intelligence to spin any conversation to her benefit, when push comes to shove, she knows full well that she herself is a deadly weapon, wielding the full authority of the single most powerful man in the universe. A power she is fully prepared to use when she deems it appropriate to do so.

Desperate to experience intimacy after many failed attempts, she invites a new boyfriend, Ted, into her bedroom, only to have her attempt at connection unravel under the watch of her fiercely protective monster. **Please note this role has simulated intimacy, sensual physical contact, graphic horror violence and gore, intense emotional distress, a scene involving a blade held to the throat, and strong language.**

Role description

Ted, early 20s. A slightly overweight, sweet-natured young man. He has an endearing, boyish quality, with a playful sense of humor and an earnest, almost disarming innocence. He feels a little out of place among the cool, edgy crowd around him. Affectionate, trusting, and genuinely devoted to his girlfriend, Sherilyn, he wears his heart on his sleeve and wants nothing more than to make her happy. When a romantic evening turns into a nightmare, Ted’s sweetness gives way to disbelief and escalating panic as he faces imminent death. An ordinary young man completely out of his depth, he must fight to survive. Requires strong comedic timing and the ability to shift from awkward charm to increasingly frantic terror. **Please note this role has simulated intimacy, partial nudity (underwear), graphic horror violence and gore, physical distress, and strong language.**
