Raiden

Raiden


A cyborg who wields a 'high-frequency blade' capable of cutting down even the largest unmanned weapons. Born in Liberia, he lost his family in that countrys civil war before becoming a child soldier. After the war, he was rescued by a human rights group and taken to America. However, he found himself unable to adapt to peaceful society, and, after coming to the attention of the shadowy group known as the 'Patriots', he became an experimental subject for their 'S3 Plan'.
After being turned into a cyborg by the Patriots, Raiden devoted himself to fighting them. He had a child with Rosemary, a woman he met during the S3 Plan, so to provide for his family after the defeat of the Patriots, he joined a private military security company (PMSC) called 'Maverick Security Consulting'. He considers his PMSC activities to be for the greater good.

Samuel Rodrigues

Samuel Rodrigues

A mysterious cyborg employed by the PMC known as 'Desperado Enforcement'. He is a master swordsman who wields a high-frequency blade similar to Raidens, fighting with a Brazilian technique influenced by the Japanese 'New Shadow School' of swordsmanship. When he faces Raiden in battle, he sees through his technique, commenting that Raiden was "denying his weapon of its purpose."

Mistral

Mistral

A female cyborg working for Desperado Enforcement. Like Sundowner, she is also a member of the 'Winds of Destruction'. Her name comes from the dry north wind that blows over the Alps to the Mediterranean. Her weapon Etranger is flexible like a whip, but can be hardened and used like a halberd.

Monsoon

Monsoon

Works for Desperado Enforcement. Along with Sundowner and Mistral, he is one of the three cyborgs collectively known as the Winds of Destruction. His codename refers to seasonal winds that bring rain -- particularly in Southeast Asia. He is a master at wielding his magnetic sai, known as Dystopia, and is able to break his own body apart.

Sundowner

Sundowner

The man seen as the virtual leader of Desperado Enforcement. He goes by the codename Sundowner -- a reference to the hot, dry winds of California. He has a special cyborg body superior to that of an average cyborg contractor, and belongs to a group known as the Winds of Destruction. He uses a dual-wielding technique and is armed with a large high-frequency machete called Bloodlust.
