Personnel:

[Star]
Squad Commander, Jeffery Killimenjaro
Call Sign: Brutus
Mech:Backstabber
Bio: Of a mixed native american, janpanesse descent, Jeffery is a young
     commander with excellent skills and an abundance of natural talent
     but little experience.  He was Promoted to Squad commander after the
     death of the Red Guard's former CO, Mazarim "Overkill" Tam.

Hook: Jeffery Feels responsible for the death of his mentor, "Maz," becuase he
      was off with a lady friend, while Maz was murdered by an unknown assassin
      while checking mehcs in the mechbay...something that Jeff should have
      been doing.  He is determined not to rest till he finds the assailant,
      who he believes is Cpl. James McKnight.

[Supporting Cast]
Gunnery Sgt., Thomas Fallkirk
Call Sign: Shakespeare
Mech:UmberHawk
Bio: Known as Old William (Shakespeare) to his friends, Thomas Fallkirk is
     a veteran in every sense of the word. He has a total of 47 confirmed kills
     in 17 major battles, and at age 68 he's one of the oldest mech warriors
     you'll find in the outter ring.  Despite his admirable skills, he's been
     passed over for promotion numerous times due to a feud with a high ranking
     staff member.

[Supporting Cast]
Cpl., Alan Higgins
Call Sign:Pin Cushion
Mech:Porcupine
Bio: A recent graduate from Neverend Mech academdy, Cpl. Higgins is the new
     kid on the block in the Red Guard. Though his tests are above average,
     he seems to never fail and make the huge tactical error of getting
     surrounded by enemy mechs in battle.  Hence his Call Sign.

[Supporting Cast]
Cpl., Jennifer Langley
Call Sign: Venus
Mech: Battlehawk II
Bio: Without a doubt, if looks could kill, Cpl. Jennifer Langley would be the
     most deadly weapon ever concieved.  A somewhat average mech pilot she makes
     up for it in boosting the morale of the unit with her good looks and little
     girl innocence.

[Star/Support]
Lt. JG, Susan Wells
Call Sign: Arch Angel
Mech: LAM Eagle
Bio: Second in command of the Red Guard, Lt. JG Susan Wells is one of the best
     LAM pilots you'll ever find.  Her skills as a field commander are almost
     without equal, and she'd most likely be in command of the Red Guard if
     not for her ever-dark mood.

[Support]
Airman Officer, Arthur Millhouse
Call Sign: Condor
Mech: LAM Eagle
Bio: An excellent wingman and air support provider, AO. Millhouse is well liked
     by his fellow guards and has saved them on more than one occasion.  Until
     recently, he was a Cpl. but was promoted after showing extreme courage
     under-fire by using his LAM to sheild his fallen friends.

Personnel:

[Support]
Sqaud Commander, David Alexander
Call Sign: Head Hunter
Mech: BLR4-KM BattleLord
Bio: Known as HH, to friends, Sqaud Commander David Alexander is a very intense
     induvidual.  Not an espically popular person outside of the 7th, he often
     comes off as an overzealous, cocky induvidual.  His claim to fame is more
     head-kills than any other induvidual in recorded outter ring history, a
     total of 47 to date.  Whether this is his mechs targeting software or
     his skills remains to be seen.

[Support]
Master Sgt., Donald Morris
Call Sign: Villian
Mech: BLR-4M BattleLord
Bio: Young, cold, and possibly cruel, what more can you say about MSgt. Don
     Morris.  Deadly efficent, he earned his Call Sign after stepping on a
     group of emeny pilots who faked a surrender and then fired anti-mech
     missles on him.

[Support]
1st. Lt, Bateau Kawasaki
Call Sign: Samuri
Mech: Thunder Bunny
Bio: Honorable almost to fault, 1st Lt. Bateau Kawasaki is a very capable
     mechwarrior.  He never lies cheats or steals, understands more about
     Logistics than most feild Marshall.  His only fault is he tends to be
     more a loner and prefers "duels" to team fighting.

[Star]
Cpl. James McKnight
Call Sign: JuggerNaught
Mech: Stone Giant
Bio: New to the Black Guard, Cpl McKnight is a transfer from the 1st Guards,
     also known as The Sons of the Emperor.  The 1st Guard is the Emperor's
     private unit, an though the transfer appears to have been voluntary,
     their seems to be some doubt as to this. In combat, he seems has
     no conpuncuations about taking on an enitre squad of mechs by himself.
Hook: Actually, Special Agent James McDuff, he's been assigned to the 7th
      to find out who murdered Sqaud Commnader Mazarim Tam.

Mech: LAM Mach-Five
Bio: As a child, "Black Cat" Catanelli earned her nickname (and now call sign)
     by always bringing unexplained disater to any oppenent who's path she
     crossed. An confident and excellent leader, she's perhaps a little too
     superstious at times.

Hook: Live Dangerous, be deadly, do a better job than anyone is Devlin's motto.
      He follows this creed to a flaw and sometimes takes unessarcy risks. His
      goal in life is to prove his superiority as a scout mech pilot.

[Support]

      She was later found on the battlefield half naked and blubbering
      non-scential things. After a month in recovering and therapy, she
      discovered she was pregnant.  After having the child, a girl, who she
      loves dearly, she decided that it was time to rid the world of people
      like her daughters father and has been doing so for five years now.
      Now, she must once again decide between helping a fallen human being,
      who may have the answer to who killed Mazarim Tam or ridding the world
      of him and sealing the fate of an innocent man.

[Support]
Gunnery Sgt. Daniel Ortega
Call Sign: Coyote
Mech: RDR-2 Roadrunner
Bio: The part of the dashing hero in battle, if their were really such a thing
     would definately be played by Daniel Ortega. And he knows it, often using

     the sly fox of Ghost Squad.

Squad Commnader, Theodore Yolinski
Call Sign: Paradox
Mech: Grand Archer
Bio: Having serverd the empire for countless years has taken it's toll on
     Theodore.  Having had approximately 85 percent of his body replaced with
     artifical, or cybernetic limbs gives him the sole distintion of being worth
     as much as his mech, and the only human ever to survive such
     reconstruction. No one is sure of his exact age, but it's rumored
     to be 129+ years.
Hook: Suspected of Killing Squad Commander Mazarim Tam, and being an enemy
      agent, he must stay alive to help catch the real

Call Sign: Zues
Mech: Megalith
Bio: Picture Zues with a beer gut and you've got Fred Reins.  In his middle
