Summary

The player character party — a small unit of special operators from various NATO nations assigned to The Defense Contractor program. This is the “my unit” referenced in Guy LeFleur’s Sense of Duty disadvantage.

Members

  • Guy LeFleur — Canadian, JTF 2 (former), demolitions specialist, extraordinarily lucky pyromaniac
  • Ronnie Vint — British, 22 SAS (Mobility Troop), CQB specialist, petty criminal
  • Jens Hartmann — German, KSK (Kampfschwimmer), combat diver / demolitions, precision engineer
  • Sammy Castaneda — American, US Navy SEAL, dual-wielding pistoleer, psionic danger sense, weirdness magnet

Role in Campaign

The core PC group. Bonds formed in the field create the Sense of Duty that drives characters to risk themselves for each other.

Mission Record

Mission Target Outcome Payout
Operation Living Bomb (Session 01) Capture The Exploding Man alive Success — target captured and delivered to NATO base $150,000 per operator

Team Dynamics (Session 01)

  • Ronnie Vint and Sammy Castaneda have an antagonistic relationship — Ronnie suggested a card game with his own deck, tried to palm the aces, lost anyway, then accused innocent Sammy of cheating and knocked the cards off the table (Bad Temper)
  • Guy LeFleur spotted Ronnie palming the aces but said nothing — giving him quiet leverage over Ronnie
  • Sammy Castaneda operates as the stealth/infiltration element — silently killed two sentries solo
  • Guy LeFleur is the tactical thinker — identified safe-path markers, rigged booby traps, timed the grenade throw
  • Ronnie Vint is the heavy firepower — manned the .50 cal, aggressive in combat
  • Jens Hartmann provides precision — long-range pistol shot, disarmed tripwire, spotted the target in the cave
