Cage Midwell
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Blood Type: O
Occupation: Bonaparte III Crew Member

Description: A kindhearted, gentle youth. Began working on board the Bonaparte III along with Ares, whom he met a year earlier. Born 17 years ago to an unknown mother on the cargo deck of the Midwell, which was smuggling illegal immigrants, Cage was raised on the ship by the Captain, who took the boy under his wing. Though he was treated well by fellow Midwell staff, Cage always harbored a feeling of loneliness and isolation in his heart, which translated into low self-esteem and overly passive behavior. When the Captain did and Midwell was deemed unfit for flight, Cage boarded Bonaparte III, where he met Ares. His new friendship with this boy, who was the same age as him and yet seemed so mature, had a profound effect on Cage, and helped him recover from his psychological wounds. However, the knowledge that he owes his rebirth to Ares has proven problematic in itself, as Cage depends on Ares entirely, and suspects that he will never be able to exist independently of him.

Ares Enduwa
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Blood Type: AB
Occupation: Bonaparte III Crew Member

Description: A co-worker of Cage aboard the Bonaparte III, a colonist spacecraft linking Earth and Mars. Having already worked on Bonaparte III for 4 months when Cage first boarded a year earlier, Ares showed Cage the ropes. Something of a genius, the normally taciturn Ares met Cage late one night after work when he was playing a "piano" that he had conjured by altering a program on a PC in the ship's lobby. Cage happened upon his impromptu concert and was so moved that he began talking to him. At first, Ares was irked by the intrusion, but he eventually gave in to Cage's perseverance and found himself, much to his own surprise, becoming Cage's friend and looking after him. Fellow Bonaparte staff dubbed the unlikely pair "The Eighth Wonder Of Bonaparte."

Myona Alderan
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Blood Type: A

Description: A mysterious girl found hiding in a storage room on board the Bonaparte III. Since the accident involving the unidentified object, she sticks with Cage and his group. Having suffered retrograde amnesia since the incident, what little personal information that is known of Myona has been pieced together based on occasional hints about her past. Though she sometimes hints at a determined and headstrong personality hidden deep inside, she is shy and rarely acts aggressively. Serious yet somehow flighty, she also seems slightly imbalanced, which may have something to do with her loss of memory…

Pharsti
Gender: n/a - artificial intelligence
Age: n/a
Blood Type: n/a

Description: The "Navigation Program" installed in the vehicle boarded by Cage and Myona immediately following the Bonaparte III's collision with the unidentified object. In these days, when voice-activated OS are a dime a dozen, he (she?) is special, incorporating highly advanced technology not found in other programs on LEVs. What secrets could possibly lie hidden in its creation? (note: Pharsti is the ADA type program found on Testament. This description from the game is merely meant to be some form of teaser)

Razma Cascade Jr.
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Blood Type: A

The skirt-chasing troublemaker of BIS, he is surprisingly reliable where is counts. Somewhat childish, but also remarkably perceptive sometimes. A gifted sharpshooter with excellent hearing and eyesight. Seems to have a thing for Semyl, but nothing has materialized as of yet. His only family is his sick mother, who tells him that his father was a "high-profile Earthling"; however, they have never spoken with one another. Obsessed with the idea of the father he never met, he may have found a paternal figure in Deckson…

Tadamichi E. Yukito
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Blood Type: AB

Ardent fan of and expert in old-school sci-fi, low-budget movie stars, and 20-21st century Japanimation. Deeply involved in his own world, he is fiercely individual and mature in his self-assurance. Raised in a very proper, traditional family consisting of his father and his siblings, he ignored his family's wishes for him to join the corporate pack, stating, "Suits don't become me," and left home. The rest is history.

(note from Eli: One of my fav characters. Always throwing in random lines that seem misplaced from hero and rival fight scenes and random nonsensical quotes about life that seem to have no relevancy on anything. Plus he strikingly looks like Max Sterling from Macross and his LEV has huge blades mounted to it's legs for incredible kicks!)

Warren Lumenlux
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Blood Type: A

Prudent and overly cautious, he is often the butt of jokes; regardless, he is trusted for his knowledge and experience. A former mercenary, he always wears black sunglasses and does not speak much, giving him the aura of the "consummate professional." Once an expert gunman, he gave up his profession after an accident in which he mistakenly shot a young female hostage. Following the event, he wandered from place to place, eventually ending up in BIS on Mars. Has romantic feelings for a certain BIS member, but, not being very suave, has not yet succeeded in winning her over.

Philbright
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Blood Type: AB

Full name "Philbright Westriverside Warehouserock XXVI." Excels in household chores such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry. Easily frazzled. Because of his long, beribboned blond hair and his high-pitched voice, he is often mistaken for a girl. Phil owes his long name to his "father," who believed an old superstition that luck comes to people with long names. He grew up in a happy family among many unrelated siblings, but tragedy struck one day when his "father" sampled a medication which induced a sudden fit of insane violence. Confused and horrified, Phil was able to defend himself from the savage attack, but when he came back to his senses, his entire family, including his father, was dead. The manufacturer of the medicine attempted to cover up the incident and lay the blame on Phil, at which time Deckson rescued the unfortunate youth and took him under his wing. Now a BIS member support officer, he has a crush on Myona…

Deckson Geyse
Gender: Male
Age: 42
Blood Type: O

Founder and father figure of BIS. Believing that he merely lent a hand to the Mars Resistance movement, he does not realize the full extent of his influence in Martian politics, although he would gladly give his life to support the cause. A family man, he used to be an officer in the UNSF, where he enjoyed moderate success, but was divorced by his wife due to long work hours. Having lost his main motivation in life and besieged with guilt over his participation in the Enders, he left the UNSF and began to research the strange goings-on brought on by Earthlings, earning him both friends and foes along the way. His support base continued to grow, and eventually formed BIS.

Robin O'Connell
Gender: Female
Age: 33
Blood Type: O

BIS's main sponsor. Roughly 90% of BIS capital comes from the Robin Foundation, and underground group run by Robin herself. Boasting a wide network of connections and tremendous resources, the group does whatever is can to assist BIS, from procuring power source units and other parts for army machine prototypes to finding maintenance experts and catching fugitives. A beautiful but tough businesswoman-type, she is nurturing and motherly toward BIS members.

Twede Gray
Gender: Male
Age: 30's
Blood Type: unknown

Robin's secretary. Cloaked head-to-toe in black with dark sunglasses and black gloves, he rarely speaks and almost never reveals any of his emotions. Keen and observant, he is almost psychic in his understanding of people; he is precise and swift in his work, often getting the job done before others even think of asking him to take care of it.

Dezeele Zephyrs
Gender: Male
Age: 49
Blood Type: B

High-ranking officer from Earth. Has a tendency to look down on others, but will not tolerate others doing the same to him. Convinced that he is better than anyone, he is self-centered and feels no guilt for all the suffering he has caused in his career. Born to a poverty-stricken household as the youngest child, he harbors a resentment toward all people who are rewarded with money and opportunity despite a profound lack of talent. This resentment caused him to turn his talents toward getting ahead at all costs. After gaining success as a scientist, he quickly moved up the hierarchy to his current position as Lab Supervisor. While he is disliked, nobody dares cross him because he is as influential as he is unpleasant. (note: Directly responsible for the Animus system and the creation of Testament and Iblis. Also responsible for several horrid attacks on Mars civilians in attempts to reclaim Testament. Was also involved in genetic breeding involving specially breed humans designed to better interface with OFs)
