Kazei 5

• Bakeneko
• Carlos Jagger (a.k.a. Enforcer): Jagger stands about 5'11" and weighs close to 450 lbs. The cosmetic surgery he received has removed most signs of age from his face, but he somehow still exudes the image of a veteran. His eyes are gun-metal gray and utterly without life. His dark brown hair is thinning in front, and his skin still shows some signs of the extensive scarring he suffered. His cybernetic limbs mimic the shape of natural arms and legs, but are colored in the same metallic gray of an average handgun. He is usually dressed in the classic plainclothes cop suit, with a black string tie and shades to spruce up the image. While he does not try to disguise his cyberwear, he makes a point of not advertising it, making it more effective as a deterrent if a confrontation is likely.
• Chance Devreaux
• Deathwish (a.k.a. Scorpion, a.k.a. Scorp)
• Kenji Izuhara (a.k.a. Ronin): Kenji is in his late 30's, and of about average height (for a Japanese). His hair is cropped short, except at the back, where it's grown out into a foot-long ponytail, which Kenji normally wears braided. He appears tanned, trim, and fit, and has the smooth, flowing movement that inform knowledgeable observers that Kenji has had extensive cyber augmentation. Kenji's only visible cyberware is his right eye and arm, although a datajack has been implanted discreetly behind the right ear. Most of the time Kenji wears a skin-like glove to conceal his arm, and mirror sunglasses to conceal the eye. When uncovered, the arm is revealed to be lacquered a hyper-glossy black, trimmed with gold, and decorated with swirling gold lotus vine patterns. This rather ostentatious decoration, together with the fact that he has only a single cybereye, should tell anyone that his cyberware is top of the line, since it involved the implantation of compensating software so as not to conflict with information from his natural body. When not dressed for combat (in which case Kenji would be wearing his red and blue powersuit), Kenji favors expensive silk suits for business, or heavy (but stylish) armored jackets for partying in the Zero Zone. In other words, he dresses like a flip, up-and-coming executive.
• Kenwood Muldowney (a.k.a. Doc): Doc is tall and broad shouldered, with a well muscled form. His blond hair is cropped short, in the military style, topping a stern, square-jawed face. Doc usually dresses in simple fatigues, whether on duty or off. In his medical lab he will add a white lab coat, and a broad-brimmed Stetson is worn at all times. On a combat mission, Doc will dress in full armor, complete with helmet.
• Mojo
• Patricia McIntyre (a.k.a. Tammy Tyler, a.k.a. Blade): Blade is 19 years old, medium height, and slender—perhaps to the point of having a childlike figure. Her eyes are green and her hair, though naturally blonde, is frequently dyed and cut and/or styled in exotic fashions, then periodically grown out to it's natural color again. Blade wears ear-cuffs, and a necklace, with a small dagger pendant dangling off of them during her waking hours. In combat situations, or when expecting trouble, Blade wears a reinforced black leather jacket and slacks, accented with the obligatory white belt, and low heeled leather boots. She will usually wear a shirt with some variety of cut-outs underneath the jacket. Around the base she tends towards t-shirts, jeans, and sport shoes. When in the city (usually when visiting 'the sibs') she'll wear conservative dress suits, often in powder blue or violet, with coordinating handbags, tights, and medium heeled shoes. When on a date she will dress to please her current boyfriend—whether that means donning a child-like sailor dress or a low-cut/high-cut backless sheath.
• Ryan Summer Mckee: Ryan is a good-looking young man of medium build with a fair complexion, pale green eyes and straight black hair. Ryan is equally comfortable in a tuxedo or ragged jeans and T-shirt, although he prefers the casual look of the latter. If the situation requires it he will adopt the formal look of gray suit, white shirt and corporate tie. In any case, Ryan prefers to tuck his sidearm out of the way in a shoulder holster. Out of habit, Ryan keeps his hair cut short and is always clean-shaven. Ryan's left arm is cybernetic. He has covered it with a simple synthetic-skin overlay, since it will attract less attention that way.
• Takada Johnson (a.k.a. Takada Shima, a.k.a. Solomon Grundy): Takeda appears as a young man with dark hair and eyes. He is wiry rather than muscular, and about 5'10" tall. Not unhandsome, but nothing spectacular. In all ways he appears as a relatively normal human being, although the intensity of his gaze betrays the force of his personality. He usually wears jeans and a T-shirt, regardless of the weather.
• William (Billy) Leo (a.k.a. Pansy): No longer a member

• Charley - replicants & psychokinetics
• Ian Henderson - pilot
• Oscar - corporations
• Sudo Shihei - combat trainer
• Temple - Temple is a Mitsumi Lynx Class Security Synthetic, a rather common and popular line of replicants designed for a wide range of tasks. As with all Lynxes, Temple stands about 5'10" and weighs about 140 lbs with a trim, well-proportioned build. Her waist-length hair is a bright electric blue, a sharp contrast to her soft blue eyes, and she possesses the distinctive cat-like ears common to both Lynx and Puma synthetics. A good way to judge Temple's reactions to people and situations is by her ears: the flatter they are, the more unhappy she is. Outwardly, Temple is quiet and reserved and usually dresses in a simple, black, one-piece bodysuit, with matching boots. Over this she wears a tan, short-sleeved jacket that covers her to about mid-thigh. Her hair is bound at the back of her neck and worn in a simple ponytail.
