Sheryl

Bisexual, Sheryl is actually a guy, despite his name, 6'0", he has gorgeous caramel skin, he is Portuguese from Brazil, with a black grandmother, he has a number of tattoos on the right side of his body, along the front and back of his torso down his upper leg and arm, in dark magenta smart ink, when his blood chemistry changes, for instance, under sexual arousal they glow neon pink, and under adrenaline they glow bright white. He is a model and cam boy for a living, but he works at a loading and unloading cargo ships when they land to keep his figure and keep him grounded, a total dom, though he’s bisexual he feels rather no emotional connection to women, he is very popular for sleeping with his fans and signing autographs, he however, cannot take sadism being dished back to him.

He is shady and kind of a creep, sleazy, and the butt of many jokes about him creeping on people or being a rapist, but when push comes to shove, nobody doubts that he would never cross that line and his friend’s trust in him is implicit. His preferred weapon is razor wire. He is very sketchy, a total sleaze bag, but is a good man at heart, and it’s all just jokes, he lives in an apartment in Seattle, earning a living as a e-sex boy, selling himself as the perfect boyfriend with a new fantasy each episode.

He is a jaded playboy whose emotions have become dulled and his heart numb, a lazy sleaze who only goes for one night stands, he works at a loading dock during the day to cover up that he's a gay cam boy at night. He now only finds meaning with his friends, not relationships, and is always quick to give a bullshit rationale behind his subdued feelings. His persona is that of the perfect boyfriend, and each show is a diffrent fantasy, rich boyfriend, football boyfriend, etc, where he dresses up, strips, and jerks off while telling a sex story, this is a persona however, and while he may sleep with his fans ocasionally wearing this mask, he will never use it on his friends because he genuinely cares about them and won’t lie for their affection.

He lives in one of the penthouse apartments in the new shopping district.

Hunter

Flippy - Bisexual

Hunter is tall 6'2", pale, gold eyes, mint blond hair with an undercut, revealing dark green roots. He has hairy legs but fuzz everywhere else, thick pubes, he is very lanky but shredded as fuck, born in 2055, he's one of the youngest Skullz. Hunter is a military fanboy and went to work as a mercenary when he turned 15, after his conventional basic training regimen he was fitted with a new experimental psyberware implant to give him psychic senses, however further training proved to stressful for the implant, the interferes fucks with his brain chemistry, giving him PTSD and fragments of a split personality, while it should let him know about enemies and other combat data the implant keeps trying to predict combat patterns based on psychic insight, creating a kind of fake, forced memory, literally a fase traumatic flashback. The defects in the implant detectors create "ghosts" as they overreact to residual psychic energy even when the originator is gone, though they don't always come from the dead. The implant does make him master at hand to hand combat, helping him develop expert strategizing and tactical problem solving skills, and gain the ability to wield any weapon he might find on the battlefield without prior knowledge of its specific operating principles, and give him savant shooting capabilities, essentially making Hunter an ace combatant with the skills of a war weary veteran with decades of service.

The few trainees with this new, powerful, but entirely experimental implant experienced some side effects, while Hunter gained skills equal to a highly trained and accomplished veteran he also developed PTSD and Dissociative Personality Disorder, although he has no actual memories of these events, he still has the traumatic experiences, when triggered, he takes on a highly confident, sleazy, violent, and aggressive persona that can make full use of his super soldier skills. Hunter suffer nightmares over these experiences, with his mind filling in the missing details with images of his friends, family, and his home, he is haunted by the deaths of friends and comrades, brothers, that are still alive, and sees his hands as having been stained by the blood of atrocities that have never actually happened. This has subjected Hunter to constant accusations of faking his war experiences to get attention, which is part of the reason he’s been adopted by Dean Shinwoo.

Hunter is a bit socially timid and nerdy, kind but shy, unaware of his sex appeal and charm, gets too caught up nerding out over Bear being an Alien to remember he was trying to get laid. He and the ‘other hunter’ share the same underlying personality and contectome, the other hunter simply has different traits at the forefront of his personality,  he is simply a different mask over the real Hunter, just a different elaboration of his personality. Hunter is descended from Americans, but is extremely skilled with the Russian language and much of his specific knowledge is about Russian weapons technology and military techniques - he likely is from a now defunct Russian paramilitary contractor group, since the experiment obviously failed, he was simply thrown out as a useless asset during bankruptcy.

Hunter is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, shy and quiet but also confident in himself and his value as a person, he is very strong willed, manly, but not loud - he is however, very dangerous under the right circumstances, though he has never harmed anyone, including himself, without sufficient cause, he is Dean Shinwoo's roommate and Dean has essentially taken legal custody of him, Dean, a veteran, will hurt anybody who tries to deny Hunter the respect a veteran is due, even if the war Hunter fought isn't real, he's still been to hell and back.

Hunter Adventures without armor, and fights with various styles of gun.

Dean and Hunter live inside a cargo container together, they have two bunk beds, one with a couch underneath and the other a TV, along with a small kitchen and fully stocked bathroom. There are plenty of windows and too many guns for anybody nearby to feel reasonably safe.

Beck

Going by Beck only, 186 (6'1"), a buffoonish man with a gaudy taste for gold, he is quite tall and always found in a bright gold business suit with a black tie, with a curl of naturally golden blond hair, and golden brown eyes, a few shades richer than Mitsuo's honey brown. He is a womanizing sleaze who's also into dudes. He was a petty criminal in old new york, moving across the countryside always a step ahead of the authorities, eventually joining the Skullz in the old United States, where Mitsuo convinced him to go legit, starting his own weapons dealing firm just outside the Seattle Stacks in the huge swath of junkyards surrounding the city. While he may be a buffoon he is also a genius - a tech savant who can patch together any technology he finds, an IQ of roughly 210, but he's a classic underachiever who took to petty crime to get through life the easy way. His color scheme is gold and black, his taste is gaudy and tacky gold gold gold.

Beck is no introvert but he is an almost autistic weirdo, he has great charisma. He was too smart for school, and became a petty criminal in old New York City, the famous city of lights, with its downtown having been hit by a direct nuclear strike during the seven hours war. He ended up drifting across the county, committing progressively more and more sophisticated high tech crimes, before setting up shop as an Arms Dealer in the rump republic before the government could manage to pin any crimes on him.

He’s good at getting tech to do Science, he can hook up any tech system into any other tech system, including with effort, Insanon technology. Beck fanboys about the ‘Alien’ whenever in Anep’s presence, and for the most part Beck is a fanboy, but he is also still a sleazy but charismatic ladies man. Beck can't actually have a functional relationship, fuck yes, but love is too much for his lightning quick brain to deal with. He is the only natural psychic in the Skullz, his power is great enough that no scientific test in his vicinity can be taken as accurate, but primarily his ability allows machines to “yell back” at him, a form of technotelepathy.

Living in his own junkyard on the edge of Hellawes, with some greenhouses, and piles of old cars. He refurbishes military mechas and other robotic technology, weapony, and high technology, for his business, as a private technology contractor, focusing on cybernetics, robotics, and other heavy technologies, supplying people who would otherwise be unable to access this tech at reasonable prices, he even has access to decommissioned military technology, contracting with several local police forces and private security firms, as well as maintaining and refurbishing android companions and pet robots, and other such autonomous mechanical devices.

Beck has produced a technology called the Advanced Generation Device; this is a standard issue, if older, auto fabrication which is run by a trio of personality transplants based on Beck himself, these ais take relevant data and use evolutionary algorithms to enhance the products they produce; this device is used in Beck's work, but has also produced the highly specialized and useful armors and weapons the Skulls use in Ruin Delving; taking readings from sensors built into them and data contextual data to produce more advanced gear after each fight; often by using materials scavenged from the ruins themselves.

Rivals with Walker, sometimes bitter, sometimes friendly, both competing to be the smartest man in the gang, though Walker helps him out of programming jams every now and then; including with his Advanced Generation Device. He is equipped with two brain implant chips, running two distinct copies of his personality in parallel; which are always communicating with him to help him decide on the best course of action by providing him with an inner voice with two counter perspectives; these are two scaled down versions of the three AIs used in the AGD.

Whether they realize it or not; Beck and Anep only communicate by flirting; both are highly intelligent and both have a strong interest in each other's thoughts and opinions; unlike Walker, who finds Anep mildly annoying, Beck loves talking with Anep, and has a slight crush on him; with Mitsuo inviting Beck to have sloppy seconds from time to time.

Physically, Beck is a tall thin man, with no real muscle tone, and average amount of body hair; but Anep considers him one of the most attractive men in the gang. Beck Fanboys over everything Op̄tr, and loves the theorize about how they work even when they defy all human understanding; having figured out that the halo-like devices used for Op̄tr gravity control operate as Radion Accelerators to generate both gravity and anti-gravity; also figuring out this is how Anep’s halo works; simply producing light as a byproduct of the loop’s inefficiencies.

Beck created Mitsuo and Anep’s wedding rings by working small bits of Op̄tr metal, though he isn’t exactly sure why one of the metal rings on Mitsuo’s turned black. He performs maintenance on Dotty, but they consider each other Brother and Sister and have no romantic feelings for one another; she often tries to set him up on dates with men to fangirl over him.

Egor

Egor Shao, a strange mix, half Chinese and half Russian, he is extremely tall, slightly taller than even Mitsuo at 6'10", he has short light brown hair that curls slightly and pointy sideburns, and pale blue eyes, he is always sharply dressed, with a darker steel blue high collar sweater under a nice black dress jacket with matching pants and dark red dress shoes. He is a gentleman and cheerful, he can be very intimidating when he wants, he never carries a weapon with him, and will instead improvised weapons on the spot and is an expert at non-lethal combat and capture, making him a natural bounty hunter. He was raised as an assassin, and primarily worked for a shady pharmaceutical company called Nebula, before deciding to try and turn his life around, he worked various jobs along the coast before meeting Nanu, pizza boy, bartender, delivery boy, mover, he does it all. He is a gentleman in bed too, with a classy no-homo bro sentiment as he plows with precision and no wasted movements. He is very good at cheerful intimidation. Assassin Skull, he is Aromatic like Nanu but is platonically bisexual.

Egor is not officially a Skull, like Nanu, but he is treated as a hired gun, and is well aware of Nebula and Anep, his apartment has only enough room for a bed, TV, couch, coffee table, and a very small fully functional kitchen. He works as a pizza delivery boy locally, with a crappy car that can’t really lose any more value if something bad happens. Egor fights with an unornamented sword that vibrates at extreme speed, and a large rapid firing gun. He lives on the other side of the duplex with Nanu.
