General Info: Tamara is the daughter of the deceased former mayor of Centerpoint City. Her parents died when Robotniks beseiged the city after Mobotropolis fell. She and a few others escaped to the great Forest and set up a village to keep safe from Robotnik's machines. The only possession she was able to escape with was her father's old flight jacket, something she treasures deeply.

She was a bright young girl and was schooled by the best teachers in the city. Her talents in strategy and diplomacy continued to grow as she planned raids against the city and dealt with other Freedom Fighter groups. The other Centropolis Freedom Fighters and villagers trust "Patches," as they affectionately call her due to her multi-colored coat of fur, with their well-being. While she doesn't participate in the raids themselves very often, she does keep an ear open on the communications equipment for any trouble and to guide her team when they are in harm's way. Tammy is also one of the few people who can calm Kaige down when he is enraged. Her closest friends are Kaige, Ed, Carmen, and Barren.

Tamara used to have a close relationship with Carmen, but now she is on her own figuratively speaking. They still are close friends but Tammy is still getting over a few things. She has a lot that she needs to figure out for herself. She confides in her second-in-command who is always there to lend her an ear or shoulder when needed.

With the growing Freedom Fighter Network, Tamara finds herself busier than ever. Princess Sally has sent her several new Freedom Fighters to help deal with the rising new threats in Centropolis. The calico will have to make sure all her battle plans and tactical strategies are in order. The fledgling Freedom Fighter Network can ill afford any losses in the fight against the tyranny of Robotnik and his forces.

Occupation: Second-in-command of the Centropolis Freedom Fighter
Gear: Thick hide, sharp claws and teeth, fire-breath, strong tail, gear belt.

General Info: At the age of fourteen, Kaige was separated from his clan when they were betrayed and sold out to Robotnik by a dirty bounty hunter named Dirk. It is an event that Kaige blames himself for even to this day since he was the one who brought the betrayer into their home. Because of this Kaige is now wary of outsiders until they earn his respect. The new freedom fighter additions to the village are no different. Kaige trusts Sally's judgement but old habits die hard. Since dealing with Nack and Ryan, the dragon has mellowed a slight bit in this regard but still does not immediatly trust people he does not know. He lost his family once to Robotnik's roboticizer for his being naively trusting of a stranger. He won't let it happen again.

Like many of his species, Kaige has a hot temper and can get angry very quickly. He also tends to be very honest and very stubborn about things he likes or dislikes. On the flip side, Kaige also has a thoughtful part to him that he shows to people he trusts the most. Kaige has the tendency to playfully joke with and tease the people he likes, but he never goes to far with it. His two main targets of this particular affection are the two lovebirds Carmen and Eddie. At times when he is happy and content, he has been known to purr like a cat.

On the outside Kaige seems very brave and confident but inside he is very afraid, not afraid for himself but for his new family. He almost lost them several times during the Lt. Series mission. Something that he has not been able to forgive himself for. He will willingly put himself in grave danger in order to make sure his friends are safe. They are all he has left and they are more precious to him than any amount of gold or silver. The dragon owes them his life and so much more.

Kaige's species of dragon is more anthropomorphic than other species such as Dulcy's. He is incredibly strong and well versed in close quarters combat. In fact, his favorite method of destroying SWATbots is tearing them apart with his bare claws. He carries everything he needs in his gearbelt, which Eddie Markus designed for him, ranging from comlinks, small demolition charges, dragon sized binoculars, and anything else that may be required for a mission. If a mission gets hot, Kaige introduces his own heat by inhaling deep and releasing a stream of very hot flames at his opponents.

Recently, Kaige's guilt and fears have manifested themselves in violent nightmares that leave him emotionally and mentally shaken. He currently hides this from the others as he believes that he needs to be seen as a strong second-in-command of the village and that showing weakness would be a great dishonor to himself and his ancestors, especially his father. His inner demons however are getting worse and may start to affect his performance and well-being if he does not find a way to deal with them soon.

His general duties for the Centerpoint Freedom Fighters include aerial recon, forcible SWATbot dismantling, occaisional guard duty, and now seemingly making sure an ex-mercenary pulls his weight in the village. With new dangers brewing in Centropolis, Kaige has to be extra vigilant to make sure his "Clan" remains safe from harm. His best friends and family in the village are: Carmen (his "little sister"), Tamara ("Patches"), Ed, and a fox cub named Barren. And although he would never admit it, Kaige also cares about the well-being of a certain slacker and his family who recently came to stay in the village with them. His relationship with Carmen Rosemary is especially close. They see each other as brother and sister and act like it from playful squabbles and pranks to quiet moments with each other.

Species: Koala
Gender: Female

General Info: Carmen grew up in Centerpoint with her mother, a nurse at the local clinic. By the age of 12 Carmen had already began working to follow in her mother's footsteps, attending various nursing classes at the university and quickly growing up to be a highly intelligent young woman.

It was during her 13th birthday when life was taken from her; Swat-bots crashed through her home. Her one and only friend in her young life was the first to fall victim to the might of the machines that burst into her home. Carmen never saw exactly what happened to her, but her friend’s blood curdling cries for help was enough for her to fear the worse. During the confusion, Carmen’s mum ordered her to hide in the bedroom, and it was in her bedroom hiding in the closet, that she saw her mother’s body riddled with laser fire. A scene her mind would relive many times over as she grew older.

Like many children during Robotnik’s takeover, Carmen fled into the Great Forest for hope of escape and in search of a new home. Now, ten years on, she is part of a small group of freedom fighters and plays her part as the local medic. Being the village nurse, Carmen makes sure to keep a good relationship with everyone around here, she believes that mental health is as important as physical, and all though she doesn’t have any true skills in psychology, she makes it her every effort to be aware of any problems and issues that may dwell in the minds of her friends. Healing comes from many fronts.

Carmen would have everyone around her believe that she is against violence and the usage of weapons because she doesn’t agree with it, but deep down, she isn’t against it at all, it’s because she is afraid of it. Ever since she bore witness to her mother’s death at the use of a laser weapon, she had developed a fear for guns. It was that very fear that nearly cost not only her life but a friend’s life as well during the final stages of the LT mission.

Or though Carmen is surrounded by those she considers family, her heart has been yearning for love ever since the loss of her mother. It was because of that empty part inside of her that she grew close to the leader of her village, a female cat know as Tamara. She thought she was in love with this person but now, after falling for another, she came to realize that her love for Tamara was misguided and Carmen used her as a replacement for her dear old mum. It was because of that she could never let go of her mother’s death, it stayed within, never to move forward.

As weeks went by after the LT mission, she grew even closer to her love, to her Eddie. She has still yet to go that next step into their relationship, but as it stands now, she is happy with how things are between them. Or though she is content with her relationship, her dreams are still haunted by images of her mother’s death. Thinking that after breaking free from Tamara that she would be free from the troubling memory of ten years ago, but apparently, nightmares never go away.

Name: Edward Markus
Aliases: Ed, Eddie
Species: Wolf
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Hair/Fur: Brown w/Black and White highlights
Eyes: Grey
Height: 3 ft 10 in (116.8 cm)
Weight: 54 lbs (24.5 kg)

Unusual Traits: Quiet, shy, and uncertain of himself around strangers; because of that Ed is occasionally prone to stammering, particularly when nervous. He has low stamina and physical strength. Passable hand-to-hand combat and firearm skills, though he is not inclined to fight unless cornered or his friends are in danger.
Occupation: Freedom Fighter/Engineer
Gear: Various tools, gadgets, and electronic diagnostic equipement; a few energy weapons

General Info: Ed was born and raised in Centerpoint City, the only son of Randal and Sherrice Markus. His mother died when he was quite young, so he has no real memory or connection with her. Ed was raised solely by his father, an aerospace engineer. Even in his early years, he knew he wanted to do the same; his ultimate dream is to build spacecraft capable of exploring the solar system and go into space himself. At 16 he began attending post-graduate schools in Mobotropolis, then back in his hometown of Centerpoint; there he acquired his finishing degrees after a mere three years of college work. His primary areas of study were in computer programming and automation engineering; thanks to his diligence he finished at the top of his class and much sooner then most students in his field. Due to good references from both universities (and with the help of his dad) he got a job at a hovercraft manufacturing plant as a robotics technician. He planned to work there and get a few years of practical experience before applying with Centerpoint's local aerospace design forum.

During his college work in Centerpoint he fell in love and became engaged to a fellow student, Katrina Wetzel (a ferret). Only two months after they announced their engagement, Robotnik took over in Mobotropolis. In a decision he has always regreted, he and his love remained in Centerpoint in the hopes of aiding the city militia in resisting the tyrant. Within days however, Centerpoint had been smashed by the Swatbot forces and became host to a robotisizer. It was during those dark days that Ed lost both Katrina and his dad; he fled the city and holed up in a small cabin Randal had owned, deep in the Great Forest. He managed to hide alone there for a number of months before stumbling onto the local resistance, led by the young and tenacious Tamara DeClaws. Though he was older than most of the residents, he pledged his services under the tabby as mechanic and hacker.

Early on in the war, Ed had trouble connecting with the other villagers. He prefered to remain secluded in his cabin away from Centerpoint proper. Emotionally disconnected, he did not feel the need to socialize with his fellow Freedom Fighters and was inwardly bitter and disallusioned. His personal means of dealing with these feelings was to refine his design skills with regards to weaponry, a field most Mobians do not relate to. Ed began building a heavily armed combat robot and completed a number of plasma firearms. It was not until he opened up and began spending time with his comrades that he began to deal with his pain in a more healthy way. He gradually became closer to his friends and eventually fell in love again, though it was seven years before those feelings were expressed to Carmen Rosemary, the resident medic. Time will tell how much further their relationship will develop and how much more Ed himself will grow.

At the age of 10; the age Ryan was at when David was taken, Ryan started traveling trying to find a place to stay. Ryan had a brief time with a family in the small hidden village of Tree Point; before moving on at the age of 13 to find more ‘excitement’.

A couple of months after he left, Ryan took up the job of being mercenary. There was good pay in it, and all the excitement he could have. At the age of 14 Ryan was teamed up with Nack The Weasel. There mission was to find a Wolf by the name of Tory Hilo, and bring him back to their employer Gregory Inniss. The mission took about 4 months to complete, and during that time the 14 year old fox became really close to the 32 year old Weasel. The two partnered up a number of times after that. However Nack left on a mission and never returned. Ryan thinking he was killed, went on a separate path. However 3 years later the two cross paths, only to rejoin again during the famous LT.

General Info: Maxamillian Starlite is the only son of one Johnathan Starlite, Knight Regent of the house of Acorn. Johnathan attempted to warn the king of Julian's betrayal, being one of the many among his court who found him untrustworthy. But the king paid his warnings no heed. Johnathan was proven all too right on the day of Julian's appointment as Minister of Science, when bombs were set off all throughout the palace, and newly christened SWATbots flooded the court below them. Unfortunately, Johnathan was shot while trying to protect the king, and fell to the ground below. His young son, Maxamillian, was there to see all of this, and soon fled quickly into the woods with his best friend, a hedgehog who went by the name of Blade.

During the ten years Robotnik has been in power, Max and his friend have lived in hiding in the Great Forest, recently however, Blade was captured while scavenging near Robotropolis. Going by the alias Wildfire, and armed with his father's sword and a plasma pistol, Max attempted to free Blade from the doctor's grasp. Unfortunately, this rescue wasn't completely without casualty, as Blade's right arm ended up being robotosized. However, during the excursion, Wildfire was introduced to one Sonic the Hedgehog. After the ordeal, Blade had fainted, and so the pair were taken back to Knothole, where they have lived to this day.

In the weeks following the "Lt. Series" mission, Wildfire has been running missions alongside the Knothole Freedom Fighters. Still, his ears pricked when he caught word of a chance to return to Centerpoint Village and it's Freedom Fighters. He had a score to settle with those Lt. Bots...

Eyes: Brown
Height: 3 ft 7 in (109.2 cm)
Weight: 56 lbs (25.4 kg)

~ Dresses in a long-sleeved, dark green shirt and black pants with a multitude of pockets.

Unusual Traits: Absolutely loves candies.
Occupation: Freedom Fighter/Scout
Gear: Short stick of Mobian Ironwood. Small hold-out blaster. Compact gearpack with viewers, comm-units, and sensor equipment.

General info: Only child of a humble family living in Mobotropolis, Dorral's father was a confectioner earning his keep in the center of town. With the famous Chili Dog Stand right across the square, Dorral often exchanged friendly words with Sir Charles' nephew Sonic and the Princess Sally Acorn. Dorral was nearly captured during Julian's coup, but managed to escape after the ferver caused by the fleeing dragon Sabina with only the clothes on his back and the rare Mobian Ironwood stick his father had given to him the day before.

After wandering the Great Forest with other survivors, Dorral came to settle in Knothole Village. Recently promoted by the Freedom Fighters to act as a scout on missions in Robotropolis. His natural coloring and speed only enhance his passion for stealth and surveillence. Though he'd rather not, Dorral can fight with his short Ironwood staff. Fairly good at close-quarter combat, Dorral can also use his favorite hold-out blaster to keep most SWAT-Bots at bay until he can slip away or reinforcements arrive.

Dorral's other passion is confectioning. He is always making candies from the meager stores acquired from Robotropolis or from beehives farmed from the Great Forest. He carries a pack of sweets on him at ALL times, and is quite free at passing them out to the younger Mobians.

After the events taking place in the Lt. Project, the Knothole Freedom Fighters dispatched Dorral to bulk up the Centerpoint Freedom Fighters and help lighten the load on the current members.

Name: Boris Arenov
Aliases: Ace
Species: Husky
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Hair/Fur: Long White hair on head: Black and White Husky patterned fur
Eyes: Blue
Height: 3 ft 11 in (119.3 cm)
Weight: 75 lbs (34.02 kg)
Clothing: Jeans and Camo

Unusual Traits: Generally a very mellow guy, very few have ever seen him mad, even in battle. It takes a lot to push his buttons.
Occupation: Freedom Fighter/Demolitions
Gear: Assortment of Explosives, plasma pistol

General info: A very mellow guy who knows a thing or two about explosives. Since he was a little pup, Boris had always been obsessed with blowing things into tiny bits. His father was a demolition man as well, and taught Boris how to build explosives at a young age. He’s never managed to blow off a limb yet, as his father always taught him that safety came first.Boris has an old ancient acoustic guitar that he likes to play when he’s not putting together a bomb. He can play pretty well, but every now and then will hit a sour note.

Ever since Robotik invaded Mobius, Boris had always wanted to help fight him as much as he possibly could. The chance came when Princess Sally requested a demolitions expert to help aid the Centerpoint FF’s. Boris jumped at the chance to put his explosive knowledge to test. He hoped that somehow, he could contribute to the fall of Robotnik’s Empire.

Name: Barren
Aliases: None
Species: Fox
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Hair/Fur: Black/red
Eyes: Silver
Height: 2 ft 5 in (73.66 cm)

Unusual traits: He has a tendency to believe that he can preform anything that his hero Kaige can. Or though the difference between a full grown Dragon compared to a Fox child is somehow lost to little Barren.
Occupation: Freedom Fighter
Gear: No weapons of any kind. He was once found with a makeshift set of wings trying to take flight by leaping out of a tree. Needless to say, there was a flight path, and it went straight down. Again, the differences between a large Dragon and a small fox is somehow lost on poor Barren.

General info: At the time of the coup, he was no more than 1 years of age and he was found at the edge of the forest crying in the arms of a female Mobian. The female was dead, laser burns had riddled her body. It was Carmen Rosemary who had found him and it was Carmen who took him under her protection and fled deep into the forest. There was no name that was visible on him, or any indication on who his parents were. It was assumed that the female that was holding him when he was found was indeed his mother. As for his name, it was something Carmen had decided to call him the moment she found him.

He grew up under the love and watchful eyes of three Mobians. Tamara, Kaige and most of all, Carmen. He remembers nothing of his past, or his real family. His mother and his father are lost too his mind’s eye. He is even unsure on how he came to be with the band of freedom fighters he now lives with. The memory of him being found in the arms of the dead mobian eludes him even to this day.

If curiosity indeed did kill the cat, then idolization has very much doomed the fox. The adoration young Barren holds for Kaige is both his strong points and his weak points. In his mind, “If Big Red can, then I can too.” And it is that determination and devotion that drives him who he is. Too may times he has spent laying back in his bed healing from an injury that he had caused himself by proving time and time again just how well he can follow in Kaige’s footsteps.

All though he is very careless he is also a good hearted individual, polite and always cheerful. He has yet to go on any missions into enemy territory, and if Carmen has her way, he never will.
