Red vs. Blue kind-sorta takes place in the universe of the Halo, roughly set against the backdrop of the Human-Covenant ( AKA: Religious Fanatic Aliens r' Us ) war. Most of it takes place in a canyon pretty damn isolated in the rest from the rest of the world, or indeed, the rest of the known universe, where two arbitrarily divided armies are apparently fighting out a human civil war, battling for control over some bases that -- really don't seem to have much strategic value. Most of these soldiers seem kind of resigned to the apparent pointlessness of their job, and their everyday lives consisted of trashtalking the other team and being annoyed by random mercenary "Freelancers

Personality:"Dude? You guys are some cold motherfuckers." -- Private Leonard L. Church. Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction, episode six.
Wash is a lot of things, but cold motherfucker is probably a good start.
Wash is a hardened military operative, and this makes up the core of who he is -- when you're in the army, when you're in the army special ops, and especially when you're in the army super-top-secret-special-ops-unit-which-pushes-the-boundaries-of-war-ethics, being a cold motherfucker is pretty much what it's about. He takes war, violence and fighting in his stride, and infact feels very at home on a battlefield. Years of training have taught him to be ruthlessly efficient and deadly, alone or in a squad, and while he was never the best of Freelancer's operatives, he's still capable of taking out an enemy squadron by himself without breaking a sweat, maybe even a missile-launching helicopter or two. With that kind of a lifestyle, there's very little time to stop and mourn the dead, and very little time to think about the moral
( ... )
WASHINGTON, part iii.ilkantaJuly 9 2010, 16:24:53 UTC
So yeah, Wash is done playing the nice guy. He's done with trust and loyalty and that whole noble thing, he's done with all this shit, and there's a bigger plan, there's always a bigger plan to keep marching on towards his objective ( which is, ultimately, revenge against Freelancer for that crazy-thing ), but right now he's just a little tired of everything. He's tired of negotiating, tired of diplomacy, tired of trying to do things the right way and trying to have a vague moral compass when people who do things the wrong way keep getting the best of him. He's had a long couple of months in prison to think on it.
And he'd negotiated his way out, with a pretty little price tag, but Wash knows that it can't be that easy, that the Chairman that got him out was also the one who put him there to begin with. He has no interest in being screwed over, againHe used to be pretty damn touchy about people calling him crazy, talking about the Project, about the Director, about Epsilon, and he still is, but it's different. It's not that he ever

Abilities and Weaknesses:Wash is still human, but he's essentially a supersoldier. While possessing no supernatural abilities of any kind, he does however have that bitchin' armor, which amplifies his already significant aptitude as a soldier to a ridiculous degree. It makes him stronger, faster, a lot harder to kill, and basically, it'd be a really bad idea to piss him off. He's regarded as average, among Freelancer operatives, not the greatest but not terrible either, but he still managed to take out a missile-launching helicopter on his own, from the ground, armed with nothing but a battle rifle

Personality: Grid differs from the average xenomorph. Learning at an increased rate to her broodmates, Grid is better able to understand and make sense of her surroundings and experiences. Even after repeated encounters with the Predators she survives, and even kills several, while her broodmates are not so fortunate, in due part to the fact she can look at a situation and decide if she'll have the advantage or not. Observational learning, problem solving, and basic reasoning all come to her easily, and make her a dangerous opponent in the field. She knows a Predator can fuck her up bad, while a human makes for much easier prey--unless they're armed, and oh boy does she know that guns = bad. If she realizes she's in a position to be harmed she has no issue with sitting back and letting her broodmates rush ahead, or even with retreating outright. Given the opportunity, and if she's permitted, she's just as happy to hang out in the background and simply observe, learning and observing with an almost childlike curiosity.

Personality: Despite an effort of not anthropomorphizing the character in favor of keeping true the basic, predatory instincts of the animal, Raptor Red’s distinctive, spunky personality shines through in both actions and thought-process. The author offers “translations” of the character’s thoughts in italics, ie “If Raptor Red’s thoughts could be put into language, they’d be, Males are such liars. I’m a bit underweight-but I don’t cover up my parasites. That bug-bitten loser is lucky I didn’t slice him into little pieces.” (37.) This is the attitude and voice that will be used for her ‘human’ personality

Hanna Falk Cross (2/4)idkmybffzombieAugust 12 2010, 16:54:10 UTC
Setting:
Hanna's world is an urban fantasy/horror take on the modern day major American coastal city. All urban devices and trappings are here, implied by the author if not depicted outright, but the real world coexists alongside the supernatural. So far we've met a zombie, several vampires, a werewolf, a ghost and a half-selkie (and who knows what Hanna is). Knowledge of the occult is esoteric but the circles Hanna moves in are usually just as aware of them as he is; if they aren't, they learn to stop being skeptics soon enough.
Magic among humans is decidedly rare, and not recommended, as it apparently corrupts their blood and causes other ill effects. Hanna shows signs of having literally devoted his body to the craft, to who knows what ultimate price. Even vampires find him creepy and say he stinks of death, and this is a guy who's partners with a zombieThere's little direct acknowledgement as to the power behind supernatural beings, like, for instance, if zombie still has a soul or how long Conrad will be able to sustain

Hanna Falk Cross (3/4)idkmybffzombieAugust 12 2010, 16:55:14 UTC
Personality (cont'd):
In short, he's internally as much as child as he appears outwardly. It's partly a defense mechanism, of course, regressing toward innocence to cover for the loss of it brought on by what happened in his past. And nowhere is he more innocent than when it comes to women and romance. Word of god confirms he's never had a girlfriend, and for how eager he is to flirt until they serve him a restraining order, it's clearly not for lack of trying or interest. That's inherent in his romanticism and immaturity, though: if I had to project based on the material given, I'd say that just like Conrad, Hanna's idealism about relationships is in conflict with reality.
Nevertheless, Hanna's proven to be highly intelligent and serious-minded when the situation calls for it, though he can only keep a pretense of professionalism so long before the stumbling fanboy pokes through again. Hey, at least he's trying.
Abilities and Weaknesses:
"Rotten hollow shell of a boy."Hanna is able to use magic through a combination of the runes

Hanna Falk Cross (4/6) I CAN NEVER DO THEM RIGHTidkmybffzombieAugust 12 2010, 16:57:03 UTC
Appearance:
HE'S NOT A TEENAGER! Despite his unimpressive stature (5'3") and boyish looks, Hanna is a young adult with a stringy lean kind of musculature, pale skin and fiery red curls. He's got the nerdy/slob/preppy look down pretty pat when in conjunction with his glasses, which makes him a good fit for a private investigator in one respect, at least: he doesn't look like a professional so much as someone's younger brother.
In short: is "Jewish moe" a term? Because this kid's got pure Anton Yelchin going on.
Anyway, that's above the collar. His torso and shoulders, though usually hidden, are covered in runic tattoos like the ones he writes on himself for spells, and the skin of his chest has been hideously cut open and stapled back shut again (as seen in this icon). He probably shouldn't actually be alive, as it's clear whatever's keeping him upright and talking is supernatural, and it probably isn't meant to last either
