== The Characters ==

So far the main emphasis of our input has been in the creation of our own spotlight characters, as follows:

; [[GWS:Landshark|Landshark]]
: (played by [[User:dunlaing|dunlaing]]) [[GWS:Devon McWilliams|Devon McWilliams]] was turned away from the Navy for being too short. It boiled his blood that he wouldn't be able to help out against the Nazis and Japanese, but it seemed like there was nothing he could do about it, at least until he got a call from his sister asking him to meet her in Washington, DC.  [[GWS:Devon McWilliams|Devon]]'s sister was busy getting ready when he arrived, but she had left a pitcher of drinks on the table, so he helped himself. When [[GWS:Julia|Julia]] came out, she was shocked to see her brother drinking her experimental [[GWS:Shark Repellant|Shark Repellant]]! [[GWS:Julia|Julia]] quickly brought [[GWS:Devon McWilliams|Devon]] down to her office at the [[GWS:OSS|OSS]] for tests. After extensive testing, they realized that not only had [[GWS:Devon McWilliams|Devon]] grown to a full 6 feet tall, but he now possessed the ability to control sharks, and his teeth... his teeth! The effects wore off after a few hours, but with [[GWS:Julia|Julia]]'s help [[GWS:Devon McWilliams|Devon]] created a supply of [[GWS:Shark Repellant|Shark Repellant]] that should last him through the rest of the war, and Landshark was born!

; [[GWS:Dain McEwain|Dain McEwain]]
: (played by [[User:Sensorium|Sensorium]]) [[GWS:Dain McEwain|Dain McEwain]] was her Majesty's royal navy's deputy liaison to the [[GWS:fay kingdoms|fay kingdoms]], that is until the damn [[GWS:faerie|fay]] started to give him psychotic episodes. Quickly relieved of his duties, he was sent on a bum assignment to Australia, supposedly to make friendly contact with the [[GWS:australian aboriginal faerie|native fay]], but really just to get him out of the British Isles, where he had angered a number of [[GWS:faerie|fay]] nobles before being relieved. Reports say that Dain was taken into the [[GWS:australian bush|bush]] by a local guide. Two months later he returned a changed man, with a harsh laugh and a waning respect for authority, which landed him in the brig. The next day, it appeared that [[GWS:Dain McEwain|Dain]]'s cell had momentarily attained the consistence of spaghetti. [[GWS:Dain McEwain|Dain]] himself was "sleeping" at the bottom of the base's, now reeded and festering, pool, and one of the tanks had been disemboweled by a large tuscked creature. Not caring to think about what Dain had really become, The Australian Navy began the process installing him in an American "Super Soldier" team, figuring it would be easier and cheaper to aim him at the Nazis than to try to imprison him.

; [[GWS:Arjan Visser|Arjan Visser]] the Dutch [[GWS:doodlebug|Doodlebug]]
: (played by [[User:Mandacaru|Mandacaru]]) Having been recruited by force to the Nazi’s iniquitous [[GWS:V-4 programme|V-4 programme]], [[GWS:Arjan Visser|Arjan Visser]], an engineer originally hailing from [[GWS:Scheveningen|Scheveningen]] in Holland, spent many moons plotting a way to escape his captors. Befriending the colonel in charge of the [[GWS:ubermensch|necrowarrior]] plant next to the Bremen doodlebug factory, he discovered their sinister techniques for animating flesh. Eventually, using himself as a subject, he merged his body with one of his rockets and fled the continent for Britain, his last hope. Landing just short of the White Cliffs, he was rescued by a patrol boat and, after much prodding and poking in a secret laboratory, was sent on to Los Alamos where, once more, following certain tests with radiation, a general scratching of heads led him to be passed on. 

; [[GWS:Rebecca Achilles|Rebecca Achilles]], PhD
: (played by [[User:TonyLB|TonyLB]]) Doctor [[GWS:Rebecca Achilles|Rebecca Achilles]] was once lab-assistant to [[GWS:Tesla|Nikolai Tesla]], and is now an all around Two-fisted Mad Scientist.  She drinks too much, chain-smokes and hangs around with ruffians and thugs at every opportunity. She's violent, ill-tempered and disrespects authority. She is also, of course, a Genius with a capital G, and an adventuress who has travelled everywhere and has contacts (pleasant and unpleasant) in every corner of the world. So, despite the trouble she causes, she is tied with this Allied unit that the rest of our misfits are part of.

; [[GWS:Lucy Cannon|Lucy Cannon]]
: (played by [[User:Kintara|Kintara]]) [[GWS:Lucy Cannon|Lucy]] is the adorable niece of the CO, who happens to have a cannon grafted onto her arm. As you might imagine, sometimes her aim can be a bit off, but she means well!

; [[GWS:Blaze|Blaze]]
: (played by [[User:Threlicus|Threlicus]] Natalia Marciano was a maid in a secret laboratory before she was exposed to super-soldier serum in the middle of a terrible fire. Now she's the one controlling the fire. The US military are a little suspicious of her -- she's Italian after all -- and she's been assigned to our unit to see what they can do with her abilities. Hopefully they'll avoid being the target of her temper!
