****update****
****Considering the feedback I've received, I've made some modifications to each character. However theres a slight miscommunication between what I've envisioned and what I've previously posted. I was afraid to make this post too "wordy" by going in depth. Should I post each character's back story and abilities iindividually? Or should I make an insanely long post cramming everything together? Thanks!*****

“Outbreak!” And “Outbreak! OP Company” (three years later) character break down
Main (ascending based off of introduction):
• Killian Murray: Introductory age, roughly 28. Sex: Male. Background, unknown. His government file contains more black ink than a printer cartridge newly purchased from Staples. He awakens in a hospital after an intense surgery. The physical and psychological trauma during the first skeletal bionic upgrades ever attempted makes him amnesic. When he woke up he met a very seedy individual with a “proposition”. Leader of the “OP Company”, he’s exemplary at leadership, guerilla warfare, close quarters combat, and small arms weaponry (pistols to SMGs). Level headed, decisive, and quick witted, he practically takes control of the battle field regardless of the situation. Ability: electrical generator (ability to charge electricity within his body, but requires an outside conductor to release it)
• Cassandra Callahan: Introductory aged, 23. Sex:/Female. Background, Military RVN. Rarely attended Killian’s medical operations but knowledgeable of his medical history. Saved by Killian in the hospital she tended to him during the “Apocalypse Outbreak” she has devoted her life to him. Specializes in support and first aid. Ability: wind user. She controls wind mostly as a supporting roll to amplify the team's abilities, but if needed she can use it offensively. Preferred fighting range: mid.
• Mouth: Introductory age, roughly 13. Sex: Unknown. Background, previous captive of a child slave ring. Rescued by Killian and Cassandra from a horde of “Freshies” (recently turned zombies). Hot headed, trigger happy, yandere/tsundere. Infatuated with Killian but the abuse from the past causes confusion. Ability: Condensation and expansion. Mouth needs to physically touch an object to get a feeling of its structure. Once that happens, Mouth can condense it to a tournament approved marble and expanded it at will. This comes from the deep seeded hatred and desire to crush the things that are uncontrollable in life regardless of how well known it is to Mouth. Eventual expertise is mid ranged combat (slingshot, pistols, throwing knives), and long range (sniper rifle, hunting bow). Mouth swaps out the bullet points with her “marbles” or loads them into the slingshot to maximize carnage on the battlefield field.
• KID: Introductory age, roughly 15. Background, shared a cell with Mouth. Three years Mouth's senior in captivity, her psyche has been completely shattered. She often speaks in incoherent and incomplete sentences unless she’s in her bloodlust lucid periods, then her dual personality emerges and she turns into an unstoppable killing machine. Ability: dimensional warp (she shifts into another plane of existence that slows time in the third dimension. It mimics teleportation or invisibility) based off her desires to hide from threats. Expertise, dual wield dagger close combat.
• Michie Mcclain: Introductory age, 27. Background, Detective before the “Outbreak Apocalypse” and ex-SWAT member. He was outnumbered and outgunned trying to rescue Kid during “cargo transfer” when Killian’s gang stepped in. Die Hard (Yipee Kai Yay *censored*!). Closet Otaku. He’s Mouth's tutor in weaponology, tactics, and proficiency (per Killian's directive). They have a father/daughter relationship. He has a warped moral code of good and evil and often clashes with Killian. Ability: fire Manipulator. He can take a spark and manifest it into a blazing inferno. Preferred combat: mid to long range. Often uses the spark of a bullet being fired in combination with his attacks.
• Kale Sheffield: Introductory age, 19. Background, international cyber “terrorist”. She achieved hacking several international agencies in a vendetta to avenge the wrongful prosecution and incarceration of her father, who was in the US Navy. After managing to piss off several agencies and their shadow organizations, her safest choice of survival was turning herself into the FBI in a very public fashion. During the Apocalypse Outbreak, she was approached by a seedy man with a proposition. She is cold, callused, and indifferent. The only gratification she seems to achieve is getting under Michie's skin. Ability: Water Manipulator. If there’s moisture around, it’s a weapon. She can create maelstroms with large bodies of water or turn the smallest droplet into a frozen projectile. Preferred combat range, mid.
