'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and now go by the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
[[File:CLONES_2147.jpg|thumb|left|''Right to left, lower row: Bravo, Gamma, Alpha, Tango. Upper: Charlie, Kilo (standing), Zero, Rutger.'' Photo c E Granström 2019]]<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI, Valkyria 19, they detest so much? The group is often split in two, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them live permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go.<br />

===Members===<br />
<br />
(*) '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Keeps Karp Dajm café together with Rutger. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acted as spotter to Echo the sniper, was the only other person allowed to carry his rifle, Sigge. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group. Really struggles with emotion-thingies.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. Sometimes worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering, datamining, figuring out old-world tech are some of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic if she wants to be. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Definitely one with a huge heart and a spreader of joy, crazy and happiness. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? UPDATE: Clone model created by Valkyria 19. Original clone model purged?<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people and what they think about things. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Knows how to stay alive and capped up. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons, and cares for the rest of the group, but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It was evident he was bewildered by the new world he woke up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents. Proud provider of coffee for the Karp Dajm kafé!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]] or [[Aka-Mitsu]]. During the Coffee War in 2149 they first fought, then had a peace fika, with [[Snapphaneklanen]], uniting in the name of good coffee. There is a place for both warm and cold coffee in Stråssa, as they and [[The Good Company]] knows.<br />

<br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them, and not be able to deny them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seemed to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried (and they never have tried), but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />
<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]]/G8way snub another AI of its goal in 2146 (see [[History]]). <br />

==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />

Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI, Valkyria 19, they detest so much? The group is often split in two, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them live permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go.<br />

===Members===<br />
<br />
(*) '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Keeps Karp Dajm café together with Rutger. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acted as spotter to Echo the sniper, was the only other person allowed to carry his rifle, Sigge. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group. Really struggles with emotion-thingies.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. Sometimes worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering, datamining, figuring out old-world tech are some of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic if she wants to be. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Definitely one with a huge heart and a spreader of joy, crazy and happiness. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? UPDATE: Clone model created by Valkyria 19. Original clone model purged?<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people and what they think about things. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Knows how to stay alive and capped up. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons, and cares for the rest of the group, but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It was evident he was bewildered by the new world he woke up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents. Proud provider of coffee for the Karp Dajm kafé!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]] or [[Aka-Mitsu]]. During the Coffee War in 2149 they first fought, then had a peace fika, with [[Snapphaneklanen]], uniting in the name of good coffee. There is a place for both warm and cold coffee in Stråssa, as they and [[The Good Place]] knows.<br />

<br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them, and not be able to deny them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seemed to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried (and they never have tried), but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />
<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]] snub another AI of its goal in 2146. <br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and now go by the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />

The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI, Valkyria 19, they detest so much? The group is often split in two, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />

===Members===<br />
<br />
(*) '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Keeps Karp Dajm café together with Rutger. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acted as spotter to Echo the sniper, was the only other person allowed to carry his rifle, Sigge. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group. Really struggles with emotion-thingies.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. Sometimes worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering, datamining, figuring out old-world tech are some of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic if she wants to be. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Definitely one with a huge heart and a spreader of joy, crazy and happiness. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? UPDATE: Clone model created by Valkyria 19. Original clone model purged?<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people and what they think about things. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Knows how to stay alive and capped up. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons, and cares for the rest of the group, but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It was evident he was bewildered by the new world he woke up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents. Proud provider of coffee for the Karp Dajm kafé!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]] or [[Aka-Mitsu]]. During the Coffee War in 2149 they first fought, then had a peace fika, with [[Snapphaneklanen]], uniting in the name of good coffee (possibly against .<br />

<br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them, and not be able to deny them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seemed to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried (and they never have tried), but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />
<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]] snub another AI of its goal in 2146. <br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and now go by the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />

* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Keeps Karp Dajm café together with Rutger. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acted as spotter to Echo the sniper, was the only other person allowed to carry his rifle, Sigge. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group. Really struggles with emotion-thingies.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. Sometimes worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering, datamining, figuring out old-world tech are some of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic if she wants to be. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Definitely one with a huge heart and a spreader of joy, crazy and happiness. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? UPDATE: Clone model created by Valkyria 19. Original clone model purged?<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people and what they think about things. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Knows how to stay alive and capped up. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons, and cares for the rest of the group, but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It was evident he was bewildered by the new world he woke up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents. Proud provider of coffee for the Karp Dajm kafé!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]] or [[Aka-Mitsu]]. During the Coffee War in 2149 they first fought, then had a peace fika, with [[Snapphaneklanen]], uniting in the name of good coffee (possibly against .<br />

Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them, and not be able to deny them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seemed to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried (and they never have tried), but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />
<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]] snub another AI of its goal in 2146. <br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and now go by the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI, Valkyria 19, they detest so much? The group is often split in two, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them lives permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go.<br />

(*) '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue.

* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic if she wants to be. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Definitely one with a huge heart and a spreader of joy, crazy and happiness. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? UPDATE: Clone model created by Valkyria 19. Original clone model purged?<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people and what they think about things. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Knows how to stay alive and capped up. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons, and cares for the rest of the group, but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It was evident he was bewildered by the new world he woke up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents. Proud provider of coffee for the Karp Dajm kafé!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]] or [[Aka-Mitsu]]. During the Coffee War in 2149 they first fought, then had a peace fika, with [[Snapphaneklanen]], uniting in the name of good coffee (possibly against .<br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them, and not be able to deny them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seemed to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and now go by the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI, Valkyria 19, they detest so much? The group is often split in two, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them lives permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go.<br />

===Members===<br />
<br />
(*) '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Keeps Karp Dajm café together with Rutger. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acted as spotter to Echo the sniper, was the only other person allowed to carry his rifle, Sigge. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group. Really struggles with emotion-thingies.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. Sometimes worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering, datamining, figuring out old-world tech are some of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own.

Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents. Proud provider of coffee for the Karp Dajm kafé!<br />

<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />

===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]] or [[Aka-Mitsu]]. During the Coffee War in 2149 they first fought, then had a peace fika, with [[Snapphaneklanen]], uniting in the name of good coffee (possibly against .<br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them, and not be able to deny them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seemed to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried (and they never have tried), but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and now go by the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI, Valkyria 19, they detest so much? The group is often split in two, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them lives permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go.<br />

===Members===<br />
<br />
(*) '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Keeps Karp Dajm café together with Rutger. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acted as spotter to Echo the sniper, was the only other person allowed to carry his rifle, Sigge. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group. Really struggles with emotion-thingies.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. Sometimes worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering, datamining, figuring out old-world tech are some of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic if she wants to be. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Definitely one with a huge heart and a spreader of joy, crazy and happiness. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? UPDATE: Clone model created by Valkyria 19. Original clone model purged?<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people and what they think about things. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Knows how to stay alive and capped up. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons, and cares for the rest of the group, but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It was evident he was bewildered by the new world he woke up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones.

<div>'''Valkyria 19''', or Val19 for short, is an AI (Artificial Intelligence) that has survived in some capacity since before the fall, when it was the main AI for the company Valkyria Corporation.<br />

<br />
The AI once connected all the '''Valkyria Corporation''' facilities, or was part of a network of AIs doing so, and probably some of their subsidiary companies. [[The Fall]] of the world broke that vast network, and the AI became slightly corrupted by bitrot. It had access to some magical girl animes a dead employee once watched, it prioritises keeping clones of its founder and his son in "production" and it is batshit mad, as anyone alone and able to talk only to itself and fictional characters might become. Sometimes it tries to make the clones it has sent out, or that have escaped, come home. It sometimes tries to hire outsiders for this.<br />
<br />
'''[[CLONES aka Alpha's Crew]]''' hate it with all their hearts and minds, as it tries to control them in whatever ways it can, and sent many of them out in an experiment to see what would happen if they were allowed to become self-aware.<br />
It has since sent out two or three "upgraded" clones, the most frightening of which has been Kilo 2.0, seen in 2146 near the sinterplant and showing evidence of superhuman intelligence and ego.<br />
<br />
Presumably it chose this place because of its oft-used name of "Outpost Valkyrie".<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The company known as Valkyria Corporation was a forward-thinking, cutting-edge, bioengineering tech company which was poised for absolutely overwhelming success with their clone models, when the world ended. Top-of-the-class scientists, some with less morals than others, paved the way in cloning studies and engineering, and production was going to begin, with a large amount of pre-orders from around the world.<br />
<br />
Certain finds indicate that possibly the company saved cloning material from some of its board members and scientists.<br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and now go by the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI, Valkyria 19, they detest so much? The group is often split in two, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them lives permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go.<br />

<br />
===Members===<br />
<br />
(*) '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Keeps Karp Dajm café together with Rutger. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acted as spotter to Echo the sniper, was the only other person allowed to carry his rifle, Sigge. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group. Really struggles with emotion-thingies.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. Sometimes worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering, datamining, figuring out old-world tech are some of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic if she wants to be. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Definitely one with a huge heart and a spreader of joy, crazy and happiness. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? UPDATE: Clone model created by Valkyria 19. Original clone model purged?<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people and what they think about things. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Knows how to stay alive and capped up. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons, and cares for the rest of the group, but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It was evident he was bewildered by the new world he woke up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents. Proud provider of coffee for the Karp Dajm kafé!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]] or [[Aka-Mitsu]]. During the Coffee War in 2149 they first fought, then had a peace fika, with [[Snapphaneklanen]], uniting in the name of good coffee (possibly against .<br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them, and not be able to deny them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seemed to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried (and they never have tried), but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]] snub another AI of its goal in 2146.<br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and for some reason now insist on the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI they detest so much? The group has split in two for now, as they sometimes do, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them lives permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go.<br />

----<br />
<br />
===Members===<br />
<br />
* '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acts as spotter to Echo the sniper. The only other person allowed to carry Echo's rifle, Sigge. Decent sniper themselves, too. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. More than once he's worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering and datamining is one of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return.

<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It is evident he is bewildered by the new world he has woken up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
* '''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />

===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]]. <br />

Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. (Sometimes she returns there for some violence, to keep her temper in check). They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI they detest so much? The group has split in two for now, as they sometimes do, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them lives permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go. * indicates "attending physically this year".<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Members===<br />
<br />
* '''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
* '''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
* '''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acts as spotter to Echo the sniper. The only other person allowed to carry Echo's rifle, Sigge. Decent sniper themselves, too. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
* '''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. More than once he's worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering and datamining is one of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
* '''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? <br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
* '''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
* '''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It is evident he is bewildered by the new world he has woken up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
* '''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of. They will at times pay with kapps and blood to get more info, which seems to be scattered here and there, as pamphlets, data from Valkyria Corporation or voices in the [[Terminal]].<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]]. <br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them personally for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them, and not be able to deny them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seem to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried, but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]] snub another AI of its goal in 2146.<br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and for some reason now insist on the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />

Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
'''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? <br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
'''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
'''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It is evident he is bewildered by the new world he has woken up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]]. <br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them personally for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seem to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried, but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]] snub another AI of its goal in 2146.<br />

<br />
'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and for some reason now insist on the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI they detest so much? The group has split in two for now, as they sometimes do, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working hard and grudgingly for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). About half of them lives permanently in Stråssa at any given time, some come and go.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Members===<br />
<br />
'''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts at most as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Loves a good fight. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
'''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life, knows a few specialised things about the Before the Fall. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
'''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acts as spotter to Echo the sniper. The only other person allowed to carry Echo's rifle, Sigge. Decent sniper themselves, too. Really likes stabbing people. Really doesn't like anyone threatening the group.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
'''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. More than once he's worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering and datamining is one of his strengths. Does NOT take two sugars for his tea. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died very unexpectedly in late 2144 [irl year 2015], but sometimes traces of what he's left behind appears to be done with foresight? Everyone is very unhappy that he died.<br />
<br />
'''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Occasionally has a very sharp tongue. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Not literally? <br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten, but still likes to gamble. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, more than anyone else, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
'''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an uncanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't about other people. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
'''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed. Lovingly taken care of by his husband Magnus.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It is evident he is bewildered by the new world he has woken up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. The CLONES have met a specimen and can confirm it. Now and then the group runs into a new model they didn't know of.<br />
<br />

<div>'''History'''. Where would we be today without yesterday? Somewhere better, probably. Here follows a brief summation of the most important events that lead up to end of the world as we knew it. <br />
<br />
== Ancient History ==<br />
[[File:Fact_Card_2.jpg|thumb| ''o/` It's all the same, only the daaaates chaaange'']]<br />
'''Early summer 2018''': A comet (later designated P/2018 K2 ) is discovered by astronomers in India.<br />
<br />
'''Early spring 2019''': P/2018 K2 passes by Earth for the first time. The light show is spectacular. Preliminary calculations of the comet's orbit are equally spectacular and terrifying: it will return in 12 years and 10 months, and when it does it will be closer to Earth. The probability of impact with the planet by 2044 is estimated as 1 in 100.

'''2021''': The international comity's work shows that the best way to avoid impact is to [http://www.deepspace.ucsb.edu/projects/directed-energy-planetary-defense place an enormous laser in orbit around Earth and use it to alter the comet's trajectory]. Project [[IODS | International Orbital Defence System (IODS)]] begins and nations across the globe contributes with resources and personnel. The system is calculated to be operational in the 2030s, which should mean plenty of time to affect the comet. <br />
<br />
'''2028''': Various diplomatic complications and human error lead to serious delays and the expenses skyrocket. The deadline is pushed to 2042, which offers very slim margins for success. <br />
<br />
'''2029''': The project faces organised resistance from a group called the National Sovereignty Movement (NSM). NSM claims that scientists and world leaders have vastly overstated the risks associated with the comet Kali and that the whole project is a conspiracy aiming to end nation states and create one big global state. They further claim that IODS real purpose is to create a super weapon that will be employed against countries that refuse to submit to the new world order.<br />
<br />
'''Winter 2032''': Kali passes Earth for the second time and the probability of impact is now calculated at 1 to 3. Panic grips the planet.<br />
<br />
'''2035''': The world economy enters into a depression and NSM grows stronger. Political parties with ties to NSM exist in almost all major nations and gains ground the economy worsens.<br />
<br />
'''2036''': The "Progress and Prosperity Party" get absolute majority in the Russian elections. Russia immediately pulls out of IODS and increases its defence budget "in order to defend against the international conspiracy". The decision is praised by NSM-supporters around the globe.<br />
<br />
'''2036 - 2040''': NSM-supported parties gain majority in more and more nations and more and more of the elect to pull out of the international collaboration efforts. The EU halts its support of the project "temporarily", citing "internal conflicts". <br />
<br />
'''2040''': Following a congressional victory by NSM-influenced republicans, the USA pulls out of the collaborations surrounding IODS. Several smaller nations follow the USA's lead. All of them divert funds to their defence budget, citing growing international unrest. At the end of the year, only China, India and a handful of European and African nations still support IODS.<br />
<br />
'''Midsummer 2044''': IODS or 国际轨道防御系统 is in spite of complications finally fully operational. The work to adjust Kali's trajectory begins immediately.<br />
<br />
'''November 2044''': Thanks to IODS, the Earth avoids a head on collision with the Kali. It does not avoid the comet's tail. Hundreds of thousands of meteorites strike the planet, causing incalculable damage to infrastructures across the globe. Millions die. While no part of the planet avoids the heavy rains, Russia and USA are hit the hardest. USA accuses China and the other IODS collaborators of purposefully causing the meteorite showers to strike USA and Russia.<br />
<br />
'''December 2044''': A broken and polarised USA initiated peration "Avenging Freedom". Ballistic nuclear missiles are launched at the nations they consider responsible for the disaster, China and France returns fire.<br />

<div>'''History'''. Where would we be today without yesterday? Somewhere better, probably. Here follows a brief summation of the most important events that lead up to end of the world as we knew it. <br />
<br />

[[File:Fact_Card_2.jpg|thumb| ''o/` It's all the same, only the daaaates chaaange'']]<br />
'''Early summer 2018''': A comet (later designated P/2018 K2 ) is discovered by astronomers in India.<br />
<br />
'''Early spring 2019''': P/2018 K2 passes by Earth for the first time. The light show is spectacular. Preliminary calculations of the comet's orbit are equally spectacular and terrifying: it will return in 12 years and 10 months, and when it does it will be closer to Earth. The probability of impact with the planet by 2044 is estimated as 1 in 100. An international comity is formed to deal with the threat. he press names the comet "Kali" after the Hindu god of <s>war</s> Time and Destruction actually.<br />

<br />
'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and for some reason now insist on the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha or her protégés in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north over the winter of 2145, very far north, and were gone half a year. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road winter 2146 as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI they detest so much? The group has split in two for now, as they sometimes do, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
<br />
The gang is sometimes seen working for [[Nova]], for whatever reason (Kapps. Kapps are the reason). <br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Members===<br />
<br />
'''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts more as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
'''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and yet there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
'''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acts as spotter to Echo the sniper. The only other person allowed to carry Echo's rifle, Sigge. Decent sniper themselves, too. Really likes stabbing people.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but a bit vain. Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
'''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle... don't mention that too loudly. More than once he's worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering and datamining is one of his strengths. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died in late 2144 [irl year 2015].<br />
<br />
'''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Is an item with Tango since forever.<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
'''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. She's been an item with November forever. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an unkanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
'''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It is evident he is bewildered by the new world he has woken up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
'''Rutger''' (male pronouns) is a good-natured guy with a fancy moustache. The gang picked him up during one of their sojourns to the continent, realising he had a connection to them. He's a November model of the first type (it wasn't pink-haired and kind until Val19 stuck its AI nose into it all) and has an enviable way of bouncing back from injuries, bad moods and accidents.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are apparently more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt. Now and then the group runs into one.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]]. <br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them personally for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], these days they mainly seemed to dislike them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results. A couple of them are quite fond of working for [[Fransoserna]].<br />
<br />
They seem to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried, but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: [[Valkyria 19]].<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]] snub another AI of its goal in 2146.<br />
<br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and for some reason now insist on the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLONES travelled north the winter before last, very far north, and were gone between late October and late April/early May. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]].<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
It seems the CLONES took to the road last winter as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI they detest so much? The group has split in two for now, as they sometimes do, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Members===<br />
<br />
'''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts more as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
'''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and still there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
'''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acts as spotter to Echo the sniper. The only other one allowed to carry Echo's rifle, Sigge. Decent sniper themselves, too.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but maybe a bit vain? Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
'''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle. More than once he's worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering and datamining is one of his strengths. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died in late 2144 [irl year 2015].<br />
<br />
'''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Is an item with Tango since forever.<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
'''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. She's been an item with November forever. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an unkanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
'''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It is evident he is bewildered by the new world he has woken up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

'''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acts as spotter to Echo the sniper. The only other one allowed to carry Echo's rifle, Sigge. Decent sniper themselves, too.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but maybe a bit vain? Ran off, was caught by... someone, used as blackmail material, later saved. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never lets anyone save Charlie touch. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in late autumn 2145. Proud brother to Alpha.<br />
<br />
'''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle. More than once he's worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering and datamining is one of his strengths. <br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died in late 2144 [irl year 2015].<br />
<br />
'''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way, for reasons of her own. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew sometime late in 2144 after hearing about Juliett. Seems precocious, steals everyone's heart. Is an item with Tango since forever.<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Untiring and hardworking, but a bit more sensitive than he lets on. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
'''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. She's been an item with November forever. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sometimes freaks out when in larger groups, has an unkanny knack of knowing stuff she shouldn't. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
'''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed.<br />
<br />
'''Lucius Woods''' (male pronouns) was put in cryo-stasis before the Fall and found in 2146. It is evident he is bewildered by the new world he has woken up in. Incredibly clever, gifted and a bio-scientist of renown. Then-head of the biggest project in Valkyria Corporations, a project concerning... utilitarian clones. The gang are parents, bullies, siblings and caretakers in equal measures toward him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Some people say that there are more clones out there - for example, one named "Oscar" was supposedly manufactured to be a good footsoldier and grunt.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]]. <br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them personally for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], but these days they mainly seemed to dislike them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]] with good results.<br />
<br />
They seem to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried, but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: Valkyria 19.<br />
They happily helped [[Gateway]] snub another AI of its goal in 2146.<br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. In spring 2146 from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and for some reason now insist on the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two. At least, that's what they all assumed until the year 2145.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in 2143 [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
<br />
Well, there was that nice idea of a travelling casino, which worked real well for quite some time, and then it didn't, and suddenly you're up to your knees in debt.<br />
<br />
But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
The CLOnes travelled north the winter before last, very far north, and were gone between late October and late April/early May. According to them they even went even past Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who saw her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the northern-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]]. <br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
It seems the CLOnes took to the road last winter as well, southwards, dragging along doctor Woods. Something about a crusade against that AI they detest so much? The group has split in two for now, as they sometimes do, but why the division is a matter of speculation. And some say they've seen members of the group in two places at once. Such information makes the gang spend kapps or bullets aplenty, and often run off to that other place.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Members===<br />
<br />
'''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She would happily step into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Crowned her career as undefeated gladiator star in 2146 with a mighty fight against [[Toto]], now acts more as a coach to up-and-coming fighters. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
'''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and still there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Has a taste for the finer things in life. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />

But you can't outrun some people, and the gang outran into a couple of them instead. Since 2144 [irl year 2015] they've been hanging out, on and off, in the shanty town, doing every job they can, cheering for Alpha in the gladiatorial fights and rubbing elbows with their neighbours.<br />
<br />
==Today==<br />
The Lost Ones are an odd bunch. They make do, but they're no winners - except Alpha, of course, always Alpha, queen under [[Qhuinn]], reigning over the fight pit. They're hoping to settle their debts one time or the other, but that's going to take a lot of kapps... <br />
And some people are a bit worse at gambling than others, some just can't make a deal work their way, some always seem to fail at getting paid.<br />
<br />
Now and then they leave the town for a while - long-term, short-term, but they always return. They haven't failed to regain their home containers yet; indeed, woe betide those who try to take and hold that place from them (but of course they always clean away any bodies, and scrub the walls to get the blood off). This had upped their cred for being decent additions in a fight, and worth hiring for their specialties. But compared to others, well... they're no winners.<br />
<br />
==Recent==<br />
The CLOnes travelled north last winter, very far north, and were gone between late October and late April/early May. According to them they even went even past Northern Traders, Campus Birch and F21 by Ume. Stories from fans of Alpha who've seen her fight at the Northern Traders Outpost give credit to this story, and they did make friends with the north-of-Scandinavia-based [[Bonebreakers]]. <br />

===Members===<br />
<br />
'''Alpha''' (female pronouns) is the star of the outfit. She happily steps into the fighting pit in the sinter plant, as a fighter, judge or coach. Has a bit of an anger management issue. Don't ever ask her for "a date", it's a close call as to who will cause you unconsciousness first between her or any of the others. Sister to Echo.<br />
<br />
'''Bravo''' (male pronouns) totes around an EMP and makes a mean (mutant-proof, so they all claim) chai. Often seems to be called "fuckup" by the others, and still there's something they envy him. There's a story to that. Brother to Sierra.<br />
<br />
'''Charlie''' (neutral pronouns) seems to consider the 'crew "theirs". They back this up with an unpleasant amount of knives and an uncomfortably high fluency in using them. Often acts as spotter to Echo the sniper. The only other one allowed to carry Echo's rifle, Sigge. Decent sniper themselves, too.<br />
<br />
'''Dash''' (male pronouns) has the looks and knows it. He's nimble-fingered and a deft hand at writing things down. The stories he retell or new-tell are always worth a listen. A charmer, but maybe a bit vain? Recently scarpered, the 'crew is a bit hazy as to where. Brother to Zero.<br />
<br />
'''Echo''' (male pronouns) tends to do the sniping for the 'crew. Has an unpredictable-as-hell temper, except when behind the butt of Sigge, his rifle - which he never let anyone save Charlie touch. Proud brother to Alpha. Walked out on the 'crew in winter 2145/46, and was hunted by Val19's agents. The gang picked him up again in autumn 2145. Currently he's mostly out and about to the north-east, enjoying headshotting Val19-agents.<br />
<br />
'''Gamma''' (male pronouns) is the techie. He's also often a bit better dressed than the others, and has finer gear. He's got the smarts and knows how to hack, and he owned a pretty rad motorcycle. More than once he's worked with Echo for a drive-by sniping. Info-gathering and datamining is one of his strengths.<br />
<br />
'''Juliett''' (male pronouns) is dead. He was the blue-moustachioed hippie of the group, the therapist, the one to keep them sane-r. He wielded a big damn gun and good advice with equal aplomb, but was randomly shot through the head by a [[Chaosist]] during a supposed business transaction. Oldest brother to Kilo and Tango. Died in late 20144 [irl year 2015].<br />
<br />
'''Kilo''' (female pronouns) comes across as somewhat dim-witted. Uses any and all substances she can get in order to stay that way. Make no mistake though, she is a mean medic. She'll defend the 'crew with a trigger-happy finger or sew them up with the very same. And they will defend her fiercely in return. Youngest sister to Juliett and Tango.<br />
<br />
'''November''' (female pronouns) has got herself a bit of medical training too. Her hearing is damaged and so she can operate her patients without worrying about any screaming. Likes pink and horses. Returned to the 'crew about a year ago after hearing about Juliett. Is an item with Tango since forever.<br />
<br />
'''Sierra''' (male pronouns) brings dark humour to any party. And booze and kapps, in general. He's fairly sharp, and often acts big-brotherly to Bravo. Ran in a different direction when the casino deal went rotten. Came back at the end of winter 2145, since hearing of Juliett's death. Brother to Bravo.<br />
<br />
'''Tango''' (female pronouns) is a whiz at mechanics and heavy weapons. It's unclear whether they like her more, or she them. She's been an item with November forever. Returned to the 'crew fairly soon after hearing about Juliett. Sister to Juliett and Kilo.<br />
<br />
'''Zero''' (neutral pronouns) has a loner streak a mile wide. Despite this, they always return to the 'crew. They know their way around any deadlands, any outback, any wasteland and often takes jobs as a guide. Got their left arm ripped off and replaced by cybernetics. This means that their firepower is backed up by razor-sharp claws. Sibling to Dash.<br />
<br />
'''Acire''' (male pronouns) is one of Bravo's and Sierra's adoptive dads. Loves his sons but suffers serious PTSD after his time in the hands of the Chaosist. Quite clever with computers, quite clever indeed.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Friends and enemies===<br />
They consider few people their friends, but a couple might be allies. They don't seem to averse to the [[Water Federation]]. <br />
<br />
Few who hang out with any member of the 'crew could miss that they all hate the [[Chaosists]] with a ''vengeance''. They appear to have a good reason for it, too, but you'll have to ask them personally for it.<br />
Their foremost thorn-in-our-side was [[Nova]], but these days they mainly seemed to dislike them. Sometimes they've worked for [[Klustret]].<br />
<br />
They seem to have a bit of an ambivalent relationship to the [[Octagon]] and Verkünder Wootech for some reason.<br />
<br />
The CLONES couldn't hide their distrust for AI:s if they tried, but there's one they hate in particular, the one that once was the lynchpin of the Valkyria Corporation ("Bioengineering the future!"), and hasn't survived the fall of the world without gaining a few flaws: Valkyria 19.<br />

'''Alpha's Crew''' was what the gang associated with the famous gladiator Alpha called themselves. They all appear to share some common background, though they are as diverse as can be. For some reason they returned from a long journey, scarred and worse for wear, and now insist on the name of "'''Valkyria Corporation's Lost Ones'''", or, "'''CLONES'''" for short.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Once, the world was nice. It isn't, these days. Out of hardships, bonds are forged, and the more recent years have seen this gang through several. Whoever named them all didn't have a lot of time, imagination, or suggestions... they probably used an Old World list or two.<br />
Bravo, Gamma and Zero scouted out the town around the sinter plant in [irl year 2014], and it was considered a nice and safe place to hide from certain factions, to whom the 'crew had a bit of a debt.<br />
