The Supertroopers


Important Relations: Wulfden Supertrooper Training Camp


Ryker Killbane


Biography:
  • Species: Supertrooper
  • Origin: Test-Tube on Earth
  • Status: self-proclaimed Leader of the Supertroopers
  • special Ability: can turn into nearly everything
Important Relations:
Ryker Killbane is a bio-defense close combat soldier. In some ways, he is the prototype for the type of Soldier that Shane Gooseman was crafted on. During the early years at Wolfden, since Shane was a late arrival, being much younger than the majority of the other Supertroopers, he was considered the 'baby' of the group. Killbane took a perverse pleasure in belittling the other man, going so far as to call him runt at almost every occasion.

Killbane has quite the same bio-defense abilities as Gooseman, but also has the ability to blow poison gas from glands in his mouth, much like a lizard or snake can release venom.

Ryker Killbane has become twisted by the genetic enhancer and has focused all his rage and anger on Shane Gooseman, whom he perceives as the enemy. This is both due to the rivalry they both participated in during their time at Wolfden and the fact that Gooseman was always being 'coddled' by Walsh, and given somewhat preferential treatment.

Killbane is very self-centered, always thinking of himself before anybody else - a handover from the days at Wolfden. In the encounters since the Wolfden days, Killbane has tried to attack or disable Gooseman, the only one really capable of seriously injuring him outside of the other Supertroopers.


Brainchild


Biography:
  • Species: Supertrooper
  • Origin: Test-Tube on Earth
  • Special-Ability: very bright
Important Relations:
Smart Supertrooper. Short ugly alien in a white suit with a carnation in the buttonhole. Can think real fast. Genius. Smokes a cigar. Brainchild is a genetically enhanced general for the Supertroopers, but unfortunately, the enhancement of his intelligence also enhanced his arrogance, making it very difficult for any of the other soldiers to want to follow where he led.

Possibly in defiance to his upbringing, he smokes real tobacco, which may cause cancer and endanger his life at some future time.

Brainchild is NOT a combat trooper, and does not seem to have any special abilities in hand-to-hand combat, nor any proper weapons training. His high IQ and enhanced learning curve mean he can easily learn to use a weapon, but lacks the physical skill required to carry through the operation.


Stingray


Biography:
  • Species: Supertrooper
  • Origin: Test-Tube on Earth
  • Special-Ability: can shoot laser-beams with his eyes
Important Relations:
Aussie Supertrooper. Shoots beams out of his eyes. Blond, wears wrap around sunglasses.

Stingray is an Energy Projector. His primary ability is to be able to channel bio-electric energy along his optic nerves, which have been altered to laze the energy into a powerful beam of light. This capability was counted on to protect him, so he was not really enhanced in any other manner. He is only slightly stronger than a normal human.

He is bitter about the events of Wolfden, but does see the need for the Supertroopers to fade into the background. Their time is past, he knows.

His persona was infused with an Australian accent and attitude, in keeping with the then-international feel of the Supertrooper project. This sometimes results in a rather brutal, black vs. white worldview, but he can contain his attitudes when the need arises.


Darkstar


Biography:
  • Species: Supertrooper
  • Origin: Test-Tube on Earth
  • Special-Ability: can turn people blind (temporary)
Important Relations:
Fellow Rogue Supertrooper, but the only sane one besides Goose. Darkstar's major ability is to be able to generate a field of darkness via a series of dark globules that move outwards from from her and surround the target, effectively blinding them for a short periods of time.

She also heals faster than a normal human, and has enhanced reflexes that enable her to be an effective close combat soldier.

Darkstar normally dresses in a black outfit with flowing fabric, making her look a bit like a dark cloud in motion.

A few months before the Wolf Den incident, Darkstar became romantically involved with the Energy Projector Stingray. During the mass breakout, the two of them fled off-world together, and ended up on the regional planet of Frontier.

Darkstar had a slight relationship with Shane Gooseman during their time at Wolfden, but it never amounted to anything because the young Gooseman could never explain his feelings to her - which she needed to hear.

Darkstar has made it clear that if he HAD, she would have gone with him and not Ray. Now she's made it clear that Goose missed his chance, and she is not happy about him hunting down their friends. He keeps letting her go, telling her that he's not too happy about the current situation EITHER....

In a way, she believes that Shane has betrayed the other Supertroopers but she doesn't go out of her way to drive this point home like the other Supertroopers. She just accepts that he has to do it to survive. It doesn't mean she's happy about the situation.

Her 'abilities' include being able to blind people at least temporarily, possibly permanently.


Chimaera


Biography:
  • Species: Supertrooper
  • Origin: Test-Tube on Earth
  • Special-Ability: has hypnotic powers
Important Relations:
Blue-haired, nasty lady Supertrooper with hypnotic powers, hangs around with Killbane and the other rouge Supertroopers.


Gravestone


Biography:
  • Species: Supertrooper
  • Origin: Test-Tube on Earth
  • Special-Ability: can turn to stone, is very strong
Important Relations:
Huge brown-haired stupid male Supertrooper designed to be the ultimate gladiatorial combat warrior. He has highly enhanced strength, thickened skin, and bulked muscle, to enable him to withstand most forms of hand-to-hand combat.

Gravestone can be enhanced further by the injection of external stimuli, such as electricity, which supercharges his system, blowing his strength and shutting down his higher brain functions; when supercharged, he is virtually unstoppable, and it is best just to avoid him.


Jackhammer


Biography:
  • Species: Supertrooper
  • Origin: Test-Tube on Earth
  • Special-Ability: unknown
Important Relations:
We don't know much about him, just when he wanted to fight Stingray, Brainchild terminated the fighting. What a pity.
