Sierra-244
Alexa-244
6'5", 391lb
Minuteman Class Soldier
Alexa woke up one day as a Minuteman, being told she had passed through many programmes to get here. Only has a year of memory, but enjoys kung fu movies, and specialises in close quarter combat and acrobatics. She is also the only stealth capable vector. Imposingly tall, red haired. Collects stuffed animals. Expert with computers and melee weapons. Plays Videogames under the Tag: "FullM3t4l." Spends time honing her hacking skills, much to the annoyance of base staff. A playful prankster who often runs afoul of other Super Soldiers.
Unknown to her, although sometimes dreamed of, she was once a cheerleader at RMNH high school, she was injured in a mutant attack, and was volunteered for the Special Programmes. A corpse was surgically altered to resemble her and given back to her parents.
Occasionally old muscle memory takes over resulting in acrobatic giftedness.

Sierra-208
Mac-208
7'9", 734lb
Minuteman Class Soldier
Mac is a true Minuteman, by which we mean, he has survived this far. Which is an achievement. Mac was a former Football player, bigger than even the average Minuteman, carries the heavy gear, Expert driver and can carry more than 2 weapons comfortably. Mac enjoys movies with boobs in them, and sports. Writes Light Brigade fiction.
Raised by a mother who loved education, he is well read, more than the average person. His intellect is devoted almost wholly to Pop Culture.
Has no contact with those he left behind.
Joined as a mutant, but the alteration locked him permanently in one form, fortunately it's awesome.
Not long after adaptation surgery, began hearing his minigun, "Veronica" talk to him. Global Storm Soviette has reinforced his already established distrust of Russians.

Sierra-090
Jason-090
6'7", 433lb
Minuteman Class Soldier
90 is a bit of a Lone Wolf, a special breed of Minuteman, and candidate for Vanguard2. Currently deployed on a Secret Test Flight Programme, for Armour mounted flight packs. Intended to convert a minuteman into an Air fighter by simply docking the armour onto a large wing and engine array..
A master of Stealth and Staff Fighting. Rated Pilot.
Originally a Green Beret, he was badly crippled by Ninjas in the line of duty and accepted an offer to join the Special Programmes in exchange for a chance to live.
The adaptations took, but not as well as the likes of 61 or 117, he is nonetheless a very successful vector. Young, but will not live to old age due to complications.
Enjoys martial arts, Trading Card Games, and Video Games. Amateur detective. Likes to look cool, takes job VERY seriously, secretly wants a team to trust and accept him.

Sierra-061
Helena-061
6'7", 487lb
Minuteman Class Soldier
61 is a specialist sniper, ice cold and emotionless. She was formerly an infiltration agent inserted into the Red Banner, but was near killed in an operation which resulted in the downing of a Zeppelin on US soil. She was volunteered for Special Programmes. Her reconditioning and engineering was especially gruelling, and she now exhibits some irregularities, speaking in two notably different accents, French and German, and more rarely in a flat accentless manner, personality seems to shift depending on voice. As time has progressed she had developed increased sentimentality.
61 is rarely seen out of armour, even wearing her helmet around base.
Calls Chief Medical "Mama" Has recently developed an attachment to Xander McGruder.
Experiences constant pain from grafting, requires medication to sleep. Has experimental augmented cybernetic eyes, and neural computer integration.

Sierra-069
Han-069
6'6", 642lb
Minuteman Class Soldier
One of the earliest successes in the Minuteman programme, Han comes off as an emotionless computer, although he does possess a sarcastic dry sense of humour. Han has had so many augments to correct injuries and problems over the years, there is very little human left. A demolitionist by trade.
Han was lost in an operation near Cold Rocks in 2013, He returned during the Anchorpoint crisis, with Dovali heavy armour. This armour was built to repair and replace his damaged Gungnir armour. Only the helmet remains recognisable.
Han develops plans based on a sequence of events happening, and seems to be able to predict human behaviour sufficiently for them to work. Curious by nature, his memory and mind have been blanked so many times he comes off as inhuman, He quickly absorbs cultural habits around him. This may be an attempt to reconstruct a personality. He often expresses unfamiliarity and puzzlement over what many consider normal.
