A disillusioned Marina Pescador at the periphery of the North American Red Zone, first laying eyes on Gerald's caravan
Marina's character sheet
The Story of Marina Valeria Pescador Oñate
Link to Marina's full backstory in GDocs
To say that Marina Pescador has had a rough life is a vast understatement.
Child of two Forgotten, orphaned before she was a teenager, she roamed the lands, seeking meaning in her life while slowly being consumed by Tiberium, a curse inherited from her mutant parents.
It wasn't until the young Colombian woman met an engimatic caravan leader, that she found her purpose. Over five years, she's become the mechanic of the caravan, performing engineering miracles when things seemed grim.
Marina feels most at home when fixing devices and vehicles, or creating machines.
OOC Info: Marina hides her Tiberium infection from everyone, with the exception of Gerald - in whom she confided, since he took her in when all else seemed futile - and any doctors in the caravan. Marina will be extremely reluctant to disclose her secret to anyone else. She wears long-sleeved and -legged clothing, even when it's unusually warm (which some might find odd). Marina won't disclose her status explicitly (only by some series of coincidences that are unlikely to occur). I ask that you please avoid using this meta knowledge IC. Thank you.

Spike's Character Sheet
Full backstory
Spike has landed himself in a bit of trouble, the most he's let on is he tried to leave a group and their severance package is usually your life . That's how he found himself joining in with a caravan with only a crowbar, a toolkit, and an old rusted out pistol. Oh and his trusty pal CAB, a helpful and knowledgeable AI filled with all sorts of information that he doesn't seem to know where he learned it. Spike is a nerd and gets rather excited over any and all old tech, mostly from a collectors standpoint and he'll always jump at the chance to study old ways and old things.

Wordy Derby
Born underneath a Blue Zone's dumpsite, the person who would become Wordy Derby lived a very lonely life. Due to a hereditary case of vitiligo, she appeared different and was thusly received differently. Living with very few for company, she developed what her father would declare as the "gift of the gab". She spoke to herself everyday, to entertain her mind and to host imaginary friends. She still does. To this day, one could hear her during her waking hours, talking and holding conversations with no one in particular. She calls herself a negotiator, on the hunt for something to negotiate. She enjoys wearing a gas mask, with matching goggles, to keep the arid wind from scraping away her cheekbones she says. Some have seen her sleep in the mask. She is a snorer. She takes the mouth piece off to eat and occasionally the goggles to clean and spit shine. She doesn't know where she's going nor has the funds to settle down.

Gregory Urquhart.
A GDI conscript-turned-security-consultant. Fought in the Second Tiberium War before growing weary of the wider conflict and the relative comfort of much of the Blue Zone. While generally supportive of the UN and GDI initiatives, he believes that the only way for the Yellow Zones to meaningfully do anything is for them to be able to indigenously support themselves, before they can reasonably be considered viable to be reintegrated into the GDI. Gregory does his part largely by offering his knowledge as a security consultant to those that can afford him. Some might look at him as a bit of an academic cum adventurer, a foreigner taking advantage of those caught in the middle. And they'd be right, for the part. Admitedly, his job is dime-a-dozen out there in the yellow zones, but competent ones are rare, and Gregory isn't above taking off the "consultant" badge and reacquaint himself with the light infantry training and experience he had gained during the Second Tiberium War.

Alexander
Alex is a pilot from the Red Zone. Always on the move, moving from place to place- she quickly picked up the skills she needed to survive. She has managed to earn her way to a middle class living, despite her disasters surroundings. Alex wears tidy, white, butler-like clothes as a bit of a staple. The fact that she's able to keep her clothes clean is a symbol of pride for her, keeping this relic from her parents around to remind her of them during her travels.
She hasn't managed much so far, but she hopes to be able to prove her worth in such a way that she can get some purpose in her life outside of survival.
