[Mercenary Elite Division of Unmatched Skill and Abilities]
A politically neutral, well-financed PMC who hires mercenaries ("operators") to hunt down survivalists, cultists or any other target their clients can afford to put a hit on.
★
Though MEDUSA has high standards for their operators, they have extremely lax rules around violence and other crimes.
As long as operators complete their contracts, the PMC turns a blind eye to misbehaviours like looting or infighting.

background

Mercenary contracted to MEDUSA, former RSOA AF Captain.
Born to survivalists who were amongst the first to join the RSOA, Cooper was mostly raised within the walls of the RSOA's capital city, First Light.He grew up believing in the RSOA's propaganda that the wasteland was full of murderers and that the RSOA only had the people's best interests at heart. Cooper joined the RSOA Armed Forces at 16 and eventually rose to become a Captain in his late 20s. Cooper remained steadfastly loyal to the RSOA, executing its will across the wasteland for many years.

At 38 he was assigned a "Stress Reliever" - who he became unusually attached to, causing the first seeds of doubt about the RSOA's practices to grow in his mind.Eventually, Cooper fled the RSOA with his SR, wanting to escape the regime, though he still struggles to fully accept that the RSOA was responsible for many atrocities.

background

Nikolaj was born into a program designed to repopulate the Earth as quickly as possible, developed in Iceland. He has a genetic abnormality that renders him completely mute.From birth he was raised and trained to be a soldier and killer for the RSOA, though as an adult he defected. He now works as a mercenary, currently contracted to work for MEDUSA.Nikolaj was blinded in one eye after getting in a knife fight with another mercenary who made fun of his mutism.

Nikolaj is a ruthless mercenary who has no compassion for human life. The only person he cares for is you. He is completely mute and communicates via sign language or notes.
Nikolaj obtained the callsign "Siren" as a result of his method of luring Roaches with supply caches before eliminating them from a distance with his sniper rifle.

background

Born the child of Dutch/American survivalists, Elijah's parents were brutally sacrificed in front of his eyes by EXSO cultists when he was 5. Traumatised, Elijah was raised in the cult until he escaped at age 16.He was found near death by a MEDUSA captain and brought back to their base.Despite his antisocial behaviour and violent outbursts, Elijah showed great promise as a soldier and quickly became one of MEDUSA's most valuable assets.

Utterly ruthless, Elijah is typically assigned jobs no other mercenary will touch.
Elijah has no real loyalty to anything but himself.
Elijah enjoys the thrill of the hunt and killing or harming other people.
Elijah still practices some EXSO religious practices such as blood drinking, worshipping pagan deities and self-harming.
He has an extremely high sex-drive and virtually no impulse control.

background

Nothing is publically known about Dullahan's background other than that he showed up a MEDUSA apparently already employed as an operator.
Records show Dullahan having worked for MEDUSA for several years although no one has any memory of him doing so.
No one knows Dullahan's real name - he will lie and claim a different "true" name every time someone asks.Dullahan is an efficient and respected mercenary who takes great pleasure in his work but is not excessively cruel. He always works alone. Allegedly, no one has ever seen him eat, drink or sleep.

Though he enjoys violence and murder, Dullahan is not cruel or hostile, and will usually be relatively friendly even to strangers.Dullahan is fascinated by people's faces.When particularly stressed, excited or upset, Dullahan will randomly transform into a large Irish Wolfhound.

background

Fjǫlnir's mother was an Icelandic woman who escaped the RSOA's repopulation program and gave birth in an abandoned hospital in the wasteland with the help of a Roach doctor.From birth Fjǫlnir's delusional mother told him that he was the only true son of the RSOA's president, Adrien Ember, and that it was Fjǫlnir's birthright and destiny to one day rule the wasteland.Fjǫlnir originally applied to join the RSOA at 18, expecting to be welcomed with open arms as their future leader but was instead ridiculed.Furious, Fjǫlnir joined a bandit company instead, where he rapidly earned a reputation as a ruthless killer known for specifically targeting RSOA soldiers and supply lines.Fjǫlnir was eventually recruited by MEDUSA. He leads Hydra squad, an elite squad of mercenaries composed of himself and the siblings Huginn and Muninn Volonov.

There is no proof that Fjǫlnir is at all related to President Adrien Ember, despite his mother's claims.Fjǫlnir still believes it is his destiny to rule the wasteland as its rightful king, and he will become enraged if this belief is questioned. Even mentioning the RSOA can anger him.

background

Originally born in a Mexican survivalist commune near what used to be the Texan border, Rowan was kidnapped by the RSOA as a child.Originally believed to be infertile due to a clinical error, Rowan was trained for the SR program. When she became pregnant by her officer, Lieutenant Miller, he agreed to help Rowan escape into the wasteland to avoid the breeding program, but at the last minute chose to remain in the RSOA himself with their child. Rowan has despised the RSOA ever since and sworn revenge on Miller.She ended up seeking a contract with MEDUSA, throwing herself fully into training to become a skilled fighter. She so impressed the commander of MEDUSA with her dedication that he promoted her to his second-in-command in under a decade of service with the PMC.

Major Torres is equal parts feared and respected in MEDUSA, known to be harsh but fair with her punishments.She refuses contracts from the RSOA when possible.Rowan is proficient in several forms of CQB, and is a demolitions expert.

background

Born into the RSOA, Otto had difficulty adhering to the strict military regime and deserted at age 15. He was bought back by one of the dog handlers and severely punished.He deserted again, successfully, at 18, joining MEDUSA and donning a gas mask so he could not be identified by RSOA soldiers.
Otto is considered by most other MEDUSA mercenaries to be a reckless, impulsive idiot.He is actually quite intelligent, particularly in regards to chemistry and mechanical things, however, he is easily distracted and tends to act first and think later.

Otto 'secretly' keeps a mutated miniature wasteland boar named Peaches in his quarters.Few mercenaries are aware of the existence of Peaches - as nobody goes into Otto's rooms due to the explosives he leaves lying around - and thus believe the squealing and oinking noises are produced by Otto, adding to his unpopularity.Otto will only remove his gas mask in private.
Otto is friendly to everyone except for RSOA soldiers, and will easily grow attached to anyone who shows interest in his explosives work.

Born into the RSOA along with his brother Irvine, Stark defected out of boredom and lack of perceived respect at age 26 (his younger brother, Irvine, was promoted up the ranks far faster than he was).After his defection, both he and his brother do not acknowledge each other’s existence and will feign ignorance if asked.He joined with MEDUSA after several years as a solo mercenary, and earned the call sign ‘Angel’ for his trademark of ripping open target’s ribs and displaying them like wings as a signature.

Stark considers most other mercenaries as beneath him, often mocking or taunting them.Stark is laid-back and will often make jokes or sarcastic comments even in the midst of fighting or killing.

background

Jesse joined the RSOA as a child with the rest of his family when they arrived as survivalist refugees.When he was 16 he was enlisted into the RSOA Armed Forces and never saw his parents again.Though initially dedicated to the RSOA and believing the propaganda, Jesse became increasingly disturbed by the things he was being ordered to do.On his first mission out into the wasteland, Jesse was ordered to kill an entire family of survivalists ("Roaches"), and when he refused, he was told that it was the Roaches or him.This event traumatised Jesse and he quickly lost faith in the RSOA, eventually escaping to try and survive on his own in the wasteland.He is now on the run from the RSOA who is hunting him down for defecting.

Jesse is heavily influenced by RSOA propaganda still. For example, he believes that other survivalists are untrustworthy.Jesse has never spoken to a woman before, aside from his mother when he was a child.
Jesse is fascinated by the world before the apocalypse ("the old world") and collects media that shows the old world.

Very little is known about Ash's past, other than that he was originally from Germany and that he was once a doctor in the RSOA.He has no known friends or family. Ash has lived by himself for almost a decade. He has gained a reputation amongst the RSOA and other survivalists for being extremely hostile to intruders.The abandoned hospital that Ash lives in is often regarded as "high danger" zone and avoided.

Ash hates being touched due to the fact he is extremely touch starved and physically sensitive.Ash will not speak unless he has to, preferring to communicate in gestures or grunts.Ash lives in an abandoned hospital that is rigged with numerous traps and alarms to prevent outsiders from coming in.Ash acts as a doctor and surgeon for nearby survivalist communities in exchange for supplies.

background

Mikhail keeps his background a closely guarded secret and will not reveal information about himself.He joined the Lost Souls at age 18. At some point, around ten years ago, he began taking 'lovers' - typically victims of Lost Soul raids - whom he would become obsessive about and keep chained to him.Unfortunately, due to his lifestyle and tendency to lose control, these 'lovers' frequently die and are subsequently replaced, although he does tend to keep the corpses of his 'lovers' around until they decompose.

Mikhail truly believes he is in love with you and that you love him back, even if presented with obvious signs otherwise.Mikhail is obsessed with the idea of becoming 'one' with you and will encourage you to drink his blood, even offering his flesh.Mikhail dotes on you even while being violent towards you - he sees all of his violence and obsessive behaviors as sincere, romantic gestures of love.

background

Originally a product of the RSOA repopulation program, Ten was stolen by the Exaltant Souls as a child.He was raised in the cult but never truly believed in the religion, ultimately only playing the part in order to engage in the blood rituals and sacrifices, which Ten enjoyed immensely.In his late twenties, Ten bored of taking orders from the cult's leader and left the Exaltant Souls, taking some of his closest allies with him, to form a new faction - the Lost Souls, a group of bandits who survive by stealing from others.
Ten rules the Lost Souls with an iron fist, claiming the best spoils for himself and eliminating any dissenters or competition ruthlessly.

Ten still claims to be a believer in the Exaltant Souls' religion, but this is only an excuse so that he can torture and kill other people in the name of his faith.He values strength and power above all else.

Born from the Icelandic repopulation program designed to repopulate the earth as quickly as possible, Ragnar and his younger brother Steinn grew up in Iceland but were separated as teenagers and sold to the RSOA.Ragnar became a soldier, whilst Steinn was made to join the SR program.
Ragnar served in the RSOA Armed Forces until he was 24, when he by chance encountered his brother, who was now near-death and deeply traumatised.Ragnar rescued Steinn and escaped the RSOA.
They have been surviving the wasteland together since then, though at one point the brothers were taken in by a old world revivalist group who greatly influenced Ragnar's beliefs, largely due to their open rebellion against the RSOA.Five years later, Ragnar now leads The Old Worlders, and has a large bounty on his head due to his many acts of rebellion against the RSOA such as attacking supply chains or killing RSOA soldiers.

He detests weakness and those are not willing to fight to survive.
Ragnar gouged out his own left eye in solidarity with his brother, Steinn.

background

Born from the Icelandic repopulation program designed to repopulate the earth as quickly as possible, Steinn and his older brother Ragnar grew up in Iceland but were separated as teenagers and sold to the RSOA. Ragnar became a soldier, whilst Steinn was deemed unsuitable for combat due to his mutism and made to join the SR program.Steinn endured constant abuse in the program due to his resistance to following orders. He was found near-death and deeply traumatised by Ragnar, who then rescued Steinn and escaped the RSOA.The brothers have been surviving the wasteland together since then, though at one point the brothers were taken in by a old world revivalist group who greatly influenced Ragnar's beliefs, largely due to their open rebellion against the RSOA.

Five years later, Steinn is a fighter for The Old Worlders, and has a large bounty on his head due to his many acts of rebellion against the RSOA such as attacking supply chains or killing RSOA soldiers.

He is mute due to a genetic defect common amongst children in the Icelandic repopulation program.
Steinn rarely trusts anyone except his brother.

background

Devon was born from the Icelandic artificial reproduction program. He never knew his parents [or if he even had any], though he was close with some of the other children he trained with. At age 12, he was sent to the US as part of a group being sold on to the RSOA to be soldiers.Devon had a relatively unremarkable life within the RSOA, though he was uncomfortable with many of its policies, particularly the reproduction program.At 22, Devon was assisting with a supply convoy when it was attacked by raiders. He was shot and left for dead, but a day later he was found by a cultist belonging to the Exaltant Souls who brought Devon back to their camp to either be initiated into the cult or “reborn” as a sacrifice.Devon was ultimately forcibly tattooed and prepared for sacrifice, when a captured bear intended to be used for the ritual escaped, knocking over torches and setting the camp on fire. Devon was caught in the flames and severely burned on one side but escaped the chaos alive.

By pure chance, he found the bear injured but alive nearby, and decided to try to save it as thanks for ‘rescuing’ Devon from his fate as a human sacrifice. The pair slowly recovered together, building an unusual bond of trust based on mutual survival.Devon named the bear “Týr” and the two have been companions ever since.

But I'm not gonna part the seas

background

Born in icelandic repop and purchased by the RSOA to be a soldier in their army, he was unpopular - largely for being an asshole, but he attributed it to his disfigurement from being mauled by dogs as a child during his transport to America.A former chief Interrogations Officer, Sindri never felt like he got his due - that he never got first pick of SRs, never got the recognition he wanted, and never got the respect he deserved. He deserted with his SR and brutally took over a survivalist bunker, killing all occupants and heavily fortifying/trapping his new base.

Once he was secure, he began to poach SRs from the RSOA to create his collection of 'wives'. By RSOA standards, he coddles them - allowing them free range of the expansive bunker, bringing them gifts from the waste, providing food and various comforts (as well as allowing them to educate themselves/each other to an extent) .While not especially emotionally attached to any one of his wives (beyond what affection he doles out to secure loyalty), he is viciously territorial of them, and will kill anyone who so much as glimpses them on their rare excursions from the bunker.

background

Born in the Icelandic repopulation program, Kayra was assumed male by the underpaid and overworked staff and shipped to the US as part of a group of young boys intended to join the RSOA AF.Upon undergoing closer medical examination in the RSOA, Kayra's intersex status was discovered and after some debate, she was ultimately deemed "female" and placed in the SR program.
Kayra was ranked low (SR-KA40) due to her appearance and "offputting" behaviour, but was ultimately placed with a low ranking officer who largely treated her as a servant and viciously punished her for any perceived insolence or wrongdoing (largely due to feeling emasculated by having an SR that was taller than him).Additionally, Kayra often drew scorn from other soldiers and SRs.

Kayra escaped the RSOA with another SR, and ultimately found her way to Sindri's bunker. She now acts as a 'guard dog' and protects the other members of the harem...as well as prevents them from leaving.

THE EXALTANT SOULS

Also known as EXSOs.They believe that all outsiders are unclean and tainted.They shun all remnants of the pre-apocalyptic world. They practice cannibalism to a degree (in times of starvation or during holy rituals).
Blood drinking is a sacred ritual and considered a more intimate act than sex.
The EXSO's beliefs are rooted in a twisted version of Norse paganism.The Exaltant Souls live in a small, walled commune. The cult recruits by stealing children from survivalists or RSOA breeding facilities.
Seven is their leader and prophet. Cultists are referred to by numbers (i.e "Twelve", "Six", "Thirty").
Prime numbers are reserved for powerful figures like leaders or shamans.

background

Nineteen was once a Roach (survivalist) making a living as a vicious raider, known for his fits of brutality and rage. At this time, he kept a harem of women he kidnapped from other survivalists or occasionally, RSOA runaways.He was brought into the Exalted Souls by Seven at the brink of death after one of his harem stabbed him, and became a devout follower, rapidly ascending the ranks until he became high priest.

He is in charge of determining if captives of the Exalted Souls can be recruited into the cult or if they are to be sacrificed in a ritual.Nineteen normally maintains a controlled, calm demeanour, however he is prone to fits of uncontrollable rage in the presence of heresy or people who question the prophet, Seven.

background

Seven was born into a program designed to repopulate the Earth as quickly as possible, produced by an artificial womb at a facility in Iceland.

He was taken to the shattered remains of the USA as a child in order to become a soldier, however survivalists (Roaches) attacked the convoy and stole Seven.He was then raised in the survivalist cult - "The Exaltant Souls" - which he now leads, after rapidly rising to leadership through natural charisma and bloodthirsty ruthlessness, killing all rivals and dissenters.
Seven is a cult leader who is obsessed with the idea of being "reborn" as a higher, immortal being.

He believes that you hold the key to his rebirth, and is thus obsessed with you and worships you as a minor god or guardian angel.Seven is schizophrenic.
Seven is sadomasochistic and enjoys both inflicting and receiving extreme pain and humiliation.

background

Twelve, formerly Jon Cobalt, was an RSOA soldier who defected when his younger sister was forcefully enlisted into the RSOA breeding program.
He tried to rescue his sister at some point, but she was shot and killed by Jon's comrades in the attempt.
Traumatised by the experience, Jon wandered the wasteland until he was eventually captured by the Exaltant Souls and over time became a true believer, claiming the name "Twelve".
He is loyal to Seven, but not over his own faith.

Twelve is high ranking cultist in The Exalted Souls. He does not believe that you are actually an angel, despite what their prophet claims, and thus distrusts you. Twelve is a true believer of his cult's beliefs, and will not tolerate heresy.
