Character: Phillip Santorini, aka PHLP Faction: Crypto Priority: 9 no I didn't have to go find the initial plotting post because I didn't remember what I made him, why? Purpose: PHLP largely deals with de-rezzed data; he can collect it from discs or the area in which programs have been de-rezzed, and then attempts to sort it and make it, you know. Understandable.
Character: Claudia Donovan (CLAUDIA, don't ask me what it stands for I suck at these backronyms) Faction: Crypto Priority: 10 Purpose: Maintenance and archiving. CLAUDIA and the rest of her suite holed up in the armory at the north end of the Grid when the Automata corruption was first unleashed, and didn't get word of what was going on last jaunt until right near the end.
Character: Riddick, program name R1DK-B Faction: Crypto Priority: 2 or 3, way up there Purpose: Defense and protection, he's technically a firewall. A really big one. He has various smaller functions like tinkering with devices and such, and definite offense capability to go with the defense, as Cryptos usually do, but defense is his main purpose.
Character: Kanji Tatsumi / TATSU-3 Faction: Miner/Automata Priority: A very buggy 13; infection makes this unreliable. Purpose: Signal decoding and analysis; specialising in handling and decoding corrupted and potentially infected transmissions.
Character: Naoto Shirogane, aka SHIRO. (Note: SHIRO is genderless, and goes by 'it'. That's what it wants.) Faction: Revolutionary #1 Priority: .... are you kidding? Purpose: Create a free and open Grid for all Programs, whether part of the Revolutionary faction or not. SHIRO is the leader of the Revolutionaries.
Character: Altaïr ibn La-Ahad, a.k.a. ALT Faction: Crypto Priority: 7. (He's got the mettle to go higher, but he should prove he's fully recovered from his injuries, physically and mentally.) Purpose: On the surface, protection of Cryptos and their secrets, up to and including spying and assassination, with the caveat that he should champion the safety, freedom, and peace of all. When he's not inventing small weapons and armor, discussing the philosophy of SAGE, or encrypting/hiding archives, he trains extensively. He sustained serious injuries while fighting Automata early last Jaunt and only woke up (again) after it was over.
Character: Matthew Swift, infiltrating as MATH-U (Messages and Telecommunications Heuristics - Urban) and 4NG3LZ (no backronym; their name is the 'random string of letters' type) Faction: Miner for MATH-U, Automata for 4NG3LZ Priority: Used to be 11, but has since dropped to 15 (this is very tentative; this might change depending on answers about how programs rise and fall in terms of Priority) Purpose: Designed to work together with his sister program THORN-E, MATH-U's Purpose is to seek, find, and map out communications systems and networks in urban areas. This covers both finding new networks and also searching for problems and anomalies in already mapped networks.
Character: Thorne/THORN-E (Telecommunications Heuristics Operational Research Nethack-Experimental) Faction: Miner/Automata (partially restored to original faction) Priority: 7, to the extent she's still affected by it. Was 11 while she was paired with MATH-U. Purpose: Originally, to follow alongside her brother Program MATH-U while he searched for communications systems in urban areas and run stress and diagnostics tests on those networks. Currently, re-rezzing de-rezzed Programs and perfecting her system for doing so.
Character: Eren Jaeger, aka ERR-N (ERror Resolution - Newline) Faction: Revolutionary Priority: FREEDOM!! (in other words as a Revolutionary he has no Priority) Purpose: To defend and protect his fellow programs, and to eliminate threats. Also to help with exploring and reclaiming new areas, and helping to ensure those areas are and remain safe.
Character: Yukino Mayuzumi, aka Ψ-QCI (QCI for short) Faction: Crypto Priority: 5 Purpose:Counterprogramming. She's essentially an anti-malware program, designed to rapidly analyze, counter, and neutralize threats. She spent the first Grid Jaunt trapped in a collapsed structure in one of the unexplored sectors.
Character: Madoka Mawaru / Military Antiviral Defense Optimization Compiler Application Faction: Defender Priority: 13 Purpose: The creation, repair, and optimization of weapons and other tactical Functions.
Character: RICA, Rapid Information Crypto-Analysis Faction: Crypto Priority: Respected mid-priority, 8; never in command, but always with welcome suggestions. Purpose: Recovering lost data; Interpreting the intentions of SAGE, ROSE and other Users as best as she can. Basically, she writes midrash.
Of late, getting a little creeped out by the presence of MIR-CL.
Character: IOUHEI 1.5 Faction: Crypto Priority: 6 Purpose: His antecedent's Purpose involved researching ways to subdue, rehabilitate, and/or tame Automata. IOUHEI 1.5 has inherited that to an extent, although nowadays his focus is more towards looking for a cure for the Automata and possibly monitoring their health.
On the second week of the Jaunt, Raidou will end up inhabiting him via Infiltrator Persona. He will not be happy about this. IOUHEI 1.5 will just be sorry he missed it.
Character: SHIN-G II Faction: Defender Priority: 14 Purpose: the Security Heuristic Invasive Navigator program is designed to make contact with hostile data structures and map their power, transportation, and information infrastructure via Data-Spike.
Character: BAR-3 Faction: Miner Priority: 9 Purpose: this Research Program is custom-built to try and learn more about any quirks in Programs on the Grid that may have occurred due to their extreme isolation and extenuating circumstances. However, his somewhat lacking Priority may make this difficult.
Character: Kanji "Ochre" Tatsumi, OAK-R Faction: Defender Priority: 13 Purpose: Subduing and capturing hostiles, particularly with an eye towards holding them long enough for them to be scanned and the data analysed.
Character: R15E Faction: Miner Priority: 15 Purpose: R15E is a basic helper program, designed specifically and almost entirely for mapping and serving as an early warning system against potential hazards. She is extremely committed to her role as an explorer and loves gathering new information.
Character: Haru Okumura / HARU (what ok it's not creative but.) Faction: Defender Priority: 8 (recently upgraded...) Purpose: ID disk screening, analysis and retrieval; investigation of corrupted individuals backed with a big axe.
Character: Shinjiro Aragaki/SHINJI (sometimes SHINJI-1, just to help differentiate between him and SHIN-G up there.) Faction: Defender Priority: 4, thank you Royal Treatment Purpose: He's here to look after the Programs in his care and deal with known threats.
SHINJI's brother Program, AKI, is not on this mission. He's more likely to give requests than orders - if he's giving you an order, either he was ordered to do so himself or you done screwed up. There are occasions where he will either follow the letter or the spirit of an order - enough to fulfill the instinctive urge to follow commands, but not necessarily what the higher-Priority Program behind the order meant. (This has at least once included throwing another Program under the bus for giving him a bad order to pass down - 'they told me to.')
