The Caduceaus
- Ultimate Trinity - This young and beautiful captain of the Caduceaus has two sides to her personality. At first glance, she is a motherly figure who adores all children. She would give anything and everything for them. However, her second side is quite a contrast. UT is the sword-toting mediator who incessantly seeks and destroys all evil and injustice. She wields a double-bladed katana in her black, leather outfit. Foes must be wary, for UT holds the awesome ability to control her surrounding environment with her mind - She has been known to lift items as large as a car and hurl them at her enemies, using nothing but her thoughts.

- MacLeod - One of the few to use a fake surname as his pre-freed hacker-era callsign, the second officer of the medical ship Caduceaus is a man of contrasts. An asian, he still adopts a pseaudo-code of honour and integrity wherever he goes. Sporting a short moustache, a personal ivory katana, every sword-wielding skill available in programs and more, he treads the fine line between his warrior and mediator natures. It is this constant balance that has helped him serve to his fullest on the good ship Caduceaus. Though he has a wide variety of swords at his disposal, his favorite is a certain sword which can cut through anything and anyone within the Matrix seamlessly, similar to a lightsaber.

- Sparky667 - A hairy fellow standing at a mighty 5 feet 5 inches, he has been seen practicing hypnosis on people within the Matrix, forcing them to believe they are fountain pens at the snap of his fingers. He sports a long, black jacket similar to Neo's. Though he has many firearms to choose from, the only thing he has ever shot was a tin can and some flies. In real life, he is an excellent hacker. He's a vodka man, and loves Russia!

- Sync (A.K.A Raj Against The Machine) - Faithful member of the Caduceaus. Throughout the years he has came to be known by the name "Sync," as too much time has been wasted in the past sounding off his full name. Within the Matrix, he wears a full-length, black trenchcoat with shades. He can soar through the sky, flying like Neo. His style when handling guns is very similar to that portrayed in "Equilibrium."

- NMN - NMN, an acronym that lies in mystery, a mystery that his dead parents don't even know. He has been medic of the Caduceus for as long as he can remember, aiding UT whenever he can. In the real world, he is considered the best and fastest medic the fleet has. In the Matrix, his speed comes into being, as he can move faster than the agents, and even faster than Neo. He cannot fly, but his ground speed is blazingly fast. He has never been caught by an agent, and never will.

The Mjolnir
- Valasher - The newly assigned captain of the Mjolnir, who recently succeeded the late Haxxor. Her strong will and clear perception guides her through dark times. She has unwaivering faith in her crew - Or, rather, she has unwaivering faith that her ship will soon be assigned several crew members ('tis a great ship to join). When one encounters her in the Matrix, her signature scarlet outfit will leave a large impression. She sports a soft, white fitted waistcoat with a thin collar and a red shirt under it. Tight, red leather pants cover her legs, as scarlet knee-high boots with sharp, pointed heels cover her feet. Her weapon of choice is none other than a Katana. Finally, Valasher displays a most peculiar ability: She can crawl along ceilings and walls, creeping, ready to pounce on opponents - similar to Spiderman.

- Neo Xavier McLeod - Always helpful, NXM faithfully operates the Mjolnir. Whenever someone has a psyical or mental problem, they know they can turn to him for guidance. During most of his free time he can be found meditating, as he is very spiritual. It is because of this attribute that he enjoys the company of the Oracle so much - They are good friends. Within the Matrix he is slightly telekinetic - a power which he progressively augments.

The Nebuchadnezzar
Kara- A Neb crew member, Kara has a lean, sinewy frame that allows her to move similar to a cat. Outside the matrix, she wears a ratty grey shirt and black pants, with her long, blonde, curly hair almost always down unless she is working on something. In that case, it is tied back. Within the matrix, she is clothed in a shiny black cat suit. Kara is extremely tricky when provided with a staff, which she can beat her enemies senseless with. Getting in her way when she is in a hurry is the absolute worst thing you can do.

The Novalis
- HomoUniversalis - An Illuminatus dressed in white, a clear metaphor to his enlightened state. He no longer wears sunglasses, and his eery white eyes false shed people into the illusion that he is blind. A grandmaster in Aikido, no force can overcome him, only speed. His obsession for things that are beyond his grasp have often brought him into danger, and greater sorrow. At certain awkward times, he has been caught tapdancing, but his the ability that is most unique to him is his regeneration. His wounds - bullet shots, etc. - heal and disappear within minutes.

The Osiris
- Freddy (Krueger) - The honorable captain of the Osiris. One can always recognize wearing his signature clothing: A long, dark, red jacket with a white undershirt and black pants and shoes. He has pointy black hair, complimenting his dark-toned outfit. Freddy's weapon of choice is virtually any sword, as he despises guns. However, at times he may not be in need of any weapon at all, for he has developed the awesome ability to project balls of energy or energy wave's from his hands. Like Neo, he too can fly.

- PsycikPsycho - A woman of few fears, Psy is often found seeking out trouble anywhere she can find it. Dressed in a floor-length dark silver (almost black) trench coat, blood-red shirt and pants, and heeled combat boots, she's always prepared to kill. Although she's a gunner, her first love will always be the carbon-steel bladed set of double broadswords strapped to her back. As adventurous as she tends to be, Psy has a knack of getting herself into more trouble than she bargained for. Some may have trouble recognizing her in the Matrix for she can take the appearance of other people and programs.

- ThereIsNoMatrix - The Grand Councilor stationed aboard the Osiris. Close friends call him Betty. Though he may appear insane in the real world, he is a threat to be reckoned within the Matrix, wielding a deadly array of firepower with an advanced knowledge of kung-fu to fall back on. He is fascinated with Smith and is dressed in a suit much like Smith's. Over time, he has developed the amazing ability to take the appearance of any code he comes in contact with, morphing into that object of person.

- AlmightyOne - A faithful crew member of the Osiris, AlmightyOne is a fearless warrior in the Matrix. He can be found wearing a black trenchcoat covered with green lightning bolts and matching pants most of the time. Steel-toed boots cover is feet, and his foes are sure to never forget him once their faces meet his boot. Whether it be with a K-47 or his bare hands, he is sure to be victorious in any fight. He has also developed a special ability which many covet: He is invincible to harm and pain. Like Neo, he has been known to counter swords with his bare hands without any harm.

- Helios - Master of the flame, Operator of the Osiris, fearing nothing he is always glad to help stir some chaos. Most of the time he can be seen wearing all black or dark blue. When cornered he will literally do anything to escape. His love of fire almost goes into a pyschotic obsession, whenever there is some mysterious fire he is usually to blame. While in the matrix, he is unrecognizable, as he desguises himself as an agent. He has mastered control over fire and nearly all forms of energy in the matrix. His vast amount of pyro-related knowledge allows him to accomplish amazing feats - even flying, creating amazingly high thermal temperatures.

- Kobra - Kobra, an evil side of himself called the Omega Ascendant. Totally obsessed with evil tactics and plans, he held a long list of bad records inside the Matrix system. He was rescued and joined The Osiris crew quite some time ago. Being diligent and tough among the other members, he outsmarted them and got promoted as an Osiris gunner. Totally loyal to Freddy and protective to all the crew members, Kobra is committed to leading Zion to victory. When hacked into the matrix, he wears a dark grey robe with several red streaks. His hair is natural black and spikey. He is always armed with dual Desert Eagles and a retractable force lance for self-defense. His shooting skills are always number nothing short of spectacular.

- Snickers - He is the back-up operator of the Osiris, filling Helios' position when he is inside the Matrix. Snickers is NOT a real member of this forum.
