Some Other Agents

(May not end up being canon, just some idle fun - Steve)

FIELD TEAM BRAVO

FIRST LIEUTENANT KATE DAINES: A graduate from West Point and an exemplary Navy officer, First Lt Daines was recruited into DIA security before her “accident”. While working on a protection detail for a FEAR team she encountered a magical anomaly which subsequently rendered her extremely lucky. This typically manifests as being a crack shot, but she can also guess pass codes and combinations. For the most part, however, her strength is her in-depth knowledge of the US intelligence agencies and protocols.

AGENT SIMON GOODWIN: Agent Goodwin is perhaps the smartest man alive, with what appears to be a superhuman gift for absorbing knowledge and solving problems – yet he also appears to have no supernatural powers whatsoever. Even with the HERMES database he is incredibly useful to any field team.

AGENT HUDSON ARCTOS: Agent Arctos was found abandoned near Hudson Bay, presumably because is mother was unable to raise a full litter given the threat to her environment. He was deemed a good candidate for a special scientific project involving inserted cybernetic intelligence. Of all the subjects, he is so far the only success. As an eight-foot tall Kodiak bear with a computer in his skull, he is a powerhouse of strength for FEAR.

AGENT HELENE CHALOT: Agent Chalot describes herself as “a vampiric shadow who feeds on emotion, but really just a simple country girl at heart.” She is currently working for FEAR in exchange for reducing her prison sentence for several counts of theft and murder.

FIELD TEAM CHARLIE

SPECIAL AGENT JAMES OXFORD: Since puberty, Oxford has had the ability to heat his skin to extreme temperatures, so much so that he can ignite what he touches. Wearing specially ventilated asbestos gloves he is also a deadly close combatant. He has taken the name “Hotshot” on agency blogs.

SECURITY OFFICER JOHN KEPLER: A skilled psychic, with a strong talent for psychometry and a unparalleled ability to talk to animals. Can often be distracted by pursuing the latter as a hobby or source of amusement. An Englishman, on loan from MI7, an unwilling to divulge the details of his history with that organization.

AGENT TANIA CARSON: Agent Carson was also a victim of misadventure. A mountain climber by trade she almost fell to her death before a hand pulled her up – her own. Able to manifest two independent clones of herself at once, Carson can be a deadly close-combat opponent and a powerful distraction.

AGENT CALAO HUSK: Calao was mummified at the tender age of 13 deep within the Aztec city of Tecnotitlan. The spells cast on her were supposed to resurrect her as a powerful warrior when the apocalypse came. Unfortunately, over the millennia strangler fig roots found their way into the tomb and fed off the organic remains of the girl and her mind. Now she is a living vine with the memories and personality of an Aztec girl. Like many agents, FEAR is helping her rehabilitate as well as using her abilities.

FIELD TEAM DELTA

SPECIAL AGENT OLIVIA ARAGONES: Agent Aragones’ mother was gang-raped by some kind of alien beings in order to create a new leader for the human race. The child that resulted was super strong and possessed strong psychic abilities as well as a few mental and nerve system disorders – and a chip on her shoulder about aliens. She is an excellent field agent and a skilled negotiator.

AGENT CASEY BROWN: Born with a terrible bone defect and a bizarre skin flap under his arms, Agent Brown has been at times identified as a medical disaster, a biological deformity, an alien-human hybrid and the next step in human evolution. Regardless of why, the combination of these two things allow him to fly like an albatross and dive like a raptor. He is also a talented scientist and avid student of all things natural and supernatural.

AGENT GRAHAME WINDDUST: Agent Winddust claims that Coyote incarnated one of her children inside him, causing him to think and feel like a coyote, trapped in a man’s body. Again, regardless of why, he has a phenomenal sense of smell and can sense things in the spiritual world as well. A borderline alcoholic but his tracking abilities are unrivaled. He can also talk to Coyote in “person”, a feat of channeling beyond any other known to FEAR.

AGENT FEI-HONG: Agent Hong is an “Atlantean” a race of effectively unaging beings that have seemingly existed on earth for tens of thousands of years. A master of “Shambala”, a bizarre Tibetan martial art, he can traverse the earth through secret tunnels, enter dreams and may have been responsible for the creation of both Buddhism and Christianity, among other things. He wandered to the United States during the Gold Rush to prepare for something he calls “Tenshi”.




FIELD TEAM ECHO

SPECIAL AGENT TEMPLETON HOROS: A clockwork device built by Isaac Newton and Francis Bacon, Agent Horos was discovered buried beneath a Salzburg church stacked with plague dead. Apparently a keeper of the secrets of the Priory of the Scion, he has joined FEAR to prevent the coming of what the Templars know as The Second Apocalypse.

AGENT JAMES MORRISON: The very same lead singer of 1960’s rock band The Doors. His death was not faked, but his resurrection from his Paris grave remains top secret, as does his cravings for human flesh. Regular trips to the morgue solve the latter problem, and he remains a good agent with a strong talent for sorcery.

AGENT WILLIAM PESCOS: In the 1970s, attendees at the Burning Man festival attempted to summon up ancient heroes from America’s legends. “Pescos Bill” was the only successful result. As in his stories, he can ride and rope anything, and shoot faster than the eye can see. He seems content to work as a “regulator” although frequently goes AWOL, much to the frustration of his commanders.

AGENT JOAN DARK: A combination of the spirit of Joan of Arc and a nineteen year old American college student has created an agent with a split personality but also the command of some terrifying faith-based powers. Unpredictable but a staunch ally when she is in command of herself.

  1. I'm getting goosebumps from all the urban fantasy goodness.

    Though, in respect to the modern trend in urban fantasy, I note no-one's having sex with a vampire or werewolf (or a vampiric werewolf). Should we fix that?

  2. Maybe we should just get the vampires fixed...
