Howard: "We haven't known each other for long."

Don: "There's Steve and Charlie. They were among the first to join our little group. Charlie's an uplifted Badger, an ex police officer, and a custodian at the college during his retirement. He joined up, feeling his digging skills and physical strength would be an asset. Steve on the other hand is an uplifted rabbit and our ancient language expert. He's the one we call when we need precursor text translated."

"Then there's Zeke and Rowan, two anthropomorph brothers who live in Hopefall. The two come from a village that places a high importance on forging and a sort of ancestor worship. They're both skilled with swords, and Zeke is a bit of a rogue in that he's good at moving around unseen. Their swords are, apparently, forged using the souls of their ancestors. I have to admit, I had my doubts about whether that was really the case, but then we met this weird guy called Nikolai..."

"Anyway... Then we've got Dakota. He joined right after the attack on Hopefall. He's a Kangaroo, and has a lot of experience as an archaeologist. Always good to have more experience around. And then, finally, there's Hawk. He was apparently a Champion, but apparently left before the Cataclysm. He doesn't know what happened."
