Purist build
This Team of Studlander Commandos is sent out on potentially dangerous missions on uncharted worlds. Each one brings their own special weapons and skills to the team.


Lucivyr

Nervyr's Demonic counterpart has joined Bertinator after his escapades in Hell and is now part of Studlands Special Task Force. He uses his infernal powers to magically support his squadmates.

Officer

The Leader of the Task Force keeps the other crazies in check. He therefore is the most important part of the Squad. At least in his eyes. The rest of the Task Force don't understand why grabbing an electric staff made him special, but as long as he doesn't fuck up too badly on missions, they tolerate him.

Heavy

The only other survivor of Bertinator's escort to hell. The Rocketeer was rewarded for her services in the other dimension by being integrated into the Task force (and, more importantly, by being given more heavy weapons)

Vanguard

The Vanguard is equipped for close combat encounters. She uses her speed to get in the enemy's faces and vaporize them with her shotgun and/or energy machete.

Bulwark

The Bulwark's Main task is defense. He is equipped with powerful energy Shield emitters in his armor and gauntlet and serves as a barrier between his squad and any incoming pain. But because only getting shot would be boring, he also grabbed a Studland Machine Pistol on his way through the Portal.

Tech

While he officially joined the Task Force for Highway-Portal related works (making sure it brings the squad where they want to go), the Tech actually just wanted some frontline action to test some of his experimental weapons, like his Shock-Gun and remote controlled Sentry Bot.

Laser Trooper

Studland High Command one day got some alien weapons in the mail. They didn't know where they came from or how to use it, so they decided to modify them a bit, give them to some unsuspecting studlander and tie a fusion reactor on his back to power the new Laser cannons. Surely he won't explode.

Sniper

The last member of the Task Force is this robot Sniper. He balances being the shortest member of the group by having the longest range (and, arguably, the highest precision, though that's hard to tell with all the explosions and arc fire his squadmates dish out) of the team.
