Okay character time, no pictures yet and I'll flesh things out as I get more of a feel for the characters. Will work on my first post later today
Main faction leaders:
Brigadier General Edward Bannon, NRA/RMC
Late of the Rubinelle Marine Corps Ed Bannon was one of the few high ranking officers to survive the cataclysm. A major in charge of what was left of a Marine battalion. He spent several weeks wandering the wasteland, gathering other survivors. He was eventually able to make contact with what was left of the Rubinelle Army. His unit was folded into the newly formed New Rubinelle Army. He quickly came to the conclusion that Admiral Greyfield was insane, but continued to serve under banner of the NRA with the hopes of one day re-establishing Rubinelle's armed forces, with or without Grayfield.
Major Jim Waylon, NRA/RAF
Waylon was a up and coming pilot before the cataclysm, afterwards he tried to fight the looters and raiders with several of his old unit mates, to little success. He quickly came to the attention of Admiral Greyfield as a like minded individual, serving as the man's right hand man for several months. After the admiral's death, he tried to flee but ran into General Bannon's forces. His status is still undetermined.
Other OCs:
