A former superstar collegiate athlete with the world as his oyster, Clint’s combination of athletic ability, competitiveness, and drive, made him the most sought after collegiate athlete in recent memory. But Clint got in with some bad people and made some questionable decisions that got him banned from the NFL. He’s since managed to clean up his life, but gave up his stardom in the process. He currently works as a Beat Cop for the NCPD.

Clint’s 15 year old son. Malcolm De la Cruz lives with his mother and wealthy stepdad 95% of the time. He’s smart, and has an affinity for robotics and engineering. In fact, he’s a bit of a prodigy in that arena. Malcolm’s biggest passion though, is RAMGOD. His favorite team is the Barracudas, with whom he has developed a bit of an obsession.

Clint’s A.I. Bot partner. As part of the NCPD’s Community Beat Program, every human Beat Cop must have a Bot partner that keeps tabs on everything going on - essentially serving as a way more reliable replacement for the body camera. The BC Bots are purposely designed to have little or no personality, as their primary function is to add a level of accountability to the police department. When we first meet BC318, he is just like all of the other Bots - very one dimensional and robotic, but he somehow begins to develop a personality (and an admiration for Bruce Lee) after spending time with the young aspiring engineer, Malcolm.

The (Ring)leader of the Barracudas. He’s got the bravado and eccentric cultish leadership prowess of a Tyler Durden (Fight Club). He’s a man of the people and has become a bit of a preacher. He thoroughly understands the importance of utilizing his platform, and has used it to cultivate a devout following of fans known as “Guppies”. Kirin fully buys into his own “bullshit” and thinks of himself as some sort of savior. He’s a phenomenal athlete who claims to act on instinct, but actually always has a well thought out plan.

She’s tough as nails and sharp as a razor. You would think after meeting her, that she came from a rough upbringing, but what we will discover is that she is actually the only child of the founder and CEO of Orbi (who also owns one of the other teams in RAMGOD). She had everything handed to her on a silver platter, but instead chose to reject it all, instead carving her own path without the help of her family or their money. Being self made is everything to her. Elsa is the backbone of the team, and someone who all the members seem to really trust and admire.

He is not a player on the team, but is equally as valuable. He is the lead engineer of the group. While many of the teams in RAMGOD rely on their corporate sponsorships to provide the engineers and tech for the Games, The Barracuda's rely primarily on Trux for this. He can build and code pretty much anything. But because he is just one man, he can’t do everything by himself. He has a snidely playful personality, and is agonizingly sarcastic - his insults are almost too intelligent for the average person to process quick enough for a retort. He’s queer, and open about it, something that Malcolm will ultimately draw confidence from.

Meet the Barracudas’ Bot teammate: Vex. A flamboyant crossdressing AI, with a penchant for violence and overall badassery. Vex is a repurposed Utility Bot Base Model that Trux has completely rebuilt and customized. Trux has programmed such a unique persona into Vex, that she appears to be sentient even though she is not. The two of them (Vex and Trux) have a special bond.

needs to be, right?” -- He’ll do whatever he can to gain an advantage, evident by the numerous blackmarket Mods he sports. Remmer is feared by other teams, and even his own team, but make no mistake, they appreciate having him on their side. He’s extremely protective of his crew, and does not take well to newcomers like Clint. But as Clint’s inner demons begin to resurface, Remmer finds himself starting to appreciate his new teammate.

A relative newcomer to the sport, Wood burst onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere two seasons ago, and has been the highest performing player in the league, and the reigning MVP. But RAMGOD is a team sport, and Wood hasn’t made it to the finals since entering the league. He’s a man of few words, choosing to let his actions do the talking. With his contract expiring at the end of the season, and the league expanding to 6 player teams, there is growing speculation that Wood will join the “people’s team”, and sign with the Barracudas, as their fans also want to see it happen.

Clint’s godfather, and a high ranking member of the Chinese mob. Mr Xiāo’s son, Kevin was a childhood friend and former teammate of Clint’s. As Clint’s star power grew, so did Mr Xiāo’s interest (and involvement) in Clint’s affairs. He slowly manipulated Clint into getting involved with his “people” promising that “no one has your best interests at heart as much as I do.”

Current President and CEO of Syphon, havingi inherited his late father’s company (and giant shoes to fill). In his Will, Declan’s father made sure to prevent his son from having unilateral control of the company, splitting up his voting shares amongst the Board, so that they would provide the necessary checks and balances. In order for Declan to take control of the company and himself, and activate the changes that he believes will help the world, he will have to get his hands a little dirty.

The ever eccentric Commissioner of the Games, Markos Madsen is as much a showman as he is a businessman. As one of the key pioneers who brought the sport to life, Markos is the main spokesperson for RAMGOD. He has become obsessed with the ratings, and is constantly looking for ways to grow the sport and its influence on the world, forever prioritizing the ends above the means.

Malcolm’s mom, and Clint’s fiery ex. Don’t get on her bad side.
