The Games

The Arena Eternal is an extradimensional structure created by the Vadrigar and populated with the greatest warriors in all of time and space. In order to survive there, you'll need to know a little bit about your enemies, weapons, and the environment in which you'll be fighting.

In addition to you, there are 32 computer-controlled gladiators residing in the arena. Each of them is a deadly warrior with his or her own personality and tactics. Some are tougher than others, as you'll quickly learn in battle.

Anarki (Cybronic Human): Always seeking an edge, this cyber-board surfer paid with his humanity for a seemingly endless array of cybronic implants.

Angel (Humanoid Robot): Although certainly not a classical beauty, Angel was created by a sculptor to be his ideal companion. She quickly proved herself to be a creature of hate, not love-killing her maker in a berserk fury.

Biker (Human): Biker is crude and coarse: a bully who gets his kicks out of hammering helpless opponents. He may not be smart or brave, but he's brutal as hell.

Bitterman (Human): This hero of the Strogg War may also be its most tragic victim. While a captive on Stroggos, vile experiments transformed his flesh into something both far more and far less than human.

Bones (Human Skeleton): This fearsome foe showcases the powers of the Vadrigar, for it has no true life of its own. But it begs the question: Where do the gibs and blood come from??

Cadavre (Undead Human): Cadavre is a brutal murderer who couldn't be executed. The electric chair, gallows, and gas chamber only made him meaner.

Crash (Human): Once, she was Doom's military instructor. Now the Arena Eternal tests Crash's mettle to the extreme-extreme patience, that is. She is the trainer who introduces new warriors to the skills of battle.

Daemia (Human): The bounty hunter, Daemia, long ago stopped caring who or what was in her sights. Enemies are enemies whether they're human, alien, or demons from the pits of hell.

Doom (Human): Long after everyone else on Phobos was dead, he kept fighting, determined to send out a warning to Earth before the demons could claim him.

Gorre (Cybronic Human): Born in the breeder tank of a genetics lab and nurtured in a cybronics workshop, Gorre was created to be the ultimate warrior...at least in his own mind.

Grunt ( Human): A mentally shattered veteran of the invasion of Stroggos, Private Nathan Grunt is still fighting a war that ended years ago.

Hossman (Human): Easily mistaken for a big, clumsy oaf, Hossman is a deadly opponent whose agility is a match for his fearsome strength

Hunter (Human): When her village on Tau Ceti was decimated by the Sorg, Hunter vowed to seek out and destroy the reptiloids wherever they might hide.

Keel (Cybronic Human): Lance Corporal Ben Keel died during the Spiker Insurrection-only to be revived as a humanoid battle machine by scientists experimenting with captured alien biotechnology.

Klesk (Alien Chitinid): Half religious zealot, half gifted mystic and all bizarre alien, Klesk cleanses his soul with the purifying fire of combat.

Lucy (Human): A former prison guard, Lucy crossed the line and ended up on the other side of the bars where every hour was a battle for survival.

Major (Human): A veteran of the Stroggos campaign, Major Wayland is haunted by the memories of her fallen troops and the parasites that killed them. It may be that she believes she's still fighting that long-concluded war.

Mynx (Human): Fashion model, master assassin, or adult entertainer: Which is the real Mynx? She's part viper, part black widow, and all woman.

Orbb (Alien Cybronic Construct): Designed by the Vadrigar to monitor
combat in the arena, Orbb evolved beyond his specifications and became
a deadly combatant.

Patriot (Cybronic Human Vampire): A twisted combination of cybronic implants and supernatural powers, Patriot is a throwback to the days of nationalism-before mankind found other enemies among the stars.

Phobos (Human): An experienced veteran, he led the invasion of the demon-haunted tunnels of Phobos. There, he was betrayed by superiors who thought they could learn more from watching him die than by studying his reports.

Ranger (Human): Originally a slipgate explorer, the man called Ranger has faced and escaped certain death a thousand times on a thousand worlds. His experiences have left him more alien than human now.

Razor (Human): During a time of civil unrest on Earth, Razor and his gang of vigilante followers enforced a rigid, brutal code of justice in the Pacific Northwest. Razor never admits defeat and shows no mercy in defense of order.

Sarge (Human): A grizzled combat veteran with plenty of scars to prove it, Sarge is the master of modern warfare. He's clever, determined, and deadly.

Slash (Cybronic Human): A young force-blade punk from the streets of Los Angeles, Slash became a test bed for the hottest cybronic implants, turning her into a barely-contained bundle of energy.

Sorlag (Reptiloid Alien): This mercenary Sorg merchant long ago resolved to do whatever it took to get ahead, no matter how many others had to die in order to line her coffers.

Stripe (Human): Raised on the mean streets of a post-apocalyptic city, Stripe avoided crime and drugs by being tougher than the gangs and pushers.

Tankjr (Cybronic Human/Strogg Crossbreed): The spawn of a human Tank Commander and an Iron Maiden of Stroggos, Tankjr is a sadistic bio-tech nightmare.

Uriel (Gargoyle): For untold eons, Mankind has known and feared Uriel's diabolical kind. The aura of evil and death hanging around this gladiator is enough to send a chill down the spine of any opponent.

Visor (Cybronic Human): Visor is an enigma who says nothing about his past, letting his weapons do all his talking for him.

Wrack (Human): Wrack is a shell-shocked Slipgate War veteran who relives countless battles through a haze of imagined glories, half-remembered facts, and exaggerated personal abilities.

Xaero (Mutated, Cybronic Human): The most dangerous enemy in the arena, Xaero embraces honorable death. He longs for the day when he will meet the opponent who frees him from the shackles of life eternal-if such a warrior exists.
