Character Name: Martin Geary

Squad: Two
Squad Position: Second
Primary Weapon: Dual sica daggers, which are designed to get around the sides of an opponent's shield, and stab or slash them in the back
Combat Style: Marty enjoys fighting, and isn't afraid of injury. In his opinion, the best defense is a strong offence, and taking an opponent out before they have the chance to do damage is his preferred strategy. In fact, that's mostly his only strategy. He fights largely on instinct, and tends to be reactionary rather than a planner. He's more of a scrapper than a chess player.

As a second, Marty is willing to take orders and follow Dustin's lead, but he makes no secret of the fact that he will step in if he feels their Lead is making poor choices. He expects everyone to pull their weight and, while he'll readily defend a teammate, he refuses to babysit.

Marty hates to retreat, but he also has no inclination to play hero. He's willing to take a beating, but he doesn't want to die. Ultimately, his decisions in a fight are utilitarian, sometimes even cold. He has no qualms about prioritizing his team and his friends over others. He's willing to let someone on his team get seriously injured if it means protecting the rest of the team, and that includes himself.

Attribute: Strength

Persona Name: Mahasiah
Persona Appearance: Mahasiah is an imposing figure, tall and broad. It takes the form of Ares, wearing golden Spartan armor. It appears humanoid in shape, with two arms and two legs, but the body beneath is made of flame. It carries a spear and shield, carved with flame motifs. Its attacks are explosively loud, and smell like blood and smoke.

Affinity: Fire
Weakness: Ice
Ailment Susceptibility: Enervation
