I doubt that Sparks stoles Aura IDs.
Aura is a USA citizen working at BioTech.
But Sparks “field tests” the REVIVR which come from Pirin Medical, probably a Bulgarian firm.
The firm itself could be at or near the Pirin mountains, since the mountain chain contain many floral species which many are endemic. A really good place to find new medical compounds.

this reminds me of one of those illuminati memes:
aura. sparks. aura’s name has 4 letters, sparks’ name has 6 letters, 6+4=12, diety bomb has 16 mercs right now, 12-16=4, kira, arty and aura has 4 letters in their names, illuminati has 3 edges, art, kira and aura is illuminati confirmed
Bushwhacker has shotgun shells on his shoulder bandoleer.
OH! Actually Sparks stealing Aura’s identity makes a bit of sense. The REVIVR and Heal Station seem to use similar technology (both relying on nano-bots). Than again so does Phoenix’s healing pulse (wonder where he got his hands on that kind of tech, also why he thought it would be a good idea for plastic surgery).
I love that Phantom has a pony tail, dude’s probably a metal head too. He’s utterly ridiculous.
No! Obviously he listens to '80s pop. Consider one of his lines. “Going karma, karma, chameleon.”

Only if you consider Boy George and Culture Club metal.
Karma Chameleon is the most hardcore metal ever, what are you talking about?
Speaking of Phantom; The way he delivers his taunts is just grand!
Found something interesting.

That’s the text on Stoker’s molotovs.
As for “model 451”… I guess this explains it.
It’s a book about a society where books are outlawed and “firemen” burn all books that are found. 451 degrees Fahrenheit is apparently also the autoignition temperature of paper…
What a cheeky little reference.
I thought that Fragger counting down on his hand was the coolest damn thing ever for some reason. Still do. It adds a bit of character, highlights exactly how badass he is.
“Oh yeah Im just gonna hold this live explosive in my hand, afterword im going to kick down that door and anally ream god himself.”
Fragger, upon revival mentions “I think I saw my mamma. … That doesn’t make any sense…WHATEVER, back to killin!”
Phoenix I think, has a line that goes something like “Are you ready to see your parents?” Or something like that. This is why we need lore damn it!
Turtle made that leg for Phoenix. Any form of character interaction is much appreciated.
The side of the Croztni says “Fletcher Arms”. It says the Fletcher is a swaggering sales person of his services, cant help but wonder if he’s only here to prove just how reliable his products are.
I maintain the fact that Vassili plays D&D. I dont have ANY sort of evidence to back this claim up, but I know it in my heart of hearts. A DM knows all, after all.

We already know he probably listens to '80’s pop, he is ex-military (oddly, many soldiers are RPG and comic book nerds), and you can’t tell me he doesn’t seem the type to roll a min-max rogue.
My step-father was a marine, and he would get just as, if not more excited for Saturday morning Justice League than I would. I had the coolest step-dad ever.
And yeah, either that or a ninja. Im rolling up a ninja soon to try with master thrower, should produce something stupid like five sneak attacks on two enemies in one round. That seems like the kind of @sshole thing Phantom would do just to make the DM cry.
Jackal operates out of an airship. OR THEY WOULD IF THEY COULD EVER WIN DOME! (Why else would they need one other than as their sweet new base?)
[quote=“Shinywindow;90098”]I hope you don’t mind that I also share other stuff like voices!
Arty’s obscure shirt is actually from a band he likes (or involved in)
Arty and Sawbonez implied to be best buds (or more) because most promotional material and merc rotations feature them together, have similar taunts, and their bios hint at them being involved with each other’s history
Aimee and Vassili look tired because snipers need to keep an eye out all the time
Also Vassili and Aimee have dayjobs (Vassili works at a grocery store, Aimee a chef).
Vassili and Kira talk about memes a lot (rick rolling and doge)
Turtle implied to be from a religious background (probably Islamic) because he wears prayer beads and he says he gets randomly selected at airports (also hints at a future airport map)
AND FINALLY THE BEST PART

this is really interesting 
so what band is arty’s shirt from? also what are the symbols/designs on arty’s shirt, i can’t figure out what they are supposed to be. also it would be hilarious if sparks stole auras identity XD
@Enigmaplatypus Arty’s shirt design is in the concept art! I think it’s an obscure eye or something

Not really a pony-tail it’s more like a mullet, which turns into pony-pigtails.
If someone is close enough, you can look through Phantom’s mask and see he’s got a 5 o’clock shadow going on. (Image1 and [url=“http://i.imgur.com/9mNnBJ4.jpg”]Image2 also will someone do that for Stoker?)
Also the way his Refractive Armor is designed and the way he keeps his knife on the character model makes it look a lot like a samurai armor.
A lot of Vasilli’s missing lines has him sound more like the “I’m a great sniper, no really! Manchild” player analogue;
Mentioning going home and posting on a blog about how he killed someone else.
vas mentions how he works, eats and sleeps best alone, followed by sobbing.
Mentions how he’s a Lone gunman…the lonely gunman…
Vas mentions missess thanks to lag, how he’s a living aimbot.
Vas has a lot of unused Vasilli puns unused old taunts, similar to Proxy’s prox puns.
Vas compares headshots to Rick Rolling, but with a sniper rifle.
By the sound of many Vasilli lines he was meant to be the placeholder for many Characters, and even at one point was the one who could cloak before Phantom.
That said, Phantom at one point had the FEL-IX, and at one point just a silenced pistol and Katana as a primary and a Katana as a melee weapon.
Theres a lot of unused Caltrop and Spider grenade lines.
OLD Beta/Alpha update hotfixes suggested that Proxy built Sparks her Reviver.
A lot of Phantom revival lines are hilarious!
Finally, Phantom has TONS of missing melee kill quotes, for instance the trick or treat one from the trailer.
@Shinywindow
Arty’s “real” name is Ta. Subetai, Subetai was the primary military strategist of Genghis Khan and Ögedei Khan.
His shirt looks like an Eye, a Triangle and prongs coming out of it.
Some art says it’s a band shirt but it can be seen as styalization of what he does; the eye is him marking, the triangle the plane/bomb coming down and the prongs are the bombs breaking into the bomblettes.
@Redcap Oh darn! Do you know any other updated character names? I always assumed Arty’s name was CJ Weng based off his real name being shown in the Alpha alongside other mercs.
Kira looks asian as her face has mongolian features.
So it is very likely that she is asian
