Normal Equipment:
-TC-19 Carbine: Essentially the AGR-16A4 Bullpup with the precision rifle removed, the TC-19 is a compact battle rifle designed for special forces and aircraft and vehicle crewmen. It uses 6.5X28mm caseless munitions in 50 round magazines.
-M-1911A1: Large caliber man stopper. The classic .45ACP pistol is standard issue for the ISAF.
-IBA Flak Jacket: Standard personnal protective equipment for the ISAF. The trauma plates can take several direct hits from large caliber bullets or shrapnel before the plates have to be replaced.
-Laser Designator: It is unknown if any artillery made it out of '57. Carl keeps it just in case.
-XM-32 Wraith ABT: Although still an experimental weapons system, this tanks was slated to replace equivalent weapons in Dystopian service. Then the Noobs attacked Underbase 57. Some Wraiths made it into the tunnels Jack Shade's forces dug, surviving. Until Carl can get to one he's just a poorly trained leg infantryman.

General Abilities
-Expert, Rifle and Pistol: Carl scored high on his weapons qualifications. Although a tanker there is always that possibility that he may have to ground pound.
-Armored Warfare Specialist: Carl is a tanker, through and through. At present he is slitghtly disadvantaged. Until he can get to a tank he is but a poorly trained leg infantryman.
-Chain of Command: Carl has the trust of his men, from the lowliest of Privates the the most seasoned of Colonels. Through the actions of his subordinates Carl made Field Commander, an action he recognizes by rewarding his men for their own actions, regardless of how menial the task is. The men under his command will fight for him because he will fight for them as well.

Weaknesses
-Hindered Depth Perception: During the attack on Underbase 57 Carl lost his right eye. Being right eye dominant hinders him as he has to relearn how to shoot and put rounds on point.
-Poorly Trained Leg Infantryman: Carl is a tanker. With a tank he is Indestructible. He trained to fight from a steel chariot, not on his feet. Until he gets to a track he is at a great disadvantage.

Race: Lycanthrope

Appearance
Normal Equipment
-AGR-16A4 Bullpup: Standard battle rifle of the Independent State Armed Forces. The Bullpup is a combination automatic rifle and precision rifle. It uses the 6.5X28 Caseless in 50 round magazines and, for the precision rifle, 7.62X51 rounds in 20 round magazines. The Bullpup can be fitted with:
-M-203 40mm Grenade Launcher: Standard frag launcher of the ISAF, this weapon is used to deliver 40mm grenades over long distances. Flavors of the monht are HEDP, CS Tear Gas, and White Phosphorous 'Flashbangs.'
-Dual M-9/40 'Cavalry Sabers': A pair of M-9 pistols rechambered for the .40 S&W. Ryker tends to dual wield these to great effect.
-Desert Eagle Mk XIX 'Tyrant's Delight': Ryker's hand cannon, Tyrant's Delight is a large caliber weapon surpassing the standard M-1911A1 in stopping power. Ryker has shown the ability to wield this weapon with one hand, something normal Minigunners are unable to do.
-IBA Flak Jacket: Standard personnal protective equipment for the ISAF. The trauma plates can take several direct hits from large caliber bullets or shrapnel before the plates have to be replaced.
-Oakleys Sunglasses: No proper villanous bad ass should be without an equally bad ass pair of shades.
-The Book of Ryker: Ryker's journal, filled with over twenty years worth of musings. Before the Admin War it contained the groundwork for the Independent State of Dystopia. After being touched by Homac it contained his mad ravings of events to come, including his time as a POW, a bloody coup in a Dystopian client state that he instigated, his return to Iwaku, and the Noob Invasion. He refuses to show anyone the rest of the book as his already knowing has driven him more off kilter than he already is. It has become the Bible for the Church of Armageddon's Engineer.

General Abilities
-Pride of the Infantry: Ryker, through years of training and warfare, has become an Apex Soldier. His global experience has made him a fine tuned killing machine, a leg infantryman with no equal.
-The Charisma of Mr. BadGuy: Ryker also has a way with words, using them to bring people to his side. Soldiers, criminals, and terrorists flocked to him because they believed his words, his promises. Millions fought for him. Even more died. Despite that, those under his command continued to fight because of his words.
What's more is he didn't need to use a virus to make them follow him.
Special Abilities
-Lycanthropy: Whenever Ryker's adrenaline levels peak Ryker turns over into a natural killing machine, nigh unstoppable to all but the appropriately equipped. Even then those who know what they're doing don't want to remember the experience of a fight with Ryker. Ryker typically discards his weapons, flak jacket, and load bearing equipment before he turns.
Weaknesses
-Ryker is a slave to his more primal instincts. As such Ryker is succeptible to more carnal impulses. Being a womanizer doesn't help. Being without his control medication doesn't help either. Silver is also a problem for him.

Origin
Carl came to Iwaku with the original Independent Strategic Arms Foundation when Ryker was invited by Gabriel. He helped train the armored divisions and led them through countless battles. During the Admin War he was a no-name colonel who gained recognition only through being the tanker that shot Homac in the face with one hundred and twenty mikes of gun power, giving Ryker the chance to fall back. During the early years of the nation of Dystopia Carl's 51ST Armored Division was yet again a no-name unit until the Battle of the Jilachi Desert in which the 51ST and the 84TH rescued ISAF Expeditionary Forces from a mechanical foe derived from remnants of the Viper airship. His forces gained recognition and he was hailed a hero, something he humbly declines to accept. Now he is in charge of a broken army, trying to reign in whoever survived and call for reinforcements from abroad.

Origin
An ex-Marine disillusioned with the government system, Ryker took hostile control of a Marine Expeditionary Unit and turned it into a Private Military Corporation, the Independent Strategic Arms Foundation. They became known for war crimes and their brutality. Why Gabriel saw fit to invite such savage militants into Iwaku is beyond anyone's wildest imagination. What can be said is that the ISAF has never been subtle in Iwakuan conflicts, using carpet bombings, chemical weapons, and nuclear ordnance. During the climax of the Admin War Ryker was touched by Homac, exposing him to a wealth of information. He saw his destiny and left Iwaku, a Lieutenant in charge of an Expeditionary Force. Over eighteen years he went from client state to client state beyond Iwaku's realm, drumming up support for the Nation. He returned, as had been predicted by his revelation at the hands of Homac. As predicted an apocalypse occured. As predicted the nation has scattered. It is up to Ryker to bring them back together, so they may stand strong as they did eighteen years ago.
