What are the Striders Part 3: Characters


Blue: The main protagonist of the Strider series, and the Son of the King and Queen. He was once an elite member of the Royal Guard, but then was betrayed by his own mother, who wishes to incite a war on humanity. He seeks to bring her to justice and stop the war from happening. Calm, cool, and collected defines him. He has a strong sense of justice, and is single-minded towards his goals, possessing an incredible amount of determination. He cares for his friends and family, even the Queen, despite all the wrongs she put onto him. In battle, he's an expert with his Light Sword, which can cut through metal like a 1500 Degree Knife through butter. He's generally an expert at using anything that can cut, including Daggers and flying disks with razor-sharp rings on them. Besides his weapons, he's an expert at hand-to-hand combat, being able to trounce multiple opponents. Currently is the new ruler of the Striders.


Green: Blue's friend, whom helps him on his quest to stop the Queen. He was ready to enlist into the Detective Agency of the Royal Guard, but refused when Blue told him of the Queen's lies. Unlike his more quiet friend Blue, Green is more talkative. He's snarky, sometimes sarcastic, and likes to tell jokes. He's really is a nice person though, and will gladly help anyone in need. His intellect and problem-solving skills is what nearly got him into the Detective Agency. When it comes to combat, he overwhelms is opponents with his movement and skill. Although proficient at many weapons, he usually prefers reach, as he is armed with a Light Staff and a built-in arm cannon that can be tuned to many different kinds of shooting modes, with his most powerful mode being the White Noise Cannon. Currently acts as the ambassador for the Striders.


Grey (Right): A Strider who's in the higher class. He works alongside his best friend, White. He prefers to live life like it is, comfortable with the way he is, and is fairly easygoing and casual. He prefers to take things slow most of the time. He does have a strong sense of right and wrong, and like his friend, is somewhat curious regarding certain events, leading him into contact with runaways Blue and Green. While he's hardly a fighter, he makes up for it with his hacking skills.

White (Left): A Strider who's in the higher class. He works alongside his best friend, Grey. Unlike Grey, he lives life in the fast lane, always striving for more and is always on the move, and is very competitive. He does share his friend's curiosity and sense of right and wrong, and suggested contacting Blue and Green in the first place. He's no fighter, but he does have many connections that can help him get some jobs done.


The Queen: The main antagonist of the Strider Series, and Blue's mother. Originally named "Love", she was crowned ruler of the Striders due to her marvelous efforts in creating their city and foundation alongside her husband, the King. Originally kind, passionate, and willing to give her all for her people, that all changed when her Son, who would later go on to become Blue, was nearly killed after an encounter with humans, turning her vain, manipulative, and thirsty for human blood. Most of the Striders crave human blood now, so she plans on starting a war to crush the humans completely. While she is blinded by her desire to get revenge on the humans, that isn't to say that she isn't cautious and a planner for the future. She has upgraded herself to have powerful abilities, and even has wings that grant her the ability of flight. Her staff fires devastating lasers. She eventually confessed to all Striders of her actions to start a war, and is locked up for life.


The Commander (Left): The commander of the Royal Guard, who's real name is Orange (though people usually call him Orge (spelled oh-erg)). He's lived a very long time, and has been in command of the Royal Guard for almost all his life. During the capture of Blue, his hands we're cut clean off, and as a substitute for his hands, he was given an experimental shapeshifting blue liquid that acts according to his will. This leaves him with a deep-seated hatred of Blue. He obeys the Queen without question, no matter what her motives may be. He's a very confident individual who has worked on various military projects in the past in the event of war. While he claims he does things in the name of the people, he couldn't be anymore excited to fight people. When not using his many contraptions, expect him to be wielding a giant mace and a machine gun, both being heavy-hitting weapons. He was eventually slain by Blue and Green, despite his efforts.


The Knight: Sub-commander of the Royal Guard, and sometimes acts as the Queen's personal bodyguard. He is the brother of Blue, originally named Second. His name was changed to Navy after a subsequent upgrade, and his callsign became Knight. He's known that something was fishy about the queen ever since she was going to spearhead the war on the humans. Navy has a code of honor, and has a strong sense of what is right and wrong. While he is bound by loyalty, if he senses that there is some kind of dishonor in his superiors, he will gladly desert. Being a Knight, he's trained in the art of swords, and does especially well with his double-sided sword. He sadly died saving his brother's life from The Queen.


The King: The very first Strider ever made, and was once the ruler of all Striders. Originally named First, he was and always has been a peaceful Strider. When others call for war, he calls for peace. His people are extremely loyal to him, and will even give their lives for him. Sadly, he was assassinated by his own wife, the Queen, while attending a meeting for a truce between Humans and Striders, with his death nearly inciting a war.


The Berserker: Originally named the "Zeus" unit, the Berserker is a silent goliath of huge power. As the Zeus unit, part of a project to create a hero for the people, it was deemed a failure when it's personality somehow got corrupted, turning it from a bringer of hope to a bringer of atrocity. Despite being reprogrammed, destroyed, and rebuilt repeatedly, the corruption still remained, turning worse and worse. It was sealed away for good and commissioned to be destroyed permanently, until the Commander got a hold of the Project. While it doesn't show much emotion at all, it is known to be very destructive, and  has a hatred of Blue, since he participated in the project and also destroyed him repeatedly. Is skilled in a variety of weapons, mainly it's Sword, Spear, and it's main weapon of choice, its Hammer. Can even fly. Was eventually put down for good, thanks to the combined efforts of Blue and Green.

Aside from the main characters, I have some that have use for the future:

Agate: An archeologist and history-researcher. He has an incredible amount of determination, and is always trying to find the truth about something. His work has gotten him some recognition from other scientists. He's a bit snarky and sarcastic, much to his friends chagrin, but he does know how to lead and establish trust in others. He's also into dark humor, which not many people are fond of. It seems he and his friends are searching for something...

Topaz: Agate's friend. She too is an archeologist and researches history, sharing Agate's curiosity. She's a go-getter who will see her goals achieved. Unlike Agate, however, she knows what she can do and what she cant do, which leads to her often butting heads and bickering with the even higher-achieving Agate. Nevertheless, the two have been friends for a long time, and are almost like brother and sister, with Topaz often being the older sister. She has a habit of cursing aggressively when angered, and she does have quite a temper. It seems she too is searching for something...

Tourmaline: Agate and Topaz's friend. While normally quiet, cool and calm, he does deeply care for his friends, willing to protect them. Like Agate and Topaz, he's an archeologist. He's tough, and thinks things through logically and carefully. He's a really cool guy, despite his towering stature. He'd also prefer to avoid danger rather than run towards it. It seems that he's also searching for something...
