Z-Team

biography: Sonar was a Harvard graduate who also orchestrated some of the most effective Silicon Valley investment frauds in US History, according to Blonde Blazer. Also, sometimes he transforms into a bat monster.

Prior to becoming a Phoenix, Malevola became his NA sponsor.

On Robert’s first shift as a dispatcher, he requests to be security detail for Willem Vanderstenk, potentially networking with him.

personality: Described as highly intelligent, Sonar is a cunning, arrogant man.

Sonar fails to understand jokes, in the Demo, Robert Robertson introduces himself just for his team to laugh at his name, which Sonar starts repeating "Robert Robertson" to attempt to comprehend what's funny about Robert's full name. Him repeating the name over and over while making slight changes each time could also read as an attempt at using a mnemonic device to make sure he remembers Robert's name for networking purposes, due to his intelligence and general business presenting demeanor.

He shows remarkable talent in white collar crimes. Business oriented, he’s eager to network with Vanderstenk on his ideas for ‘human meat alternatives,’ and says that ‘[he] can never have too many soft skills’ when levelled up.

He also has an elitist side, having cyberbullied others, calling himself a ‘high ranking Vanderstenker,’ and frequently boasting that he’s a Harvard graduate. When faced with his own failures, he makes excuses for ‘not trying that hard.’

appearance: Sonar has a human body, but the head of a bat with sharp fangs and big ears. He has pure white eyes, and wears a navy-blue suit with a red tie and black dress pants.

When transformed, his eyes turn red and grows in height, his body growing more bulky physique. His arms transform into bat wings.

He has fluffy grey fur and pink snout.

powers and abilities: Bat Physiology, Flight

biography: During his career as a criminal, he had a run-in with Mecha Man.

Prior to Robert Robertson being assigned to the Z-Team, he was responsible for driving the dispatcher preceding him to quit in two days by setting his Kia Soul on fire. He also fought with Mecha Man at a bar, seemingly unaware of his true identity, and lost against him. In the same altercation, he either trips and breaks one of his front teeth on a bar surface, or is doused in alcohol, causing his eyebrows to become singed off, depending on Robert's choices.

On Robert’s first shift at the SDN, Flambae sets fire to a nearby park after being mocked by his team for losing against him, forcing Robert to resolve it.

Flambae is a short-tempered, rude, and egotistical man with anger issues.

When mocked by the team for losing against ‘just a guy’ (Mecha Man), Flambae angrily defends himself and goes rogue to set a park on fire. He also takes pride in driving his last dispatcher to quit in two days. As a serial arsonist, he also comments that a juvenile pickpocket should 'pick up arson instead' when dispatched on the mission for it. He wonders aloud if art is flammable, if dispatched to the museum.

He's confrontational, picking a fight with Robert at Crypto Night and attempts to assault him. In the trailer, he mocks Robert and says he should accept that he isn't a hero anymore, needing to support 'actual ones' like him at his desk, before telling him to get off of 'his' workout bench, despite a vacant one being available.

When confronted with his mistakes, Flambae is dismissive of his role in them, lying about starting a fire, and refusing Robert’s orders to ‘clean [his] mess.’

Flambae is notably vain, having designed his own hero suit, implies that he admires himself in the mirror, and admits to wanting to set a tree on fire, saying they aren’t better than him, showing a petty side and implied self-esteem issues. When dispatched together with Prism, he asks her how his hair looks, and that others shouldn’t mess with ‘perfection.’

He has a habit of rambling, saying ‘brace yourselves, bitches’ and quickly amends that he ‘doesn’t see gender.’ When trying to give his ETA on a call, he describes pulling up Google maps before giving up, saying ‘he’ll be there.’

Flambae is a tall, well-built man with broad shoulders and long legs. He has long black hair tied in a ponytail, reaching down to the middle of his shoulder blades, and a strand of hair left free to frame his face. He has a 5 o’clock shadow beard with thicker sideburns and unshaven chest hair. He has orange irises.

He has missing ring and pinky fingers on his right hand as a result of his past altercation with Robert.

Depending on Robert's choices, he can also either have partially singed off eyebrows, or a missing front tooth.

As a hero, his suit is primarily black and has a plunging V-neck that reaches down to his navel, with a fire pattern tracing its collar, splaying across his shoulders and arms. His cuffs and boots are orange, and is seen wearing visor sunglasses with a black frame and fiery gradient for its lens.

powers and abilities: Pyrokinesis, Flame Invulnerability, Pyro-Propulsion

biography: Prior to the events of the game, Invisigal was a career thief that went under the alias "Invisibitch." Her crimes included assault, larceny, and robbery. At some point she would give herself up to the authorities and expressed interest in joining SDN's Phoenix Program. She would eventually be recruited to the Torrance branch on the condition she wasn’t asked questions. Her alias would later be rebranded to Invisigal by Blonde Blazer for PR purposes.

personality: She is very confident and sassy, not afraid to speak her mind and fight back if needed. Described as aloof and abrasive, Invisigal is a tough, independent loner.

As a hero, she’s occasionally pleasantly shocked and relieved over her successes, wondering aloud if she ‘did that right’ and remarking that a successful mission ‘was great.’

She’s implied to care more about her performance than she admits, notably upset when saying that ‘[she] doesn’t care’ after failing a mission, and sincerely commenting that helping people ‘feels nice,’ before deflecting it by saying ‘as long as [she] gets paid for it.’

Invisigal also displays a willful streak, refusing to be dissuaded from being dispatched to Granny’s Donuts, wanting to get unbanned by saving them.

She supports aspiring criminals, giving a young pickpocketer pointers for next time, misunderstanding an order to give him a pep talk.

appearance: Invisigal is a woman with dark purple, short hair and dark brown eyes. She wears a pink cropped jacket with a black, cropped shirt, as well as black capris pants.

powers and abilities: Invisibility, Hand-to-Hand Combat.

biography: Carnival strong man who made a deal with a sorceress. She gave him the strength of ten men. His muscles grew, but his body shrunk, halving his height.

personality: Punch Up is a charming, if dimwitted man. He’s implied to be aware of his unintelligence, proudly remarking that he ‘knew how to use his head’ if he fails a mission. He’s not above laughing at himself, saying he’ll get to the site as fast as his ‘legs can get [him].’ He also asks the other heroes if 'cauliflower ear is an STD.'

He has a bloodthirsty side, lamenting that he hasn’t fought anyone the entire day, and is dismayed when he notes that he can’t punch a kid if dispatched on a call for one. When recalling a familiar street he used to fight in, he reminisces that he 'used to punch bums' there and sadly wonders if the best days are behind him.

He’s implied to be an alcoholic, asking anyone for a ‘pint on the road’ if dispatched, and celebrating a successful mission by offering to cover the first round of drinks.

appearance: He has black hair and a large mustache, fitting the look of a traditional strongman or carnival performer. During work he uses a button-up green shirt, with brown suspenders and pants.

biography: Malevola is a half-demon from Hell.

personality: Described as terrifying by Blonde Blazer, Malevola is conversely a down-to-earth, self-aware half-demon.

She has an independent streak with little respect for procedure, purposefully showing up late to meetings, and is implied to use her portals to leave the room, refusing to get her mugshot taken.

She enjoys gossip and playing into jokes, using common church phrases such as ‘confess your sins, cause I… really want the tea,’ and greeting citizens by calling herself their ‘lord and savior.’

Malevola shows amusement in being feared, saying that ‘fear is the best teacher’ when dispatched to handle a juvenile pickpocket, and gleefully saying that people will ‘piss their pants when they see [her.]’ When commenting on first impressions, she quips that people judge her for her appearance, then judge her even more after getting to know her. Similarly, she’s aware that while she’s not to everyone’s taste, ‘too many’ people fetishise her.

Despite this, she’s implied to be dissatisfied with being perceived unfavourably, expressing her enjoyment of being seen as a ‘benevolent devil,’ re-routing to avoid police and churches, saying ‘[she] doesn’t need that drama today,’ and sarcastically commenting that her favourite part of the job is ‘scaring children’ when ordered to scare one.

In the trailer, she shows a bloodthirsty side, starting a fight between her and Invisigal and attempting to stab her.

appearance: Malevola is a tall half-demon with yellow, pupilless eyes, red skin and long black hair. Her horns are dark grey, protruding from the sides of her head and curling inwards, pointing up in an H-shape.

She wears a low-cut white tank top, yellow diamond shaped earrings, light blue jean shorts, and black heels.

powers and abilities: Demon Physiology, Portal Creation, Wound Transferal, magic sword.

biography: unknown

personality: Golem is a mellow, levelheaded construct.

He tends to speak informally, making a habit of calling other heroes ‘baby,’ and using slang such as ‘kobe’ and ‘that’s the gravy, baby’ when succeeding a mission. He practices being polite, trying to smile more but remarks that he doesn't have enough teeth for it, and resolving to try and not ruin anyone's carpet when dispatched.

He has a proud side, boasting 'let's show these molehills a mountain' and 'someone order a mudslide?' Despite this, Golem admits to being dimwitted, saying he has rocks for brains. He mispronounces ‘humongous’ when angrily asking who called him ‘a humuncuous', though it's also possible he was attempting to express someone had referred to him as 'a homunculus[1]'.

He occasionally makes excuses for his failures, blaming a failed mission on a headache for his subpar performance. Otherwise, he takes his failures in stride, saying ‘better luck next time.’

Blonde Blazer thinks he’s lonely, a claim somewhat evidenced with him being on dating apps, and having dated a cliff side before, citing it didn’t work out. He enjoys rock climbers, saying that they're handsy.

appearance: Golem is a towering construct of brown colour and varying size, changed by the amount of material he absorbs on a given day. He has a built torso and comparatively smaller lower half, having shorter legs and large arms and hands. Several debris are stuck in his body, including a large tire in his right bicep, and several unidentified pieces half-sunken in his back. Large pieces of rock are embedded in his arms and legs.

He has yellow-orange eyes and a prominent underbite.

powers and abilities: Morphological Being, Earth Mimicry, Regenerative Healing

biography: Prism is a pop star. Her exact powers are unknown, with Chase admitting that the powers listed on her dossier are based on guesses.

personality: Described as highly dramatic, Prism is a proud, charismatic diva.

Prism shows talent in makeovers, able to bestow new hero identities to two men quarreling over the name ‘Fight Man.’ Blonde Blazer also describes her as talented when asked why Prism dresses as a pop star, evident in her number of followers.

She has a judgemental side, noted to be a ‘music snob’ and looking down on William Vanderstenk, calling him a ‘loser’ and doesn’t respect his certificate, saying he’s not a genius just for having one.

Prism shows some interest and enthusiasm as a Phoenix, occasionally commenting that a mission looks fun if dispatched. When succeeding, she proudly exclaims her success, telling others 'It's okay, don't be jealous' while asserting she knows they've witnessed it. Upon failing, she becomes aloof and hostile, telling others not 'to fucking try her today.'

appearance: Prism is a petite woman with a chin-length bob where the left half is hot pink and the right turquoise. She has a beauty mark on her right cheek and, while she has brown eyes, she wears a teal visor that partially conceals them. Her outfit consists of a black body suit with a thin gold line down the middle of it and around the base of her neck, with a single gold hoop where the lines meet. She also wears long gloves that go up to her mid-arm. Each glove matches their respective hair color for each side (pink on left, turquoise on right) and are capped off by a large, gold band. Both of her thigh high boots are turquoise.

powers and abilities: Photokinesis, Photoionization, Holographic Manipulation.

biography: An assassin for the mob who went independent.

personality: Described as cold and merciless, Coupé is a mysterious and efficient assassin.

She takes pride in her abilities, cursing herself and asking what ‘all of [her] training was for’ when failing a mission, and seeing a retrieval of a child’s balloon as beneath her. Similarly, she expects her missions to be difficult, expressing confusion when remarking it was ‘easier than [she] thought it’d be,’ and occasionally showing interest that she’ll finally be dealing with ‘criminals with class.’

Coupé is implied to have a background in ballet, naming herself after a French ballet term meaning 'to cut,' and her starting ability following in a similar fashion.

She exhibits some interest in poetic wordplay, calling herself ‘graceful, but deadly,’ and ‘swift as the night, sharp as my knife,’ when dispatched. She displays dry humour, saying she can ‘take a stab at’ a mission, and clarifies she was trying to make a joke.

Coupé expresses great affinity for knives, frequently referring to their care and wellbeing when dispatched, on one occasion thanking Robert for giving them a chance for fresh air. Similarly, she's audibly livid when contacting Blonde Blazer about the issue of her confiscated office knives, saying she registered them as emotional support knives. She also admits to recently taking up sewing, enjoying the various fabrics and stabbing motions accompanying the hobby. When accompanied by a hero, she articulates the differences between ‘a cut, a dice, and a mince,’ asking them to hold out their hand for her to demonstrate.

appearance: Coupé is a tall, dark-skinned woman with short, straight black hair slicked back into a neat bob. She has yellow eyes and mascara running down her cheeks from her eyes, and wears dark lipstick.

As a Phoenix, she wears a black, slim catsuit with a V neck collar, slim, silver pauldrons on her upper biceps, and metallic accents framing her body: with similarly designed wings at her back. She wears a metallic domino mask that reaches to the sides of her head, ending with four pointed spikes.
