Allies
The fight against Maximum Inc. and its BIOT army is one that consumes all of Metropia. When battling such an enemy one needs allies, others who care enough about the world to fight seemingly impossible odds. These are they.
The Phantom
Since the 1500s, the Phantom has been whispered about in hushed tones by those who both revere and fear him. From the depths of Africa he has protected the world from piracey, cruley and injustice for over 500 years.
There are some who still believe him to be only a legend, a Ghost Who Walks. Others, however, have seen him with their own eyes. These people fall into two camps; those whom the Phantom has liberated from injustice, and those who wear the Phantom's Skull Mark, a brand forever marking them as evil.
Kit Walker
The twenty-fourth Phantom, Kit Walker was not raised to inheritthe mantle of The Phantom. He grew up unaware of his heritage until Guran revealed the truth on his eighteenth birthday.
His equipment includes optical camouflage, two wristbands; one that connects to the powerful computer Analytical, and another that contains a smart inductance rope, as well as his trusty smark gun. He has several vehicles, including a nimble airborne hypercycle, a cloaking multi-passenger cruiser, and an upgraded 1999 Mustang named "Hero".
Guran
Kit's mentor, whose family have been aiding the Phantom for generations. Together with Jack Archer, Guran instructs the Phantom in combat, morality, and life itself, and is frequently seen reciting insightful "Old Jungle Sayings" to Kit and others.
After the 23rd Phantom's death, Guran blamed himself, and consumed in his sadness he became the legendary Shadow Panther until he was freed from his mourning forever by Kit Walker Jr.
Dr. Jack Archer
A scientist and professor in biology at Kit's university, after Kit dons the identity of the Phantom, Archer takes only a short time to deduce that they are one and the same.
Together with Guran, Archer takes on the role of Kit's mentor, particularly in scientific and contemporary parts of his education. Later on, (due to his wishes to work for the greater good like Kit), Archer opens a small Detective agency like his family before him.
Daniel Aguilar AKA "Sparks"
A young, orphaned cyber-surfer who is rescued by Kit after Maximum mistakes his as the Phantom, Sparks is unofficially adopted by the Phantom. Given acces to the Phantom's lair, Sparks assists in the technological parts of their endeavours.
When he was three, Sparks’ parents, Esteban and María, were kidnapped by Maximum and cruelly used in experiments that helpe create the mental tissue for the biomechanical "living building" Project Gauntlet, Cyberville's security system.
Sagan Cruz
A Metropian policewoman, or "Enforcer", who is attracted to Kit but initially unaware of his dual identity. Skeptical about the Phantom's motives, she at first belives the Ghost Who Walks to be a criminal.
She eventually figures out Kit's secret and becomes his love interest and partner. She has a genetically engineering police dog named D.V.L. (a reference to the 21st Phantom's wolf, Devil) and in combat dons a well-armoured Enforcer suit.
Heloise Walker
Kit's only living relative, Heloise is the daughter of the 21st Phantom, the sister of the 22nd Phantom, the aunt of the 23rd Phantom, and the great-aunt of Kit Walker, Jr. – The 24th Phantom.
She kept the truth from Kit, hoping he could lead a normal life, but accepts Kit's choice to become the 24th Phantom and assists him in his plans to stop Maximum Inc.
Neutral
In the battle to save the world, there are those that have been swept up in the conflict that may not hold loyalty to those on either side. Still, they are of interest as they still may have parts to play.
Mr. Cairo
A mysterious information broker who only appears in holographic transmissions. He takes no sides, dealing with both the Phantom and Maximum Inc., often playing them against each other.
Heisenberg
A shape-shifting fractal BIOT built by Maxwell Madison Jr. using nanites grown in space by Sean One. Maxwell controlled Heisenberg using a separate remote brain which, being so large, must be carried around in a case. Forced to impersonate the Phantom frame him for various crimes, but after a confrontation with the Phantom, Maxwell loses the remote brain and hence control of Heisenberg.
With this, the fractal biot gains independence and a form of sentience, dons a wide-brimmed hat and trench coat, and seeks answers for his past, remembering nothing of his creation other than his name.
Vaingloria
A popular starlet singer trained by Maximum Inc. to brainwash the public. It is known that Rebecca Madison found her as a street urchin and offered her food, shelter, and fame in exchange for her services to Maximum. Rebecca had her fitted with retractable mirrors which can focus light to such a strength that looking at the mirrors can overload the mind's senses, effectively hypnotizing the public into adoring her and, on Maximum's orders, using them to completely brainwash people.
