Yeah I based him off Phantom Kid though. Not sure where the resemblance to Danny Phantom is
Ooh if Arryn finds those drawings of her shit will hit the fan.
Robin is a Lezzad. Well. Kind of.
I like Nellie. I think I have a thing for chill snipers.
Arryn received the time and place of Divion Six's meeting place while she was still on the train into Arkhan. The train would arrive in a little under an hour, and she had an extra 5 hours to scope out the place and run security checks to make sure the venue was secure. Their team leader seemed to think somewhere public would reduce the risk of them going unheard, especially after hours. Well, she would verify that soon enough.
She slipped her smartphone back into the pocket of her hoodie, picking up her Vita 2 and hitting the "Start" button to resume her game. She was in the middle of perfecting Hyperdimension Neptunia 5, and an hour was plenty of time to finish a boss fight or two. She tapped her foot to the rhythm of the music in the background, her headphones isolating her from the world around her. She was tempted to use the time she was traveling to tinker with her new gadget designs, but people were easily unsettled if one started soldering circuit boards and filling the train with fumes.
Besides, she didn't want to advertise her identity.
"That was easy." Arryn muttered under her breath as she fooled around inside the mall's security system, easily finding the feed from the CCTV cameras in Starbucks. Her purpose was simply to wipe the existence of the meeting having ever took place, however, so she uploaded a virus that would delete the last few hours of recorded footage. As long as nothing was missing the next day, they would just dismiss it as a technical screw up.
She was sitting the parking lot at the back of the mall, with thirty minutes left to spare before the meeting time. She was hidden from view by a minivan, parked right next to one of the exits, where she had a good connection to the mall's internal network. She was seated on a steel trunk, where her Wasp and M4 were neatly packed away and secured. She was itching to test the new stun round she had designed during her waiting time, but it would have to wait.
She strode into the Starbucks, ordered a Dark Mocha and took a seat. It was easy to recognize who was Butei, but with civilians still around and their presence a supposed secret, Arryn figured going right up and greeting them might be broadcasting their presence. So she waited until everyone had left and the meeting began in earnest, masking her surprise when the female barista turned out to be their male leader. When his dossier flashed up on the holographic screen, she understood why as his information was displayed for everyone. Master of disguise, eh. She might have something that might help his -
Arryn shook herself back to focus on the present, reading and detailing important information about her comrades. Then the layout of the warehouse appeared. With the knowledge that it would be their base of operations after they cleared out its current occupants, Arryn was already planning upgrades and securing the area with electronic locks and the like at key locations. The more immediate task, however, was to attack it and eliminate the gang residing inside. Well, with the Wasp's advanced sensors, she would have no problem taking out the thugs if they came in the open, or even simply using its armament to punch a hole through the wall of the warehouse. Though she figured damaging their prospective home ground like that might be a little detrimental to their end.
Then came the time for introductions. Arryn giggled when she heard Sloan's comment about tipping the team leader, and listening intently to his introduction. Apparently, he was unhappy with how his profile described his Bloodline. Ah well, if he promised he wouldn't be using it on his own teammates, it was good enough. Arryn stood up next.
"Arryn Zech, Logi. You've probably heard about my blowing up testers with their own bombs thing. I'm your tech expert, I guess you could say. I've been assigned here in a support role, and also as the explosives expert and drone support girl. I guess I'm also in charge of requisitions and supplies from Cerberus by default, all things considering." She introduced herself politely, standing up and bowing to the rest of the team. "It's a pleasure to meet everyone!"
Robin chuckled when he heard Sloan's comment, and saw him taking out the tip he had placed inside earlier. "I'm not complaining. Though if you could leave that tip in there it'd be really nice. I gave the girl who's actually supposed to be working tonight a laxative and she's probably having a bad case of the shits right now... so." He grinned mischievously.
"I suppose I should introduce myself more clearly as well. You already know my name and specialization, so I'll just elaborate on the career thief part. Yes, I'm light-fingered and I like pilfering shiny things when Cerberus is looking the other way, but rest assured your possessions are safe. Mostly. I might steal your snacks if you leave them lying around." He opened with a joke, leaning back in his chair. "As for the whole thing about my ancestor being Sherlock Holmes... Rest assured any observations I make will be kept to myself."
Just looking around the table, he could tell a lot about his team just from their expressions, choice of clothing and body language. Aside from the usual shyness and apprehension, he also saw several people were doubtful of the ones they were going to be living and serving with. He figured he might as well do his job as team leader and try to get everyone to warm up to each other.
"Well, my introduction aside, I'm not going to be one of those hard ass team captain types. I certainly don't expect a newly formed team to start being all warm and family-like. So long as we all do our jobs and keep each other from getting killed, that'll take care of itself in due time, I expect. That said, feel free to approach me privately if you need anything."

I'm leaning towards pairing up myself. Now time to look at the characters very closely and see how i can make them super uncomfortable with their partners encourage teamwork.
I like the first plan mostly because chaos and anarchy and then people saying this team can't work together scrubs learn to play
Also, Logi character is up. I'll post for her soon-ish.

Name: Arryn Zech
Code Name: Oracle
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Psychological Profile:
Arryn is friendly, outspoken, and polite. She is very civic-minded and shows a great deal of empathy for those around her. While she is frank and never dresses down what she has to say, she also possesses tact in equal measure. She sees people much in the same way as she sees machines - capable of becoming better versions of themselves with each passing day. It would be wrong, however, to mistake it for naivete and idealism. It is her choice to see the better angels in everyone's nature, but she's also more than willing to put down demons.
She has extreme focus when working on a task, her conversation skills boiling down to one word answers in such situations. With a quick and intelligent mind and a keen eye, no one comes quite close to her when it comes to detailed work. Her love for technology brings this side of her to a fearsome level, making simple everyday machines capable of performing like military-grade equipment. It is also the reason why nobody comes close to matching her expertise with explosives - whether it be disarming them or making them extremely lethal.
The only truly worrying quirk about her is her tendency to bring karmic retribution to ridiculous extremes. She rarely uses her own bombs, but instead uses the enemy's own explosives against them. In every test scenario where she was required to defuse a bomb set by terrorists, the testers found themselves inevitably blowing themselves up in a shower of paint (to simulate the explosion) without exception. While she would technically have failed the exam by its parameters, a concession was given to her with the consideration that the primary aim was to prevent civilian casualties.
Specialty: Logi
If it runs on electricity and circuits, Arryn can make use of it. During her time at the Academy, she gained the reputation of being far more destructive with a laptop and some drones than most Assault Butei manage to be with actual firearms and bombs.
Skill Appraisal:
Electronic Warfare <S>
Computer/Technological Engineering <S>
Firearms Expertise <A>
Pyrotechnics <A>
Surveillance <B>
Bloodline: <Edward Teller> - <Innate Capability>
Arryn is able to instantly pinpoint faults and flaws in any object and circuitry, and how best to repair or improve it. She is able to see an object's internal workings and immediately understand how they all click together and function, as well as the skills required to tinker with them. This ability only works for objects however, and Arryn is unable to simply look at a person and learn the skills they possess, for example. That said, she is still limited by real world limitations of the machine. Being able to pinpoint weaknesses in a supercomputer's code is useless if you don't have hardware capable of actually exploiting it.
Personal History:
Being descended from the inventor of thermonuclear weaponry, Arryn's legacy was always going to be about sowing the seeds of destruction. Her family has been working in the business of weapons research and development for generations. It would not be wrong to say that she was born into a family who built its wealth with blood money.
Privately tutored from a young age, Arryn was taught to tinker with electronics and technology. She was burdened with carrying on the family legacy, but didn't like the idea of inventing weapons so countries could fight wars and level cities more efficiently and effectively. She saw the reports of how civilian casualties mounting from indiscriminate drone strikes and carpet bombing, and was determined not just to build more effective weaponry, but humane weaponry.
This drive was what saw her enrolled into Cerberus as a Logi. Her desire to protect innocent lives combined with her family's Bloodline and natural knack for technology and weaponry made her an ideal choice for a Butei. Given all the equipment she needed and all the knowledge made available, Arryn quickly realized her dreams. She created miniature warheads capable of taking only one car without catching others in the blast, or drones capable of disabling suicide bombers and hostage takers without risking collateral damage.
It was her unique skill set that saw her assigned to Division Six, her precision and technological know-how filling a gap in the team.
Weaponry:
M4 CQB Mod AAA (Arryn Aim-Assist) - A standard M4 CQB with a homemade scope Arryn fashioned. It syncs to a single rectangular lens she wears over her right eye, showing her where her gun barrel is pointing and with advanced sensors helping her adjust her point of aim to account for different factors such as obstacles, civilian targets, and low visibility.
WASP - A quadrocopter drone armed with a Barrett .50 Anti-Material Rifle with the same aim-assistance sensors.
Jack - An armoured UGV that is designed to fit a variety of weapons as she sees fit for the situation. It carries a ballistic shield that serves and cover from small arms fire for other Butei. It is typically armed with a LMG or minigun for crowd control along with a grenade launcher firing different types of rounds - smoke, frag and flashbangs mostly.
Arryn is hopeless at melee combat, and so prefers not to carry melee weapons. Instead, she carries several smoke grenades for a quick escape from hand-to-hand combat.
Other relevant information:
1. Arryn's Bloodline enables her instantly figure out any kind of electronic games. Needless to say, she has near perfect scores on almost all of them.
2. Arryn is very protective of her creations and so much as touching one of her babies without her permission is a major nono.

I know. Speaking of which, I might be rounding out our roster with another Logi character, an explosives and drone expert.
Also, since there are two ways I'm considering letting the attack play out, I'll leave it to general concensus:
We split by class - Assaults storm in, the others just find ways to sneak around and shiv people quietly.
We pair up - An assault with someone else from another class. Like say Robin pairs up with Nadia or Alice - he uses his tricks and Lezzad training to cause confusion while they close in and beat up people.
