DUTY ROSTER






						LAST UPDATED 7.10.01

				*Rookie Erik Charlemagne* Gender: male Age: 17 Hand: right Ethnic Origin: caucasian Height: 1.86m Build: medium Primary Aptitude: Combat Profile: Charlemagne is a second generation Megger, his grandparents having emigrated from Brit-Cit and settled in MC-1 during the Goodman years. Following the destruction of the southern sectors during the Apocalypse War, the family was re-housed in Sector 142's newly constructed M.C. Escher Experimental Housing Unit. During his Academy Suitability Assessment, Charlemagne was deemed unsuitable cadet material due to a disassociative disorder, a mental iregularity caused by pre-natal exposure to the Block Mania toxin. He came to the attention of Justice Department when, at the age of five, he engineered the deaths of two juves using the Block's Tesseract generators to distort the time and place of death. The arresting Judge, Winter, re-submitted him for Academy consideration and, following surgery and psi-counselling, he was enrolled. At the Academy, Charlemagne exhibited an affinity for tactical reasoning, coupled with a cynical outlook and a distinct lack of empathy. Stoic and efficient, he can be counted on to always have a calculated solution to any problem. Charlemagne considers the brain to be the best weapon in a Judge's arsenal and does not suffer fools gladly. *Judge Solomon De'Ath* Gender: male age: 38 Hand: right Ethnic Origin: caucasian Height: 6.2 Weight: 220 Build: athletic Primary Aptitude: Stength Profile: Solomon De'Ath gained his full eagle in 2103, hitting the street just months before the full onslaught of Block Mania and the Apocalypse War. De'Ath was pounding his initial beat as junior block liaison officer for Steve McQueen Con-apts when the chaos first struck. Finding himself alone and fighting against a rampaging horde of crazed citizens, Sol bravely cracked heads all the way to the ground floor and potential freedom, when suddenly the citi-def unit from neighbouring Fred Dibnah Heights fired their experimental sonic cannon at the block's foundations, sending the whole structure careering through the city bottom into the Undercity, landing in the Big Smelly below. Days later, Sol pulled himself from the rubble, unaware of the invasion taking place above. Whether it was due to his massive exposure of the Block Mania virus in the already foul waters, or the small matter of the surrounding half-million rad count, the De'Ath who emerged was a changed man. With his already legendary charisma combined with a new love of mayhem and ultra-violence, Sol recruited a formidable army of freaks, geeks and other undercity denizens and emerged street-side to meet the Sov invaders head on. The events that followed are still subject to extreme speculation. Somehow, De'Ath managed to capture and secure a sector house and surrounding district, for the duration of the conflict. Though later vaccinated and re-conditioned back into service, there are those remain unsure that the job was completed properly. De'Ath's brutality in enforcing the law has led him to be compared, rather unfairly, with his superfiend namesake. Sol himself remains largely unconcerned, pounding the beat with great vigour and glorifying in his reputation as the most Drokked-up law man this side of the Meg. As they say back in Apetown, "Simpin' ain't easy!" *Judge Alex (Crashbag) Garet* Gender: male Age: 25 Hand: right Ethnic origin: caucasian Height: 6.1 Build: lithe Primary Aptitude: Coordination Profile: Garet is a strong, determined individual, who’s life is the law. An average student at the Academy of Law who attained a Grade 2 Pass. However, he made up for his lack of originality with determination and courage, never faltering under pressure or wavering under fire. Saying little and thinking deeply, he appears slow to some, but this acts as a front for the cool and tough shield he has built around himself. Garet is predisposed towards violence; he thrives on it. That's not to say he resorts to it unnecessarily, but when it comes to the crunch, he enjoys the buzz of bloodshed and broken joints ... preferably those of others. A clone from a long disused gene-pool, Garet finds himself constantly striving to make good in an effort to put right what once went wrong with his clone-father, Judge Garymere. *Judge Gareth Grant* Gender: male Age: 25 Hand: right Ethnic origin: caucasian Height: 6.4 Build: average. Primary Aptitudes: Combat and street. Profile: At the age of four a young orphan was found by Circuit Judge Bicaster in the wreck of a crashed transport pod deep the Cursed Earth. The Transport had been ferrying the boy’s to Mega-City Two for a vacation. It was forced to the ground by a severe ion storm. The boy had managed to survive on his own for four months without any outside assistance. When Judge Bicaster first encountered the boy he was busy skinning a large lizard that he had caught for food. As the transport pod was on his list of missing transports Bicaster brought whatever survivors he could locate back to the City. Once back in Mega-City One it was quickly discovered that the child had no family left alive. Judge Bicaster was left with a choice; leave the child to the state or submit him to the Acadamy of Law? Bicaster spoke to one of his former tutors and secured the boy - Gareth Grant - a position in the Academy. Rookie Elvie Garcia Gender: female Age: 16 Hand: right Ethnic origin: hispanic Height: 4.11 Build: voluptuous Primary Aptitudes: Combat and technical Profile: Tough, accurate, knowledgeable and resourceful. Garcia has had to work hard to gain the grudging respect of her colleagues. She has never let her height or looks interfere with her professionalism - indeed, she has intimidated the toughest of street perps and tackled a rogue Klegg mercenary single-handedly. Her solutions to some of the Academy set-piece scenarios were a little unorthodox - and although most Tutors admonished her for stepping out of SOP's (standard operating procedures), she did get praise from a few of the grizzled tutors for her inventiveness. Rookie Garcia can hold a grudge - and has been competing with a fellow Rookie (Sprague) from the age of six. She has been warned that pursuit of vendetta's and grudges will not be tolerated 'on the street'. Her sense of humour has also teetered on the edge of disrespect, and she was reported more than once for her humour. Dazzling white smile (when it occurs - which can be rare). Short, stocky and voluptuous (and a little self-conscious of the fact). Her motto: “Doing good while looking good.” Garcia has one sister - Mabel Garcia - deputy SJS chief. Judge Hal (Grim) Grimalkin Gender: male Age: 17 Hand: right Ethnic origin: caucasian Height: 1.83m Weight: 113kg Build: athletic Primary Aptitude: Combat. Profile: Born 28/01/2104, Mercy Lows Medi-Centre, Boris Karloff Block, Sector 119 South. Born just before the outbreak of the Apocalypse War, Hal Grimalkins’ parents were both killed by invading Sov troops during an assault on a refugee column. He was rescued by a Citi-Def group, and was sent to an orphanage when the war ended. The young Hal was found to be naturally extremely strong, and was inducted into the Academy of Law at age five. Cadet Grimalkin took to the Judge system well, although some of his Tutors found some of his judgements to be rather harsh, and he was considered to have a rather cynical and pessimistic nature. He soon earned the nickname ‘Grim’. Aged ten in 2114, Cadet Grimalkin fought in the zombie war known as Judgement Day. When the Academy was over-run, he was badly injured while fighting in hand-to-hand combat with a large group of undead, and was only saved when Sabbat the Necromagus was eliminated. Grimalkin recovered, but his hair - which until then had been dark brown - turned completely grey. He was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - and spent some months in therapy before being passed as fit - although his brush with death left him rather more cautious than before. He is dependable and reliable, but he finds it difficult to trust people he doesn’t know. His contemporaries regard him as rather stiff and formal, as he isn’t particularly friendly. He is intelligent and quick-witted, but doesn’t have much imagination, and frequently says the first thing to come into his head without considering the consequences. *Judge Hidekazu Hayabusa* Gender: male Age: 19 Hand: left Ethnic Origin: Oriental Height: 6.4 Build: lanky Primary Aptitude: Driving Profile: Judge Hayabusa was recognized and prepared to be a judge for his precocious ability to adapt and overcome challenges by focusing on the task involved and surmounting it. Although his English is not perfect, he quickly learned to make it a functional part of his live and prove that he might be a good transfer candidate to Mega-City One as a part of Hondo City's commitment to cultural and law enforcement cross-fertilisation. Hayabusa is normally taciturn; he observes situations, summing them up and then succinctly offering his input. He is able to focus extremely hard on the task at hand. His primary sense is visual; he enjoys practicing his lip reading skills more than his English listening skills. Hondo City has reminded him that he must pass full fluency exams before he is twenty. He is filled with a deep commitment to the Law and the safety of citizens. With the privileges of the judge also comes grave responsibility. Hayabusa does not make light of the Law and believes that others too must see and respect the Law with the same unflinching degree of scrutiny that he himself observes. Hayabusa is a tall Hondo male with classical facial features are more Romanesque than oriental, thus observers often mistake his origins. However, close associates soon learn that he exhibits certain typical eastern behaviour traits, such as his preference for silence. Hayabusa is most comfortable patrolling the megways. *Judge Winslow (Robocop) Ho* Gender: male Age: 27 Hand: left Ethnic Origin: oriental Height: 1.84m Build: wiry Primary Aptitude: Driving Psi-Rated 00 Profile: Born into a small community in the Cursed Earth, which was later destroyed by rogue Judge Izzard. During a follow-up investigation of the incident, Circuit Judge Ellis found Ho (then 3 years old) - the only survivor - in the wreckage of a wagon-train. Ellis placed the boy into care with a Sector 42 orphanage. It's matron - Mrs. Overlarge - returned the favour and submitted Ho to the Academy of Law on his fifth birthday. In the years since his training, the only remarkable thing about Judge Ho is his terminal lack of personality. *Judge (Angel) Jonson* Gender: male Age: 21 Hand: right Ethnic Origin: caucasian Height: 5.10 Build: medium Primary Aptitude: Combat and street. Profile: Found living in a skip behind a McCrud’s fast-food restaurant at the age of eight, Jonson was submitted to the Academy due to his extraordinary survival skills. Naturally intelligent, streetwise and tough. A lifetime of hardship has dictated that Jonson is extremely cautious in all affairs and will try to avoid any conflict unless absolutely necessary. A certain lenience has been noted in Jonson’s dealings with the homeless and the poor. Though badly-scarred by a Juve he once tried to help, Jonson’s attitude towards the lower-classes of MC-1 society remains unwavering. *Judge Sarah (Calamity) Kane* Gender: female Age: 21 Hand: right Ethnic Origin: caucasian Height: 5.10 Build: slim Primary Aptitude: Technical Profile: Judge William Kane discovered the newborn girl near the body of her mother who had apparently died shortly after having given birth. Unable to locate any relations for the child, Judge Kane gave her his name when he submitted her to the Academy, and he continues to keep an unofficial eye on her progress. Sarah was a typical Cadet and averaged good pass rates. Her Judge-Tutors noted a certain aptitude for technical skills, but onmaking full eagle, she chose to be a Street Judge. *Judge Eugine (Gene) Tailz* Gender: male Age: 24 Hand: left Ethnic origin: caucasian Height: 6.4 Weight: 170lbs Build: medium Primary Aptitude: Combat. Profile: At the age of three, Tailz’s parents were killed by jimps faking a 59c on their apartment. The jimps executed his parents when they didn't co-operate by handing over their jewellery. Tailz hid in the dirty clothes basket until the judges arrived and discovered him. Now an orphan, Tailz was given over to the senior judge on scene - Blackstaff - who submitted Eugine into the Academy of Law. At the academy. A quiet but conteplative student emerged, always the first to think of the correct solution but the last to forward it. Originally thought to have difficulties with authority, intense psycho-rehabilitation helped Tailz to understand the burden of responsibility that he would be undertaking in later years as a street judge. After excelling in tactics and sniper duties, and after his own street trial - undertaken by Judge Blackstaff - Eugine Tailz was granted his full eagle. Tailz is of large physical build. He has striking, piecing blue eyes. Evan though he is heavily tanned due to hours spent on top of buildings waiting for the shot whilst on sniper duty. He flashes a wicked smile that would melt any female’s heart if he so desired it. *Judge Joshua Temple* Gender: male Age: 20 Hand: right Ethnic origin: afro-white Height: 5.11 Weight: 201lbs Build: athletic Primary Aptitude: Coordination Profile: Temple is an easy going Judge, with a ready smile. He was taken into the Academy when found leading a child gang on City Bottom and given a chance to do some good before he turned to a life of crime. He managed to be unfortunate enough to draw Dredd on his Hotdog Run. Labelled 'slack' in his application of the Law, Temple was granted a Grade 3 Pass - barely a judge. Unsuitable for street work, Dredd suggested Public Relations, where Temple’s winning smile and good looks could be put to use. It was while making a visit to a City Bottom school - where a group of Troggies had kidnapped a class of children - that Temple managed to redeem himself. Giving chase, he followed the Troggies in to the Undercity and managed to rescue all the children in a gun battle that ranged across several miles as the kidnappers sought to escape. It was while undertaking this mission that Temple he developed an interest in the history of the world prior to the building of the mega-cities, even acquiring a few artefacts from this time. His favourites are the sci-fi comedies from the ancient Star Trek series. After this he put in a transfer back to the streets and since there was a despaerate shortage it was accepted. Being somewhat easy going, Temple is willing to let lesser crimes to go with minimal punishment if it means getting to a more serious perpetration in less time. *Judge Jacob Tithe* Gender: male Age: 21 Hand: right Ethnic origin: caucasian Height: 6.3 Weight: 250lbs Build: muscular Primary Aptitude: Driving. Psi-Rank: Grade 3 Telekine Profile: Jacob was the son of a priest Elija who wandered the Cursed Earth wastes spreading the 'Word of Grud', a practice that ultimately resulted in disaster. One night, while Jacob and his father slept their camp was raided. Both were kicked and beaten and left for dead while their assailants made off with their belongings. Elija died there on the plain, but Jacob survived and after weeks in a Mega-City orphanage, was discovered by a routine recruitment sweep by Justice Department. It was discovered that - as well as his general ruggedness and hardy physique - Jacob had the Psi ability to resist injury and heal wounds. He was enrolled into Psi-School. Jacob's years at Psi-School and the Academy of Law were of little incident; he survived everything thrown at him, but whether the chances never came his way or he never took them, he failed to excel in anything but survival and strength of arms. Jacob still feels that he has yet to meet an incident to really challenge him as much as the death of his father. This past trauma remains the focus of his life, despite repeated Psycho-counselling. Jacob tries to hide his emotions, burying his feelings deep inside, trusting nobody, marking him as a loner. If not for his impressive Psi-talents, Jacob would have been expelled from service long since. *Judge Thomas William (Tomahawk) Two Feathers* Gender: male Age: 23 Hand: left Ethnic origin: amerind Height: 6.0 Weight: 178lbs Build: slender Primary Aptitudes: Combat and driving. Profile: Thomas William Two Feathers was born in 2098, just beyond the dome of Mega City one, His parents ran a small trading/general store in a mutie town that doubled as a waystation for Cursed Earth travellers. This life came to an abrupt end when Judge Caligula came to power. The Klegg Judge Grampus and his aerial units firebombed the township when Mega-City refugees sought refuge there. Two Feathers was orphaned that day, he was two years old. For three months he and other refugees were incarcerated in the work camps that Cal had introduced in his insane scheme to imprison the entire population behind a massive city wall. Two Feathers was lucky but he did not escape the reign of terror unscathed, left traumatized and emotionally scarred. He eventually found a home in a small orphanage. Hunger and loneliness his only companions. The staff were not purposely negligent, just overworked and understaffed. Thomas had learned at an early age that crying didn't help, so he had regressed, and simply stopped making any noise, stopped socialising. Justice Department spotted his mutation when medical teams began trawling the cities orphanages in an attempt to catalogue missing juves. Thomas had the ability to resist radiation, pathogens and disease to a limited degree. Thomas was made a ward of the City. Justice Department became his family. By the age of five, the only thing Thomas was interested in was becoming a judge. In 2104, Two Feathers was admitted into the Academy. Life there was hard. Two Feathers was not an easy person to get along with. Most of his classmates were of Anglo-American stock, some had an ingrained bigotry towards his Indian ancestry. Thomas didn’t care; he had been told that friendships should be avoided at all costs - a good judge should have no weakness. Dredd's Comportment was his only companion. Cadet Two Feathers sought to do everything alone, and this was nearly his undoing. His pride would not allow him to ask for aid. He graduated .. barely. The only thing that he excelled at was driving. Thomas loved the lawmaster with a passion, the power he controlled at his fingertips was intoxicating, the feeling of freedom when he opened the throttle was like being touched by Grud. Because of his genetic makeup, Thomas was inducted into specialist Outland training; he felt the call of the land where he had been born; the Cursed Earth was his home. On a mission into the ‘Earth, a fateful confrontation with a band of marauders resulted in Judge Two Feathers, Devlin and Somerset being the only members of a seven-strong force to survive. Devlin and Somerset both suffered from serious radiation poisoning, Two Feathers with two 9mm rounds in his chest. Thomas’s innate survival skills kept them alive. It was here that he picked up the somewhat dubious nickname of "Tomahawk". Thomas had expected further work in the Outlands Division, so it came as a surprise for him when he was posted to sector house sixty-nine. After a time with Vice, he settled in as a patrol judge. Two years on and he's still there. *Judge Zelial Xelai* Gender: male Age: 18 Hand: right Ethnic Origin: hispanic Height: 5.10 Build: medium Primary Aptitudes: Endurance, Combat and Driving Profile: Zelial Xelai and his brother Carlos were both made property of the Academy of Law at an early age. Carlos was wounded during training and was forced to consider a career in the Armouries, weapons-lore a skill for which he was well-suited. Zelial went on to make the grade of rookie, proving himself capable street judge material. He was granted full eagle by the late Judge Chung during a particularly arduous Hotdog Run. Xelai is committed to a fair but throrough enforcement of the Law, perhaps too thorough, as he will push his concerns home with a degree of motivation comparable to outright obsession. *Judge Herman Zhugova* Gender: male Age: 22 Hand: right Ethnic Origin: hispanic Height: 6.2 Build: medium Distinguishing Features: Horizontal scar across neck, souvenir from an encounter with a barb-wire garotte. Primary Aptitude: Combat. Profile: Judge Zhugova is among of the last of the infamous Judgeborn, a living relic of one of Justice Department's greatest scandals. Twenty-eight years ago, a cabal of rogue Judges in Gen Con hit upon an entirely new crime. Mega-City One has many "Simps", some of whom are citizens who worship the Judges. Using Justice Department's own faculties, the rogues injected these citizens with Judge genetic material so that the Simps could know the joy of giving birth to a Judge. This malpractice continued for years until one of them - Judge Tsang - delved even further into corruption. There are many psychotic judge-haters in the city; Tsang sold them judge-babies. The citizens could now enjoy torturing judges to death. During the investigation of these dead infants - found in dumpsters - genetic screening revealed their true origins and the SJS was called in. In the end the cabal were sent to Titan, and the surviving Judgeborn inducted into the Academy of Law. In hindsight this was not a good idea. For whatever reason - psychic corruption, over-high expectations - the majority didn't make it through, and those that did graduate often turned to crime. The majority of the surviving Judgeborn are now inmates of Aspen or Titan. As a preventive measure, the rest were removed from the streets and transferred to desk jobs, under close supervision. Were it not for Justice Department's constant manpower shortage, the Judgeborn would have been executed. Judge Zhugova - cloned from the Lobo rootstock - was spared the whip. He is one of three Judgeborn still active. All eyes are on him. Zhugova is a pessimist. His past is one of being told that he is a sub-standard copy of the real thing. He doesn't just see the glass as half-empty; he's sure the water contains impurities. His outlook is offset by a firm devotion to the Law.
