Introduction ________________________________________________________________________________ This is my first FAQ so bear with me. For those who like the solo mode in UT 2004 (or have slow internet connections), building your team is essential to winning, especially on the really high difficulty levels. But when you're looking to spend some hard-earned credits on a new player from another team, you don't get to see their stats. Generally, the most expensive competitors are the ones with the highest skills, but the game can have a very different idea of what is "useful" than you. Also, there are quite a few players who are on the back lines of some teams who are paid far less than they're really worth. Wasting a couple of thousand credits on a throwaway can really put you in the hole. I really wished I could find something online that could tell me what kind of player I was paying for, but since there was no such archive on the web I, decided to write this down and help other people along the way. Notes ----- All the information about the contestants found in the tournament (110 in total) is listed here along with their biographies and, in case of non-humans, info about the planets they come from. All the characters are listed according to their race and then divided according to the team they belong to or as free agents available at the start of the game. I've also included the team rosters in case you just want to see who belongs to which team. The team captains that are listed here can actually be hired for your team. After completing the qualification rounds, all "Weak" team captains and players can be hired as free agents by looking in the "Team Management" tab. When you have advanced to the top of all four ladders, even the Godlike captains and teams will be at your disposal! The captains will still play with their own teams, however. For instance: If Malcolm is on your team during a match against Thunder Crash, your "Malcolm" will temporarily take up a different name while playing against himself. They are never available for Bloodrites challenges, and you can only challenge each team for three of their players, no more. Also, there are some people you will meet in the tournament who cannot be hired to play for your team at all, most of them are people you meet in the qualifying rounds. Some independent players from the qualifiers, such as Perdition, will eventually end up being drafted into other teams and can be acquired the same way as everybody else. ________________________________________________________________________________ 4.

Some say she can hear guilty thoughts, others say she can find the threads of dissent woven deep into the DNA. Whatever it may be, if the shadows speak to you in a child's voice one day, run, and never stop running as long as you have breath in your body. Stats: Accuracy: 86 Aggression: 73 Agility:83 Tactics: 76 Favorite Weapon: None Name: Samedi Age: Unknown Race: Homo Sapien Taratis Data: If League regulations allowed for unarmed combat then the competition would be quite brief with Samedi involved, and very, very messy.

While the reason given for locating the processing facilities in such a hostile environment is to retard the growth of bacteria, some suspect that it may be simply to prevent the curious from discovering what really goes into the food supply. Team: Blood Fist (Tough) Captain: Mandible ------------------------ Name: Mandible Age: N/A Race: Artificial Lifeform Data: Mandible's programmer thought it would be interesting to have his creation contemplate the meaning of life. Three days and 76 bodies later the automaton still lacked an answer, but had gained extensive knowledge of human physiology.

Stats: Accuracy: 74 Aggression: 73 Agility: 80 Tactics: 96 Favorite Weapon: None Name: Widowmaker Age: N/A Race: Artificial Lifeform Data: Widowmaker is one of the few battle drones confirmed to be wholly inorganic.

But what if the drone was smarter, stronger, and you were the target? Stats: Accuracy: 83 Aggression: 73 Agility: 88 Tactics: 96 Favorite Weapon: None Name: Rapier Age: N/A Race: Artificial Lifeform Data: It slices, it dices, eviscerates, and decapitates, sees in the dark, and can track you by your DNA. Just like the girl you stood up on prom night. Stats: Accuracy: 87 Aggression: 73 Agility: 75 Tactics: 76 Favorite Weapon: None Name: Corrosion Age: N/A Race: Artificial Lifeform Data: Beneath an exterior of cold metal burns a soul as bright as a dying star, the essence of a being who sought to rule the galaxy at the Emperor's side.

Stats: Accuracy: 79 Aggression: 73 Agility: 75 Tactics: 96 Favorite Weapon: None Name: Renegade Age: N/A Race: Artificial Lifeform Data: No mercy will be granted by the drone as this feature was removed in the last operating system update.

Team: Firestorm (Tough) Captain: Makreth ---------------------- Name: Makreth Age: 24 Race: Gen Mo' Kai Data: A warrior maiden of the Yellow Bone clan, Makreth proudly wears the death mask handed down through generations of her family. Her bared fangs and slit eyes have caused more than one opponent to freeze in fear for their lives. Stats: Accuracy: 75 Aggression: 88 Agility: 93 Tactics: 75 Favorite Weapon: Flak Cannon Name: Damarus Age: 23 Race: Gen Mo' Kai Data: The son of Mobeth tribe leader Gik Ma, Damarus has made quite a name for himself in the arenas. As a volunteer he enjoys many physical pleasures, but those who think his hedonistic lifestyle has made him soft haven't seen him from the wrong end of a biorifle. Stats: Accuracy: 74 Aggression: 73 Agility: 83 Tactics: 89 Favorite Weapon: Bio-Rifle Name: Mokara Age: 20 Race: Gen Mo' Kai Data: Damarus' sister, and second in line to the scepter of Mobeth, Mokara feels that her brother is unworthy of the title and seeks to usurp it by proving herself the better in battle.

Stats: Accuracy: 96 Aggression: 60 Agility: 75 Tactics: 75 Favorite Weapon: Shock Rifle Name: Komek Age: 27 Race: Gen Mo' Kai Data: Like Makreth, Komek prefers to wear the death mask of his family into battle.

Stats: Accuracy: 77 Aggression: 72 Agility: 93 Tactics: 73 Favorite Weapon: Flak Cannon Name: Faraleth Age: 28 Race: Gen Mo' Kai Data: When the human plague known as the Crimson scourge annihilated her tribe, the healer Faraleth went mad with grief, sickened by her own impotence to combat the disease.

Underestimating his abilities in combat may be the last mistake you'll ever make. Stats: Accuracy: 83 Aggression: 73 Agility: 93 Tactics: 85 Favorite Weapon: None Name: Nebri Age: 26 Race: Gen Mo' Kai Data: Her face permanently disfigured by the venom of an Arborean predator, Nebri signed up for the tournaments rather than face further rejection by those who were once her suitors. Little does her compatriot Damarus know that her feelings for him are considerably less than hostile. Stats: Accuracy: 86 Aggression: 73 Agility: 83 Tactics: 76 Favorite Weapon: None Name: Selig Age: 25 Race: Gen Mo' Kai Data: Unlike his flashy young friend Motig, Selig prefers to keep to himself. Between competitions he likes to explore the worlds he visits and document the interesting things he finds, or play a lethal game of cat and mouse with the interesting things that find him.
