==Background & Lore==
Out of all the Marines invited on the mission to the Wayback, Pike is by far the most decorated and experienced. A Marine since the age of 18, he has experienced multiple [[Reunification]] campaigns and given sublime performances in all of them. Instead of accepting promotions or even outright retiring, Pike wished to settle out the rest of his days in the most hostile operation yet.

== Background & Lore ==
Most records of Darby were destroyed in the dis-straightening incident. What can be said is that unlike most volunteers for the Wayback Mission, Darby has no injuries, age, or personal investments warranting her presence. She very well may be a true believer in ending the [[Era of Estrangement]] and, being a rare Full Ace graduate of the [[Pathfinder School]], she has all the tools to assist us in accomplishing just that.

Or, perhaps, she has reasons of her own for joining the mission.

The Terran Congressional Republic Marine Corps, otherwise referred to as the TCR Marines, is a service branch of the [[Terran Congressional Republic]]'s armed forces. It is described as the most feared fighting force in all of the Core Worlds. The Marines were involved in military operations on several planets in various systems as part of the TCR's Reunification campaigns. It is broadly assumed that the Marines function as the primary land-based force of the TCR Navy carried onboard warships, such as the [[TCRN Impetus]], to fight on terrestrial bodies such as planets in the Wayback System.

Currently, Marine troops currently embarked on the TCRN Impetus are purely made up of volunteers who requested to be on the ship's mission to the Wayback System, with the full knowledge that they might not return back to the Core Worlds.

Characters

2025-09-27T17:34:54Z

76561198017446735: /* Squad Leaders */

'''Characters''' are the engine that drives the strategic and tactical gameplay of MENACE. They lead squads of infantry or pilot vehicles during missions, representing and coordinating the elements you deploy, and can grow to have either positive or negative relationships with each other, influencing their combat performance. They are all unique, pre-written personalities each with their own background, preferences, and goals. You begin with a selection of characters from the [[Terran Congressional Republic]] [[Marines]], but you can and will be expected to recruit more from the various factions of the [[Wayback System]] itself. They can die permanently in battle, and if you lose too many, your campaign will end in failure.

Characters can be divided into two types: Squad Leaders and Pilots. Squad Leaders are the command element of infantry units, operating a unique weapon (if chosen) while the other elements, called [[Squaddies]], are generic grunts who can be renamed at the player's behest but have no unique dialogue or personalities. Each squaddie represents a percentage of the infantry unit's HP, and a squaddie dies when the unit's HP is reduced by that percentage, weakening its [[morale]] as well as its number of attacks per turn. If a unit's HP is completely depleted and all its squaddies have been eliminated, the remaining Squad Leader is incapacitated, or "bleeding out," and must be "stabilized" by another Squad Leader before he or she is lost permanently. A stabilized squad leader cannot be used for the rest of the battle but will not die.[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/512947503265480934]

Pilots command vehicles such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, and bipedal combat walkers (mechs). They are incapacitated and must be rescued when their vehicle has suffered critical damage and has been destroyed.

Both Squad Leaders and Pilots have skills in a Perk Tree that can be unlocked as they gain experience and are promoted through surviving tactical battles. While some skills are shared among different characters' perk trees, each character has a special unique perk entirely unique to him or her. Characters also have their own statistics (AP, Discipline, etc). [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/512947503265480934]

==Properties of Characters==

===Statistics===
Each squad leader/pilot comes with a variety of different skills and characteristics. There are 10 different statistics in total: [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/512947503265480934]

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;"
|+ Character Stats
|-
! Name !! Description
|-
| style="width: 20%" | '''Action Points'''
| Each character has a finite amount of Action Points, or AP, per turn. Any action, like moving a tile or using a skill, costs a certain amount of AP.
|-
| [[File:Hitpoints per Element inverted Icon.png|20px]] '''Hitpoints per Element'''
| The amount of damage a unit can take until one of its elements is removed as a casualty. A squad with 10HP and five elements can take a total of 50 damage until it is completely out of action.
|-
| [[File:Armor Value inverted Icon.png|20px]] '''Armor Value'''
| Depends on the armor the squad has equipped. The higher the value, the more penetration an attack needs to deal damage. Armors also have durability that is reduced every time the armor successfully stops a bullet.
|-
| [[File:Discipline inverted Icon.png|20px]] '''Discipline'''
| Reduces incoming suppression and increases suppression recovery. Moral tests are also done against the discipline of a unit. These have to be succeeded when losing elements, friendly units getting killed, or allies fleeing from the battle. The higher the discipline, the less likely a squad is to become wavering or retreat from the battlefield.
|-
| [[File:Accuracy inverted Icon.png|20px]] '''Accuracy'''
| This determines the chances to hit for all attacks. Accuracy can be reduced by being suppressed by enemy fire and other effects. It can also be improved by deploying.
|-
| [[File:Detection inverted Icon.png|20px]] '''Detection'''
| How well the squad can detect hidden/concealed enemy units. This value is subtracted from the enemy’s concealment value.
|-
| [[File:View Range inverted Icon.png|20px]] '''View Range'''
| The distance in tiles the squad can see and reveal enemy units that have no concealment. Certain large objects can completely block lines of sight and allow for unrevealed approaches.
|-
| [[File:Concealment inverted Icon.png|20px]] '''Concealment'''
| How well the squad can stay hidden while in the field of view of enemy units. This is also increased by the environment like forests, buildings, or tall grass. A unit with some concealment that is deployed behind cover can ambush enemies very effectively.
|-
| '''Unique Starting Perk'''
| Every squad leader starts with one unique perk already unlocked. These are very different between SLs and are designed in a way to make them feel unique and emphasize each individual's character.
|-
| '''Perk Tree'''
| Each squad leader has their own perk tree that can be unlocked through “promotions.” Not all perks are unique to this character, but the selection and order of unlocks will be different for each.
|}

===Promotion and Demotion===
:''↪ Main article: [[Promotion and Demotion]]''

Squad leaders and pilots can be promoted with [[Promotion and Demotion#Promotion Points|promotion points]] that are earned, for example, through completing missions. Promoting a character does not happen automatically. It must be done by the player.

The cost of promoting the same character increases with each promotion.

Characters can hold one of eight [[Promotion and Demotion#Ranks|ranks]], ranging from (1) Lance Corporal to (8) Master Gunnery Sergeant.

It is possible to demote a character. Although a small portion of the invested promotion points will be refunded, the affected leader will not be pleased.

76561198017446735:

'''Bold text'''[[Developer Diaries]] provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the development process and philosophy for MENACE, and provide tidbits and previews of the game systems to tide over the fans as we await the release of the full game. Usually posted on Fridays except for holidays and bank holidays in Germany.

[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/524203331331031065?l=english Dev Diary #1: Breaking the Silence]: Imitating the community-beloved dev diaries from Battle Brothers, the first Dev Diary describes MENACE as a game, gives a rough release date for Early Access in Fall 2025 (subsequently changed), and describes their (Overhype Studios') intent in creating a new game in a different genre.

[https://steamcommunity.com/games/2432860/announcements/detail/515196772511907867 Dev Diary #2 - Strategic Part Overview]: The second dev diary and first real one, this describes the [[starmap]] in which the player will select destinations for missions, etc., the [[OCI]] system to upgrade the [[TCRN Impetus]] (the player's ship and base of operations), and the armory, wherein the player can examine troops, change loadouts, promote squad leaders or pilots, etc.

[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/515196931452961301?l=english Dev Diary #3 - Tactical Combat Overview]: Describes the tactical missions: How maps are designed, how Action Points and Turn Order works, differences between [[vehicles]] and infantry, and cover/LOS mechanics.

[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/535464414104519507 Dev Diary #4 - Weapon Types and Stats]: Describes the difference between squad and leader [[weapons]], the ammo system, and details the specific statistics such as range, armor penetration, HP damage, etc. each [[Weapons|weapon]] will have.

[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/512947503265480934 Dev Diary #5 - Squad Leaders and Stats]: Describes the rationale behind having pre-written [[Characters]], which are divided between Squad Leaders and Pilots, as well as their statistics such as action points, HP per element, move range, etc.

[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/535466136352850184 Dev Diary #6 - Supplies and Equipment]: Describes the supply system and the limits on how much men and materiel a player can bring on a mission, as well as how the [[armor]] system works in battle and [[accessories]] players can attach to their squads for extra benefits.
