Edward “Edu” Markinson - Hater of hospitals, slow drivers, and references to anything in the ’80s.
Harper Reynolds- A daydreamer who can’t get her head out of the clouds and away from Edu’s magnificent body. Known to her grandmother as a cash register, she whiles away the days working at the grocery store and staving off the avocado war protests.
Brock “Rock” Patton - Wannabe model, obsessed with his looks and constantly combing his hair…A ferocious fighter for a man so obsessed with his looks. Also, as a side note—he can’t act for shit and hates the word ‘loins’.
Wren Crosby- Rich, self-obsessed heiress looking for the man of her dreams…i.e. someone with a lot of money who can take care of her for the rest of her life. Loves to look in the mirror, comb her hair, and obsess over facial products.
Scottie Dog Thacker- Tactical vomit expert, hater of flying planes, and always up for a good time. If you’re with him, have a barf bag in hand.
Quinn Lake- Awesome geologist who is terrible at telling people no. She’s a runner—running from situations so she doesn’t have to grow a spine and deal with confrontation. Awesome at Battleship and Twister.
Team 2:
Marcus “IRIS” Slater- His name stands for I Require Intense Supervision . EOD expert that has taken up a new love…blowing up shit.
Jane Layne- IRIS’s sidekick in real life and in her mystery novels. Also known as Shayla Jacque. Absolutely despises technology, and goes so far as to use a typewriter to avoid it.
Mick “Slider” Jeffries - Not Slider from Top Gun . Sorry, ladies, I know he was gorgeous, but it’s not the same hottie.
Audrey Leigh- Sexy actress who loves a good action movie, tight leather, and her best friend Spencer. Not afraid to get involved in the action, even when she doesn’t know how to fight without her stunt team!
Tate “Thumper” Parsons - No, not named for the adorable furry rabbit. Thumper got his nickname after losing a foot to an IED. Now using a robotic foot, he is probably the fastest person on the team.

Duke Mason- The mechanic. Sexy, dirty, and the man every woman wants. His hands alone could have a story written about them and all the things they can do. Not afraid to have his ass kicked by Rae.
Dash - Awesome with computers and a skilled fighter. Constantly being compared to Rae, the sexier version of him. Still trying to convince Fox he’s just as awesome.
Laura Woods - Hot teacher with a thing for Dash. But waiting in the wings is the sexy roughneck Andrew. He’s just as lethal as a mechanic. But who will she choose?
Black Ops Team: Also known as The Three Js
Jack Cox- Team leader who loves aviator sunglasses as much as a good gunfight. Willing to take one for the team as long as the mission is long and hard…just like his johnson.

Isabelle Zavala- If there ever was a damsel in distress, you would be staring at a picture of Isabelle. Though she has dealt with so much, I have a feeling this hunky brute of a man can see her through.
The Odd Squad:

Max Huxley : Former military. Licensed pilot. Rivals Scottie Dog’s amazing flight skills. Has a bit of a drinking problem and loves his pink Hawaiian shirts and straw hat. Don’t even think of taking his cigar from him.
Christa Corvin- The preacher’s daughter who is looking to break out into the world as something other than the good girl in church. Enter Max with his constant drunken state, filthy cigars, and dirty mouth. What could possibly go wrong?
The Young Squad:
Chase Carter: Tattooed badass with a bullring in his nose. His wacky personality is nearly as irritating as his love of playing Monopoly.
Mercy Monroe- Awesome doctor with a sarcastic sense of humor and fierce will to live life to the fullest. As with the other women of OPS, nothing can keep her down.

Jones - Spotter for Cash during their military days, with a bad attitude since losing the use of his leg. Like you really need one of those. Whereabouts unknown.
