Our weekly news blast is back, bringing you all the latest from the world of Broken Lines!

Know your Squad

Last week you saw us reveal the final member of the Broken Lines squad, and though we have one more character of interest to reveal (later on) we wanted to take this week to look over the team!
In total, there are eight members of this squad, from left to right they are: Recruit Fry The youngest in the squad and an educated combat medic, Fry has high ideals and the squad often perceives him as self-righteous - and they're not far off. On top of that, he has trouble aiming when under pressure, so he prefers to stay out of the line of fire. Recruit Wood A charming young recruit with a disarming smile, Wood's lean frame makes him the squad's fastest runner. Despite his good spirits, he will still speak his mind if he disagrees. He can be quite an opportunistic people-pleaser, with a joke ready for any occasion - and not always a good one. Veteran Hailey Formerly a field medic, Hailey was handed a gun at the front one dire day and asked to fight. Since then, she never looked back. A skilled Irishwoman who has lost too many of her comrades in battle, she bullies green recruits like Fry to keep her mind busy. Recruit Avery A hot-headed Scotsman, Avery keeps a sarcastic distance to everything related to the war and is generally impossible to lead a serious conversation with - especially since he often has his foot in his mouth. Avery is a quick decision-maker, but poor at dealing with the consequences. Veteran King A big, intimidating man from a family with a strong tradition of military service, King has a talent for manipulating people - with his meaty fists if necessary. For him, morality is a grey zone meant to be challenged. Veteran Morgan An iron-willed veteran with solid experience in leadership and combat, being a part of the war since its beginning is starting to take its toll on Morgan. His best days are behind him, and that terrifies him, but he's too stubborn to show any weakness. Recruit Sherman Sherman became a radio operator due to his talents and interests in electronics. After fleeing an occupied base, he ended up in the front and was promoted to the ranks - although he strongly disagreed with calling it a promotion'. He tries to avoid unnecessary violence and has a strong sense of justice. Veteran Conner Considered eccentric by most of the squad, Conner guards her past and personal life carefully. She works best alone with a rifle, hunting enemies and animals; after a recent head injury, she tends to confuse the two. Most people cleverly keep their distance, even on her good days.
