Several different archetypes can be found between the Solaris Denizens. Their actions, how they interact between them and with the real stars of the Solaris Games is what sets them apart.

Solaris Games Denizens

Gangsters

Gangster

The dark side elements behind life in every planet. Gangs, Mafia, Yakuza. They have a bit of everything. Fighting between them to control the dark side of the planet.[1]

Known Gangster Elements

Yakuza

Hotshot Pilot

These are the Warriors that believe in nothing but their own abilities and who came to Solaris VII to seek fortune in the Solaris Games. Every year lots of them come to the planet, their skills are unquestioned, but that is not enough in Solaris. If they are not able to control their pride, they will fall... and around Solaris VII pitfalls lurk around every corner. And that without taking into account the dark side of the Games.[2]

Mechbunny

Mechbunny

History is full of famous sportsmen and women that has been followed by crowds of fans and groupies. A Mechbunny (a term used irrespective of gender) just takes this to the next level in their efforts to be seen and attract the attention of their idols. It is very common to see them carrying hasty autographed mementos or the latest arena gifts. They are considered basically harmless and live to bask in the glow of fame[3][4], though occasionally they can go to some dangerous extremes to be/touch the subjects of their adoration.

Sycophant

Sycophant

Like Mechbunnies, Sycophats are part of the Games. They are the true "fans" of the Games, well, two steps more. It is easy to spot them as they usually cover their jackets or other clothes with every trinket related to every Solaris Game topic. They have no life of their own, living only to religiously follow the games and the exploits of their favorite 'Mechwarriors. Most of them will able to quote you anything related to the Games... but do not piss them off.[5]

Wannabe

Wannabe

If you dress like a MechWarrior and you talk like a Mechwarrior, you are a Mechwarrior could be the best description for this group of people. They can look good, but it still easy to detect them for what they are. On their fighting skills, it is possible they really have some talent, but no actual experience other than thousands of hours on stripped-down simulators at the arcade.[6]
