Main Characters

 * Shandala

A young white woman orphaned at infancy and raised by Fijian villagers on the island of Lomalagi. She is an altruistic, nurturing soul who has the ability to heal people and also the ability to utterly destroy their bodies and souls. Despite her story sometimes resembling a big Trauma Conga Line, she never loses her purity of heart.

 * Raimi Matthews

A cynical, sarcastic, and thoroughly jaded young computer programmer working in the fictional Coast City, California. As 1) the American (well, Canadian-American) and 2) the most straight-talking character of the four, Raimi often acts as the Audience Surrogate when more than one main character is involved in a scene. He is also not as skilled in the area of fighting as Oran and Kamimura.

Played in the voiceover version by Kirby Morrow.

 * Oran

A highly devout Muslim terrorist/freedom fighter from Baghdad, who is constantly torn between the more peaceful ideals of his faith and the duty he feels to his country to fight the forces of the West. He is taken prisoner by Western forces early on. Not a reactionary character to recent events interestingly enough, as the character was created before 9/11, and the series was almost over when Gulf War II started.

Played in the voiceover version by Colin Foo.
