From Dust is a continuing, episodic, picaresque campaign with events determined largely by the remarkable Mythic Game Master Emulator - details are at
http://www.mythic.wordpr.com/page14/page9/page9.html

As events occur I write them up and they will be published here. Fights are played out using Ganesha Games' Mutants & Death Ray Guns and whatever players are around and keen.

The main characters are shown below, along with the figures which inspired them and then represent them.

Picture
Sutek the Seer.
Mutant human. Q4+ C3 Telepathy, TK Push, Danger Sense.
Sutek considers himself to be leader of the group. Is he the creature of the group's employer, the Trademaster Horocaxi, or a hireling like the rest?

Picture
Akim Jart.
Mutant human.Q4+ C4 Strong constitution, Gunsmith, Powered HTH weapon, Pistol.
Hardy, stolid and a voracious eater, Akim Jart is a latecomer to the group.

Picture
Brol
Mutant human.Q3+ C3 Fear of Fire, Leader, Danger Sense.
Brol is the leader of the three who form the core of the group and, by default, leader of the rest. He is more of a thinker than a fighter.

Picture
Thok
Mutant human. Q4+ C3 Slow, Steadfast.
Slow, dependable, and mute, Thok appears to have been the recipient of crude enhancement surgery in the past.

Picture
Vetch
Mutant human. Q4+ C3 Poison, Hand-to-hand Specialist, Poison antidote. Immune to Wretched plague.
Vetch is Brol's right-hand-person and is perhaps the most empathetic of the group.

Picture
Theodora Fane
 Pure strain human. Q3+ C2 Sharpshooter, Laser.
Theodora is rescued by the others early in the story. She appears to have been placed in stasis around the time of the catastrophe but remembers little of her former life.

Picture
Tag Zachary
 Pure strain human. Q3+ C2 Stealth, Shotgun.
Tag Zachary is an experienced scout seconded to the party in the course of their travels.

Picture
Stivo
Stivo is a veteran guard who joins the group when they are called upon to defend the caravan.

Picture
This  beetle-person is an unexpected addition to the group. Sutek is able to communicate to a limited extend via telepathy.
Picture
Aspar & Essling also helped the group out at one point.
