Road Rally - Team Silverknight

Yes, that vehicle is a transformer. (Actually, THAT is an image of a Patlabor papercraft which suited my needs.)

Silverknight Industries is an engineering firm led up by Vax himself, who doesn't actually have legs - those he's wearing on top of that vehicle are cybernetics. He actually inserts his torso into the vehicle's 'driver pod' and controls it with his nerves. Silverknight sponsors the engineering and math departments at Carramba, along with several other major corporations.

Team Silverknight
Vax Silverknight, owner, primary driver. Born without legs, but practically talking straight out of the womb. A brilliant engineer, who designed his own legs, including a centaur-like body he prefers.
Bethany Lyle, synesthetic navigator, secondary driver. She can 'see sounds' and 'taste colors'. She makes a terrific navigator, usually in space.
Gordon Freeman, mechanic and theoretical physicist. By way of Paragon and Carramba's engineering department, Gordon won't steal those Silverknight secrets to hand them off to Black Mesa. Even though Black Mesa's on the list of locations to visit...
American Foxx, local superheroine. A furry with an attitude and the fighting power to back it up. Carramba Alum.
Nabib, author and researcher for the "Trusty Tome of Things To Run From", also featured in "The Illustrated Adventures of Melora and Nabib", a form of magical comic book.
Maelin Siang, jerboa adventurer from a fantasy alternate dimension. She does not do windows. Do not ask.
Monarch, a fairy. Not much else is known about her.
Her, that's her name. She's an angelic demon, but what her goals or intentions are, nobody knows.
Magg, Carramba student, dragon rider, and all around absolute hottie.
Piers Hoarfrost, President of the United States of America (not this one). He's also a dragon rider. And an instructor at Carramba.
