Eccentric and brilliant in equal measure - RAM is the undisputed leader of the Technos. A childhood prodigy, everyone recognises RAM as a visionary and genius - none more than himself. With his disability he faces challenges and he is also a hypochondriac, a little paranoid, and has an explosive temper but his followers believe these are outweighed by his mathematical, technical and computer skills. He is ruthless but rewards loyalty and performance. RAM has a dream which he is determined to realise - but will it turn into a nightmare for everyone else?

Second only to RAM in computer skills and technical competence, VED is inspired by RAM, who seems more of an influence and role model than Jay is for him. VED is a rebel with a cause.

A face from the past threatens to shadow the future of JAVA and her sister, SIVA.

Like her sister, JAVA, Siva is bethrothed as one of RAM's "girls" and carries considerable influence in the Technos. But unlike JAVA, Siva is not content with this - she fears RAM for his anger and jealousy and doesn't like being anybody's "property". Siva is looking for genuine love with the guy of her dreams - this isn't RAM. But she is loyal to RAM for what he has done for her and will defend him. With good computer skills and hand-to-hand fighting, SIVA often leads ground operations for the Technos. She and JAVA sometimes argue about RAM and what to do - but they are united in loathing and contempt for someone from their past who may threaten their futures...

Charley Samau

Size is not everything. Mouse may be small and young but she has her own distinct character and makes a big impact. Although younger than her brother Charlie, Mouse is more extrovert and vocal and in some ways, controls things more than her older brother. Mouse is looking for a stable and loving home but like Charlie, is initially distrustful and cynical of strangers. Mouse has precocious entrepreneurial skills and is keen to spot an opportunity for a quick profit. She loves making mischief and having fun but has a kind heart overall and will do what she can to help others. This Mouse is the youngest - but not the most quiet - of the Mall Rats.
