Ras
Story protagonist; early tank / firefight anchor while you learn systems. Unofficial summary.
TL;DR — New Steam / Foundry players usually prioritize specialty-change supports (Angelic Montmorancy, Falconer Kluri, Commander Lorina) plus an early farmer like Alexa; tutorial leads cover Ras / Mercedes / Aither / Judith. This hub is an unofficial role/element reference with on-site cards — not official kits. Banner timing belongs on Banners/Updates citing STOVE.
Onboarding priority for new Steam / Foundry accounts — not a full-server PvP tier list. Color plus text for accessibility.
