[gameoverman]

Marine - Science Officer (?) - Colonist (?)
Marine (heavy weapons) - Engineer (?) - Marine

[Corporal Hicks]

Yeah, she looks alot like a rancher or something. (top right)

[Pythagoras]

The blonde is very likely to be an android.

[AvPvTerminator]

Top left - Pope
Bottom left- Santos
Bottom right - Donner?

From the nametags.

[Private Hudson]

Pvt Pope (If they are marines that doesn't make sence because Pvt doesn't have a symbol[Whatever]).

Corporal Santos

Lance Corporal Donner ()

[Pythagoras]

She may be a Private First Class, which uses the symbol she has.

[Private Hudson]

Maybe.

[Space Voyager]

The lesson here is that all women soldiers are beautiful. 

[Private Hudson]

Looks ugly to me.

[Revengers]

Looks ugly to me.

In what sense?

[Pythagoras]

Maybe.

No longer.

Since I saw it discussed somewhere else: the rank insignia used on the characters are Private First Class (PFC) Pope, Corporal (Cpl) Santos, and Lance Corporal (LCpl) Donner. The "ordinary" Private rank has no insignia in the marines.

J.E is known to be very meticulous in details. The discussions in other thread of Obsidian's Alien forums reflects that he emphasize on the accuracy of the lore with extreme nerdiness.

Graphics look kind of choppy, although these are just renders...Right?

I think their just story mode characters and the main character is the character that you would make on your own.

Those are real-time Onyx (our engine) renders of characters for a sci-fi game we are working on. The characters were built in XSI and Z-Brush by Dimitri Berman (some work by Adam Bolton, Kye-Wan Sung, and Ngiah Lam).
