Some of the members of the Riviera News Team who work to provide the news to the people. Lets get to know the crew: 1. Stefano Sotrie Sotrie’s the man with the face always making sure to provide the people with the news. He is very charismatic and proven himself much better than the previous anchor. 2. Laura Fields Laura is Stefano’s sudacious and charming co-anchor. She is quite the funny girl always joking around with Stefano during broadcasts. She hosts her own talk show as well. 3. Lance Fields Son of Laura Fields. Lance got a job as field reporter because of his mother being a an anchor. He someday wants to be an anchor like his mother and always works to find stories to report on. 4. Brett Winner The loud and proud Sports anchor. He was a former football player who never gave up on his love of football. Also works as a sports arena announcer. 5. Misty Weathers The soft and quiet weather anchor. She is one of the later additions to the crew as Riviera never had weather before what with all the smog in the air. She have a crush on Brett. 6. Aisha Bowen Aisha became a photographer for the news station after reporting her kidnapping at Everfall to the station. They gave a top notch photography gig after seeing some of the photos she took. 7. Candice Shooter A freelance journalist and researcher, Candice was caught digging too deeply into the weapons being developed at Facility-03. She was taken by Dario and transformed into the 99th of his robot-human hybrids. However, she was soon rescued by the head scientist there. 8. C4M-3R0N “Cam” Cam is just one of many bots working at the news station. As Riviera News’s ‘eye in the sky,’ Cam will go anywhere to cover a story. Whether hovering low in a small room or soaring high to look down at traffic, Cam always delivers award-winning video footage. 9. M1C-H431 “Mike” (Not to be confused with Scarlett Squad's Mike) Mike is the robotic sound engineer, editor for Riviera News. He’s his own personal sound studio always working to provide the right kind of music that fits the tone the news is trying to convey. Mike secretly wants to be a DJ one day. 10. V4-N3S54 “Vanny” Vanny is the news crew’s ride—literally. She can transform into a van and she carries all the equipment needed for reporting. She is typically out with Lance and other field reporters. 11. Retooled Drones Most of the drones that didn’t end up scrapped find new homes and some drones ended up working for the news as they’re able to get good panning done whenever they record. They usually go out whenever Cam is doing recording inside. 12. Victor Populis The disgraced reporter: Back in the day, Victor worked as a reporter during Riviera’s dystopian era. He fed people lies, convincing them to trust the empire and believe that everything was fine when it really wasn’t. He was merely spoon-feeding lies to keep the masses compliant. Shortly after the shutdown of the Cumulor, Victor was fired and arrested on several charges of news fraud and siding with Direm. Stefan soon took his place, along with Laura.
c2a NOTES: - Stefano, Cam and Mike are based on the Newzers from the Mixels series. - Stefano's last name is a reference to The Whole World and You by Tally Hall. - Vanny's inspiration is Transformers. - Victor is inspired by Vox from Hazbin Hotel.
