The Standoff Series

The Standoff Series, which is usually stylized as TSS, is a series of maps that have storylines. They include the character Stephan Riechter as the main character, along with Sarkovee Nak, Miyako Mizuki, Patrick MacIntyer, Dokin Viener, and occasionally Kena Zakrob. TSS is titled 'The Standoff Series' because Riechter and his group fight a very powerful beast at the end of the world, much like on the Zombie Storm series.

Characters
Stephan Riechter: A very proud, and strong willed, young German man born into a middle class family. His parents both died when he was young, his mother from cancer and his father from suicide, so he is very serious about everything. He was a Nazi when he was young, as he was told they were just people who wanted to make Germany a more powerful and better place. Riechter was a natural soldier, but couldn't believe what he saw when he visited a concentration camp, specifically a young Jewish woman and her baby gassed to death. After he ran away, Riechter became a target of everyone, including his own country. He has a soft spot for Patrick, who he sees as a nice young man, and serves as a confidante, a mentor, and somewhat of a father figure to him, mainly because Riechter never had a good one himself, and wants the boy to feel welcome. Riechter has a very mixed relationship with Sarkovee, and most of the humor in the series is present when the two are in the same area, in a very dark way. Most of his quotes throughout the levels have to do with his signature outlook on life, and his parents. He nicely comments on Patrick and rudely on Sarkovee, respectively.

Sarkovee Nak: An extremely vulgar, rude, and immature Russian man. Even though he is the oldest, he acts the youngest, and this stems from his childhood. He grew up in a very wealthy family, and got very spoiled. As he got older, people made fun of his child-like ways, and he decided to join the Soviet Union in order to prove him wrong. However, war was much more than he bargained for, and he was horrified to see his whole unit wiped out by German soldiers, which also explains his rivalry with Riechter. What he saw pushed him to drink heavily, and he became nothing but a drunk. He boarded a train for America, hoping for a better life, but got invloved with Riechter, who he now fights with. He comments on Doking politely, trying to make him feel better about himself, as Riechter is always lecturing him for being clumsy, and very impolite to Riechter, whom he hates.
