Added DiffLines:
* MeaningfulName: Abundant.
** John ''Horus''- Horus judges the sins of the dead. He is also the child of Ra, the sun god
** Laura ''Torch''- The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long. She is by far the most powerful of the guns, so much so that she demanded no one else be allowed to wield her gun, but she was also the first of the Guns to die by a significant margin. Notably she was also the light of the Guns, heavily implied to be their MoralityChain and their guiding light
** Dom ''Hyde''- Dominic is the one who undergoes the most significant physical transformation as part of his augments, and notably becomes more aggressive and enraged upon doing so. The simplicity and common understanding of his name also belies how he is the one with the least depth and who most abides by the laws of society; he values simple descriptors that communicate his intentions clearly. Notably he is the first to speak publicly after John kills the president, and is as transparent as he can be.
** Katheryn Artemis- Her name has a lot of subtle layers: Katheryn is a greek name meaning "purity", and Artemis was famously the goddess of the hunt and of wild and untamed nature. Kathy herself is the purest of the Guns and is largely both TheUnfettered while avoiding AGodAmI. She simply wants to help people and has no compunctions about killing for the sake of saving lives. She is a wild animal, but in the ReformedButNotTamed sense, she has pure survival instincts and lives by her own rules
** Angel One- she provides perhaps the best example of the BodyHorror that went into the Guns enhancements in her flashback, covered in horrific scars travelling all the way up her legs, calling to mind the biblical description of angels. She also is one of only two Guns who flies, and is implied to be the only one who does so under her own power, with "wings" made of her internal enhancements in contrast to John who is carried by his Eyes
** Tom Noir- He fancies himself the detective of the group, operates in the shadows using subterfuge, and is conspicuously the point of view character on an unfurling conspiracy that begins when a friend he thought long-dead knocks on his "office" door. He's also the most cynical of the group and the only one with a permanent nonlethal injury, the same way many noir detectives emphasize their human frailty.
