Gears 5 is set on the world of Sera and takes place months after the events of Gears of War 4. The majority of its narrative focuses on Kait Diaz (Laura Bailey), originally a member of a human faction known as the Outsiders who resist the totalitarian rule of the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG), the dominant human nation state in Sera headquartered in the city of New Ephyra. Subsequent events in the narrative forces Kait, who had experienced recurring nightmarish visions after Gears of War 4, to discover the origins of the monstrous Locust Horde that threatened the human civilizations of Sera a generation before, as well as the truth behind her connection to Myrrah (Carolyn Seymour), the deceased Queen of the Locust.

Kait is accompanied by her friend Delmont "Del" Walker (Eugene Byrd) and a robot named Jack for the majority of her journey. Del's best friend James Dominic "JD" Fenix (Liam McIntyre) is the player character for the first chapter of Gears 5. Other important characters include JD's father Marcus Fenix (John DiMaggio) replaces DiMaggio if the Ba); Damon Baird (Fred Tatasciore), a former comrade of Marcus and the creator of Jack; Fahz Chutani (Rahul Kohli), a former friend of JD and Del; and COG First Minister Mina Jinn (Angel Desai). By the events of Gears 5, Kait, JD, Del, and Marcus are officially reinstated in the COG Army and reformed as the new Delta Squad.

Only Gears I ever played was over at a friend's place----------he wanted to get me into the first game so we could do online co-op together. Towards the end of the first level, I got some kind of orbital laser aiming device or whatever---------------I asked if friendly fire was on, and he said no. So I aimed it at him and pulled the trigger, and the orbital thingie fired on our location, killing us both. He was pissed. 'You idiot! What the hell did you do that for?!?' 'You said friendly fire wasn't on!'

He probably wouldn't have kicked me out if I hadn't been laughing so hard.

[EDIT: I don't care what anyone says------------"Fenix" is spelled stupidly. If you want to call your character "Marcus Phoenix", then do it right, dangit. Simon Phoenix might be the biggest jerk in the history of the future, but at least he has the courtesy to spell his name correctly.]
