Species: Red Kangaroo The main hero of the comic, Jared isn't the brightest bulb in the lot, but his inherent innocence and luck tend to help him get through even the toughest of situations. He tries to be a big hotshot and impress the ladies when he can, but usually with disastrous results. There isn't much that he won't try, and if he fails at it, well, just try again. This can be a pain sometimes for him, and even more painful for those to watch so Vikki's usually trying to keep him in line. He has known here since grade school, and being two of the rare kangaroos in the county, had immediately hit it off. He would prefer to keep his options open and insist on 'just being friends' with her, but deep down something says otherwise... CURRENT STATUS: Injured and helpless above the forest |
Species: Red Kangaroo The heroine of this comic, Victoria, or Vikki as she's mainly known, is the brains of the outfit. Besides collaring Jared whenever he's about to do something stupid, she is generally the Leader and Decision maker of the two. Since she's known Jared since second grade, she's picked up on his mannerisms and traits much more than anyone else, and can relate with him the best. That's one of the main reasons she and Jared put up with each other at the same job during the summer months for so long... Though she tries to deny it, there's something more than a normal friendship starting between them...
CURRENT STATUS: Struggling to overcome her magical talents and save herself
and Jared |
Species: Red Kangaroo Owner and Founder of Boomer Express Delivery Service, Gary has been always striving for the best service. Since the company is rather new, he's only taken on two employees for now, Jared and Victoria. Something about the coincidence that the perfect job would come up for two of the only kangaroos in town at the same time comes across as a bit odd, though... is there some Hidden Agenda that this Boomer has?
CURRENT STATUS: Despondent and dazed atop the hospital |
Species: Gholem Isa is a close friend from Victoria's past. She has never been actually seen in the strip, however. One of the residents of the alternate dimension was able to see into Vikki's mind with her magic, and create a perfect replica of her, using a variant of illusion magic to craft the complex image from Victoria's memory. But memory is seldom a perfect replica of reality, so Truth may differ from Fiction. CURRENT STATUS: Chief Magickal Advisor to King Montifort IV in Pah'Slute |
Species: Gholem His true name in tones unpronounceable, this alternate world scholar has chosen to call himself simply 'Tim', since he found the name succinct and to the point. His job was to teach Victoria how to properly channel her magical energies and use them for good. But something isn't completely right... UPDATED: A traitor to the cause, Tim was secretly in league with the Demons from the start, and taught Victoria the wrong ways of Magic, and subsequently led her to sacrifice her body and soul to resurrect Tiamat. However, Tim was crushed by Jared in his giant dragon form during the ensuing battle with the Precursor of Earth, and is presumed dead.
CURRENT STATUS: Two-Dimensional somewhere in the Old Woods |
Species: Gholem These alternate dimension teachers, again with names too high off the scale to pronounce, have also chose simple names, Neil and Bob... It was never really determined which one is which, but they seem to always be around whenever Jared needs to learn something new. They helped him learn how to fly once his Dragon began to manifest, and how to control his size shifting abilities.
CURRENT STATUS: In their homeworld in the Alternate Dimension |
Species: Cheetah Isaac Goldenhart is a relatively new addition to the cast. His past has yet to be revealed. For some reason he was in the woods when Jared, Victoria, and Isa escaped from Kaminovo's power at Pah'Slute Castle. He claims to be a simple peasant, but his skills are far above ordinary... UPDATED: The Captain of the Star Knights, Isaac was sent to protect the Dragon inside Jared when the King was taken captive by the Demons Kaminovo and Kyominara. He mistakenly attacked them at first, believing Jared to be a demon when he was half-dragon. He eventually fired the parting shot that sealed Tiamat's permanent demise, and rescued Victoria from an otherwise unholy fate...
CURRENT STATUS: Captain of the Star Knights in Pah'Slute |
Species: Demon An ancient and dark Demon who is bent on capture of the mysterious artifact that now resides within Jared. He will stop at nothing and slaughter anyone who stands in his path. But what is his true reason for this focused pursuit? After a resounding defeat at the hands of Jared and Victoria in the world of Pah'Slute, the demon's actions have been quelled, but his recent return to attempt to kidnap Jared right out from under Arroyo's nose is still in contest. Will Arroyo be able to hold his own against a greater foe?
CURRENT STATUS: Unknown |
Species: Demon Demons can change shape and form at will, but some always choose to beguile their victims and targets with the shape that is most distracting. This vixen is also on the trail of the Dragon that Jared has. Apparently Kaminovo was not trusted enough to do the job on his own...
CURRENT STATUS: Unknown |
Species: Rabbit The mysterious and energetic rabbit who's brief appearance dramatically changed the lives of Jared and Victoria forever on that one day. He later returned as Gary's consort in magical affairs, though both Jared and Vicoria do not know of his firm connection... nor does anyone know about his previous connection with Kaminovo...
CURRENT STATUS: Lost after leaping off the roof and failing to grab hold
of the helicopter |
Species: Raccoon Your everyday, average Role Playing guy, Adam has been friends with Victoria and Jared since high school began. He tries to hold a regular weekend session with them and a couple other friends, but it hasn't always been successful. He's working on his masterpiece campaign that will be the Ultimate that all others will be based off of, once he gets it done. When Victoria attempted to vent some of her frustrations over being unable to assist Jared's recovery, even with her newfound abilities, she sought to take it out on the poor raccoon at the local Rennaissance Fair during their annual Boffer Tournament... while soundly trouncing most of the competition, Adam was able to win over the hotheaded Victoria's wild display of rage and unfocused assault, and earned her attention for a night on a date...
CURRENT STATUS: Being stood up |
Species: Red Fox The first character encountered in the land of Pah'Slute, Angus McCleod was there to welcome Jared and Victoria to the land at gunpoint. A strange enough encounter, since the setting appeared to be medieval in origin... In time, it was learned that he was the King's aide and confidant, helping to guide the Star Knights across the kingdom towards the unity of the land and furthering peace and prosperity for all. CURRENT STATUS: Serving the King in Pah'Slute. |
Species: Brown Bear The spoiled rotten brat of a Prince, John has been raised in the lap of luxury of royal lineage and has little to no knowledge of the common working man's strife. Coupled with the fact that his father, King Montifort, let him take over the throne while he was studying in the Royal Library for some way to combat the coming of Tiamat, his ego soon inflated to many times the legal limit for a child of his age. He's spoiled to the hilt, and was promised to receive the Dragon that Jared and Victoria were scheduled to deliver to him on that fateful delivery run. Now he fitfully seeks revenge on Jared for stealing his Dragon and his thunder, pursuing them with such vigor and passion that surpasses his age. After being sent to the hospital from an unknown assailant who turned out to be Gary, he had the misfortune to be placed in the same room as his most despised opponent, Jared. However, he was 'transferred back to Jared's house' to be held in care by a nurse, paid entirely from his parents' insurance... something Jared was unaware that he even had... CURRENT STATUS: Unknown, somewhere in Jared's world. |
Species: Brown Bear King Montifort IV has long ruled over the land of Pah'Slute with peace and compassion, ensuring a healthy trade with outside lands and keeping the darkest of secrets locked away deep within the castle walls. For eons, it had been told that the great Precursor Tiamat had been sealed beneath the castle, an unimaginably powerful evil force that was destined to break free once more to ravage the world. It was he who discovered the lost Prophecy which would eventually lead the lives of Jared, Victoria, and everyone else into the fateful battle that would determine the face of his world forever. His kingdom was heavily damaged in the ensuing battle, but good prevailed, and now, he must rebuild his shattered kingdom and restore it to its previous glory. CURRENT STATUS: King of Pah'Slute. |
Species: Raccoon Theobald McCormick is a high ranking noble who lives in the upper section of the city of Pah'Slute. It was through his research that the key to the Prophecy was finally found and used to unlock the secrets of Jared and Victoria's role in the upcoming Battle of Titans, and ultimately his assistance, coupled with Torvald Asterson, led to Jared's victory over Tiamat. Although his estate was destroyed, along with most of Pah'Slute in the climactic battle, he resolved to further study the land's history, eager to unlock the next mystery for future generations to work on. CURRENT STATUS: Assisting in the reconstruction of Pah'Slute |
Species: Whitetail Deer Torvald Asterton is a Squire serving under the King, training to become a Star Knight. His task to guard Theobald McCormick was to be one of his requirments to advance in rank, but when confronted with several demonic shadows under Kaminovo's control, he and Theobald were captured and taken away to the Old City ruins deep under the Old woods. His undying loyalty to the King and to his Charge would ultimately lead them to survival and escape. CURRENT STATUS: Training to be a Star Knight, Assisting in the reconstruction of Pah'Slute |
Species: Red Kangaroo
CURRENT STATUS: Repairing yet another hole in the ceiling. |
Species: Red Kangaroo Stephen Havencroft, Victoria's absentminded father, is always looking to improve on this or tinker with that. His constant experimenting with the laws of nature and the physics of reality have left their home in quite the modest impression of swiss cheese, and if it weren't for his wife, Kathleen Havencroft, it would surely fall apart in a matter of days. He does have his moments of inspiration, his most notable invention being the Hyperbaric Particle Accelerator, but generally forgets the one crucial ingredient in his calculations, usually a blast shield at least a foot thick. CURRENT STATUS: Causing yet another hole in the ceiling. |
Species: Red Kangaroo Dr. Von Harris is an esteemed inventor and scientist of many years, also turning his talent to the field of cinematography in his early years. His most notable achievements include the then spectacular special effects used to create 'Project: Early' a 1970s sci fi flick about a giant lapine causing havoc in a small idyllic town. His lifelike representations of 'miniature' cars and houses being crushed by the actor playing Early won multiple awards, and to this day he has never revealed his secret: He actually grew Early up to 70 feet tall and unleashed her on a set of prefabricated homes and cars destined for the junkyard. He is the inventor of the Matter Enhancement Generator Array (MEGA) that can physically magnify and reduce matter to greater and smaller sizes. CURRENT STATUS: Watching helplessly as Typhonis and Ryan are locked in combat |
Species: Jumping Spider (Enlarged) Winfred Montgomery was an ordinary spider going about his daily hunting business when he errantly jumped into the testifre beam from Dr. Harris' growth ray, and the resulting shock not only increased the spider's size and physical ability, but enlarged his brain to be able to comprehend and learn on the level of other sentient beings around the world. Dr. Harris took him in as a servant and taught him proper ettiquette, assigning him the role of lab assistant and butler around the mansion for several years. When an unfortunate accident shrunk Dr. Harris down to a few inches tall, Winfred was the only link that Dr. Harris had with the real world, and his only companion for nearly 20 years of obscurity. He is a true and dedicated servant, eternally grateful for his sentience and abilities, and will do anything to help and protect Dr. Harris from harm. CURRENT STATUS: Watching helplessly as Typhonis and Ryan are locked in combat |
The Mastermind?
CURRENT STATUS: |
Species: Common Rabbit Many years ago, she was inadvertently caught in one of Dr. Harris' experiments to end world hunger by simply growing the food supply, magnifying it with his MEGA device... however, the power of suddenly being 70 feet tall almost went to her head, and Dr. Harris narrowly convinced her to only act out her frustrations by starring in a hastily planned movie instead of rampaging Ferrington to the ground. She's been stuck at her current size for nearly 20 years, and knows how powerful she is. If Dr. Harris wasn't able to somehow keep her in check, who knows what might have happened... CURRENT STATUS: Typhonis' Soulgem. |
Species: River Otter An ordinary otter caught up in an extroadinary turn of events. A simple college student, Ryan has always been fascinated by geology, and the wonders that the Earth itself can perform with rock, stone, and landscapes. Perhaps it was no accident that the Dragon Orb sought out one so closely related to the element of Earth... CURRENT STATUS: Unwillingly transformed into an Otte'ragon. Assaulting Typhonis a dozen miles outside of Ferrington. |
Species: Skunk Ryan's old roommate at Ferrington University, he also shares a passion for all things Earthen. Their coinciding Majors in Geology led them to be placed as roommates their first year at college... mainly because no one else would accept having to live with a skunk... Their friendship blossomed gradually throughout the year, once Ryan managed to find Tomato Juice Deoderant for Michael to wear. Now, he has only concern knowing what bizarre fate fell his closest friend right before his eyes, as Ryan transformed and broke free into the sky... CURRENT STATUS: Scanning the sky with binoculars from his home, wondering what those weird lights are off in the distance. |
