| November 30, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

General Rosa Elizabeth Nelson is the general of her own personal army of mercenaries, who are hired to take part of any mission that interest them.

 

Rosa isn’t really too interested in fighting for good or for evil, however, she has taken assignments from people from both sides for her own goals.

 

Rosa is very focused on her goals and will stop at nothing to accomplish them, but outside of the battlefield, she is a very down-to-earth person.

 

Rosa is approximately 34 years old.

#29 – Oliver

| November 29, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Oliver is a young martial artist who is currently training for an important event.

#28 – Jennifer

| November 28, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Jennifer was the leader of a small group of rebels who often caused trouble in the city, hoping to further their own selfish goals at the expense of others.  And then she met a rival in the form of Sandy, whose mission was to apprehend her in the first place.  When they met, a battle occurred, and Jennifer nearly defeated Sandy, but Sandy managed to defeat her and she eventually found herself in a prison.

 

From that day forward, Jennifer vowed to ensure the defeat of Sandy.  However, Drew and her army started to attack, and Jennifer is left with no choice but to team up with the very warrior she is trying to defeat.

#27 – Joshua the Lone Swordsman

| November 27, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Joshua is a swordsman who is consistently hunting down a particular rival of his whom he seeks revenge against after a humiliating defeat.  Despite this, he is a man of honor and will not harm anyone he doesn’t consider a threat.

#26 – Maria

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Nobody really knows who this person is, or what her intentions are, but Maria is a trained assassin for hire.  Her most common targets are possible threats to those who wish to take over the world.  But one day, when she eradicates one of her targets, she begins to realize something terrible:  that target in particular was the person who had saved her from a madman before she ended up becoming an assassin in the first place.

 

With that in mind, Maria chases after the man who hired her to do that vile deed.

#25 – Nadia

| November 25, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Nadia spent much of her childhood wanting to become an actress, and maybe even, at some point or another, a director.  Then, in high school, Julia, who sarcastically suggested she should be an action star, invited her to a “really cool club”.  Nadia reluctantly accepted the invitation, and followed the sophomore to a classroom in the 2nd floor.

 

Turns out that Nadia had been tricked into joining Julia’s group with the big emphasis on game shows and obstacle courses.  This scam was what prompted Megumi (Meg) to devise a rule that Julia must now follow:  No recruiting students without their permission.  Nadia was Julia’s 4th “recruit”.

 

Between Julia’s lectures about her plans and her keeping an eye on the other members, Nadia feels very uncomfortable about being watched over by such a strict leader.  In fact, she’s even scared of trying to sneak out.

 

Nadia is very shy and gets nervous easily.  She also worries a lot about the possible future that awaits if something were to go wrong.

 

Nadia is 18 years old.

#24 – Patrick

| November 25, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Patrick is Stanley’s older brother.  After training hand to hand combat with a combat master, he returns to his home to find out that his brother has found a sword out in the middle of nowhere.  Not surprised by this, Pat thought his brother would simply use it to fight against evil monsters and wizards that would try to take sword for their own goals.

 

…To his own shock, Stanley plans on returning the sword to its original owner, whoever it may be, and he believes that the only way to do so is to wander around and ask people of importance who the sword belongs to.  Pat fears that this may lead to his little brother’s death, so he enlists the aid of his two closest friends, Danny and Linda, to supervise Stanley and protect him from any harm if necessary.

 

Due to his methods of supervision and defense, Patrick may come off as a bit overprotective.  However, he values the safety of his little brother.

 

Patrick is approximately 25 years old.

#23 – The Masked Marine

| November 24, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

If there’s anyone who’s truly insane, then there’s Tobias, a.k.a. the Masked Marine, as everyone calls him.  Claiming to be a classy marine wearing a mask, he goes around the city picking fights with anyone who looks like a threat.  Whether he is a vigilante or a criminal remains to be seen, however.

#22 – Linda the Shield Warrior

| November 23, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

After hearing about a young man that found a sword, and intending on returning it to its rightful owner, Linda, a young warrior who always carries a shield because she likes to defend herself (and others) from enemy attacks, decides that it would be wise to supervise him.  She is doing so alongside the protector of the kingdom.

 

Linda never carries a weapon, just a shield that is used only for defensive measures.  Instead, she uses hand to hand combat to deal with any threats that she encounters.

#21 – Joey the Ninja in Training

| November 22, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Joey is a young man who is currently being trained by an expert ninja to become one.  He’s a bit of a clumsy guy, but he knows what he’s doing.

#20 – Alice

| November 21, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Alice is one of the most recent freshmen in high school.  When Austin informs her of Julia and how her intention is to get as many students into her club as possible, Alice makes a mental note to avoid her and anyone in the club.  She was nearly dragged into it, but thankfully for her, Megumi (Meg) told Julia that she wasn’t going to recruit anymore students without their consent, and Alice simply walked away.

 

Alice is very aware of what’s going on and is not at all clumsy.  She also has a lot of respect for Meg, especially for saving her from Julia.

 

Alice is 14 years old.

#19 – Danny

| November 21, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Danny, like many great knights, would rather go around and fight to protect his kingdom.  But when a young villager manages to find a mysterious sword, he puts his plans on hold to supervise the young man in order to prevent him from getting into too much trouble.  He certainly finds him annoying, but if he wants to remain protector of his kingdom, it’d be wise not to leave the kid unattended.

#18 – Rachel

| November 21, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Rachel is the head of a group of young people whose job is to find people who would want to try out their newest obstacle course.  Rachel is generally very calm, but also fairly mean-spirited.

#17 – Gary

| November 17, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Gary was once an ordinary guy.  He’s the son of a famous hero, and he spent much of his childhood hanging out with friends and training with Eric’s mother.  But then Eric came around and gave him the idea of being a crimefighter.

 

Now he dedicates his life to “making the lives of every evildoer miserable”.

 

Gary is a very carefree guy, and at times a bit crazy.  However, like Eric, he has a strong sense of justice, and will not hesitate to attack any villain who gets in his way.

 

Gary is 18 years old.

#16 – Eric

| November 17, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Eric is the youngest of three children to a former martial arts champion and a former hero.  Growing up, he spent his time training with his mother, who taught him everything she knew.  She would also tell the story of how she was once the ally of a group of peacekeepers who fought against a wicked criminal who was once her friend from time to time.

 

When Eric turned 18, after a fight with an annoymous criminal, he grew fascinated with the idea of fighting crime.  So he and his best friend become crimefighters.

 

Eric is kinda quiet, and somewhat mean-spirited, but he has a very strong sense of justice.

#15 – Gordon the Creepy Mysterious Hunter

| November 16, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

There is no knowledge about Gordon’s past.  He is just an odd hunter who seems to have a fascination with hats and jackets.

#14 – Austin

| November 15, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Austin is a high school junior and aspiring contestant for one of his favorite game shows.  In fact, he and his friends have always wanted to go on that show ever since they watched it for the first time.  When one of the transfer students, Julia, moved to the school, he learned that she wanted to build an obstacle course.

 

Austin also found out that Julia started a club dedicated to game shows and obstacle courses, and dragged fellow transfer student Mandy, his classmate Megumi (a.k.a. Meg), and his girlfriend Vanessa into it.  Curious about the sophomore’s club, he decided to join it himself, and offered to help Mandy supervise her and ensure that no one gets into too much trouble.  After all, they are very upset at Julia for starting the club.  Though Austin loves game shows, he is very concerned that Julia will eventually get everyone in trouble…

 

…and he may never forgive himself if that happens.

 

Austin is very athletic, and he is very aware of the things that goes on between him and other people such as his friends, family, and of course, the other club members.  While his dream is to be on his favorite game show along with his friends, he also wants to be a host for a game show at some point or another.

 

Austin is 16 years old.

#13 – Vanessa

| November 13, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Vanessa is a high school senior who also happens to be a really big fan of baseball, and even hopes to someday form her own baseball team.

 

However, only five days after mischevious, game show crazed sophomore Julia transferred to her school, Vanessa found herself dragged into Julia’s club.  She was the third person to be forced to join the club, Mandy and Megumi (a.k.a. Meg) both joining before her.  While Vanessa doesn’t exactly hate Julia as much as Meg does, she is still bitter about not being able to play baseball again as long as Julia is watching her, which makes her wish she could just sneak out of the club while she would be unable to notice.

 

Many people joke that Vanessa looks like a supervillain in disguise, but she isn’t at all.  While she is generally carefree and fun loving, she can also be described as a honorable person, which is to say, she despises dirty tricks, cheating, and generally anything that breaks any rules of any board game or sport she plays or spectates.  She is also good friends with Meg.

 

Vanessa and Meg have been known to attempt each other’s favorite sport from time to time, a trend they started since they first met.

 

Vanessa is 18 years old.

#12 – Meg

| November 12, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Megumi (or Meg, as she prefers to call herself) was an ordinary high school junior who just wanted to grow up to become an expert swimmer.  That was, until Julia moved to her school, and founded a club dedicated to obstacle courses and game shows.  Shortly afterwards, Meg was dragged into the club and it slowly began to interfere with her swimming practice sessions.

 

Meg became furious at Julia for founding the club in the first place, and threatened to sabotage her course by adding a large swimming pool in the middle of it, but Mandy stopped her on the grounds that she doesn’t want anyone to get in trouble while she’s around.  However, Meg and Julia would pretty much hate each other, and Meg, being older than Julia, claims that she has no right to boss her around (or anyone else in the club for the matter, as they are also older than Julia)

 

Outside of arguments with Julia, Meg is actually a really nice girl.  She likes helping anyone in need, and she is also very sociable.

 

Meg is 17 years old.

#11 – Julia

| November 12, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Julia is a high school sophomore who was recently transferred from her old school, just like Mandy.  She loves obstacle courses, as she likes to move around and jump a lot.  Ever since she was 13, she wanted to build her own obstacle course after watching one too many game shows.  Now 15, she has decided to work on one of her own courses.  Not much progress has been made on the course, but she does use some of her free time to build it.

 

When that course is completed, Julia plans on forcing Mandy to attempt it, whether she likes it or not.

#10 – Mandy

| November 11, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Mandy is a high school student who, after having recently been transferred to another school, runs into a group of students who want to become contestants of their favorite game show.  Mandy feels that she may need to make sure that they don’t end up getting in too much trouble.

#9 – Sheldon the Mysterious Ninja

| November 10, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Nothing is known about Sheldon’s past, or who he is, but he is a ninja who shows up at random moments either to assist those in need for whatever reason, or to punish the criminals he spots as he wanders around.

 

This guy views himself as somewhat of a professional, but is open to advice.

#8 – Tyler the Expert Mechanic

| November 8, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Tyler was once a thief who stole mechanical parts in order to create his own “inventions” for kicks.  One day, Drew made an attempt to recruit him to build weapons and armor parts for her army.  Tyler refused on the grounds that he would never use his skills for evil purposes, and she tried to kill him.

 

However, Sandy and her father caught up to Drew and stopped her before she could even lay a finger on him.  For saving him, Tyler promised to build the Grounds a special machine that will come in handy whenever they need it.  He now builds weapons for peacekeepers, as well as other useful machines for everyday use.

 

He can be kind of clumsy at times, but he is truly serious about his job.  When he’s not building something like some super awesome laser cannon, he spends his free time sightseeing, talking to people, and shopping for spare parts for weapons (even though he used to steal such items back then).

#7 – Stanley

| November 8, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Stanley was an average villager until he stumbled upon a mysterious sword.

 

Instead of using it to fight monsters, he decided that he must figure out who the sword originally belonged to, but not everyone is willing to give him the answers he wants…

 

Apologies for the quality here, as I was in a bit of a rush.

#6 – Lawrence

| November 6, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Lawrence is a detective whose martial arts skills have greatly helped him in his fight against crime.  When he isn’t fighting crime, his breaks are spent hanging out with his best friends.

#5 – Drew Hawk

| November 5, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Drew Samantha Hawk is the daughter of a former businessman, and a former soccer player.  She wasn’t exactly amused with daily life, so she would always go out on her own personal adventures.  Her parents didn’t mind her “adventures”, but they felt extremely worried that something bad might happen to her…

 

…To their horror, Drew was attacked by a mad scientist who hoped to recruit members of her army.  Drew eventually chased the scientist down and exacted her revenge.

 

It doesn’t end there…  Drew eventually became insane to the point of chasing after specific targets and attacking them, then she started creating her own laser guns and building her own army of cyborgs, in hopes of being able to take over the entire world.

 

Because her parents are too scared to even go near her, only a hero of great courage can stop her now… Maybe someone like Sandy…

#4 – Victor

| November 4, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Victor, who used to be kind of a troublemaker, is a nomadic warrior who often gets himself into a lot of bizarre situations.

 

#3 – Sandy Ground

| November 3, 2011 | 0 Comments

 

Cassandra Beatrice “Sandy” Ground is the oldest daughter of a scientist and a former traveller.  The life that she had spent with her parents and her younger sister was very normal.  She and her sister would spent their time together watching TV and skateboarding.  Her father would sometimes create weapons designed primarily for the military for their fights for peace, while her mother would sometimes spend her time helping with the inventions.  One day, Sandy’s father promised to give her one of his inventions whenever he got the chance.

 

When Sandy turned 18, she stumbled upon his lab to find out that a wicked warrior had been trying to get his hands on her father’s technology.  He tried to ask the scientist to hand over the weapons for him and his army.  He refused, and was subsequently knocked unconscious, being unable to do anything as the mad man takes his weapons.  Fearing that the man will use his technology for evil,  Sandy’s father is left with little choice but to take her to a close friend of his, who would then give her the training she needs to become a commando.  She did manage to track down her father’s attacker, and brought him to justice.

 

Sandy, now 25, is a commando for hire, taking on the jobs to pursue dangerous criminals, mad scientists (and their insane inventions), and other threats that may be too dangerous for the average crime fighter.  While she keeps quiet as much as possible, she is a very sociable person, but she is not a loud mouth like one would suggest.  She carries around a laser rifle that her father created.
