HERO

lgordon@rochester.rr.com (Gordon Simmons)

His name is Hero. We don't know too much about him, and he doesn't talk much. Even with his friends, he’s distant. Cold. He's a mysterious character, and always gravitates toward the shadow. But he's always on the side of right.

To his friends and those in need, he's a loyal protector. To his enemies ... well, let's just say that even in the Nocs world he'd seem a little weird. Where Superman's "weakness" is that he will never kill a foe, Hero's might be that he can't let one live.

Hero carries no weapon, and if he has a trademark, it’s his ability to turn the tables on his counterpart. It might be a lot of fun to continually dream up ways hero might steal his enemy’s weapon to use against them.

Strangely enough, Hero will often walk away from a battle, if he can; that is, if he understands that the victory will only be fleeting or inconsequential.  He’s not out for blood necessarily-until he decides that the fight is worth it.

Lastly, and we might never know this, but he might have some very loose and nebulous connection to Polychrome’s murder???

PROPHECY

tdeetdum@oz.net (Marcia)

Prophecy is the professional name of an itinerant Oracle. For a price, she'll tell you who your biggest enemy is. For amusement, she might tell you one of the possible ways in which you'll die; the job of playing Palm Reader to local headmen's wives can get severely boring (though it's amazing that when you tell the mayor's daughter she's going to marry a rich man, they shower you with money, but when you tell them something they can actually use--like don't double-cross that guy, he's got a gun--they stone you in the street.

For the job, she wears the expected long robe and carries tools that pack easily, like throwing bones and cards. Under the robes, she has a weakness for tight leather and anime t-shirts. She has an affinity for birds, most strongly with those able to travel back and forth between the realms of the living and the dead (sparrows, loons, owls) but she connects with just about any winged creature. They make excellent air defense, better scouts and fine non-judgemental companions.

BRUMHILDEY

yetitronic@earthlink.net (R. David Clark)

Disenchanted daughter of one of Doc Horror's associates on Black Planet. Managed to steal an amulet, open a door to Earth. Wants to create a giant insect army. Delusions of grandeur. Rides around on a giant beetle. Good nemesis for Eve. Wears fancy pink party dress, covered with green saltwater taffy. ( Melted, stuck to the trim.) Dirty face and hands, wears a candy crown. Carries a rock-candy wand, has a heart on her cheek. Problem is, in all her 17 years, she's never fallen asleep. She's addicted to sugar, looks disheveled and sour. Eve's got her work cut out for her!

Rockin' Billy

AardvarkSK@aol.com (FJ Sutton)

Hot roddin', hell-raisin' hot-shot Rockin' Billy lost a race with the devil..literally! He raced a demon in the quarter mile: the demon put up his pink slip to his "Hell On Wheels" against "whatever he wanted". Billy not only lost the race, he lost his face. Now Billy spends his nights (since he is just a skull with a pompadour) cruising Pacific City's graveyard, bars, bowling alleys, racetracks tattoo parlors and other ghoulish hangouts looking for the demon and looking for revenge! He carries around a bowling ball bag filled with all sorts of good stuff to take this demon down and take the demon's "Hell On Wheels".
