Name: Richard "The Wartoad" Fontaine
Team: Royal Order, switches to Heroes in Season 4
Role: Major Antagonist/Occasiona Ally/Full Time Ally

"The Wartoad" was a member of the Royal Order Guard and as such a major antagonist to both the Renegade Skulls (criminals) and the Hero Teams (vigilantes), looking to bring them all in to face what he thought was "Justice". Despite not being the most skilled fighter, he proved to be far more difficult than the rest of the Guard to deal with due to his incredible resilience to damage and excellent accuracy with his "Toaster" (a blaster weapon named for its cartridges that were sort of bread slice shaped and which popped out like toast when ejected, also for its lethal setting).

By the end of the first season, Fontaine began to show doubts about just how important it was to take in the Renegade Skulls and the Heroes compared to the growing signs of corruption within the government and the quietly growing threat of the Legions. In Seasons 2 and 3, Fontaine began to team up with the Heroes more frequently to stop more important crimes. Initially taking all the credit for himself, when it became more apparent that there was something bigger, more rotten and far more dangerous going on behind closed doors and realizing the importance of the Heroes he began to make his reports more truthful to the press and the public even though he took heat from it from the higher ups.

Eventually in Season 4 he couldn't stand working within the Royal Order any more and quit, turning in his shield and his Toaster. Now a private investigator he was forced to use more of his detective skills and his fists over firepower, as well as working alongside both the Heroes and even occasionally the Renegade Skulls in order to exposure the corruption rotting his city from within.

Name: Venema
Team: Renegade Skulls
Role: Minor Reoccurring villain

Venema is a supporting mystic and a rare ork Slam Necrodancer, agile and brilliant. Necrodance is a way to call and command the spirits of the dead, and as everyone knows the dead just wanna dance -- as evidenced in the documentary musical "Thriller". Slam Necrodancing focuses on the weaponization of the art, because the harder you shake your rear end the harder your minions swing. Venema is also called upon when the Renegade Skulls need to collect intelligence as contrary to the popular saying, the dead do tell tales.

Due to the fact that animating Venema's dance moves is expensive (and more difficult to emulate in comics) she is an infrequently appearing character with much of her activity occurring 'behind the scenes'. Shortly after the episode where Mel comes out to her team (and while appreciative that they immediately accept her she is annoyed that they all already knew), she runs into Venema in a gay bar. Given the social situation they put aside their alliances and over a few drinks swap stories of how they came out, and we learn her story via flashback.

In her village she grew up afraid of her sexuality when she saw the bullying behaviour by her peers to a girl who merely displayed some queer traits. She had kept her sexuality restrained until the day when the Renegade Skulls crashed through their territory. She noticed that one of the Skulls was the openly lesbian gonna edit this later after someone rolls up an appropriate character and that's when she decided to join them. Bonding over similar upbringings, they try to see if there's any spark between them but there isn't and they just decide to be friends despite their opposing alliances.

I thought youse guys was a menace" and then I help them out by like knocking a wall down or something but only for that one episode because I'm too loyal to my friends and da boss

Name: Emma Darkly
Team: Wild Hero Catgirl Team
Role: Minor reoccurring support character

Emma Darkly is a Dremilin, a native people to the Wilds in which the grand city of the Royal Order was built. While technically a full citizen, in practical terms she is in a class significantly below the average human. Part of this is due to the fact that even though dremilins are on the whole less violent than the average citizen they have a frightening amount of very white teeth which can be seen even within the concealing darkness of their robes and if pressed can indeed masticate the hell out of you. Not helping is their pitch tentacle-like coils that drift and wind from the bottoms of their robes and they seem to have terribly unstable genetics to the point where upon maturation they can turn into anything from an ordinary-looking human to in extreme cases some sort of Lovecraftian nightmare.

The exposed parts of their bodies -- mostly just their arms and ears -- vary in a full spectrum of colours. Dremilins never reveal their faces until they reach maturity, and this is more than just a social taboo amongst their people -- exposing themselves prematurely will alter how they develop. (Basically they're like Pokémon Eevees)

As a loyal friend and ally to the Wild Hero Catgirl team, Emma is a caring and understanding young lady with an instinct akin to precognition and her low status allows her to discreetly gather information for the crew. She first shows up in Season Two as a fawning fangirl, getting into trouble due to her enthusiasm to help her idols in any way she can. By the end of the season it's clear that her infatuation goes beyond mere hero worship -- the Wild Hero Catgirl team is her sexual awakening. The catgirls gently dissuade her affections both because she is immature but also to prevent her from getting into more trouble to prove herself to them. She does her best to try to behave but as is for every teen -- hormones make life hell. For everyone.

Behind the scenes: All her seed generation pointed to the dumb tag-along kid character like Zack in the 80's TMNT, except her character arc was 'out of the closet'. Since I clearly had to do the tag-along audience-surrogate character I figured I'd go with the only one whose design I didn't hate: Orko. Also I figured enough people could relate to having a sexual awakening from cartoons given the stories I've heard online.

Name: Holly "Holipop" Poprustacean
Team: The Royal Order
Role: Minor Reoccurring character, becoming Major in Season 3

Holly began as a minor supporting character as a foil to Richard "The Wartoad" Fontaine, providing bright-eyed optimism to contrast his cynical nature. Where Fontaine would follow the letter of the law, she would bring up the spirit and original purpose of its creation, demonstrating that not only had she read the lawbooks but had the unusual ability to also provide the context to which the law was drafted. Originally her purpose was to provide both exposition and comic relief while also lending her considerable physical strength as required. The character grew in popularity and so in Season 3 her appearances became more regular, and she inadvertently played a critical role in Fontaine leaving the Order.

Too idealistic to leave, she remained in the Order in his place and managed to maintain a generally friendly relationship with both the Renegade Skulls, Heroes, and her fellow agents in the Royal Order. Unlike other sometimes antagonists, Holly never utilized her full strength until the threat of the Red Legion in Season 4 became dire and she was forced to show just how hard she could really hit.

Holly is armed with an incredibly tough utility shield and the ability to fire energy blasts from the base of her claw as well as launching one half of the pincer like a harpoon. She has a second pair of eyes in her forehead that can extend and provide auxiliary 360 degree vision, and some sort of input/output port in her chest. The series has yet to go into the details of her origin but it's been hinted she is some sort of experimental agent gone right as her abilities are described as 'biomechanical'.

Notes: Visually I mixed Scorpia with King from the King of Fighters and some crab bits. I really like how it turned out

Name: The Shield of the Abyss, inexplicably goes by "Sophy"
Team: Renegade Skulls
Role: Master Skull Gothekor's Sentient Weapon

The Shield of the Abyss is Master Skull Gothekor's sentient weapon of sorts. A cursed looking shield, it seems to know a great deal about the operations of the White Legion and the Royal Order and is capable of launching dark eldritch orbs (similar to DJ Supremia) as well as blocking incoming fire with ease. When it speaks, it inexplicably refers to itself as "Sophy" and everyone else with some sort of biting insult.

In Season 3, Master Gothekor encounter Holly and when the shield insults her she gives it a lecture on hurtful words with the strange result of it seeming to actually work. After the encounter, the shield is less biting, less sarcastic and more genuinely supportive of Master Skull and the Skulls.

In Season 4 when the threats from the Red Legion become dire, the shield begins to share some of its arcane knowledge with even the temporary allies of the Heroes and the Order, most notably with Fontaine and Holly.

When not in use, the Shield usually hangs around Gothekor's throne but is known to occasionally float off and do things on its own.

Just a note for everyone but if I haven't gotten to you yet you're better off editing the old post than adding a new one. I go in order from the earliest post onwards and often will forget to check for any updated notes. Today will probably have a slower output because I'm going to be organizing my notes a bit. Several characters are only vaguely related to usernames (or I've rearranged them, such as from Holy Poopacy -> Holly Poprustacean) and I don't want to lose track of who's already had a character vs. Who's Next, because I'm a huge nerd who likes to organize data too.

I'm also planning on using some of today to write up the world as it currently stands because a few people seem to be interested in it. Will post it to my website which seriously needs to be updated anyway. (It was supposed to be a portfolio of skill demonstration but I tend to be more focused in creation than documentation.)

Also I might post my seed generator there if anyone's interested in seeing behind the scenes and thought processes on the character creation.
