Main Characters

John Stone

The leader of The Reliables and handpicked by the Council on Metaverse Prime, John Stone is a cyborg upgraded with some of the finest quality metaverse tech available. An unfortunate accident earlier in his career ended up with his kid brother firmly embedded in his head as a pseudo-AI. An ex-SWAT member, the cyborg enhancements only augmented all the skills he had beforehand.

Avatars

Larry Walker
The tallest kid in class, Larry is the only one of the Monster Hunters that can walk around freely without worrying about that no-good bully Chet. While Larry is a laid-back kid - and kinda silly on occasion - he will absolutely defend any of his friends against anything that might come their way. He's also good at helping his friends out, from moving things so Gabe can get at them to keeping Glynn on task when the attention deficit in their brain tries to seek serotonin elsewhere.
Andy 117
An android designed specifically for driving vehicles and shooting guns, Andy was originally created as a search-and-rescue android but the war with Ming expanded his role. Given to sarcasm so intense it might well be mistaken for sincerity, And completes his missions in the most efficient way possible. On a definitely unrelated note, as an android he has access to all databases Flash's team have set up or tapped into.
Michael "Mickey" Mancuso
Son of Carmine Mancuso and heir to the criminal empire in the underbelly of New Chicangeles, Mickey didn't really go in for all that gangster stuff. He spent his days with fast women in faster cars, and the nights partying it up with the leading lights - well, the fun ones anyway - of New Chicangeles. His father groomed him to take over but when the time came, Mickey decided to come clean instead and turn State's evidence. John Stone and Jonomox manage to safely get him to the federal building before any one of a wide variety of criminal thugs could kill him for being a snitch.
The Skull
Professional assassin and wearer of Care Bear jammies, The Skull's first inclination is to talk first and shoot later. Or at least, to wax very philosophical about all the killing he's doing while he does it. Not the first guy called for a job, he is definitely enough of a professional to see that the job gets done. As a hard professional line, he never kills kids.
Sammy "The Bulldog" Corleybone
Heir of the Corleybone Family, Sammy is the second biggest player in New York after his father. Short-tempered and very territorial, Sammy often picks fights with the other Families over even the slightest offenses. He relies on the coterie of cooler minds he has assembled for himself to make sure that he doesn't get off the leash, and his top priority is always Family.

Vector Raynes

He of the multifarious sartorial splendors, Vector Raynes is not just some vain peacock. Ex-special forces, Vector made a name for himself in his home metaverse by going on adventures with his own crew of handpicked misfits. His right-hand man Sergio, the cook Sir Edmund "Hotpot" Lagrosse, Johnny Two Layer, Mobius: The Blind Man, and another handful of others; together, he and his crew would scour the known galaxy for ne'er-do-wells and business opportunities alike, and with the help of some surprisingly sturdy camera drones Vector built a media empire of movies, TV series, and merchandising deals.

That all went away when he was kidnapped. Taken forcibly across metaversal lines and forced to fight in the gladiatorial pits of Collyseum, by the time Vector was freed his metaverse had collapsed in on itself. Going to the colony of Hope, where all the other rescuees from the pits who had no home to go back to were sent after being freed, Vector found what could possibly be a new purchase on life when the Council asked for volunteers. Never one to back away from a challenge, Vector got on the Reliance and hasn't looked back since.

Avatars

Robert Franklin Smith, The Bull Of Boston (Metaverse: 01776)
As tall as a horse and as wide as two men, Robert Franklin Smith is not a man to be trifled with. Before the war of American Independence he was a blacksmith, shoeing even the most recalcitrant horses with ease; now he is a member of the Legion of Liberty, fighting to keep the British from retaking the colonies. Even one of his punches would be enough to fell an ox, and Robert's unique ability to enhance his own innate prowess means that he can shotput cannonballs with ease.
Chuck Kinney
The daredevil of the Monster Hunters Club, Chuck's been to the hospital nine times already in his short life, and he holds that fact like a badge of honor. While not the strongest person in the club, Chuck is absolutely the first one into danger every time. Fortunately, he's also usually the first one out of it; he is the best runner of the group, having once managed to outpace his own bicycle down a hill when Chet had stolen it.
Rick Thompson
Second string quarterback and perpetual benchwarmer, Rick will assure you that he is one of Flash Gordon's closest friends. The only average human in the group he travels with, Rick is made of 95% trash talk, 4% football skills, and 1% self preservation.
Neon Knight
Master of neon light manipulation, Neon Knight wields a laser sword and rocks some cool neon goggles. A long-standing member of the Justice Force, Neon's archnemesis is Barto the Blind - a master of shadow manipulation. The two have clashed so often they have their own twitter tag.
Sam "Scruffy" McSween
A mutt of no particular breeding, Sam is the dogsbody for most of the Corleybone Family. While he dreams of the big times, of fast cars and pedigree courtesans, he makes enough to simply get by. Desperate for attention, may just find his chance in the chaos that has engulfed the Corleybone Family.
Wrench
A rabbitperson, or possibly some kind of harefolk, Wrench is what passes as the brains of his little outfit. His skill with machines is unparalleled; if it's broke, he can fix it. He can even fix machinery from The Time Before, that mythical era pre-apocalypse when furries didn't rule the Earth. He can also operate just about any vehicle he can get his paws on - for the best as one of his main roles in the team is getaway driver, especially if they've been listening to Bandit again.

Ranger Rhonda

Ranger Rhonda Riddenhauer is a bubbly, happy-go-lucky human wrecking ball. Growing up on a farm with seven siblings, Rhonda was always the smallest but never the weakest. After several incidents, her family was absolutely overjoyed when the Rangers made her an offer to go and work for them instead of staying on the farm. Never one to let a chance to help those in need pass her by, Rhonda agreed and went happily into training. Despite at least one less-than-innocuous bout of teasing that resulted in Rhonda earning the first-ever-awarded Best Human Shield merit badge, she graduated from training and set about doing her diligent best to serve those in need in her galaxy.

Good things rarely last, and Rhonda's great strength attracted the wrong kind of attention; slavers from Collyseum came calling and didn't take no for an answer. Still, once she was freed of that place, her natural ebullience undimmed by the horrors she'd witnessed, Rhonda was first in line to volunteer for the Council's new mission: make the Metaverse better so it wouldn't need saving.

Prudence Cafferty, The Appalachian Animal (Metaverse: 01776)
Prudence is a fierce individualist, and prefers to live a solitary lifestyle out in the woods to any sort of city life. Alas, her aspirations of going years without seeing another person were thwarted when the British began the war to reclaim the colonies for themselves. With her aptitude for hunting and tracking and an uncanny ability to recover nearly instantly from any wound, Prudence ended up joining the Legion of Liberty when it became clear that the war was not going to leave her alone. Now she fights for the right not to be bothered in her chosen home, and many a British soldier has lost their life to her axe.
Corporal Sandy
A veteran of many years - most of them spent serving with Sergeant Greenville - Corporal Sandy is the lone voice of reason on the team. Her skill with a vehicle is only matched by her skill with a gun, and her willingness to do what needs to be done to see a mission through is one of the top reasons she was chosen to go to Mars with the team.
Coyote McCloud
A no-good outlaw and scourge of the West, Coyote made a name for herself by leading a band of cutthroats and sinners on wild hijinks across the great American Southwest, robbing trains, stagecoaches, banks, and whatever other crazy schemes she could could up with. It all fell apart one day in Arizona, however, and most of her gang ended up dead. She decided to gather the remaining members together for one last score when she got a tip she couldn't pass up.

Princess Hedgehog

Though not terribly close to the throne, Princess Hedgehog was still of the royal house in their home metaverse. This granted a certain amount of popularity that was only enhanced by their abilities with magic and willingness to demonstrate it for all and sundry. The myconoid nature of goblins in that metaverse meant that their fans were uncountable legion.

However, the slavers of Collyseum only cared for their power and Princess Hedgehog was made to give a very different kind of performance to a very different kind of crowd. By the time Collyseum had been destroyed, there were no more myconoid goblins left and Princess Hedgehog went to the colony of Hope to find a new start. When the Council put out word that they were looking for volunteers for a very different kind of mission, Princess Hedgehog could not resist the possibility of once more being the center of attention and joined up. So far, reality has sadly lagged behind expectation.

Avatars

Margaret Mae, The Emerald Flame (Metaverse: 01776)
Born in Ireland, Margaret Mae immigrated to the American colonies when the English rule of Ireland proved too oppressive to bear. Now she fights alongside the other members of the Legion of Liberty to kick Britain to the curb. Her Irish heritage is strong in her hair, her temper - and her powers. Wielder of emerald-green elemental flames, Margaret Mae is the terror of the battlefield - largely because the best guns of the time are still black powder weapons, and Mae knows exactly what to do with those.
Glynn Ordoham
Best of friends with Gabe, Glynn came with him happily when Chuck formed the Monster Hunters club. While most people found Glynn odd and frustrating, the Monster Hunters gladly accepted them into the fold. Despite ongoing problems with unhandled ADHD, Glynn blossomed in the company of their peers and has had the best summer of their life in the Club.
Leftenant Thorn
Hailing from the burning remains of London, Leftenant Thorn is a consummate survivalist in a profession where dying is easy. Her specialties are largely in espionage, and while this is her first time working with this particular team, it's not her first time destroying a tightly secured Nazi base. Unlike her compatriots, she firmly believes that she will make it back from this one-way mission to Mars. And, given her impressive credentials, she may very well be right.
Shay-Lin
One of those fearsome warriors known as Hawkmen - and mad as fire about that designation - Shay-lin is one of the foremost fighters in the galaxy. There's not a gun she can't shoot or an idiot she's unwilling to punch. Her light gold-brown wings can have across the battlefield in less time than it takes to blink, and her retribution is even faster.
Shane Masters
Master of innumerable forms of martial arts, Shane Masters has yet to meet a hostile they couldn't punch to death with their own two fists. Fiercer than any wolverine, theirs is a hair-trigger temper and a remarkably thin skin. Secretly, however, they dream of a quiet life in the shade of an enormous windmill - one that, once upon a time, they thought they shared with another member of Coyote's gang.
Skippy
Professional sidekick, Skippy found crime for years at the side of her superhero mentor - up until said mentor was brutally murdered in front of her. Putting on a brave face is par for the course, and Skippy still fights the good fight. Inside, however, is a very different story.
Furball
Feline martial artist and certainly not the brains of the operation, Furball is a master of acting like a cat. Especially, in a most catlike fashion, when it is least convenient. Jumping from heights and landing on her feet, pawing at doors to get it, knocking things - like bandits - over with a single swipe of her paws, Furball has it all covered. Just don't ask her was two plus two is.
Katherine Ross
A plucky young reporter, Katherine made her name when she helped Special Agent Martin Shaw of the FBI catch a dangerous serial killer. Adventurous, impetuous, and always on the lookout for the next story, Katherine has a nose for trouble and a yen to pursue it. Whether or not she'll live through the experience remains to be seen.

Jonomox

A thief, a liar, and a criminal, Jonomox was not on the colony of Hope when the Council put out their call for volunteers. Instead, this wily criminal was already in the custody of John Stone.

A shapeshifter and the last of the Transmetarrians, Jonomox is not averse to violence but hates genocide with a passion. His personal struggles with his powers aside, he actively steals anything not nailed down and is just waiting for the day he can be rid of the explosive nanites that keep him from simply going on his merry way. Or possibily just waiting to install a chicken dance subroutine into John Stone's central processor.

Jean-Pierre Dubois (Metaverse: 01776)
Self-professed French spy, Jean-Pierre joined the Legion of Liberty early in the war. While there are no concrete records of Jean-Pierre having powers, he can in fact make multiple copies of himself (how many depends on how drunk he is). Each copy is perfect in every detail, and whichever one is the last man standing becomes the real Jean-Pierre. While his powers are not widely known, his propensity for fine wines and finer food is commonly remarked upon in the Legion - as is his ability to somehow scrounge both when it's impossible to find any nearby.
Sergeant Greenville, "Sarge"
Strong of back and thick of head, Sarge has spent most of his life actively resisting the oppressive Nazi regime. Where a vast number of his compatriots have fallen in service to the cause, Sarge has survived on a certain amount of cunning, a stubborn obliviousness to social cues, and a complete refusal to die. Where the rest of his teammates on the current mission either refuse to believe or simply don't care that their mission to Mars was supposed to be one-way, Sarge actively looks forward to having 20,000 Nazis trapped on a planet where they can't get away from him.
Carrick
Sharing a species with Ming the Merciless does not automatically confer a similar mindset, and Carrick is a shining example. While his mind powers let him resolve some situations peacefully, he prefers to avoid getting his hands dirty and will run from a fight before it gets ugly.
Beaumont Morningstar
One of the very few of Coyote's gang who made it out of Arizona, Beaumont Morningstar had fallen upon somewhat hard times when Coyote reached out to him. Hard for other people, anyway; when a posse caught up to him in Nevada and were about to string him up, Beaumont gave the Devil a handshake. Left with only a partially functional right arm and an unfortunate tendency to let the bloodthirsty demon out of his soul, Beaumont's existence is a health and safety violation for anyone he comes in contact with. Still, when the time came and he faced the noose, he couldn't let go of the fact that he'd been too much of a coward to tell the center of his universe that he loved them. He made his deal, and will have to live with the consequences.
Russ O'Bannon
Assigned by Carmine to be Mickey's bodyguard, Russ is also the kid's best friend. Unfortunately, he is also an undercover cop and has been conducting an undercover op for the past year. His job was to try and get some of the Mancuso secrets out of Mickey; now that Mickey's decided to turn State's Evidence, he's also his only hope for getting to the Federal building alive. Fortunately, Russ is one of those cops whose back up plans have back up plans, and he manages to not only get Mickey to the Feds safely, but just possibly also make a friend for life.
Sam Tex
A two-bit bank robber from Conneticut, Sam Tex wears a cowboy outfit and flies around on a rocket-powered hobby horse. While his power is to create explosives of all sizes and shapes, Sam Tex is also a pretty decent machinist. His skills at engineering are as solid as his Southern drawl is phony. If it weren't for his stubborn insistence on being a supervillain, he would probably have been a pretty decent hardware engineer in the field or rocketry or the like. As it stands, his stubborn insistence on being a supervillain is also what saved him from being vaporized in the opening salvos of the alien invasion, so he may have a point.
Pete "Lockjaw" Lowe
Right-paw dog to Sammy Corleybones Pete isn't the kind of dog you cross lightly. Reputed to once have bitten another inmate to death in prison, Pete became known far and wide as "Lockjaw" - though never to his face, unless you particularly wanted to die. He's not fond of the nickname, and will loudly deny that he ever bit anybody when asked.
Squint
Extremely paranoid - almost to the point of a conspiracy theorist - Squint is terrified of birds, definitely not a bearded lizard, probably some kind of squirrel, and one of Nature's survivalists. He favors a long gun, and his face is stuck in a permanent squint from looking down the barrel all the time. He apparently didn't have anyone to tell him that if he kept his face that way long enough, it would stick that way.
"Dr. Einhardt"
Introduced as a doctor, this man only brings death. Part of an elite unit, he seeks Nazis wherever they hid after the war and lets the punishment fit the crime. Extremely good at undercover work, "Dr. Einhardt" is also a master of hand-to-hand combat.

Paul

The last of a race of sentient silicates, Paul is 8 feet of solid rock with an interest in all things scientific. Given that their species has no natural endpoint for their lifespan, this has meant that Paul has done a great deal of studying.

When introduced to the idea that there was more than just their own metaverse, they set about studying all the new fields of science that that possibility opened before them. More a pacifist than a fighter, their curiosity is insatiable and is a large part of why they answered when the Council called for volunteers. Their current pet project is trying to find the principles behind Princess Hedgehog's magic. So far, they have had no quantifiable successes in that regard.

Gabe Jennings
A skinny kid with glasses, Gabe is the quintessential target for the town bully. While his parents don't always understand his interests, they did provide him with the tree fort that the Monster Hunters club uses as their base of operations. Set in an imposing cottonwood tree, the tree fort is the only of it's kind in the neighborhood that has an extension cord running out to it. Gabe loves to disassemble electronics and other equipment to find out how things work. The tree house is full of the relics of his past projects - little bits of wire, pieces of metal, burned out cathode tubes and lights - because his parents found that the best way to keep him from disassembling their nice stuff was to give him already-broken objects to work with.
Doktor Archibald Creed
As utterly amoral as he is scientifically brilliant, Dr. Creed rose fast in the ranks of the Nazi science division. The foremost expert in Martian technology, Dr. Creed spent years studying and researching new find after new find under the auspices of the Nazi regime. As meteoric as his rise to prominence was, his fall from grace was equally as swift. His opinions on a possibly occult source for Martian power made him a laughingstock of the scientific community and saw him ejected from the Nazi party in disgrace. Joining the underground resistance to the Nazis was simply a means to an end; Dr. Creed cares very little about who is in charge, only in unraveling the secrets of the Martians.
Doc Vandall
Doc Vandall is nearly seven feet of dangerously unbalanced genius in the body of a linebacker. Addicted to ghost rock in any way that he can get it, Doc Vandall has a deft hand with chemicals of all kinds and can make a ghost rock cocktail guaranteed to wake the dead (or your money back) or several pounds of semtex with equal aplomb. A survivor of the Arizona debacle, Doc is convinced to his core that one of their gang had snitched on them to the police. While he hasn't shot anyone for that yet, it's only a matter of time.
Hugh Magnus
A lab experiment gone sideways, Hugh isn't the sharpest penny in the pot. Fortunately, being somewhere in the neighborhood of ten feet tall and nearly invulnerable means that he doesn't really have to be, most of the time. His supervillain career has mostly consisted of people calling the superheros on him for being in places they thought he shouldn't go, or him making a mistake that resulted in serious property damage. Not a bad guy, all things told - just a trifle dim.
Harold Hoyle
Best friend and adoptive brother of Sammy the Bull, Harold is a hawk in a pack of dogs. The Corleybones Family's most trusted lawyer, Harold spends his days helping keep Sammy out of the kind of trouble nobody needs. While he's got a mind as sharp as a knife that's twice as likely to cut you, he is also one of the most observant members of the Corleybones Family. His sharp eyes often let him see incoming trouble well before anyone else.
Agent Martin Shaw, F.B.I.
New to the Bureau, Martin Shaw made his mark by using the unorthodox assistance of Katherine Ross to catch a dangerous serial killer. While still a bit wet behind the ears, Shaw is already hopelessly addicted to caffeine and is never seen without a mug of coffee in his hand. He's a cool head under fire, and is quicker to negotiate than shoot.

Occasional PCs

Guybert Whiteman / Jahnrytta

Guybert Whiteman is an earth man from Prime, brought to Hope Colony along with several hundred other basic personnel to staff and facilitate operations and functions within the colony. Guy is an experienced forklift operator, maintenance technician, and janitorial worker. In a freak accident in one of the labs on Hope, he was injured and became bonded to the symbiote entity Jahnrytta. Jahnrytta had been kept on ARENA in stasis for study by allies of AB. After the liberation, he was brought to Hope until they could figure out what he was and what to do with him.

Jahnrytta is the last member of a species called the Praxis, once the Masters of the Transmetarrians until the Transmetarrians freed themselves. The two species have a lasting enmity as a result, which could cause tensions on the team between Guy and Jonomox. Jahnryta is somewhat exasperated with Guy's continued obtuse view of their relationship. They're supposed to work together to bring justice to the galaxies, and Guy is still running from what he calls a demon.

Macrover
Super intelligent and gifted with more superpowers than you can shake a stick at, Macrover is always ready to fight evil wherever it shows its face. A member in good standing with the Justice Force, Macrover is probably one of the tenacious teammates and most loyal members of said society. He's also a Scottish Terrier who weighs twelve pounds soaking wet. But he will absolutely find any excuse to take a bite out of crime. Ruff!

Something To Rely On

Episode 1: Something To Rely On

THE RELIABLES are a team of superheroes on a mission to save the universe. Meet the team! The team leader – appointed by the Council – is the cyborg John Stone. A gun-slinging space pirate, a magic goblin princess, a felonious shape-changer, a disgraced Space Ranger, and a hyper-intelligent rock make up his motley crew. Newly-assembled and on their first mission, they must save two crucial scientists in 1930s Germany from a Martian Invasion…

GM: James Durham; Players: Shawn Franklin, Bryce Bebop, Eleise Moore, Helen Roundhill, Xander Layden, Christian Doyle

Unscheduled Departure

Episode 2: Unscheduled Departure

John Stone takes Jonomox, Vector Raynes, and Ranger Rhonda on a mission to a previously undiscovered island. The island is home to a myriad of deadly creatures, and has an odd effect on the soldiers sent to secure it. At the heart of the island is a volcano that holds a valuable secret – one that could destroy the world.

While the cat is away, the fox will play. Pierce has some unusual news when the team gets back to the Reliance. Now every mission is a race against the clock, and the question on everyone’s mind is – what will happen to them now? Find out on The Reliables!

GM: James Durham; Players: Shawn Franklin, Bryce Bebop, Eleise Moore, Christian Doyle

Makeshift Modifications

Episode 3: Makeshift Modifications

John Stone and Ranger Rhonda are back on the Reliance trying to effect repairs. Which means it’s Vector Raynes’ time to shine as he leads a small team into the bowels of an ancient space station. With Jonomox, Princess Hedgehog, and the inimitable Paul at his back, what could possibly go wrong?

The answer to that question starts with soup. And a grenade.

GM: James Durham; Players: Bryce Bebop, Helen Roundhill, Christian Doyle, Xander Layden

Matter & Energy

Episode 4: Matter & Energy

John Stone takes Rhonda, Princess Hedgehog, and Paul out to try and find replacement parts for the badly damaged Reliance. They expect to find things from the 1900s. What do they find instead? Trouble.

GM: James Durham; Players: Shawn Franklin, Eleise Moore, Helen Roundhill, Xander Layden

Hot Pursuit

Episode 5: Hot Pursuit

Chased across dimensions by beings wholly comprised of energy, the team aboard the Reliance rallies themselves for a boarding party. Or try to. There is not a charcuterie board and the team is decidedly unprepared for the reaction that provokes. Jonomox, despite not being liquid, saves the day. Vector Raynes rides a sandworm. And, in the end, Paul repairs the Reliance enough to jump.

GM: James Durham; Players: Bryce Bebop, Xander Layden, Helen Roundhill, Christian Doyle

Destinations Unknown

Episode 6: Destinations Unknown

Repair is a strong word when it comes to the Reliance. First the team ends up in a world filled with zombies. After fighting the zombies off, the Reliance jumps 20,000 leagues under the sea. Next is space. Then it’s a Civil War battlefield. After that comes a meadow filled with pretty flowers and killer robots. Can the team ever catch a break?

GM: James Durham; Players: Shawn Franklin, Xander Layden, Eleise Moore, Christian Doyle

Stowaways

Episode 7: Stowaways

Captured by the Galvanic Collective, the majority of the team are imprisoned. All except for the intrepid JONOMOX, the only member to slip away. Now the shapeshifting thief has to free his teammates before it’s too late. And if he happens to find some very shiny objects along the way, well. There’s no one around to tell him no.

GM: James Durham; Players: Shawn Franklin, Bryce Bebop, Xander Layden, Christian Doyle

So, You Want A Revolution pt 1

Episode 8: So, You Want A Revolution pt 1

Vector Raynes takes Jonomox, Princess Hedgehog, and Ranger Rhonda to the American Revolution. In an attempt at subtlety, the team goes into super-powered AVATARS to find out what the Galvanic Collective has planned. The AVATARS themselves are revolutionaries and spies alike, all dedicated to throwing off the British yoke. Just what is the Galvanic Collective’s interest in this metaverse, number 01776? Watch and find out!

GM: James Durham; Players: Bryce Bebop, Eleise Moore, Christian Doyle, Helen Roundhill

So, You Want A Revolution pt 2

Episode 9: So, You Want A Revolution pt 2

After rescuing General George Washington from the British in Boston, the team takes him back to John Adams. Adams charges them to go and get the shapeshifter that had taken the General’s place. After a short chase, they question the shapeshifter. The miscreant, as it turns out, has nothing to do with the British – instead, the Galvanic Collective seem bent on prolonging the war. Still, their interrogation is not fruitless and they emerge with news of an imminent attack on the Continental Congress. And, to make things even more interesting, they have to repel a British attack on New York along their way.

GM: James Durham; Players: Bryce Bebop, Eleise Moore, Christian Doyle, Helen Roundhill

So, You Want A Revolution pt 3

Episode 10: So, You Want A Revolution pt 3

In this thrilling season finale, the team heads to Philadelphia to save the entire Continental Congress. Upon their arrival, they find the Congress already under siege. Hessian soldiers and British grenadiers are trying to breach the building, and our team immediately jumps into the fray. As each attacker they kill falls, the team sees another Galvan released into the atmosphere. Clearly this is no British-sanctioned attack. Jonomox finally manages to flex his shapeshifting muscles and forms a mega John Hancock. All seems lost when British heavies enter the field, but an unexpected rap battle send them on their way. Emerging from the Epic Rap Battle of History victorious, our team meets their avatars briefly as they pick up Reese in the Reliance.

GM: James Durham; Players: Bryce Bebop, Eleise Moore, Christian Doyle, Helen Roundhill

Season Two Episode List

The Curse of Red Belly's Gold, pt 1 of 3

Episode 1: The Curse of Red Belly's Gold, pt 1 of 3

It’s the start of a new season, and our heroes (?) waste no time in diving right on in. While Vector lead the away team for 01776, John Stone and Paul were working on a way to track the Galvanic Collective’s movements. It doesn’t take long for their sensors to register another incursion, so John Stone, Paul, Vector Raynes, and Princess Hedgehog head off to stop whatever nefarious plans are brewing.

Hopping into the metapods is the work of a moment, and the team finds themselves in the golden July of 1985. It’s a small, wholesome town and school’s out for summer; neighbors discuss baseball over their picket fences, and the most any kid has to worry about are the neighborhood bullies. The team’s avatars are the Monster Hunters Club, four kids with four bikes, a treehouse, and a taste for adventure.

The town is a little on edge when the pilots arrive, however; a murder at the pier has closed the whole place down. People are disappearing without a trace, and dark things lurk in hidden corners. It’s up to the team to solves the mystery – without getting grounded. And maybe, just maybe, find some hidden pirate gold along the way.

Episode 3: The Curse of Red Belly's Gold, pt 3 of 3

The team races towards the spot marked on the treasure map. They avoid all the pawns of the Galvanic Collective on the way through some very sneaky sneaking. At the spot, they find an entrance to a cave. Inside the cave, they find a sad, cursed pirate who bears a warning. Heedless of the danger, the team presses on - with the only casualty being Gabe's knuckles. Paul completely forgot they were not physically present and punched a wall. Fighting their way through skeletons, the team grabs the gold. Riding a wave out into the bay, the team breaks the curse by reuniting the gold with the wreck of Red Belly's ship. Strangely, the Galvanic Collective is no longer interested in the gold after the curse is broken. What are they really up to?

Truth and Consequences pt 1 of 2

Episode 4: Truth and Consequences, Part One

The race to stop the Galvanic Collective continues as the team heads back to a somewhat familiar metaverse - one now irrevocably altered by the team's very actions. Paul, Jonomox, Princess Hedgehog, and Ranger Rhonda all find themselves in the bodies of a team of underground freedom fighters waging a desperate war against the oppressive Nazi regime. The end of a one-way trip finds them on Mars in a Nazi technology mine, and they don't take long in blowing the mine to get out safely. A short jaunt up to the mine's security office nets them the location of the facility they were sent to destroy. Of the Galvanic Collective, there is yet no sign. What are they up to? What's really happening on Mars? And is Corporal Sandy actually interested in knowing Sarge even better? Find out!

Flash Gordon pt 2

Episode 7: Flash Gordon pt 2

Following the Galvanic Collective as it transports crystals made of True Magic, our team finds the motherlode. A ship, but one far larger than any other Collective ship they have yet encountered. Sneaking onboard, they find a room filled with strange, giant orbs full of golden energy. Jonomox becomes Jonomite as a fight breaks out, and rigs the engines to detonate. Our team escapes right before the ship explodes, but the Collective on board was not so lucky. This metaverse is saved, our team is suddenly on the Collective’s priority list, and Flash Gordon arrives just in time to take all the credit.

Their attacker’s single-minded focus can only mean one thing – the Galvanic Collective. When the mothership begins to descend to take the train, Coyote McCloud and Ranger Rhonda stand up and say no.

Season Three Episode List

Checkmark

Episode 1: Checkmark

With all their mishaps and misadventures, it was inevitable that they would need review. Under the auspices of Thomas Wells, the team goes to retrieve a piece of the Titan Force from a metaverse it was never meant to be in. Sent as themselves, without avatars, they have to blend into Victorian, England – a challenge at the best of times. Princess Hedgehog flies and Vector Raynes gives a kid a knife. Paul does several Kool-Aid man impressions, leaving rather large holes in several walls. Jonomox, on the other hand, does the best he can to pull the mission off successfully. With the directive of “low profile” left thoroughly in the dust, what grade does Thomas give the team? Find out!

First Rodeo

Episode 2: First Rodeo

After a somewhat abysmal performance, Thomas recommends Rosie as a second evaluator. With the aid of TOM, Rosie coaches them through several scenarios. Their first test is a Battle of the Bands on Planet Thunderdome. With Paul rocking out as lead singer, the others bring their A-game to the performance. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Battle of the Bands without a real battle, and the KISS Boy Army is defeated. After that, TOM switches to a hostage scenario – one the Masters themselves failed. Working together, the team saves all the hostages.

Half-A-Tar Shuffle

Episode 3: Half-A-Tar Shuffle

The team did very well in their evaluations, according to Rosie, but a big problem has finally been acknowledged by the higher-ups: Nobody on the Reliance can pilot the Reliance. The person who was originally supposed to pilot the Reliance - Pierce - jumped ship early into the team's tenure, and they have no way to make it work without him. While there are no good solutions, the Masters of the Metaverse have provided actionable intelligence about a person who might know where Pierce ended up. The team heads to a metaverse without proper avatars for them and end up in highly uncomfortable and unbondable half-a-tars - the fit for the pilots is...tight. Nevertheless, the team works to find the metaversal criminal and ex-pilot who might know where Pierce is - a man named Jimmy. When they finally find him, the only thing he can tell them is that years ago Pierce set up a hideaway; a metaverse only accessible from a backpack stored within another metaverse.

GM: James Durham; Players: Bryce Bebop, Helen Roundhill, Xander Layden, Christian Doyle

The New Guy

Episode 4: The New Guy

Whether or not Jimmy gave them good info or a load of bull, the situation is critical; the Reliance has been caught by the gravity well of a star and is slowly falling to the doom of the whole crew. Jonomox, John Stone, and Paul begin working frantically to keep the Reliance from a death spiral. Fortunately, their situation is not without hope; the timely arrival of Crash Jaxun, T.O.M., and Guy give the team a few hours of reprieve. Long enough, hopefully, to find Pierce and get a more permanent resolution to the problem. While Crash helps the other three in maintaining orbit around the star, Vector Raynes, Princess Hedgehog, T.O.M., and the newly-arrived Guy all get into the metapods and travel to the metaverse that contains the portal to Pierce's private 'verse. One long, protracted fight, a fair amount of time in a stolen spaceship, and a close encounter with a biting backpack later, the away team finds themselves in the world Pierce hid away. Of course, the fact that they're present without their avatars - and the nearly-naked women riding dinosaurs and threatening to jab them with spears - means quite possibly that they have gone from the frying pan straight into the ifre. Shame T.O.M. cannot enter the 'verse with them - after all, he's here to serve.

What's In The Bag?

Episode 5: What's In The Bag?

Pulled into the world contained within the backpack, Vector, Guy, and Hedgehog find themselves suddenly present in their bodies and their avatars mysteriously vanished. Their immediate capture by the dinosaur-riding women does nothing to lessen the shock, and in fact brings Jahnrytta to the front. Several failed attempts at escape later see the team being carried to the presence of the king. While the women who captured them insist on using all of the king's many titles, the team are somewhat surprised to find that the king is none other than Pierce - the very man they were sent to find. While Pierce is understandably reluctant to leave, the fact that T.O.M. has taken the backpack aboard the Reliance and into mortal peril convinces him to at least leave for now. Lord Dredd and his Dredd Naughts attack the village without warning, and while the team beats them back Pierce explains they need Dredd's sword to leave. The team sets out for Dredd's floating fortress on the back of a large pink dinosaur named Lady, and land at the front door. The battle against the minions of Dredd goes easily, but the episode ends with something going terribly, terribly wrong.

Out Of The Bag

Episode 6: Out of the Bag

A quick jaunt through the fortress at the heart of the bag reveals some startling truths about Pierce, the bag, and reality as a whole. Unfortunately, someone is still out gunning for Pierce and to get him safely back to the Reliance is no easy task. In the end, they are left with a course-corrected Reliance and one extremely suspicious dead body. They left Guy in the bag because the bag needed a Protagonist, or it wouldn't function.

John Stonomox: 48 Lethal Badboys 2

Episode 7: John Stonomox 48 Lethal Badboys 2

While the rest of the team is off trying to retrieve Pierce from the bag, Jonomox and John Stone take it upon themselves to save metaverse 01995 - a verse on the verge of collapse. Someone has gone through and killed all but two avatars in a metaverse, and it's up to John Stone and Jonomox to see those avatars to safety. Hijinks abound, and the petty thief may finally be warming up to the ex-SWAT cyborg.

GM: James Durham; Players: Christian Doyle, Shawn Franklin

A Necessary Evil pt 1

Episode 8: A Necessary Evil pt 1

A new clue leads the team to another metaverse on the edge of destabilizing. John Stone, Jonomox, and Paul head to a metaverse where people with superpowers abound, and clash in grand struggles of power user on power user! Or at least, they used to; the world has been invaded by aliens who have wiped out all but a few remaining supers. Our team lands in 3 D-list ex-supervillains who are bound and determined to stop the invasion at all costs. Of course, the aliens aren't keen on that and spend a lot of time trying to put large ordinance into small people.

GM: James Durham; Players: Christian Doyle, Shawn Franklin, Xander Layden

A Necessary Evil pt 2

Episode 9: A Necessary Evil pt 2

After successfully stealing a ship from the aliens, the team heads to see notoriously unkillable gangster Willy the Fish. Willy asks for a payment from each avatar according to their talents, and gives the team information about a secret prison that might hold the answers they were looking for. Things go almost smoothly when they reach the secret prison - a state of affairs that naturally didn't last. Jonomox takes control of things by taking the place of a guard commander, and manages to deftly get them the rest of the way to their destination. It's a strange man they find in the cell; with the aid of a Lizard Wizard (patent expired) they bring the soul back to speak to them. What they got for answers was far more than they bargained for.

GM: James Durham; Players: Christian Doyle, Shawn Franklin, Xander Layden

The Dogfather Saga, pt 1

Episode 10: The Dogfather Saga pt 1

While Rhodes can't see the forest for the trees as far as the mysterious not-pilot currently wreaking havoc on the timelines of a number of metaverses, he does have a personal request for the team. While the Reliance heads back to Hope Colony, ostensibly for some R&R, he asks that a team jump into avatars into one particular metaverse to fix what's going wrong. As an additional incentive, he notes that this mission would release Jonomox as having fulfilled the terms of his parole. The team agrees to go. Hopping in, it seems the metaverse is a world of anthropomorphic animals. Jonomox is a good boy, Vector is a mutt hungry for attention, Paul is a hawk with a keen interest in the law, and John Stone is the son of the Dogfather himself. The Corleybone Family is under attack, and the pilots must help their avatars survive the mob war that is brewing.

GM: James Durham; Players: Christian Doyle, Shawn Franklin, Xander Layden, Bryce Bebop

The Dogfather Saga, pt 2

Episode 11: The Dogfather Saga pt 2

The Corleybone Family proved themselves to be the Top Dogs. In a series of daring raids and quick maneuvers, the team eliminates every last member of the opposing Family. Sammy take the lead of the Family when his father’s health forces him to retire. But all is not well in paradise; there’s a snitch in his confederates. On top of that, Sammy holds a very precarious throne and the sharks are circling ever closer.

Good Boys

Episode 12: Good Boys

As fast as the rise to the top was, the struggle to stay there starts even faster. Sammy – now Don Corleybone, head of the Family – tries to find traitors as Harry brings bad news. A traitor in his organization, someone close to the top is barking up the wrong tree to the feds. As plot twists abound, the pilots take desperate measures to make sure the Good Boys come out on top.

Basic Training

Episode 1: Basic Training

His parole up at long last, Jonomox chooses to stay with the team as a free being in his own right. He's not the only one joining the team, however; two new graduates of Rhonda's school are on board. Sam, your basic ex-PI, and Warren Winston Williams III, explorer extraordinary, come with high recommendations from Rhonda. Joined specially for this mission by Guybert and his impromptu companion, Jonomox has to make sure the two are up to snuff.
It's a pretty basic assignment; Apocalypse Then in a metaverse not slated for it, and their job is to figure out what happened. All signs point to their Adversary and their mad plans; TOM and Thomas request they get as much data as possible. Every little bit will help those two geniuses (?) track their opponent in the metaversal streams.
And Paul can probably fix up any lingering effects of prolonged exposure to this metaverse.
Probably.

Beyond Furry Road

Episode 2: Beyond Furry Road

Things get furry fast as TOM and Thomas find a lead on the Adversary. Jonomox, Princess Hedgehog, Vector Raynes, and Warren Winston Williams III head to the metapods for this mission. Their jump takes them to a postapocalyptic world full of talking animals. Their avatars, a bunch of happy-go-lucky scavengers, manage to bumble their way towards the mission objective. Random pod malfunctions keep life interesting as pilots switch avatars randomly. It's a race against time to get Wiley Coyote and his pack to the fortified bunker.

Super Teen Mystery Force Pt 1

Episode 3: Super Teen Mystery Force Pt 1

TOM and Thomas have another lead on where the Adversary will strike next, and send the team into another metaverse. Jonomox, Paul, Warren Winston Williams III, and Vector Raynes all end up in the bodies of 15 year old super geniuses. The boys are clowning around an archeological dig when their professor is murdered and they themselves are captured. Hijinks ensue as they escape capture, get recaptured, escape again and finally smuggle themselves onboard a submarine that is headed for the bad guys' secret lair.

Super Teen Mystery Force Pt 2

Episode 4: Super Teen Mystery Force Pt 2

The team of 15 year old supergeniuses - super-genius defined by IQ point, not by maturity (clearly) - sneak themselves down into the Evil Underwater Lair via a reasonably uncomfortable submarine ride. Once there, they get themselves captured on purpose, only to break out yet again. They manage to sneak through the base undetected, until they get to a computer that is the height of sophistication - for the 80s. Some screwdriver work, scissors, and several yards of magnetic tape later and they manage to acquire a schematic of the base, as well as what's been built to cause worldwide devastation: An earthquake machine. Unfortunately, the systems intrusion does not go unnoticed and the team is forced to make a new door to escape the computer room. When they reach the Doomsday Device, they find the Adversary in a very chatty mood as the machine begins to spin up. According to said Adversary, the Galvanic Collective was the brainchild of the Masters of the Metaverse, in an attempt to stop all bad things from happening, ever. The Adversary's body is trapped in the moment of their creation as their spirit ranges back through their previous lives in an attempt to prevent that moment from ever coming to pass - and saving their lover in the process. They claim that the only reason the team has interacted with the Galvanic Collective at all is because of the Adversary's work. The team manages to stop the Doomsday Device and save their avatars, but they have their doubts about the claims made in the room.

No Clue Part 1

Episode 5: No Clue Part 1

Paul, as a Sodian, has no need of sleep; as such, they are in a position to find a mysterious gift on the table of the mess hall. Handwritten records of the Masters of the Metaverse, dossiers and mission reports about them and the people around them, dating back several decades. However, it seems like the older records are fading - being unwritten. Meanwhile, Jonomox is kept from sleep by the suggestions brought forward by the Adversary and finds himself in the metapod room just as Pierce stumbles out of one of them. Pierce, as it turns out, has been clandestinely using the metapods to bond avatars, in the hopes he can find an edge that will keep him alive if the Masters ever come against the ship. When Paul shows up with the folders of information that should definitely not be outside the Archives, Pierce's estimation of the Adversary's truthfulness rises to 87%. Still, the trio doesn't have long to ponder this outcome before John Stone sends them on another mission against the Adversary. This time Jonomox, Paul, Warren, and Princess Hedgehog go to a metaverse whose timeline is somewhere in the late 1950s, and which has definitively no magic.
Once there, the team finds themselves on a ferry to an asylum for the criminally insane. A doctor, a reporter, a federal agent, and a serial killer all depart the ferry on the island. Nobody greets them on the dock, and the scent of fire hangs on the breeze. They head towards the interior of the island, and find the estate of the head doctor is on fire. A corpse sits among the flames - but not the corpse of the head doctor. The team head towards the asylum itself, seeking answers.

No Clue Part 2

Episode 6: No Clue Part 2

Things get stranger and stranger as the team gets deeper into the asylum. They meet and defeat several groups of inmates, all of whom were chemically augmented in some way. Princess Hedgehog also finds traces of magic - True Magic - on the experimental inmates. This is a Very Bad Thing, as this metaverse very much does not have any magic-wielding denizens. As the team descends into the bowels of the asylum, they find a monster made of human parts methodically disassembling and incorporating people dressed like orderlies. They manage to stop the thing and set the people in scrubs free before finding the Adversary at the heart of the asylum inside the head doctor. Seeing that the Adversary is about to ritually sacrifice the head doctor, the team steps in and stops that plan. Unfortunately, their actions have attracted Rhodes' attention and he shows up angry enough to chew nails and spit tacks. One snap, and he takes them all to Meta-End - or tries to, anyway. Instead, they end up in a Joe's Diner with opaque windows. The prison, the office of Rhodes - all of it, never having existed. The man who was Rhodes looks bewildered as he sets his hat aside, and the Adversary makes their escape out the doors of Joe's.
