phrasemuffin Jul. 7th, 2005 11:00 pm)please note - as you may have noticed from previous episodes, normal English words do not always have the same meaning within the Pathetic Realm. References to "Pathetic" things is not to show a lack of power or status, and references to "Fallopia" things and the "Ovis" are in no way meant to degrade or segregate women, nor show prejudice - Fallopia was a "current word" with in certain circles and migrated itslef into the story during creational stages and for historical-correctness' sake, it cannot be changed (note - the "pertaining to" form is Fallopic or Fallix, not Fallopian. Also, "Pathetic Race", the basis of all things "Pathetic", was originally intended to mock the Amazing Race (see episode one of TPR) but has since grown and evolved into the "The Pathetic Race" storyline and episodes i am sure you have ALL read.
GooBer - The Great Pathetic, leader of Pathetic HQ. He is husband to Cloe (see below) and father to Jimmy (see below). Main adversary is the Ovis (see below). Classified as Good. For more information see his character profile.
Cloe - A.k.a. Wildflower, Cloe is wife to GooBer and mother to Jimmy. She likes to dance the night away with a drink in hand, and can often be found with a hang-over the next morning. Truly beautiful and kind, her loveable nature (and passion to dance) are what brought Cloe and GooBer together after living and growing up together in the same house for several years. She has one brother, Tok'Kir (see below) but no sisters. Bone member of the Order of the Ark (see below). Classified as Good.
Jimmy - The son of GooBer and Cloe, Jimmy is only 6. He is adorably cute like a young puppy, and wets his pants just as often (I know - dogs don't wear pants, but who cares?). Though tipped to inherit Pathetic HQ when GooBer retires, Jimmy is yet to show signs of Pathetic Powers (see below) - the only hinderance in the inheritance of the title, the Great Pathetic. This is odd as GooBer's Pathetic Powers have always been asumed to be genetic, though with lack of lineage-proof, this is merely speculation. Though GooBer and Cloe would be more comfortable in Jimmy's future safety if he were to show signs of Pathetic prowess, theey would understand that it was not his choice to make and hope that Pathetic HQ can totally destroy the Ovis and its minions. Classified as Good.
the Ovis - the Fallix, leader of Fallopia HQ. Not much is known about the Ovis except it's desire to rule the universe using extraordinary weapons and Beasts. Main adversary is GooBer and the Pathetic HQ. Classified as Evil.
hydeist_ - Key employee in the Pathetic HQ. Once captured by the Ovis and it's forces and whipped for days while other weapons were transported in (all others had been used, stolen or destroyed in the previous battle with Pathetic HQ and Insomi Seuno), but rescued soon after and is now back in his seat at the Pathetic Triangle. Successful missions - 169. Unsuccessful missions - 2. Classified as Good. For more information see his character profile.
d_vinci - Key member in the Pathetic HQ. Has major contact in Underground resistance chains named Insomi Seuno (see below), a Cheesemaker (see below). Joined Pathetic HQ two years after hydeist_. Successful missions - 104. Unsuccessful missions - 5. Classified as Good. For more information see his character profile.
Tok'Kir - A.k.a Flaming Sword of Cheese and brother of Cloe, Tok'Kir was lost to another dimension at a young age through an experiment of his father's (for more information, see episode 6 part 2). There he mastered many ___________________________ Powers (note that they are not classified as Pathetic Powers). Returned to this dimension only recently, thanks to GooBer, Tok'Kir wishes to join Pathetic HQ. Tok'Kir's powers are not as many or as powerful as GooBer's, but the two do share some common gifts - for example the use of Transdimensional Anchor Rings (many names due to its use in many dimensions). Powers individual to Tok'Kir include High Grade Pyrotechnics (meaning summoning and controlling at extreme levels), Summoning (especially of his hand-crafted Sword of Flaming Cheese), and Salioic (extreme jumping, dashing and assaulting) prowess. Character profile to come.
Cheese - Underground code word for weaponry
Cheesemaker - Underground code word for Weaponry and Arms Manufacturer. Most Cheesemakers do have a cheesemaking job as a plausible cover, and seeing as most cheese in the universe is made on Earth (pokey little planet as yet untouched by Ovis' minions), most Cheesemakers have hideouts there. This is, therefore, also the main corner of the Black Market Against Ovis, dealing in specialised weaponry and defences for use against the Fallix, as well as information recovered from the few remaining spies within Fallopia HQ (most have been discovered or killed during missions, or have died protecting the lives of fellow spies). Most spies are of the Order of the Arc (see below) and use their gift to help prevent the spread of the Ovis and all Fallix. Cheesemakers are often greatest allies with those of the Order of the Arc, and some are OF the Order.
Order of the Arc - Divided into the Blood members and Bone members. Blood members are gifted with the power to shape-shift, and their names partially reflect this - the first half of the name is given according to the family, while the second half is based in the form the child takes at birth (when Blood members are born, the initial light forces their bodies to revert to an Arkian form (form once taken by the Ark (see below)). The second half either refers to shape or uses, or is alternately the forms Arkian Name. Bone members are those members who join the Order of the Ark after birth, but those they give birth to are often latent Blood members due to the initiation ceremonies (sharing of small amounts of Blood is often reqired to join the Order). Both Blood and Bone members of the Order swear to uphold the Truths of the Ark and protect it with their lives. Unfortunately, the Ark was lost to Time in a chess match and has not been seen since. Still, the Order members follow the Truths that have been passed down from generation to generation, though many have been lost, and search, along with Time, for the Ark.
Insomi Seuno - Cheesemaker contact of d_vinci. He is a Blood member of the Order of the Arc, as symbolised by the Mark of the Ark on his forehead. His natural state is a small ball, reminiscent of an early form of the Ark (seventh recorded form, from the third century of its existance). Favourite forms include the Battle Grax (very large Spider Beast with several projectile cannons located through verious areas of its body; includes a riding seat) and the Silver Drake (very small silver drake (unwinged dragon) with option of invisibility). In his role as a Cheesemaker, Insomi Seuno is the most gifted designer and builder of weapons and shielding, making him the Head Cheesemaker; his ingenious weapons are the only competitors to those designed and built by the Ovis itself. He is also a prominent member of the Underground Black Market Against Ovis (UBMAO) and part of a Council of Traders that governs the UBMAO. Insomi Seuno's weapon of choice is his own Bouncer model - as long as a leg, the Bouncer model is an energy weapon with many different settings such as SwordSabre Mode (constant beam set up to 20metres long), ReverbReflux Mode (forces another energy weapon to fire and deplete its energy source, then sends the energy back as sound energy and vibrates the weapon into individual particles; most appropriate on High Energy weapons, though dangerous if too high) and PulseCannon Mode (individual, high velocity "cannon balls"; long charge time) - these modes are in addition to the Normal Mode of the weapon which can cook toast or bring down a Battle Grax in a matter of seconds. Classified as Good. Character profile coming soon.
The Arc - The Ark has always been the Protector of Truths. It was originaly designed and built by a mysterious character eight centuries ago to hold and protect the Scrolls of Truth that kept the universes in Harmony - as long as the Scrolls exist, the Truths are intact and the Universes will remain in Harmony. Previous to the Scrolls and the Ark, the universes were riddled by war and disease, but since their creation, the unverses have alligned. The Truths and the Ark were kept by an Order of Priests, Priestesses and bigenderous Monks, and imparted gifts to the Bloodlines that protected them. During the Ark's existence, flaws within the Truths (as the Writer wasn't Perfect, nor could Its Creation be) led to discrepencies and outbreaks of disharmonious action - in these times, the Ark was made to take a form to appease the action and restore Harmony. Ages of the Ark were defined by these forms, and during its existence of eight centuried, the Ark has been recorded as having 12 forms. However, due to an untimely chess match, the Ark was taken away from the Order and lost to Time. Since this chess match, the Ark has not been sited, but, although there has been no visual proof, there are rumours that the Ark was stolen from Time by the Ovis, or worked its way to It some other way, and is being held in The Fallopia HQ under constant guard by Ovis and many highly complex, highly sensative, hghly powerful automated defence systems. Not only are these defence systems in place, but the Ovis only ever remains within the centre of an area for the greatest possible defensive stance, meaning It is most likely in the very heart of The Fallopia HQ with the Ark. Also, the Fallopia HQ is constantly moving, secretly, and is therefore hard to find. Due to the absence of the Ark from natural space, the universes have been able to fall into disarray once more, though not yet to the extent of pre-Arkian times. If left for too much longer without the assistance of the Ark, the Ovis will have an easy path to controlling them.
AshtrayAssassin - Easily the sexiest character in the entire story due to her dark and mysterious nature, AshtrayAssassin is another Blood member of the Order of the Ark. Her initial form was that of a sabre, whose Arkian Name was The Assassin (ninth form of the Ark also from the third century). Her prefered forms include the Shadow Tiger of Paithious Prime (a tiger Beast three times that of an average Earth tiger whose body only reflects some light, mainly at the tips of the fur folicles and around the face and tail where the fur is shortest, hence the name SHADOW Tiger) and the Storm Spirit (consisting mainly of cloud vapour, this entity has the ability to release lightning and all forms of rain until stores are dry; dangers in molecular misalignment and separation are surprisingly low). AshtrayAssassin's favourite weapon is another of Insomi Seuno's own creations, the Mach - standing at a whoping 1 metre, this surprisingly light weapon (as it relies on no extra ammunition but a lot of gas pockets and open chambers) relies on air and sound for its opperation: its Reverb setting sends powerful pulses of sound energy to dissociate particles of an object, while the Compression Rifle setting shoots pockets of compressed air at targets (has a range of roughly a kilometer on a windless day before the compressed air begins to become less dangerous due to ths extreme velocity of the shot). Classified as Good. Character profile to come. AshtrayAssassin's profession is spy within Fallix territory.
The Yellow - a state of mind wherein the physical form of the victim is totally separated from mind (though still in complete health and working order, and alive, though they appear to suffer from jaundice). The mind then ascertains a peculiar semi-corporeal within the Yellow, allowing all harm and benefit done to either the body or the mind to be transfered directly to the other. During the separation of mind into the Yellow, the physical body requires no sustainance as the Yellow acts to keep the semi-corporeal form satisfied. The Yellow can only be exited in one of two known ways: the first way is to kill the body or enter the Yellow (with a life-boat or other suitable escape roap) and kill the mind - once dead the mind will become fully corporeal due to the lack of the link to the body - order of death has no impact on this process; the second is to fully detach the mind from the body without killing either (extremely difficult without the right tools), forcing the mind to become totally corporeal, then disposing of the physical body or allowing to be host to another non-corporeal entity in the Realm.
Time - personification and corporeal form of time. Unclassified
