Cast
The Apple
The Apple of Discord started it’s life innocently enough as a wedding present from Eris, the Goddess of Chaos. Unfortunately, Eris neglected to specify who exactly The Apple was intended for, instead inscribing it to Kallisti, or “The Fairest One”. The resulting fight between the various goddesses had to be settled by a mere mortal, Paris (The Prince of Troy). Aphrodite (The Goddess of Gettin’ it On)offered him the most beautiful woman alive as a bribe and Paris, being no fool, opted for the nookie. Unfortunately, this eventually led to The Trojan War.
Little is said of the Apple’s fate after this… rumor has it that it appeared again a few years later, at a quiet little mountain town called Pompei… then again, popping up in London right before a series of fires… San Fransisco in the early 2oth Century (1906 to be exact)… and was last reported seen on Ewe Boll’s bookshelf.
Sir Vivor of Redshirtia
Sir Vivor isn’t just a knight of the Kingdom of Redshirtia… he’s THE knight of the Kingdom of Redshirtia, the sole remaining sword for the oft-blighted kingdom. Unfortunately, being the only knight left alive in a kingdom beset by monsters, ogres, trolls, politicians, lawyers, and rampant stupidity isn’t nearly as glorious as it sounds… but hey, the pay is good.
Arthur
The eldest child of the “Our Parents Hate Us” trifecta. Arthur represents the every man, a paragon of normalicy in a universe gone completely and utterly bonkers. From his sensible haircut to his business-casual artistic goatee, Arthur is the key identifier for the 18-35 year old male demographic, ideally the target audience of most web comics. When not out listening to the best hits of the 90’s on his iBard or sitting on the couch being mesmorized by the gestalt of modern culture, Art (as his friends call him) has been known to debate politics, philosophy, and religion with any crazy homeless people who may wander by. He probably also has a webcomic.
Connie
Arthur’s younger sister and the middle child of the “Our Parents Hate Us” trifecta. Hasn’t actually appeared in the comic yet, but exists out there somewhere.
Doyle
Arthur’s younger brother and the youngest child of the “Our Parents Hate Us” trifecta. Doyle does not believe the odd things going on around him are real, and frequently takes medication to stop the “visions” he’s seeing. He is “friends” with Horn, although common sense usually stops him just shy of getting himself arrested, and is generally gullible to any scam that comes his way. Doyle wears a green shirt with a yellow + on it.
Leaf
Arthur’s ad-hoc girlfriendish person. Works at the mall, likes the color green… it’s the color of nature, the color of her eyes, and the color of money, after all. Oh, and Leaf is an elf, the sole survivor from a magical realm that collapsed some time ago. Not that it matters, since I don’t draw ears, but if I did, hers would be pointy.
Horn
Hang on to your wallet, lock up your daughters, and hide your passwords! Who is this unmasked man in the purple shirt with a skull on it? Is he an agent of darker powers, or merely a ne’erdowell who managed to get in under the fence? Regardless of his origins, be asured he’s up to something. While he may not intend to do bad things specifically, Horne’s appearance usually means that something – a con, a grift, a pyramid scheme, or just plain ol’ creepyness – is underway.
Doctor Hubris
Doc Hubris is the comic’s default mad scientist. Well, not really mad… quite sane, actually. Does a lot of things in the name of “SCIENCE!” that, if ask, science would probably rather he didn’t do.
Gayzilla
Who’s thirty stories tall, neon pink, and has the best fashion sense of all the kaiju? It’s GAYZILLA! Little is known aboutthe large florescent lizard aside from the fact that he heroically defends the odd cat-like people of Neko-Japan from a variety of natural (and unnatural) foes, only pausing in his heroic quest occasionally to gossip for hours with Mothroy, Gayzilla’s Transgender butterfly pal.
Jenny Everywhere
The original Open-Source webcomic character, Jenny Everywhere (aka The Shifter), doesn’t seem to be able to escape the powers of the Apple of Discord… even it’s Cast page. After all, what good is the ability to shift realities when ‘reality’ follows you, waits until you’re not looking, and hits you with a drunken smurf wearing a kilt?
Also, to save me from having to put it up every time I use Jenny, here’s her disclaimer… The character of Jenny Everywhere is available for use by anyone, with only one condition. This paragraph must be included in any publication involving Jenny Everywhere, in order that others may use this property as they wish. All rights reversed.
