Right, posting of the happenings. You should be familiar with everybody by now, but in case you aren't, here we go.
DR MAELSTROM
First of all, Dr. Maelstrom. A self-proclaimed genius, with the verbosity to match. His main focus is on the invention and creation of prototypes, most of which are of a robotic or mechanical nature. He proclaims to be an important employee of "Frobozz Electric", but seems to be constantly dissapointed by the quality of the products which they produce. He is usually seen wearing a lab coat over a well-kempt dress shirt, vest and pants. He treats most of the other foresters with indifference, and makes no attempts to make himself familiar with anyone else. He's a highly-intelligent, but otherwise normal, human.
Physically, Dr. Maelstrom is fairly tall and agile, standing at five-foot-11. He has jet-black hair, which is fairly short, thin-rimmed glasses, and looks to be in his early twenties.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
JESS
Second is Jess, the four-armed fairy. She has a short temper and a mean streak, but seems to be fairly tolerant of the rest of the foresters. She sometimes tries to pick fights with those who seem to be arrogant, although she is somewhat over-confident herself. She has a love for music, but doesn't know how to play anything herself.
Physically, Jess stands at about 5-foot-2, and is a fairly athletic-looking woman. She has something of a green hue to her skin, dark almond-shaped eyes, and four arms (Two left, two right. One on each shoulder, and another pair on either side of her ribcage. She usually wears a forest-camoflauge leotard, and carries a scmitar, a cutlass, a shortsword, a very compact bow and a pair of six-shot pistols.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BIRDY
Then there is Birdy the drunken scarecrow. He smells awful, is always drunk, messy, rude, loud and random. He just kind of hangs around and has a phobia of the trees attacking. Or something. He has a tendency to immediately approach and annoy the first person to enter his drunken field of view. His main weapons in combat are a cast-iron frying pan and a tank of helium.
The method which Birdy has come to be is through the use of Voodoo, as cast by a Madame Zimbibriyabwah (Madame Zim for short). Due to her foresight, she decided it would be a very good idea to protect Birdy from fire, and thus he is invulnerable to it. In fact, he seems more or less undamaged by a great many forms of attack, which is the only reason he is still alive. He does have weaknesses, but I don't feel like posting them because as soon as I do one of you chuckleheads is going to look it up and abuse it, so nyeh.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CHIDORI & MISAKI MIHAMA
Aside from this are the Mihama sisters, Chidori and Misaki, who got ditched when a bunch of people showed up on a spaceship.
CHIDORI
Chidori is a short young girl, age 18, of Japanese heritage. She normally works as a voice actress, and is allegedly somewhat famous in Japan for this. Despite this, she is generally quite timid when faced with making tough decisions or with people who intimidate her. She is very friendly and fairly accepting of other people, and enjoys being good company. She has a rather blatant love of good food, and will become quite distracted should somebody place a good meal in front of her. She is fairly athletic, spending a fair amount of time training, running, and excersizing when she is not otherwise busy.
Although Chidori possesses no extraordinary powers or capabilities, although she has shown that she has quite a bit of skill with swords and other bladed weapons. Her older sister, Misaki, generally protects her from any dangers that the two encounter, thus sparing Chidori from having much experience in an actual fight. Unfortunately, this has also led Chidori to be something of a coward should she have to face anything alone, as she often relies on her older sister to help when things go badly.
Chidori is fairly short, standing at 5 feet tall precisely. Her hair is straight and well-kempt, and usually hangs loose to her waist. She takes rather good care of herself, and keeps herself looking her best without trying to stand out. She usually wears bright colours, often in the form of a bright, tight-fitting T-shirt and jeans. She weighs just over 100 pounds, keeping herself fairly thin without looking frail. Being Japanese, she has light brown skin, black hair, and dark brown eyes. She often looks very cheerful and very happy.
MISAKI
Misaki Mihama is a young woman of age 27. She is untrusting of strangers, but is rather friendly to those she knows and likes. Due to an experiment conducted on her by an secret research group in her early teens, she has the power to controll earth and stone. This was obtained by grafting magnetite to her legs and arms, and then undergoing several months of surgical and medical treatments. She generally uses this power to encase herself in rock, becoming an incoherent stone golem. She is quite loyal to those she cares about, and can sometimes get a bit over-protective of others. She is quite the heavy-weight when it comes to alcohol, and enjoys drinking on a semi-regular basis.
Misaki is a fairly tall, thin woman. She's about 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and rather thin. She looks like she weighs about 140 pounds, but due to her augmentation weighs in at just under 385 pounds. Her hair is short-cropped and black, falling just past her shoulders. She has somewhat pale skin for being Japanese, but is still easily identifiable as being of Japanese heritage. Her eyes are similarily black and somewhat narrow. Her default expression around strangers is generally distrusting.
In terms of clothing, she generally wears dark jeans that go to her shins, a tight t-shirt and occasionally a hair-band.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MIRAGE
Then there's Mirage.
Mirage is a street-magician-turned-hero, introduced to the a superhero group known as the Legion about 14 years ago. He was 18 when he first entered the Legion, and has mastery over illusions of light and sound, although how this is so isn't entirely clear. This allows him to disguise himself rather well, as well as turn himself invisible. He's not very effective as a fighter, and his only methods of attack are quite mundane, usually involving a steel bat. He remains mostly loyal to the Legion out of his realization that he's simply not cut out to work on his own. He mostly uses his illusions to distract or fool villains, although this does not often prove very effective.
Mirage generally wears a dark trenchcoat when in combat, along with a rather wide-brimmed hat, to hide himself in should his invisibility fail. Underneath this, however, he wears a pair dark purple dress pants and a vest, with a dark green dress shirt and sage tie. He often has a silvered half-mask that covers the top half of his face, although his eye colour can be seen as an emerald green. His hair is toussled and changes colours with his mood, though it's naturally a dark grey. He stands about five-foot-ten, and is fairly thinly built. He's about as strong as an athlete, and works to keep himself in good shape from time to time.
Mirage has the ability to create visible, opaque illusions. He also can controll or create sound waves, and is able to make his illusions talk as needed. He is also able to see, to an extent, through the eyes of his illusions, and sense when something has gone through them without the illusions being destroyed. However, once somebody makes physical contact with one of his illusions, he generally dismisses it since it will no longer have any real effect. Due to his extended amount of practise, most of his illusions are quite difficult to discern from the real thing. He's also able to turn himself invisible.
Of his tricks, one of his most useful is creating the illusion of an opaque cube around the heads of his enemies, making them unable to see.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLUWARK
Following up from the pirate storyline, there's Bluwark. A bottom-dweller with little visible ability to show emotion, he was dumped in the lake for feigned incompetence. His voice is almost entirely unable to convey emotion, and thus he precedes most of his statements with the intended emotion or way the the statement was meant to be taken. He seems to be rather pacifist, and moves very slowly.
Bluwark has a very unusual appearance. He's about six feet tall, constantly hunched over due to the shape of his spine. He has three short, thick legs shaped like those of an elephant. His arms are similarly thick and clumsy-looking, and his hands are similar in structure to the feet of a tree-frog. His eyes are large, black, and beady. His nose consists of two vertical slits in his face. His mouth is somewhat slack-jawed, with large, yellow, grimy teeth obviously best-suited for eating plants. His skin is grey, dull and blubbery. He wears a black leather tri-corn on his head, with a few strands of kelp attached to it. He also wears an oversized black leather trenchcoat, which also has a fair bit of lake-floor detrius clinging to it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
SEDGE
Apart from all these fellows is Sedge, a rather creepy-looking korean man with a ripped-up straight-jacket covered in cuts and slashes and blood stains. He carries a wide variety of knives on him at almost all times, and loves to cause mayhem when and where he can. He has a rather large series of messy scars all over his body, some of them self-induced. His only concern is what course of action will end up with him running off with the most loot. Usually, it's the evil one. He is somewhat proud, and has something of an oversized ego. He's also rather thin and lanky. He's not able to take much in terms of damage, and he's not very strong. However, he is able to teleport himself and whatever is in contact with him at will. He's got very fast reflexes, so the best way to beat him is with a surprise attack.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ALARM CLOCK GOLEM
As the result of a giant magical bell, there is also a small golem; the Alarm Clock Golem. It's head is a rounded, old-fashioned alarm clock, and it's body appears to be made of shiny brass gears, axles and springs. The ACG is about 2 feet tall, and weighs about 40 pounds. It is entirely unable to speak, and communicates using body language, ringing bells and a cardboard sign. It seems to be friendly, and seems to be most concerned with offering to help anything sentient and non-violent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
WHO'S ABOUT?
Not all these characters are always in the forest, so I'll keep a list of who is there right now : Birdy, Bluwark, Sedge, Alarm Clock Golem, Jess, Andre (Not at clearing), Frank, Streikenbots, Clone base.
