The Peace Keeper's Force

Randy and Hatter are two generic bullies that I came up with…Randy’s name comes from the fact that he’s a ‘Random’ bully, and Hatter…well…he wears a hat. They have been causing trouble ever since they left the sixth grade and Tom and Sam constantly kick their asses.

Mr. Fleshman is the good natured principal at the school that Tom and Sam attend. He worked as a dean at Harvard for nearly thirty years, but decided to retire to the relatively quite life of an elementary school principal. He allows Tom and Sam a certain degree of freedom when it comes to taking care of bullies.

Steve is the local news anchor in Mesa Arizona…he’s a conspiracy theory buff and is constantly fired due to his views on aliens. I’m including him here because his antics make me giggle. Yes, I said giggle.

Once working as second in command on Roto’s ship Aarbrin is currently working on The Rose with General Temtrina. Aarbrin is now acting as ’staff supervisor’ though he the unofficial second in command. Aarbrin’s name comes from his original incarnation from about seven years ago named Air-Born, I liked the character so I found a place for him in the comic.

Like Aarbrin Forem worked on Roto’s ship as the lead pilot. Forem is relatively inexperience, but has a great aptitude for his job. He has take up the same position on The Rose. He respects Aarbrin, who he also calls friend. Forem is a lot like Aarbrin in that he has been around for years, his name is the cool version of ‘Four-Arms’ of which he does have four arms.

Tom’s name for the disembodied voice in his head. Whether of not Dis is a manifestation of Tom’s degrading psyche, or actually a supernatural being is yet to be reveled.

A telekinetic assassin, who works for the organization called “New Genesis”, just who she really is and what her back story is has yet to be reveled. She has few memories of her past, but seems to remember that he father was killed when she was very young.

Hana’s mother. Laura is an ex-punk rocker girl who’s gone home maker, she was rather young when Hana was born and was forced to take a lot of responsibility after her husband died. Laura is a typical over-protective mother, one of the few concessions that she has made is letting Hana train with Jenny.

The highest ranked official in the ZPF, he resides in the main ZPF base in scenic Iowa. He is determined to get Tom, Sam and Hana removed from their positions as PKF because he doesn’t trust them as protectors of Zictin. He is thoughtful man who gained his position due to his ability to plan several steps ahead of his opponents. He absolutely despises Tom and his assistant has standing orders to ‘run him the hell over’ if the boy happens to be in front of his car.

The good natured Doctor works at the Iowa ZPF head quarters, he has been helping Adjana since his transfer there in 1995. Though not much older than Eugene the Doctor feels a kind of protective bond with the siblings and does he best to keep them out of trouble. The Doctor makes up Adjana’s extended family along with Jak-Lak.

The always jovial pilot, Jak-Lak is an ex-smuggler for the KC who defected to GASP, Jak was transferred to the ZPF in 1995 and quickly became friends with Eugene Ruabie, he cares about Adjana like she were his own little sister and would do anything to protect her. Jak’s accent is based on Remy LeBeau, one of my favorite Marvel characters.

Eugene works at the ZPF as a member of the highly decorated Special Forces. Eugene is Adjana Silvaria’s brother and does whatever he can to help his baby sister. Eugene is best friends with Jak-Lak and can frequently be found drinking with the pilot and the members of his special forces team.

Once thought by Tom to be nothing more than his imaginary friend, but after the events in Book One Chapter Eight Tom has come to realized that Chris is much more than a figment of his imagination. Chris lives below Tom’s unconscious and seems to be scheming of ways to take control of the boy’s body…Chris takes on the role of Tom’s more violent side. Chris is willing to do anything to reach his goals…including killing everyone who stands in his path.

God of Knowledge and keeper of the forked path Kyren has an interest in Tom for some reason. Detached and emotionless Kyren seems to care very little for others well being. Refers to eras as ’rounds’ and people as ‘pawns’ or ‘pieces’. Loosely aligned with Paoken, Kyren seems to stand by him only in so far as it helps the God’s own plans.

God of strength and valor Paoken acts with his heart and has a temper that can shake mountains. He calls Tom his ‘Vessel’ though the meaning of this term is unclear. Paoken watches Tom with interest but has thus far avoided direct contact with the boy. Paoken and Kyren have a fragile alliance, but Paoken believes in his sibling and Kyren’s intentions.

Sheldon despises his first name and prefers to be called ‘Mack’, the only person to regularly call him ‘Sheldon’ are his mother and Dr. Kavorian. Mack makes up the second part to Eugene’s Squad. Good natured, honest, and one of Eugene’s best friends Mack is a demolitions expert who loves his job. He’s serial monogamist and he rarely dates a guy for less than three or four months. Mack’s family thinks that he’s a banker working for the government top-secretly funneling money to guerrilla organizations in South America. Long story.

Ami, as she’s usually called, is the third member of Eugene’s Special Forces unit. Ami was originally sent to Zictin as a transfer from the GASP special forces. Ta’Ami is a strong willed ex-GASP solider who served in a special taskforce meant to capture smugglers. Ami may or may not have a crush on Eugene…and Eugene may or may not be serious about dating her. It’s complicated.

Middle aged, ill tempered and commonly described as a ‘cougar’ . Ms. Adriana is a capable woman who has found herself principal of a school populated by elitist Airosians, well trained martial artists and a fair number of disgruntled teachers. She has taken a ‘no third chance’ approach with misconduct and has set her sights on expelling Tom and Terrance.

The newest addition to Tom’s group of ‘tag-a-longs’. Terrence is the son of a well respected Martial arts master who fought Jenny in her days of competition. Trained in Muy-Tai by his father and Boxing by his grandfather Terrence has proven himself to be a valuable asset in a fight. The whereabouts of Terrence’s mother is unknown to him and his father and honestly he just doesn’t care. Terrence’s father is currently confined to a wheel chair after a traffic accident some years earlier.

Once one of the most respected members of the World Martial Arts community; Michael was severely injured in a car accident several years ago. Though not paralyzed, the damage is extensive enough to force him into a wheel chair and a quickly dwindling savings account has forced the Mui-Tai expert into semi-poverty and he’s unable to afford the physical therapy. Mike has been forced to find low-rent housing with his son in an apartment complex near Tom’s school.

Areia does not spend as much time with Paoken as her brother Kyren, but she is still aligned against Kayooshen. Ariea constantly tries to do the right thing, but just as frequently finds she is causing a bigger mess. Ariea has an interest in Tom, but it’s entirely possible she just thinks he’s adorable.

The slightly pudgy, constantly befuddled, assistant to the Director of The ZPF. Lee does all the things that the Director doesn’t do. Including: getting coffee, driving, and organizing reports. Lee enjoys drawing, watching cartoons from the 50’s, and reading trashy romance stories. Yes, he’s an odd duck. He also has standing orders to run over Tom on sight. It is unknown if he’ll do it or not…and to be honest he doesn’t know the answer either.

Good natured, easily amused, and typically found with a half cocked grin on his face. Bo is one of Mikel’s oldest friends, and is likely the only person who’s opinion Mikel cares about even remotely. Bo’s mother was born on a space station just outside of Velkin space and his father lived on a farm in the Airosian plains before the fall of the planet.

Mikel is the self proclaimed ‘leader’ of the Airosain-clique in Tom’s school. He’s actually the only full-blooded Airosian in the school. Mikel has surrounded himself with all the necessary people to rise up in the world; the muscle (Horo), the brains (Donrei), the beauty (Sosha), and the right hand man (Bo’Dran). Mikel is old school Airosian, which is a polite way of saying he’s a dick.

Sosha is the half blooded Airosian daughter of a businessman from Las Vegas. Sosha is typically seen hanging off the arm of Mikel, whom she considers her boyfriend. Sosha is an extremely well trained fighter. Sosha dislikes the way Mikel treats her and her friends, but is afraid of losing him if she speaks up. Her father was quite surprised when he was told he had married, and fathered the child with, a woman who’s from another planet…but he took it in stride.

Half-Airosian, Half Rakin. Horo’s Rakin father abandoned the family shortly after Horo was born; as such he tends to be a constant reminder of a very troubled time in his mother’s life. Horo doesn’t speak much, if ever, and barely keeps his grades above failing. He’s something of a bruiser and has a tendency to get into trouble. Horo follows Mikel almost exclusively because he can’t think of anyone else to follow, and Sosha can kick his ass.

Donrei’s mother emigrated from France to America in the eighties, once here she met the recently off-the-ship Airosian that would become Donrei’s father. Donrei is very intelligent, but until he met Mikel he didn’t feel like he had a place to belong. Donrei is the groups tutor, computer specialist, and all-round mousey friend.

Ali is the secretary for Jorrin at his office building. It has been hinted at that she’s not Human, nor is she a NIS, feel free to debate (though it has been revealed in my Hunter blog). Relatively good natured, Ali tends put on a very severe facade and is sometimes considered harsh, though she’s actually very nice. Ali can usually be found reading the newspaper in an attempt to keep up with world events; she also enjoys crosswords and John Grisham novels.

Even though omen looks like a child of ten or eleven years old, he’s actually one of the oldest beings on Earth. Omen works for Jorrin by running all the errands that the old watcher cannot. The being enjoys jokes, watching television, and playing practical jokes on anyone who gets in his line of sight.

Jorrin is the watcher of Earth. His compound sits in Glasgow, Scotland and is hidden under the guise of a home security development corporation. The old man has alluded that he’s been alive for a long time, but not as long as Omen. Jorrin enjoys tea, cookies, and socks…which he even sleeps with on.

Cousin to Tom and sister to Patricia, Candi fancies herself ‘the princess’. The girl adores Jenny and claims she wants to be just like her beloved aunt, despite never learning to fight. Candice has a rudimentary understanding of Jenny’s martial arts style, but never put as much effort into it as her sister. Her aspirations include marrying a prince and owning her own sail-boat…and finding where Patricia’s hidden her diary so she can stop her sister from spreading her private aspirations.

Good humored, easily amused, and high as a kite are just some of the words used to describe the dog-faced guardian of a great power located in the Congo. Dara lives in the temple but he’s not restricted to its grounds…though he’s usually there. Dara likes plaid and bright, colorful, clothes…and sandals. Dara is mistakenly identified as a ‘god’ by the locals who consider him their deity. Only one villager, Armel, treats Dara as a person and not a God.

Large, muscular, and infatuated with extinct plants. Yaren is associated with the Reapers, though it’s unclear how much control she has over them. It’s been suggested that she can order Reapers, and has ordered them to observe Tom. Her duties with the Reapers tend to keep her busy but she always finds time to tend her ever expanding garden of rare (and extinct) plants in the South Pole.
