This dog is fucked up bruh

A recent high school grad and the local exorcist of the sleepy little town of Fairwell! JasperCoral is kind, outgoing, and always eager to help out a friend -- or a stranger -- in need.

He (she?) has been visiting the world of Love Bomb in her (his?) "girl disguise" in an attempt to get his dad back. And that's her only motivation, of course.

She was getting friendly with Cliff Mason for a spell, there, but things are awkward now. He's seen some things he couldn't unsee, said some things she couldn't take back.

Better to focus on finding Sunny again. And, naturally, that involves heading to Love Bomb in her "girl disguise".

Sunny

Love Level 13

Element: Sun
Weapon: Voice

Pronouns: she/her

One of JasperCoral's best friends from debate club. She might seem uncouth, but look beneath and you'll find a razor wit and a fiercely loyal heart!

After a series of mishaps in Love Bomb, Sunny's gotten herself stuck inside Last Gun. Uh oh! Fortunately the Aveans have mistaken her for one of their own. She's gonna need every trick in the bullshit book to get herself out of this one.She's already asserted herself as queen of the labs -- and she doesn't even have a PhD.

It could get real lonely out there, pretending to be someone you're not on an alien planet. But fortunately she's got her new best mate with her: that grim little bastard Jiro, who she's gotten on with like a house on fire.

Moon-Soo

Pronouns: he/him

JasperCoral's other best friend from debate club. He's a calm and analytical sort who deconstructs his opponent's arguments piece by piece!

He's also pretty good with computers.

Rex

Pronouns: he/him

JasperCoral's deceased father. He used to be an exorcist too, and now he's training his kid in the ways of the Mundy family line from beyond the grave.

He was cruelly taken from his family-- again-- when Casandra put him in an Orb. While he was Orbed by Casandra, thanks to Coral's efforts he's now safely back in the hands of his family. Things can finally get back to normal now. Right...?

Alma

Pronouns: she/her

JasperCoral's mum! She runs a supply store for spiritual protections in town.

She's taken a shine to the new space marine in town! She's been looking after him, in a lot of ways. Poor guy, he needs it.

Sitara

Pronouns: she/they

A shy girl who nonetheless loves cosplay. She's good at it, too! She's an old friend of JasperCoral's.

Clip

Pronouns: they/them

Moon-Soo's inexorably silly datemate. They waltz through life with an unstoppably good mood.

Headless Ed

Pronouns: he/him

A spectre that haunts the Mundy family line. What is he planning...?

Casandra put him in an Orb. I guess that's that dealt with.

—Jiro— Monk Love Champion	STR: 23 DEX: 29 VIT: 35 MAG: 23 SPD: 14 LCK: 8 Weapon: Quarterstaff
	The Love Champion of Hollidae! Jiro was gifted the LOVE POWER by the Goddess, allowing him to gift magical power to others that grows more fearsome the more they Love him! He's happy here. He's happy. It's fine. He's fine. It's fine. He's fine. It's fine. After being swept away from Hollidae by a flood, he found himself making fast friends with Sunny. She looks to be the first real friend he's had in... hm.

—Polyta— Myrmidon Love Level 54	STR: 26 DEX: 25 VIT: 25 MAG: 23 SPD: 24 LCK: 15 Element: Wind Weapon: Saber ARSENAL: Hardlight Blade, Huntress Blaster
	Polyta is a powerful warrior, a skilled tactician, and an experienced leader! With her saber in hand and a heroic bearing in her heart, she works hard every day to rally her friends in the fight against the dark forces that threaten their way of life. Polyta's been separated from her girls, she's imprisoned in a world of strange bird-lizard-men. She's not worried about herself, she's been in worse trouble than this before. But the girls... are they going to be okay on their own...? Now she’s safely back in Hollidae, ready to defend her home even without Jiro at her back. Times are hard, but a warrior knows how to keep going. How to make the hard decisions.

—Helen— Gladiator Love Level 4	STR: 34 DEX: 8 VIT: 30 MAG: 13 SPD: 20 LCK: 19 Element: Fire Weapon: Hammer ARSENAL: SAF-13 Automatic Shotgun
	The local blacksmith on the isle of Hollidae. Helen's rough exterior hides the heart of a maiden.

—Casandra— Trickster Love Level 2	STR: 20 DEX: 22 VIT: 21 MAG: 17 SPD: 31 LCK: 33 Element: Gold Weapon: Flail ARSENAL: Westman Revolver
	Hollidae's shopkeeper. Her canny business sense was honed into a fine point over years of being a travelling merchant. She's recently found a very lucrative enterprise in putting ghosts in Orbs. Ghosts she's been sourcing from other worlds, as it happens.

—Rilly— Dancer Love Level 2	STR: 18 DEX: 45 VIT: 11 MAG: 21 SPD: 25 LCK: 23 Element: Water Weapon: Ribbon ARSENAL: SMG-3 (x2)
	The attendant to the local hot springs. Rilly is a carefree girl who loves to take life easy.

—Eladea— Cleric Love Level 3	STR: 14 DEX: 10 VIT: 23 MAG: 31 SPD: 16 LCK: 26 Element: Storm Weapon: Sacred Bow ARSENAL: OICW Smart Rifle
	Chief acolyte of the Goddess of Love. She takes her duties very seriously, her devotion knowing no bounds.

—Zabelle— Sorceress Love Level 3	STR: 8 DEX: 30 VIT: 17 MAG: 37 SPD: 12 LCK: 13 Element: Lightning Weapon: Branch ARSENAL: Mark XXV Beam Rail
	The local witch on the isle of Hollidae. She's a quiet and taciturn master of (some of) the forces of reality.

—Yuno— Apothecary	STR: 9 STR: 10 DEX: 11 DEX: 13 VIT: 10 VIT: 16 MAG: 12 MAG: 17 SPD: 8 SPD: 9 LCK: 9 LCK: 15 Weapon: Shears ARSENAL: God Arm .50 Sniper Rifle
	The most recent arrival on Hollidae, Yuno is still finding her bearings in a new and confusing home. She may be nervous here, but she still gives it her all! It seems she's managed to befriend herself an angel, from another world. Is this the start of something new?

—Goddess
of Love—

The wondrous goddess of Love (and other domains!)

Hollidae is her domain, an island that stories say she personally raised up from the bottom of the sea! The Goddess has nothing but Love for all her subjects, her Champion Jiro most of all.

One of her domains, as it happens, is of the weather. The sun, the rain, the storms. And when she gets emotional, she sometimes finds herself... losing control.

—Proteus—

The dark god himself, patron of hard work and toil. An immensely powerful magician, Proteus is disgusted by the ways of Hollidae and seeks to end their carefree days.

With the Goddess’ Love Champion missing, his assaults on the island are growing bolder.

The little angel. Watch her run! Watch her die. Over and over. Does she ever give up? Does she even know how?

In her yelping frustration she wanted it all to burn down, and she almost did. She's been so close. She could almost taste it.

Oh, what a delight! These girls have taken her in. They call her Nix, they act so sweet. And in return, why, she is so very very rude to them. Where are her manners?

This bastard has nothing, really. Nothing to give, nothing to take. He'll drive stakes under his nails over and over again and he'll convince himself this gives him power. Because he chose to do it, understand. He chose it. Nobody can take that from him.

And then they took that from him too.

The chain is short. The crab drags its sister down.

The light can never shine for long down here. The hands rise from the pit, just outside the gates, and they tear victory from your feeble jaw. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.

But where do the winding arms meet? Some pitiful creature, at the bottom of the pit. But it's free now. It plants flowers underneath an ever-shining sun, standing at the side of that grass-haired girl. It has a name now: Yadiel.

Look at this little one! Taken out to someplace else, to see the sun and stars. The sun, the stars? What are they, even? The chains are gone, and yet...

Allen, the man coos. A little plush he can cradle in his arms. Let him have this, just this. He can dream a little while longer.

Cliff Mason

HEALTH: 100
SHIELD: 100
ARSENAL: Pistol (x2), SMG-3, RVA-9 Assault Rifle, OICW Smart Rifle, Laser Magnum, Rammertone Model 70 Pump Shotgun, Avean Plasma Rifle, Wave Cannon, Hellion-Class Rotary Chaingun, BR7H4 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher, MYRIAS Heavy Particle Rail, Remote Mines, Grenades

—————————

Cliff Mason is the last hope for humanity. He fights against the forces of the interstellar Avean Empire, and will stop at nothing to defend his family back on Earth.

He's been up there, away from his wife and son, for a long time now. It's starting to wear on him. Cliff Mason was once the last hope from humanity, or so it seemed. But humanity has been beyond hope for a long time now.

Now? Now he's a man all alone. Luckily, he's found himself living inside his favorite game, Home Bound, surrounded by friendly animal folk.

That's good, right? That takes the sting out of learning everyone you've ever loved is dead? He’d started bonding with the younger Mundy, but the reappearance of old enemies and some heated arguments he's had now have him in a bit of a state.

Major Mercy

HEALTH: ??80
SHIELD: ??120
ARSENAL: ??XN-80 Reticulating Energy Cannon, Missile Barrage

—————————

Cliff Mason's mission control and his commanding officer on the field. She is a vital ally to Cliff, assigning him his objectives and providing him the information he needs to complete them.

When Earth was destroyed, Mercy was the only one of her colleagues who refused to lose hope. She held on.

She never told Cliff what happened to their homeworld. Maybe she couldn't bring herself to say it. Maybe she just wanted to use him. She kept sending him on pointless missions, week after week, year after year, until the lie could no longer hold itself aloft.

She'd resigned herself to being the last human left after that, but meeting Jiro and Polyta has given her now a strange kind of hope.

General Ribrax

HEALTH: 4000
SHIELD: 800
ARSENAL: Hardlight Halberd, Plasmablast Orbitar (x2), Avean Ultrabeam

—————————

The stalwart commander of the Avean military. Looming large in both stature and reputation, General Taysen Ribrax is feared and respected in equal measure all across the galaxy. The feeling is not mutual.

Her involvement in the disastrous campaign on the planet Earth remains the sole black mark on an otherwise unimpeachable record.

High Consul Squarck

HEALTH: 10
SHIELD: 90
ARSENAL: Monogrammed Light Pistol

—————————

The duly elected leader of the Avean Empire. She's the most powerful woman in the galaxy, at least for a little while.

Comato Squarck is warmly regarded among the Aveans for her irreverent charm, but recent controversies have put her polling numbers on shaky ground. She's seeking opportunities to shore up support.

Doctor Kree'zik

HEALTH: 150
SHIELD: 1200
ARSENAL: Lightning Cannon (x4), Avean Heat Ray

—————————

The head of an Avean research division. Xey would rather keep xeir nose in xeir experiments, but xey're employed by the military, and that means it's the military that approves xeir work.

Much as xey yearn to pursue xeir own interests, xey understand the responsibility of the Avean Command Structure. Those dreams are just flights of fancy.

Glard Gorpnan

HEALTH: 40
SHIELD: 0
ARSENAL: Avean Plasma Rifle...?

—————————

An Avean Grunt who was saved from obliteration at the hands of Cliff Mason, thanks to Coral's timely intervention. Otherwise inconsequential.

After a brief escapade in the world of Home Bound he was sent home via Zabelle's magic-in-a-bottle.

Avean Grunt

HEALTH: 40
SHIELD: 0
ARSENAL: Avean Plasma Rifle

—————————

Common foes. Rank-and-file of the Avean military. Low threat level.

Really easy to fool, apparently.

Avean Heavy

HEALTH: 180
SHIELD: 0
ARSENAL: Plasma Scatterbolter/Shoulder Mounted Macrorockets

—————————

Aveans equipped with heavy weapons. Formidable but slow.

Avean Captain

HEALTH: 50
SHIELD: 200
ARSENAL: Hardlight Blade

—————————

High ranking members of the Avean military. Highly agile and widely feared.

Avean Pilot

HEALTH: 50
SHIELD: 50
ARSENAL: Grenade Launcher

—————————

Airborne units that harrass from afar with explosive barrages. Take them out early.

Avean Engineer

HEALTH: 10
SHIELD: 0
ARSENAL: None

—————————

Technical workers for the Avean empire. They keep engines blasting and machinery humming along.

Cliff Mason killed one of these in cold blood, ostensibly to protect the world of Home Bound. Coral disagreed with his assessment of that situation.

Avean Scientist

HEALTH: 10
SHIELD: 0
ARSENAL: None

—————————

Researchers for the Avean Empire. They pose no real threat.
