The Cast

The hotshot. A champion gamer, crack shot, skilled problem-solver and powerful athlete, Marc is proudly protective of those less confident than he is. Which is nearly everyone.

The gadgeteer. A libertarian, Baxter has a keen grasp of technology and its tactical applications. He's still working on understanding people, especially women.

The puzzle-solver. A genius logician with eidetic memory, a Catholic Mexican immigrant, Hilda is difficult to know but passionate about the team and reliably honest in her criticisms.

The nice girl. Laura is friendly and sweet almost to a fault, brought into the group more as "a social balm" than for her relatively basic skill set.

The warrior. Di is Rumy's best and proudest student in the martial arts, but her aggression level is a bit worrying.

The copycat. Jesse is a supreme mimic, far more skilled than Will so skilled, in fact, that his true personality remains a mystery.

The engineer. Don't call her a "catgirl." Zaha is determined to be known for her considerable design skills, not her unique physiology.

The mystic. Lord Feral, AKA Evan Moss, has magical powers rooted in a deep understanding of the nature of reality. He can't relate well to those who don't share this understanding. But don't worry: you probably do.

The administrator. Head of AEGIS, Jared gives the Fans a free hand, stepping in only when necessary. A man of strong convictions, humility and duty.

The teleporters. Despite a close relationship with humanity, these teleporting, telepathic creatures still speak their own holographic "language" and play by their own rules. Two of them serve AEGIS. No one knows why.

The young soldier. Rico was groomed as Rikk's successor, then "reassigned" due to lack of imagination. That rankles him, but he continues to serve as a field agent.

The businesswoman. Meighan was a lesbian business major, unskilled at all forms of combat, often thinking with her checkbook or hormones. But the Club taught her to give.

The voice. A bubbly Britfan and actress, "Union" Jackie affected an accent and cheery demeanor, but her craving for attention almost consumed her. She left on a quest for self-improvement.

The math brain. Tim's best friend, Guth was an emotionally cool mathematician, moved to occasional passion by his cruel cousin Stu and the prospect of achievement.

The old soldier. Old enough to remember the days of First Fandom, Harry called on experience in three wars to help the Fans bring down a tyrant.

The barbarian. A thuggish fan of Conan novels and shoot-'em-up sci-fi, Stu had few evident good qualities until shortly before his heroic death.

The fan of fans. "Tim the Fanboy" followed the Fans' early adventures with almost religious zeal. Such excessive faith would prove unfortunate.
