NOTE: If you like my super hero characters, check out lace and grace . She is my friend who helped create that particular super hero world I use and together we created tons and tons of metahuman characters. You've seen two of her characters in some of my works already: Ronan and Durriken. Yeah, so she uses some of mine in her fiction and TRUST ME... we all know I'm not that great, but she? SHE IS AMAZING. SO GO READ HER WRITING. YOU'LL DIE AND FALL IN LOVE.
There are three stories on this account that do not occur in the same universe as the main group I will write of. These stories are: Apple, The Reign of Knox the First, and Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Now Floating in Space. Two stories combine characters from LaGWANFiS, and that is Collide and Nice to Meet You.
Sets O' Characters:
SuperEarth
This is your basic super hero Universe. It's known as Earth to everyone inhabiting it, and those who have any supernatural ability are usually called "metahumans" rather than mutants. It has no made up cities like in the DC universe and for the most part, it deals with naturally manifesting powers, not powers via items or alien technology. It's not that complicated yet.
This 'verse was created by myself and my good friend Lacey (see way above, first note) when we wanted to start our own RPG on Greatestjournal. It has since closed down for various reasons, but Lacey and I have continued writing novellas and one-shots for this 'verse. We have come a long way since our small RPG and everyday we make details of this 'verse more concrete, so that any of you reading will understand it that much more.
Mostly, though, we write for our own pleasure and practice. I understand complaints of confusion, and there are a few stories we are writing to help you all.. so, read my: "Welcome to Liberty Heights" and her "Liberty Heights: The Blog Project" and hopefully those will clear certain things up regarding characters, origins of places, future super hero teams and villains.
I'm going to attempt to make a clear Character List that will spell out how most characters relate to one another. The "Base" mentioned for each is what I used while in the RPG. I just wanted people to have a good visual outside of my own descriptions and arts. If you just don't give a flying flip, glide on down to the stories and have fun!
