An explanation of the Karaverse

The term “Karaverse” was coined by my best friend, Nick Vorlage, to refer to the world portrayed in my comic books and related stories. The world portrayed is a more fantastic version of our world influenced by media such as folktales, children’s stories, comic books, and cartoons/anime. It is populated by not just ordinary people and animals, but also talking animals, animal people, aliens, alien animals, hybrids between aliens and Earth animals, and monsters such as were-beasts, dragons, gargoyles, and goblins. A number of characters have superpowers, with some developing powers naturally and others developing powers due to supernatural means, environmental factors, freak accidents, or scientific experimentation. There are also some devices, objects, and armored suits that can grant the users powers such as teleportation, poison detection, fear inducement, and flight, and in addition there are some special weapons that can cut through steel, fire energy beams, or induce effects such as weakness or sleep. Main characters are equally likely to be armed with ray guns, swords, or gas guns. The majority of the population does not have dealings with the more fantastic elements, but most are aware of at least some of them. Some heroes, anti-heroes, and villains work independently while others form groups. Threats to the heroes and the public at large range from would-be conquerors, genocidal maniacs, and mad scientists to street-level thugs, thieves, smugglers, and con artists. Elements such as hypnotism, mental illness, and addiction are common.
