Kane Gabaraty

General Kane Gabarty was the leader of the US Army Exotic Materiel Command (EXOMAT) a secretive wing of the US Military dedicated to acquiring mythical objects and finding ways to use them that were based at Fort Cadmus. He was also founder of the Warborn- a project within EXOMAT that sought to recruit members of Olympian bloodlines to be trained as super-soldiers- though secretly this was all part of his own planned invasion of Olympus.

## History

Gabaraty is the son of Ares by a woman from the Caucasus mountains who emigrated to America while pregnant. His rapid upwards mobility was likely facilitated by his dominant magnetism- Gabaraty was able to subconsciously exert his commanding presence to influence his peers and made for a natural choice for leadership positions. Likewise, he was a natural fit for EXOMAT despite his heritage being a closely guarded secret from his higher ups due to his aptitude and instant understanding of the resources and artifacts.

The Warborn was undone by the revealed betrayal of his close advisor the witch Perimede, who had secretly been using EXOMAT's resources to her own nefarious ends. When she was revealed by Hector and Nate she opened the portal Gabarty had intended to use to invade Olympus to create a gaping rift into Tartarus.

Gabarty fought alongside Nate and Hector to hold back the tide of monsters but he was pulled into the portal by the monstrous Hekatonkheires before Dorian Aldrich could close it. General Kane Gabarty is officially listed as MIA and many of EXOMAT's projects were written off as failures.

Gabarty was found by his father, Ares, in Tartarus and was given a second chance...
Pirate Pendulum

Pirate Pendulum is the newest member of the current iteration of the Carnival of Carnage, he has at several points indicated to the members of Team Hope that he doesn't enjoy maintaining his bit as a pirate- dropping the accent and not restricting himself to spinning when his teammates are incapacitated.

His metahuman power is a form of absorption and mimicry- his hands up to mid way along his arm can become the same material that he is touching. In his fighting as Pirate Pendulum this lends an extra solidness to the hits as his forearms and hands are solid steel like the anchor.

## Trivia

* Like the other members of the Carnival he is themed around an attraction- he's based on the Pirate Ship.
* His power has never been observed directly in-game
Team Hope

Team Hope is a team of students from Atlas Academy. Originally formed from the two members of Team Freedom still at Atlas and the new student Beacon, it's current iteration is identical to the old team but with Kid Spectacular as leader instead of Loxley.

### Saving Atlantis

Following a tip from Luther Sanderson about the Cult of Apophis, Team Hope was dispatched along with Team Harmony and Blueshift to Atlantis. Here they met King Khoral and Princess Ruvanna. The initial attack was a psychic wave that controlled a majority of the Atlantean guard causing chaos in both Atlantis and the Surface City. Along with the Hyperborean brothers, Bo and Jorek, they managed to subdue the mind controlled guards and de-escalated tensions between the young heroes and the hot-headed brothers. Using a scrying tool, it soon became clear to King Khoral that the danger was beneath the waves and not on the Surface as Sanderson had warned. He found that the source of the crisis was an old enemy of Atlantis, Sea Witch. He commanded Kid Spectacular to watch over and protect his daughter, as his psychic powers would protect him from Sea Witch's control, so the King would know she was safe. He then selected a team from the heroes and his remaining men that had most impressed him during the initial chaos- he selected Fahrenheit, Bo, Jorek and Cascade. Ironhide insisted that Loxley go with Fahrenheit to watch his back, King Khoral dismissed Loxley as entirely useless underwater with his bow and called Ironhide out of touch for both this decision and the decision to trust Sanderson at his word (as the attack was not focused on the Surface CIty as Sanderson had warned). The Cult had allied with Sea Witch to take control of the sea serpent, Sarkorax. But their ultimate aim was to sink the Surface City and destabilise relations between Atlantis and the surface nations by attacking the athletes in the Olympic village.
Ludovico Nofri Albarenno

Ludovico Nofri Alberenno was the Alchemist who created the homunculus Piccolo Adamo. He sought to achieve eternal life by locking himself in a metal sarcophagus that was hermetically sealed bar for two metal pipes that lead deep into the caves beneath Rome where he believed he could tap into the "Gas Vitale". Unfortunately for him, the so-called gas vitale mentioned by the natural philosophers of Rome had been based on reports from people who had seen rogue Avernal spirits possess and control corpses in the catacombs- not a gas that grants eternal life.
Revenant of Devil's Creek

The Revenant of Devil's Creek was the first solo campaign for Hector, working in his new capacity as apprentice to the Master Mage, Dorian Aldrich, Hector helps investigate a huge spike of magical energy coming from a small town in Arizona called Devil's Creek. Hector had to make new allies to face a fearsome foe, while the Master Mage rested after visiting the dentist.
Lánurú

Lánurú (pronounced Law-nuh-roo) is a Fomorian warrior and roguish schemer. He has the supernatural power to control darkness- using his Eclipse staff as a focal point.

## History

### Reclaimers

Lánurú first appeared leading his Fomorian brethren at the American Museum of Natural History- accompanied by Horc, Laird and the lurkers during their mission to reclaim the Eye of Balor. Unfortunately for the Fomorians, Kid Spectacular was at the museum as a guest of honour thanks to his parents recent donation of treasures from their exploration of the Atlantic ocean. Kid Spectacular was able to repel the invaders and Lánurú and Horc fled, leaving Laird behind on Earth. After this Lánurú lost his standing amongst his brethren and was forced to hand over leadership to Lárgluin.

### Avernus

The Fomorian Invaders, under the new leadership of Lárgluin, set their sights on Avernus attempting to sway or coerce Mantus to aid their goal. After Lárgluin succeeded in tricking the Infernal God he sent Lánurú and Horc with a legion of lurkers to suppress any dissent of the native avernals. It was during this mission they came across Avaea's shrine, the gateway to Earth through which many avernals had fled and sought refuge. They dedicated a number of their force to protecting the site but Lánurú, ever the schemer, allowed Bo and Jorek to pass through to the palace unthreatened so that they might bring about an end to Lárgluin's success. Lánurú filled the throne room with darkness to rescue his fellow invaders but left Lárgluin behind to the mercy of Mantus

## Powers, Abilities & Equipment

### Darkness Manipulation

Lánurú has the power to create, shape and manipulate darkness. He can tap into a dimensional reserve of 'dark energy' that he can blast at enemies or use to enhance his sword

### Eclipse Staff

The Eclipse Staff allows Lánurú much more control and allows him to summon forth more power than he is normally able to- for example he was able to cut the American Museum of Natural History off from the rest of New York with a solid shadow dome.

### Lánurú's Black Blade

Lánurú's sword can also be used as a focal point for his dark gift, channelling the energy into huge sweeping strikes with the blade's edge
Sarsuaq

Sarsuaq (also known as Lopthaven) is a small town in Greenland close to where Bo and Jorek first touched down on Earth.

## History

### Desperate Times

The native tribes of the region were fighting against Viking settlers, and losing. The elders of the tribes asked a powerful shaman to summon Kigatilik and ask for his aid- he grants it and quickly dooms the Viking settlements in the area. But when it comes time to pay the price the elders balk at the idea of sacrificing all of the villages children. Instead they meet in secret with the few Vikings that have survived and agree to work together to defeat the beast. The Viking warriors and their own witch work with the shaman and protect the two long enough for them to bind Kigatilik to a charm that is separated into three parts- one protected with the tribe (which would be seized and buried under the church when Christian missionaries come to the town and condemn the native religion as heathenry), one buried at sea in a Viking longboat funeral and another in a burial mound.

### Kigatilik's Awakening

The piece buried beneath the church is discovered by Father Gabriel Jørgensen who slowly and unwittingly sinks under Kigatilik's influence- and through the pastor the beast gets it's black claws into the denizens of the town. When another piece is found by anthropology professor, Asmus Knudsen, at the burial mound, Gabriel is compelled to kill the professor and steal the piece for himself but he is unable to find where the professor has hidden it.

Kigatilik intended to rejoin the three pieces of the charm, kill everyone in Sarsuaq (distant relatives of the ones who had trapped him) and then free himself. He was stopped by the intervention of the earth spirit Sangilak and the Hyperborean brothers Bo and Jorek
Jorek/Extras

## In-Universe

**Jorek's farewell letter to Josephine**

My Josephine,

The only one that has truly known my heart,
I couldn’t dare to say goodbye to you in person, it would break me more than I could imagine.

I know it isn’t possible for us to ever be together, but I enjoyed pretending that it was possible.

Please don’t ever forget what I suggested, if ever you wanted my heart and me, I would drop everything for you and we can journey forever.

If ever you are in trouble, I will be there for you and you can always rely on me.

I know my brother believes we will see each other again, but I know, with how life is and what destiny has in store for us, that there is a strong possibility that may never happen.

You are and always be the one true storm to grasp my heart and I will never let that go.

Yours now and forever,

Your Storm King
Protoverse

Protoverse is the name of the timeline that existed before Ironhide was sent into the past to stop the Route's rewriting of history- which revealed the Protoverse to be a time loop caused by the Route sending agents back to soften Earth up in the first place. *This timeline no longer exists*.

It is referred to as the Protoverse from a meta-narrative point of view, having been not referred to in-universe at all so far. The original campaign was called Superlads and the setting, tone and story was very different to the current iteration of the Superverse.

Metahumans were an emerging phenomena- occurring for the first time in the 2010s in the Protoverse timeline- due to the actions of MOCHA and Route agents in the past neutralising metahumans and controlling populations to prevent the metagene from manifesting.

## Trivia

* I learned a lot about what NOT to do ever again from this campaign
* A few characters got recycled into the new universe/timeline but in different forms to fit the new tone of the setting I wanted to establish. Ironhide and Remi are the only characters that made it through the time rift but even they are quite different from the characters they were
* In the image included one of the villains, second from the right, never even showed up. I just really liked the way her design came out so added it to the collection. Neither did the armoured guy next to her, he's there for the same reason- and because I did intend to use him before the finale.
* Also featured in the collection is the design for the Lotus' generic mooks
Atlantis

Atlantis is an underwater kingdom of ancient heritage located deep under the Atlantic Ocean. The people of Atlantis are very proud, and they don't usually interact with outsiders. Many consider themselves superior beings compared to surface dwellers because of how long their civilisation has existed in peace. While there has been contact between various surface-dweller cultures over time, none ever came close enough to discover what lies below sea level. Until the Spectacular Squad "discovered" them in the nineties- since then Atlantis has been slowly opening avenues to outside contact.

Atlantis is ruled by King Khoral, an imperious man considered by many in Atlantis to be a good man and a strong king. He is not considered a good king by traditionalists and isolationists for his role in actively opening communications with the savage and warlike United Nations.

## Visitors to Atlantis

There have been very few surface world visitors to Atlantis and the Atlantean authorities are select about who they allow. The following is a list of every surface worlder to visit (as an official guest or otherwise)

* The Spectacular Squad (Mr Spectacular, Mirage, Deep Dive and Captain Alloy)
* Maxim Challenger
* Devil Ray and his crew (including Diego Diaz)
* Hercules
* Cultists of Apophis (brought in by Sea Witch)
* Dread Captain Fane (brought in by Sea Witch)
* Loxley
* Fahrenheit
* Bo
* Jorek
* Nemo

Iron Bull II

Atticus Tate is the current owner of the Minotaur power armour, current bearer of the Iron Bull alias and a former UNISON agent.

## History

### Origin

Young Atticus never knew his father and his mother refused to talk about the man. When he was young he imagined his father as many things- some good and some bad- but he never knew the truth. His mother was a cop in a nice neighbourhood and growing up he was never troubled over his skin. Then as a teen he and some friends went on a holiday to a lake, local P.D. made their weekend hell just because they could. Because he looked different. He learned that they couldn't be trusted but also that they had something he desperately wanted- power. He joined the police with a leg-up from his mother and worked his way up until he was offered the opportunity to join UNISON. All while an awful series of accidents befell the racist cops who'd tormented him as a teen- car accidents, severe allergic reactions and a number of undercover operations revealed after some rookie blundered a file.

Working at UNISON Atticus saw a lot of opportunities to make money and connections on the side- but this was indirect power. One day he was approached with an opportunity- he was told how he could acquire power for himself in exchange for services rendered. Atticus readily agreed- stealing the Minotaur armour from The Anchor and joining Sanderson's ZODIAC as the next TAURUS.

### ZODIAC

As a member of Sanderson's ZODIAC the new Iron Bull was sent on their acquisition missions as muscle, often hitting the high tech labs of Sanderson's competitors. During the city of killers he remained loyal to Sanderson but was unwilling to risk critical damage to the suit and escaped when he was attacked by Rex before taking irreparable damage.

### New Employment

Iron Bull lead a team of villains to attack the Armstrong Hotel while it was hosting a business conference for the four major corporations interested in rebuilding Seattle. Team Hope intervened but Iron Bull escaped with whatever it was he was after.

Iron Bull was later seen along with other villains working for ANIMA in a warehouse at the docks that Darkbolt lead Team Hope to.
Xan Jacobsen

Xan Jacobsen was born in 2100 in San Francisco, California in an alternate future rife with inequality. He grew up in a wealthy family sheltered from the realities of his time until his parents were murdered and he was framed for their deaths. While avoiding the authorities he met many rebels and intellectuals who had to hide from the repressive ONE Government, here he learned of the spark of hope the rebels held on to- Time Travel. The government kept a tight control over any and all information about time travel even the use of the trope in works of art and culture were heavily censored.

Xan couldn't run forever and after he was captured he was thrown into the oubliette- here for the next two years he developed his time travel theory. After escaping he put his theory into practise- heading for the early 21st century to fight the Illuminati as the superhero 'Tomorrow Man'. After he believed his work was done he travelled back to his time, or tried to, but it seemed he was trapped in the 21st century as the 22nd century was either locked or had simply... vanished.

Tomorrow Man's actions went from being methodical to erratic and he was approached by Ironhide who had identified the pattern as a fellow time traveller. Xan explained his situation and Ironhide gave him an offer, a different way to direct the future- by shaping the young minds of the next generation's superheroes. He teaches U.S. History and the importance of learning from the past to prevent the creeping spread of authoritarianism.
Brandon Grey

Brandon Grey is the youngest son of Doctors Richard and Jacqueline Grey- who are better known as Mr Spectacular and Mirage. Brandon's older brother is Kid Spectacular. With so many heroes in the family Brandon expected big things from his life but he is just normal. Mundane. He's given up hope that one day his powers will kick in.

Though he'd rather be kicking ass with his brother or exploring alien worlds with his father, Brandon enjoys playing video games and hanging out with his friends at the mall. Like a normal teen.

Leonardo L'inventore

* Costumed
* Unmasked

Born Enzo Leonardo Ferrante though better known to Rome through his secret identity Leonardo L'inventore, sometimes known as The Inventor or Leonardo da Roma.

He uses gadgets themed around da Vinci's inventions and renaissance Italy like his canvas wings (which are actually made of a bulletproof nanoweave) and his mechanical wrist-mounted launchers. He wears a fake beard as part of his costume- it gets itchy.

## History

### Origin

He was born into a wealthy family and while still a young boy witnessed his parents brutal murder at the hands of the mafia, on that day something inside him broke and he would often retreat into his own fantasies where he was an inventor during the renaissance alongside his personal hero Leonardo da Vinci. As he grew older he dedicated body and mind to self-improvement until he took on the mantle of The Inventor- Leonardo of Rome a costumed hero who would protect the streets of Rome from organised crime and supervillainy.

### Seven Deadly Sins

When the Seven Deadly Sins attacked the Vatican the Inventor joined the fight alongside the brothers Bo and Jorek. After the fight they all went for gelato and crashed at Leonardo's huge house where he lives alone. They left Piccolo Adamo with him and now the house is more alive every day.
The Templar Tome of Brother Lanslet

A tome written by Brother Lanslet, a member of the Knights Templar. It describes his journeys to the holy land and his participation in the war against Egypt. It mentions the Divine Arms, the fortress where it was being protected and it's use in the siege of Alexandria against Saladin's forces- where it summoned a storm that held back Saladin but equally prevented the crusaders from escaping on their ships.

Brother Lanslet eventually escaped the siege, though he did not know the ultimate fate of the weapon- whether it remained in the hands of the fleeing Templars or was captured by Saladin.

Brother Lanslet would lead a complicated life after this point- mystified by the existence of divine power he would start research into darker subjects such as witchcraft and demonology. Strictly for academic purposes- to learn how best to counter them. Eventually he came to know of a portal between Earth and the realm of Inferno and he steeled himself to uncovering whatever truths may be...

The book was in the library of Lord Mantus until he gave it to the brothers, Bo and Jorek as thanks for saving his realm.
Metalmark

### Costume

black armoured suit with bright cyan lights (very TRON-like), cyan hard-light butterfly wings

Horc

Horc is the brutish, porcine Fomorian warrior who follows Lánurú with unquestioning- or perhaps more aptly *unthinking-* loyalty. In combat he likes to charge through the enemy with an unexpected swiftness for maximum impact.

## History

### Reclaimers

Horc first appeared with his fellow Fomorian brethren at the American Museum of Natural History- accompanying Lánurú, Laird and the lurkers they brought as back-up during their mission to reclaim the Eye of Balor. Unfortunately for the Fomorians, Kid Spectacular was at the museum as a guest of honour thanks to his parents recent donation of treasures from their exploration of the Atlantic ocean. Kid Spectacular was able to repel the invaders and Lánurú and Horc fled, leaving Laird behind on Earth.
After this Lánurú lost his standing- but the loyal Horc continued to follow the ambitious young Fomorian.

### Avernus

The Fomorian Invaders, under the new leadership of Lárgluin, set their sights on Avernus attempting to sway or coerce Mantus to aid their goal. After Lárgluin succeeded in tricking the Infernal God he sent Lánurú and Horc with a legion of Lurkers to suppress any dissent of the avernals. It was during this mission they came across Avaea's shrine, the gateway to Earth through which many avernals had fled and sought refuge. They dedicated a number of their force to protecting the site but Lánurú, ever the schemer, allowed Bo and Jorek to pass through to the palace unthreatened so that they might bring about an end to Lárgluin's success. Horc didn't understand why they weren't fighting the newcomers but followed orders as instructed.
U-Virus

U-Virus was a one-off Superhero Zombies campaign set in an alternate dimension to the main Hero High campaign

On the 1st of March 2020, a portal opens up above Earth. The next day Ultiman returns from his extra-dimensional adventures through the portal and plummets down to Earth leaving a crater in Central Park- the first responders and witnesses on scene all become afflicted with a mysterious new disease over the course of a couple days. In the meantime Ultiman is in a comatose state, unable to be woken and suffering an insanely high fever- his longtime friend Mr Spectacular is called to head a UNISON medical research lab. Over the next few days large rocks come through the portal at all times of the day and are dragged down all over the planet by gravity.

This new disease spreads. Quickly. Designated the **U-Virus** cases are confirmed across the globe and within weeks the official estimates are between 40-80% of the global population infected. Mr Spectacular tirelessly works to bring out a vaccine that is speedily delivered to frontline health workers & essential/important people (including Atlas Academy). Not long after the vaccine is rolled out, the first death happens. The Virus that up until now had been relatively harmless is adapting, changing quickly. It seems to now be actively trying to kill the host. More than that though are strange psychological symptoms. Irrational paranoia and aggression largely. With the infected death toll quickly rising the unthinkable happens- the first case of an inoculated individual catching the virus through a bite. After a few more similar reports policy is instructed to change but as the bodies start piling up at hospitals and at homes the system is brought to its knees.

At a UNISON research facility in upstate New York, three UNISON agents Ivarsson, Saito and Evans are called to investigate the sudden lack of radio contact- believing that maybe a villain has breached the facility to obtain vaccines for themself or to sell. Instead what they find is much more horrifying- those that have died of the virus animated by a strange power and eager to infect or devour the unfortunate agents...

Meanwhile at Atlas Academy- Loxley, KS and Firestorm lament with Gecko and Kid Thunder that they have been under curfew for a long time and unable to go anywhere- the virus hasn't evolved here yet but it will. Soon they realise that despite the vaccinations a majority of the staff are infected and they are chased through the school by an infected Captain Alloy and a few other infected students. Loxley and Firestorm are able to get into Mal's Bunker but KS is bitten and sacrifices himself for his friends.

## Trivia

* In this timeline Loxley either never betrayed the school's location to Hammurabi or otherwise decided against leaving as he is attending Atlas during the second year spring
* First appearance of a parallel Ultiman- jokingly accused of woke recasting (this Ultiman is asian not white)
Horus

Horus is the son of Osiris and Isis. He is also known as "the one who sees all" or "the great eye". He was born in Egypt but later became a god of the sky and leader of the gods, casting out his uncle Seth. His left eye is the moon and his right the sun. The power of the Egyptian gods is limited outside of their native Egypt (and the Gods are sworn not to interfere with mortal affairs) but Horus has aided Bo and Jorek on their quest to find the First Weapon and prepared them against the ancient enemy of our universe: Apophis.
Fort Cadmus

Fort Cadmus is the main base of operations of the US Military secretive EXOMAT command, it was formerly the staging ground for General Gabarty's Warborn as part of his plan to invade Olympus.

As part of his preparations Gabaraty was recruiting, indoctrinating and training young demigods while the sorceress Perimede drained older demigods of their ichor through dialysis. Two of these potential recruits, Nate and Hector, were partially responsible for the collapse of this plan; after they exposed Perimede's true intentions she sabotaged Gabaraty's portal and redirected it into Tartarus. Swarms of underworld monsters swarmed into the surface creating chaos in the base, Hector, Nate and Gabaraty had to work together to stop the monstrous giant- the Hekatonkheires. Gabraty was pulled into the portal before it was closed by Dorian Aldrich.

## Base Facilities

Ares is ambitious and impulsive and does not stand on good terms with most of the other members of the Pantheon- with the exception of Aphrodite and perhaps his mother. In particular he considers Athena his rival in the twelve as his opposite in war.

Ares hates his father, who often reminds Ares of his place through humiliation, and perhaps this spite is what fuels him to try to be a good father to his own many children. Ares is the patron of the Amazons.

Ares saved his son Kane Gabaraty from Tartarus after the events of Divine Intervention, promising his son another chance to invade Olympus.
Carnival of Carnage

Book of Magick

> But a thing can't have that much magic and knowledge contained without becoming something else, something more. The Book of Magick is in some ways alive and it chooses it's wielder.
>
> Jack Magick to Loxley

The Book of Magick is a collection of spells and rituals compiled by generations of Marjich family mages. It contains everything they've learned about magic, including the secrets behind some of their most powerful artifacts. It's said that whoever possesses this book can wield all the powers of the Marjich family however the truth is more complicated as the book contains so much magical knowledge that it has developed a consciousness of it's own and will reject any but the true scion of the Marjich family. The book itself is sentient and capable of speaking to its owner, though it prefers to remain silent unless spoken to directly.

The book is currently in the possession of Jack Magick but is deeply coveted by his sister, Malice Magick who considers herself the rightful heir to the power.
Sangilak

Sangilak is technically an earth spirit. Generally speaking, however, he spends his time underwater to be closer to his lover- the guardian of Adlivun. He remains on land only when necessary such as when summoned by a shaman or to help restore balance.

When Kigatilik returned to exact his vengeance on the people of Sarsuaq and break his binding, Sangilak intervened and aided the Hyperboreans Jorek and Bo. He held back the corrupted townspeople and helped contain Kigatilik within the church while the brothers attacked his corporeal form.
Ironhide

* The Principal
* Ironhide

Ironhide is the principal of Atlas Academy and a founding member of the Alliance of Heroes. Secretly he is an alternate Marcus Jeffords from a timeline where the Route invaded Earth. Together with the help of Remi, an AI from his timeline now better known as Control, he has dedicated his life in this new timeline to stopping the tragedies of his own- including stopping the secret anti-metahuman program that prevented superheroes from appearing in his timeline until the 2000s. To this end Ironhide prevented the assassination of a baby that came from another dimension and made sure the boy was raised by good parents.

As he changed the new timeline over and over he soon realised his knowledge of what was to come was now useless- the Earth was in capable hands for now at least- and so now he dedicates his time to Atlas Academy training the next generation of superheroes.

## Trivia

* Ironhide is a player character from the previous campaign who in the finale travelled back in time to stop the time loop the alien invaders had set up so that they could control Earth
* This Ironhide has lived an extra 50 years (he ages slower due to his enhanced physiology) and has changed a great deal from the Ironhide of that world

Gavin Lovera considers history to be a bore. Unfortunately for him, his mom is taking him to hs history loving uncle's antique shop. It is a drag on Gavin so he asks his uncle what was in the small safe. His uncle gives him vague information, saying the man who made it was rumored to be a cultist who did horrible things. But while his uncle goes to watch the Lost Gold of World War Two, Gavin tries to test the theory if the gum can take you through time. And it did. Gavin finds himself in 1934 after spoting a penny on the floor and how different people were dressed. He believes he's on a prank show, but scraps that thought after seeing a man being beaten. After the thugs leave the guy, a man in a mascot suit (Wilbur) gives him candy and Gavin remarks that he looks ridiculous. The mascot then turns his head and Gavin runs through the portal. After it shrinks back into it's original gum form Gavin presuades his uncle to let him keep the gum that took him to 1934 (the year now written in a blood red). He introduces his friend Marty to the portal which makes Marty utterly confused. So Gavin explains how he plans to buy loads of candy in 1934, and he got the money from Rike. However they spend most of it for other kids who were left in the candy store while their parents meet Jessica Balise. She then appears to split the candy evenly between the boys and the kids. The kids appear to have a fondness for her, and the cashier has an excessive fondness for her. As Gavin and Marty are heading back with a decent amount of candy in their hands Gavin sees the mascot take the place of Jessica Balise. Though it uses her voice to scold the cashier, and it then turns slowly towards Gavin causing him to flee.
Clover Cartman

"Oh come on guys! Don't you have disappreances to cover?"
-Clover telling off the news teams outside of school

An Important Location

The Silly Sahara was the first restaurant opened by Russel Cartman and David Gavoni. The animatronics on stage were Brian the Bobcat, Harvey Hippo, Gina the Giraffe, Suu the Spider, and the Marty Mosquitoes. It was also the location of Archie Gavoni's death. The disaster happened after Archie's bullies were assulting him. The security systems put into Brian the Bobcat were faulty at the time, so Brian thought there were people breaking in and getting into a fight with each other. Brian then lept off of the stage causing the bullies to flee resulting in Archie being impaled by the claws of Brian and eventually die. It is referanced by Clover in Gears and Blood as well as being the setting for one of her dreams. It is also one of the primary locations in The Hunt Begins. Though the Apex unit wasn't up on stage during the time of the Silly Sahara's open period it is implied by the automated voice that announced it's arrival that it may have been planned to be a performing unit sometime in the future.
The Yellowater Prisoner Case (YPC)

The Yellowater Prisoner Case (or the YPC) is the hostile abduction of three criminals and one juvenile delinquent from the Yellowater Institute in Ohio on October 31st, 1994. The abduction took place at midnight, with only a small night shift on defense. A hole was blown into the side of the wall and soliders stormed through slaughtering the night shift. Only one member of the night shift survived, claiming the soliders were lead by a man wearing a cult-like robe with a belt that had two purple slits that looked to be eyes printed on it. "I watched them from a distance" the guard said "They were using my dead friends blood to write something on the floor. Couldn't see much past that small window" The other prisioners had no memory of the attack, leading many to think they were drugged. The message made in blood was "Thanks for the monsters. Will spare you guys" The prisioners names are as follows: Chris Obri, Alexandra Bevoar, Janette Repar, and Alice Bovola. Chris was a girthy, balding man who was fed imitation Flesh in the prison to keep calm. His stay was the longest of the other three. Alexandra was once a woman of unrealistic Beauty, but in prison that beauty was lost. Her hair lost it's puffyness, her skin became plain, and she had a habit of barfing at things she considered to be unsavory in the Institute. Janette's time in prison was the shortest, she was between the ages of 19 and 20 before being kidnapped. She had long flowy hair and skin she kept smooth with other's hearts. For the other prisoners safety she was locked in solitary confinement and only people over the ages of 29 were allowed to treat her. Alice came a year before Janette and was of Spanish descent. She was skinny, had long hair, as well as a reputation for making pornographic graffiti and kicking others in the balls. She went after guards, and once they got cufts she went after prisoners. She was then given a dummy to kick, with milk inside the bottom to make it feel realistic.
Junk Squids

¨I consider them like me, outcasts who do their best to defend themselves.¨
-Levi explaining why we took the Junk Squids under his care.

The Junk Squids are the security system for Levi´s hideout who patrol 24/7 before taking breaks to recharge.

They look an awful lot like streched out squids but with scraps making up half of their body and their heads looking like a sabertooth tiger. The only difference being the lack of whiskers. They appear to be able to withstand the conditions of corrupted creation like Enhanced Creation possibly signifying a connection between them genetically.

Other then them being relentless, powerful, but secretly kind nothing much is known about these creatures personalities. Though Levi remarked on them being like him this could be a metaphorical stance as per them being rejected experiments.

They first appeared in Chapter 17 of Gears and Blood as obstacles towards Clover and her friends path to answers when one steals the eyes Percy had acquired. Clover tries to retrieve the eyes but they prove to be formidable foes. However, every time they kill her she sees images of an important event so she allows them to kill her a little more before having a complete picture. When one pierces Clover´s shield they are sent flying by the explosion coming from Clover. The next chapter they are revealed to be fine but very angry (as one of them recieved a big scar by Clover´s attack). When the survivors of the supply grab teams arrive the Junk Squids are quick to bring them in. Once plans are made to get back at David and save Fritz and Greg from trouble they wave goodbye with their tentacles. The one who recieved the scar jumps in to help at the last minute invading David from inside the Krazy Kat suit and piercing through him in multiple places killing him slowly.

The only reference to them in the Hunt Begins was when it was revealed the Hybrid animatronics were made up of their flesh implying David had them murdered. The one scarred was also the one in Hybrid Billy, so it shows restraint in trying to kill Clover. It then becomes a part of the amalgamation made from the Hybrid Flesh to which is killed by Fritz when attempting to kill his brother Lars.
Gavin Lovera

"Whatever, Miss Mchee"
Gavin taunting his friend Marty
Gavin Lovera is the main protagonist of ChewTime Calamities. He is a 14 year-old boy with frosted tips and wears a light blue jacket most likely in an effort to stand out amongst others. Based on the Star Wars shirt he wore to his uncle's antique shop he enjoys movies. Gavin's personality is deceptive and mischievious as he's fooled his family many times and pulls off pranks in 1934 with Marty. He's also been known to keep things he sees and thinks to himself as well as spend more time with Marty than with family, making him isolated from them. Though deep inside he really cares for them and others too as he is emotionally distressed when his uncle is captured and Michelle is killed. His activites and strong connection with Marty points out to the fact that he considers Marty to be a father figure for him. As his real father has been hospitalized for a unknown amount of time. They often joke around and sometimes engage in comedic actions towards each other. Even though Gavin finds it upsetting to have to throw away a great thing for someone else when Marty says they should he listens anyway as seen when they buy the 1934 kids some candy. He isn't inclined to talk with his therapist Dr. Lucas Fitzgerald. Most liekly because he isn't the type of person who openly reveals private thoughts and feelings. Nevertheless, Dr. Fitzgerald tries to the best of his ability to improve Gavin's day to day life.
