Suggestion Box 2: The Program
Ok, people, I think we need to start keeping track of the charachters in the story, so people not familiar with them can write to include them. I'll start with a few.<P>The Librarian: From the Diskworld series by Terry Pratchet. A wizard who worked in the library of the Unseen University, untill he got turned into an orangatang. Kept his job at the library. Extremely strong due to being an orangutang, he can communicate in "ooks", guestures, and scrabble sets. Well versed in the ways of L-Space, a form of hyper-space that connects all libraries and old-fashioned book stores. Mission: To figure out what's going on so he can safely return through L-Space to the library. <P>Try-Any-Tee and Neold (or whatever I called him)
Alter-reality versions of Trinity and Neo form The Matrix. Basicly, hackers able to perform extreme physical feets. Neold may have flight capability.Both of them have "Guns. Lots of guns." and will have a reflex desire to attack any agents, even if they're human agents for FIB. Mission: Find some way of destroying the master computer in their home universe, which may/does require Nodrog's ultimate weird theory. <P>Friday: Based on Friday from the novel of the same name by Robert Heinlein. Super strong, super fast, and has super senses. Was in the first Auxilerated as a bit part. May be a physical match for Miller and Sully. Mission: Be a good cop without revealing her abilities as an engineered human.<P>John-Boy and Shara-a Con-Air: John and Sarah Conner from the Terminator series. Access to weapons, survival skills, and John-Boy has hacker skills. Mission: Destroy Hair-Net in the future. <P>More data to follow, I hope.

Further Glosses:<P>Fuchikoma: six-legged tanklike vehicle (resembles a huge spider) created by Masamune Shirow in his story "Ghost in the Shell". (They were more common in the manga than in the anime, but the anime version looks cooler because it was redesigned by Macross/Wings of Honneamise mecha craftsman Shoji Kawamori.) In "GITS", it belonged to Section Six, a secret wing of the Japanese State Department.<P>Dotty's Diner: based upon a real-like diner in Pennsylvania (Scotty's, in the vicinity of Etna) and named after the character "Dotty" of Star Tec.<P>SoF^2: The replacement for the Satellite of Fans. It is now in orbit, but currently not crewed. It's main engine was reverse engineered from the reality-warping smile of "College Roomies From Hell!!!"'s Mike Green.<P>Fish Chum: Bits and pieces of fish that are being used as bait after being deemed unfit for human consumption.
And still more data:<P>D-police: transdimensional law enforcement agency. They enforce their own legal system in as many dimensions as they can feasably reach, usually when the offense affects on of their citizens. They are currently seeking Raidens arrest over a murder one of his characters committed in a D&D game. (arguably self defense) By their laws, he is guilty by proxy, and sentenced to be executed.<P>The only reason Raiden has managed to stay uncaptured is that by an interesting quirk of social psychology, the D-police cannot comprehend resisting a superior force of opponents. Usually a squad will attack, Raiden fights back, and the officers will be stricken immobile with surprise until it's too late.<P>Due to differences in their energy signatures, the D-police need a chrono-torsion dampener to remain in an alternate dimension for more than a few seconds. If it is destroyed they snap back into place, just like the Crapshooter from the beginning of the story.<P>(I thought I had better explain this before someone got the wrong idea about the hints I was dropping.)

OK, my turn!<P>Miller and Sully:
The agents turned vampires from the Fans! comic itself! They have been away from the FIB for a few years now. They've been on many adventures including their involvement with Auxilerated (where they had Thck delete their information from the FIB database). They have also had time to develop classic vampire powers but nothing too extrordinary.<P>Mulder and Skully (or Scully as I wrote it, oops):
Not just the X-Files characters, but specifically the characters which interacted with the CRFH universe at the end of the Misery Journey. Hence the fact they were on that highway in the middle of the night.<P>The van-fans:
Introduced by FPilot (I believe) I turned them into bad ripoffs of the Trio members in the latest season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Rather skilled in magic and super tech but too juvenile to put their knowledge to really good use.<P>EDG, Radical, and Greg:
The Gaming Guardians, see the link that FPilot posted.<P>The Neenja:
Also known as the followers of Olidammara, the Neenja are an elusive and secretive bunch that were "hired" by the same people as the crapshooters. The Mistress, their leader, plans on double crossing them and using the 23-Sider of power (or The Talisman of Chaos as she calls it) for her own ends. Olidammara is a god in the Greyhawk campaign setting of D&D, it is the god of trickery. The Neenja are made up of many different types of goblins recruited from all over the multiverse. More on them later.<P>University Town:
The town that CRFH takes place in. Also the home of the MRFH RPG threads (see the Keenspot boards) that I was involved in once. Tom and EDG are hiding out there in the hopes of misleading the crapshooters' allies away.If this town has an actual name I'd love to know it.<P>The SOF Crash site:
The second time the SOF fell from the sky (or never took off again in the first place depending on which ending of Auxilerated you read) this is where it went. Strudenberry fields is partially and attempt to over lay Billberg on the site to avoid any more interaction with the SOF. However, until the SOF^2 is operational the original SOF remains exposed to the surface at various but noticable locations.<P>I'm currently talking to some MRFH people to get more ideas on what to do with EDG and Tom until Greg calls them. I yanked them out to buy me time but I still want to play with the rest of the group so we shouldn't be long.<P>------------------

Looks like the thread is back to ABnormal. You can still post, but it takes some creative use of the "Refresh" function on your browser for the posts to show up.<P>Nodrog has made two successful posts...but one of them went in the thread four times.<P>Just be patient...we shall see it all sorted out soon.

Seems to me that this fanfic is broken beyond all repair. We have too many characters to handle and not enough regular posters. Ted, Scott and Penny all got the short end of the stick, and with Tom off on a tangent, it's getting difficult to manage this.<P>I apologize to everybody.

Updates/Explanations:
Alisin's fugitive status: This is for the man she strangled in the flashback sequence of the webcomic (telling Rikk about her past). She went to court and was aquitted; the court ruled justifiable homocide. However, she is still in the fugitive database because the database's programmer forgot to remove it. Since he doesn't get back to work for two days (this is Friday night/Saturday morning) and there's now an APB out for her, life will get even more exciting for Alisin.
VOTGUL: Based on Ming the Merciless from the Dino DeLaurentis version of <i>Flash Gordon</i>...or you could say it may be Ming's daughter if she had never met Flash. She's the leader/employer of the Crapshooters but soon you'll see that even she isn't immune to manipulation.
Virgin Goddess: This illegal drug has no relation whatsoever to VGX (Virgin Goddess EXtract), it is mere coincidence that the two have similar names (and partly why Jones is in so much trouble). It is a powerful psycho anti-inhibitant and an equally powerful aphrodesiac. Meaning that anybody who ingests some will instantly turn into a rabid sex maniac, attempting to screw any warm body in reach. There is an underground lab making the stuff somewhere in Billberg...
Ace: no, he is NOT a male version of the <i>Doctor Who</i> character of the same name, nor is he a past member of the rock band PECK.
Starship Divine: Based on the Starship Titanic from the Douglas Adams computer game/novel. Divinia, the ship's AI, is a sister to Titania of the Adams story. There is something wrong about the ship too...

Phan-E-B-10-DR: This pun is the title of a BeeGees song that was a hit at about the time I first became a sci-fi fan. Pretty suggestive name for a feminine robot, you think?
UniTran: What if Unicron (of Transformers the Movie) had run into the Underbase (of the midpoint storyline of the Marvel [US] Transformers comic book)? I'll describe UniTran better when I get to him...
Since the link to gamingguardians.com is broken, I guess I need to describe Randarch and JET. Randarch is Graveyard Greg's main good-guy rival. His partner, JET v.3, is a brother (son?) robot to EDG. Randarch's egotism and self-righteous anger are legendary, although Randarch would rather be legendary for his role in saving the Gamerverses.
