Characters: Main Characters Part 1

So today we'll talk a little about the main characters of IDTGA!. 

First, a little background. A huge part of the comic's story is based on the Fable series. There, you always played as a descendant of the Hero bloodline. Heroes possessed extraordinary powers. Heroes of Strength had vitality (lots of health), endurance (toughened defense), power (pure strength itself), and used melee weapons such as swords or hammers. Heroes of Skill had speed (in both movement and attacks), precision/accuracy, and were very smart (they were commonly theives or pirates), and they mastered in long range weaponry, give or take a quick sword like a rapier or cutlass. Heroes of Will had magic abilities, like shooting fire or lighting, or summoning blades or even the dead. There were also Heroes of all three traits. These were of the rarest occasion and were the playable characters in the games. However, in IDTGA!, the Hero blood went a little farther than the region of Albion.

In modern times, King Henry Thompson rules the land of Heiwa with an iron fist. His daughter, Princess Elisha, is the kingdom's last hope. She is visited by Theresa, a blind seer who guided the main characters throughout the Fable series. She tells Elisha of her Hero bloodline and gives her the Guild Seal, which awakens her Hero blood. Elisha then sneaks out of the castle and escapes, meeting up with the three main characters, who have met with Theresa just previously. They are: Zach, the Hero of Strength, who wields hammers, axes, and cleavers; Mark, the Hero of Skill, who wields a cutlass, dual pistols, and a rifle; and Rain, the Hero of Will, who also wields a bow and dual sais. 

Zach is a video game lover, and a Dr. Pepper lover, and does anything to protect his friends. However, he can be sarcastic and even a smartass at times. That, and the fact he has a giant warhammer made of steel might make you think twice about making him angry. He's not too hardheaded, especially compared to a lot of the villains they face. He also uses six Pokemon whenever he doesn't feel like doing the fighting himself.

Mark is the world's biggest stoner, and because of that, Nyan Cat has become his spirit animal. That doesn't mean he's too stupid, just spaced out a lot of the time. He does, however, have unbelievable accuracy and is the fastest runner out of the three. He befriends a lone wolf on their journey, and he names it Bandit. Bandit is more of a playful pup around Mark and the others, but is a fierce warrior in battle.

Rain was a hunter in America and also a Pokemon Trainer, but she got far too attached to every Pokemon she came in contact with, so she let hers go and got on a boat to London, but was switched courses to Heiwa somehow. Now her original purpose was to stay until she had more money to travel to London, but now she has to stay and help rebel against this evil king. She does, however, meet four Pokemon who she once again grows attached too, and decides they may be useful in helping out in this great war between the king and his people.

Elisha is a Hero of all three traits, and very kind to everyone. However, although she is better than an average person in her combat skills, fighting isn't her greatest attribute. Her leadership skills are what would make her a successful queen, and she must lead the Heiwan Resistance to ensure the safety of the entire world, otherwise her father may gain all the power he needs to shape it to his will.

King Henry Thompson is at first viewed as nothing more than a tyrant, however as time passes on his goal becomes more clear. He doesn't just want power, he wants it from Heroes. He had to kill many Heroes in his rise to the throne to gain the power level he has, and he did it all with the Sword of Aeons. Once wielded by Jack of Blades in the original Fable, it could give the user pure power by killing others. Now it can give Henry power by killing Heroes. There may possibly be more than the four Heroes here on Heiwa, considering the blood flows through many people whether or not they can become Heroes, however Henry so far wants the heads of these four cut off by his own sword so he may become ultimate.

Jimax Thompson is Henry's loyal sharpshooting son and Elisha's older brother. He is Mark's rival in combat and they tend to engage in battle quite often. He is a high-ranking commander in Henry's dark army and is merciless to his enemies. He doesn't sword fight as much as Mark, but his dual-rifles make up for that. Also he can embed his bullets with dark magic to make them more powerful and the pain long-lasting. His name references the pride he takes in trying to be the best for his father.

Hcaz is a major character. He is a dark clone of Zach made in the first episode. He is also a fast learner. When he was nothing more than a dark blob, it was meant to possess and clone Elisha, however missed and cloned Zach. He looks exactly like Zach except with jet-black skin, hair, and clothes, and he has big red eyes. Over time Hcaz learns to speak full sentences and learns new abilities in battle, making him the ultimate killing machine. He is often seen fighting whoever he can to have the pleasure of ending the battle, either with defeating them or killing them. Mostly killing. He clones not only Zach's appearance and a similar voice, but also his Hero blood. Hcaz is a Hero of Strength, though learning new abilities along the way.

Jak isn't a Hero, however that doesn't mean he's not a good fighter. He is the leader of the Heiwan Resistance, and is the first member to meet the Heroes. He loves to ride his motorcycle, and have his packmule-man Ned do stuff for him, but he also loves using his laser-blasting-gunblade in his battles. He's a bit cocky at times, but being on his good side makes him a good ally.

Theresa is a blind seer and an old Hero of Will who has lived through many centuries. She has guided many to victory and intends to do so with the modern Heroes as well. However all of her true intentions are never revealed and she only gives the most important details to the Heroes. It is a mystery what goes through her mind.

Merlina is a wizard from the storybook game Sonic and the Black Knight, and after trying to use Excalibur's scabbard to create an eternal kingdom of darkness she was taught why that was wrong and went to become Theresa's apprentice. She is constantly reminded of her mistakes, but Mark cheers her up a lot. 

Nikki is a pyrokinetic sorceress and one of Henry's servants. She is Rain's rival, and also a ditsy flirt. However she is often assigned on missions with Jimax and Hcaz, mostly Hcaz, and is quite annoying. Someone ought to shut her up.

For now that's all. Next up: Main Character's Part 2 plus a few less-main characters that are too important to be called minor characters.
