"The Mangaka"
Real Name: [The last person who knew died five minutes ago.]

Overzealous, psychotic, but extremely clever and creative, she commands the infamous "B-Army" with a sharp and demanding tongue and iron fist. With this aspiring manga artist, one never knows what to expect! One moment she can be cheerful and loving, the next she may just as quickly impale her friend/enemy with her shape-shifting "pencil of DOOM" while laughing maniacally as he/she/it screams and writhes in agony. Though merciless and slightly sadomasochistic, she has been known to set aside her title as "Psychotic Raving Lunatic" to wind down and occasionally enjoy the company of her many, many personal playthings, to which she refers to as her "kittens". While she currently sides with the evil "Manager", one can never be sure as to whose side she truly is on. The answer? She sides with no one but herself. Oh, and the co-assistant dominatrix as well.

"Co-Assistant Dominatrix"
Real Name: Ashley

Equally as brutal and demanding of obedience as her sporadic friend, "The Mangaka", this self-proclaimed "Bondage Queen" is second-in-command over her friend's intimidating "B-Army". Though occasionally she abuses her power [and the poor bishounen], she never forgets her priorities and sets them above all others. Even above her personal servant, "Squishy". Like her deranged counterpart, the Dominatrix prides herself in lowering the morale of countless people as she marches on their country, slaughtering them en masse via her mindless drones within the "B-Army", and making the small children cry by eating candy in front of them and not giving them any! She too is a force to be reckoned with.

"The Manager"
Real Name: Michael

Seemingly the ring-leader in this aspiration for world-domination. He has it all: an army, an untouchable base, and the finicial backing for it all--not to mention two of the most dangerous women he could find on the planet at his beck and call--for the moment, anyway. Truth be told, he caught the mangaka in the midst of a bad franchise choice, resulting in her going bankrupt. He saw potential in her knack for creativity, exposed the root, and planted the darkest, most evil seed in her mind that he could conjure--not to say that it wasn't already there, but he is partially to blame for her psychosis. As for the dominatrix? She was the mangaka's business partner, thus he caught the both of them at once! A very brutal person when it comes to business, he plans to spread his power by expanding his Wal-Mart franchises all over the world!

"Thing in the Grass"
Real Name: [He forgot]

The hero in this fucked up tale. All he wanted to do was go to Wal-Mart and buy some ramen and cat food. But for some reason, he got dragged into a conversation with an aspiring manga artist, found out more than he should have, and is caught in the middle of a power struggle. What is there for him to do? Why, do something about it, of course! He can't just sit there and let a crazy artist and her dominatrix friend take over the world with the aid of a manager from Wal-Mart and an army of over ten million xerox copies of bishounen! So what does he do? Call on the aid of two of his own friends! Will they be of use? Well, one will be actually...but that's beside the point! He's going to stop them! How? He hasn't figured that out yet. But eventually he will! Why is his name "Thing in the Grass"? It's a long story even he can't remember.

"The Disturbed One"
Real Name: Kim

A silent, deadly re-animated corpse that doesn't decompose for some reason. The most she has to worry about is keeping her joints intact via needle and thread. A great asset to Thing's heroic cause, she possesses pyrokinesis, aerokinesis, electrokinesis, and hydrokinesis [the ability to control fire, wind, electricity, and water]. However, she is very susceptible to one thing: kindness. It wracks her mind and drives her insane. Therefore, all things cute and cuddly and nice and bright and shiny [Barney, for instance] should stray FAR from her path. It ignites her into a rage, to which can only be quelled by the slaughtering of countless people. Yes...there's a skeleton in her closet. A big one.

Alan
Real Name: "The Egotistical Self-Preserving Chauvinist"

Alan is good for one thing: driving a person insane. Though well-off in the physical department when it comes to brawling, his mouth is often the cause of ruckus and thus there is unnecessary conflict. Why is he recruited by Thing? Because of his ability to agitate the masses, and back up his words at that, he is seen as a one-man weapon, thus he may do all the work for Thing, leaving the hero to get straight to the heart of the matter. Though irritating, he can be a very valuable asset in harsh times. Especially if the Disturbed One is out of commission.
