Please, step away from the bespectacled psychopath!
Okay, so this will be my first attempt. Hope I got this all right...
Specs McGlasses:
Specs is a creation from the mind of SC, who Specs still refers to as Creator despite several times being told not to. Specs earned his name from a key detail, wherein the removal of his trademark glasses, for any reason, caused him to burst into flames. It was suspected at the time that the Laws of Comedy were toying with him, and so to avoid such travesty, his glasses were fitted with Velcro so that they wouldn't accidentally slip.
After discovering that Specs seemed to physically react to the expression of SC's emotions, and that the effect was tripled when the two were close together - again, likely due to the Laws of Comedy - SC kicked Specs out of his house for his protection, and Specs moved into a small apartment. Before he was kicked out, SC gave Specs a Cool Sword that, until recently, never left Specs' side.
One fateful day in May (it was actually June, but Specs liked rhymes), Sef appeared in Specs' room from a rift in reality. After some time living together, Specs gave up his Cool Sword to Sef, along with a pair of guns stolen from Specs' past that he had been given by SC via discreet shipping, and the two parted ways. Only, of course, to reunite in the PPC, of all places, in the Department of Floaters.

Sapphire "Sef" St. Claire:
Originally a mercenary-for-hire Stu from the Black Cat continuum, employed by Chronos to combat Creed Diskense and his Apostles of the Stars, Sef was soon hit by a heavy dose of Phlebotinum which left its mark in the form of a hyperspace arsenal in his head. It was at this point, along with trying to cope with having such a dreadful name, that Sef felt his patience run out. Soon after, he rebelled against his Stuthor and cast himself out of the continuum by breaking the laws of physics and hiding inside his own arsenal - made possible due to bad author logic.
Sef, unconscious from his own actions, ended up falling out of his arsenal in the residence of Specs, who decided that weirder things had occurred before (such as spontaneously combusting when his glasses were removed) and took him in. Along with giving Sef his nickname, Specs also gave Sef his Cool Sword and a pair of cross-shaped guns - which had been confiscated from a Sue from Specs' past - to keep. The idea was that Sef should temper the use of his arsenal and only employ it when no other solution was presentable to him. Following this advice, Sef learned to adapt to a more human way of living and all but forgot about his powers - to the point where many of them disappeared altogether. Looking for vengeance against Suethors, Sef soon joined the PPC. The greatest irony was that he was placed in the same response center as Specs.
Of course, as Sef learned the hard way, it's never a good idea to tempt the Ironic Overpower.
