Name: Amber Callahan (no relation to Kitty Callahan)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Department: DOGA
Home 'Verse: Alternate of World One in which supernatural powers exist, not tied to any literary continuum.
Species: Human
Nationality: American (Irish background)

Amber loves being outdoors, nature, and physical activity. She is more comfortable up in the mountains than anywhere else in the world. She's also the most stereotypically Irish of the three inseparable Callahan siblings, and has a bit of a temper, which causes her to say things she regrets later. She was born with powers to manipulate earth, but couldn't use them well before she received training at HQ. Her earth powers are a little less versatile than that of an Earthbender in Avatar. As for her backstory, her birth parents are both deceased (her mother died giving birth to her younger brother and her father died working his risky job), but the Callahan kids found some good-hearted adoptive parents and some friends, including Miriam. Amber, her siblings, and Miriam all fell into a plothole together, and occasionally they wonder about how their families have been able to cope with losing them.

Name: Miriam Almstedt
Age: 17
Department: DOGA
Home 'Verse: See Amber
Nationality: American (Swedish background)
Species: Human or fox, but never in between

It probably says something that Amber and Miriam ended up partners despite having known each other before recruitment. In contrast to Amber's tomboy nature, Miriam is a girly-girl who swoons over boys, knows how to do makeup (as opposed to Amber), and gets queasy at the sight of blood. She has both the ability to turn into a fox and to manipulate gravity, although the second one is limited to one object at a time and by her stamina. Both of these powers were obtained from magical accidents that happened at family reunions in Sweden. She also has apparently sighted a few monsters right out of Scandinavian folklore at said family reunions, but downplays it whenever anyone asks because she thinks people won't believe her.

So, how are these two? As I said, they're intended to be the first partners that I make missions with, so I'd like to hear as much advice about them as possible.

-Twistey

Name: Skater (pseudonym)
Age: ~15 or 16. He's not telling.
Home continuum: World One
Appearance: White teen with messy blonde hair who perpetually wears sunglasses because they look cool. He also has dog ears attached to his head that match his hair (see History).
Personality: Skater is quite absent-minded. Paying attention to something important that he isn't interested in is difficult, and he is easily distracted and prefers to busy his mind with some daydream. Skater also often forgets himself and many things that he needs to do, ranging from reporting a broken Disguise Generator to forgetting to pack Bleeprin. Skater likes to absorb himself in something he really likes to do and is annoyed when he is interrupted while doing that thing. He can get worked up and begin to stress out over small things if given a chance and a lack of sleep. He tends to monologue to anyone who is willing to listen. He does not have social skills and can say things that would be misinterpreted by others, or misinterpret others' words. He is somewhat literal-minded, feeling the need to explain every joke away, and has a hard time judging the intentions of others. He tries too hard to solve a problem himself and avoids asking for help. While he is kind with a very strong sense of justice, striking up a conversation with him will eventually lead to him saying something that sounds rude or judgmental without even meaning it. He comes down hard on himself all too easily, which can lead to some pretty angsty scenes, and it's up to his partner to show him that it's not the end of the world. He has a low tolerance for teasing and a lower tolerance for being called a furry.
History: Skater arrived at the PPC through plothole, like many others. During his training, he volunteered for an experiment devised by the Department of Analytical Science to be infused with energy harvested from plotholes, thinking that he would get superpowers. This turned out to be an unfortunate case of Wrong Genre Savvy as his body could not contain the energy and it leaked out a lot, wreaking utter havoc on his psyche and transforming him into an alter ego known as the Phoenix. During his Phoenix phase, he was vulnerable to ego explosions, being a hot-blooded anime protagonist, and completely breaking down because something reminded him of his time as a Suethor. He was partnered with Kuro in the DMS, but after two successful missions and a failed third one, it was clear his state had gotten worse and he was unfit to be an agent anymore. After a long time in FicPsych and then an insane asylum, his condition had mostly improved and he returned to the PPC, where he joined the Department of Floaters. However, when he returned, he was in for a very big surprise.
Abilities: He likes wielding a battle axe, but can function with other weapons. Also, what little power he retained from the experiment allows him to kill non-canons that shouldn't be able to die, basically bypassing immortality.
IMPORTANT: Don't get Skater started on fictional deities. Please don't.

Name: Azoralth, once known to his comrades as the "Soul-Tracker"
Age: Uncertain
Species: Stormcast Eternal, formerly human.
Department: DoMS? Haven't decided yet.
Description:

One of Sigmar's own Stormcast Eternals, hailing from the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar setting. Like all Stormcast, he was once a faithful mortal warrior, plucked from the jaws of death by the God-King Sigmar and reforged via lightning and arcane magic into an immortal warrior. In his past life, he was a youth named Azoralth, a child of two reclusive mages of the Amethyst lore--the lore of Death Magic. (Not to be confused with the Lore of Undeath, which is necromancy.) His parents were also refugees; two of the few survivors of the Age of Chaos wherein the forces of the Chaos Gods ravaged the realms..
Before he was born, they had fled to Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, from the underworlds of Shyish, the Realm of Death. He was raised in almost total isolation, hidden away in a foreboding mountain range, and they taught him the basics of harnessing his latent magical talent for benevolent purposes and self-defense.
At sixteen summers of age, however, his world changed forever with the loss of his parents to a marauding warband of Orruks. His parents had predicted their attack on a nearby village, and presumably gave their lives protecting the village with their sorcery. When he realized they weren't coming back (they had left him alone with a black-bladed dagger and some supplies) he set out to follow their last instructions to him, left in the form of a note: "Find a Realmgate to Azyr [The Celestial Realm.] The Gates are open; seek out the God-King Sigmar for asylum in his halls."
Thus, he set off across the realms, on an adventure that would see him eventually becoming the leader of a rag-tag band of young refugees and strays of various Realms and species, on a quest to find a gate to Azyr. ALong the way, however, they were pursued by various forces of the Undead, sent by the necromantic followers of the jealous Lord of Undeath, Nagash. This culminated in an act of desperate self-sacrifice in which Azoralth fully unlocked his magical potential and challenged one of Nagash's vampire lords to a duel. The vampire, by nature unable to back down from a fight, even one so one-sided as this, accepted his challenge. Soon after, Azoralth gave up his life, buying his friends and companions time to flee to Azyr. Azoralth lay there dying as the vampire loomed over him, his friends' names upon his breath. However, before the vampire could inflict the curse of vampirism upon him, lightning struck down from the heavens, obliterating the creature. When the blinding light had faded, Azoralth was nowhere to be found...
An unspecified amount of time later, he had been reforged by the God-King, who had seen his valor and saved him from a fate worse than death. Now he was able to once again turn his magical prowess to a righteous cause, combined with the holy power of Sigmar's lightning as he took up the mantle of a Lord-Relictor--a warrior-priest charged with the protection of the very souls of his fellow Stormcast. Eventually, as his former companions died, one by one, they, too, were reforged to fight at his side as warriors of a Stormhost known as the Knights Revenant--a host of Stormcast tasked with seeking out, recovering, and maintaining knowledge and artifacts thought lost to history. He was no exception, and to this day he carries the same journal that he kept on his original journey to Azyr.

In the PPC-verse:
Once again taken up into a realm he had hardly dreamed of, he chooses to remain here due to the mission of his Stormhost in his home verse--the mission to preserve knowledge, and uncover hidden truths, the only difference being that it is now done on a multiversal scale, and instead of only fighting the foes of his home canon, in the name of Sigmar, he fights enemies of all sorts, in the name of upholding the balance of the multiverse. A part of him misses his comrades, but he has mostly accepted the burden of losing them as being for the greater good of existence as a whole.
Abilities and Weapons:
--His favored weapon, is, naturally, a relic hammer forged of the same metal as his armor--holy star-forged sigmarite, his other weapon being the black-bladed dagger his parents had left for him in his mortal life.
--He retains control over the Amethyst wind of magic, including the ability to literally see other beings' souls and interact with the deceased via physical contact with their remains. The holy powers bequeathed to him by his Reforging also remain usable, channeled through the reliquary staff he bears and manifesting in the form of holy lightning.

Well, either way, here’s my first agent:

Name: Edward Stone (formerly Edward Eagle, but he changed it because he was being teased)

Age: 20 (ish)

Species: Peculiar male

Department: DoMS, Harry Potter division

Edward is tall with dark hair and his favourite thing to do is wind his sister up. He can control water, but very rarely does because there’s not much water in HQ and it doesn’t work when he’s disguised. He lives on chocolate and coffee and is completely anti-social. In fact, with the exception of Kat, he hates people and likes to be as secretive as possible.

History: Along with his sister, he started life as an OC in an (imaginary) Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children badfic, in which his sole purpose was to turn evil because the Sue ditched him for her LO. Since being rescued by the PPC he’s been working with his sister Kat in the DoMS.

Powers: As mentioned, water control. His favourite method of killing is Avada Kedavra.

I don't have Permission, so I decided I'd shoot my two ideas for agents over- the first of which should be *fairly* familiar for those who were around when I was Anonymouse, although (especially in the History bit) he also takes inspiration from another character of mine, that was... also a Porygon-Z.

Technician/Agent Zeta

Full Name: Porygon-Z
--Full Nickname: PGZProject-423-Zeta
Species: Porygon-Z
Age: Indeterminate
--Mental age: Mid-20s
Gender: None
--Mental Gender: Male
Home Continuum: Pokémon, circa early Generation 7
Affiliation: PPC, DOSAT, Department of Floaters (he tends to shuttle between the two departments quite regularly)

Appearance: Zeta is a Porygon-Z, a Pokemon made entirely out of computer code, made manifest in the physical world as a collection of simple 3D shapes that combine together to form a sort of floating... duck... robot... thing. In addition, Zeta himself has been heavily modified by DOSAT, denoted by the flash patch emblazoned on his back, which can easily show any emblem- although it's most likely to show either the DOSAT smoking swivel chair, or the Floaters waterlily.
--Human disguise: Zeta manifests as a short, redheaded American man with pale skin and a pair of glasses framing a set of amber eyes. In a modern setting, his clothing typically ends up being a set of blue jeans, a blue shirt, and a red bomber jacket, typically worn unzipped.

Abilities: Zeta comes pre-loaded with the moves Conversion, Lock-On, Shadow Ball, and Ice Beam, and he also typically keeps the TMs for Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, and Thunderbolt in his personal bag of holding- that way, he can easily swap one of his two attacking moves for Thunderbolt when he needs to. As a Porygon-Z, he has the quite interesting ability to slip into and out of technology, allowing him to do everything from troubleshoot consoles from the inside, to mail himself by ICEP instead of dealing with the labyrinthine corridors of HQ. In addition, the built-in flash patch wasn't the only modification DOSAT made- he has multiple PPC gadgets built-in as subroutines he can call up, including the Universal Translator (which serves as a sort of backup- he typically communicates via text-to-speech), an RA, the D.O.R.K.S., and most worryingly, a C-CAD- along with *all* of those gadgets' drawbacks. Needless to say, he rarely uses the actual subroutines if he can help it- after all, one ends up quite a bit more protective of their C-CAD when they *are* their C-CAD.

Personality: Zeta is a take-charge, no-nonsense kind of guy, and is surprisingly quick to irritate- one of his pet peeves being the abuse and/or neglect of any technology, especially fellow AIs. He's short and to the point, rarely wanting to do anything beyond the Duty itself in a Word-World. That being said, he has a soft spot for bits victimized by the Suethor- and anything sufficiently high-tech enough can quickly become something akin to a lust object for the digital duck.

History: Zeta was born from a months-long RP based around the Pokemon universe, featuring such joys as wildly-out-of-character canons, events, locales, and people that simply ceased to exist or popped out of the ether, and Pokemon abuse and neglect, topped off with GladioN slash. (Yes, the N is capitalized for a reason. Yes, it's THAT reason.) The Porygon-Z himself was given the backstory of being one of the first Porygon-Zs in existence, created (or, well, evolved) by Team Galactic itself, and tasked with heading into various alternate dimensions- Zeta had ended up somewhere in the Distortion World for a time, and had popped out years later. Fortunately, the RP eventually detonated and fell apart in a hail of drama, and while his Word-World fell apart around him, Zeta fell into the plothole that an entirely new radio station in Virbank had risen from- and landed in the middle of the Department of Sufficiently-Advanced Technology.

Agent Smith

Full Name: John Smith
Species: Human
Age: Generic teenager...?
--Mental Age: 21
Gender: Male
Home Continuum: Wizard101
Affiliation: PPC, Department of Floaters

Appearance: John is a medium-height young man with unkempt brown hair and green eyes. His standard outfit usually ends up being comfortable robes in black and yellow, although he also quite often ends up wearing a white-and-purple suit with a jaunty purple top hat. In magic continua, he tends to prefer staves to wands when casting magic- even going as far as to obtain a wand-cane (think 'sword-cane but with a wand') variation of the Muggle-Use Wand for use in the Potterverse. His justification for such is something along the lines of 'Lucius Malfoy had a wand-cane, so it's not like the concept is incompatible with canon- and I'm fairly certain that I can't simply use my Spell Deck to cast things like Obliviate.'

In addition, John is typically followed around by his Pet (yes, that's the actual terminology used by Wizard101, most likely because the target audience might not understand the term 'Familiar'), an Epic-level Sister Cheesiwitz (a humanoid mouse that comes up to knee height, typically bespectacled, clothed in a simple white-and-lavender dress, and equipped with a nondescript green tome) named Lady Phoebe- or simply 'Phoebe', for short.

Abilities: John is a Storm wizard- he's typically armed with a Spell Deck containing spells able to summon anything from the simple Thunder Snake to the powerful and terrifying Storm Lord, which produce powerful... if inaccurate... electricity-and-water-based magical attacks- although his ability to actally use these sort of attacks outside of his home continuum is probably nonexistent, save for perhaps the spell Tempest, which merely summons a storm- and either way, it's probably best he stay away from using abilities that aren't canon to the continuum he's in. (He does, however, have a tendency towards magical or energetic attacks, and weaponry of an electrical or aquatic nature.) Phoebe, meanwhile, is more of a healer, using "may-cast" spells like Unicorn and Healing Current- and when she's outside of her home continuum, she's frighteningly effective with a first-aid kit. (Also, she wears their Bag of Holding like a backpack.)

Personality: John is easygoing, laid-back, and quite optimistic- although he's not naive, and he *knows* about things like Murphy's Law and the Ironic Overpower. He knows things *can* go wrong- he just tends to hold out hope that they won't. He's also quite fond of both sarcasm and wordplay, especially the art of the pun- after all, when you can't simply wash things away with an actual thunderstorm, a punderstorm tends to be the next best thing. (After all, which would you rather think about- the Sue and her litany of crimes against canon, or the Lords-awful puns either made by the agent next to you, or coming out of your own mouth?) Phoebe, meanwhile, is a mouse of few words- or, rather, she's completely mute. She instead gets across her meaning through body language and expression- and when that fails her, she's not above breaking out the charades or (as a last resort) writing notes on the back of a charge list. She tends to strike a middle ground between Zeta and John, and her caring nature means she ends up being a sort of 'team mom' for the duo. While she's not technically an agent in her own right (heck, even in the canon, Pets are mechanically nothing more than mere inventory items that can be bred, trained, and whatnot, despite often being miniatures of everything from often-hostile beasts, to other sapient races, to mythological creatures like the Forest Lord itself), she downright insists on coming along to every mission, where she jots down charge lists, helps to chase down Minis, and breaks out the first-aid kit when necessary.

History: John and Phoebe started out as his author's player character (and... well, an inventory item owned by said player character) from the Wizard101 MMORPG, a Level 50-or-so Storm Wizard who hadn't yet defeated Malistaire. Unfortunately, while preparing to face off against him, he took a wrong turn at the World Gate and ended up in the middle of the PPC. Most of John himself seems to be an author-insert, but he doesn't seem to be complaining about that...

Name: Kuro (real name unknown)
Age: 31
Species: Human male
Appearance: He is a medium-height white man who wears jeans and a simple gray sweater. He has a tangled, spiky mess of jet-black hair that he can never straighten out completely. He has green eyes. He usually wears a belt sporting a katana in case he needs to threaten any agent who disagrees with him on something he feels strongly about.
Personality: Kuro is a Stereotype Flip of weeaboos. On one hand, he likes anime, manga, and anything that comes out of Japan or is based on material from there. He is a social loser and a high school dropout who is hilariously bad at flirting and has multiple waifus. He has quite an ego and talks about how he is "the master of the blade" and whines about how "girls simply have no taste anymore." On the other hand, he genuinely works hard and tries to improve constantly, he tries his hardest to be polite and not creepy (to no avail), is a really nice person when you get to know him, and is physically fit enough to complete missions. He can also be quite cool when he over-dramatizes the killing of a Sue. Kuro likes to come up with new methods of exorcism, including the Exorcism Jutsu.
History: Kuro did try hard in school. He really did. It's just that getting held back once in eighth grade, twice in ninth grade, and a whopping four times in tenth grade, even when you're trying your hardest to understand the material, just breaks you after a while. He eventually gave up and set his sights on a job that got him enough money and time to live and pursue his burgeoning passion for anime. Eventually, he fell into a plothole and discovered the PPC.
He started his career at the DMS. After a sufficiently long period of time, his partner retired, and he was partnered with a newbie who called himself "the Phoenix" or just "Phoenix". The first fic they took on was Kuro's own self-insert Naruto fic, which they disposed of in the most dramatic way possible. After "Phoenix" became completely incapable of functioning after just two missions and was placed in an asylum, Kuro was partnered with... well, I haven't though about that part yet.
Powers: Kuro has enough physical abilities to pass off as a Narutoverse ninja, until you ask him to use jutsu. He is very skilled in wielding "Weeb weapons" (shurikens and katanas), but can adapt to a wide variety of weapons. Just don't hand him a gun or other ranged weapon. His weapon is a katana harvested from his self-insert Stu that also allows him to use canonical jutsu.
Department: DMS

Name: Colonel Caleb Bradbury

Species: Human

Age: 56

Sex: Male

Home Continuum: An unpublished fanfic based on Daniel Pinkwater's "Borgle."

Personality: Bradbury is what is known as a “character”. He has a strange ability to procure just about anything just about anywhere, and a related ability to establish himself as an authority figure even in situations totally unfamiliar to him.

Appearance: The colonel is a gaunt man, just shy of two meters tall. His head is very round, a feature accentuated by his rather severe buzz-cut. He has a short beard, skin on the brown side, and a generally weathered look. He is a good bit more athletic than one would expect from a man his age, thanks to the medical and cybernetic science of the 2050s.

History: In his many years he has been not just an officer in the Argentine army, but also a grave digger, stamp forger, purveyor of shoddy knockoff products, piano tuner, ticket scalper, blackjack dealer, and many other things. He spent an elliptical number of years (time is elliptical in his home continuum) traveling through space, time, and the other by means of a television-detector van equipped with a Hydramatic drive, partly in search of adventure, partly to escape the repercussions of some ill-thought-out business ventures.

Agent Brandon:
NAME: Brandon
AGE: 10
SPECIES: Human male
HOME CONTINUUM: Pokémon (specifically Alpha Sapphire)
APPEARANCE: Brandon looks like the default male Trainer for Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
PERSONALITY: Brandon is sort of like Ash. He's an All-Loving Hero who's always raring to press on with his "adventure," whether it be a Pokémon journey or a mission. He wonders about everything and likes to try new things, like scanning fanart with a CAD or different methods of exorcism. He loves learning about the world around him and enjoys knowing things. He strongly believes that anyone can become stronger and better if they try, and is usually the one to advocate for recruiting non-disruptive Sues. He can often be found in a state of awe at something he just witnessed, like a kid going "That. Was. AWESOME!" He is quite naïve and prior to joining the PPC did not know that most of the things in badfic were even possible. Please forgive him if he bluescreens for a moment in a particularly bad badfic. He possesses a journal, an artifact from his home continuum.
His partner Pokémon, Swampert, is pretty casual and coolheaded. He is arguably the brains of the duo, capable of coming up with intricate plans to take down Sues.
HISTORY: Brandon was the protagonist of an Alpha Sapphire cartridge belonging to someone who did not bother with character naming or customization. Or maybe he did and Brandon just reverted to the default after entering the PPC. He really doesn't know. His cartridge was thrown away and crushed in a dumpster, and the ensuing data corruption created a plothole that allowed him to escape with the six Pokémon he had and his journal to the PPC.
Soon after he reached the PPC, he and his Pokémon were carted off to Medical for an emergency operation to treat the corruption. Only he and his starter Pokémon, a male Swampert, survived. The others were glitchy messes that eventually resolved into piles of gore. Brandon was heartbroken at his loss, but with the help of Marshtomp, he was able to emotionally recover, and they vowed to live well to make his survival count. After being trained, he and Swampert transferred to the DMS and were partnered with an agent referring to himself as the Phoenix. After two missions, the Phoenix became completely mentally insane, and was sent to an insane asylum for his health. Brandon was paired with Kuro instead.
POWERS AND ABILITIES: Swampert can Mega Evolve, but this has been a painful experience for him ever since he entered the PPC< and Brandon and Swampert prefer to use it as a last resort.
