Stationery Voyagers/Characters

While Loads and Loads of Characters are already popping up in Stationery Voyagers, it is still a work-in-progress. However, this list is to keep the main page somewhat clean and legible, since a lot of tropes are already character-specific. Until more is published of the series, this character sheet should also be seen as a work-in-progress.

Voyagers

 * Pextel/Arnold Rubblindo

A high-strung college student and Pencil looking to make his way in the universe, Arnold has a pretty basic concept of what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to become an astronaut, explore the lifeless frozen planet of Menehune, perhaps become a diplomat, and then retire with a chance to marry his Gel Pen girlfriend Pinkella Goldsen. He also longed to see the end of la-Qualda and the Yehtzig Pirate League; that the universe may never suffer from them again. He was also a bit spiritual, if not mystical, in his curiosity. He knew there was more to life than his small town of Sandlink had to offer. Alas, he had to deal with a home life that consisted of a very narrow-minded mother whose approval he could never obtain, and a father who was dying of Vornsid's disease. When Pinkella goes missing, Arnold does not hesitate to take investigation of her disappearance upon himself. He is even one of the first to (correctly!) allege that the Xylien Society took her. However, his ambition to find her leads him to a near-fatal car accident. He wakes up as...not quite himself. He initially flees to the surface, too scared to think straight. The Edge Skidder Society quickly subdues him and takes him back underground. Once he understands his fate better, he realizes that he can't fight fate, and agrees to be captain of the Bindaf 3000. As a leader, he his fairly ineffective. His Nakama holds together more off of common religious beliefs and The Power of Friendship than off him giving any specific commands. Realization that he is a literal Ghost in The Machine creates a sense of cosmic dissonance that makes him withdrawn; but he can still leap into the fray and perform heroic deeds now and then.

Associated Tropes


 * Back From the Dead: As a robot! Later, he gets a new robotic body to have his S-chip inserted into after the first one is . He goes dormant in season 3 due to running out of fuel rods. Later still, he
 * Be Careful What You Wish For: He got exactly the job description he wanted; but a new body that he didn't want.
 * Calling the Stupid Old Lady Out: Pextel's finally striking back at his mother for the way her stupidity, and refusal to let the Xyliens do anything when it would've mattered, resulted in Huli's death. And for her senseless and even childish acts of robophobia.
 * Pinocchio Syndrome: How he wishes he hadn't been mechanized.
 * Resigned to The Call: The former poster child on TV Tropes for this.
 * Failure Hero: He does manage to delay Cybomec, and get a few victories; but he gets his robotic excretor valve kicked at least as often as he actually solves anything. Then again, his teammates do tend to have more vivid personalities and get more Character Development.
 * How Do I Shot Web: Not knowing how his Gear Kick works initially, and injuring a pedestrian by accident.
 * Hot Leaded
 * Muggle Actual Parents: One dying from a disease, though everyone but Pextel thinks he's just a Cloudcuckoolander. And the other one is so narrow-minded that it makes it impossible for them to get along.
 * Mommy Issues: Subverted in that his poor relationship with his mother does not turn him evil. But it does make him a Foil for Cybomec, who was also disturbed by facing frequent emotional neglect from his mother.
 * Not So Different: Received a brief Hannibal Lecture from Cybomec about their families being similar, and how only their religious beliefs separate them from having identical paths, especially since both of them have repressed anger toward their mothers.
 * What Have I Become?
 * Why Couldn't You Be Different?: He insisted on exploring the other worlds of the Inktacto System, the only part of the Call to Adventure that he actually jumped at. His mother wanted him to assume a job as mundane as herself, as anything beyond that terrifies her.
 * Have You Tried Not Being Artificially Reincarnated: Why his mother rejects him.
 * Unwilling Roboticisation: The very thing the Xyliens did to keep his soul from going to Alto too soon; came at the expense of making him an immortal cartridge that can be inserted into one of several identical-looking Mechanical Pencil bodies. And he had no say in the matter.


 * Rhodney Antilles

Rhodney was initially a daredevil, working for the Daredevils 4 U organization that performed stunts for thrills in Port Metaball. However, some religious canvassers got to him at a moment when he was having existential doubts about his career. He decided putting his skills to use as a recon explorer-diplomat would be far more meaningful than wasting his life cheating death for thrills that no longer excited him. He falls Out of Focus for a bit in season 2, as some of the newer Voyagers' stories take precedence. He does manage to get captured by Nonpriel, and escapes with the help of Monigo Lanchez. However, he returns to focus somewhat in season 3. He gets a girlfriend, who is revealed to be several magnitudes more emotionally competent than he is. Unfortunately, Melanie Horquetza is still somewhat loyal to Lord Abberwadd, and agrees to return to him and be "rescued" from being a "prisoner" aboard the Bindaf 3000 in exchange for buying the Voyagers some more time. Losing Melanie devastates Rhodney, and he begins to dream only of being reunited with her. He learns that for him, femily is the most important. In fact, he leaves to be reunited with her after the Imperial War is over, and his friends have to deal with Grefundle the Collector without his help.

Associated Tropes:


 * Law of Chromatic Superiority: He's the first mate, and he's a red Up-Pen. If you don't understand something about him, he may correct you.
 * Ambiguously Orphaned: Given what a crapshoot a lot of the Voyagers' other families are, the fact that his folks are never mentioned may be a good thing.
 * Desperately Looking for A Purpose In Life
 * The Lancer: In relation to Pextel.
 * Single Target Sexuality: Melanie is the first time he seems to take the idea of girls seriously.
 * Red String of Fate: Is it not obvious from the get-go that our red Pen falls for a cyan Marker?
 * Foe Yay: He is one of the few Voyagers that Cybomec frequently refers to in conversation on a First-Name Basis.
 * Celibate Hero: Not that he gets many opportunities, but he seems to make a conscious effort not to get a girlfriend. Then, Melanie changes everything.
 * Love Hurts: One reason he held out for so long. He was Properly Paranoid about it.


 * Oceanoe Hendelbin

Oceanoe is a double-crossed former pop star, who decided that he needed a new purpose in life after getting thrown out of the band due to his brother's meddling. In spite being of a lower rank than Rhodney, he has a much cooler light-up defensive maneuver programmed into his suit: the ballistic cartwheel. He starts out as being a little childish, as he's not completely grown out of his old role in society. As Character Development sets in, he becomes the team's most level-headed member, and the most dedicated to their actual job description. At least until Viola shows up. She increasingly takes up his time as the series progresses. He does actually very little in Season 1, save for being one of the many who gets caught in the Rilage Space Center and has to battle Cybomec. He gets to rescue Balleni Points from la-Qualda with Viola's help in Season 2. In Season 3, he's back to being mostly Out of Focus, save for being abducted by the Crooked Rainbow. But he does try to redeem his image and become more active in Season 4.

Associated Tropes:


 * Bishonen: His Mantithian form. Made even more obvious when the Crooked Rainbow uses Reverse-Eros gas on him to try to turn him gay.
 * Boy Band: Was in one. It was named Sketchcamp, originally a parody of O-Town.
 * Cain and Abel: His entire backstory can be best summarized as a variation of this, just one that doesn't end in death.
 * Deceased Parents Are the Best: Given what a bastard his older brother is, it's probably a good thing that his folks' current dispositions are left open-ended.


 * Marlack Inkripe

Marlack was a son of ranchers, who mostly took on menial jobs of helping out his father Henry with rodeos. He entered into a space program, but didn't take it very seriously. He simply wanted to see what was out there, and possibly earn more income for his family. Henry was also about to inherit the ranch from the elderly Licorine. He eventually decides he wants to join the Voyager program, if only out of self interest. When his father dies in an accident and his sister Bonnie gets raped, Marlack develops a revenge motive for wanting his new job. He also wants to prove himself worthy of his dead father's intended inheritance from Licorine. He is usually pretty laid back, though he makes more effort than Rhodney and Oceanoe to be helpful in times of crisis. However, his attempt to get revenge on his sister's rapist goes horribly wrong, ending his revenge kick. He also goes about it foolishly because he was upset with Neone being rude to him at the time. When Neone discovers his motives for acting the way he does, she feels guilty for mistreating him. And immediately develops feelings for him as the guilt reminds her of Carl.

Associated Tropes:


 * Cowboy: He descends from a family of ranchers.
 * Death By Childbirth: Assumed to be the reason his mother is not around: she died giving birth to Bonnie.
 * Love Redeems: Well, guilt at first. It develops into love later. Neone apologizing to Marlack and finally accepting his friendly advances goes a long way towards him giving up the quest to avenge his sister.
 * Inadequate Inheritor: Marlack definitely views himself as not measuring up to the family legacy. Each of them has either wowed audiences or done something heroic. He's...not really done that much. Till now.
 * It's Personal: His desire to avenge his sister's honor.
 * Parody Names: His surname of "Inkripe" is slightly phonetically similar to Cartwright. The Inkripe Ranch is basically the Ponderosa, but more modern. Ironically, he doesn't suffer from a Cartwright Curse.
 * Shout Out Theme Naming: To Bonanza


 * Pinkella Goldsen

Pinkella, a pink Gel Pen, was pretty much the epitome of a Purity Sue back in the day. Little did she realize that her parents were secretly in league with la-Qualda. She wanted to become an astronaut and marry Arnold, so they could support each other in both their space missions and their family life. That's when she saw the cracks. She was forbidden to pursue her astronaut career any further. She was told her destiny was to work at Bubblespeck for her brother Flarmin. But things were not as they seemed in the bright bubblegum factory. Her brother was actually gay! And his lover was secretly plotting to betray and murder the Goldsens and take over! Both her parents were cheating on each other, and after she revealed that she knew it, they didn't even care! In fact they even encouraged her to find a factory worker to have sex with so she could forget about Arnold, showing no concern whatsoever at how scarred she was to catch her father with another woman.

When Corphel Frank actually carries through with his plans, Pinkella has to fake her own death to escape. Convinced he's killed them all, Frank has no trouble concocting a ridiculous story about how the Goldsens went missing. Not that the police could've done much about it anyway with la-Qualda running rampant. The only party aware of his treachery, and Pinkella's survival, are the Xylien Society. They take the recently-orphaned and no-longer-so-innocent Pinkella to their underground, where they train her in the Voyager Program and put her through extensive counseling. (Which Katrina could've used some of as well.)

Aboard the Bindaf 3000, she is always loyally by Pextel's side. She often stays behind with Erasaxo when Pextel goes out on field missions. She ends up being one of many characters that gets tossed around by the nations she visits, expected to do a little bit of everything.

Associated Tropes:


 * Break the Cutie: Works to an extent.
 * Corrupt the Cutie: Not so much.
 * Charlie and The Chocolate Parody: How Pinkella's family tries to portray the Bubblespeck factory to Port Metaball children. It's a lie. Those several basement floors are actually storing drugs, some of which go into the candy to make kids horny.
 * The Chick
 * Cinderella Circumstances: It's even implied in her name! She goes from the well-to-do daughter of a factory owner to spending a few years of her life in servitude to an Ancient Conspiracy. (Among the few such in the series that's actually a good guy. Sort of.)
 * Meaningful Name: Goldsen = Heart of Gold.
 * Parental Betrayal: Natch.
 * Princess Tropes
 * Fallen Princess: From a legitimate part of the Goldsen legacy to a social outcast and slave to an Ancient Conspiracy, all because she knew too much.
 * Mafia Princess: Becomes one. She's not very happy about it.
 * Rebellious Princess: She refuses to partake in her family's Deal With the Devil.
 * Sadistic Choice: When she initially discovers her father cheating inside of his cabin getaway, she tries to flee without guards catching her and growing suspicious. A boater nearby immediately spots her, and offers her a ride. He takes her from the freshwater streams down into the saltwater between Port Metaball and Feltipwa (several nautical miles.) He then reveals himself to be covertly part of the guard service, only posing as a rescuer, and then demands "payment" from her in exchange for his silence. It leads to a struggle, in which he falls off his boat and into the water. Pinkella is told that she must either drive off in the boat without him, which would get her charged with grand theft boat, or let him back on and accept her fate. And is told that it's useless to ask God to save her. Before she can,  She is then rescued by helicopter. It never even crossed his mind this could happen, not that it would've stopped him.
 * Spoiled Sweet
 * The Unfavorite: Flarmin got to inherit the factory, especially after killing Fuschion and Rosetta at Corphel Frank's request. (Before Corphel betrayed the promise of We Can Rule Together.) Once la-Qualda began to take over the Goldsen family's minds more and more, Pinkella and her piety soon became a burden to them.


 * Viola Hunt

A long, long time ago, Pinkella and Viola were best of friends. That was when they were both eight years old, and living in a part of Feltipwa that wasn't all that bad. They attended gym classes over the summer together, although Viola was clearly better at it.

Fast forward to the present, and Viola is but a fond childhood memory to Pinkella, and vice versa. But Viola has developed the same desire as Pinkella to join the Voyager Program. However, she went directly for it, and remained undercover. The Xyliens agreed to let her join the Voyagers on their Whixtitout campaign, but did not even bother to mention her to them on their trip to Neothode.

Viola's had it a bit rougher than Pinkella. While the aloof Port Metaball remained fairly safe for half a decade longer, the Statonian government more or less left Feltipwa to fend for itself against Astrabolo's onslaught. Which didn't end well. All the destruction of war left Feltipwa in ruins, with once-respected neighborhoods soon reduced to ghettos and slums. When la-Qualda and Yehtzigs banned Minshan religion from the neighborhoods they dominated, respect among the locals for personal property all but completely vanished. The weak-minded and broken locals are rewarded for theft and rape, and punished for acting noble. In fear, they react.

A day finally came when Viola grew fed up with living in dire poverty, surrounded by senseless violent crime; and hatched a daring escape from her decadent island home. She immediately proceeds to sell tickets to a Balleni Points concert, rescue said Balleni from la-Qualda terrorists with Oceanoe's help, fall for Oceanoe, and develop a vaccination against Buliod's disease (that only benefits other Gel Pens.)

A tough shot at first, she quickly warms up to Oceanoe and the two become lovers. Well, as much as they can given the rules they set for themselves aboard the ship. She usually fades into the background when other characters begin to demand more screen time.

Associated Tropes:


 * Affirmative Action Girl: Viola Hunt appears from seemingly out of nowhere in the second season, and quickly convinces the team to let her join, in spite her eccentricities being confusing to them.
 * Black Purple Best Friend: To Pinkella, and later to Oceanoe.
 * Sixth Ninth Ranger: She joins in season 2, after proving herself more competent at pulling off a rescue mission than pretty much everyone else, shy of Liquidon.
 * Sassy Purple Gel Pen Woman: At least at first.
 * Soul Sista: Her manner of speech alternates between this and Jive Turkey.
 * Where Da White Women At?: She's the Gender Flip version of this, going for Oche rather than someone of her...normal persuasion.


 * Neone Delft

Born as Princess Wendim Shinroff, she was destined to be part of King Neotondo and Queen Jante's royal family in Neomlot. Alas, they had rubbed a sorcerer known as Intimidator Irendus the wrong way. He abducted the baby Wendim from them, and hid with her inside of the nearby Nabijab City. Nabijab was across the border, in a nation surrounding Neomlot. That nation, Britophondus, was one of the few strongholds left on Neothode that had not been taken over by the merciless Yehtzig Pirate League. However, their influence on Britophondus was obvious. Affiliated organized crime was everywhere to be found, and the police were increasingly apathetic.

Irendus eventually realized that nothing, not even the loss of his infant daughter, would break Neotondo's courage and integrity. Therefore, he needed to get to work; conjuring up a spell that would surely do in the royal family. He decided it was too risky to raise the baby himself, so he threw her in a dumpster instead, and left her to die.

However, a carpenter was walking through that alley a few minutes later as the rain picked up. He heard the baby screams, and immediately proceeded to find the baby. He had no way to identify her, but instantly fell in love with the sight. He took her home, and unofficially adopted her as his own.

Hidicky raised Neone to be loving and sweet, but she was never the rich Spoiled Sweet that Pinkella was. Indeed, her world was too much of a Crapsack World for that to happen. She did, however, learn to defend herself awful quickly. The culture was becoming more brutal, and it was not uncommmon for boys to assault girls for sadistic thrill. As society breaks down slowly all around Neone, it seems she has a harder and harder time finding any guy her age who doesn't appear to have Mommy Issues or else be a complete sociopath. Nice Guys Finish Dead.

She soon ends up in a playground conflict with Clandish Consto, and becomes the reason for his expulsion. Which, in turn, fuels his lifelong obsession with killing her out of revenge. Things only get worse for her when she grows up. She is about to enter the Save Neothode Program, realizing she may very well be transferred to the Voyager Program as an Exchange Envoy. Not that it matters to her: she's fed up with her home planet and wants to donate her time towards saving a world that is still worthy of being saved.

However, her father Hidicky has developed an addiction to gambling. One which draws the interest of a pimp mob boss named Pentacko. Pentacko immediately instantly wants to collect on Hidicky's only-recently-acquired debts, with interest, compounded in blood. Before Hidicky can even finish apologizing to Neone, Pentacko shows up and demands Neone come work for him as a prostitute. Even after she agrees to come peacefully, his goons beat her into submission and drag her to the car. They even smack her for crying. She is then Forced to Watch as they riddle Hidicky with bullets Sonny Coreleone-style while Pentacko is Laughing Mad.

She is sent into a basement brothel to await assignment, and punished for showing any sign of being hurt when Pentacko's enforcers are present. She befriends Susani Malone, a similar character to herself who has already become slightly hardened to the lifestyle. Susani encourages her to look for a way out, insisting that girls like Neone are Too Good for This Sinful Earth.

When Pentacko murders Susani brutally for botching up only one job, while Neone hides on a rooftop and watches, she decides she's had enough. It had already been two weeks, and Pentacko had already threatened to punish Neone for developing feelings for a client. That client, Carl Worniti, was savagely murdered because Pentacko deduced that Carl wanted more from Neone than just sex.

Neone steals a car, and then drives off into the night; fleeing into the enclave nation of Neomlot. Pentacko and goons, too busy cleaning up the mess of Susani's body, don't even realize that one of their cars is missing. Before reaching her destination, her car ends up in a wreck on a bridge after she'd successfully evaded Consto stalking her from his car. She is taken in by a friar, hidden inside the church, counseled, and then released undercover back into the Save Neothode Program. They give her a room cell at the Rilage Space Center to sleep in, since the streets are too dangerous.

From there, she enters the Voyager program and joins the Bindaf 3000 crew. She blends in quite well with the team, and even becomes Marlack's girlfriend. However, her joining the team nearly gets her killed as well. Their acceptance of her results in Cybomec becoming the sworn enemy of all of them. She becomes slightly less important in Season 2, but does discover that her real father is King Neotondo. It is too late to save him. Her only consolation is to rid the world of Intimidator Irendus; right before Astrabolo's conquest of Britophondus renders that moot.

Her two weeks of sheer hell result in a personal vendetta against the Sex Industry on all worlds, since the industry on Neothode was where Lord Yehtzig originated. This gets her into some trouble on Mantith, when Dirty Communists backing the Paltaki Organization, ACTBET, and the Crooked Rainbow (a.k.a. GLAAPC, Gay Lesbian Alliance Against All Possible Criticism) make her out to be an extraterrestrial Phyllis Schlafly. And begin the ultra-violent Aliens Go Home campaign in retaliation.

Associated Tropes:

"Consto: "You [Yehtzig pirate] tried to kill Neone. Only I...am allowed to kill Neone..." *proceeds to rip Yehtzig pirate apart*"
 * Adrenaline Makeover: Averted. Since Neone is a highlighter marker; with her cap on, it's impossible to tell if she gets more or less sexy underneath as a Voyager than as a prostitute.
 * Ambiguously Brown: Her Mantithian form. In spite her biological parents having a very European castle/palace home.
 * Cinderella Circumstances: Subverted in that Hidicky treated her quite well, and that she was originally born as royalty, but her life before the Voyagers still sucked.
 * And only got slightly better after joining them.
 * Does This Remind You of Anything? / Shout Out: Neone's (adult) part could have just as easily been written by Frank Miller.
 * And the fact that the other half of her bio is a pastiche of The Swan Princess, Anastasia, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty; and that her adoptive father had the same job as Gepetto. *sigh* Poor Disney/Fox/Nest/Whatever.
 * A sparrow pretends to show interest in her suffering briefly, before being distracted by a worm and forgetting all about her.
 * Fallen Princess: While she was still an infant, no less!
 * Foe Yay: Of the completely heterosexual variety with Cybomec.
 * Mate or Die: Deconstructed/Justified. Pentacko would kill her if she didn't take a squirt. And kills Carl when he reveals he's into Neone for more than sex.
 * Moral Guardian: Her personal crusade to expose sexual politics on Mantith, since she fears it will lead to the same decadence that allowed a Complete Monster to take over her homeworld.
 * Gene Hunting: Zigzagged in Repercussions. Would have been inverted, since Neone's biological parents were interested in knowing what happened to her first.
 * But the inversion is subverted in that they were originally fully content to leave Neone to her ignorance to protect her from Intimidator Irendus. However, they decided to make peace with their past and meet her anyway; since Friar Rubberion had confirmed Neone was Neotondo and Jante's daughter through a paternity test; and wanted them to face their fears. Then, Neone double subvert-inverts the subverted inversion by actively seeking to meet with them only to end the tabloid buzz, and not because she's terribly interested in being a part of a royal family.
 * Heteronormative Crusader: The sympathetic variety. It's the homounnormative crusaders that are out to get her! She merely says what they do is Sick and Wrong. They react with violence.
 * Hookers and Blow: Why Carl ordered Neone over the phone regularly: to keep her from being forced into this.
 * Hooker With a Heart of Gold: Although around Marlack, she initially acts like a Broken Bird.
 * The Only One Allowed to Defeat You:


 * Platonic Prostitution: Subverted. Although Carl Worniti does have sex with Neone, he hires her routinely more to keep her from ending up with a less savory customer than because he actually wants sex with her. When Pentacko finds out Carl's motives aren't purely about sex, things don't end well.
 * Princess Classic: Was born with the hopes of being one. But fate had other plans.
 * Save the Prostitute, Save Your World: Neone becomes an essential part of the team, and it is difficult to say if their goals would have even been attainable had she not joined. And all because they allowed her to join. Subverted in that they were never given any warning that she would be so relevant, or that they were supposed to keep her safe. It is noteworthy that it was her insistence on bailing Liquidon out of jail that allowed that useful member of the team to join. At first, only Consto seems to find any relevance in Neone's fate for the greater picture of the universe, and even then, only so far as it fulfills an ambition that is merely a delusion of his own twisted mind. Her desire to save Liquidon actually makes Liquidon a straighter example of Save This Person Save the World than Neone herself.
 * Sex Is Evil: Well, at least the forms Pentacko wanted her to perform.
 * Sex Is Violence: Pentacko's attitude about what his hoes should expect.
 * Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny: In spite knowing the horrible nature of her job, Neone begins to love Carl and wishes it didn't have to be about money, though she still feels bad about them not being married.
 * Sick Episode: She gets the flu after being on Mantith too long, and right in time for her to not be of any use against the Drismabon invasion.
 * Shoot the Shaggy Dog: She offers herself willingly to Pentacko's brothel in exchange for her father's life. And not only is the debt not pardoned, but she is Forced to Watch as he is Stuffed Into the Fridge.


 * Liquidon Ethereteel

The last tribe to pull out and flee like cowards during the Drisalian War was none other than the tribe of Elthivien, who had invented whiteout. That tribe also practiced developing martial arts more than any of the other tribes. When they were exiled to Whixtitout and became the Whiteout race, they were given a power nobody else had- Mikloche. The Mikloche Warrriors throughout history were trained in case one would be chosen to visit Mantith, usually under dire circumstances where their powers and training would prove useful. On their homeworld, Mikloche students had varying levels of popularity from one time period to another.

It was into this environment that Liquidon was born and raised. He had a twin brother named Liquimo, and the two would often practice their Mikloche studies together. They were also hikers, and were pursuing other professions. Liquidon wanted to become a doctor originally. However, all his plans changed when the Yehtzig Pirate League showed up. It's a very long story; but the important thing is that the Shinktor brothers, two Ooze Pens from Neothode who co-ruled the Yehtzig Cult/Pirate League, eventually picked a fight near a cliffside with Liquimo. Things seemed hopeless, as Astrabolo and his goons had Quimmy totally outnumbered. Worse, Ooze Pens are able to make their abdomens immune to Mikloche attacks!

Liquidon wasn't about to let his brother die so senselessly, so he quickly stepped in. He was far more disciplined in Mikloche than his brother, and knew the secret to taking out a being like Astriliad lay in tripping the podular. But he miscalculated! His maneuver actually shattered Astriliad's podular boot, and snapped an artery in the podular! Worse, it sent an agonized Astriliad flying - right off the cliff's edge! Too shocked that he'd actually kill someone in spite desiring to be a life saver, Liquidon froze. The gravity of what he'd done immediately hit him. Yet, he knew that Astrabolo was irredeemably evil; and that surrender was not an option. He and his brother retreated while the little sanity Astrabolo had left abandoned him.

Fast forward some time later, and Astrabolo is sending Yehtzigs to win converts among society's disenfranchised. He has targeted the entire world of Whixtitout for genocide, starting with Liquidon's hometown of Hifflosch in the nation of Verinthia. His plan includes getting his converts to infiltrate sex ed, rewriting the curriculum to suit their ends, rather than to what's in schoolchildren's best interests. Once they've encouraged preteens to be promiscuous, their next step is distribute condoms laced with the Buliod virus, so that the kids using "protection" would actually propagate the disease fastest.

Liquidon was working on a theory concerning how to stop the contagious disease, but was deflected into the Voyager Program by mutual agreement of his own government and the Statonian one for his safety, after several Brainwashed Whiteouts start making attempts on both his life and his research. Meanwhile, Buliod's has spread to his entire world, quickly rendering anyone who catches the STD immediately infertile, with no other symptoms.

He stays out of the picture for the most part in the first season, only showing up briefly to crash-land on Neothode. He immediately finds the Voyagers. But before he can explain the haste with which he must join them, he is mistaken for a terrorist and tasered into submission. He is immediately hauled off to the downtown jail. In spite being able to teleport, he waits for the Voyagers to come to his rescue. Since he never finished his medical license, he cannot be called a doctor. He settles for being a medic. It does bother him that he's not a fully-legitimate doctor, however. He spends his early time aboard the Bindaf 3000 being friendly and helpful, but trying not to do too much. He finally comes out of his shell, right in time for the Voyagers' Mantithian mission. It is here that his Mikloche powers begin to grow beyond what he believed he could achieve. Unfortunately, his battle with the Wizard Lamdock left his powers highly unstable. He soon begins to suffer agonizing pain, fainting and sickness, and more Power Incontinence than should be fair. He even fears becoming a Glowmatti and wiping out an entire city. Alas, he is the most powerful member of his team at this point. So a vacation for him does not seem likely.

He ends up in a relationship with Cindy, the Mosquatlon older sister of his hospital roommate Sylvia. Theirs was a tense, short-lived relationship built entirely around their common desire to save the world, in a sidequest that ultimately. As a result of her, his powers are weakened and made stable again. It doesn't entirely fix the emotional damage that's been done to him. He later proves to be a hero yet again, though less active, in the Second Drisalian War. Like Rhodney, he eventually leaves Mantith (and Statios) for good. Unlike Rhodney, he doesn't get the warm welcome. Nor does he manage to find love again for a very long time.

Associated Tropes


 * Aliens and Monsters / Interspecies Romance: His relationship with Cindy in season 3.
 * Blinded By the Light: One trick he can pull.
 * Celibate Hero: As desperately as he'd love to make love to Cindy, he refuses all her sexual advances. Justified in that his mere saliva would kill her. And due to the fact that the only women he is biologically compatible with are all in mortal danger, and it's partially his fault, serial dating would, generally speaking, be a very bad idea.
 * Chastity Couple: What he and Cindy settle for. She's not entirely happy about it.
 * Combat Medic: Though, he has a lot of his own health issues to worry about. He's there for the team when one of them is down - except when he's down. But he becomes an increasingly efficient warrior as the plot forces him to.
 * Flash Step: Mikloche teleportation is short-range only. Hence, it is difficult to tell if Liquidon is actually folding space-time or if he's merely jumping at the speed of sound. What matters is that he can be 80 yards away in 3/4 of a second.
 * Feather Against Proboscis Against Inktip: Fights one of these. Thankfully, he never gets an Aviatet admirer. That would be too much.
 * Holy Backlight: And front light as well. Generated by his own body, especially when he's flying or about to beat somebody up.
 * I Can't Believe a Girl Like Her Would Want To Be Anywhere Near Me: How he feels about Cindy's suicidal commitment to him. Their enemies not withstanding.
 * The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life: Subverted in that, thanks to the Voyagers having already broken the masquerade for everyone else, there really is no masquerade anymore. Not that it stops most everything else about the trope from being true about Liquidon's dating life.
 * The Mourning After: It takes him half a lifetime to get over losing Cindy. He never has any children.
 * Our Elves Are Better: Whiteouts generally move with the agility of elves, and are like a cross of Everything Is an iPod In The Future with Tolkienian elves with Medieval Japan. Mikloche Warriors, like Li's predecessors, are a lot like kung-fu monks. Or Super Saiyans.
 * Person of Mass Destruction: Especially after he crosses Shell 10.
 * Poisonous Person: Whiteout body fluids are poison to all other living things. Receiving human blood could kill him, however.
 * Power Degeneration: What Mikloche does when you abuse it, or when it becomes imbalanced due to wizards messing with you. Or a combination.
 * Power Incontinence: As he gets closer and closer to becoming a Glowmatti, his powers go from something he can manage to something that throws him around like a ragdoll as he struggles to regain control. He takes on a quasi-Mantithian form, as not even the Drisalian Curse can entirely hold its sway over him when he's that powerful.
 * Shrinking Violet: A male version. Justified in that he pushed Astrabolo, who had already long since crossed the Moral Event Horizon, well over the Despair Event Horizon; so that he doesn't even care if Utopia Justifies the Means or not. Liquidon is slow to forgive himself for the resulting fallout against Whiteoutkind, and feels he deserves to be mistaken for a terrorist by the Nabijab police.
 * Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes: Of the Type I variety. He engages in what is technically malpractice aboard the Bindaf 3000, can't seem to find a girlfriend that he can keep alive for long, etc. It is his usefulness later on that spares him from being the Failure Hero that Pextel is.
 * Supernatural Martial Arts: Mikloche
 * Superpower Meltdown: The end result of becoming a Glowmatti. Something he seeks to avoid, as the legendary Syuthan nearly became one, and nearly destroyed an entire village. Thestor also narrowly avoided this fate.
 * Team Rocket Wins: He and Rhodney are both captured by Nonpriel at one point.
 * These Phantomars And Podular Have Killed: His immediate response to having killed Astriliad.
 * Walking Wasteland: Why he and Cindy eventually agree to attack Varikton from different flanks. He is so powerful at that point, he is almost literally oozing UV radiation. True in a figurative sense as well. He sought to be the medic saving lives and curing viruses, and became a walking death curse instead. He also becomes super telekinetic at this point, and alters the cave structures to create a large Closed Circle when battling Varikton. Since he knows he could die any second, he decides to use his out-of-control power to his advantage, irradiating the evil Nazoli Mosquatlons and ripping them apart molecule by molecule.


 * Richard Ribando / Cybomec II

Rev. Richard Ribando was one of the most beloved ministers in all of Port Metaball, but he was blessed with an incredibly long life. That meant he got to outlive most of his children. His retirement was not a safe one: his home was blown to bits by rocket fire during one of la-Qualda's many raids. Ribando himself almost died. He was taken in by the Xylien Society, too weak to protest them. The decided to provide for his needs, though he begged them not to mechanize him. When his time came, he was ready. But...not so fast! While he napped, Ted and Yonber got his request cards mixed up with someone else's. He ends up being mechanized anyway. Erasaxo decides to keep it a secret from the other Voyagers, who are already disgusted that Consto's S-chip wound up in one of their emergency pods, leading to him becoming Preamble due to Nonpriel's meddling. However, Lamdock eventually gets one of his spells to work. This results in all the still-living Voyagers taking on a human form. He eventually has all of them captured in his lair, as Pextel lies helpless without his fuel rods inside the Bindaf 3000. The next shipment of 5-scale rods could take a while, but there are some 7-scale rods around. It'd be dangerous for humans to strip 7-scale rods down to 5-scale, so that means Pextel will have to wait. Erasaxo realizes he has no choice, and awakes Ribando inside of a rebuilt Cybomec body.

The new Cy becomes a chaplain aboard the Bindaf 3000, as well as the second-most-powerful team member after Liquidon in terms of offensive maneuvers. He also is aware of the Lightning Zebra Legend; which was collected from the old, defeated Cybomec body that Consto used. He is convinced that he has become the Fourth and Final Lightning Zebra of Time, though he's not very happy about it. After the Voyagers' adventures are over, he is retired to a freeze chamber in the Xylien Underground. Near the end of time, he is revived by Maurice to battle a revived Preamble. Thus, he fulfills the prophecy that: "The Lightning Zebra shall destroy the Opening to the Document of Death, so that it shall not be permanent."

Associated Tropes:


 * Badass Preacher: Well, chaplain as it were. Though he rarely gets time to do that with all the insanity and saving the world that goes on.
 * Elderly Immortal: Well, he was turned into a possessed robot. So it sort of counts.
 * Shock and Awe
 * Who Wants to Live Forever?: Why he retires to a deep freeze voluntarily. Sure, it's not Heaven, but at least he's away from the world and its cares. And it isn't Hell either.


 * Erasaxo Herrick

Erasaxo is probably the least understood member of the team. He appears out of nowhere, announces he is the ship's mechanic, requires more dire circumstances than most before he'll leave the ship, and almost never ever does any field work. He is the last Eraser Man in existence. Literally. The Grimplites and Yehtzigs wiped out his entire family. He does make a Heroic Sacrifice in season 4, as the Drismabons would succeed at most of their goals if Erasaxo hadn't destroyed  in.

Associated Tropes:


 * Butt Monkey: Most bad luck aboard the ship seems to happen to him, as well as cheap laughs at his expense.
 * Hidden in Plain Sight: At first, he tends to be ignored a lot. He doesn't mind; he enjoys some time alone.
 * Last of His Kind
 * Pals With Jesus: Even more so than the other Voyagers apparently are. The angels are frequently helping the Voyagers out of jams, but Minshus himself appears to Erasaxo right before he dies.

 * Clandish Terrence Consto / Cybomec / Preamble

Except in later season 3, when Ribando becomes Cybomec II, everyone initially refers to this Cybomec whenever the term is used. A bit more stylistic and translucent than his good counterpart, this Cybomec was easily the Face of Evil when the Voyagers were on Neothode. Granted, there were monsters more evil than he was all over the place; but he was the most iconic. He was a servant of a being he called Mezzlewradd, who was. As such, he followed his own sort of satanic religion. One which called for killing, but did encourage him to be somewhat selective about his targets. This contrasted him with the genocidal cult of Lorkush followed by the likes of Astrabolo. He began as a down-on-his-luck school child, who was frequently abused by his teachers. His parents, lost in fantasy worlds due to Vornsid's disease destroying their brains, generally neglected his very existence. All his father cared about was boarding up the house from (non-existent) bears while his mother held (imaginary) bake sales inside the house for not-there guests. A fight with Neone resulted in him getting expelled, leading to him vowing for life that he'd one day get his revenge. After a vision of Mezzlewradd convinces him to become a co-god in a bid to overthrow Minshus, he decides to go to work practicing for his "destiny." This results in him starting out as a lowly Serial Killer, offing prostitutes that work for Pentacko. As time goes by, he realizes that most of Pentacko's hookers did not choose the life they have. He then begins killing Pentacko's escorts, working his way up towards taking out Pentacko himself. He begins to love becoming and Anti-Hero, but then gets a chance to kill Neone! Foiled again! Pextel gets in his way! He vows to get even with the Voyagers for keeping Neone safe.

Maraldos of the Royal Military of Markerterion offers Consto to become Cybomec, and reads him the Lightning Zebra Legend. Consto was a cop for a time, and isn't entirely sure he wants to risk being the evil Third Zebra in prophecy. Yet, he decides it's worth it. But while Maraldos and company are doing their thing on Neothode, Cybomec takes his own path. He raids the Rilage Space Center to learn more about the Voyagers, becoming intimately familiar with all their psychological profiles and plotting ways to exploit them. Eventually, he takes over the Rilage Space Center and traps the Voyagers inside, for the epic showdown he always wanted with them. Plus, the Eveninger shows up to provide extra challenge amusement. Being defeated doesn't seem to bother him. His S-chip is reinserted into the Preamble body by Nonpriel later on, and he tries to learn sorcery from a wizard on the island of Mt. Antellio on Markerterion. However, he gets imprisoned in the Haragad Cavity by Maurice before he has the chance. He finally returns for one more battle with Ribando's Cybomec.

Associated Tropes:

"(to Pextel): "If not for our different deities, Pex...we'd be all too much alike!"
 * Adults Are Useless: His parents didn't even know he existed half the time, due to Vornsid's disease making them hallucinate.
 * A God Am I: His evilest ambition.
 * Ax Crazy
 * Conflict Ball
 * Cut Lex Luthor a Check: If he would've just accepted that Mezzelwradd was really  in disguise, and that the whole bid to overthrow Minshus was a joke, then he could've become the most respected member of Red Fleet. Heck, he could've replaced Nonpriel as the fleet admiral! He could also, theoretically, have fixed Alhox's amnesia with electro-shock therapy. Just like that, Bluque's Batman Gambit would be reduced to nothing!
 * But...doing so would have resulted in Melchar becoming the Third Zebra instead. Then, Alhox would have to adopt the hourglass symbol and Caloride would've had to be abducted by Maurice rather than going willingly. Consto as the Fourth Zebra would have led to a successful career, and redemption for a lost soul. But it also would've led to Armageddon arriving sooner.
 * Drunk On the Dark Side
 * Even Evil Has Standards / Evil Versus Evil: His following of Mezzelwradd may be literally satanic, but he does follow a few rules here and there. His attitudes are more in common with organized satanic religions, which vary on whom they deem Acceptable Targets, and when the timing of an attack is or isn't appropriate. This contrasts him with Astrabolo's Always Chaotic Religion of Evil, which also worships the Vile Chameleon.
 * And while he'd love to off Neone in spite their Foe Yay, he believes he should be the only one allowed to defeat her. So Pentacko must die to eliminate competition.
 * Also shown when he realizes not all prostitutes have a choice to enter their profession, and he from then on only kills hookers who became so of their own free will.
 * And because he remembers how he was traumatized as a child, he deems any adult who threatens to murder a small child in broad daylight an Acceptable Target for electric death.
 * He even avenges a priest who was trying to convert him to Minshanism, because the way that priest died was particularly stupid.
 * Evil Counterpart: To Pextel. In the last episode, he explains why they're Not So Different.
 * Foe Yay: With just about all the Voyagers.

"Hold still, Rhodney! I'll get back to you soon!"

{to Oceanoe}: "Come on, Blue Boy! You really think you can best me?"

(to Marlack): "Yippy kai yay, Cowboy!"

(to Pinkella): "Poor Pinky! What is it with you and losing battles?"

(to a henchman of Astrabolo's): "You tried to kill Neone. Only I...am allowed to kill Neone!" (cuts henchman to bits offscreen)

(to Liquidon, after sending him flying): "Gotta love the irony!"

(to Neone): "If I don't pursue godhood, then you're all I have left!!!""

""Close enough.""
 * Hoist By His Own Petard: See Villain Ball.
 * Ho Yay: Other than Pextel and Neone, Rhodney is the only Voyager he repeatedly refers to on a First-Name Basis. Otherwise, he's The Nicknamer.
 * Joker Immunity: Brutally subverted. He comes back for a few episodes in the second season, then appears as a vision to Sally Rubblindo and a few others. Otherwise, he's trapped in the Haragad Cavity with no way out.
 * Lucky Bastard: Yes, he's defeated. Yes, he  in the end. But, the fact that he is even able to cheat Maurice so long, and make a comeback as Preamble, often comes across as pure luck.
 * Meaningful Name: "In the presence of Flame and Hourglass, the Lightning Zebra shall defeat the Opening Statement of the Document of Death." And he becomes Preamble, "Dawn of a New Era." Right before battling Ribando-Cybomec.
 * Mommy Issues: His mother was so delusional because of Vornsid's disease, that he became invisible to her. His father was no different. The lack of anyone to confide in got to him. Hard.
 * Motive Decay: He begins wanting to kill Neone. Plain and simple. From there, his plans get infinitely more complicated, to the point that it's amazing he remembers his original obsession at all. And even after he is revived in the Final Hope timeline and realizes Neone already died of natural causes, he still continues his quest to overthrow God.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: How he lets the Voyagers defeat him. (See Villain Ball below.)
 * One Steve Limit: In his efforts to lure in and kill Neone, he accidentally ends up in a motel room with a hooker named Neone Washingtip.

""Oops.""
 * Parental Abandonment
 * Phantomar Aim Of Doom / Mind Over Matter: What he gets when he becomes Preamble. Replaces his Shock and Awe power set from when he was Cybomec.
 * Police Are Useless: And he can testify, having been one for a while.
 * Psycho Electro
 * Sealed Evil in A Can: His being abducted by the Angel of Death and sent to the barren world inside the Haragad Cavity. With an upper atmosphere that is made of pure time warp.
 * Not having a Mechie body to insert his S-chip into between seasons effectively makes him this as well.
 * Serial Killer
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky
 * Villain Ball: After losing his only fuel rod, he electrocutes Pextel to a crisp, who has both spare fuel rods and spare bodies. All he had to do was shove Pextel up against the wall, and leave his damaged, limping body. He could then have killed Neone when he had the chance. Then, he could have simply beat the crap out of anyone getting in his way, re-inserted his fuel rod, and gone back to being a Villain Sue. But NO! He fries Pextel just to make a point. But in so doing, he uses up all his reserve energy and his robotic body goes dormant, allowing a bunch of helpless diplomats to claim victory over him! It's the one time he goes from Lawful Evil to Stupid Evil.


 * Xanatos Speed Chess: He very quickly realizes when certain plans of his aren't working, and switches his (non-supernatural) allegiances very quickly to accommodate.
 * Wouldn't Hurt a Child: He's very picky about not hurting children that he feels could be useful when he's a god. He even spares the lives of several children by forcing them out onto lifeboats, after killing all adults aboard the main boat.


 * Grefundle the Collector

Grefundle is a disgruntled Little Green Man who looks like a plastic toy soldier. When an unethical Xylien abducted his girlfriend near Inkraine, he spent years looking for ways to get revenge. He eventually became a master at creating muellexic freezers, and developed a cave base outside of Sandlink on the other side of the large mountain that separates Port Metaball from a desert. From there, he plots to abduct several major figures from amongst the Xylien Society and freeze them, holding them for ransom to get his girlfriend back. Or keep them in stasis forever if she is dead. He has his own glider to fly around on as well.

Associated Tropes:


 * Does This Remind You of Anything?: His glider.
 * I Have Your Figureheads And Icons: Part and parcel with his revenge plot.
 * Love Makes You Evil: Someone stole his girlfriend. Now, everyone must pay!
 * Gotta Catch Them All: He has captured politicians, one Voyager, some Xylien royalty, and eventually, even captures.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: His very name suggests he keeps a Human Popsicle collection. Just substitute ice with time warp fields, and you've got it.
 * Put Them All Out of My Misery: What he's prepared to do.
 * Shout Out Theme Naming: Named after Grendel.


 * Ivan Witherpool

Ivan was raised since early childhood to despise organized religion. As of entering his teen years, he was inundated into a group of elite assassins that would do work for the Braldonian government. However, he enjoyed his job a little too much, going out of his way to kill everyone related to his targets rather than just the intended targets. And he would often overstep his mission by taking out missionaries in addition to political enemies. As such, it was only reluctantly that the Braldonian House of Lords agreed on hiring him to kill Gordon Lomken. He did so with deadly efficiency; but failed to kill Mitchell and Eliot. He now devotes is life to finishing the job. So Daldonians in power can get on their lives. For Science Propaganda!

Associated Tropes:


 * Blood Knight
 * Blonde Guys Are Evil: Though his hair is pretty short, he avoids actually possessing Bald of Evil.
 * The Hunter: He was taught since childhood to hate Minshanism, and seeks to kill anyone who dares defend its credibility, especially creation scientists.
 * Kubrick Stare: Having a human face helps, something Cybomec has a much harder time with.
 * Offscreen Teleportation: He is a trained assassin.
 * Perpetual Frowner: His only emotion seems to be defiance of the moment.
 * Psycho for Hire
 * The Quiet One: He carries out most of his tasks alone, and rarely ever speaks.
 * The Unfettered: There is no law he won't break to claim his target, though he abides by the law most of the time when it doesn't concern his target.


 * The Mystery Wanderer

After King Melchar vanished from the face of the world of Drizad, his son Prince Develiot took control. Develiot's major concern was the fact that there was something definitely missing: the Chameleon Amulet! Where had it gone? Who had it? And where was his father?

Years later, it shows up in the clutches of a mysterious Bedouin sorcerer, known only as the Mystery Wanderer. This figure, dressed like one of the Magi; goes around toying with various factions in the RMM's interplanetary war. He often tells characters that he is either helping or interfering with them based on his "plan," which he will never state outright. He has an uncanny ability to get almost anyone to trust him, even when they should know better.

It eventually dawns on everyone (except Bluque) that he is carrying the evil King Melchar's Chameleon Amulet. An amulet which...grants the power of shapeshifting and disguise to those who know how to wield it.

Associated Tropes:


 * Artifact of Doom: The Chameleon Amulet
 * Bible Times: His preferred suit is a Magi outfit. The cheesy, plastic nativity scene variety of questionable accuracy. That nobody seems to pay attention to.
 * Composite Character / Captain Ersatz / X Meets Y: Jafar meets the Smokey Man
 * The Chessmaster
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: He helps the Voyagers out sometimes, and sometimes supplies their enemies with an Evil Weapon or two.
 * Devil in Plain Sight
 * Evil Sorcerer
 * : A villainous version. He is really  The others had to outright refuse to put two and two together in order to not figure it out.
 * Horrible Judge of Character: Anyone who meets him is this. He has an uncanny ability to force those around him to grab the Idiot Ball, and not see him for what he is.
 * Joker Immunity: Seemed like a Karma Houdini for the longest time. No matter who he stabs in the back (or cuts down with a lawn mower,) for the longest time, it seemed he could get away with anything! And since he succeeds at this even where Consto failed, he is Consto's top competition for Most Amusing Villain.
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Misanthrope Supreme
 * Most Definitely Not a Villain: Except to Pinkata, who is the only one that goes with her gut feelings concerning him. Teleporting Whiteouts? To be expected. Teleporting Magi? Not cool.
