* [[Five Token Band]] : Actually more of a 12 token band. The group includes trolls from every caste on the haemospectrum, who have a wide variance in cultural backgrounds, social classes, et cetera. Heck, it even has the obligatory "plucky kid in a wheelchair" role. They're pretty much based on internet stereotypes for that matter as well.
