[about-faces]

In 1968, writer Jim Shooter—who started his career with DC at age 14, and was 17 at the time of writing this story—penned the sole Two-Face story of DC’s Silver Age, where Batman was brainwashed into believing he was Harvey Dent: the enemy he feared the most.

Superman, interestingly, became his own “most dangerous foe,” a guy named Kralik who never actually appeared before or since, and can thus be considered Shooter’s Ultimate Villain OC.

Character Introduction: The Main Gang

WIP: A Hero’s Call

The main gang is the second group of protagonists, all of whom are slowly introduced at different points in later parts of the Dimension Jumpers saga. The group consists of Lucent “Mallory Perrault” Ran’kai, Kralik Windwalker, Sierra Reaves, Rodney Miller, Jackson Merrick, Isa Lee, and Scissura. Drawn together by the common threat of Chaos and his cult, they have to both navigate their own personal problems and attempt to reconstruct the history of the people who became dimension jumpers before them, all while trying to keep Chaos from killing them all.

Lucent Ran’kai/Mallory Perrault: A warrior refugee from a war-torn planet of ice and snow, who has been a war prisoner for the better part of two years. It’s hard for her to adjust outside of the world she had known since she was fourteen, and her traumatic past has left her vulnerable to all sorts of manipulations. She is prone to misunderstanding people and meeting all situations with violence, and Kira has her work cut out for her when Lucent randomly appears in her living room one day.

Kralik Windwalker: An exiled troublemaker hopping between worlds, always looking to cause mischief. His mischief-making gets him in hot water when he meets the Dresden Crew, however, but soon enough he discovers that maybe his days of running are over. Will it last, though, when he can’t even bear to face the darkness within himself?

Sierra Reaves: The daughter of interdimensional bounty hunters, she inherited her Mark from her mother, and with it the powers of the dimension jumpers. She and her boyfriend Rodney come from a world of powerful demonic forces, and after a battle with Satan himself, she ends up half-demon and with acidic blood. A taker of no shit, she sometimes can’t fathom what forces drove her and Rodney towards the rest of the Main Gang.

Rodney Miller: The middle child in a family of demon hunters, and the only survivor of a demonic attack that took the rest of his family, Rodney is serious and incredibly talented, despite what his habits may indicate. After an adventure to Hell with his girlfriend Sierra to avenge the death of his family, Rodney thought he could finally get some peace. At least, until Kira Shade showed up on their doorstep.

Jackson Merrick: Jackson was taken in by an interdimensional biker gang called the Bloodhunters after he ran away from his abusive home. There, he ended up falling in love with a man named Edrisa and gaining his dimension jumper’s Mark. After a shootout left Edrisa dead, Jackson’s grief activated a deeply hidden power: the power to bring the dead back to life. Fearing what the gang would use his powers for, he ran again until he came across Isa Lee in another world. Of everyone, he is the most resistant to being drawn into whatever fate has planned for the Main Gang, but only because it endangers him and Isa.

Isa Lee: The daughter of a human man and a Queen of one of the faerie courts, Isa’s life had been one of lies and trickery, until the day she got her Mark and gained the powers of a dimension jumper. She used this power to hide herself away in the forest, where the fae couldn’t find her and where she could live as she pleased, away from the politics of her mother’s court. After running into Jackson in the woods, she saw they had a common bond, and she invited him to live with her. A healer at heart, she could never live with herself if she let any of the others get hurt.

Scissura: A shapeshifter from a jungle planet who harbors a deep vitriolic hatred of the dimension jumpers due to the actions of one of their predecessors, which ended in her having to share her body with the entity known as Red. She heads a group known as the Guardians, who take missions in other worlds as bodyguards and protectors of the innocent. She views her powers as a curse and is livid when Kira accidentally ends up at her doorstep. Unfortunately for her, her group’s fate rests on being able to stop Chaos and his armies from destroying everything.
