Hot Metal - Sept 1994
Character Introductions - The Duplus Twins
In the sign of Gemini reside the Duplus Twins, 8sy and Q. Appearing in three piece suits and flat caps, 8sy has an 8 ball motif and wears a black suit, and Q (with a cue ball motif) wears a white suit.
While both diplomats and both having a certain amount of charm, they’re both somewhat megalomaniacal and strive for power and control. Despite the fact they both strive for the same thing, 8sy is more aggressive, following a “Ends Justify The Means” philosophy. Q on the other hand is more underhanded in nature, relying on his polite demeanor to get him to a position of power.
The twins serve no master, and have no focus other than their bond as brothers, and the power they hope to obtain.
Character Introductions - The 33rd Infantry Division.
The members of the 33rd Infantry in the upcoming Terraphobia series.
The 33rd Infantry is led by Hog Squad, a squad of five people, although the entire division consists of over 250 men!
Hog Squad Membership
SGT. Piggy - A wall of a human being, standing at over 6 foot and as broad as a barn he is without a doubt the scariest man in the entire division if not the scariest man alive. Named for a birth defect causing his nose to resemble that of a pigs. He grew up in the small town of Plymouth, Indiana, and left to fight in WWI after his mother began to lose her mind. He’s obsessive about maintaining his gear, you would be hard-presses to find a crack in his gas mask, a scratch or dent on his helmet, or a tear in his uniform.
CPL. Fox - Standing at 5’5” with a toned body and an inexplicable need to be an asshole is Corporal Fox. Named such because of his agility, and his tendency to evade everyone during training events. Some swore there had to be tunnels because of how Fox would disappear and reappear. Fox hails from Medford, Oregon, and enlisted to make his parents proud.
LCPL. Legs - Having had his top half blown off in the war, and now just being a walking and talking pair of legs, people have realized where he comes from and what he does are kind of irrelevant, and that a magical pair of legs can kind of do whatever it wants. He sleeps in the closet.
PFC. Ram - Coming in at 6’ even, he is the corn fed farm-boy from Missouri, and while he isn’t exactly the brightest, he’s usually the most eager and willing to deal with a problem a head-on, sometimes to his own detriment.
PFC. Macaw - Standing at 5’6” he’s a smart ass that could give Fox a run for his money. He’s rarely content to sit around and do nothing, and prefers to plan on the fly. He grew up in the cold of Minnesota, and learned to survive on backpacking trips with his dad, the reason he enlisted is unclear.
Terraphobia is the fear of the ground. You should read that twice to let it sink in. Can you imagine living your whole life like it's a game of Lava?
hii! do you mind telling me where dan and phil live exactly ?
in manchester.
I'm not going to give out where they live !
he had hear of hydrophobes, and he wondered if there was another word like that, for him. or for what he was becoming. terraphobia? it was a fear of the rooted, urban world. of cars and towns and years on calendars.
