Captain Helen

2007-11-21T23:54:05Z

HomerNet:

Captain Helen is the ghost-like companion to Captain Homer. She has been with him since he was eight years old.

Captain Homer

2007-01-12T19:24:39Z

HomerNet:

Captain Homer is a technomancer who learned early on about his magical ability, and also learned that magic users are not welcome in Mexicali, the nation he was born in. As part of the opressed "whitey" class, those descended from non-hispanic origins, he was already somewhat untouchable when his magical ability first manifested. His family soon became a target for anti-magic hysteria, even though Homer had left his home to live in the "magic underground," a loose collective of magic users that made residences in abandoned buildings and other old structures. His life was one of being constantly on the run, however, and he rarely had any friends.

His extraordinary talent showed just what it could do when he somehow made a spiritform complete with it's own personality and intelligence. He had created Helen at the age of eight, and the two have grown up together.

Homer and other magic users were hopeful that their yoke in Mexicali would be lightened when the First Family brokered a treaty with the emergent Nova Europa. They soon discovered that the deal would do them no favors as powerful, advanced weaponry was placed in the hands of escuadrillas del barrendero, government sponsored lynch mobs that targetted magic users and their families. Hearing through the rumor mill that San Diego was soon going to be sweapt by the escuadrillas, he went there as quickly as he could as that was the last place his family was living that he had heard about. He made it back just in time to see his parents gunned down. He managed to find out that his sister had survived and left for Nova Europa with a Europan soldier she had taken a fancy to.

Having witnessed his family murdered, he devoted his energies to bringing down the Mexicali government, learning how to construct weapons and learning ways to vary his spell-casting to gain maximum effect in a variety of ways.

Since his technomancy is based on yogamancy, he has an afinity for the undead and has created many of his own spells for dealing with them. While in the Magic Underground working to bring down Mexicali, he heard of and saw some of the work of Dr. Baron von Evilsatan and quickly developed a distaste for the mad scientist.

At the age of 21, Homer and Helen managed to escape Mexicali and began wandering the world, not knowing much about the world outside the dictator state they grew up in. They journeyed through the Vegas Wastes a bit, not staying too long due to the magical radiation, and made it into Deseret. After staying there a while, they ventured south-east, and stumbled upon Felina. After a running firefight with the xenophobic felines and destroying a couple of their genetic manipulation facilities, Homer and Helen managed to escape Felina to the north and into the Eastern Wastes. Wasting as little time there as possible, they worked their way north along the Continental Divide until they encountered a small military instalation for Gal Zabor. At first mistrustful, they quickly found themselves almost fanatically devoted to Gal Zabor and immediatly joined their war effort.

Homer was instrumental in the breaking of the seige of the First Battle of Citrus City, employing a devestating weapon that wiped out nearly the whole population of the city and had the identical effect of a firebomb. He hasn't yet made a duplicate of this weapon.

Captains Homer and Helen

2006-08-31T22:11:31Z

HomerNet: Captain Homer of Gal-Zabor, freelancer and technomancer

'''Male Human Technomancer (Yogamantic)
'''
''Players with permission to auto:

* anti-paragon
''
'''''Homer is sometimes depressive, sometimes cheerful, but always pessimistic. If there's a best possible solution to a problem, Homer will come up with it, but implimentation of the solution will always depend on his ability to get others to go along with his plans. Fortunetly, he is a natural leader, or would be if not for his isolationist tendancies.'''''

Theme song: Take On Me (any version, but most especially Wohlstandskinder's punk version)

Deseret

2006-08-18T22:18:28Z

HomerNet: /* General History */

Deseret is the home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Mormons fled Utah after [[The Great Fall]] and formed this nation to protect their religion. It is located south of [[Svensylsquatostan]] and [[Gal-Zabor]], west of [[The Baron Lands]] and north of [[The Vegas Wastes]].

==General History==
When the Great Fall occured, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was hit pretty hard. The United States of America, on whome the Church relied for the civil rights protections for nearly 200 years, had lost most, if not all, contact with the western side of the North American continent. The Church's organizational structure and general disaster preparedness, both commandments direct from the prophets of the Church, allowed it's members to ride through the disaster relatively unscathed.

One thing the Church was not prepared for, however, was the sudden and inexplicable encroachment of verdent forests on what was normally desert land. The forests (see Isstara) swiftly overtook enough parts of Utah that the Church leadership felt it best to abandon Utah. Using all of it's conciderable resources, the leadership of the Church moved the entire management operations to Las Vegas, the second largest concentration of Saints on the North American continent, and shut down it's Utah temples as a safety measure. It turned out they needn't have worried, as while the forrests occupied every other part of Utah, the temples were left as they were, solitary buildings amidst a huge mass of forest.

As the rest of the western United States began to crumble into seperate states, Deseret, as the Mormons had taken to calling the new Las Vegas territory, did it's best to maintain contact with the United States by sending emissaries through Mexico, which thanks to missionary efforts before The Great Fall was very friendly to the Church.

General Helen

2006-08-07T05:22:17Z

HomerNet:

During the failed battle where Gal-Zabor attempted to take the Svensylsquatostan Capitol City, Captain Helen found herself with a corporeal form thanks to a disasterous series of events. Having nearly died right after recieving her body, she also realized that Captain Homer was dead, wiped from existence by the same accident that gave her a body. She, General Pertchin, and Major Knave began to reassemble a fighting force, only to have Gal-Zabor as a nation be wiped out by Mr. Big. They then joined with the remnants of the Svensylsquatostani military to fight their now common foe, Mr. Big.

Over the ensuing 10 years, Capt. Helen was promoted to General, befriended Komissar Katrina, and became one of the pillars of the newly formed Resistance to Mr. Big's rule. When Generals Helen, May, and Ann were captured by Mr. Big, both May and Ann were killed, leaving Helen with a case of survivor's guilt. She found some sollace in the arms of the newly promoted General Knave. Knave found himself falling in love with General Helen and the two eventually married, all the while Knave was working on his time machine.

General Helen watched as ally after ally fell, several formerly trusted people turning traitor, and more and more of the world was corrupted by Mr. Big's influence. Growing more and more bitter, she turned from the upbeat, prankster into a nearly unstoppable force against Mr. Big. Between her and Katrina, they managed to create a substantial dent in Mr. Big's plans. Mr. Big, having enough of that, set a trap for the two. He managed to kill Katrina, but Helen survived and took up Katrina's vengence oath and claimed her vengance blades.

General Helen's main weapons are a magically enhanced shotgun capable of continuous fire or a 100 yard long, 2 yard wide beam of pure magic, a magically enhanced GZ Luger capable of fully automatic fire, and the Evilsatan Vengence Blades.
