Updated the list of characters from my previous journal. More detailed explanations of The Renegades and other in their universe. Here goes nothing!

"First off, the superhero universe of The Renegades

Alan Nicolas Wolfsheim - Cheetah, leader of The Renegades, codename Gatecrasher, can emit blasts of light from his body, mostly from his hands, mouth, and eyes. The light creates a concussive force and is generally non-lethal. He also has two tools he uses to enhance his powers in close range combat, one is a small handle-shaped device he uses with his left hand and a circular device strapped to his right wrist. The handle is a focus for his light energy, allowing him to create a constant beam of light but restricting his use of his powers while active. The circle on his right wrist is similar in function, but shapes the light into a solid, durable surface. In essence, they are a sword and shield for Alan, but using both means his powers are "occupied" and he cannot fire his energy. Alan is my fursona and represents me in the furry community. If I would or would not do something, so would he.

Masamune Kuronai - White tiger, member of The Renegades, codename Tank, has incredible strength and nearly invulnerable. Masamune's skin is nearly impregnable, but he does have soft spots, as anywhere not covered with skin and muscle is much less durable (eyes, ears, mouth, etc.). He also is strong enough to throw cars (roughly .5-1 tons) and break walls, but can be overpowered by some super powered villains. Sexaholic, alcoholic, frat boy, playboy, wrestler, and many other things, Masa tends to be loud first and think second. Actually a sweet guy, his caring nature gets outplayed by his bravado, and also by his general desire to have sex with nearly anything that walks.

James McAllister - Brown rabbit, member of The Renegades, codename Twister. James has no true super powers, but has been trained exceptionally well in combat and espionage, son of a Secret Service agent and trained in the American Military. While he classifies as only a basic Mod, not a power Mod, he is still a valued member of the Renegades as his knowledge of tactics and weaponry, as well as his skill with both, are invaluable. Cute, sweet, flirtatious, but always kind, James is level headed and cheerful even in dreary times. Always optimistic, his endless cheer can sometimes get on people's nerves. While fond of intercourse, he is not as sex crazed as Masamune, though the two of them become intimate on and off quite often.

Lurianna Gilgaia - White house cat, member of The Renegades, codename Siren, creates illusions by singing. Lurianna has a difficult time controlling her powers, as they are activated by the mere sound of her voice, so she is soft spoken if she speaks at all. Lurianna is sweet but terribly ditsy and gullible. She always tries to help others, even when she has no idea what she's doing, which will quite often lead to her making things worse, though they always manage to work back out again. Outside of being a superhero, Luri has taken to being a small time pop-star, somehow managing to throw of any attempts of connecting the pop-star with her super powered maiden alter ego.

Baxter "Titmouse" - Dwarf albino mouse, member of The Renegades, codename Schism, can turn his body into electricity and travel through wiring and conductive materials. While it is difficult for his body to sustain damage while pure energy, he has no ways of defending himself against attacks, and can only shock another person through direct combat by generating low current electricity inside his body and sending it through his skin. One of his signature moves is called "The Shocker" which has both to do with his electric powers and the sexual hand position. An older man, Baxter enjoys beautiful women, and enjoys tricking Lurianna and getting her into compromising situations. He has convinced her that he needs to spend time touching her breasts or else he will die, as he is a "titmouse" and she doesn't understand what that really means. Since he has never done anything to harm her, and if anything seems more protective of Lurianna as a result of his odd relationship, the Renegades have yet to break the farce.

Shane - Raccoon, member of The Renegades and of Stargaze, codename Shade, becomes invisible by altering the reflectiveness of himself and wears special clothes that become see through with him. His powers work by altering how light hits him, allowing it to simply pass through instead of reflecting as light normally would. He has also been trained as an assassin, using a short sword because the weapon makes no sound if he is invisible. Moody and dark, Shane is aloof and grim, always cynical and blunt. He has a soft spot for Navixus, and was a member of the Stargaze team of supers, which included Stella and Giselle. After the team's betrayal, where Giselle turned on her teammates and attacked, killing Stella in front of Shane, the raccoon ran, afraid for his life and feeling tremendous guilt over not being able to protect his teammate. He takes that guilt out on himself and works himself ragged protecting his new home with The Renegades, and still holds out hope that Stella is alive.

Navixus - Mouse whose skin is purple, fur is light orange, and eyes and hair are green, member of The Renegades, and codename Pyroclasm. He can generate fire at will, though he has issues controlling the flames once generated. He has deeply implanted brainwashing buried by code in his mind that when activated takes away his willpower and turns him into a living weapon under the control of the person who activates the brainwashing. Tortured by the experiments that gave him his powers, Navi is jumpy and timid, but tries hard to escape his past and become stronger, if only to impress Shane. He secretly loves the raccoon, wanting desperately to make him proud and hoping that Shane will some day return a little of his feelings.

Stella Sinclair - Panda, member of Stargaze, codename Obsidian, generates mirror images of herself that can look and feel real, but fade after a short time. Using her illusive powers she evaded death when Stargaze was betrayed by one of their own, Giselle, faking her death both to save herself and to get Shane to leave and save himself. Her dying illusion was found by Shane, who believes her dead. She is afraid of revealing herself to him after seeing the pain her supposed death caused him, though she does not know that Giselle still pursues him with the intent to kill him. Stella acts like a big sister, very kind and loving even when she plays roughly.

Giselle Verain - Pink house cat, former member of Stargaze, only her codename is known to the Renegades, to which she is known as Myst. Her fur releases small crystals that absorb light around them, creating a fog-like effect that can blanket a large area. A strong enough wind would make maintaining the cloud difficult, and a stronger wind would make it nearly impossible for her. A trained assassin, she betrayed the other members of Stargaze, Shane and Stella, out of greed and jealousy. Her jealous rage over the close friendship her teammates made her more receptive to offers to betray them, and she lashed out in a murderous rage. Continues to work for whoever pays her the most, which tends to be the enemies of The Renegades.

Ricky Tormaline - Meerkat, independant, he has the power to draw out people's wills by touching exposed flesh; the more intimate the touch, the stronger the effect. Ricky works for himself and only himself, though occasionally finds it in his interest to side with The Renegades and help the greater good. He has an entourage that serves him, their wills almost completely drained by his power, leaving them in a hypnotized-like servant state. Among them are a bull, a horse, two wolves, and a large black panther, all male. While all are athletic and trained to defend themselves, Ricky would never risk their lives in open combat, preferring to operate behind the scenes where the generally moral Renegades wont interfere and he wont draw the attention of more vile entities.

Seamus Caedren - Red husky, detective and internal affairs representative for The Renegades. Seamus has the power to mentally rewind the space or subjects his eyes see, allowing him to have knowledge of events that occurred regarding an area or a person. An old friend of Masamune, the two have similar personalities, but Seamus is a more reserved, sweet talking Irishman who enjoys using his silver tongue to get his way rather then flashy displays of grandiose might. Handles communication with the government for The Renegades, informing local law enforcement when and when not to interfere, and aiding them by getting political forces off their backs. Works as a police officer when he's not being pulled one way or another by the government or the Renegades.

Sharktooth - Shark, general rowdy troublemaker and hired muscle. He is able to launch large projectiles from his body in the shape of razor sharp shark teeth. These projectiles are some of the only things that can cut through Masamune, though it takes a few hits in the same spot. Cuts made by the projectiles tend not to heal well, and the teeth are serrated so as to cause more damage if they are pulled back out in the event they get caught in something. Sharktooth was involuntarily made into a power Mod, a death row criminal already, he was kidnapped and experimented on after the initial pool of volunteering subjects dried up. This has made him bitter and resentful to anyone who is still a normal human, and he wants to punish the people that twisted him by killing them, but invariably ends up working for them as his attacks on normals are stopped by the Renegades.

Diana Quill - Large female Naga, villain name Kadru. She has the ability to read surface thoughts and predict people's actions based on their thoughts. She can also use the senses of anyone she "piggybacks," though it is in a weaker sense when she is fighting, as she usually only has the time to see where someone is aiming and react accordingly. Diana also has the ability to fire blasts of energy from her mouth, much in the same way that Alan can. They are roughly equal strength to Alan's as well, and when both beams collide they reflect each other with dangerous side effects. Diana is cruel, using her mind reading abilities to cause chaos by dismantling people's lives and protecting herself using her more offensive abilities. She is also obsessed with wealth and jewels, and has a hoard that she moves regularly to keep it safe. Her strength and dexterity are above average because of her snake-like attributes. She thrives off of this chaos, satisfying something deep inside herself that only she understands. She is a rival of Lurianna, her jealousy over the cat's success and persistent luck in the world of normal people making her loathe the female hero, and she actively works to tear the cat down.

Jessica Ravelle - Female red panda Mod, member of the Renegades, codename Roulette. Her codename does not derive from any ability to manipulate "luck" or any force of chance, instead it refers to her ability to digitally construct a variety of weapons and use them effectively when combined with both implanted subconscious knowledge and mental control of the things she creates. She was also born with incredible regenerative abilities, able to quickly heal anything short of loss of a limb. Roulette is surprisingly gentle, despite her vicious capabilities in combat, to the point of near pacifism. Despite her incredible combat abilities, she rarely travels from the Renegade's command center due to unwillingness to fight or cause harm. She prefers to stay at the home base, controlling the communicators Renegades use while in combat and making sure that if anyone needs help the others know about it. Her combat weapon of choice, when she is forced to fight, is a chain scythe.

Rex Ravelle - Male red panda Mod, brother of Jessica/Roulette, no group affiliation or code name. As Roulette's twin, he has the same regenerative abilities as she does, and was part of the same Mod program that gave her the ability to digitally construct weaponry and have limited mental control over their creations. Rex is violent beyond measure, taking to his combat training like a fish to water. He enjoys nothing more then causing pain, a pleasure he easily took out on his sister when they were growing up. A sociopath, Rex and Sharktooth have much in common in their love of violence and pain, and he often gets Sharktooth involved in murderous schemes, if only to give the Renegades something to fight while he attacks his sister. Unfortunately, Rex is not as smart as his sister, and acts without thinking, a reckless abandon that foils him more then he would like to admit. He also prefers a chain scythe as his instrument of pain.

Amy Raul Day - Female quetzal mod, member of the Renegades, codename Emerald. Amy can fly, has mid-level super strength, and can generate emerald with a thought, able to create nearly anything from the precious stone, thought she can only create it a short distance from her body, but can grow existing emerald at a distance. A second generation Mod, Amy had originally been recruited from the United States military, a young recruit who had no idea of what life in the military was like and no combat experience. She was recruited under the guise that the experiments would give her an edge, with full knowledge she would get supernatural powers. Being naive as she was, she agreed, and was transformed into Emerald, a fighter for freedom and justice. As her military career bloomed, she was ordered to perform more and more heartless tasks, slowly eroding away her faith in the program and her loyalty to her superiors. The day came where she was ordered to wipe out a civilian city under the guise of it harboring terrorists, and she gave in to her doubts, having to fight her former teammates for her freedom after her defection. Luckily, the people that she saved had been saved before by others like her, and told her where to find and how to contact the Renegades. She now fights for the Renegades, believing she now serves the true greater good. Intense and emotional, she is also incredibly loyal to her friends and will defend anyone she feels is being done an injustice.

Eric LaGrey - Male squirrel monkey mod, member of the Renegades, codename Gamut. Eric's powers allow him to extend his limbs, his body a stretchy, rubbery consistency when he wants it to be. He is also supernaturally strong, but no where near the capacity of Masamune or Amy, only enough to throw his body limbs around while stretching. Eric was a civilian before he became a Mod, coming a more uncommon type of monkey-human mix, but following his heart as he did so. What he didn't expect was his eventual kidnapping, as receiving a mod had alerted the team of scientists performing his modifications that he contained the genetic marker that most readily allowed for supernatural genetic augmentations. When he finally escaped his captors, he was already changed, a Power Mod for the rest of his life. Learning to control his powers was something he did quickly, as he was persued relentlessly until he found and joined The Renegades. A kind, sweet guy, he doesn't like hurting anyone if he can help it, and has a thing for shy people, whether male or female.

Adam Brill - Male antelope mod, independent, codename Dreamer. Adam is little different from any other animal mod, aside from the slight boost to his athletic abilities being part antelope. Adam is, however, a first generation Power Mod, and has a unique power that only activates while he's asleep. As a result he is always tired, since his body is not at rest while he sleeps. Adam's powers put him in a manic state while he sleeps, his body acting on some strange instinct while his unconscious mind dreams. While this power is active he is strong beyond comparison, able to jump buildings or tear them down with ease. Even though his conscious mind rests, Adam remembers what his unconscious body does, often leading to a horrific nightmare of memories upon waking. He is finding a measure of control over his powers through his dreams, but that is causing him to lose sight of what reality really is. A gentle man at heart, he is tortured by the things his manic side does, distancing himself from others to protect them from himself while he is not in control.

Alejandro Casamayor - Male white moth mod, member of the renegades, codename Dust. Child of an immigrant Mexican family, Alejandro got his education in the United States. Thanks to changes in American health care, he was given a chance to get mods to cure a genetic disease that would have taken away his eyesight. His new eyes were part human, part moth, and part bio-mechanical. The parts that gave him power mod status were the latter, and were not part of the modifications he chose for himself. As a result of his eye and body mods, Al can fly, with a lighter and frailer body to match, and has extra levels of perception. His brain was also modified with bio-mechanical parts, allowing him to unconsciously make rapid and accurate assessments of the levels of power and abilities held by other mods. Al was a sweet kid, and is still young compared to most of the Renegades. He joined them after being pursued by a shady organization that sought to use his analytic powers to their advantage, and the Renegades rescued him from an attempt on his life. He uses his powers now to help the Renegades get more accurate information on the foes they face, helping his new friends the only way he can.

Outside of this group, there's only a few more!

Terrakaris - Dragon, earth elemental and near god. Has power over the earth and all things that grow from it. Can shape-shift into a smaller form that looks like a 7 foot tall green lizard with horns, and loses his wings when he does so, though they appear as a tattoo on his back. Kind of heart, he protects those that travel through his woods but becomes outraged when his forest is disrespected or harmed. Has a breath attack, but what the green flames scour and burn soon bursts forth with plant life.

Sammy - Panda, Stella's son from her alternate universe where she owns a strip club. He is a sweet little boy, only 6, and is as innocent as can be. Thoughtful, he sometimes says profound things without realizing the true impact of his words.

David - Ferret, from my story series "Find Your Way to Me." Slim and shy, David is a high school bookworm that works out his brain more then his body. Falls hard for his crush, the wolf Zack, he semi-stalks the wolf, but tries not to be creepy with it, only taking pictures of Zack's best moments. Has 6 abusive older brothers that David's parents are powerless to stop.

Zack - Wolf, same age as David, football star from the same story series. After having his girlfriend cheat on him with his best friend, Zack has to get tutoring to help his failing grades or be kicked off the football team. David, normally a victim of Zack's bullying, becomes his tutor, and after finding one of David's pictures of him, finds he has feelings for the ferret. Hates David's older brothers because of what they do to him."

And there you have it. Why do I always do these around 4am? Dunno. Anyway, goodnight all!
