Jean-Claude Picard Van Damme Rambeau Killey. JC, a mage from Tobrinel, was experimenting with a dimensional door spell when a mishap occured. He is now spatially unstable -- the activation of any teleportation causes him to randomly teleport to somewhere else in Ataniel. Great stress may also trigger this.In true Tobrinel style, JC tries to be a gallant hero, but is somewhat nerdy.
This sweet, gawky mathematician, scion of the powerful Paris family of organized crime, is actually a sentient math equation created by Robinson Paris. As such, he tends to mess up magic cast on or around him unless his equation is specifically factored in, and his form changes unpredictably on other planes. He also doesnt bleed, does not need food, sleep, or air, can become incorporeal at will, and is vulnerable to dispel magic, which destroys his corporeal body. Recently, Jacks equation was split into two subsets, one of which was secreted in a Shikinti temple to guard a dimensional secret and the other of which traveled with the Rat Pack until he sacrificed himself to banish lwyn. The subset from the temple wound up absorbing many of the Rat Pack Jacks memories in an attempt to save his life, and he has since joined his counterparts friends. The sacrificed Jack is assumed to have been destroyed, though an amnesiac young human resembling him has (unbeknownst to anyone but the readers) surfaced in Darwood calling himself John Yearlate.

Jack's a really sweet guy. He's probably my best friend in the world, actually. We used to ride together during the Clan Wars, and without Jack, the Clan of the Silver Crane would have fallen. He's got a peerless analytic mind, and a great compassionate heart. He even introduced me to my fiancee, right
before he left Shikintu. Too bad he's so down on himself. Someday he's going to have to open up to someone about what's eating him.
--Cori Yoshida
The man is a fucking rock. He acts so awkward all the time, it's easy not to notice. But he's the rock of Takatu, and I don't know where I'd be without him.
Orator from the land of Brittanych, also known as Alain. Killed by his lover, Shannon, his body was brought back to life by
the human-demon spirit of the Sunfighter. As such, he retains many of Sunfighter's memories, but his own personality.
Blind since birth, he wears a faerie-given visor that allows him to "see".
--Who's Who V1
Janther Moria was the second incarnation of the Sunfighter. He was a demonic hybrid created by the
fusion of the demon lord Tjekanefir, released by the untimely detonation of the first Sunfighter, with a revolutionary orator from Brytannwych
named Alain MacLir (pronounced like Elaine, not Alan, in Ataniel's dialect of Gaelic). Retaining a portion of the psyche and memories of Lian
Lithanden Tweedy (the young bard initially possessed by Tjekanefir), the Sunfighter was in fact snowballing out of control. The mortal psyches
accumulated by the powerful demonic fusion were accelerating the aging process of each host, at an exponential rate that would eventually
destroy the mortal population of Ataniel. This proved to be a plot on the part of Brionwy, Tjekanefir's mother/lover and the lesser goddess of
deception. This situation would not be resolved in Janther's tenure as Sunfighter. Janther
Moria was deconstructed into Alain MacLir and Tjekanefir once again by the machinations of Iolleil.

Kicks giant butt with his eyes closed. I'm proud to have known the guy.
--Schneider
I wish I'd had more time to know him, and had been less on the edge of craziness while I did know him. I always admired him--he seemed to understand and interact with the world around him so much better than I ever managed. Lord knows he had more patience with it. I'll miss you, Janther.

Deconstructed into a demonic force and Alain MacLir, q.v.
An elementalist from a long-ago day, Janus resurfaced recently when Warp came back in time at the behest of Jack Paris to help the Rat Pack, disguised as the faceless hero. More recently still, a third Janus has been sighted, also in the vicinity of the Rat Pack; his true identity is still unknown.

Javert
A man obsessed with upholding the law, he held positions as head of police in Neporris, in Lianth, and in Rimbor City, until, crazed by Bane, he joined the forces of Shadow, killing himself in shame soon after recovering his senses.
Javin is a theocracy in transition. The Morvonic religion of this mountainous peninsula country has been shattered by the death of the gods and the religious schism caused by the arrival of an alien from Zaptiocalionaziokoosbiliarth who believes himself to be the angel Zerthimon. Furthermore, despite the conservative, pious, patriarchal, feudal, and culturally judgmental atmosphere of the country, the capital city--which has not been noticeably estranged from the rest of the country, nor influenced its mores much--has somehow become socially progressive, vegetarian, and quite feminist under the flamboyant and popular Mayor Tila. (Click here for a map.)
--from the Reference Almanac of Ataniel, 813
Javin is the stupidest country in known existence. They worship either a law god who pays no attention to anything that goes on, a chaos god who likes to kill everyone, or a neutrality god who has only one priest at a time and apparently gives them zero instruction. And they're ALL FUNDAMENTALISTS. Zero stars.
--Threnody's travel guide
A nice place to visit, if you have, like, zero sense of humor. But I guess, since it's the home of Morvon, and I am the leader of the new Morvonics...Yay, Javin. Yay.

Young thief from small-town Cynystra. He is a member of the Silver Bullets adventuring team.
--Who's Who V2
I admit, I was not expecting much from a thief. To steal another person's hard-earned belongings is dishonorable and, unless one is
starving, also mean-spirited. However, Jimmy seems to be a good sort and brave as well.

This amnesiac young human surfaced recently in the small town of Darwood, where he befriended Jackson Cage and became enamored of his sister Tama. His relationship to the lost Jack Paris, whom he resembles and some of whose memories he seems to have buried in his mind somewhere, is known only to the readers. He is, however, fully human (sleeping, bleeding, etc.)
