REAL WORLD

Real World Name: Leslie Harrington

Real Age: 17

Gender: Female

Backstory: Leslie found this game about three months ago and fell in love with it. It's story, graphics and even the music and sounds were just spot on. She's played it constantly during whatever free time she has. Her family and friends are a little worried with how obsessed she's become with this game. It is an obscure game though, it's doubtful anyone else in town has even heard of it, let alone plays it.

Avatar's Name: Silver Maiden

Genre: Role Playing game

Avatar's Appearance: While not an adult game, the game is not for children and the character's wear very little. The Silver Maiden wears a breast plate but it litterally only covers her breasts, she has gloves that extend up to her elbows, a skimpy skirt that barely covers her rear end. And knee high boots. All of this is colored silver with black highlights.

Game/Franchise Backstory: Bloodreign is your typically MMO RPG. You play as the main character who has to go around solving everyone elses problems and doing a lot of fetching stuff. It's pretty fun, but what makes it stand out is it's turned based combat system that uses a battle grid. Most MMO's tend to be action rpg's where you are fighting the monsters in a free range mode.

So the story of Bloodreign is your typical orphan trying to find what happened to their parents who were some great heroes in this world and the main character is destined to be just as great as them. But there are twists and stuff along the way. Leslie hasn't beaten it yet as it is a long game and she does have a lot of commitments on her time right now. She's in her final year of high school, in the gaming club the school runs and has an after school job to save up money for college.

Real Age: 26

Gender: Closeted Trans Woman

Backstory: Shannon is a relatively recent college grad, designing web apps. Most people know them online as Ripplenmirror.

Avatar's Name: Jadedespool

Genre: Vehicle Combat

Avatar's Appearance: Jadedespool is a typical short stacked big eared green goblin with a mane of spiky radiant pink hair, grease stained overalls and brass goggles. She does have a gift vanity pet in the form of a floating hand mirror that follows her arround.

Mecha's Appearance: While each arena is potentially different as building one's mech is a central point, her usual build has a hunched four limbed shape. It has short piston legs in wood and steel, with a long flat tail and back spikes for curling into a wheel. It has a beaver style chisel jaw, one reciprocating spear arm with drill bit arm and one crab claw cannon arm.

Game/Franchise Backstory: Goblin Gizmos was a bit of a flash in the pan MOAB built of heavily recycled assets from an older RTS game. It received high praise for its deep game play and dynamically balanced strategy and tight controls but suffered from newer shallower game with better graphics that sucked the air out of its potential market. The game itself is played as Goblin scapper/mechanic/mech-pilots chop trees, mine ore, loot ancient spacecraft all trying to reign Supreme in the battle arena.

Avatar's Name: Lady Electrica

Genre: MMO RPG, Tanker with Super Reflexes, Electrical Melee and Superspeed powersets.

Avatar's Appearance: Lady Electrica is a 5 foot tall, busty pink haired powerhouse.

Game/Franchise Backstory: Heroine Central is a MMORPG superheroine game.  It has a versatile character creation system and players can build their characters story by what mission sets they complete leading to lots of replay value.  It was popular for about 2 years, but since then has been moved to the backburner as its popularity decreased.  At one point the game was shut down, but then was picked up by a group of fans who managed to get the game license and its popularity has been increasing.

Real World Name: Sarah McNeil

Real Age: 23

Gender: Female

Backstory: After getting into the game about a year and a half ago after accidentally stumbling into a tournament during a convention, Sarah quickly found out she's got quite the knack for Hyperfight!. She's been absolutely dominating the scene in the town for quite a while now, and was planning to go to her first major soon (before all this Battle Grid stuff started happening).  It's especially impressive given that her main, Dura-Noka, is at the very best only mid tier at the moment, and has failed to get many meaningful results elsewhere.

Avatar's Name: Dura-Noka

Genre: Fighting Game

Avatar's Appearance: A dark gray skin is stretched over the wall of muscle that is Dura-Noka, the 7 '1'' hulk of a man towering over the other characters of Hyperfight!. His eyes, nostrils, hair, and mouth all pulse with a red-orange glow as if he had molten metal for insides instead of flesh and blood. He wears a billowing layer of cloth secured around his waist and has nothing for a top except leather straps around his stomach, chest, shoulders, arms and wrists.
Game/Franchise Backstory: The fighting game genre was properly born in 1991 when Fists of Rage III released to massive success, becoming a cultural icon practically overnight and becoming one of the first great video game hits. However, in the following decade no game was really able to match the genre's progenitor, and while plenty of games were still being made, other genres threatened to push fighting games into more obscure corners of the gaming world.

That was, until the release of Hyperfight! In 2002. The game was revolutionary, with both fun casual gameplay and an incredibly polished competitive experience, practically unseen in ANY genre at the time, and with a fantastic pseudo-anime aesthetic on top of it.  This release, along with the debut of Fists of Rage V (often said to be nearly as good as Hyperfight!) six months later, reintroduced the genre to a wider audience and it's remained there ever since, later being sweeped up into the e-sports craze a couple years afterwards.

Dura-Noka was the primary villain in the first Hyperfight! And has returned to the latest installment, Hyperfight! 4: Godpalm. Famously described by Koji (Hyperfight!'s main protagonist) as a "Mountain unto Thyself," Dura-Noka is an unmoving, nearly emotionless force of destruction, fighting with the calm and powerful Nurhoda style while ruthlessly marching towards their goals, contrasting with the fiery protagonist's aggressive and passionate style, Murkurakura.

Real world

Real name: Evan Taylor

Real age: 35

Gender: Male

Background: A cashier at a local grocery store, Evan feels like an NPC in his day to day life. He took to playing RPGs, and in particular Demon's Run, for the feeling of power he associates with being the 'main character' in the story. He's modded the game extensively, mostly to increase immersion, but some of them have added extra race and class options.  He doesn't consider himself a master, more of a casual gamer, Demon's Run just happens to be the game he's logged the most hours in

Avatar's name: Rillith D'Hoffryn

Genre: RPG

Appearance: picture Maisie Williams (Arya Stark from Game of Thrones) as a tiefling and you'll be pretty close to the mark
A young (early twenties) female Tiefling, about 5'0 and around 115 lbs, with "fire-engine" red skin. Dark purple hair falls in soft waves to her bare shoulders, and black horns grow back from her temples before curving down and around to the front again. The tips appear to be capped in a warm yellow metal the same color as her eyes. She wears tight-fitting dark brown leather trousers with black knee-boots and a matching corset over a "peasant blouse". A dark grey-green cloak hangs from her shoulders, and her tail wraps protectively around her left leg. She carries no obvious weapons.

Game/franchise information:

Demon's Run is based on a module for the tabletop game Monsters and Mayhem, set in legally distinct Scotland. It released to some acclaim 10 years ago, and even briefly reignited interest in the tabletop game system. It featured an immersive single-player campaign with plenty of side-quests, and an optional multiplayer mode, where up to six players could co-op through the main story. They even got Billy Connelly to lend his voice to the game's BBEG. It earned enough money to garner interest in a sequel, which has been stuck in production hell for the last 5 years or so
