* NoPronunciationGuide: Aislinn is typically pronounced "Ash-lynn," but Adonis's lisp means her name is pronounced differently from time to time. Likewise, Arien is pronounced closer to à rien instead of the more common air-ee-ehn, though according to their artist this was on purpose.

Rubber Robin is a byandate, a species of sap-based people with flexible bodies. Lance is her long-time human companion and best friend, an adventurer with a slingshot and a brain for strategy. Their friendship is an oddity in their world, where humans and byandates are at war. When they hastily accept an invitation to Splinter City to escape a foe, they resolve to work together and keep each other safe.

When they hastily accept an invitation to Splinter City to escape a foe, they resolve to work together and keep each other safe.



* RubberMan: Robin’s limbs are, as her namesake, incredibly stretchy. She can propel herself and others high into the air, reshape her form blob-style into simple weapons, and extend her limbs great distances.



to:

* RubberMan: *AbnormalAmmo: The ‘Holloway Capsules’, little gumball-like pellets that Lance uses with his slingshot. They all have unique effects depending on what they’re filled with:
**{{Fireballs}}: His Spicy Gumballs.
**StickySituation: The Foam Bombs, which release a thick, tacky foam.
**GreenThumb: His Ferti Pods, which causes large vines to grow when fired into the earth
**SmokeOut: The Smoky Popper can create smoke screens that obstruct vision.
*BadassNormal: Lance is an ordinary human with no special powers to speak of, but is armed with a slingshot and capsules he uses to great effect. He is able to fight toe-to-toe alongside Robin to beat back a Fray in Round 1.
*BashBrothers: The pair are an incredible duo; they fight side by side and are inseparable through thick and thin.
*ConstantlyCurious: Half of Lance’s issues with Robin stem from the latter simply wandering off to investigate what has captured her attention at that moment.
*ImprobableAimingSkills: Lance might be armed with just a slingshot, but he’s a crack shot who almost never misses.
*ForceAndFinesse: Robin’s physical ability makes her the Force to Lance’s Finesse, who has a cooler head for strategy and greater range outside of melee.
*OurMonstersAreWeird: Byandates in general are creatures made from an unknown underground sap-like substances. They come in various shapes and sizes, and can take on pretty monstrous forms if they’d wish.
*TheSpeechless: Robin is mostly nonverbal and communicates through gesture, though she can parrot a few words occasionally.
*RubberMan:

* AmnesiaLoop: He vaguely remembers being in Splinter City before, and experiences strange and painful flashbacks (and flashforwards) of alternate timelines, effectively retracing his steps with only minor changes to differentiate them. [[spoiler: if he keeps going the way he is now, it’s likely he’ll loop again..]]
* NoSocialSkills: Extremely withdrawn and shy. His meeting with Roderick in Round 1 began with a long-drawn out silence.

Originally a mechanic, Joelle DeMaine underwent a series of experiments that granted her extraordinary abilities-- binding her with a {{Magitek}} AI. This AI was supposed to make Joelle a supersoldier, but strangely manifested its own soul and personality. Named Chepri, the two are now separate consciousnesses both inhabiting Joelle’s body, though they can swap out at Joelle’s will. Joelle has made her way to the city on a mission to investigate and confiscate the City’s large energy source.

* LawfulNeutral: Both Joelle and Chepri see themselves as a tool for following orders.
* TransformationTrinket: Joelle wears a fuser ring, a special ring with a magical core that stores Chepri’s form and equipment. Destruction of the ring will lead to Chepri’s death.
* SharingABody: Even when Chepri is piloting their body, Joelle is aware and conscious of her actions. Should Chepri become too callous in her fighting, Joelle will call her back... usually.

Lavender Burke is a polite and friendly researcher looking to learn more about their studies of magical dreams. Hemlock, on the other hand, is a living curse tied to Lavender’s life force and seems to know one of the judges, Twist, on a personal level.

-->''"’Sup."''
The relaxed owner of a storage unit business. Perhaps the least confrontational bloke around. He’s never looking for trouble and merely seems interested in helping where he can. Having found the invite to Splinter City in his father’s desk and unwittingly reading it while investigating a storage unit, he finds himself in Splinter City with no wish, no plan, and only his natural charisma and cool head to keep him safe.
\\\
As far as Ponzi is concerned, he just wants to survive.
----
*TheMafia: Ponzi’s customers and coworkers involve suit-wearing, fedora-donning, pistol-waving gangsters who are less than happy to see Ponzi bumbling his way around the storage units in his father’s absence.
*TheStoic: Had his dad hammer it in him pretty early that showing his emotions could mean life or death. Ponzi is able to consistently calm himself down in even the most stressful situations, or as he calls it, ‘normal time’.

-->''"’There’s nothing lonelier than the familiar made unfamiliar."''
Formerly a mass-produced service android. When the apocalypse came and went, he and his memories were lost in the wreckage- only to be found by a bunch of steampunk misfits and raised as a human like them. They never got an invitation to Splinter City, but were led there by a Helper they stumbled across while busking.
\\\
They have no wish, or at least they think they don’t.
----
*AmnesiacResonance: Is able to navigate Splinter City’s mall intuitively, despite having no knowledge of the city or even malls in general.
*BulletTime: His main ability, signalled by use of his pocket watch.
*IdentityAmnesia: Was a blank slate when he was found, but it appears that bits and pieces of a past life are slowly coming back to him. [[spoiler: And they took place in Splinter City.]]
*HaveWeMet: To Jacob in Round 1, as they both have a strange sense of DejaVu upon their arrival in the city. [[spoiler:They have in at least one timeline, and it wasn’t entirely positive.]]
*RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Are human enough to the point of having social anxiety.

!!Will -->''"’Can I really do nothing? Am I really going to be trapped as the god of tragedy?"''
A kind
and Bert
!!Ximena

naive pre-ascension goddess, and the daughter of two major deities. When Vathosis’ powers began to manifest, it was an ill omen; she was destined to become a goddess of tragedy. Desperate to change her fate before it’s too late, she’s gambling everything on a mysterious letter that promises a wish.
\\\
Their wish is to avoid becoming a deity of tragedy, and change their fate.
----
*ApologisesALot: She punts one of her bird plushies in a fit of frustration, then scrambles to apologise to it.
*YouCantFightFate: The norm in her world; once the god of Fate has written a deity's ascension in, it cannot be changed.
