Felix Campbell
The main POV character. Can alter any object or person he owns, provided her has the required "points" available. Founder and CEO of Legion.
- Action Survivor: What he starts out as and always has shades of. The only thing he has going for him is the ability to enhance others, and he can't do it to himself. Through most of the first book he's just little more than The Everyman who has loyal super powered individuals. As things get further and further off the ground he gets thrust into more danger, so his team upgrades him from this trope by giving him combat lessons so he can hold his own in a sudden hostile situation. Due to his lack of personal superpowers he never truly upgrades from this, but he does get far better in combat situations.
- Nice Guy: He's no saint, he'll never pretend otherwise at any point in the story, but he's a very decent human being. He didn't mean to buy slaves, but when he's magically bound as the owner of a group of badly mutilated ones his first thought is "slave or not, they need to get better." Morally he's far less good than Kit, being willing to do several reproachable things to get what he wants, but everything shows it's because his morality becomes laser guided as things escalate, at first wanting to help people if he can but otherwise not being too bothered by it but after some time as commander of Legion he ends up getting a very fitting motto: Legion first. After that he's willing to go through hell and high water to help Legion, but he also gets the (very justifiable) attitude that if you're not with him then you're against him and everybody else is open game if they start getting in his way.
- Powered Armor: Felicia eventually builds him one to give him more protection and also to allow him to fight Legion's enemies.
Kit Carrington
A powerful telepath, formerly known as Augur.
- The Heart: As the only straight up superhero of the core team she has been described as the moral compass of the group.
- Master of Illusion: Kit's third power, granted by Felix. The illusions created by Kit are so realistic, they manifest in the physical world.
- Mind over Matter: Kit's second power, granted by Felix.
- Telepathy: Kit's primary power. Originally an area version, she is unable to shut it off without a special helmet. Felix's first upgrade allows her to use telepathy directionally, while also having the option of doing an area scan.
Andrea Elex
A wolf "beastkin" with the ability to split into multiple copies of herself. Formerly a mercenary code-named Myriad.
- Attention Deficit... Oh, Shiny!: Attention Deficit... Ooh, Pancakes!: She behaves like an overeager puppy, gets very easily distracted by scents, Felix, her own thoughts and most of all by pancakes, the prospect of pancakes in the near future or even the mere mention of the word. Toned down somewhat after Felix increases her intelligence to normal adult levels.
- Cat Girl: More like a wolf girl.
- The Ditz: Andrea's Intelligence stat is incredibly low. She frequently acts like an excited teenage girl, although there are also moments of maturity, especially during combat, when she turns into a cold-blooded mercenary. Over time, Felix ends up bumping up the Intelligence stat several times. Each time, Andrea immediately notices the difference. The second time, she starts to realize how immature and embarrassing some of what she says and does is. While she keeps doing that, sometimes she also has a realization moment and runs away, red in the face. She admits that she wishes Felix hadn't made her smarter.
- Healing Factor: Felix grants her that during a fight with superheroes, after one of them rips her arm off. The arm grows back in seconds.
- Identity Absorption: Whenever Andrea re-absorbs her other selves, she also merges their memories with hers. While there are plenty of pluses to that ability (e.g. new skills), there are also negatives too, especially the memories of being hurt or killed. She eventually asks Felix to give her the ability to absorb memories selectively.
- Me's a Crowd: Andrea is able to split off multiple version of herself with each Andrea being an independent being, although there appears to be a way for them all to communicate. Each Andrea is a little different from the others.
- The Pollyanna: She is a very, very lively person and every time we see her character sheet it lists her mental state as "Happy". The only time it is not she just had her arm ripped out by a Hulk expy, and even then she is merely "concerned".
Lilian Lux
A lawyer-turned-supervillain, who can cast spells and suck out people's souls. Previously known as Mab.
- Alliterative Name
- Hello, Attorney!: Before becoming a supervillain, Lily was a lawyer. In fact, she got her power after being kidnapped by her client, who turned out to be an Evil Sorcerer. While in captivity, preparing to be sacrificed, she ended up reading one of his spellbooks and accidentally sucked out his soul, giving her his powers. She then started doing the same to all her clients, who were genuinely guilty. It didn't take long for someone to get suspicious. After Felix purchases her at a slave auction and learns about her past as a lawyer, he is quick to employ her in that regard, even though she immediately points out that he can't call her his legal counsel, since her license has been revoked years ago. As for the "hello" part, well, she is quite possibly the most attractive woman in Felix's "employ".
- Hot Witch: Lily is the closest thing to a genuine witch or sorceress Felix knows. The "hot" part definitely applies, something Felix usually prefers not to notice, since he is smart enough to know that she's a Femme Fatale.
Miu Miki
A super with a mysterious past, whose ability is to multiply her base skill level several times.
- Yandere: Miu turns out to be one, although she manages to hide for the entirety of book 1. In book 2, her control starts to slip, and her insanity pokes through. Apparently, it's a nasty side effect of her amplification power (i.e. it not only amplifies her physical abilities, but also her emotions, hence her obsession with Felix). For bonus points, she's of Japanese descent, which fits the trope nicely.
Ioana Iliescu
A supervillain with enhanced reaction and combat mastery, previously known as War Maiden.
- Blood Knight: Ioanna loves to fight. She doesn't really care who.
Felicia Fay
A half-Dwarf with innate understanding of all things mechanical. She can build any technomagical device she can imagine.
- Mad Scientist: Felicia's inventions put her squarely into this category.
- Jerkass: She is blunt, almost always in a bad mood and seemingly can't go three sentences without swearing, cursing or insulting a random person.
No-Name
A shady dealer, with whom Felix frequently does business. Felix starts calling him "No-Name" after getting tired of the other man constantly coming up with a new name every day.
Dimitry
A loan shark, who gives Felix $20,000 to buy some slaves in return for double that amount in 3 months. Felix later accidentally kills some of Dimitry's people and offers a number of favors in return.
- Loan Shark: Dimitry's primary means of cash flow. He charges crazy interest (double the original amount), but is fair and up-front.
- The Mafiya: It's heavily implied that Dimitry is in the Russian mob.
Skipper
A supervillain, who has taken over Felix's hometown and renamed it Skippercity.
- Samus Is a Girl: In book 2, it's revealed that Skipper is a woman.
- Fatal Flaw: Pride. She trusts nobody but herself, and possibly the few other conspirators. She does things her way, thanks to her powers, and whatever everybody else wants be damned. Felix notes that when she goes to war any front she's on is a Curb-Stomp Battle, but even a perfectly normal army can push her back by going on two fronts where the front she isn't on her side is immediately on the back foot.
- Seers: Skipper can see possible futures, which makes her The Chessmaster.
Vince Campbell
Felix's cousin and a demigod from another world. Also as close to Felix's brother as someone can be given that their fathers were identical twins. Vince rules a nation called Yosemite.
Runner Norwood
An overgod who is also Felix's benefactor and likely the one responsible for his unique power.
Faith
A dryad who becomes a part of Felix's "harem."
Goldie
A dragon who wishes to make Felix her "nest-mate."
