He is the unofficial leader of the Experiments. Ilkum used to live with his mother and work at the family business. The Bartlett's Liquors. His mother knew from an early age what Ilkum could do and coached him into hasting the maturing process that an 12-year old whisky must go through, making their liquor, the best in all District Five. Since his mother got attacked by one of the Death Nest agents, he feels the need of keeping her safe, deciding then, to make a journey to find and protect all the other experiments. He starts out as a laid back boy who becomes more and more bitter after the time skip. This eventually prompts him to stop running and start fighting back in the novel.

Humkey is Ilkum's best friend. Of all the five Experiments, he's the one who never really had a family, being raised by prostitutes, who also dubbed him "Humkey" as were the remnant letters of a keymaker shop sign called "Humphrey's Keys", that got destroyed by a lightning bolt. It's unclear why he left the prostitutes. Years later, he found Ilkum and his mother, and started working for a roof and food. Nonetheless, he became fast friends with Ilkum and was the first to join him when he was gathering all the experiments.
He is loud, unpolite and sometimes, quite random at his thoughts... But nobody ever doubts that he's the most funny guy you'll ever meet.

[[caption-width-right:300:In the end, the real enlightment came from the strip clubs neon lights!!]]
Chin was the second to be discovered by Ilkum in his journey. He was a monk, and like all monks, he had a quite restrained life. Even when Chin joins Ilkum he was very cold and calculist, and worried about keeping the customs back at the monastery. It all ended in the day when they found Lenneth and Modius. Lenneth was kinda bored and wanted to make Humkey jealous. And so, Chin lost his virginity. Ever since then, he started growing his hair, and became a heavy smoker, stoner and drinker, partying hard everytime he got the chance to do it.
Despite his newfound disdain for harmony and all the values taught at the monastery, he's still loyal and quite cold, when compared with his friends...

Lenneth is the older of the Hastings brothers, and the last to technically join Ilkum's party. She's selfish, bad tempered, bratty and, needless to say, slutty. While a decent actress, she actually believes she'll only get a part in some play/movie/TV show if she sleeps with the producers. At first, the only reason for her to join Ilkum was to take care of Modius, her little (and eager for adventure) brother, later on, she falls in love with the only person who doesn't seem affected by her powers: Humkey. Unfortunately, because of Humkey's lack of money, manners, and overall wit, she fights this feelings throughout the story, taking extreme measures (such as sleeping with Chin) to make him jealous.

[[caption-width-right:300:Shit or leave the bush, you two!]]
Modius is the younger of the Hastings brothers. Unlike Lenneth, he's lighthearted, an all around nice guy who craves for one thing and one thing only: Action! Once Ilkum came to him, he never had any second thoughts about joining up his party. While rash and impulsive, he's also owner of an immense destructive power. He also supports Humkey in wooing his sister, because he thinks Humkey can teach Lenneth how to be humble.

[[folder:Death Nest, INC]]
Death Nest is a [[MegaCorp corporation]] that deals with weapons and warfare. Back before the story begins, they were already the biggest arms dealers around. To consolidate their leadership in the market, they started researching what could change the way the wars were fought forever: A way to explore and awaken the true potential of the human being. According to them, an average human has the potential to develop superpowers, the same way as we learn how to ride a bicycle. They were the ones who kidnapped Ilkum and the others' fathers(and everyone around them) to use as subjects. While Death Nest has thousands of employees and private soldiers, the decisions are made only by the Hoyt family.

He was rescued by a Death Nest soldier named [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Emma]].

He is the unofficial leader of the Experiments. Ilkum used to live with his mother and work at the family business. The Bartlett's Liquors. His mother knew from an early age what Ilkum could do and coached him into hasting the maturing process that an 12-year old whisky must go through, making their liquor, the best in all District Five. Since his mother got attacked by one of the Death Nest agents, he feels the need of keeping her safe, deciding then, to make a journey to find and protect all the other experiments. He starts out as a laid back boy who becomes more and more bitter after the time skip. This eventually prompts him to stop running and start fighting back in the novel.

Humkey is Ilkum's best friend. Of all the five Experiments, he's the one who never really had a family, being raised by prostitutes, who also dubbed him "Humkey" as were the remnant letters of a keymaker shop sign called "Humphrey's Keys", that got destroyed by a lightning bolt. It's unclear why he left the prostitutes. Years later, he found Ilkum and his mother, and started working for a roof and food. Nonetheless, he became fast friends with Ilkum and was the first to join him when he was gathering all the experiments.
He is loud, unpolite and sometimes, quite random at his thoughts... But nobody ever doubts that he's the most funny guy you'll ever meet.

Chin was the second to be discovered by Ilkum in his journey. He was a monk, and like all monks, he had a quite restrained life. Even when Chin joins Ilkum he was very cold and calculist, and worried about keeping the customs back at the monastery. It all ended in the day when they found Lenneth and Modius. Lenneth was kinda bored and wanted to make Humkey jealous. And so, Chin lost his virginity. Ever since then, he started growing his hair, and became a heavy smoker, stoner and drinker, partying hard everytime he got the chance to do it.
Despite his newfound disdain for harmony and all the values taught at the monastery, he's still loyal and quite cold, when compared with his friends...

Lenneth is the older of the Hastings brothers, and the last to technically join Ilkum's party. She's selfish, bad tempered, bratty and, needless to say, slutty. While a decent actress, she actually believes she'll only get a part in some play/movie/TV show if she sleeps with the producers. At first, the only reason for her to join Ilkum was to take care of Modius, her little (and eager for adventure) brother, later on, she falls in love with the only person who doesn't seem affected by her powers: Humkey. Unfortunately, because of Humkey's lack of money, manners, and overall wit, she fights this feelings throughout the story, taking extreme measures (such as sleeping with Chin) to make him jealous.

Death Nest is a [[MegaCorp corporation]] that deals with weapons and warfare. Back before the story begins, they were already the biggest arms dealers around. To consolidate their leadership in the market, they started researching what could change the way the wars were fought forever: A way to explore and awaken the true potential of the human being. According to them, an average human has the potential to develop superpowers, the same way as we learn how to ride a bicycle. They were the ones who kidnapped Ilkum and the others' fathers(and everyone around them) to use as subjects. While Death Nest has thousands of employees and private soldiers, the decisions are made only by the Hoyt family.

Back when Death Nest came on the homeless village to pick up the Experiments' fathers, the whole village was kidnapped or killed in the process. Eiji is an orphan who survived that event. He was rescued by a Death Nest soldier named [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Emma]]. While he was trained and raised by her, his hate and determination made him master many types of combat, hacking, infiltration and espionage. Now, he seeks revenge for what happened with the village, his parents and everyone who got captured or killed. He also feels that the Experiments are a menace that can't be underestimated and must also die.

Project Pascal is a comic book created by Alexandre Amorim (AKA Ashtray, o cinzento) in 2002. Said comic book was a personal project, in a manner of speaking. He never really published it. It was something made entirely for his entertainment. However, he felt that the lack of conclusion and countless cameos by himself and his neighbors into the comic book made the whole thing [[JumpingTheShark jump the shark]] over and over. Because of that, he stopped writing new stuff, dedicating only to occasional drawings of his old characters.
In 2010, by the influence of his former girlfriend, he decided to resume his work and [[RetCon retcon]] whatever was wrong and/or amiss. Because of that, he felt like writing a novel instead of drawing a comic book, like in 2002. This novel, called "Hunting Season" had three main goals:
* Expand the universe.
* Make the plot more mature.
* Finish the storyline that was started back in 2002.
The plot tells the story of [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits five children]] who were born with special powers. Courtesy of their fathers, who were homeless men before being captured by an evil {{megacorp}} to be used as subjects of a research to discover a way to awaken the true potencial of humankind: To make normal people develop superpowers.
Those four homeless subjects eventually flee from the facility where they were being held and go separate ways, settling down and even building themselves a family. They had five children(one of them had two), only to die due to side effects from the medication taken at the facility while captive.
The kids, somehow, managed to complete the process that their fathers were submitted to, developing the superpowers aimed by the corporation that caught the homeless men at the streets.
The original comic books covers the first part of the story, where the five kids meet, face their first dangers and eventually learn what exactly is the corporation that is hunting them down.
Hunting Season is set up right after a [[TimeSkip time skip]] of a year from the main events of the original comic books. This time, with the boys deciding [[TiredOfRunning not to run anymore]] and to take down the corporation that made their lives miserable over the past year.
While the original comic books can still be considered {{canon}}, Hunting Season became the most official work regarding the Project Pascal Universe, reviewing some ideas, concepts and facts depicted in the comic books, as part of the plan of maturing the plot.
There are rumors that Ashtray intend to convert the comic book part into a {{prequel}} novel, as well.
Now, with a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/ProjectPascal character sheet]]!
