5	!!Jobs
6	->''Birth Name: Sebastian Andreeson''
7
8	The main protagonist of the series, he's a nerdy tech guru with a fascination with technology. While Jobs is indirectly touched by the events around him, remaining a perfectly normal human throughout the series, his morals and hope make him a pillar of support to the others.
9
10	* TheArtifact: His name "Jobs" was taken for Steve Jobs, and occasionally other characters lampshade it's a comparatively obscure name to pick compared to, say, "Gates". The series was written in the early 2000s; fast forward as little as three years after the series concluded and Steve Jobs is a household name.
11	* AudienceSurrogate: He's the first viewpoint character and retains the POV for most of the first book. Also, he has a much milder personality, not to mention being ''saner'', than most of the other prominent teenagers except perhaps Violet.
12	* BigBrotherInstinct: To Edward.
13	* {{Geek}}: Self-declared and not ashamed of it.
14	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mo'Steel.
15	* ItRunsInTheFamily: His intelligence is clearly a family trait: his mother is a brilliant astrophysicist, and was among the first people on Earth to realize how serious the Rock truly was.
16	* PlayfulHacker: On Earth. The talent doesn't find as much use afterwards.
17	* PlotArmor: Applegate promised before the series started that he and Mo'Steel would make it to the end.
18	* PromotionToParent: Tries to take on this role for his little brother Edward.
19	* RedOniBlueOni: Jobs is the blue to Mo'Steel's red.
20	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Jobs is much more eloquent than most other characters, especially when he needs to deliver TechnoBabble.
21	* TeenGenius: Jobs is just a teenager, but is far more intelligent in technological matters than some adults.
22	* WhiteMaleLead: In an extremely diverse EnsembleCast, Jobs gets the greatest amount of focus.
23
24	!!Mo'Steel
25	->''Birth Name: Romeo Gonzalez''
26
27	Jobs's best friend and an adrenaline junkie sports enthusiast, he's had several steel plates and prosthetics implanted in his body after numerous accidents, leading to his nickname (he waffles on whether it's short for "More Steel" or "Man of Steel"). His enthusiasm and laid-back attitude get whittled down to resolve and determination as the series progresses.
28
29	* AdrenalineJunkie: An extreme sports advocate who will do ''anything'' for a good thrill, with minimal regard for his own safety. His nickname stems from the numerous steel prosthetics that he's had implanted in his body due to various injuries.
30	* BerserkButton: Don't threaten his mom. [[spoiler: Rattler learns this the hard way.]]
31	* BadassNormal: He's one of the few main characters that doesn't get a superpower, but he can still kick ass.
32	* BoisterousBruiser: Mo is always eager for fun and adventure.
33	* {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/{{Animorphs}} Marco]]. He's the protagonist's [[TheLancer right-hand man]] and [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friend]], and he shares Marco's sense of humor and Hispanic heritage. They even have very similar juvenile styles of humor. In a twofer, though, his AdrenalineJunkie personality and "man of action" role are also very similar to Rachel.
34	* GoodWithNumbers: He instantly converts the number of minutes they've been in stasis to years and days. Basically, he's a mathematical GeniusDitz.
35	* LeParkour: Not referred to by name in the series, but he's essentially a traceur, presented as one part of his general enthusiasm for extreme sports.
36	* RedOniBlueOni: Mo'Steel is the red to Jobs's blue.
37
38	!!2Face
39	->''Birth Name: Essence Hwang''
40
41	Once a beautiful young girl, Essence Hwang was caught in a house fire and half her face was disfigured. Refusing to hide who she is, she took the name 2Face and took strength from the disgust and revulsion she invoked in people, becoming a stronger but darker figure even before the series began. As it progresses, she starts sliding down the slope from cold but sympathetic protagonist to a manipulative and paranoid antagonist.
42	* AntiHero: Despite being on the side of good, she's very cold and brooding and can be quite pragmatic. As the series goes on, she gets closer and closer to VillainProtagonist.
43	* BrokenBird: We don't hear much about what she was like before the fire but it's suggested that the experience hardened her considerably.
44	* DarkActionGirl: She's one of the most action-oriented females, but is very dark and shifty.
45	* DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: Averted; she's sometimes a {{Jerkass}}, but she never uses her diability as an excuse.
46	* TheEeyore: She is eternally moody and cynical. It's when she's ''not'' that it's time to be worried.
47	* EyesAreUnbreakable: She can see just fine out of the eye on the scarred side. It's possible that [[EyeScream that eye did get blinded]] and it was repaired or replaced in the other reconstructive surgeries she had after the fire, though.
48	* FallenPrincess: She used to be pretty and popular. After the fire that burned off half her face, not so much.
49	* IAmNotPretty: After her disfigurement, she embraced it and dislikes being seen as pretty.
50	* IcyGrayEyes: Her gray eyes show she's cold, determined, and socially isolated.
51	* ManipulativeBitch: She goes into it sometimes, most notably in ''Them'' when she [[spoiler: tricks Yago into thinking it's a better idea to feed Wylson to Tamara's baby than it is to feed her to it. Thankfully, Mother pulls the plug on the illusion that caused the Riders to attack the Remnants before Yago could go through with it.]]
52	* MoralityPet: Edward, whom she often looks after in Jobs' absence. It's noted at one point how odd it is that Jobs leaves Edward in her care, not one of the adults'.
53	* MutualKill: She tries to kill Billy, so he's forced to kill her. And then it turns out that she weakened Billy so much that [[spoiler: the Mother easily finished him off]].
54	* NervesOfSteel: Nothing shakes her or makes her nervous, and if it does she'll come back shortly.
55	* TheRival: To Yago. With all the other power struggles and gambits being played, the series largely boils down to 2Face versus Yago for control of the Remnants. [[spoiler:Yago wins, though it's a PyrrhicVictory.]]
56	* SanitySlippage: As the series continues, she becomes more manipulative and cunning. When the remnants are [[spoiler:stranded on Earth]] she falls completely off the deep end into complete paranoia.
57	* ScarsAreForever: She was all lined up to get restorative plastic surgery -- she didn't mind being 2Face, but only temporarily -- before TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt happened.
58	* SourOutsideSadInside: Deep inside, she is a deeply broken and depressed girl.
59	* TheStoic: She doesn't act completely emotionless, but she's rather lacking in ''good'' feelings and is frequently described as cold.
60	* TwoFaced: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Duh.]]
61	* TheWormThatWalks: She gains this power [[spoiler: [[ContagiousPowers from Violet]]]].
62
63	!!Violet Blake
64	->''Birth Name:'' Dallas Lefkowitz-Blake
65
66	A beautiful young girl known as a "Jane", a cultural fad that aspires to the mannerisms of Jane Austim novels, Violet is seen as delicate, weak and girly by the other characters, but has a strong willpower and sense of morals. Her knowledge of art and literature proves useful when the alien machination controlling the ship uses such things to construct a world for them.
67
68	* BadassBookworm: She's cultural and well-read, but still very capable.
69	* BadPowersGoodPeople: She has one of the most disturbing abilities in the series, but is still a very kind person.
70	* DaddysGirl: It was her father who introduced her to serious art and Jane Austen. She doesn't get along so well with her mom.
71	* ElegantGothicLolita: The Janes are basically the Elegant Gothic Aristocrat subculture, with their emphasis on elegance and frilly dresses.
72	* {{Fingore}}: Loses her right index finger in ''Destination Unknown''.
73	* GentlemanAndAScholar: Lady and a Scholar, but still counts.
74	* LadyOfWar: She's graceful and beautiful, but can handle herself in a fight just the same.
75	* LastNameBasis: She originally chose to be known as Miss Blake, with Violet as a fallback nickname. Most of the time she's just called Violet, or [[FullNameBasis Violet Blake]].
76	* [[MrExposition Miss Exposition]]: She knows all about art. This is helpful when you're in a world made from paintings.
77	* TheOjou: Several of the characters are from rich families, since getting one of the eighty berths on the Mayflower was a matter of having the right connections or enough money to ''get'' the right connections. Violet acts the part, though.
78	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Her abilities are related enough to this, given that the worms are pretty much indestructible. [[spoiler:They can heal her injuries, revive the dead, and doing so passes her powers on to others.]]
79	* ProperLady: It's the standard behavior for a "Jane".
80	* RealWomenDontWearDresses: She feels as if this attitude is forced upon modern women; in ''Nowhere Land'', when Wylson complains about the impracticality of Violet's dress, she mutters that she understands Wylson wants her to "dress like a man".
81	* SilkHidingSteel: She's well-dressed, well-groomed, and polite, but she is ''not'' weak.
82	* StrawMisogynist[=/=]FemaleMisogynist: Zigzagged; she's fine with women playing a different role in society than men, but she's ''not'' okay with being useless in any situation. She's not misogynistic, exactly, she just has old-fashioned standards.
83	* TheWormThatWalks: Eventually revealed as her superpower: her body contains a mass of writhing worms she can control to an extent.
84
85	!!Billy Weir
86	->''Birth Name:'' Ruslan, named "William Weir III" by his adoptive parents
87
88	One of the most enigmatic characters of the series, Billy was a social outcast on earth and his family just happened to be sent up with the rest. However, uniquely, Billy's life support technology failed, suspending his body but not his consciousness. Awake and aware for centuries, Billy developed psychic powers, which he may have even had before but were enhanced by the trip. Initially catatonic for the first several books due to being mentally out of sync with time, upon his awakening he takes control of the ship, but in doing so becomes a target for the power-hungry remnants to manipulate.
89
90	* AndIMustScream: Billy's consciousness doesn't shut down when he sleeps (for some reason), and that extends to the "sleep" induced by suspended animation. So he spent five hundred years immobile, alone, deprived of all sensory input. This eventually slowed down his sense of time so much that he was catatonic for a while after the survivors woke up.
91	* BlessedWithSuck: His psychic powers are critical to helping the others, but are hell for Billy personally.
92	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Courtesy of his powers, Billy is quite detached from reality.
93	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His eyes and hair are both brown.
94	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: He's exceptionally pale.
95	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: While stuck in AndIMustScream for five hundred years, he went mad after less than a year. Then eventually [[BoredWithInsanity back to sane]]. Then mad again, and continued to flip-flop until "the definition of madness became irrelevant." Eventually his brain went so nuts, that he started reading people's minds just to have something to do.
96	* InsanityImmunity: His AndIMustScream situation drives him over the edge of madness, pulls him back over, then thrusts him over again, likely several times. The result is that his mind is so warped, interfacing with Mother and taking control of her has no effect on him, while everyone else is driven nuts.
97	* LooksLikeCesare: And boy does it creep the other remnants out.
98	* MercyKill: He does this to [[spoiler: his father, because he was getting eaten by worms from the inside out.]]
99	* MindOverMatter: One of his psychic powers.
100	* MutualKill: This is how he dies, although it wasn't entirely intentional on both parts. [[spoiler: 2Face tries to kill him, so he's forced to kill her. But she weakened him so much that when he faced Mother, it was easy for her to finish him off.]]
101	* OlderThanTheyLook: He's 14 but he looks like he's about twelve, maybe younger.
102	* OracularUrchin[=/=]DreamingOfThingsToCome: His powers allow him to do this to a degree.
103	* PhotographicMemory: At the start of the series, he can remember everything that's ever happened to him, but mostly just while dreaming.
104	* PowerBornOfMadness: Five centuries swinging back and forth over the edge of sanity and madness made his powers stronger than ever.
105	* PsychicPowers: Even before he left Earth and got TouchedByVorlons, he had them. The first time we see him dreaming is like a trailer for the rest of the series.
106	* TheStoic: Billy was practically an [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Boy]] growing up on Earth, which is the main reason why people called him Billy Weird.
107	* TouchedByVorlons: Interfacing with Mother increases Billy's power.
108
109	!!Yago
110	->''Birth Name:'' Robert Castleman
111
112	The son of the first female African-American President of the United States, Yago is arrogant, ambitious, charismatic and cruel, believing his status on Earth dictates him to lead the remnants. After interfacing with the ship's AI "Mother", Yago becomes a delusional messiah, and he takes control of an outsider faction of the Blue Meanies that he manages to sway to this belief.
113
114	* AGodAmI: Gains this outlook after he interfaces with Mother. Had shades beforehand too.
115	* AlasPoorVillain: No matter how much you hate him, you have to feel sorry for him when [[spoiler: he gets eaten by Tate.]]
116	* AmbiguouslyBrown: He's actually mixed-race, with a white father and a mother who's the first African-American president of the United States (the series was written in 2001), but his skin tone is perfect for this trope. Its so perfectly bronze that Violet wonders if it's natural (Yago is known for having had plastic surgery).
117	* AttentionWhore: He has an overwhelming desire to have other people admire him.
118	* TheBeautifulElite: He thinks of himself as this.
119	* BigBadWannabe: Yago thinks he's a controlling force of the Remnants, but has no real power. When he finally does pull off a scheme successfully, it's only with help from allies, who promptly show him who's ''really'' in charge in their partnership.
120	* BreakTheHaughty: Pretty much his whole character arc.
121	* {{Claustrophobia}}: As a child, he played near a backyard pit dug for a pool and it collapsed, trapping him for the night. He never got over it.
122	* TheCorruptible: Very, very easily.
123	* CuteAndPsycho: Yes, Yago is pretty. He's also one of the most dangerous characters in the series.
124	** FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: He's described as very handsome and had legions of fangirls back on Earth, but he's also very egocentric and ruthless.
125	* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:He gets eaten by Tate.]]
126	* EnfantTerrible: He's a bit old to count ''during'' the series, but he was always a sociopath. When he was thirteen he told a news anchor that his goal in life was to become "feared."
127	* EntitledBastard: He literally has an 'ego mantara'. This is all that needs to be said.
128	* EvilCounterpart: To 2Face; they're equally manipulative, they have an equal hatred of losing, and they're equally cunning. However, while 2Face starts out somewhat sympathetic and becomes more of a paranoid antagonist as the series continues, Yago starts off a power-hungry jerk and becomes sympathetic in the last couple of books. Also 2Face is an introvert while Yago desires to be the center of attention.
129	* EvilOverlord: His ambition is to become one.
130	* HellishPupils: Before the Rock hit, he had his pupils surgically altered to resemble those of a cat.
131	* ItsAllAboutMe: The size of his ego defies belief.
132	* {{Jerkass}}: All the way.
133	* LackOfEmpathy: Yago cares for nothing and no one but himself.
134	* ManipulativeBastard: He's very charismatic and effective at controlling others.
135	* MixedAncestryIsAttractive: PlayedWith. He is the son of the first African-American female president and her white husband. Owing to this skin tone is noted to be a perfect bronze color and he is considered to be very handsome. However, since he's known to have had a lot of plastic surgery, Violet wonders at one point if it's natural.
136	* {{Narcissist}}: As far as Yago is concerned, he's the most handsome, intelligent, powerful remnant and thus destined to command them.
137	* ObfuscatingStupidity: He really does become a delusional messiah following his interfacing with Mother, but he plays it up around the others to make them think he's gone completely insane when he's still as manipulative and cunning as before.
138	* PrettyBoy: He's very physically attractive. On Earth, he had dozens of fangirls.
139	* {{Pride}}: He's practically the embodiment of pride. In his dream world made from his own mind by Mother, the Presidential Seal has his face on it.
140	* RoyalBrat: He's the son of the US President. He mentions this quite often.
141	* SharingABody: [[spoiler:After he gets eaten by Tate, his mind lives on inside her body.]]
142	* {{Slimeball}}: So very much. No matter what situation he's in, the only thing he cares about is his own well-being.
143	* SmugSnake: He's utterly convinced that he's a hyper-talented mastermind who was born to be in charge, but he only gets as far as he does due to the help of others.
144	* TheSociopath: Yago ticks many of the boxes for antisocial personality disorder, being apathetic to the feelings of others, only caring about his own situation, and possessing a constant need for control and stimulation.
145	* SpoiledBrat: Due to his privileged upbringing, he's used to getting what he wants.
146	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: He's got gold eyes, spliced with cat DNA so they [[GlowingEyesOfDoom reflect light and appear to glow in the dark]].
147	* TokenEvilTeammate: He's the most selfish and ruthless of the Remnants, and nobody else in the group trusts him.
148	* TookALevelInKindness: Towards the end of the series, he ''finally'' mellows out.
149	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Being the President's son, he knows that he has to get people to like him in order to have control. This works to a surprising extent, dispute his being ObviouslyEvil.
150	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: {{Claustrophobia}} is his biggest - probably his ''only'' - fear, and it comes enormously into play when [[spoiler: Tate swallows him.]]
151
152	!!Shy Hwang
153
154	2Face's father, and a quiet and unassuming man.
155
156	* DespairEventHorizon: Slipped over it when his wife died.
157	* ExtremeDoormat: He's so disheartened he just goes what he's told.
158	* InstantDeathBullet: [[spoiler:He gets killed by just one shot from the Blue Meanies. Justified, since they're shooting [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]].]]
159	* ParentalNeglect: He doesn't do much parenting to 2Face after his wife died; he doesn't know how to handle the grief.
160	* ParentalObliviousness: He doesn't seem to notice the way that Yago obviously takes advantage of 2Face and bullies her because of her facial burns.
161	* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:He gets killed by the Blue Meanies in ''Nowhere Land''. His death probably helped begin to move 2Face from protagonist to antagonist.]]
162
163	!!Noyze
164	->''Birth Name:'' Jessica Polk
165
166	* DisabilitySuperpower: Played subtly; she was raised deaf, so she quickly understands the sign language of the Blue Meanies.
167
168	!!Tate
169	* ADayInTheLimelight: She's mostly a recurring character, but ''Survival'' focuses on her.
170	** ADeathInTheLimelight: So of course she dies at the end of the book.
171	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: It's heavily implied that she has romantic feelings for Tamara, but Tamara never seems to notice.
172	* BadPowersGoodPeople: Her superpower is freaking horrifying, but she's not a bad person.
173	* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: The people that she eats? They can communicate with her telepathically. And they can fight over who gets control of her body, and ''drive each other insane''.
174	* BuryYourGays: At the end of ''Survival''.
175	* CannibalismSuperpower[=/=]HorrorHunger: Wtih emphasis on the 'horror' in the latter trope.
176	* DeadGuyJunior: Jobs and Echo name their daughter after Tate.
177	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Survival'', she takes the ship back in time to 500 years before the Rock hits and crashes it on Earth as part of a plan to undo the devastation caused by the asteroid.]]
178	* HulkingOut: [[spoiler: Her superpower turns out to involve this. Whenever she feels threatened, she bloats into a giant version of herself with a ''huge mouth'' and tries to eat whatever is threatening her.]]
179	* HideYourLesbians: Rather infamously.
180	* ImAHumanitarian: Her mutation often causes her to eat people that are threatening her, among them Yago, Charlie, and Amelia.
181	* MindRape: Anyone that she eats can communicate telepathically with her. That's normally all that happens, but if their will overpowers her, they can take control of her.
182	* NoLastNameGiven: We never learn her first name.
183	* SharingABody: [[spoiler:Whenever she eats somebody, they continue to exist as a separate consciousness inside her head.]]
184	* WalkingSpoiler: After [[spoiler: she first eats somebody.]]
185
186	!!Wylson Lefkowitz-Blake
187	* ControlFreak: She initially takes over the Remnants, but she turns out not to be a very effective leader.
188	* IAmAHumanitarian: She almost gets fed to Tamara's baby, but the Riders go away before she has to.
189	* GeneralFailure: Her leadership abilities are lacking, to say the least.
190	* KilledOffForReal: She drowns in [[spoiler: ''Nowhere Land''.]]
191	* ParentalNeglect: Before the apocalypse, she was more focused on her corporate empire than her daughter Violet, leading to the two having a strained relationship.
192
193	!!D-Caf
194	->''Birth Name:'' Harlin Melman
195
196	* AccidentalMurder: He does this to Anamull.
197	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome[=/=]WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Applegate seems to have forgotten about him; he completely disappears from the story right after [[spoiler: he [[AccidentalMurder accidentally kills Anamull.]]]]
198	* TheWormThatWalks: He eventually gains this power [[ContagiousPowers from Violet]].
199
200	!!Sergeant Tamara Hoyle
201	* TheManBehindTheMan: Her baby controls her quite a bit.
202	* ObliviousToLove: We have no idea if she realized Tate was in love with her or not, but she never showed any suspicion.
203	* OffingTheOffspring: She plays a pretty big hand in killing [[spoiler: her baby.]]
204	%%* SacrificialLion
205
206	!!Anamull
207	* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler: D-Caf]] kills him by accident.
208	* TheBrute[=/=]TheBigGuy: He's only ten years old, but is large and strong enough to qualify for this.
209	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Unlike most of the rest of the cast, we don't know his real name.
210
211	!!Kubrick
212	->''Birth Name:'' Frederico DiSalvo
213
214	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: His crush on 2Face.
215	* BodyHorror: We get the descriptions of [[NightmareFuel his skin being torn off in graphic detail]], while his father is ForcedToWatch.
216	* FeelNoPain: In fact, he doesn't feel anything at all.
217	* FlayingAlive: His skin is torn off and replaced with a transparent substance.
218	* TheGrotesque: How he views himself.
219	%%* KilledOffForReal
220
221	!!Alberto Disalvo
222	* ForcedToWatch: He is forced to watch his son [[FlayingAlive having his skin torn off]].
223	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: When he sits in a chair made by the Shipwrights to interface with Mother, he's driven insane by the power of the AI.
224
225	[[/folder]]
226	[[folder:Antagonists]]
227
228	!!The Mother
229
230	The AI controlling the massive ship the Remnants are captured by, she was set adrift in space for countless eons. With nothing to ''do'' with herself because of a lack of input data, she eagerly plucked the remnants' shuttle from space and crafted parts of the ship after art pieces enclosed on the shuttle in an attempt to make a world for them. She eventually merges with Billy, granting him control of the ship.
231
232	* AmbiguouslyEvil: While she values the remnants, it's unclear if she means to eventually kill them or genuinely wants to play host to them and let them live happily.
233	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Having been alone for an extremely long stretch of time, her sanity is questionable to say the least.
234	* HeelFaceTurn: After she merges with [[spoiler: Billy]].
235	* MindRape: What those interfaced with her are subjected to. Billy only survives because, as he points out himself, he's already completely insane.
236	%%* NightmareFuelStationAttendant
237	* RealityWarper: As long as the Remnants live inside her, she can change their enviroment at will, completely changing their situation from moment to moment.
238	%%* SapientShip
239	* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Being an incredibly powerful AI, she is incomprehensible to humans. When Alberto accidentally interfaces with her, he is driven insane.
240
241	!!Te[=/=]"The Baby"
242
243	Apparently the infant baby of Tamara Hoyle, born during flight and the size of a toddler when they revive her. It soon becomes apparent the baby is much more than just a human though, and is revealed to be a Shipwright, one of the builders of Mother using Tamara to fight for it and absorbing power to grow so it can act on its own.
244
245	* AbusivePrecursors: His true self is one of these, completely uncaring of sentient life in his desire to regain control of Mother for his species.
246	* BigBad: Of the first part of the series.
247	* EnfantTerrible: A result of being in Tamara's womb during the entire Mayflower voyage.
248	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: After we finally get a chapter from Te's perspective after he takes his true form, he turns out to genuinely care for Tamara.
249	* EyeScream: It has no eyes, just holes in its head where its eyes should be. This doesn't seem to inconvenience it much, but it's still pretty horrifying.
250	** TheBlank: His true form lacks obvious facial features of any kind, though he can still talk audibly.
251	* GlassCannon: It may be extremely powerful, but it's still a freaking baby. Averted after he takes his true form, who's as hardy as humans.
252	* HumanoidAbomination: As the baby, though Te's true form is a StarfishAlien.
253	* IAmAHumanitarian: It has to eat people to get energy to fight the Riders - other foods won't do.
254	* KilledOffForReal: In the battle with Billy for control of Mother.
255	* TheManBehindTheMan: To Tamara.
256	* PsychicPowers: The Shipwrights seem to have ones as strong as b
257	* TheRival: Billy.
258	* TykeBomb: Subverted. He turns out to be an adult alien in a child's body.
