OH HAHA that’s cute!!

My friend and I actually came up with a ship name for them back when I was in high school, but you, of course, are allowed to call ships between my characters whatever you like! Technically ship names are supposed to be made by the fans, after all!

The name I’ve been calling them is Krate with an optional (and Barrel) added after it haha.

:D

OC INFORMATION REQUESTED

Okay this is gonna be a long one strap in.

Also, have a little key for how important to the plot all the characters are

MAIN CHARACTER/VILLAIN | MAJOR PLAYER | MEDIUM PLAYER | MINOR PLAYER | JUST THERE TO GIVE A CHARACTER A FRIEND

TEAM SOUL SEER

CALEB BUDDE | SOUL SEER

The first member of the Power Pills. He’s shy, awkward, and is somehow the unofficial leader of the Power Pills. Mostly everyone looks to him to make the final call on stuff because he’s been around the longest.

GUY FOUST

Caleb’s roommate and best friend. Went with Caleb during his first superhero mission and got physically shot while there.

KATE DHANANI

A friend of Guy’s who eventually became a friend of Caleb’s. She’s the martial arts trainer for the Power Pills.

AVERY RODRIGUEZ

The first supervillain created by Future Tech. He’s 16 years old and was given to Future Tech as an experiment by his parents in exchange for promotions.

TRAVIS BIRMAN

Guy’s childhood friend and Merri’s boyfriend. He’s just the only friend character who doesn’t know that his friend is a superhero.

TEAM WAX GUISE

DAN WIRSCH | WAX GUISE

The second member of the Power Pills. He’s the literal embodiment of a theater kid. Despite his energetic and carefree attitude, he’s one of the smartest members of the team.

JASON KENDI

Jason is Dan’s roommate and the go-to costume designer for the Power Pills. He’s a MASSIVE nerd and loves doing closet cosplay. He seems to have some kind of connection to Lightbringer.

LUCY CIPHER

The manager (and drum player) of Dan’s band. She matches him in energy and personality.

NICO HYLAND

Lucy’s fiancee and the keyboardist for Dan’s band. He’s the type to sit back and listen to Lucy’s energetic ramblings for hours.

MAX ARMIJO

Dan’s second roommate and lead guitarist for Dan’s band. He’s a more successful actor than Dan and does his best to help Dan get roles.

TEAM BULLETPROOF

MERRI BODKIN | BULLETPROOF

The third member of the Power Pills. She’s a sweet-hearted individual with boundless optimism. She’s the heart of the group. However a lot of her personality DOES come from the fact that she’s a Catholic and her suppressed frustration tends to come out when she’s fighting as Bulletproof in the form of a SUPER brutal fighting style.

AMBER LUPE

One of Merri’s best friends. She is just as kind and sweet as Merri, but much less energetic.

PERCY VAN STONE

Merri’s foil. She is energetic, she is bold, she loves everything Merri hates.

TEAM QUICKWIT

KRISTY EDA | QUICKWIT

The fourth member of the Power Pills and the resident “basically normal guy but with a bow” of the team. She’s an independent artist trying to make it in the art world.

GEMMA VOSS

The sculptor to Kristy’s painter. She has almost no shame and has no problems both speaking and acting her mind.

JAKE WESTLAKE

Probably also an artist of some kind but we haven’t seen them do any sort of art so I’m not sure. They’re relentlessly supportive of their friends.

TEAM STREAMLINE

Hahaaaa oh god sorry, Tate.

TATE PALMER | STREAMLINE

Tate is the fifth member of the Power Pills as well as the most energetic. She’s a massive cosplayer and makes her living selling her work online.

TEAM THE WEB

(boy that one doesn’t have a ring to it at ALL, does it)

SIBYL DEMIR | THE WEB

Sibyl is the sixth and newest member of the Power Pills. He’s the resident scientist, studying biology. He’s been through a lot, but once he settles into a network of supporting friends, he reveals that he is a a snarky, strong-willed man.

SEBASTIAN CROWL

A superpowered cult member who saved Sibyl and Caleb’s lives when they were captured. He sacrificed himself to help the two of them escape. His status is unknown though he reassured Sibyl that the cult wouldn’t kill him.

BENNY O'KEEFE

Benny is Sibyl’s biology teacher and is the person who helped Sibyl through the darkest moment of his life.

VINNY RAMONE

Not seen onscreen, but he’s Sibyl’s ex.

JENNA BEGER

Sibyl’s childhood friend who tried to trade away his life in order to join The Cult of Lacrima. Her status is also unknown.

TEAM ███████

MATT NOTTON

The recipient of the Pink Pill who needs to be put on a GODDAMN LEASH. The only pill candidate who decided to use their powers for selfish reasons.

DAMIEN BRIDGES

A man that Matt kidnapped in an attempt to learn how to control his powers. He’s… god he’s still there.

DALTON RENTFRO

Matt’s teammate and a MASSIVE Matt hater.

OTHERS

????? | LIGHTBRINGER

The person who gives out the pills to the candidates. He’s stoic but generally friendly.

??????

Only called “Scarecrow Lady” in comic so far, this is the woman who broke into Merri’s dressing room in book 3 trying to kidnap her. Caleb erased her memory of their identities but she hinted that she had something “Way better” than her memories.

LONDON KURTZ

A mean girl who peeked in high school. She is obsessed with status.

PHYLLIS WORRALL

One of London’s obligatory lackeys. The other of which, Lilith, apparently left London very recently for unknown reasons and has not been seen onscreen.

KRAVEN GREEVES

The owner of the martial arts dojo that the Power Pills train at. He knows what’s going on with the superheroes, but he knows it’s not his place to say anything.

And I reached the maximum number of images I can put on a post apparently so I have been hard capped here.

Btw if you want to see or ask more about my OCs you should check out @bookfanocs. I don’t post much on there but you never know when I’ll be inspired.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! God I hope that this hasn’t changed after Recent Events. This message was sent a month ago I’m so sorry for just letting it SIT here OTL

Haha. Oh boy. Yeah. “A” Hostage :DD

:DDDDDDDDD

:D

:)

Someone stop him I’m begging

Hi!! In theory I DO answer asks but I’ve always been REALLY bad at responding to comments and asks on every site I’ve ever been on ever (as you maybe able to tell by me letting this sit in my inbox for a week) HAH X,).

But yeah!! Power Pills takes place in southeastern Wisconsin with a good amount of the characters living in Milwaukee specifically! I’ve even set a few scenes in real locations in Milwaukee!

From the scene where Dan goes out as a dog with Jason.

From the convention at the start of book 5. (Bonus but not Milwaukee, the building in The Shady Comic Con is literally modeled after the convention center C2E2 takes place at.)

And this one hasn’t come out yet but Matt canonically goes to an alternate universe version of Marquette University, so I (roughly) remade the campus in Blender for an upcoming scene.

I’m from the area myself so it’s easiest for me to write scenes that take place there!

On a semi-related note, though I’m not basing it off a real town like in Power Pills, my upcoming webcomic, Escapist Fiction, takes place in Northern Wisconsin!

On another related note, I should probably respond to the, like, 5 others asks that have been sitting in my inbox for months…
