Team Role: HD-GV “Carry All” Radio Operator
Hero-Forge Image and Additional Notes
Notes: Shown with his prescription glasses. Yes, he has anodized purple aluminum frames. Also, shows his general fashion sense in his loud purple shirt. (Purple, after all, is their color of life, so he’s going to wear it.)
Kayden John Grayson

-Age: 69 (103)
-Appearance: 7 feet, 8 inches tall, 415 pounds (188.2 kilograms) of muscle, snow white fur and black stripes, blue eyes, and the general appearance of a bipedal walking tiger.
Team Role: HD-GV “Home-Unit” Radio Operator
Hero-Forge Image and Additional Notes
Notes: Not much to say here. Kayden’s adapted fairly well to Earth’s clothing, favoring neutral colors and blues.
Kaylie Lynn Malradi
(Formerly Grayson)
-Race: Panthirian Tigrilan
-Age: 69 (103)
-Appearance: 6 feet, 5 inches tall, 175 pounds (79.3 kilograms), athletic, with snow white fur and black stripes, a shiny chrome mechanical left arm with black painted stripes matching her natural pattern, and blue eyes, with the general appearance of a bipedal walking tigress. Wears a titanium ring on her left ring finger. Her left arm is two inches longer than her right.
Team Role: HD-GV “Carry All” Mechanic / Navigator
Hero-Forge Image and Additional Notes
Notes: Seen pretty much just after work. Her mechanic’s shirt is in the wash, so she’s just in her tank top. Also, be advised, her mechanical left arm is rather strong.
Jayde Malradi
-Race: Aetheriian Leoni
-Age: 35 (54)
-Appearance: 8 feet, 5 inches tall, 375 pounds (170 kilograms), heavy athletic, with dark brown fur, black mane, tail tuft, and ‘beard’, calm green feline eyes, a mechanical left leg starting mid thigh made from blackened boiler steel, brass, and wood accents, with the general appearance of a bipedal walking lion. Has a really nasty looking bite scar on his left shoulder and a rather rough and ragged looking scar from his right cheek to his right temple, crossing his eye but not blinding him. Wears a titanium ring on his left ring finger.
Team Role: HD-GV “Carry All” Mechanic / “Repair Specialist”
Hero-Forge Image and Additional Notes
Notes: New to Earth’s clothing, no real “fashion sense” to speak of. Owns three sets of shoes, all of them are obnoxious, and one pair of work boots in dark brown. Has a modern-ish oak cane because “Humans don’t usually walk with long sticks.” Also, a bit of a spell-caster, though he won’t likely show any true magic to anyone.
Malavera Caller-of-the-Moons
-Race: Orthrian Khalan (Khalara Five)
-Age: 51 (358)
-Appearance: 7 feet, 11 inches tall (8 feet, 1 inch to the top of his ears), 500 pounds (226.7 kilograms) of broad-shouldered, twin-headed muscle, with pure white fur, cold amber eyes, and the general appearance of a two-headed, bipedal werewolf.
Team Role: HD-GV “Home-Unit” Mechanic / Navigator
Hero-Forge Image and Additional Notes
Notes: Obviously, number of heads is wrong. Seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt because it’s Earth clothing he could maybe fit into without much modification. Has reading glasses, but not seen wearing them. Is “not-so-secretly” Kivenaal’s “partner.”
Kivenaal Khakrin-Marinseien
-Race: Light-Aetheriian/Valraadi Hybrid (Post Fall-of-Aetherii)
-Age: 41 (62)
-Appearance: 8 feet, 6 inches tall, 520 pounds (235.8 kilograms) of muscle, with two tails as long as he is tall, tipped with black, non-venomous quills, black fur, dark red stripes, black lion’s mane, no ear-tufts, demon-like rearward-curved horns on his head, vivid purple feline eyes, four arms, and the general appearance of a bipedal walking tiger demon.
Team Role: HD-GV “Home-Unit” Mechanic / “Repair Specialist”
Hero-Forge Image and Additional Notes
Notes: Yes, he does tend to dress up like a gunslinger out of a Western. Seen here as he would be at the range. Can fire a rather powerful revolver in each hand with reasonable accuracy. Can throw fireballs, or turn water into hydrogen and oxygen, often with explosive results, if needed. He’s also Malavera’s “not-so-secret” partner.
Takaraya Wintermoon
-Race: Khalan (Khalara Five)
-Age: 25 (175)
-Appearance: 8 feet, 10 inches tall (9’0” to the top of his ears), 645 pounds (292.5 kilograms), relatively muscular torso with sturdy-looking mechanical limbs replacing both arms at the shoulders, and both legs slightly below mid-thigh. Limbs are made of titanium, no specialized plating. Golden amber lupine eyes, gray fur resembling the average American Gray Wolf, has a gold ring on his left ring finger. General appearance of a bipedal, cybernetically-enhanced werewolf.
Team Role: HD-GV “Home-Unit” Driver
Hero-Forge Image and Additional Notes
Notes: Seen not wearing his usual military uniform, and instead in more casual wear, doing what he enjoys the most: taking lots of black-and-white digital pictures. Has a fighting-stick in a sling across his back in case he needs to break up a fight. Incredibly strong, even compared to Malavera or his son, Kasiya.
Kasiya Wintermoon
-Race: Khalan (Khalara Five)
-Age: 10 (70)
-Appearance: 10 feet, 0 inches tall, 1100 pounds (500 kilograms), lean frame with a fair bit of muscle. Golden-amber lupine eyes, black fur with some patterning of an American Gray Wolf hidden in it. General appearance of a black-furred bipedal werewolf.
Team Role: HD-GV “Carry All” Driver
Hero-Forge Image and Additional Notes
Notes: Kasiya is large enough that he has to make all of his own clothing. As a result, it’s all usually loose-fitting and comfortable, as well as dyed in neutral colors.
The Vehicles
(Dummy scaled to 5 feet, 11 inches, for scale. AKA: The “Default” setting.)
The crew plans to use two Khalan built Heavy-Duty Ground-Vehicles for their transportation. As we’re not competing this time, we are breaking a few of our own rules, but considering we’re carrying camp lights, tents, tires, and tools, among other things, we’re preparing for just-about-anything. The big refrigerated box truck is known as the HD-GV Carry All, a nickname they earned in military service because they “Carry all the shit.” The RV converted bus, on the other hand, is the HD-GV Home-Unit. Sleeping accommodations for 4, plus climate control, and a microwave.
These two huge ten-wheel-drive behemoths are our way to make sure everyone makes it to the end safely, even if they are a little tricky to drive.
