Saving Eva: The Villains

Murphy
Murphy is an immortal super villain and sworn enemy of the Karmapolis Heroes. Thought to have been exiled to the farthest reaches of space, the Karamapolis Heroes learn that this poor planet is his new home. A former member of the founding Heroes of Karmapolis, he fell from grace when a personal injustice was never rectified. Faced with the corruption of this seemingly indestructible system, he resolved to carry things out in his own, self-serving way. Rejected from his home on Karmapolis, he swore to make everyone else's life as miserable as his own. Now on Earth, he makes his law absolute.

Crystal
Crystal is Eva's most popular classmate, and is sure to remind everyone of that fact as often as possible. Beautiful and aware of it, she enjoys pointing out Eva's imperfections to their peers.

The Grotonians
(Madame McHugnstab, Baron Von Snuggles, Lord Cuddlesworth, Tentacle Bob)

The Grotonians are a force of discord throughout the universe. They specialize in spreading terror, enslaving inhabitants of planets, and imposing uncomfortable living arrangements. They know no mercy, modesty, or compassion, lording over all other species of life. An age-old enemy of Karmapolis, the Grotonians have been fighting an intergalactic space battle with the people of Karmapolis for eons.

Saving Eva: The Family

Eva
Eva is a 15-year-old girl from Suburbia, USA. Raised by her two loving, but slightly oblivious parents, she has learned to be an independent individual…which is not a popular mentality among most teenagers. Despite her depressingly low number of friends, she is kind, giving, and outspoken, which garners the respect of the Karmapolis Heroes (whether she likes it or not).

Mom
Mom is Eva's loving and lovely mother. While not always a source of sage advice, she has only the best intentions for Eva. Fortified by her mug of something, Mom has been happily married to Dad since the beginning of time, as far as Eva or anyone else knows.

Dad
Dad is Eva's devoted and preoccupied father. With his nose in the newspaper and brain in the clouds, Eva knows that at least his heart is in the right place. He has been happily married to Mom for as long as he can remember, and would have it no other way.

POLL RESULTS!:
Should Pirate and Ninja join the ever-increasing army of temps, accepting a year contract even though it means a reduced wage and an even more reduced concept of employee benefits and rights?

• Yes; it could be a way to stay fiscally afloat for a year (or less...) while looking for better employment. Just like everyone else is trying to do! [12%]
• No; this could merely exacerbate the problems their having in finding a more permanent job. Duh. [0%]
• Yes; maybe they like dead-end jobs. Benefits are frivolous to them. 401k's are for snobs! [12%]
• No; they should move to a less populated area where the employers are forced to treat their staff better. Also, stop wasting money in juice bars. [75%]
