  • Quiver

    Quiver is a former member of the Guild of Space Pirates and used to be their number one smuggler and stealer of important goods. He is also a charmer but his heart belongs only to the Princess. One day, while doing his usual pirating and snooping in the main Guild database, he came across a restricted file that was heavily encrypted.

    Using all the tools at his disposal he managed to open the files and discovered an old map and a series of ancient scrolls, chronicling the secret history of the Guild of Space Pirates. Finding out that the Guild was responsible for the creation of the AI that destroyed their home planet, he realized their whole raison d’être of their exile that resulted in the plundering and ravaging of worlds was a complete lie. Before he could alert his fellow Pirates, he was captured by the Admiral and sentenced to death. Using his wits and athletic ability, he quickly escaped and made his way through the pirate ship. However, the Admiral found Quiver before he had a chance to escape. Taking out his blaster, the Admiral squared the sights onto Quiver and began to squeeze the trigger. Quiver heard a loud bang. The Admiral slumped forward and Quiver saw it was the Princess who, thankfully, shot the Admiral first and saved his life.

    The Princess quickly brought Quiver to an escape pod and despite his protest, forced him to strap himself in so he could escape. Setting the coordinates for Earth, she pressed the launch button and Quiver rocketed toward his new planet. His escape pod did indeed reach Earth but it crashed during its descent. Finding himself by comic book store expatNERD Quiver took refuge in the middle of a bunch of long boxes and was quickly found by Franka. Despite bringing him under her protection, Quiver was quickly discovered by the Guild who used their powerful tractor beam and ripped the entire expatNERD store off its foundation and captured it in its hanger, where it has been since.

    Quiver is an olympic-level athlete, with vast experience undertaking very dangerous missions. This makes him an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant and extremely knowledgeable and proficient in all types of weaponry.

  • Marv

    Marv is the owner of comic book store expatNERD. He is business savvy and takes a customer service approach to everything he does. This allows him to not only be an effective businessman but also a promoter of comics as a medium. Further, it allows him to tolerate and actually befriend Curt who has showed up to his store every day since it opened.

    Marv and his friends’ abduction by the Guild of Space-Pirates has tested his resolve, courage, and Marv has become the leader of the group, though reluctantly. Luckily, he has Franka, his trusty colleague and friend, with him to anchor and guide him where needed. His biggest worry is Curt, who seems to be losing it. Though not an olympic-level athlete and slightly overweight, Marv is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, having taken boxing lessons in the past.
