After Re Verse All
Patreon or PayPal Me keeps this site and its author alive. Thank you. |
This is an attempt to capture for reference a character paper snapshot of the character Johnny Angel, a support character in the Multiverser novels who debuts in Re Verse All. Johnny is built on an actual player character who asked to be included in the book, and thus the basic information about him comes from that player's early character sheet. This sheet includes everything that is confirmed about him, plus a few extrapolations, in that book, and thus represents him as he is at the end of the seventh Multiverser novel. We expect Johnny to return in a later book at an earlier time in his life, so this is very much incomplete.
The picture was provided by the player on whom the character is based; he appears a bit older here than he is in the verse, but it will suffice.
To assist the referee, most entries include at least one coded reference to a chapter or chapters in which the item is mentioned; thus by cross-referencing with the story you can determine the details. The chapters are identified by which character's story is being told, and thus most of those here begin with "Ta" (because at this point Johnny is a support character in Tomiko Takano's story); this is followed by a three-digit number indicating the chapter number for that character, not the chapter number for the book. Thus if you want to find the first reference to him, you read here that it appears in Ta024, and on the index page for the sixth novel you search for the text "Takano 24" and that will take you to the link for that chapter. Obviously the chapters beginning "Ko" are Joe's story, and thus "Kondor", those beginning "Ha" are Lauren's story, and thus "Hastings", those beginning "Sl" are Bob's story, "Slade", those beginning "Br" are Derek's story, "Brown", and those beginning "Be" are James Beam.
