A comic by Inorionota / Autocon / James Hayes

-Good Guys-

Ark

ArkArk is a daring and somewhat cocky lad who loves adventure. His adventurous spirit, as well as his willingness to help total strangers, gets him into many situations that aren't as easy to get out of as they are to get into. He dislikes time travel, as it makes him timesick, although he claims the main problem is the mode of travel (a trashcan) and the stench...

Pyozos

PyozosPyozos are a race of creatures that resemble small bears. They are from the future, and are on a mission to stop the ultimate evil from devouring the world. The first and most important one is Pyzo, the Pyozo that Ark first encounters. Pyzo is daring and doesn't think ahead much, and seeks thrills and adventures. The king of the Pyozos is King Pyozo, who wears his royal bandana with pride. He is dignified and prefers to send delegates to do what needs to be done, but he isn't rude, obnoxious, or lazy. The third Pyozo to play a role in defeating the threat looming over the whole world is Pyza, a Pyozo maid, although her role is small.

Crono

CronoCrono is a somewhat more mature (yet daring) young man, especially when compared to Ark. He is a veteran time traveler, and his experience may come in handy... Crono is tasked by King Pyozo with training Ark in the ways of instant time travel, as well as aiding him in defeating the menace that looms over them all, the ultimate evil, Pacman.

Syeborge

SyeborgeA robot from the future, SyeBorge is equipped with armor and advanced weaponry. Pyzo was sent on a mission to gather parts and materials to build a robot to destroy the ultimate evil, but Ark threw the parts away. King Pyozo sent an army of Pyozos to find the parts, and return with them. When they did return, Ark was the brilliant genius who used the parts to design this futuristic robot, incorporating both powerful weapons and superior armor. SyeBorge's mission: destroy the ultimate evil - Pacman. Can it be done???

Jazor

JazorWhen SyeBorge was taken to the scientist Ciel to be reprogrammed and repaired, the robot's blueprints were used to create another robot - Jazor. The weapon and armor modules used on SyeBorge were combined with Ciel's knowledge of a legendary robot hero and are embodied in this fiercely loyal warrior. While Jazor is kind and compassionate towards friends and allies, woe betide any foe who dares to cross his path!

Jazor

JazorJazor suffered major damage when he tried to stop SyeBorge's mad rampage, so Ciel rebuilt him and upgraded his armor. Now Jazor is more powerful than before, and ready for any foe, even SyeBorge himself. His battle with SyeBorge, and SyeBorge's betrayal, may have caused Jazor to become more cynical, but he is still as kind as before, even if he does not show it as much as he used to.

Kirby

KirbyKirby was the second energy-based creature designed by the Pyozo. Although the Pyozos created the blueprints, and adapted his energy-absorbing properties from their first experiment, it was actually Ciel who put it all together to make Kirby. He has the mental state of a toddler, but learns quickly, and can fight better the best trained commandos.

-Miscellaneous-

Ciel

CielCiel is a scientist and robotics genius. When SyeBorge's programming seems inadequate, the Pyozos take the robot to her to be fixed. In exchange for rebuilding and reprogramming SyeBorge, she is given the blueprints of SyeBorge, which she uses to build another robot... She also aids the heroes by designing a containment device for Pacman's capture. Unfortunately, she is the only one who knows how to use the device...

Time Cruisers

Time CruisersWhat good is a comic without a title, and what good is a title if it doesn't tell something about the comic? This title speaks volumes, informing the reader that the comic is about time travel. The words also tell readers something else - the characters come from Terranigma and Chrono Trigger (since it is obvious the words in the title come from those two SquareEnix masterpieces).

-Bad Guys-

Pacman

PacmanThere is always an ultimate evil somewhere... and Pacman is that evil. His appetite is voracious, his hygiene outlandish, and his manners disgusting. His one goal, the driving force in his life, is to devour everything in sight. Pacman has energy properties similar to a Metroid - he can turn what he eats into pure energy. He was a bizarre science experiment, kept hidden in a remote lab, until the day he ate all the scientist. He continued growing as he ate, and eating everything he came in contact with, until the day he ate the world...

Talon

TalonThe leader of the elite robots sent to capture Pacman is unsure of his master's motives, but loyally carries out his duties nonetheless. Talon may have reservations regarding his superiors, but his honor, loyalty, and courage are unquestionable. His training and programming makes him the best tactician in the history of the world. Talon's quiet but strong personality commands respect, and his superior logic has converted many foes into blind followers.

Jinan

JinanA swift, silent ninja robot of unknown origins, Jinan's goal appears to be to capture Pacman for himself. He is one of the three elite robots whose sole purpose is to find and capture the source of ultimate energy. If that means destroying any other robots sent to do the same thing, then so be it...

Denebian

DenebianDenebian is by far the strongest of the elite three robots. He is also the quickest to anger. He is always found in the middle of a fight, regardless of who started it or why... and he seldom loses, even when outnumbered. If he needs backup, or spies, Denebian calls upon his bat drones, who are never far away. His quick temper doesn't lend itself well to Talon's plans, but nevertheless he is an outstanding warrior, and the team relies on him when things get tough. His master relies on him to keep Talon in line and focused on the mission...

Malcom

MalcomMalcom is the mastermind behind the Pacman kidnapping. He seeks to harness Pacman's energy-absorbing properties to create the largest, most powerful energy plant, in order to design and build more powerful robots. Nobody knows what he plans to do with these robots, but many suspect it might be world domination...

Syeborge

SyeborgeAfter a fateful and fatal encounter with Denebian, SyeBorge's personality programming deteriorated and his mind snapped. Despite Ciel's immediate and thorough treatment, his core personality remained shattered. Another encounter with Denebian unlocked the hidden reprogramming and turned him to the darkness... literally. Now SyeBorge follows Denebian's orders, but his true loyalties remain shrouded in mystery...

Syeborge

SyeborgeOnce SyeBorge had stolen Pacman for Denebian, he started thinking about the power he could gain by harnessing the raw energies of Pacman. A little calculating was all it took to convince him that he could exponentially increase his power, so he used his energy absorber module to absorb Pacman, further enhancing his capabilities and changing his armor's color once again. It was then clear that his true loyalties lay only with himself. His ultimate goal still remained shrouded in darkness...
