List of Gold Digger characters


The Gold Digger series has a large ensemble cast, in total spanning hundreds of characters.

Diggers family

Gina Diggers

Archaeologist, super-scientist, and adventurer; lover of all things Monty Python, Roddenberry and Lucas. After many years exploring the bizarre and inexplicable all over the Earth and off it, she now teaches archaeology at a local university in her home in Atlanta, Georgia, preparing the next generation of adventurers. Her current project is Earth's Age of Wonders.

Britanny "Gia" Diggers

Gina's "baby sister" and Earth's last full-blooded were-cheetah. Adopted as an infant by Gina's father, Brit has accompanied Gina on most of her adventures as an assistant and bodyguard, even if she would rather have been exploring high-end clothing stores at the mall. Brittany has also settled down to be a doting wife, loving mother, and kick-ass martial arts instructor.

Brianna Diggers

Part Gina, part Brittany, and all trouble. Brianna blends Gina's technical brilliance and Brit's physical prowess with an unsettling helping of weapons mania. Her innate, semi-instinctive talent for magic can be a mixed blessing, but it sure comes in handy when she runs out of ammo. Brianna has started to learn aura magic under her father, and helps to design equipment for her friends in the Vaultron Force on the side. She marries Zan after learning she is pregnant with his child.

Theodore Diggers

Gina's arch-mage father. Theodore adopted Brittany after he failed to stop the slaughter of the were-cheetah clan. While his attempts to teach his daughter Gina his own magic arts resulted in failure, he helped her start into her discovery of science and technology where she excelled. Since then, he has watched both his daughters grow up, though not without occasionally terrifying their potential boyfriends.

Julia Diggers

Gina's mother, and a master martial artist, but Julia was under a spell which made her unable to visit Earth, or interact with her family during most of Gina's childhood. Gina and Brianna eventually removed the curse, and since then she has re-earned her title of Armsmaster of Jade, as well as becoming a master of the Shun-Leep style of martial arts, starting her own school on Earth.

Stryyp'Gia

Brittany's husband, and the crown prince of the alien Kryn species, who arrived on Earth and founded El Dorado long ago. Due to a misunderstanding, El Dorado and Atlantis had been locked in a cold war for centuries. After an Atlantean sorcerer enslaved the inhabitants, Stryyp freed his people with the help of Gina and Brittany. He and Brittany have a daughter, Tiffany, and Stryyp himself works for Agency Zero, an undercover organization manned by former superheroes who now perform their good deeds discreetly and anonymously for better efficiency, and to make themselves into less of an open target.

Tiffany 'Gia

Tiffany inherited her mother's were-cheetah powers and new symbiots replicated from her father's. She also spent her early life being educated by a living world-computer, and has developed into a genuine prodigy. Though mature for her age, she is still very much a little girl. Her symbiots help her process information and protect her from harm. Her recently manifested were-cheetah abilities are likely to make her more powerful than her mother some day.

Peebos

Cute, goofy, childlike, self-aware, technomage bombs, without common sense, invented by Brianna Diggers by unconsciously combining golem magic with advanced artificial intelligence.
Brianna eventually adopted the three most advanced models as children. Peebri, Peegi, Peebrit, are each modeled after Brianna, Gina, and Brittany, respectively, so by raising them, Brianna can picture what it would have been like if she grew up with her sisters. As such they have a relatively free rein and are encouraged to learn for themselves, but unfortunately Peebri's antics are often destructive and/or silly, although highly amusing. The Peebos have starred in their own spin-of miniseries, where the less advanced series models occasionally guest star.

Zan

A wild man and Ebenezer Sleake's assistant. He entered a relationship with Brianna ad married her after discovering she was pregnant with his child.

Friends and allies

Penny Pincer

Gina's one-time rival and sometime partner, Penny is one of the few people who can go head-to-head with Gina on matters academic and archaeological. Both are equally intelligent, though with some different specialties. She's quite territorial over her relationship with Kevin "Ace" Koss, Gina's longtime friend and transport provider. She married Ace and is pregnant with his child.

Kevin "Ace" Koss

Gina's longtime friend, transport provider, and fellow adventurer, Ace is capable of piloting just about anything that flies. He is also boyfriend/fiancé to Gina's ex-rival, Penny Pincer. He knows Penny is right for him, but had difficulty facing the commitment level of marriage, but they eventually wed.

Charlotte

A harpy, originally bioengineered as a mindless slave to the villainous Alfred Peachbody, Charlotte was quickly freed from his influence and adopted by Penny to train as her bodyguard. Penny has come to care for Charlotte as a surrogate mother, and her protege has advanced and proven herself several times over. Charlotte has progressed to an early teenager mentality, is constantly learning new advanced science at school, is best friends with Brittany's daughter Tiffany, and the two have many fun adventures together.

Seance

Theodore's apprentice and one of Gina's common adventuring partners. Seance is able to see the daydreams and mental visualizations of others, and to communicated and channel the spirits of the dead. Though he originally was interested in Gina, he eventually initiated a relationship with Genn.

Gennadrid

A half-djinni-half-rakshasa, and daughter of Madrid, Genn can mimic the form and abilities of anyone she has encountered, and originally used it for seduction purposes, as she needed to feed on ethereal energy to survive. She is one of Brianna's best friends, and former lover, but grew attracted to Seance due to his high magical ether levels, and fell in love with his kind personality. As Seance is heterosexual, she removed her ability to assume male forms to accommodate him, and the two are currently married

Madrid

Formerly the spoiled princess of the Djinni, Madrid once sought the power to grant her own wishes. To get it, she disguised herself as Gina and tried to kill off the real one. The disguise was too perfect; Madrid was now mortal and gradually came to resemble Gina more and more in body and mind. A traumatic experience caused what was left of Madrid's personality to give up and die, leaving only a copy of Gina's mind with Madrid's memories. Now she seeks to explore other worlds and work out her new life.

Ancient One

A Nomad Artificer who is a possible future version of Madrid, who was thrown into the distant past before the formation of the present universe. She has been manipulating events in order to save the universe from the threat that banished her into the past, and reunite with her family, the Diggers.

Dao

Madrid's fellow Djinn and ex-husband. Ever since Gina's group found his focus and brought it home, he has put his natural intelligence and creativity to work as Gina's lab assistant. He has also become smitten with her, both physically and mentally, gradually assuming a form that blend elements of the men to whom Gina responds most positively. He and Madrid have reconciled and are dating.

Gar Silvear

A were-jaguar from the magical world of Jade, Gar apprenticed under Gina's mother, Julia when he was a young teen, becoming like a son to her. She even tried to hook him up with Gina's sister Brittany. When Julia became a Shun-Leep master, Gar left the Northern Edge-Guard to be her student on Earth, and he is her most advanced pupil. Gar retained some infatuation with Brit’ even after she married, but has slowly been developing a relationship with his fellow student Luan Geas. His full name is Garfield.

Sheila Silvear

A were-jaguar who is the younger sister of Gar and also a member of the Northern Edge-Guard. Sheila has a defect where all the size, power and measurements commonly associated with the hybrid form is present in her human form, while her hybrid form is short and underdeveloped. This has led her to occasionally be mistaken for a child, which her tendency to refer to any kind of physical punishment as a 'kapowie' doesn't help with.

Luan Geas

A former spy/assassin from Jade, whose parents were murdered by the undead knight Rook, Luan trained with her friend Carla at the Shun-Leep school, where they founded a fan club for its most famous graduate, Julia Diggers. Luan began falling in love with Gar when they had to work together to help Julia regain her title and honor. During that adventure, she and Carla were assigned to study under Julia on Earth. She is almost as skilled as Gar, but has less control.

Carla Deltoya

Another Shun-Leep student from Jade, who is very baffled by the technological wonders that most take for granted, the prudish Carla is currently testing her skills in Earth's Universal Fighter Federation circuit alongside Ayane "Mistress" Anno, under the circuit alias of "Desire".

Vaultron Force

A group of five leprechauns, with code names based on the shapes seen in General Mills Lucky Charms cereal. They pilot cybernetic shoes, which together form the robot Vaultron. The squad is led by McKeith and Princess O'Lura, who designed the robots. O'Lura also designed Plasma Ballerina and Nemesis Shamrock, which can combine with Vaultron to form even more powerful 'giant' robots; such as the full combination, Super King Kamehameha Vaultron. The Vaultron Force has clashed with the Uompa-Luompan prince Lowtor and his Snacktekons, his chocolate golem Dupity-Doom, and even the Ninja-Pirate Leprechauns, and their Gaolion ship. The similarity of these names to Voltron, Keith, Princess Allura, and the Oompa-Loompas is undeniable.

Subtracto

Subtracto is a Nomad Artificer, a race of machine-intelligences predating the universe, although he seems to believe that he is a mere Artificer construct. Found in the Astral Rifts by Empress Lynn of Shangri-La, he befriended and helped her get back to Earth. After a reformed Madrid was rescued and brought to Shangri-La to recover, he befriended her as well, and now explores the Astral Rifts with her.

KIA

Kia is the artificial intelligence guiding a fortress-ship of the Dynasty of Stars, a race that terrorized much of the galaxy ages ago. Kia was left behind in quasi-space, the "ocean" between dimensions, when the Dynasty departed there. After Kia befriended Gina and her sister Brit’, he transported them back to Earth. He then settled into a parking orbit over the dark side of the Moon to sort things out.

D'Bra

D'Bra, or Debra as she is sometimes called, is the princess of the dragon race, and the daughter of Dreadwing. A fact no one holds against her. She is a member of Agency Zero.

Enemies

Dreadwing

Gina's first and deadliest major foe, Dreadwing is an ancient and superhumanly intelligent iron dragon driven by calculating malice and ambition. To stop his conquest of time, Gina rigged his Time Raft artifact to explode, and he was blown into the time stream. Pulled back to Earth's ancient past by another of her enemies, Dreadwing embarked on the construction of a model of the Universe, with which he could manipulate reality and gain revenge.

Summoner

A living magic artifact, Summoner can create an infinite number of living spells which all share a mental link. For a time Summoner believed that she was a human supervillain, during which time she fell in love with the hero-turned-villain, Tyrant. When her love was killed during a rescue gone bad, a grieving Summoner unleashed her full power to destroy the one who killed him, but she was subdued and left behind in a collapsing pocket dimension. Dreadwing commandeered her after everyone else left, and she currently serves as the lynch pin of his assembled forces. She is rather bitter about her current service, as Dreadwing shows her little respect, a fact that could come back to haunt him soon...

Rio

Patriarch of the Dynasty Of Stars, a family that turned against the rest of their kind over a horrible misunderstanding and resulting, equally horrible overreaction. He led a crusade that resulted in the virtual extinction of the rest of his species, as well as the conquest of most of the known universe until trickery caused the Dynasty to flee into Quasi-Space, billions of years ago. Rio is highly intelligent, immensely powerful, and experienced. He views 'lesser' species as fodder for the Soul Furnaces to make the armies of warrior-drones that serve his Dynasty, but species that possess a certain level of prowess can earn a sort of respect, though he will still enslave them. Stryyp's people, the Kryn, were one such species, whom Rio regarded as "the Heroes' Tribe."

Roxy "Dark Bird" Rabinowitz

The hardbitten leader of Night Flight, the world's premiere mercenary team. Dark Bird's hated Ace ever since he blithely proved himself a better pilot than her or any of her team, and routinely foiled both their missions and her attempts to bring him down. Dark Bird speaks with a distinctive New York accent and is a highly aggressive pilot, willing to go to rather petty lengths over a grudge such as the one she holds against Ace. She has led Night Flight from their aerial aircraft carriers, Gull Base and later, Gull Wing, though she will also take to the skies in her own jet to lead from the front.

Skipper Von Richthofen

Chirpy and helpful, Skippy hardly seems like an air mercenary, but it apparently runs in the family. She has had a crush on Ace since she first saw him, and Dark Bird has convinced her that the only way to win Ace's heart is to beat him in air combat. Skippy may just have the skills to do it, too. She's a better pilot than Dark Bird, and at least Ace's equal.

Natasha Volstov

The Queen of the Vampires, Natasha rules most of the Realm of the Undead. Her first encounter with Gina involved unseating Gina's grandfather, then the Lich King, who had taken over Natasha's throne. Proud, selfish, and hedonistic, Natasha very much enjoys her power and position and sorely resents any threat to them.

Alfred Peachbody

A supersmart dog from an alternate future. He created Charlotte and attempted to sterilize Theodore and Julia in the past, but was foiled by Brianna. He eventually merged with Dreadwing.

Pirate-Ninja Leprechauns
