Real World Appearance:
Name: Michael “Mikey” Berth
Age: 24
Height: 6’4”
Eyes: Brown
Username: Mikeswrath7
Bio: Mikey is a realist first and foremost. His mind quickly pieces together the big picture from even small details. To date he has the fastest neural connection speed observed by the Gaia staff. This allows him to see things in zOMG! approximately 3.14 seconds before anyone else. While this isn’t much it does allow him to warn his crew and seemingly anticipate the animateds’ actions. While not the kindest soul he has been known to be nice to people whom he deems worthy of such gifts. He fashions himself as a hybrid between a mage and a knight when he dons his online persona. Mikey’s brain unknown to him until his arrival at Gaia HQ has a high capacity for information and can readily absorb information if it is formatted the right way, strangely the animated are perfectly formatted. Unknown to the other members of the crew Mikey has had a troubled life growing up. His father was barely home and when he was he was a violent drunk, valuing his job over his family, his mother needing an escape was never home. This left Mikey raising himself and his younger sister from a very young age. Mikey struggled against a life stacked against him as he went through school. He worked countless hours in addition to studying to get through college. And when he was done he graduated with honors with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Much to his disappointment finding a job proved difficult and he resigned himself to a retail job at the local Target. He slaves night and day there only to be tormented by his younger less intelligent coworkers. Originally, he viewed zOMG! as way to relax and escape his hellish life. But now that he has become a part of the crew to save it, he feels the mantle of having to lead the crew descending on his already worn shoulders.

Real World Appearance:
Name: Kerri Werner
Age: 24
Height: 5’4”
Eyes: Brown
Username: Kerryvern18
Bio: Kerri was always the strange and obsessive girl when it came to life. She never was the perfect student. In fact she never liked school and was done with it once she finished high school. Her parents were okay with it. When she dons her wyvern persona she becomes a witch who’s experiments accidentally turned her into a salamanderlike creature. They love their daughter so much that they were willing to let her stay with them well past 18. She enjoys spending her time online badge hunting on zOMG! and can often be found massacring animated, her victim choice solely dependent on her day’s mood. When she first joined the crew she was nervous about playing with other people. She is very compassionate and does not hesitate to offer comfort to the others when needed. Though Mikey annoys her, she can see past his callous attitude and see what he hides inside.

Username: JohnnyBlaze007
Bio: Jeremy when he joined Gaia was an underage user. He tends to be the brains of a crew, at least until someone insults him. Then he becomes a troll intent on bringing misery to the crew that insulted him. Despite his age he is a senior in high school and is often picked on for his height. This has lead Jeremy to become a talented fist fighter as he has had to defend himself numerous times. He viewed zOMG! as a safe place he could hide and be dumb. Since joining the crew he has become the smart alec of the team, often to memorizing various stats about each ring. And even talks back and bad mouths when things don’t exactly go as they should. This habit tends to agitate Mikey the most.

Real World Appearance:
Name: Henry Dole
Age: 20
Height: 6’0”
Eyes: Blue
Username: Hendogry
Bio: Henry was always the ladies man whether online or offline. Henry was always the muscle-bound type who could be found in the gym. Until he discovered Gaia his time gradually became divided between the cyber women and actual women. His most recent interest, Penelope, is the first he’s actually been sincere with his affections. Despite this old habits die hard. When he joined the crew he saw Mikey as the de facto leader because of his ability to make snap decisions. However, he still goes out of his way to show his affections to Penelope, even going so far as to don the avatar of a gentleman. Despite Mikey’s attitude Henry was the first to pick up on a hidden crush Mikey had on Kerri. He views Jeremy as the dorky little brother in the team and tends to treat him as such. Mikey tends to give Henry lessons in sincerity while Henry gives him pointers in wooing women.

Henry is her boyfriend. Despite it being a joke to her at first, she soon developed real feelings for him. She often seeks advice from Jeremy and Kerri about how to talk to Henry about maybe being more than just an online hookup.
