History: Claire joined the Carnival, and then went very artsy, taking the name The Artist Formerly Known As Claire (or TAFKAS for short).

She was the one in charge of kidnapping a Paragon City Council member during the time the Carnies kidnapped Tick-Tok.

History:Joseph came to Paragon to help out rebuilding, but got stuck in the most boring and mind-numbing job ever; Techsupport. It was at that time that he started making the prototypes of his current armour on a dare. When he realised his potentials and the power he had under his hands, he decided to do The Right Thing and a new superhero was out on the streets.

Joseph moved into the Whitmoore Apartments and has had several team-ups with the various other residents. He has recently gotten married.

History: Josie is the tomboy darling of a ranching family from western Texas. She is the partner of Stateswoman.

She moved into the Whitmoore Apartment Building.

After that dramatic event there is then nothing almost nothing for five years. No records of schools attended or anything. Bernadette has never discussed what she was doing over those five years in much detail in interviews other than saying she way privately tutored and receiving singing lessons. No one has figured out what she was doing during that period, though there are several “conspiracy” type theories, often put out by superhero fanboys.

Then, when she was 17, she appears in Paragon City as a student at Paragon High School where she quickly became involved in a group of teenage heroes called CAST, a team that was backed by the Powers Corporation (a company that was heavily involved in superhuman research of all kinds as well as development of advanced weapons for the US government). One early event after her first appearances in Paragon City that has been little publicized was the Powers Corporation and Edwards’ Enterprise (the corporation that backs Team-1, another Paragon City superteam) paying for damages to the owner of Mc’Gilly’s pub for the extensive damage caused when Bernadette apparently attacked an Irish hero named Rook (a member of Team-1) in the pub. There are some rumors that Rook once had some connection to the IRA before coming to the US. But whatever cause the fight between Bernadette and Rook it was short lived as since that point they have been seen together several times, both in and out of superhero work and appear to have a relationship akin to a big brother/little sister one.

Other than the many menaces that CAST faced during their short existence, the other biggest event for Bernadette’s life from membership in that team was her year long and very public relationship with a fellow team member, Alex Young, one of the only other members who’s identity was public. The relationship came to an end when Bernadette left for California to start her singing career and she has stated before that their relationship ended because of differences between them as to the direction they wished their lives to go. Not long after the breakup, Alex was institutionalized for a short time, but later released. He and Bernadette have been seen together at times since then, and she has stated in interviews that they are still good friends.

Then of course there would be tons of interviews with her over the last two years in newspapers and magazines from all over the world (but the majority being US and British ones). There are several official photo shots with her in Rolling Stone, Vogue, Maxim and other similar magazines (though she has turned down offers for shoots from Playboy). She is also know to be good friends with Avril Lavigne and the two are supposed to be working on a joint holiday album.

Recently Bernadette has been seen with various superheroes who are also attending Paragon University.

History: Hyper-Man rescued a teen-aged woman from a Circle of Thorns ritual. He fled to the Whitmoore with her. HCA 01 and Hyper-man helped her (after, much to her surprise, Thunder Girl, zapped HCA with lightning.) She has no memory of her life before the Circle ritual.

Hyper-Man managed to track down her parents and reunited her with them. They believe her memory will be repairable.

History: Tsora'kai is from a different dimension. He has jumped to a couple different dimesnions before ending up in Paragon City. The previous dimension he made enemies with a group called the Dominion, led by a self-styled king of all dimesnions Dominus Kai. As an act of retribution, Tsora'kai was sent spinning into a different dimension - Paragon City.

He ended up at Paragon University where he was found by Aleisha.

History: Lawrence 'Larry' Chatwood was an electronics prodigy. His father was one of the leading researchers investigating the Clockwork. He was doing research on the workings of the Clockwork until one was able to get a signal out to the greater Clockwork mind. The experiment his father was working on went terribly wrong, and Larry found himself in the body of a Clockwork but unable to overcome the powerful mind of the Clockwork King.

For five years he worked under the rule of the Clockwork-King, and gained himself the name "Tick-Tok". He stole and killed. Following the King's commands, he and other Clockwork attacked Crey labs, and he was thrown into a garbage heap..

He was taken in by Necronus, a hero with his own vendetta against the Clockwork. They decided to stay at the Whitmoore and that's when Tick-Tok's true tale began.

Necronus was killed by the Clockwork King, and Tick-Tok was at loose ends. After the battle, he found a substance that may help him fight against the Clockwork.

Despite the intense dislike Ishtara had demonstrated towards the little mechanical, he followed her, Dark Harrier, Nicholas Dent, and Shadow Marshall to the bar the Flaming Moe. While at the Flaming Moe, a group of Hellions attacked Dent, and during the fight, Necronus reappeared alive.

Tick-Tok joined the group in going after Oscar, Dent's mentor. He was the only one of the group who knew that the Paragon Stalker was back in control of Shadow Marshall's body, but knew none of the heroes would believe him, so he kept it to himself.

Tick Tok joined Dent's group to help him defeat his former Outcast mentor Oscar. He was surprised when Dent nearly killed Oscar, but he was not aware that the Shadow Marshall had killed another Outcast.

The Zigg morgue called Dark Harrier and let him know about the dead Outcast. He and Tick-Tok went to the morgue where Tick-Tok revealed that it had been the possessed Shadow Marshall who had killed the Outcast.

Through some quick detective work, he, Tick-Tok, Dent, and Elumien figure out that the body belonged to the Paragon Stalker, and that currently the Stalker and Ishtara are out playing pool. The heroes start planning how to get the Marshall back in the body, and how to keep Ishtara safe.

The Stalker was 'playing' with Ishtara, trying to lull her into complete relaxation to fully betray her and to see it in her eyes as he killed her, but she received a mental call from Elumien, and they hurried back to the Whitmoore.

While guarding the roof to make sure nothing interfered with the spell and to make sure the Paragon Stalker did not escape that way, Tick-Tok's memory of his human life came back to him. He swore vengeance on the Clockwork and their king. He went out to fight the Clockwork, but a couple princes teamed up on him, and Tick-Tok barely escaped.

Tick-Tok was returning to the Whitmoore when he was hit by a car. He managed to crawl his way to the Whitmoore. Master Sergeant Gevin Riley saw him there and called to have the Clockwork picked up, but Elumien was able to see the human soul within the robotic body. Elumien rebooted the Clockwork body, and Chatwood was able to tell his story. Elumien managed to stop the hero Mountain Blitz from destroying the Clockwork with a soul.

Tick-Tok found the information as to where the Clockwork King's new lair was. Gathering a force that included Elumien, Riley, and Dark Harrier, they headed back into Boomtown to find the base. Completely obsessed with his vengeance, Tick-Tok charged into the base and the heroes were fighting for their lives. As Tick-Tok battled the Clockwork King, the ceiling collapsed on them, and Elumien disappeared in the collapse. Tick-Tok and Dark Harrier struggled to the surface where Tick-Tok found his comatose body in a steel coffin. Tick-Tok managed to dig down far enough to see Elumien disappear into a rift with a Banished Pantheon Spirit of Pain.

After Necronus left Tick-Tok became a real boy. Lawrence Chatwood was his name but he liked to go by Larry. Using some technology someone owed him from past savings he made himself some new armour which increased his power tenfold. Now today he is one of the long time residents of the Whitmoore.

Tick-Tok also enrolled in Paragon University where he took classes from Brother Psyche.

History: Mr. Tortur is a warehouse foreman whose forklift was reprogrammed by the Clockwork. Ishtara accidentally teleported it to her room while trying to redecorate, and Mr. Tortur called the police, who assigned Ishtara to find it.

The Forklift was later returned to the warehouse, and Mr. Tortur rudely dismissed Ishtara.

History: There is a police report from Indiana State University about the incident with defending the girl from the abusive boy friend, complaints to the college from students listed in his school record, and family is highly in debt back home due to the farm not doing too well.

He started attending Paragon University, and on his first night in town, he went to Pocket D. There he met several heroes. The following day, he received his rooming assignment with Ross MacBain (EmeraldClaymore) Ross and Clique took Ian to register in Atlas Park.

A number of soldiers recounted how they took a liking to him. They fed him and clothed him, calling him “Tubby” because he was so rail-thin. Perhaps Tub Ci wanted to pay the soldiers back for their kindness, or possibly he wanted to lash out at the Vietnamese invaders he saw tearing up his homeland, but Tub Ci led a group of US soldiers to a hidden Vietnamese camp near where his village had once lay. When they told him they had destroyed the base, apparently his only response was to give a shy little smile.

No matter how often he was chased off the base by various officers, Tub Ci always found his way back. He proved himself several times over by acting as a guide and scout for the soldiers who liked him best; and he learned everything he could from them, from English to gambling at cards to learning how to fight.

When the US forces withdrew in 1975, Tub Ci was 15 and had spent a third of his life studying soldiers. What all he learned in that dirty, secret war may never be known, but he had a clear destiny in mind – he had to get to America, which was where his fortune and future lay.

Tub Ci moved from one gang to another in those years, as opportunities arose for promotion and as different groups fell to a variety of costumed heroes. Although he felt some affinity for his own people, as a displaced orphan he could also be described as “rootless,” and some profilers have suggested this helped him move freely between different gangs.

It was only a matter of time before Tub Ci was arrested and ended up in the Zigursky Penitentiary. Inside, his battlefield and gangland experience helped him prove how hardcore he was. Tub Ci’s two-year sentence for drug running was extended by another eight years after he killed an inmate in a prison-yard brawl.

During his years inside, Tub Ci came across another Hmong prisoner – the older Pha Xiong, who had also lived through the Vietnam War and had fought with the French in the 50s and 60s. Pha Xiong was serving a life-sentence for murder in the first degree. His file is incomplete, but it appears he was a deadly master of martial arts, and known to have certain mystical powers.

At some point Pha Xiong shared most if not all of his secrets with Tub Ci. The greatest of which was the key to the tattoos of power. Each tattoo is inscribed by hand, similar to the Japanese irezumi style, and uses a special ink infused with rare Chinese herbs and catalyzed by the blood of the wearer’s enemies. Preparation of the materials is believed to be a long and involved process, but somehow Pha Xiong was able to do so even under the eyes of the warden, and it is suspected that he initiated Tub Ci into this sinister practice.

When Tub Ci was released in 1995, he was even more firmly plugged into Paragon’s underworld than ever before. Now his intelligence and fighting skills had been honed to a razor sharp edge, and this was enhanced by newfound mystical arts. Other people knew of Pha Xiong, and it was clear that Tub Ci was his heir – they sought him out to learn, and to work on his behalf.

Tub Ci zealously guards the secrets of his power, teaching his followers only after they have proved themselves time and time again. He is proud and self-reliant, potentially to the point of his own demise. Tub Ci knows more about the currents of Paragon City than he lets on, but he is convinced he and only he can lead his people to glory.

When Mark Hanson (SteelDragon) received training from the Tsoo and then betrayed them, Tub Ci okayed the death sentence on Hanson and his family. The Hanson family was killed, but Mark escaped.

Tub Ci recently was told that Mark Hanson was SteelDragon by Erik Gregory Winslow. He joined the group of villains on a revenge mission, but he did not follow the timing set down by Winslow. Instead, Tub Ci led his Tsoo warriors against Winslow's targets, which did not happen to include SteelDragon. Tub Ci was defeated by the EmeraldClaymore, Thevshi, and Hollow. He was sent to the Zig where he was freed by Peg. He was present at the LaGrange Hospital takeover. He led the attack on the heroes entering the lobby, and was defeated by Mithril Zeta and Hollow.
