IGNORED, THE


Volume Vlll: One-Eyed Jacks

Sludge - A head that's just a bump growing out the top of his torso, flippers for legs, two sets of constantly moving tentacles in place of arms, blue black oily skin, and a stench that puts Crypt Kicker to shame. Jeez, some people get all the luck. Unsettling appearance notwithstanding, Sludge is, in fact, an Ace - and not a very nice one either - with enhanced strength and the power to transform nats into beings like himself. Now that's just nasty.

Scent - Director of the Veterans Outreach Program at the Jokertown Clinic, Scent's a Joker with no eyes (or eye sockets), but he does possess a massive honker that's extremely sensitive to smell. Not in any hurry to meet Sludge.

Giggle - This tall, slender Joker suffers from a skin disorder whereby every sensation tickles her and makes her laugh. Only known antidote is a constant loop of Martin Lawrence movies (a practise that's illegal in many countries).

Dr Pretorius - Joker lawyer with a conscience (huh?) and a ponytail, Pretorius is fairly normal looking except for his right leg below the knee, which is black, green and warty with pus-filled lesions. Unfortunately, It's gradually spreading upwards, and when it reaches his torso, it's good-night Vienna for the good doctor.

Barbie - Pretty Joker with a perfectly formed body and normal adult features, offset by the fact that she's under two feet tall. Steers clear of children's parties as much as possible.

Charon - Basically a viscous, translucent, hollow sphere about eight feet in diameter, with two eyes and a mouth at the top, hundreds of cilia underneath, and mild telepathic abilities, Charon is an amphibian Joker who's resides in the East River and is the only means of getting through Bloat's Wall and onto the Rox. Helpful hint: don't go to the Rox.

Susan - Joker with grotesquely overmuscled jaws and mouth that enable her to bite through pretty much anything. Even airline food.

Warlock - Tall, imposing head of the Joker street gang, the Werewolves, nobody really knows what he looks like beneath the ever-present mask. Word on the street is that he can place a curse on you and you'll be dead within 24 hours, although his actual ability is to see imminent death on a person's face. Still enough to scare the shit out of himself and everyone who knows him, though.

Leslie Christian - Extremely smug, blond, mercenary English Ace, and Shadow Fist member capable of astral projection and irritating anyone he talks to.
