Swappernetters: Supporting Cast Story Pack

The Swappernetters: Supporting Cast Story Pack is a game pack that is part of the Swappernetters Story Pack Series. It details the Sodality Western Militia, as well as other allies of the Swappernetters that are either in hiding in Arkansas / Arkonia or else are defending the western territories from Chrome Kite and Icy Finger expansionism, making the most of their exile in the wake of the Sodality of Gerosha having fallen.

Descriptions
This pack is primarily concerned with detailing key members of the supporting cast. Mainly, it is concerned with allies of the Swappernetter Society that are not part of it directly. While far from a comprehensive list, these are some of the most noteworthy outside allies with whom the Swappernetters relay communications.

Steve Trussel
Steve Trussel is one of a handful of Financiers, who exist at the very top tier of Swappernetter Society.

Trussel in particular has the most belief in swaying Congress in Texas to pull back more and more on the Beliah Amendments - pushing for the eventual abolition of the Amendments and the Kirby Act, to replace it with fairer legislation. He is also closely working in secret with Lex Philippine to develop backup ways of dealing with the Tug - so that if the Frontliners fail, there may be another way to let the Sodality into Arkonia.

Steve must play both sides. As a Financier, he must give crumbs of his fortune earnings to the Swappernetter cause. He must otherwise, operate fronts, and pretend to be a legitimate businessman who is at least willing to work with the Chrome Kite - if not show them total allegiance. Trussel is seldom ever seen by anyone directly; as this is how he is able to get Chrome Kite and Swappernetters alike to work with him.

Francine Smith
Francine and Tobias were madly devout. They were wholeheartedly convinced that, in spite their different stations and obligations, they were going to have a life together. It may not have fared too well with her mother that she became pregnant with Tobias' child; but she never wavered from her belief that Tobias was the one.

Alas, her getting too close to him made her a target for the Screwworms. This tragedy would further solidify Tobias' determination to make the Chrome Kite pay for her death, and the death of his unborn offspring!

Francine's passing was tragic; but it paved the way for Tobias to become more focused. Also, it allowed Sarah a chance with him - though it made her feel guilty. If she couldn't help Tobias destroy the Chrome Kite, could Sarah ever truly earn the right to replace Francine in his life?

Anda Hirano / Extirwraith
Thought to be dead, Anda Hirano survived her adventure with Shing Xu to foil a sinister Hebbleskin conspiracy in China in the early 2010s. This crazy Japanese woman received a frequency-altered version of the same Marlquaan beam that hit Eric Opendi, leading to her becoming immune to most Tug devices and becoming a pseudo-onryo that patterned her new way of life after Extirpon's. Only, the Triumvirate's actions worldwide, plus getting older, have removed her charming-yet-obnoxious youthful demeanor. An older woman now, Anda is the Extirwraith.

She arrives for unclear reasons in Arkonia, shortly before Bliksemhek begins her own rampage. It dawns on Tabby that getting the two banshee-like women to battle each other to the death may very well be the key to saving lives. But how to talk this strange visitor from Japan into it?

Shaniqua Tamery
At the secret behest of Lex Philippine, Shaniqua violates the common protocols for SCALLOP, and invades Ameristan in violation of the wishes of Texan House members. She is declaredd a fugitive, and is fired from SCALLOP's payroll. She saves Tabitha and Sarah from goons that kidnapped them from a juvenile center, and even helps them with escaping Ameristan and returning them back into Arkonia.

But for her part in saving their lives, Shaniqua has to throw her own away. She goes on the run, and eventually joins the Navyropes.

Eddie Castral Pintal / Extirpon II
Wanting the family diner to succeed didn't work out too well for Eddie. With the Icy Finger looking to expand Arkonia's borders for the Chrome Kite, Eddie soon found himself in the Navyropes. He was later assigned Eric Opendi as a mentor. And when Eric reaches a point where he can no longer bear the strain of being Extirpon, Eddie eventually replaces Eric in the role. Learning his lessons from Eric teaches Eddie to be a (slightly) more self-controlled version of the monster.

But he also takes heed from the original: unlocking the Positive Battery will be necessary, yet very difficult. Without it, however, Eddie can never transcend to being the true hero that Eric was. He must succeed, or else he will only know how to be the monster. The destroyer.

Roy Bernald / Gray Rancher
Roy Bernald was once a doughboy fighting on the front lines of WWI. Then, one day, a Marlquaan storm hit. He found himself with most of the same abilities as John Domeck, but trapped in the 21st century! It didn't take long for John and Vince to find him, and take him in. Being a fish out of temporal water gives him an even bigger existential crisis than the one John experienced, coming to 2012 from the 17th century!

In time, however, he grows to understand what is all happening - and to embrace the challenge laid before him too! He wasn't meant to fight Germany. He was meant to do what John was getting too old to - even with the Marlquaan slowing down the latter's aging!

Roy understood that it was his destiny to be the next manifestation of the Gray Champion. To restore hope. To avoid confusion while on the western front, and to allow John some more time to rest in his old age, Roy didn't adopt the Confederate Hybrid outfit of his predecessor. He instead embraced a new identity: the Gray Rancher.

This phantom rider (but not in the Marvel sense) patrolled the west as part of the growing Sodality Western Militia, ensuring the Chrome Kite didn't gain any expansion ideas. Yet, he knew he'd need allies. Navyropes. Plum Bixie. Anyone who was Tug-resistant. He was honored to learn of John's family; and longed to meet the Pangs one day.

Amado Marcones
Amado Marcones was the only family member of the Marcones family to support his sister Pam's decision to marry Eric Opendi. The rest disowned her for associating with Extirpon. He eventually moves with the Opendis to the Western Territories, in the wake of America's collapse, and after the fall of Netheel.

He becomes a point-man for Bunnywork done by the Swappernetters, as well as a key member of the Sodality Western Militia. However, what he is known most for, is marrying Zize Choi - the "Plum Bixie." He looks after her, as she begins losing the ability to speak and suffering mental health issues.

He notes to those who would travel with him that they should be mindful around his wife. While she may not look particularly powerful when compared to the Gray Champions and Extirpon, she is less merciful than they. And she is one of the most efficient mundane killers he's ever seen.


 * Note: If you wish to include Zize, she can be downloaded through the Sodality: Task Force Black Rat Character Pack.

Samantha Steel / Dollschief
At one point, Jordan is captured by the Phaletori. They perform experiments with his DNA, but he escapes before being turned into anything unnatural. He later returns to the lab with allies to shut it down, and finds a prisoner that broke loose - a Marlquaanite child who is a mischief-themed Emotion Battery Marlquaanite, able to assume a doll-like monstrous form with creepy giggles!

This creature, Dollschief, in human form, is a purple-haired child who uses the reality-warping child's play to hide how scared she is. The woman who was raising her up until that point was another prisoner - whom the Phaletori guards killed. Tests reveal that Jordan's DNA was used in part to create "Dollschief," and that she is therefore technically Jordan's biological daughter.

Jordan Sterlie-Steel himself having been adopted after his mom finally marries, the new Steel family welcomes Dollschief into their home. Jordan raises her as his daughter, "Samantha." Samantha quickly takes a strong liking to her dad, as well as to Jordan's girlfriend, Tabitha - who reminds her of her kindly earlier caretaker. Jordan marries Tabitha shortly after she's released from SWCC, and the younger Steels are able to be a proper family.

After a few years, Trevar Steel is born to Jordan and Tabitha, giving Samantha a half-brother to look after with much delight.

Hea Pang
Hea has been John Domeck's closest friend and ally in the world, ever since she discovered him in 2012. She regrets nothing of being his sidekick. She only regrets not marrying Kyle Medsor. For years, she was the Keeper of Hester's Locket. Yet, the Icy Finger eventually learned of her ties to the Gray Champion. Therefore, the Chrome Kite was not about to let her simply wander free.

After her initial SCALLOP internment ended, they had her placed under heavy terms of probation - which she mostly honored. They were unable to prove anything; but the strong signals of Marlquaan energy irregularity from Marge's house strongly implied a power transfer. Finding Marge without any powers was suspicious as could be. Hea was immediately blamed for it, and sent to prison along with Marge.

She is able to get visitation from Amado Marcones - the brother of Pam Marcones-Opendi (and the only Marcones supportive of Pam's marriage to Eric Opendi). Though him, she maintains limited correspondence with John. However, John is hard on himself for his failure to save Arkansas. And serious about his mission to train Roy as his future replacement! Amado is also the new husband of Zize Choi - the long-missing "Plum Bixie" that tried so hard to protect the Idaho division of the Exodus Agenda back in 2018 and 2019.

In addition to this, Amado likewise coordinates with Beauregard - to relay messages back and forth indirectly between Tabby and Hea. Hea tries to lay low, serve quietly, and bide her time; praying that her daughter will either rescue her, or that her daughter will at least make her life to have truly had purpose.

Some of the only relief that Hea gets while stuck at McPherson, is the fact that she is with partial good company. In spite lacking powers, Marge is there for her. Jissika Sundue is also there with her; though she's considered the "annoying little sister" of the three-woman posse.

Marge Ramirez
After the events in Vindication, Marge was under house arrest in Arkonia. However, she didn't cover her Marlquaan trail very well when transferring her powers to the Twirlflame Trio. The regime eventually deduced that she had retired from being Mapacha entirely, and were none too amused that they'd have three new Mapachas to deal with!

Marge was sent to McPherson's almost immediately, without trial, as punishment for the Mapahca powers becoming unaccountable.

One of the other women in the center unwittingly prophecies to her: "One day, you'll be a greater hero without that power, than you ever were with it."

This proves to be horribly true. Marge's taking a stand not only saves Hea's life; but secures Jissika's escape. Her sacrifice - and Ivalu's - results in the Percolation Warriors breaching Earth-G7's hard wall. It also secures with them a truce with Nordreichdun and the Order - and the Sodality (what remains of it.) John Domeck gives the fight of his life to avenge his daughter's death.

On top of that, the massive size of army invading causes even Rappaccini and his hordes to grow fearful and desperate - to the point of summoning a literal demon! Which...fazzles out quickly, when Cherinob and the Angelic Army immediately send it away!

The Battle for Little Rock proves to be more epic than the Battles for Gerosha, Cincinnati, Houston, and Dephinapolis combined!

Jissika Sundue / Nemara
Defending western Canada along with her cousin eventually proved too dangerous, and Jissika was caught. Perhaps it wasn't the wisest idea for the Icy Finger to extradict her to Arkonia - where she wasn't even wanted for anything! All the same, she was reunited in McPherson's with her sisters from the Order.

They began to notice a change in Jissika. She took the family faith more seriously than before. She was a lot less wild. As she reveals to them, it's because as a child, she often felt unloved, and unloveable. To prove the girls at the village wrong; she would act out. And when she turned 16, hormones got in the way, and she got carried away.

Now, however, she's a little more accepting of the fact that she may not find true love. What really catches everyone by surprise, is when she converts a guard to the Order's cause - and then seduces him, and runs away with him! However, amidst all the hustle of chaos which at one point breaks out at the prison; she and Kevin Schemple are unable to get to Hea to rescue her. Nor are they able to save Marge or Ivalu in time from being tortured to death.

Ivalu's gruesome death in particular leads to the Order and Nordreichdun putting aside their differences, and declaring all-out war on Arkonia. Helping the Swappernetters destroy the Tug turns into a top priority, as even some visitors from other Abdygalan Verses are trying to find a way to breach into Earth-G7, just to lay the smackdown on the Chrome Kite and Rapppaccini!

What Kamohoalii is able to inform Nemara and her future husband of is something even more grand: if they can somehow beat Rappccini to the punch on opening up the Multiverse, they can lead the invasion on Little Rock with younger versions of fallen Sodality heroes in their primes from an alternate timeline, leading to two generations of heroes in their primes teaming up to destroy the Icy Finger's evil experiment! Jissika is game for that. The buggers have kidnapped her and tossed her in prison to hide their own crimes for the last time!
