《The Eightfold Fist》79.5. "The Glossary"

Advertisement

Due to the ever-increasing size and scale of the story, I thought a glossary would be useful to help keep track of everything. Listed here are brief descriptions of characters, places of interest, and the various odds-and-ends of the world they live in. Still under-construction, but this will have spoilers for the Prologue (Episodes 1 - 4), with very minor spoilers (such as the existence and allegiances of certain characters) for Episode 5 and beyond.

Character List

New England

By the sword we seek peace. A quiet peace under liberty.

Consisting of the same six states from the former United States, New England has had a turbulent fifty-year history, from the Presidential Restoration that founded it to its peak following the Upstate War and its defeat in the First American War.

West Narragansett Technical Academy

Class 2-C

Isaac Spallacio

Power: The Eightfold Fist (Supercharged Fist and Ability to Produce Clones)

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 1 – The Funeral

On the border of medium height to tall, usually with messy brown hair, generally wakes up ready to take on the day, always ready to lend a hand to someone in need. Determined to never give up or never give in, though that can make him a little stubborn, especially when any of his pet peeves (Slovenliness, Piper, alleged violations of alleged social norms) are involved. Loves life, though he’s naïve to it in a certain way, as many of his ideals, including several school-learned ones, don’t always hold up in reality. The brawn.

Audrey Adzinoki

Power: Accelerate cell growth of plants

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 1 – The Funeral

Medium height, medium blonde hair, you’ll never find a happier girl. Audrey is fun personified, always enjoying the small moments in life, a perpetual smile on her face...until she reaches a breaking point. But when those points come, her friends will be there for her, since she’ll always be there for them. Not the most academically-gifted student, but she always tries her best. Scatterbrained, but she always means well. The heart.

Hibiscus Reed

Power: The Domino Sword (Sound wave manipulation)

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 1 – The Funeral

Short, unkempt brown hair, dour and sour, plain and dry. Reed wants a lot of things, or maybe really just one thing in particular – some vaguely defined sense of freedom she continually finds to be just out of reach. Of course, she has little motivation to do any reaching anyways, spending most of her time bumming around with her friends or getting high, sometimes both at the same time. Has a nasty habit of lying and scheming that generally blows up in her face at the worst time. The brain (though she’d tell you she’s all three).

Mackenzie (Something)

Power: Can emit radar waves

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 2 - The Sewer

Tall, long blonde hair, the Class Rep for Class 2-C. Can be seen as authoritarian, both in her management style and in her political beliefs. But she does care for her class and especially for Lynn, her best friend.

Lynn Falls

Power: Super Speed (Though Not Quite)

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 2 - The Sewer

Short, blonde with a blue streak in her hair, a nice and pleasant girl. She generally goes along her merry way in life, but her occasional empty-headedness can land her in trouble. Does better with taking orders than giving them. May or may not be in love with Reed.

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 3 - The Ring Dings

Daniel “Dan” Turner

Power: Can emit gas from his palm

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 3 - The Ring Dings

Medium height, sandy hair, laidback personality. Always ready with a sarcastic comment, Dan is Isaac's best guy friend.

Demetrius Diakos

Lionel Coleridge

Barbara “Babs” Muran

Piper Piper

Power: Platinum Disco (Can emit blinding lights)

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 1 - The Funeral

Oksana Nazarov

Power: Snake Manipulation

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 4 – The Microwave

Short, mousy brown hair, a perpetual lack of emotion on her face. Had an odd childhood involving Russian “population movements” and atomic warfare before ending up in New England. A special friend may or may not be there for her in times of trouble.

Class 2-B

Ryan Leekman

Class 3-A

Clayton Wesley

Power: Wind Manipulation

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 1 - The Funeral

Tall, sandy hair, relaxed and as cool as a cucumber. Clayton is the strongest user in the school. He's a bit of an airhead, which ties nicely with his ability to manipulate the wind.

Hanai Hanaki

Class 1-D

Esther Adzinoki

First Introduced: Season 1, Episode 1 – The Funeral

Power: N/A (Just a genius)

Tall, long black hair, beautiful, the smartest girl in the school. Too bad she has problems with connecting with anyone in the school. Always shy, Esther is much more comfortable around her books than she is with people, because people don’t fit into neat little boxes like her facts do. Highly loyal to Chairman Stockham, the man who got her out of poverty (which can make her forget about the sister who got her through poverty). A fun fact about her is that sometimes, lying in bed late at night, she feels a little lonely, which makes no sense since being alone is so much better, right? (Sometimes she also wishes the Central Powers won World War I, but that’s a story for another time).

The second-largest city in New England, located on the southern coast in the Bay of Buzzards. The stronghold of the Reeds, it was once a coastal city-state before becoming the driving force behind the Presidential Restoration that founded modern New England.

Androscoggin

The third-largest city in New England, located in central New Hampshire. It’s a massive, overpolluted, overcrowded industrial city flooded with rural migrants, with the governing Androscoggin Military Police just barely able to keep a lid on everything.

Media

Film

Of Limes and Lemons

One Week in Vienna

Two Weeks in Vienna

Won "Participant" at the 2218 Berlin Film Exposition.

Visions de Lyon

One of Reed's favorite films. In Nazi-occupied France, a young woman must choose her own path while caught in a love triangle.

Japanimation

My Little Sister and I Couldn’t Have Possibly Been Reincarnated as Modern Day Spirit Hunters

The second-greatest Japanimation of all time, according to both Isaac and Reed. The main character, Takibi, and his little sister, Yuki, are reincarnated thirty years into the future, as Japan faces a crossroads of destiny. Complicating matters are evil spirits wreaking havoc across the country, led by a mysterious man named Yuji. Other characters include Takibi’s childhood friend, Chikyu (both Isaac and Reed’s favorite, who, of course, doesn’t win Takibi’s heart) and Yasashi, a memorable one-episode peasant girl (though she does reappear in the manga apparently).
