Disclaimer: I own no one in the league. This first chapter only tells about
each character; things you might need to know in order to understand each
individual. The second chapter will be the start of the story.
Chapter 1: The New League
I'd agree if you think that these individuals are a strange mix.
Harry Potter- This British wizard is part of the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling, which most of you probably have heard about. In this story we'll say Harry is fifteen, right after the latest book that came out (Order of the Phoenix). He's extraordinary because he has escaped the Dark Lord (Voldemort) so many times. Voldemort is the wizard who killed Harry's parents when he was only one. We found out in the fifth book that Voldemort was after Harry because of a prophecy, and marked him as an equal by giving him a lighting bolt shaped scar on his forehead. Also in the fifth book his godfather, Sirius, died in battle. Which reminds me that he had to go off and live with his horrible Aunt and Uncle and their fat son, Dudley after the parents' death. At the age eleven, he found out he was a wizard (his aunt and uncle never told him) and attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he made new friends, new enemies and found out how famous he was.
Jack Merridew- I'm not sure if you know a lot about this character, but he is from the book 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding where he was stuck on an island with other British schoolboys for some time. Jack loves adventure, excitement, forming groups, giving out orders and though he did not admit it at first, loves to hunt. In this book he is head of the hunters, who hunt the wild pigs in the island. Things start to fall apart and lead Jack and his hunters separating from the others, wearing paint and clay on their faces. What's pretty violent is that the boys gets carried away and eventually on one rainy, thunder and lightning day, kill one of the boys, thinking he's the beast on the island. The kids eventually are rescued from the island. We'll say he's sixteen, which are hopefully some years after the accident. There's nothing really extraordinary about this character, only that he's a pretty vicious hunter, and I thought would do well to write him in this story.
Buffy Summers- I hope you've heard of her! She is a character on the show Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and is leader in her group of 'scoobies'. Since you know the title of her show you know what she is- a vampire slayer. The chosen one. See what's extraordinary about her- she has super slayer strength and has fought many demonic wars. She pretty much thinks it's lonely, and wishes she can quit- but she can't. The series did end with her not being the only slayer and destroying the town she lived in, Sunnydale, which was on top the hell mouth. Buffy at the end of the series was twenty something, not really fit for being called an adolescent. So I'm going to say that she is seventeen in this story and that she's in the third season of the show, where she has just came back home after running away.
Matilda Honey- She is in the book called Matilda by Roald Dahl and in the movie based on the story. Lets see... she lived some years with her parents, whom are vain and don't care about her. Their actions lead her to being this small little girl who is smart enough to go to high school, and smart enough to take care of herself (cook). What's really great about this girl is that she can move things with her eyes. In the end, her sweet teacher Miss Honey adopts her and that's why I decided to give her the last name Honey. She was around five and six when this all happened which is a very young age so I'm going to say she is fourteen in this story.
Jake Berenson- I had to add an Animorph! His story is very complicated, but Jake is the leader of the group in the series called 'Animorphs' where he was having a long war with a race called Yeerks, which were trying to take over the planet. Yeerks are slug like creatures that crawl into your ears and control you. I can't say much about this character, for it's been awhile since I last read the books- but I did finish the series. What's extraordinary about him is that he can turn into any animal (that he has touched earlier) for two hours time. Doesn't that come to great use? I don't know what his age was after the war (and after his cousin Rachel died) we'll just say he's around sixteen or seventeen.
Jesse Tuck- Thank fanfiction! I was trying to find a sixth character and I searched the sight and I remembered reading a book called 'Tuck Everlasting' by Natalie Babbitt (and watching the movie)! What's extraordinary about him is that he's immortal. One day at age seventeen, his family drank out of this fountain of youth, which made the whole family immortal! So he's like a hundred years old, but looks seventeen. We'll say in this story that this is after the situation with Winnie Foster for all of you who know who she is, all right?
I hope you stay and read the actual story, or else reading this chapter was like, no use. If you have anything on the characters, please tell me. (Especially on Jack, Jake and Jesse.) If you have any questions on the characters, I'll see if I can answer it.
