Gold Digger Characters

The series has a large ensemble cast, in total spanning hundreds of characters. Some of the main members include:
The Diggers family
Gina Diggers
Archaeologist, super-scientist, and adventurer; lover of all things Monty Python, Roddenberry and Lucas. After many years exploring the bizarre and inexplicable all over the Earth and off it, she now teaches archaeology at a local university in her home in Atlanta, Georgia, preparing the next generation of adventurers. Her current project is Earth’s Age of Wonders.
Britanny Diggers
Gina’s “baby sister” and Earth’s last full-blooded were-cheetah. Adopted as an infant by Gina’s father, Brit’s accompanied Gina on most of her adventures as an assistant and bodyguard, even if (most times) she would rather have been exploring high-end clothing stores at the mall. Brit’ has also settled down (some) to be a doting wife, loving mother, and kick-butt martial arts instructor.
Brianna Diggers
Part Gina, part Britanny, and all trouble. Brianna blends Gina’s technical brilliance and Brit’s physical prowess with an unsettling helping of weapons mania. Her innate, semi-instinctive talent for magic can be a mixed blessing, but it sure comes in handy when she runs out of ammo. Brianna may never settle down, but has started to learn aura magic under her father, and helps to design equipment for her friends in the Vaultron Force on the side.
Theodore Diggers
Gina's Arch-mage father. Theodore adopted Brittany after he failed to stop the slaughter of the werecheetah clan. While his attempts to teach his daughter Gina his own magic arts resulted in failure, he helped her start into her discovery of science and technology where she excelled. Since then, he has watched both his daughters grow up, though not without occasionally terrifying their potential boyfriends.
Julia Diggers
Gina's mother, and a master martial artist, but Julia was under a spell which made her unable to visit Earth, or interact with her family during most of Gina's childhood. Gina and Brianna eventually removed the curse, and since then she has re-earned her title of Armsmaster of Jade, as well as becoming a master of the Shun-Leep style of martial arts, starting her own school on Earth.
Stripe
Brittany's husband, and the crown prince of the alien Krynn species, who arrived on Earth and founded El Dorado hundreds of years ago. Due to a misunderstanding, El Dorado and Atlantis had been locked in a cold war for centuries. After an Atlantean sorcerer enslaved the inhabitants, Stripe freed his people with the help of Gina and Brittany. He and Britanny have a daughter, Tiffany, and Stripe himself works for Agency Zero, an undercover organization manned by former superheroes who now perform their good deeds discreetely and anonymously for better efficiency, and to make themselves into less of an open target.
The Peebos
Cute, goofy, childlike, self-aware, technomage bombs, without common sense, invented by Brianna Diggers by unconsciously combining golem magic with advanced artificial intelligence.
Brianna eventually adopted the three most advanced models as children, with removed self-destruction function. Peebri, Peegi, Peebrit, are each modeled after Brianna, Gina, and Brittany respectively, so by raising them, Brianna can picture what it would have been like if she grew up with her sisters. As such they have a relatively free rein and are encouraged to learn for themselves, but unfortunately Peebri's antics are often destructive or silly, although highly amusing. The Peebos have starred in their own spin-of miniseries, where the less advanced series models occasionally guest star.
Friends and allies
Penny Pincer
Gina’s one-time rival and sometime partner, Penny is one of the few people who can go head-to-head with Gina on matters academic and archeological. Both of them are equally intelligent, though with some different specialties. She’s quite territorial over her relationship with Kevin “Ace” Koss, Gina’s longtime friend and transport provider.
Kevin “Ace” Koss
Gina’s longtime friend, transport provider, and fellow adventurer, Ace is capable of piloting just about anything that flies. He is also boyfriend/fiancé to Gina’s ex-rival, Penny Pincer. He knows Penny’s right for him, but still can’t face the commitment level of marriage.
Charlotte
A harpy, originally bioengineered as a mindless slave to the villainous Alfred Peachbody, Charlotte was quickly freed from his influence and adopted by Penny to train as her bodyguard. Penny has come to care for Charlotte as a surrogate mother, and her protege has advanced and proven herself several times over. Currently Charlotte has progressed to an early teenager mentality, is constantly learning new advanced science at school, is best friends with Britanny's daughter Tifanny, and the two have lots of fun adventures together.
Seance Lei
Theodore's apprentice and one of Gina's common adventuring partners. Seance is able to see the daydreams and mental visualizations of others, and to communicated and channel the spirits of the dead. Though he originally was interested in Gina, he eventually initiated a relationship with Genn.
Gennadrid
A half-djinni-half-rakshasa, and daughter of Madrid (although in practice a much less harmful form of succubus), Genn can mimic the form and abilities of anyone she has encountered, and originally used it for seduction purposes, as she needed to feed on ethereal energy to survive. She is one of Brianna's best friends, and former lover, but grew attracted to Seance due to his comparatively high magical ether levels, and fell in love with his kind personality. As Seance is heterosexual, she removed her ability to assume male forms to accommodate him, and the two are currently in a firm and steady relationship.
Madrid
Formerly the spoiled princess of the Djinni, Madrid once sought the power to grant her own wishes. To get it, she disguised herself as Gina and tried to kill off the real one. The disguise was too perfect; Madrid was now mortal and gradually came to resemble Gina more and more in body and mind. A traumatic experience caused what was left of Madrid’s personality to give up and die, leaving only a copy of Gina’s mind with Madrid’s memories. Now she seeks to explore other worlds and work out her new life.
Dao
Madrid’s fellow Djinn and ex-husband. Ever since Gina’s group found his focus (an iron pot) and brought it home, he has put his natural intelligence and creativity to work as Gina’s lab assistant. He has also become smitten with her, both physically and mentally, gradually assuming a form that blend elements of the men to whom Gina responds most positively.
Gar Silvear
A were-jaguar from the magical world of Jade, Gar apprenticed under Gina’s mother, Julia when he was a young teen, becoming like a son to her. She even tried to book him up with Gina’s sister Britanny. When Julia became a Shun-Leep master, Gar left the Northern Edge-Guard to be her student on Earth, and he is her most advanced pupil. Gar retained some infatuation with Brit’ even after she married, but has slowly been developing a relationship with his fellow student Luan Geas.
Luan Geas
A former spy/assassin from Jade, whose paretns were murdered by the undead knight Rook, Luan trained with her friend Carla at the Shun-Leep school, where they founded a fan club for its most famous graduate, Julia Diggers. Luan began falling in love with Gar when they had to work together to help Julia regain her title and honor. During that adventure, she and Carla were assigned to study under Julia on Earth. She is almost as skilled as Gar, but has less control.
Carla
Another Shun-Leep student from Jade, who is very baffled by the technological wonders that most take for granted, the prudish Carla is currently testing her skills in Earth's Universal Fighter Federation circuit alongside Ayane "Mistress" Anno, under the circuit alias of "Desire".
The Vaultron Force
A funny group of five leprechauns, with names based upon the shapes seen in General Mills Lucky Charms cereal. They pilot cybernetic shoes, which together form the robot Vaultron. The squad is led by McKeith and Princess O'Lura, who designed the robots. O'Lura also designed Plasma Ballerina and Nemesis Shamrock, which can combine with Vaultron to turn even more powerful. The Vaultron Force has clashed with the Oompa-Loumpan prince Lowtor and his chocolate golem Dupity-Doom, as well as the Ninja-Pirate Leprechauns, and their Gaolion ship.
Subtracto
Subtracto is a Nomad Artificer, a race of machine-intelligences predating the universe, although he seems to believe that he is a mere Artificer construct. Found in the Astral Rifts by Empress Lynn onf Shangri-La, he befriended and helped her get back to Earth. After a reformed Madrid and rescued and brought to Shangri-La to recover , he befriended her as well, and now travels with her.
KIA
Kia is the artificial intelligence guiding a fortress-ship of the Dynasty of Stars, a race that terrorized much of the galaxy ages ago. Kia was left behind in quasi-space, the “ocean” between dimensions, when the Dynasty departed there. After Kia befriended Gina and her sister Brit’, he transported them back to Earth. He then settled into a parking orbit over the dark side of the Moon to sort things out.
Enemies
Roxy “Dark Bird” Rabinowitz
The hardbitten leader of Night Flight, the world’s premiere mercenary team. Dark Bird’s hated Ace ever since her blithely proved himself a better pilot than her or any of her team and routinely foiled their missions or her attempts to bring her down.
Skipper Von Richthofen
Chirpy and helpful, Skippy hardly seems like an air mercenary, but it apparently runs in the family. She’s had a crush on Ace ever since she first saw him, and Dark Bird has convinced her that the only way to win Ace’s heart is to beat him in air combat. Skippy may just have the skills to do it, too. She’s a better pilot than Dark Bird, and at least Ace’s equal.
Natasha Volstov
The Queen of the Vampires, Natasha rules most of the Realm of the Undead. Her last encounter with Gina involved unseating Gina’s grandfather, then the Lich King, who had taken over Natasha’s throne. Proud, selfish, and hedonistic, Natasha very much enjoys her power and position and sorely resents any threat to them.
The Pirate-Ninja Leprechauns
*Captain McMorgan: The Leprechaun McMorgan was a Harward-educated idealist until he took the fall for a billion-dollar swindle pulled by the Leprechauns’ arch-enemy, Prince Lowtor. When he was exiled, the King’s elder daughter, O’Mommah, went with him. They and a trio of disaffected ninjas formed a pirate band to earn back the lost gold and get vengeance on Lowtor. McMorgan captains the Gaollion, a four-mode robot designed by O’Mommah.
*O’Mommah: Elder daughter of the Leprechauns’ King Shamus, O’Mommah is a brilliant technomagical engineer. She frequently clashed with her father over freedom to create vs. the potential harm her creations might cause. Fond of her father’s financial advisor, McMorgan, she abandaoned her throne to go with him when he was framed for embezzlement and exiled. She became the first mate of his pirate-ninja crew.
*Platinus: Platinus is a magend, a living spell, unwittingly created by the living Enigma known as Summoner. Bonded to the dragon Fauntleroy, she is extremely powerful and loyal, but is also highly perverted, readily distracted by masculine physiques. Unknown to her master and his wives, Platinus developed full sentience. Were they to learn of this, she fears they would take it from her. As much as she adores her master, she will not sacrifice her soul for him.
*Lulubell: A former Hair Loss Fairy (easier work than a Tooth Fairy, but less pleasant and totally thankless), Lulubell was finally motivated to do more with her life when she hooked up with a musical mage named Spellvis. Her one big caper with him landed her a spell of singing Jailhouse Rock. She keeps hoping her spellcraft and knowledge of magical items will make him her hunka burnin’ love, but as far as Spellvis is concerned, she can take a walk down Lonely Street.
