Introduction for
Part one of the story; Sixkiller- Tale of the Silver Dime
Let me clear things up. There's a lot of confusion (even though you lot seem to be enjoying it) but I think I should just recap on what happened in the first part. So here it is, character related; (this is all up to and not including chapter sixteen)
This is also for those who have not read part one and only want to read part two.
The story takes place no earlier than 40 and no later than 48.
Original members of the Freedom Fighters (F.F); Victor, Mark, Dominic, Mickey, Roger, Abigail and Jimmy.
Added members to F.F; Sixkiller, real name is Sedra. Tom (temporary member)
Members of F.F (Freedom Fighters)
Victor Lance; Leader of the F.F. His best friend is Mark. His girlfriend is Abigail. After a confrontation with Sixkiller Victor burned out and crash-landed, you could say that his attitude towards the war is a bit like Jake in book 50 (The Absolute –the one where Cassie morphs owl) deep inside he knows that he still loves Abigail but because of his failures thinks he is not worthy of her, hence, gradually drifts away.
Originally, he was a strong and brave character, he's not like the leader Jake; get Rachel and mix her with Jake and you'll get a bit closer, but even then, he's a bit different than that. He takes the responsibility as a leader hard inside but shakes it off in front of the others. He's supposedly much funnier than Jake and not as serious –but still serious.
Mark Fall; Second in command in the F.F, he used to be Victor's best friend. This best friend relationship isn't like the friendship between Jake and Marco. For one thing these two will pull dirty tricks on one-another, which brings outrage to the other party, then after kicking the lights out of each other they'll come back and laugh about it; no hard feelings.
Mark's personality is typical in the outside; he's deviously bright, sly, has a tendency to stretch the truth when needed, strong, responsible, a stop-messing-around me-kind of person. And someone who will step up and say; 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth', so whatever the Yeerks do, he'll return it and more often; do it double.
So what happened to him after Sixkiller got introduced to the team? He put his life long friendship behind him and made it very clear that he wanted her 'his'. A more accurate picture of what happened (putting Sixkiller's character into mind) she practically had him wrapped round her fingers. Just clap and it's done. What appealed to him wasn't really her character but he chose her just because of her looks. She alone in the F.F understood Mark's need to return the Yeerks 'gratitude' double.
Victor's soft spot has always been Mark; he is used to pulling him out of trouble, so because of this, Victor invited trouble to his position in the F.F as leader, in no time Sixkiller managed to overthrow him and become the leader of F.F –havoc resulted.
Mickey Taylor; Mickey is a 'rich-guy' first, coward at heart second and Freedom Fighter third. No one is sure of where Mickey's loyalties lie. He doesn't like Mark very much, especially after what happened in the arrival of Sixkiller, he isn't very fond of Abigail either (nor is Mark by the way, Mark had specifically said that being an F.F is 'not a job for girls' in Abigail's face) Mickey has a special relationship with Dominic, they're friends because they could except each other's flaws much better than the others. Mickey has no ability to confront Sixkiller and is absolutely terrified of her.
His character? Well, he is a coward, he wouldn't risk his life for anyone, not even Dominic, he's spoiled because of his parent's attitude towards money (don't ask what his allowance is) and the only reason he actually fights is because he views his life as dull, routine and boring. A secret reason as to why he fights is because Mickey longs for a real friend, one that's not looking to lick away or take advantage of the money he owns.
After Sixkiller entered the team Mickey acted more withdrawn and sometimes missed meetings completely, he couldn't coupe with her demands, though when Sixkiller asked for money she got it (they used to buy weapons and blow the Yeerks up –when Sixkiller came into the team she turned the F.F into a well organized team of extreme terrorists)
Traditional meeting place for the F.F takes place in Mickey's mansion, his room to be exact, sometimes near his large pool and others in the garden (the F.F don't care much about people seeing them together –well they wouldn't, Mickey's mansion is built on private property.)
Dominic Douberg; Not much is known about him because he isn't a main character and doesn't take up a lot of attention, he's not close to any of the F.F (with the exception of Mickey) and keeps to himself. Background information; his parents are off in their busy lives and left him hanging, they are there but give him not even a second of attention, he has no siblings and never had a true friend. How well does he do in a fight? Not bad though he only does what he is told, he never adds extra input; if you say come here he would but he wouldn't help pick up the books you knocked over.
Roger Spade; he's huge, he's tough and he's stupid. I think the best way to explain Roger is to picture him as this huge dog. He's an extremely good fighter, quick in his combative actions. Massive in build. Loyal, kind, generous and a big softy (but not a softy towards strangers –he turns aggressive towards them grrrgrrr) Abigail says that if Roger was brighter he might have been her boyfriend, but Roger could only form a friendly relationship with girls and he wouldn't realize it as more than a friendship if he has these intense heartaches every time he looks at them. So the relation between them is a brother/sister sort of thing.
Roger's role in F.F is to keep it all talk between the boys in meetings, since all of them are capable of creating real damage Roger often knocks sense in those who don't listen, he's very loyal to Victor and will always do as he says.
There is an unknown side to Roger, he's mentally sick, he tortures animals and scares his little brother (Robert) in seriously demented ways –remember the cat incident where Roger cuts Meo-ow's tail off?
Roger's father died in jail and his devoted yet tired mother is left to try sort things out and fails to do so properly. Roger is his mother's 'big boy' essentially she still feels the need to watch over him.
Abigail Higgins; she's a confused girl who tries to keep everyone happy and fails to make herself happy in the process. It was partly her fault that Victor drifted (she didn't complain when the two-way-relationship turned one-way –later on she couldn't cope with Victor's indifference and turned to Tom)
Often nicknamed Abby, Abigail has -as I said- a close relationship with Roger. She dislikes Mark but has to tolerate him because he is Victor's best friend, she isn't close to Mickey and Dominic but had been a true understanding friend to Jimmy. She doesn't like to take a life and is seriously in love with horses, and being a country girl (she's Irish actually) had liked Jimmy's farmhouse and became friends with his family.
Abigail does not like Sixkiller, though she could never find the strength to go up and say it to her face. When Sixkiller joined the team Abby was put aside and given minor things to do –just to keep her out of the way. Abigail's source of stress comes from her participation in a huge slaughter that took place in one of Sixkiller's terrorist attacks, (more than fifty humans killed and three times that number of Yeerks)
When Tom joins in the picture, Abby finds herself attracted to him but holds off slightly (at first) because of her loyalty to Victor. When Mark finds out that Abby betrayed Victor he rushes forward and convinces Victor to make her take part in a mission who's objective was to get Sixkiller back and leave Abby with the Yeerks. Victor agrees but only very impassively. Obviously Victor is not using his head –not only is he depressed because of the war, but finds out that his girlfriend cheated on him (serves him right but he just isn't thinking clearly. It came to him in a spur of the moment, for a few seconds he wanted to hurt Abby and Mark was there to reinforce him.)
Jimmy Young; Cassie's brother. His existence is wiped out due to Sixkiller who has unusual abilities (more about that later) Jimmy never appears in my story, he's simply the 'boy who used to exist'. Cassie knows nothing of this and a brief thing about him; he's much like his sister though he fights better. You'll find out later in this part of the story why Sixkiller wiped out Jimmy's existence, and why she'll threaten to wipe out Cassie's line too.
Sixkiller- Sedra Elsettar; she's the mysterious girl in part one of my story, she becomes a main charter in part two and plays havoc.
In part one; Sixkiller is a prisoner to the Yeerks and Mark wants her out; this is all that is revealed besides her general nastiness. You'll get to know her better in part two because Mark rescues her from the Yeerks and we see what's the first thing she does to him; chapter one in Sixkiller- SXK flips Time, she has a very good way of repaying people, doesn't she?
Tom Berenson; brother of the famous Jake Berenson. He was liberated by the F.F. Their plan was to murder Tom's Yeerk but Jake (without knowing it –read chapter 4 in part one) was in the way and he ended up in hospital. Tom is is now free and living with Ax and Tobias in the national forest.
Tom develops strong feeling with Abby (she was the one who convince Victor to save Tom and just kill the Yeerk, Mark was against).
