The Gold Digger series has a large ensemble cast, in total spanning hundreds of characters.
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 "Gia" Diggers Gina's "baby sister" and Earth's last full-blooded were-cheetah. Adopted as an infant by Gina's father, Brit has 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. Brittany has also settled down (some) to be a doting wife, loving mother, and kick-ass martial arts instructor.
Brianna Diggers Part Gina, part Brittany, 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 has started to learn aura magic under her father, and helps to design equipment for her friends in the Vaultron Force on the side. She marries Zan after learning she is pregnant with his child.
Theodore Diggers Gina's arch-mage father. Theodore adopted Brittany after he failed to stop the slaughter of the were-cheetah 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.
Stryyp'Gia Brittany's husband, and the crown prince of the alien Kryn species, who arrived on Earth and founded El Dorado long 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, Stryyp (also called Stripe, as his name sounds like stripe, and his pelt is striped) freed his people with the help of Gina and Brittany. He and Brittany have a daughter, Tiffany, and Stryyp himself works for Agency Zero, an undercover organization composed of former superheroes who now perform their good deeds discreetly and anonymously for better efficiency, and to make themselves into less of an open target.
Tiffany 'Gia Tiffany inherited her mother's were-cheetah powers and new symbiots replicated from her father's. She also spent her early life being educated by a living world-computer, and has developed into a genuine prodigy. Though mature for her age, she is still very much a little girl. Her symbiots help her process information and protect her from harm. Her recently manifested were-cheetah abilities are likely to make her more powerful than her mother some day.
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. 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 and/or silly, although highly amusing. The Peebos have starred in their own spin-off miniseries, where the less advanced series models occasionally guest star.
Zan A wild man and Ebenezer Sleake's assistant. He entered a relationship with Brianna and married her after discovering she was pregnant with his child.
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 archaeological. Both 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. She married Ace and is pregnant with his child.
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 a boyfriend/fiancé to Gina's ex-rival, Penny Pincer. He knows Penny is right for him, but had difficulty facing the commitment level of marriage, but they eventually wed.
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. Charlotte has progressed to an early teenager mentality, is constantly learning new advanced science at school, is best friends with Brittany's daughter Tiffany, and the two have many fun adventures together.
Seance Theodore's apprentice and one of Gina's common adventuring partners. Seance can see the daydreams and mental visualizations of others and communicate and channel the spirits of the dead. Though he originally was interested in Gina, he eventually initiated a relationship with Genn.
Ryan Tabbot Both a former rival and boyfriend of Gina Diggers, Ryan possesses photographic reflexes that allow him to duplicate the same moves of anyone he sees in action even once, resulting in his base fighting skills coming from Kung Fu movies. He put these skills to good effect, becoming a professional treasure hunter. While not on the level of Gina or her rival Penny in terms of archeology skills, his physical abilities allowed him to traverse dangerous tombs and other locations easily. As the rivals began finding more dangerous locations, Ryan and the Diggers sisters began to team up with increasing frequency, and Ryan and Britanny Diggers would often match up against less ethical rivals like Irwin 'Peewee' Talon and his team of enhanced bodyguards, Daishi, Zelda, and Ionis.
Additionally, Ryan's a professional mixed martial artist, practicing against some of the best fighters in the world on Team Jet, alongside fighters like Ayane Anno 'Mistress', one of his long-time friends, and more recently Jade-realm fighters Gar Silvear, Luan, and Carla, who he introduced to the fighting circuit.
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 a former lover, but grew attracted to Seance due to his 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 married.
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.
Ancient One A Nomad Artificer who is a possible future version of Madrid, who was thrown into the distant past before the formation of the present universe. She has been manipulating events to save the universe from the threat that banished her into the past, and reunite with her family, the Diggers.
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 blends elements of the men to whom Gina responds most positively. He and Madrid have reconciled and are dating.
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 hook him up with Gina's sister Brittany. 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. His full name is Garfield.
Sheila Silvear A were-jaguar who is the younger sister of Gar and also a member of the Northern Edge-Guard. Sheila has a defect where all the size, power, and measurements commonly associated with the hybrid form are present in her human form, while her hybrid form is short and underdeveloped. This has led her to occasionally be mistaken for a child, which her tendency to refer to any kind of physical punishment as a 'kapowie' doesn't help with.
Luan Geas A former ninja spy/assassin from Jade, whose parents 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 Deltoya 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".
Vaultron Force A group of five leprechauns, with code names based on 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 form even more powerful 'giant' (to a leprechaun, anyway) robots; such as the full combination, Super King Kamehameha Vaultron. The Vaultron Force has clashed with the Uompa-Luompan prince Lowtor and his Snacktekons, his chocolate golem Dupity-Doom (a parody of the original Megatron), and even the Ninja-Pirate Leprechauns, and their Gaolion ship. The similarity of these names to Voltron, Keith, Princess Allura, and the Oompa-Loompas is undeniable.
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 of Shangri-La, he befriended and helped her get back to Earth. After a reformed Madrid was rescued and brought to Shangri-La to recover, he befriended her as well, and now explores the Astral Rifts with her.
