An extended family of mixed ancestry (fox-rabbit-ferret-clone-etc) primarily based out of Birr, Ireland. They've got a strong metahuman gene running in their bloodline and are often involved in the cosmic tales of the Cryok in addition to their own Earth-based superheroics. Contentious and often at one another's throats, they nevertheless manage to maintain something resembling a family unit throughout the decades.
FIRST GENERATION
Mallory Mallory
Real name and age unkown.
Likely born sometime during the Early-to-Mid 20th Century.
Deceased, 2017
Voiceclaim: TBD
A red fox vixen of ambiguous eastern European origin. Mother of Doc, Morgan, Margo, and Mirko. Adoptive mother of Mira. Grandmother of Rebecca and Ma'atthew. Retired pro-wrestler turned promoter and trainer. Missing her left eye; presumably lost during a fight. Very much a carny constantly looking for a new grift. Surprisingly very good at business management and promotion despite an apparent lack of a formal education. Frequently emotional and standoffish, many of her family members suspect she suffered some traumatic event in her early life that rendered her histrionic. Loves her children and husband deeply despite being overbearing. Killed by a brainwashed Squire during the 2017 Siege of The Cryok.

Dr. Edvin Mallory (née Tolos)
Born 1967.
An Irish rabbit of Greek ancestry. Husband of Mallory Mallory and father of Morgan, Margo, and Mirko. Adoptive father of Mira. Stepfather of Doc and grandfather of Rebecca. Upperclassman and peer mentor of Doc Mallory when he was a teenager. Began a secret relationship with Mallory Mallory in the late '80s while being trained in pro-wrestling by her and her son. When she became pregnant with triplets in 1989, he married her despite the large age gap between them. The reveal of their relationship caused a huge rift between Doc, his mother, and his best friend, leading to Doc’s leaving the country and not speaking to them for nearly two decades. Against all odds graduated college with a doctorate of sports medicine and opened a successful practice with help of his wife. A caring soul and responsible everyman, Edvin is nevertheless loathed by Doc for his perceived betrayal leading to a lot of tension between the two sides of the family. It's unclear if they'll ever be able to reconcile. Currently resides aboard The Cryok.

Elias Hawkwind
Born 1934.
Deceased, 1970.
Former lover of Mallory Mallory and father of Doc. A black-footed ferret and full-blooded member of the Ute tribe. An American journeyman pro-wrestler best remembered for being the only Native American performer of that era to fully embrace playing a heel character. Died suddenly at a young age due to mixing alcohol and painkillers. Mallory Mallory was very mum about him while Doc was being raised, leading to him falsely assuming that local promoter Chip Amos was his father, only discovering the truth about his parentage well into his adulthood. Little known about personality outside of wrestling career and scant archival footage. Has grandnephews that Doc has occasionally contacted. Despite being qualified for it, Doc has declined to seek recognized membership to the Ute tribe: “I don't have a people. Not really.”

SECOND GENERATION
née Marion Malloryson Mallory
Born 1970.
Red fox / black-footed ferret hybrid. Son of Mallory Mallory and Elias Hawkwind. Stepson of Edvin Mallory. Father of Ma'atthew Mallory. Adoptive father of Rebecca Mallory. Genetic predecessor of LADY. Former foster father of Isak Kitao. Husband of Zahra Xerfantes and former husband of Renée James Mallory. Founder and co-owner of Mallory & Kitao (formerly Mallory's Tailor Shop) in Niigata, Japan. Semi-retired pro-wrestler, martial artist, and actor. Frequent companion, right-hand man, and character foil of Zucca Xerfantes. Superhuman “pattern recognition” powers from traumatic brain injury as a youth; functionally a form of enhanced intuition via synesthesia. Moody and aloof, confrontational, and self-destructive. Devout Irish Catholic convert. Left Ireland and halted communications with the Mallory family in 1989 following a physical confrontation with Edvin and his mother after learning of their relationship. Vanished from Earth on Christmas Eve of 2012 and declared dead two years later. Returned to Earth on Christmas Eve of 2016, reuniting with the Mallory family for the first time in a quarter century. Initially vowing to stay with them only as long as it took to get his legal statuses restored. Decided to remain in contact with his extended family on insistence of his daughter. Was left with a limp in the right leg due to the 2017 Siege of The Cryok and requires a cane to walk (though the Xerfantes family maintain he has fully healed it is merely a psychosomatic pain). Dropped over 100lbs of weight to compensate for his injury. Considering a return to pro-wrestling just for the hell of it. Currently resides aboard the starship Swan Song with the ship's owner (and his wife) Zahra Xerfantes. Reverted to his birth name upon marrying Zahra. If everyone was gonna keep on calling him Marion anyway....

Margo Mallory / Marathon
Born 1989.
Part of the Mallory Triplets with Morgan and Mirko. Red fox-rabbit hybrid, vulpine, lean. Daughter of Mallory Mallory and Edvin Mallory. Takes the most after her older brother and was the clear favorite of her siblings because of it. Outgoing, sporty, charismatic and bull-headed. During a house fire at age fifteen she unlocked the ability to utilize either super strength or speed alternatively for a day, requiring a full night's sleep to switch between the two. Enhanced strength has upper limit of five tons, enhanced speed has upper limit of 250 mph and can be isolated to individual limbs for purpose of enhanced reflexes. These abilities come with the added side-effect of enhanced bone and cellular density and enhanced resistance to friction. She chooses to primarily go with the enhanced speed. Teamed up with Morgan and Mira to become the superhero team the Marvelous Mallories in 2007; identities publicly known and marketed by mother. Gradually learned her powers burn through her metabolism at an advanced rate, resulting in her aging faster than her siblings. As of 2021 is residing aboard Accuz Xerfantes' ship the Salvator as a patient after developing advanced early onset dementia.

Morgan Mallory / Multitude
Born 1989.
Part of the Mallory Triplets with Margo and Mirko. Daughter of Mallory Mallory and Edvin Mallory. Red fox-rabbit hybrid, vulpine lean. Chatty and political with early aspirations to become involved in the legal sphere. Deeply afraid of being alone or abandoned. Marked jealousy of her sister due to her developing classically heroic superpowers at a young age. Suffered a public panic attack during one of Mirko's stand-up routines upon realizing her siblings were accepted to college and she wasn't. This resulted in her developing the ability to divide herself into perfect duplicates with the limiting factor that each copy “fades” and has decreased mass and tangibility. After dividing herself three times (nine copies) she's basically just a strong breeze. For obvious reasons has never attempted to copy herself beyond this amount. The first use of her powers also resulted in the loss of her left thumb and the creation of Mira Jane. Currently living aboard The Cryok and serving on the Cryok Cooperative Council.

Born 1989.
Part of the Mallory Triplets with Margo and Morgan. Only son of Mallory Mallory and Edvin Mallory. A particularly rough hybrid – lapine, lean with vulpine teeth and eyes, usually hidden under contacts and dentures to pass as full rabbit. Marked antisocial tendencies due to suffering bullying earlier in life and feelings of inferiority compared to siblings. Has the ability to completely psionically control any technology he creates or improves within a bubble of roughly 500 feet. Homosexual. Possible narcissistic personality disorder. Lover of flannel shirts. Rare blonde guy who can convincingly pull off a mustache. Deep hatred of Marion stemming from a potpourri of reasons, not the least of which being jealousy and repressed sexual desire. Has demonstrated similar feelings towards Kristie Sparks so who knows what's really going on there. Became a space pirate following the 2017 Siege of The Cryok. Currently ventures around the stars in his customized ship Theseus; wanted and extremely dangerous.

Mira Jane Mallory
Born(?) 2006.
A complete, unbanishable genetic replica of Morgan Mallory accidentally created by the first use of her self-replication powers. Missing the thumb on her right hand. Having all of Morgan's memories and initially being physically identical to her, it fell on Mallory Mallory to determine which was the original version of her daughter utilizing the most scientific means available to her at the time: eeny meeny miny moe. Despite immediately being adopted into the family, being officially designated “the clone” was not something she enjoyed all that much and even years later she still keeps her sisters at arm's length and tends to side with the male side of the family whenever the usual arguments crop up. Mira Jane appears to have the balancing half of Morgan's self-replication powers: her body is permanently quantum-locked in the state she was when her powers first manifested, resulting in her being physically indestructible, requiring neither nourishment nor sleep, and seemingly being immune to all forms of radiation, hypnosis, and even extremes such as the pressures of the bottom of the ocean or the vacuum of space. Winning the superpower lottery comes with the downside of her body being completely unalterable; she will forever have the same haircut, weight, muscle memory and neurons of a nervy eighteen year-old regardless of how hard she tries to change and grow. This is played for horror. It's been postulated that her state is due to her not fully existing in our reality. Effectively having eternal youth and physical immortality, Mira Jane is a walking Macguffin and doom magnet that seemingly every faction in the setting has been drawn towards at one point or another. JAQ/L and the Church of Revenance in particular are VERY keen on keeping tabs on her for VERY different reasons.
Mira Jane, due to forever being stuck at age eighteen, is viewed as the baby of the bunch and is just about the only member that the entire family will spring to the defense of. She has refused to enter the superhero game despite her obvious utility. This hasn't stopped others from attempting to coax her into it or suggesting codenames for her with varying degrees of seriousness; the most popular of which being Mirage (jokingly suggested by Mirko), Memory (Zahra), Monolith (Squire), and perhaps the only one of the bunch she seems to kinda like, Madonna (independently thought up by both a sarcastic Jaden Vale and a dead serious JAQ/L). She currently resides aboard The Cryok.

Renée James Mallory (née Madison)
Deceased.
First wife of Doc Mallory. Squirrel Rathi. Earthling. Daughter of an electrician in rural Georgia who created a solar energy converter with an absurdly high conversion rate. Used newfound money to journey abroad. Met and fell in love with Marion in Japan in the early '90s. Married him in 1995. A very rocky relationship between two dumb, incomplete people that only got worse when Marion revealed THE Cryok to her. Feared for her life when Doc began turning his frustrations her way and separated from him. Died alongside her father in a car wreck in 1997 before the marriage could be annulled; possibly part of an assassination, possibly a freak accident; possibly while driving home from an out-of-state business meeting, possibly while returning from an abortion clinic. Regardless, Doc suffered a minor stroke while attempting to piece it all together and retired to “a less stressful life” of tailoring in the wake of it. Hundreds of years and many more heartbreaks later, he seems to have finally gotten over it. Doc donates generously to the Madison Foundation For STEM Skill Development and has ensured that the Madison Solar Converter found its way into the hands of Prometheus Labs. It is, after all, the foundation on which The Cryok's Dyson ring technology is based.

Zahra Prometheus Xerfantes
One of the one hundred Xerfantes siblings created by Prometheus Labs. Sister of Zucca and Accuz. Wife of Doc Mallory. Mother of Ma'atthew Mallory. Approximately 220k years old factoring in time dilation. Captain of the worldship Swan Song (mostly built by her siblings) which is predominantly unoccupied save for her family and the dozen garden planets within. Following in her eldest brother's footsteps, acted as an ambassador between worlds for several centuries before making the classic mistake of attempting to peacefully resolve a dispute involving demons. Was maimed almost beyond recognition, losing nearly 80% of her body before being rescued and rebuilt by Accuz. After several millennia of healing, returned to the public sphere as a musician and humanitarian. Maintained a constant psychic glamour of her old self whenever out in public. Met and gradually fell in love with Doc Mallory over the course of several centuries, eventually marrying him in 2022 after bonding in the years following the 2017 Siege of The Cryok. The common misconception that she was a warrior woman once upon a time and is still capable of mopping the floor with everyone is a running gag and a bluff that she finds too useful to dispel. (Her bionic limbs are indeed very, very powerful but she seldom uses them for anything other than lifting loads of loam) Often jokingly called “Galadriel” or “Lady Zaza” by family... except for Mirko, who rather tactfully calls her “The Toaster” but never to her face.

Granddaughter of Mallory Mallory and Edvin Mallory. Artificially created infiltration unit of the Fa'tik Empire. Rescued from one of their cruisers and adopted as an infant by Doc Mallory. Raised by him in Japan in the attempt to give her a “normal life”. Taken to Ireland and handed over to the Mallory family following Doc and Zucca's disappearance in 2012. Joined the Marvelous Mallories under the codename Pinpoint, much to her father's chagrin when he returned. Fa'tik sleeper cell activated on her 20th birthday, leading to the 2017 Siege of The Cryok and all the fallout of such. Murdered dozens including Mallory Mallory while under sleeper programming. Eventually broken free from the programming by her father. Exiled from the Cryok by the CCC and elected to establish herself on another planet instead of returning to Earth.

Isak Kitao
Born 1982.
Jackal-husky hybrid rathi. Unknowing son of Lord Shane Hagan. Business partner and foster son of Doc Mallory. Brother of Rebecca. A part of the orphanage system and former loW-ranking member of Niigata's Oni Green street gang. In 1999 the gang was sent after Doc Mallory by Sid Rockatansky and got effortlessly taken apart. This led to a moment of clarity when Isak realized the life of a mixed-race gangbanger in Japan had no upside to it. Profusely apologizing to Doc and all but swearing fealty to him, Isak was put through the wringer for weeks before Doc eventually relented and began mentoring him in earnest. It wouldn't be until Doc's seeming death in 2012 until he learned that the tailor had in fact legally become his foster father thanks to an experimental social rehabilitation program put forth by the Diet. He'd also inherited Mallory's Tailor Shop, which he managed to keep running with his inheritance money until Doc's reappearance four years later. Confronting Doc on his mysterious dealings, Isak was told that learning the truth about his life wouldn't make him any happier. It sure hadn't for Renée. Isak accepted this non-answer...on the condition their shop be renamed Mallory & Kitao and he get primary ownership of it. Doc relented and accepted these terms, perhaps a little too readily. Isak is well aware that Doc holds many, many secrets...but out of respect and love for him, they've decided to not look any deeper into it. Doc, for his part, is extremely proud of Isak (though he seldom shows it in public) and considers guiding him to be a normal, whole person the one objectively good thing he's done in life. Isak still lives in Niigata, Japan and is the primary owner of Mallory & Kitao now that Doc is mostly retired. He is married to a completely off-screen, eternally unnamed woman whom he has two kids by.

Ma'atthew Isak Mallory
Born Christmas Day, 2025
Son of Zahra Xerfantes and Doc Mallory. Wolf-ferret-fox-human-alien hybrid. Nephew of Zucca Xerfantes. Godson of Accuz Xerfantes. A perfectly normal, healthy baby boy... insofar as the Xerfantes family can be “normal”. Takes after his mother physically. A surprisingly sound sleeper, as most Xerfantes children tend to be. Enjoys chilled teething rings and Bob the Builder reruns. Dislikes butternut squash.

ANCILLARY MEMBERS
LADY
Born (?) 1997.
Chimeric creation of the Fa'tik Empire cobbled together from genetic swabs of the Argonaut Privateers and Doc Mallory. Initial attempts to blend in Zucca's DNA were not viable. Possessing the combined powers of Aries Passadar, Catherine Sonora, Doc Mallory, and the voice of Kristie Sparks, the poor creature known as LADY (acronym unknown) was little more than a guided missile towards the Argo's crew; a poorly constructed, waifishly thin thing falling apart from an overdesigned cellular structure contaminated by Hellfire. A disastrous initial confrontation with the Argo crew in which she was seemingly destroyed heralded the end of the short-lived romance between Doc Mallory and Aries Passadar that rebounded immediately following the death of Renée. Believed to be dead for well over a decade, LADY reappeared in a much healthier (read: pear-shaped) and saner (read: clothed) form in 2017 and sought to have a sit-down talk with her “parents” regarding past misgivings. Unfortunately, she chose her “dad” as the point of entry for this discussion and had the terrible timing of doing so mere months after the death of his mother at the hands of her “sister” and fellow Fa'tik creation. After a very long and tense afternoon, Doc Mallory, grinning very broadly and speaking very slowly, told her she was an affront to God, no child of his, then handed her a chit with the equivalent of ten million dollars on it and told her that if he ever saw or heard from her again, he'd kill her, in broad daylight, in front of thousands of witnesses if need be. Seeing that this was the closest thing to closure she was gonna get, LADY accepted and hopped aboard the next transport out of the quadrant. LADY's current whereabouts and alias are unknown save to the Church of Revenance, who are keeping her in the back pocket just in case.

Thomas O'Hare Jr. / Wild Hare I / Tom O'Bedlam
Born 1990.
Former boyfriend of Mirko Mallory. Rabbit rathi. One of Ireland's first supervillains (the premier and preeminent one, to hear him say it), Thomas O'Hare Jr. has either the best or worst luck possible depending upon how you look at it. A classmate of the Mallory Triplets, at age fifteen he gained the ability to randomly transmute inorganic material at a molecular level by touching it. Plastic into diamonds, gold into bubbles, that kinda thing. This would be extremely useful and make him a billionaire overnight if he had any conscious control over it. However, it seems that the harder he tries to manifest it in useful ways the harder it resists him. He's lucky it's never turned anything into plutonium or liquid magma. What's a guy to do in this situation?
Don a jester suit and rob banks, of course! A frequent foe of the Marvelous Mallories, Wild Hare was best known for getting the absolute snot knocked outta him. Over the course of his career, he's managed to rack up a truly impressive number of scars, including losing half an ear. He was also on the receiving end of one of the scariest beatdowns ever administered by Doc Mallory after accidentally turning his wedding ring into saran wrap. (He fixed it, though it cost him a couple teeth). A consummate theater kid, Thomas and Mirko were friends for many years before and after their subsequent falls into evil, even dating briefly in college, much to the alarm of the entire family. This kept on until he broke up with Mirko after the latter used a robotic version of him to steal millions of pounds worth of equipment for his secret lab, something that Thomas always suspected he was capable of doing but had no way of proving beyond hearsay.
Now retired from supervillainy and rebranded as Tom O'Bedlam, he makes a killing doing insurance commercials in the UK wherein he plays the anthropomorphic personification of chaos.
The Wild Hare gimmick is apparently brilliant bit of branding since no less than eight other supervillains have since adopted the moniker, including a kangaroo (who is ironically the most dangerous of the lot since she can turn anything into an edged weapon by touching it – yes, anything). Tom's attempts to pursue legal action for gimmick infringement have all be fruitless since supervillainy is by its nature an outlawed pastime.
