NON-SPOILER WARNING: During the Fans series, its characters have gone through many changes. This page is only an introduction...

The club's master tactician, orator and idealistic core, Rikk's nevertheless often too idealistic to see all sides of the people for whom he fights.

For Katherine, the Club represents the first time in her life she's had immense personal power. This makes her more morally ambiguous than Rikk, but sometimes gives her perspective he lacks.

An aspiring comics artist and accomplished martial artist. Shy, quiet, and usually slow to anger. Will is far more imposing, but Rumy is the team's true muscle.

Remarkably comfortable in his own skin, Tim Mitts enjoys dreams of entrepreneurial wealth, fantasies of bringing down the man, and annoying people.

Shanna has lived her life in denial, mocking every aspect of fandom, with which she's intimately familiar, as she insists upon her own "normality."

An expert costumer and role-player who prefers other identities to his own, Will has had a checkered romantic past, unlikely to settle down until he masters both his temper and his fear of it.

Alisin took her terminal diagnosis as a license to live for today, and only her relationship with the Club, and with Rikk, has led her to believe there's any more to her life than hedonism.

An abrasive lesbian who often thinks with either her hormones or her checkbook, Meighan doesn't take to the adventuring life as easily as the others, but may need it more.

A pleasant, outgoing Britfan and voice actress with an affected accent, cheery, naive, and flirtatious enough to conceal her insecurities. Usually.

One of Tim's few close friends, Guth is usually an unemotional math geek, though he can be provoked by the prospect of discovery or by his cousin Stu.

Stu gives redneck fans a bad name. A fan of barbarian novels and shoot-'em-up sci-fi, Stu nevertheless seems to be in the Club largely to carry on tormenting his cousin Guth.

Fanboy seems to have fan-worship for the Science Fiction Club itself, provoking discomfort in the other members, who are usually all too aware of their imperfections.

Just old enough to remember the days of First Fandom, and an old-fashioned military man, Harry is an inveterate griper but surprisingly reliable when the chips are down.
