Something a little different to previous games here, but something that's worked well on a few other fora I've participated in.
The concept's simple enough: work our way through the alphabet, naming characters / places / weapons / concepts etc. within the Flipside Universe. I'll kick off with A, the next poster finds something starting with B, the following poster C etc. If we manage to get to Z, we'll wrap around - at which point, if I remember, I'll put a summary of the answers to date at the bottom of this post so we don't repeat ourselves.
Obviously, some letters will be harder than others, so if a reasonable period of time (about a day?) transpires without anyone posting the next letter and you can't think of a word starting with it, you can cheat - either by using a word where it's the second letter (e.g. eXperiment) or skipping it.
So to get you started:
A is for Ashley (Former Assassin, Rogue Warrior according to her Bio page. Book 0 character?)
-
B is for Bernadette
This is book 0 if you want to read it.

Yes, I'm aware of Book 0 and will get around to reading it sometime - but since Book 1 (to date) consumed every evening for a week plus most of the weekend (38 chapters --> 3 double size, 35 standard size = 41 chapter equivalents = 1,230 strips. Add 171 intermission strips = 1,401 strips), I'll hold off for the time being :)
C is for Crest, who started off as a fairly main character, got Demoted To Extra (which got Lampshaded in one intermission), but is starting to re-emerge again (once we've got back to events in Eschelon - probably in two chapters time, after finishing Bern's intro to the Colosseum and catching up on May's encounter with The Thin Man).
(And no, I'm not linking to TV Tropes - you're all more than capable of getting yourselves lost there without me making it even easier!)
-
D is for Dirk (Umbers Husband)
-
E is for Eschelon, where Crest's currently attempting to deal with a supercharged Suspira...
-
F is for Fata Morgana, A sorceress who creates illusions and is currently traveling with Moss.
-
I thought I'd wait and give a chance for others to jump in, but what the heck, maybe if us two keep playing, it will eventually tempt others over to the Hall of Games :)
G is for Glyph, who drove our intrepid quartet (Bern, May, Crest, Suspira) from Brahma to Eschelon.
-
At the very least we can end up with a decent list of people, places, and etc for reference.
H is for Hellmouth, a poker player in Solstice who tried to cut Crest's eyes out for cheating.
-
I is for the various occasions when characters have broken through the Fourth Wall and agreed to give interviews (http://flipside.keenspot.com//interviews.html) with their audience...
-
J is for Jester, Maytags current profession.
-
K is for Kings - while we haven't met any yet, and while Iscariot isn't a monarchy (it's a kind of oligarchy), May implies that monarchies do exist elsewhere in the Flipsideverse.
-
L is for Lucient, ex-boyfriend of Regina, who could sometimes be a jerk.
-
Hmm...
...M...
...a tricky one...
...now let's see...
...what could there possibly be in the Flipsideverse starting with that letter? :D
M - Maytag.
-
Way to go with an easy... *looks at my first post in this topic*.... never mind.
N is for Noventia, A sorceress who was whipping her hair back and forth before Suspiria made it cool.
-
O is for Orransong - presumably part of the Book 0 adventures, described on TV Tropes merely as an ally/friend who's Easily Forgiven and a Heteronormative Crusader.
-
This looks like fun.
P is for Polly, Bernadette's old friend

Q is for Quest, something the main characters occasionally take on.
