Character Bios
Lyna
Species: Half lion, half human
Weapons: "Silver Claw" gauntlet equipped with grappling
hooks and retactable claws; Sword of Omens
Age: 14
Profile: Lyna is the "hybrid" daughter of Lord Lion-O and Queen
Willa. Her spunk and wit makes her a formidable leader of the new ThunderCats.
Although she has a cool temper, Lyna can quickly, and sometimes fiercely,
snap when someone questions her abilities because of her half-human state,
especially when Thundrainium is involved. Like her father, Lyna is
guided by the wise spirit of Jaga who is often described as a "spiritual
savior". Though Lyna does listen to Jaga, she does occasionaly refuse
to take his advice despite extreme warnings. Her desire to free New
Thundera from Gen-Ta is the only thing that overshadows her obsession to
make him pay for the murder of her parents.
Kara
Species: Caracal
Weapons: Chain whip
Age: 16
Profile: Kara is the strongest of the new ThunderCats.
Her own super strength making her unique, she has made a close friendship
with Lyna during their days at the academy. Proving she's no brute,
Kara is also an expert mechanic and computer wiz from building vehicles
to upgrading systems to creating deadly computer viruses. Her abilities
are nothing compared to her gung-ho protcol. She's a team player
and willing to work with others, but when it comes down to proving her
bravery, she will
immediately rise up to the challenge, even if it means engaging Gen-Ta
one on one.
Cougari
Species: Cougar
Weapons: Boomerang
Age: 15
Profile: The fastest of the new ThunderCats, Cougari proves he's
no slowpoke when it comes to outrunning anything that walks, crawls, flies
or swims. He is often very impatient and goes into a situation
headfirst without thinking of the consequences. At top speed, Cougari
is almost uncatchable for a short amount of time. Reckless and determined
to free New Thundera, he tries his hardest to be a team player, especially
with the patient and fierce Kara. His loyalty to the Code of New
Thundera is almost always very unquestionable.
Tygris
Species: Tiger
Weapons: Crossbow
Age: 17
Profile: A peaceful young cadet, Tygris is always trying to find
a way to resolve a conflict without resporting to violence. Though
timid at heart, he does what he must to help his fellow ThunderCats.
Tygris also has enormous teleknetic potential which he has developed under
the guidance of the ThunderCat psychic Cheetara. With New Thunder
under Gen-Ta's control, Tygris soon learns he must fight to free his world,
but refuses to use his powers unless truly needed. Often relied on
to calm down Lyna when her abilities and authority are questioned, Tygris
does so with little chance of sucess if the facts and terms of Thundrainium
is included in the process or if Lyna has truly set her mind on her decision.
Wily Kit and Wily Kat
Species: Wildcat
Weapons: Lasso; pellets containing various gimics
Age: 38
Profile: Instructors of the ThunderCat Academy, Wily Kit and
her brother Wily Kat are in charge of the training program on Third Earth.
The twins are the original ThunderCats dating back to the days of Lyna's
father. Known for their cunning and trickery, these two strive to teach
these cadets the ropes they'll need to battle Gen-Ta and free New Thundera.
Snarf
Species: Snarf
Age: 85 (Snarf years)
Profile: Snarf was once a nursemaid to Lion-O, Lyna's thunderian
father and has been the same for her. With her parents gone, Snarf
tries his best to help her cope and guides her through the years to come.
Humble and cowardly, Snarf is a valued ally of the ThunderCats.
Snarfer
Species: Snarf
Age: 42 (Snarf years)
Profile: Having escaped from New Thundera with his Uncle Snarf,
Snarfer is a lot like his uncle only with more intellect. On New
Thundera, Snarfer has been friends with Lyna since childhood and has been
able to help her understand how special she really is. Now, Snarfer
is a valued aide in running the systems of Cat's Lair with Kara and is
the only other being with access to her special Genesis Program which she
uses to create her viruses.
Gen-Ta
Species: Cobra
Weapons: Energized staff
Age: Approximately 5,000
Profile: A powerful demon priest of the Ancient Spirits of Evil,
Gen-Ta was imprisoned within his own tomb by fellow demon priest Mumm-Ra
over a thousand years ago. However, after Mumm-Ra's defeat by the
ThunderCats, the ASOE released Gen-Ta to carry out their evil work.
Unlike Mumm-Ra, who draws power from the ASOE, Gen-Ta's power is his own
although he shows extreme devotion to the ASOE since his release plus he
has merged these powers with super advanced technology. Gen-Ta is
a very ruthless warrior as he conquers New Thundera and destroys the ThunderCats,
something his rival could never accomplish. Facing the new ThunderCats,
Gen-Ta plans to make them no more than a mere memory.
Ursor
Speices: Bear
Weapons: Electirc-charged claws; optical laser; EMP rifle
Age: 27
Profile: Ursor is the ruthless leader of a mutant gang on Third
Earth. He is also arrogant, rash and holds a great hatred for all thunderians,
especially ThunderCats. After his defeat by Lyna, Ursor sought help
from Gen-Ta, who equipped him and his three minions--Pterra, Rakuna and
Mammoth--cybernetic enhacements on their bodies. His pride is his
greatest weak point and he will do anything to defend it.
Pterra
Species: Pterodactyl
Weapons: Retractable wings with sharpened edges and mounted lasers;
supersonic screech; plasma pistol
Age: 19
Profile: Ursor's second-in-command of the Cyber-Mutants, Pterra
often proves to be as ruthless as her commander only with less arrogance.
Posed with the same hatred for the ThunderCats, yet with a more cautious
instinct, she wonders if the price she and her fellow comrades paid for
the enhancements is worth their destruction. Wily and resouceful,
this Cyber-Mutant beauty follows orders like second nature and refuses
to let emotions get in the way, most of the time concerning her extreme
crush on
Ursor. Her cautions make her the only one who stands up to Gen-Ta.
Mammoth
Species: Elephant
Weapons: Pair of machine guns which fire Thundrainium pellets;
thunderstone-filled grenades; rocket launchers stored in arms; quantum
bazooka
Age: 32
Profile: One of the biggest berserkers in mutant history, Mammoth
can do major damage on the battle field making him too tough for either
side to handle. He has a fuse as short as his enormus length and
intelligence isn't exactly his strong point. Completely fearless,
his attitude didn't change much after the enhancements. He is also
loyal to Ursor although
he does whatever Gen-Ta tells him to do. His intense loyalty
to the Cyber-Mutants is often tested when Rakuna insults him, especially
about his strength.
Rakuna
Species: Raccoon
Weapons: Photon revolvers; gas bombs; miniature knives; explosive
pellets; data probes inside wrists; finger spikes
Age: 25
Profile: Rakuna is described as the brains of the Cyber-Mutants
as he learns to adapt his enhancements to certain modifications.
His systems are the only ones immune to Kara's viruses and are capable
of hacking into any computer system. Rakuna trusts Gen-Ta about as
far as he can throw him but agrees to play along, for the moment.
Often very treacherous, Rakuna knows that one day Gen-Ta would make the
Cyber-Mutants his slaves. He also understands that Ursor's arrogance
will doom them all. He rarely gets along with Mammoth and he
vainly tries to persuade Pterra to get over her "pathetic crush".
When Mammoth and Rakuna team up, the two are practically invincible, if
they could stop arguing for one second.
