Ethan McManus, AKA Analog
Owner of GameHaven/Super Hero
Ethan is a passionate gamer whose enthusiasm often exceeds his common sense. He is the majority owner of GameHaven, a small games retailer in Omnitropolis, which he runs with Lucas.
The store property was left to Ethan when his parents moved away from the city, following the death of his sister, Carlie. Shortly after renovating and reopening the store as GameHaven, Ethan and Lucas were involved in a freak series of events that granted them both super powers.
Ethan now respawns after death, returning to his last completely healthy state of being. The true nature of his powers, along with any limitations, remains a mystery.

Lilah Monroe
Reporter
Lilah Monroe is a reporter for the Omnitropolis News Network (ONN). While she began with the organization as a video-game reporter and reviewer, her desire was to be promoted to the super hero beat, covering the city’s many super-power related activities.
With the appearance of Analog and D-Pad in the city, Lilah recognized her opportunity to cross over, using their video-game theme as justification to get her foot in the door. Lilah has since developed a relationship with the super hero duo, feeding them information she may discover in exchange for exclusive interviews and stories. Though she still has to fight her co-worker Jackson for the best assignments, Lilah has established herself as one of ONN’s super-hero reporting team.
Analog has developed a crush on Lilah, but she has made it clear that she has to remain focused on her job, and cannot risk mixing business and personal relationships.
