[edit] Planet Rock
[edit] Graveheart
At the beginning of the series, Graveheart is a simple miner working for Lord Mantel. However, when discovering Tekla and being ambushed by Beast Drones on Planet Ice during routine exporting, Graveheart realizes he must step into the leader seat and bring the worlds together to stop a common enemy. He is a very noble, brave man, though he often suffers from lack of self-confidence, deeming himself as "just a miner and nothing more." When put into battle, he immediately takes charge and commands his orders gracefully. Those around him respect him to the fullest. Formerly a quarrior, he quit Planet Rock's military when he failed to save his younger brother, Mica, during a raid on Planet Fire. He often has his doubts about himself, but Jade is always there to reassure him of his abilities. Graveheart was exiled from Planet Rock when he formed the Alliance, leaving himself and Jade as the only two citizens of Rock in the group. He is voiced by Paul Dobson.
[edit] Jade
Tough and uncompromising, Jade is Captain of the Guard of Planet Rock and Graveheart's best friend. She loves Graveheart quite much, though she is unwilling to admit it. While working with the Alliance, her loyalties lie with Planet Rock first and foremost. Lord Mantel was very reluctant to exile Jade as she had asked, but agreed to it for her to be able to watch over the Alliance. Jade rarely shows her feelings, but what she has shown is a great dislike for Emperor Femur. After Lord Mantel's death at Blokk's hands, Jade underwent a psychological test and became ruler of Planet Rock. She is voiced by Enuka Okuma.
[edit] Lord Mantel
The ruler of Planet Rock, a harsh and merciless man. He is unwavering in his beliefs that Planet Rock is superior to all other planets. This forces him to refuse Rock's participation in the Alliance. He is stubborn and arrogant, but quite well-liked on the planet. He is eventually killed by Blokk after the Beast Planet invades his planet. He is voiced by Blu Mankuma.
[edit] Commander Feldspar
The commander of Planet Rock's military and guardian to the entrance of Lord Mantel's fortress. He commands Planet Rock's Battle-Moons, he also takes over Jade's duties after she is exiled. He doesn't believe in or trust the Alliance. After the Beast Planet's invasion, he is brutally killed by Blokk. He is voiced by Alec Willows.
[edit] Planet Ice
[edit] King Cryos
The wise and admirable king of Planet Ice, Cryos is admired by all of his people for his intelligence. Although he seems quiet at a glance, he is very thoughtful and the brains behind the Alliance. He is also one of the founding members, as he is one of the first to realize the threat that the Beast Planet is able to cause. He truly believes that peace between all of the worlds can be established, but that everyone must work hard for it. Because of their similar beliefs, Cryos and Graveheart become very close friends throughout the series. Cryos is also constantly worrying over his daughter, Zera's, safety. Regardless, he's a very capable tactician and a valuable asset to the Alliance. He is voiced by Mark Oliver.
[edit] Lady Zera
The curious and childish daughter of King Cryos, Lady Zera is a dreamer and wishes she could go on adventures like her father. Oftentimes, she'll stow away on her father's vehicles, but he always finds her. She can act quite arrogant at times, but she is actually quite caring and sweet. Jade eventually teaches her how to battle so she can be safe while her father is on Alliance missions. She also builds a very close friendship with the prince of Planet Fire, Pyrus. She is voiced by Tegan Moss.
[edit] Planet Fire
[edit] Prince Pyrus
The young and naive prince of Planet Fire, Pyrus had to enter into royalty at a very young age. His father died when he was quite little, and ever since then, Pyrus was raised by the Vizier. He is a very kind, compassionate individual, but he can revert to a childish mood when set off. He's very quick-tempered, and tends to do things without thinking them through. Regardless, he is always putting the people of his planet first, which makes for a great leader. When first approached about the Alliance, Pyrus enthusiastically joined, and was quick to realize the threat of the Beast Planet. Pyrus gets along very well with mostly everyone from the Alliance, particularly Zera and Femur. He is voiced by Matt Hill.
[edit] The Grand Vizier
Prince Pyrus' royal counselor and surrogate father, the Vizier is a rough, untrusting old man. He is a firm believer in old tradition and the way things were in the past, and is very protective of his prince. He eventually sacrifices his life in hopes of destroying the Beast Planet, but before he dies, he witnesses Graveheart save Pyrus' life, and realizes the Alliance will give Pyrus a new home. He is voiced by Jim Byrnes.
[edit] Planet Bone
[edit] Emperor Femur
The Emperor of Planet Bone, Femur is a short, fat, obnoxious creature who is constantly scheming of new ways to benefit himself. He is a very crafty, vile man with self-gratification as the first and only thing on his mind. Despite being self-indulgent, Femur cares for his planet and does indeed think of the citizens of Bone. Not a fighter by any means, Femur instead chooses to hide in the midst of battle. He is also very flirtatious with the ladies, particularly Jade, much to her disdain. He is voiced by Gary Chalk.
[edit] Pelvus
Femur's royal servant, the flamboyant Pelvus is just as vile as his emperor. He is always plotting Femur's demise, and Femur knows it. Quite incompetent, Pelvus is also a coward, something he and Femur have in common. However, Pelvus keeps a wide array of weaponry on him at all times. He gets along very well with the girls of the Alliance, possibly due to his sexual orientation. He is voiced by Scott McNeil.
[edit] Sternum
Femur's brother and former emperor of Bone who was exiled to the Prison Planet after one of Femur's plots to get rid of him. He became quite a hero on the Prison Planet, leading a group of escaped prisoners. When he returns to Planet Bone, he becomes Femur's Captain of the Guard. He is voiced by John Payne.
[edit] Planet Tek
[edit] Tekla
The sole survivor and princess of Planet Tek, she was found by Graveheart and Cryos, who vowed to help her in any way they could. After slipping into a coma, she was possessed by Lamprey, who used her body to try and destroy the Alliance. Regaining herself, Tekla became a valuable member of the Alliance thanks to her broad knowledge. Though she is not a very powerful fighter, she can hold her own in battle. She is voiced by Donna Yamamoto.
[edit] Voxx
Tekla's mechanical sphere that floats around her and fills her in on the surroundings and any other information she may need to know. It is always at her side, and learns anything it can possible in the process.
[edit] The Beast Planet
[edit] Blokk
One of the Beast Generals sent to conquer any planets they could get their hands on, Blokk was a firm believer in the brute force method. He gets carried away quite easily, and is definitely not as intelligent as Lamprey. If he had it his way, he would launch an all-out assault on the Alliance and wipe them out with his Beast Drones. After their failure in the first season, Blokk and Lamprey returned to the Beast Planet and were tortured and beaten. However, at the end of the series, he accomplishes killing Lord Mantel and several inhabitants of Planet Rock, but meets his end at Graveheart's hands. He is voiced by Scott McNeil.
[edit] Lamprey
One of the Beast Generals sent to conquer any planets they could get their hands on, Lamprey had methods of manipulation and creating inner turmoil amongst the Alliance. She is much more level-headed than Blokk, but often bickers with him. Her main plan forced her to possess Tekla and turn the Alliance members against each other. The plan failed, but Lamprey continued to taunt the group, until their final failure which sent them back to the Beast Planet. Though Blokk was killed at the end of the series, Lamprey escaped and presumably returned to the Beast Planet. She is voiced by Tasha Simms.
[edit] Voyd
One of the Beast Generals sent to conquer any planets they could get their hands on, Voyd was the voice of reason. He was higher ranking than both Blokk and Lamprey, and thus got to choose which plan they would carry out. Additionally, he is able to act as an interdimensional transport, teleporting Blokk and Lamprey to safety when able to. He is a mysterious being that never speaks, and appears primarily in the first season. He later appears on a monitor within Blokk's fighter during the second season.
[edit] Other Characters
[edit] Zuma
A peaceful inhabitant of Planet Sand, Zuma is naive and unfamiliar to the other worlds. She knows only what she learned, and has very powerful telepathic abilities. She joins the Alliance as representative of her planet. She is voiced by Ellen Kennedy.
[edit] Jewelia
Like Sternum, Jewelia is a leader of the escaped prisoners of the Prison Planet. She is manipulative, yet charming, and is very accustomed to getting her way. She becomes a thorn in the Alliance's side. However, unlike Sternum and most of the other inhabitants of the Prison Planet, she doesn't want to leave; she wants to take over the planet and rule it. She is voiced by Janyse Jaud.
