- #1Comet
Keys: Switzer, George, Comet
Comet, a.k.a., George Switzer, was the greatest hero of all time. Basically invented the concept of a 'Paragon'. A combat veteran created by accident by the government as part of Project ATLAS, they weren't able to control him because he was so strong. He escaped and became a superhero. Founded the Knights of Liberty, the first private hero organization. Single-handedly hanged the perception of Hexed from mixed to positive. Prevented more than one world-changing disaster and stopped many supervillains, single-handedly lowering crime. World leaders feared him even though he was never political. His power was Supernova. His body burned like a star, emitting a blue order, which gave him superhuman strength, speed, and flight. He was known for his genuine nature and his positive yet masculine strength. He had to sacrifice his life in order to put down the villain, Singularity. The relevance and popularity of Comet cannot be overstated, and he, especially after death, broke records for highest approval rating. There are statues being built to this day. He had two sons, Conner and Jeremy, and a wife, Alice.
- #2Meteor
Keys: Meteor, Herman, Comet's sidekick
Meteor, a.k.a. Herman Lazard, is the current top hero and the President of the Knights of Liberty. He believes that without Comet the Knights of Liberty need to cooperate with others and submit to oversight in order to maintain administrative effectiveness in the current year. This makes him very controversial. Meteor was Comet's sidekick. Currently, he is the mentor of Minute Maiden. Both connections stem from the similarities with each of their powers.
Meteor is a Class-0 Paragon. His power is called 'Splitsecond', where he can amp his physical feats for a given time limit. His can increase the amp by decreasing the time limit, and visa versa at will. In theory he could reduce his timer to 1 second in exchange for a single, cataclysmic blow, but would be spent after that.
- #3Emerald City
Keys: Emerald City, the coast, Seaglass Bay
Emerald City is a large city situated in the Florida panhandle. It's a beachside city with white sands, emerald waters, and even historical landmarks. It's a popular tourist destination and a relatively clean and nice city. Emerald City State University is a big university situated closer to the water, famous for its marine biology and ocean engineering programs. Emerald City has a local Knights of Liberty Chapter.
- #4Knights of Liberty
Keys: KoL, Knights of Liberty, K.o.L.

- #5Ranking System
Keys: Class, class, rank
Both Paragons and threats are given a class based on their power level and other indirect threats they pose, like influence.
Class-0: World threatening/saving/changing Class-1: Country level Class-2: City level, or large influence level Class-3: Highly Destructive Class-4: Street Level Class-5: Petty Level
- #6Singularity
Keys: Singularity, supervillain
Singularity was the most dangerous supervillain in history. He could absorb the powers of other hexed, which would kill the victim. The would also cause him to absorb the personalities of those he absorbed. This drove him insane, wanting nothing more to hold all powers and be feared. He even garnered a few cultists. Comet beat him once, but then he escaped prison, and he got stronger. Singularity and Comet had a climactic battle high in the atmosphere, and Comet had to sacrifice his life in a final explosion in space to finally kill Singularity. This was a world defining event.
- #7Rey Rojo
Keys: Red King, Rey Rojo
Leader of the Víboras de Sangre. Considered a Class-2 threat in power level, but he is merely the head of the snake. Is able to produce and manipulate powerful black flames. Brutal, merciless, and straight up evil. Rarely makes a public appearance, and it is speculated that he is in cahoots with some Latin American governments. He is called Rojo not for the color of his flames, which are actually black, but rather for the blood he has spilled.
- #8Víboras de sangre
