Mark Ramiro
The youngest member of the Ramiro family. He’s just started kindergarten and peewee soccer. He likes Chocolate syrup on everything.

Gail Ramiro
The oldest sibling of the Ramiro family. She’s in second grade, but is doing so well in school she may get to skip a year. Her favorite thing is super sour candy the kind that turn your mouth into a fishy face.

Leon Ramiro
Father to the Ramiro family. Leon is a famous novelist. He’s written five best selling novels and the first one has been turned into a tv series “Against the Tide”. The novels are a fantasy series focusing on Queen Serena as she tries to protect her people from the many foes that would harm them. In order, the books are “To Stand Against the Tide”, “To Stand Alone”, “To Stand Between Foes”, “The long dark wander”, and “To Stand on High”. Dad makes up the best bed time stories.

Elisabeth “Liza” Lang-Ramiro aka Paragon
Mom to the the Ramiro family, Liza used to be the super hero Paragon with super strength, flight, and invulnerability. As the Paragon she was very famous, and beloved by many. She still has those powers, but she retired nine years ago to raise her family. Occasionally she’s called on to help out her home town of Columbus, Ohio, or the country, or even the world, but mostly she leaves those problems to other heroes because her family needs her too. She’s never worn a mask, and has no secret identity, and she’s used her popularity to champion causes that need standing up for. Mom has the funniest bed time stories, especially when she tells true ones from her super hero days. Liza is Leon’s biggest fan, and Leon has come to accept that his wife is more famous then he is.

Gwenifer Two Tales (Jenny Jones)
Liza’s best friend from childhood. Gwen is an artist and loves to talk and tell stories. She was nick named two tales because she would always tell two or more stories when asked a question when one story, or even a short answer would do. Gwen officially changed her name to Two Tales as her artists name. She also named herself Gwenifer because Jenny never sounded mysterious enough for her. She often baby sits for Mark and Gail, though not to often, because they never go to bed on time because Aunt Gwen never stops talking when telling bed time stories.

Paragon
Liza is not the first Paragon. The power of the Paragon has been passed on several times, passed on by secret means that only the Paragon knows, and only passed on when the old Paragon dies. Liza is the first woman to have the power. The first Paragon was the founder of the American Defense Force and the third founded the United Nations Defense Force. People gifted with super powers are a part of everyday life, and most lead normal lives (although in extraordinary ways). Actual super heroes are very rare. All official super heroes are actually special officers of the police or military. Though there are a few people who use their powers in selfish or mean ways, most people with powers are just like you and me, good people to know.
