The planet “Junk World” itself started out as a simple landfill planet. Part of the Territory of the Zworglob alien race, there was nothing special about this little world.
However, the Zworglob people are always looking for ways to maximize their profits and provide new entertainment to their citizens and customers around the galaxy.
Therefore it was the concept of the Entertainment Commissioner of Planet Zworglob to create a game show called “Junk World!”
In this show, contestants both willing and “forcefully extracted from their home worlds” battle it out using the garbage found around the planet’s surface. In this battle royale, it comes down to the last one standing. The winners achieve fame, fortune, and glory. The losers? Well, they will be seen again. Maybe. In reruns.
The Tube
The Tube is an outlier for his race. Most WavarianTubians from the Planet Parkinlotte are a passive folk. That is not the case for The Tube. He’s been looking for a fight since the day he could wave and he found it on Junk World. While most folks that are scooped up for the show tend to have some complaints, The Tube is rather fond of his new gladiator life. Throw a punch and him and he will simple weave out of the way, then strike back with a whip like right hook! He’s wacky, he’s wavy, he’s THE TUBE.

The Mosaic
Okay, so I’m going to cut it to you real. I have NO IDEA where this… thing… came from. I’m just as freaked out about it as you. It says that it’s from a universe with three dimensions. At least I THINK that’s what it’s trying to tell me. Every time I try to listen to it for more than a few minutes my nose starts bleeding. We didn’t pick this guy up for Junk World. He just SHOWED UP and started playing. I’m too scared to tell him that he can’t be a contestant. Okay? Okay.

The Agent
The Agent is from a world populated by a wide range of anthropomorphic critters. Cute little guys that seem to REALLY like organized crime for some reason. Go figure. Anyway, this naked mole rat was supposed to go into retirement after training his successor, but we “asked” him to be in Junk World instead. Lucky him! The other contestants better watch out. The Agent is a master of weapons, martial arts, and espionage.

The Slip
The Slip is from the Zworglob homeworld, actually. He’s just a down on his luck guy that decided to try his shot on the most popular game show in the galaxy. Despite having a hard time gripping any weapons, he’s doing pretty good for himself. Most folks don’t want to go near him, look at him, touch him, fight him, talk to him, think about him, date him, take him out to the movies, go for long walks on the beach…
What was I saying?

The Bombshell
She calls herself the biggest fan of Junk World, but really she’s just here for Bolt and Volt. She’s been watching Junk World on TV and laughing along with Bolt and Volt since she was young. The Bombshell spent many nights on top of a hill wearing Junk World merch trying to flag down a Zworglob “recruitment” saucer. Much to her joy, she was eventually “recruited” for the show!

The Prospector
From one spot of trouble to another, the Prospector goes. He just finished fighting off bandits, swindlers, and hustlers who were after his mine and his golden nugget. Yet, the Prospector’s misfortunes have just begun as he was selected as a contestant for Junk World! As a sliver lining (or gold lining in this case), the Prospector’s precious Golden Nugget was dropped off into the landfill. Somewhere. Better get digging for it!

The Dragon
The inhabitants from the Sol System are an exception to the standard recruitment policy of “abduct first, ask questions later” for Junk World. The Dragon and his earthling friend were instrumental in beating back the Alpha Centauri Empire. Let’s be real, anything that can take down those monsters? Yeah, don’t want to make him mad. However, the Dragon agreed to join the game show to help him train and master his new powers.

The Duo
The Duo is a fan favorite tag-team for the viewers of Junk World. Ratings shoot up every time these two are in an episode. No contestant is as skilled at stitching together creative weapons and powerful mods. Not to mention, having the brawn to wield even the biggest wackiest creations. These two also seem to have the habit of making weapons out of previously erm… animated… contestants. Kind of gross, but whatever gets the crowd going.

The Brawler
The Brawler usually fights with a sword, but bringing your own weapons on set is strictly prohibited. You’ve got to use what you find on Junk World! It’s only fair. Regardless, the Brawler is no stranger to using his fits to solve arguments. So with or without a sword, he’s a force to be reckoned with. Watch out or you might just get burned! Fun fact, the Brawler is the favorite Contestant of Volt. Let’s just hope Volt doesn’t let that bias show while commentating!

The Cowboy
Based on appearances, one might think that the Cowboy is a man of the law. An upholder of peace and order. No. No, not at all. This blue demon would much rather walk onto an episode of Junk World and just start “blastin'”. Everyone else on the show, contestants and staff alike, best watch out for shots from this gunslinger.
Homeworld: System Gate (2020)
Bolt and Volt
These two adorable(?) robots aren’t just the commentators and announcers for Junk World, they have also known to get into the mix from time to time. Bolt’s upbeat personality, never say die attitude, and penchant for chaos have carried him far! Volt on the other hand is shrewd, cautious, and pragmatic; only taking part in fights he knows he can win.

The Dynamo
*At the card shop “Other World Gaming” in Indianapolis, IN. Three friends sit at a card table getting ready to play “Junk World”.
Gen: “So how did Raianna manage to get into this game, anyway?”
Josh: “Yeah, I was pretty confused when my link, Rosellia, told me Raianna went to another planet.”
Kaya: “Well, apparently, it was just the perfect storm. The council of magic wanted Spirit Link to get some more eyes on it.”
Gen: “Make sense, gotta keep people playing the game to keep the spell going.”
Kaya: “Exactly. Then Raianna was on board volunteering for a game show to stretch her wings a bit. I was okay with it since it’s just a game. How much damage can she really do?”
Josh: “Cool! Well, how do we play?” He asks while shuffling the deck.
Meanwhile, on Junk World. Raianna is cackling and crackling with power while floating above a puddle of molten slag that used to be a towering trash pile.
Volt: “This uh… this Contestant may have been a mistake. She seems a little… intense.”
Bolt: “What are you talking about? THIS. IS. AWESOME!!!”
