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 at him and he will simply 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.
Homeworld: Junk World (2025)
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?
Homeworld: Junk World (2025)
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!
Homeworld: Junk World (2025)
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!
Homeworld: Claim! The Search for the Golden Nugget (2015)
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.
Homeworld: System Gate (2020)
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.
Homeworld: Necromansters (2024)
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 fists 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 Average Joe
“This death game has less OSHA violations than my office!”
*Laugh track
The Average Joe comes from a planet where everyone is a comic strip sitcom dad. Yes. EVERYONE.
Homeworld: Junk World (2025)
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 are 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.
Homeworld: Speedrobo Games (2013)
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!!!”
Homeworld: Card Battle Spirit Link (2018)
The Super Star
In the lawn of the Kisaragi household on planet earth, Hikaru’s family gathers to with him luck.
Hino: “You’re really taking them up on their offer huh?”
Hikaru kneels in the yard, tightening his boots: “Yup! You know me, I can’t turn down a challenge. Especially since these guys came all the way here for an exhibition match with us. Besides, Nord had a good time right?”
Hino: “Sure, but he’s a Unit. You’re just a human.”
Hikaru stand up and winks: “Toughest human on the planet, remember?”
Hino rolls his eyes.
Mrs. Kisaragi: “Have a fun time dear. Do your best without Nebula.”
Hikaru grabs his overnight bag and pats his little sister on head: “Sure thing, Mom.” Glancing up, Hikaru can see the Zworglob saucer waiting for him. “That’s my ride!”
Homeworld: System Gate (2020)
The Daredevil
One could say Road Rash has always had a hard time of it. One could say it’s due to his own recklessness. Regardless, that drive to win in all races at all cost is exactly what made the Junk World show producers hire the Zworglob society of Necromancy to resurrect this Daredevil for one more ride. This time on the biggest stage of his un-life.
Homeworld: Necromansters (2024)
The Rebel
“The Rebel” is an infamous troublemaker who’s always in the bad graces of the student council at the Elder Territories Academy of Magic. Ruehliea might not look like it, but she’s a talented Warlock capable or utilizing the Mana Eating Uniform, Suede. Just don’t tell the Junk World referees that her clothes are actually a magical weapon. She’s able to shift back and forth between different powerful combat forms with Suede’s help. Will this dino gangster sharpen her claws on the other Contestants, or will she get taken back to school?
Homeworld: Card Battle Spirit Link (2018)
The Fuel
This washed up interstellar celebrity WAS a household name… 30 years ago. So now he’s taking part in game shows just to make ends meet. Getting on Junk World is a pretty big gig for him though. Maybe with a win he can get all the kids saying “Mac-On-Dis” one more time?
Homeworld: Junk World (2025)
The Politician
Getting abducted by aliens has changed nothing for Gov. Johnathan Smith. Never once in his entire life has he backed down from a fight. Not on the campaign trail, not in office, and certainly not on this deadly but comedically wacky game show. This Texas native did luck out a bit though. The Zworglob’s are all hard core capitalists and Johnathan’s main weapon is money. So get ready to wrastle or be paid to piss off.
Homeworld: Executive Power (2013)
The Bonez
The Bonez is known as the galaxy’s #1 collector of all things interesting, rare, and unique. So he was quite pleased to find the other contestants on Junk World come from various exciting worlds from around the known galaxy. Everyone else on set best watch their back, otherwise the Bonez will snap them up, tuck them away into a binder, and leave them in the Crypt never to be heard from again. At least until it’s time for another pack opening video.
The Onmyoji
Mizukagami Haruaki is undeniably the most powerful Yin-Yang Sorcerer of her homeland. In addition, she’s a genius astrologer and was able to predict the coming of Junk World’s recruitment saucer. She’s at peace with her temporary role as a contestant and is ready to wash away the evil Raianna with her unrivaled water magic.
Homeworld: Dragon Shogun (2026)
The Alien
Escaped Alien is here to crack packs, probe ass and… it looks like he’s out of both for the time being! Oh well, I guess he will just have to switch to human hands and play a round of Junk World with you instead. He and Bolt go way back, so he got invited onto the set of Junk World to be the celebrity guest for this episode!
The Ranger
Kit’s passion for coffee and planning really paid off for her by getting an internship on the Zwroglob homeworld. She’s been working with the Entertainment Commission by planning broadcast schedules for the Junk World show and, of course, grabbing coffee for all those late night meetings. Kit’s been working so hard, that her bosses rewarded her with a spot in an episode as a contestant! Now Kit and her favorite Super Battle Mon can put their skills to the test against some of the best battlers in the known galaxy! What could be better than that?
The Sprite
The Sprite actually became a contestant on accident. While a Zworglob recruitment saucer was flying over a volcanic planet, one of these little guys hopped aboard to defend its territory. The producers of the show decided that this counted as this Fire Sprite volunteering to be filmed on their game show. This Fire Sprite has actually ended up being a viewer favorite contestant on the show due to its tendency and natural desire to pull as many pranks as possible!
The Menace
This goose is loose and it is a MENACE! When a “recruitment” saucer was sent to the Su-Duck-Ku planet, who could have guessed that such a formidable fighter would have been picked up? This belligerent bird seeks to obstruct all things duck and/or numerical. Honestly, Bolt and Volt can’t wait for this thing’s episode to be over. That way they can send it home and get it out of their hair.
The Cat
This random and mischievous digital feline had snuck his way into the computers of the Zworglob Entertainment Commission and started causing problems. So, as punishment, Cody was sentenced to an entire season as a Junk World contestant! OH NO! Can the avatar of RAM download some new ways to win?
The Emo
Eugene Winters has never led a particularly lucky life, and that extends to his being chosen as a Junk World contestant. The Zworglob entertainment commission picked him out of the crowd because they thought he looked kinda funny while not realizing that he wields the power of a Visionary. Eugene is more than ready to show the galaxy the power of the Monochrome colorway. This monochrome muse will be disarming the competition. Eugene’s skills are nothing to laugh at.
The King
The King can hear that sound of invaders directly outside his walls. “It’s time” he says to himself. The King sits regally on this throne, waiting for the invading army to break through. However, in the next moment, the King is surrounded by a beam of light and pulled away from his throne room as if by magic. Now this once noble ruler is forced to play in a tacky intergalactic game show. He’s quite cross about it.
The Legend
Erik den Rode is a Viking Berserker from our very world’s history. He’s been brought into Junk World by an accident involving Dr. Madino’s time tech. Erik’s on board with this. He’s VERY sure that his new environment is just Valhalla. Although he is surprised to see that the “gods” are cute little metal men. Oh well, as long as very day is filled with exciting new fights, Erik doesn’t mind.
Homeworld: Warriors of Legend(2023)
The Pirate
Argelia, the Sea Queen of the Cayne Pirates is a name that is feared and revered on the seas of her homeworld, and soon the whole galaxy will respect it just as much. The other contestants best not mistake Argelia’s carefree charm as her being inattentive. One wrong move when fighting this master of the seas will get you swallowed by a kraken! As much fun as Argelia is having on the Junk World show, she does hope to wrap this contest up in a single episode. Who knows what trouble the rest of the Three Aces on her crew have gotten up to in her absence! (Maybe you’ll find out if you go play some Primal TCG 😉 )
The Librarian
“Why hello there! Who am I? My name is Caleb and I look after the tomes within the Labyrinthian Library. Well, usually that is. Right now I’m participating in a rather unusual game featuring people and places from all over the universes. Some say I “know too much” but the demon that lives in my head doesn’t seem to mind. Well, I’m off to read the rest of these character bios. I’ll see you next time you choose to play as myself and Readvorn in Junk World and/or Genesis: Battle of Champions.”
The Participant
This ordinary guy makes a living working at his ordinary bakery in his ordinary universe. On a roll of the dice, he happened to be the one “borrowed” from his home world to take part in Junk World. To much the surprise of the show runners, The Participant sure seems to be used to insane interplanetary tournaments. Maybe The Participant won’t be so out of his league after all.
The Blademaster
Argog the Blademaster was honored and feared on his homeworld. His talent with the blade was unmatched, his genius with healing magics made him a prodigy. The Allure of Argog’s Legacy traveled not only through the Second Millennium, but to the far reaches of space as well. Once the Zworglob heard of this once in a trillion talent, they HAD to “scout” him for Junk World. (If you know what we mean. (Abduction. We mean abduction))
Homeworld: Legacy’s Allure(2022)
The Elf
Lyrana Springsooth is a master scout and a world renowned anthropologist known for her literary works. While she was initially scooped up by a Zwroglob recruitment saucer to become a Junk World contestant against her will, Lyrana has since decided to use her time on Junk World to study cultures from around the galaxy. After beating her opponents on the show, Lyrana will immediately start asking them questions about their homeworlds.
The Bunny
Brynn is part of an elite Alpha Squad strike force. Right now, Brynn’s taking a vacation by playing around on the Junk World show! With her penchant for damage and mayhem, she’s loving it! The rest of Brynn’s team is more than happy to get her out of their hair for the time being. They’re on a task that requires a little more finesse than this wild Leporin normally employs. Let’s hope the other contestants on Junk World can find some carrot cake to get on Brynn’s good side!
The Sloth
“Now pay attention. Up there? See ’em in the trees? That’s an adult Fulgatus. Crikey, he’s a big feller. Mean too. Going to store all that lighting inside it’s crystals and then use it to toy it’s prey. We don’t want to get noticed now, these Fulgatus can be a mean sons of slimes. Very territorial they are.”
There’s a long pause as the host just stares at the giant electrified Sloth.
“Imma wrastle ’em and get him on Junk World.”
-Transcript from the final episode of the Zwroglob TV show “Critter Hunter”

The Flush
Good lord, who picked this freak up in a recruitment saucer? What planet is this thing even from? WHY is this thing a THING???
What, there’s just a planet out there with sentient toilet monsters running around like its normal?
No. No. No, don’t answer that. I changed my mind, I don’t want to know.
Goodness, I can’t wait until filming on this episode wraps and we can just launch this monstrosity out of a freaking air lock. IT SMELLS SO BAD!!!
Homeworld: Junk World (2025)
The Cow
The Milk Herald has come to Junk World, not to battle for glory, but just to spread the love of milk to the whole galaxy! This happy-go-lucky friend of all will give you a nutrient filled glass of goodness the moment he sees you. Milk is for all! Perhaps you would like to join Gemlandia and try some of the Milk Herald’s beverage for yourself?
Homeworld: Gem Blenders (2019)
The DJ
DJ Duck is the owner and host of the most popular radio show in the galaxy! Everyone knows his name and voice. DJ Duck is joining in Junk World as a favor to Bolt to help promote the game show and boost its ratings. The two of them go back as far as it gets. You won’t find a pair of faster friends in the whole universe. Bolt is just happy to have his best friend join in, but don’t tell Volt.

The Magical Girl
One day, during interdimensional travel class at Morning Star Academy, Tsubasa Koga went a little TOO far. She’s now ended up in the Junk World dimension. OOPS! The good news is that the Zworglob will help her get home. The bad news is that this favor isn’t free. Tsubasa has to guest star on an episode of Junk World first! Will “Passion Wing’s” magical dueling skills come in handy when on the air?
“Oh~ being on TV is Miss Miwa’s thing. Not me!”
