Quinto O'Brien was a child prodigy at gymnastics, and from one of the richest families at her elitist school on the planet Zyxn.
Her classmates often envied and resented her.
She heard the other children talking about her behind her back, saying that she was just a rich pretty girl with no real brains. She was determined to prove them wrong!
Quinto's parents couldn't stop praising her for her accomplishments. Her sister, Janice, began to feel unappreciated.
In an act of rebellion, she ran off to hang out with the "bad" kids, not realizing that they were in the presence of a dark mystic.
When the "Evil One" reveals his true form, Janice becomes possessed.
With nowhere else to turn, Quinto seeks out the help of the high priestess Trinitaria.
Trinitaria performs an exorcism, and begins teaching Quinto how to protect her sister through spells and charms.
Quinto's eyes are opened to a whole new world of magic!
And she is eager to learn.
The Zyxnian council learns that Quinto has been studying the forbidden arts of sorcery. She is banished from her community.
But it's not so bad. Quinto and Janice travel to the city of Silvercap to start a new life.
Quinto still needs a real job. Fortunately, the circus is hiring!
Time passes, and Quinto becomes quite the success.
But she never neglected her magic and fighting training.
Or her spaceship piloting skills.
The O'Brien sisters are able to afford a nice house. But wait, who is this person moving in next door?
When Fiver Clubb was little, she learn all her most important life lessons from her mother.
When she lost her father to an industrial accident, she blamed the system.
Fiver started work in the same spaceship fuel processing plant as her father, even working for the same boss.
Zarth was a rough neighborhood, and Fiver learned to be tough. But the toughest thing she did was working for Pent Winthrop, a known crook who had been embezzling money from the company for years to support his gambling problem.
But oh, how the tables had turned, when Fiver got a new job collecting for a loan shark... The very same loan shark to whom Winthrop had owed a lot of money!
In preparation for her meeting with a telepath, Fiver agrees to an experimental treatment from a rather eccentric scientist.
The experiment was a success. As she sits across the table from the Zeta Reticular, he is unable to probe her mind.
But Fiver was troubled by one thing. She had no intention of being a heartless criminal. Her mother had raised her better than that.
Thanks to her connections, Fiver found a new vocation. Something respectable.
Moving up in the world, Fiver settled in a new neighborhood, and met an interesting new neighbor.
When the "Evil One" returned and captured Janice, Fiver quickly joined Quinto on her rescue mission. They discovered that they worked very well together.
Quinto and Fiver became soldiers of fortune. The money was good, but the adventure was even better!
On one of their missions, Fiver was pulled into a time portal, and encountered two other soldiers of fortune, Blue Wolf and Lady Proton.
Fiver was returned to her own time period by a familiar face. Fiver's future self, who remembered exactly what to do. (Though she refused to tell herself too much about her future.)
Quinto was having her own adventure with a handsome attorney named Comorro Donovan.
On a mission to Earth, Fiver and Quinto ran into some familiar faces. Dr. Christopher Axis, meet Professor Zack Enigma, Dr. Crystal Moon and Jack Spade.
For this mission, they're going to need a new spaceship. Faster, stronger and more technologically advanced. These old car parts will do well.
The result is quite impressive!
Quite the motley crew! Bill Hendrix and Lord Darkblood bring new skills as well.
Oh, those Khaparro Brothers are up to no good again!
Fiver is reunited with Nelo "Blue Wolf" Lojin to foil their latest heist. This is Fiver's and Nelo's idea of a fun date.
When the fugitive former Chrome-Delonian Emperor was defeated, his space station was claimed by the Trellians. Fiver and her newfound associates think this will make an excellent base of operations in exchange for protecting the planet Trell.
Fiver shows their new landlord, Duke Quartz of Emerald, around the station now called "Trell Station One."
Of course, Fiver never neglects her training.
Quinto never neglects her practices either.
Fiver's greatest battle yet was with the notorious Iago Maleficarus.
On the planet Lyzz, Fiver and Quinto encountered a strange mirror that opened a doorway into a parallel universe.
Quinto and her counterpart, known as "Angel Six," exchanged fascinating stories about their respective lives and their similarities and differences.
