Two skilled thieves from opposite ends of the planet constantly clash in their efforts to achieve the latest and greatest heist: Tigg, a sentimental drifter with a heart of gold, and Hykes, a suave and wealthy smooth-talker with a weakness for overspending. But their attempts to outsmart each other are put on hold when narcissistic mega-thief, Dren Rixen, decides to steal the spotlight not just on Oberon, but across the entire galaxy. Can a ghetto boy and a rich kid become frenemies long enough to stop Rixen and his Flame Gang from destroying galactic order? Find out in Thieves of Oberon, a ten-part wonky and wild adventure serial!
CHARACTERS
Tigg
Tigg knows all about Oberon's over-crowded slums - he grew up there. After witnessing first-hand the suffering and oppression of his fellow Undergroundians, he feels the only path to liberation is to line his pockets with the wealth accrued by super-rich elitists and thus finance a full-fledged rebellion. But his own heart betrays him. Tigg isn't just a brash and bold thief, he is the good guy; and the future of the entire planet rests squarely on his shoulders..
Hykes
A perfect example of Oberon's elite, Hykes takes up thievery to fund his ever-shrinking coffers. Frivolous and carefree, he squanders money right and left, pouring it into gambling halls and upper-class beauty salons, or lavishing it on flashy socialites like Pauline York. Everything goes swimmingly until a poor boy from the ghetto spoils his fun. With his creditors closing in and his wealth dwindling, Hykes has no choice but to become target #2 for the Galaxy's Most Wanted.
Anya
Beautiful, sexy and dangerous, Anya is not as simple as she appears. While her killer physique and badassery have stumped the Oberon brass time and again, her magnetism hides a dark secret: Anya is terrified of her boyfriend, the notorious Flame Gang leader, Dren Rixen.. When she develops a soft spot for the handsome yet cocky Tigg, it's either cross Dren and his entire gang, or bury her feelings down deep. Either way, Anya cannot remain neutral for long.
Dren Rixen
Dren Rixen's meteoric rise baffles the citizens of Oberon. Other than his obvious quest for inter-galactic stardom, he keeps his end-game close to his vest, garnering attention through constant bribery, thievery and murder. His fellow "Flamers" are loyal to the point of death and his resources are endless, opening portals on every planet whereby he can exploit and plunder - until a scruffy, ghetto thief throws a monkey wrench in his operations and leaves him scrambling for revenge.
Botor
The last of his species, Botor labored in Oberon's freight yards as a cargo transporter where he and his fellow Mantisians were forced into servitude and eventually, extinction. His escape is facilitated by Tigg, one of a handful of humans to understand Mantisian, and the two swear an oath of brotherhood. Known for his sarcasm and intense sugar cravings, Botor uses his size and strength to power through all obstacles on the hunt for the perfect heist.
Plinky
Pigs are common throughout the galaxy, appearing in every shape, size and color imaginable. Plinky, a black-and white pinto whose major perk is inflatibilty, serves as the third wheel to Tigg's pack of heisters. Although clumsy, coarse and crude, he proves useful as an all-around bean bag and pin cushion for near-death scrapes and prison breakouts. The brunt of everyone's jokes, Plinky's spirit is nevertheless indomitable and he prizes friendship above all else.
