Characters

Meet the main cast of the comic and the cast of side characters.

Paul

Paul


Birthday: January 1, 1759
The Paul Reveres: Vocals, Guitar


Has more in common with Mike Score and Prince than he does with Johnny Rotten or Joey Ramone, but, hey, he’s trying. Paul’s the youngest member of The Paul Reveres, but that doesn’t mean he’s the least qualified. Brought up musically by his late friend Allen, Paul is determined to fight against the British at all costs.

Warren

Warren


Birthday: June 11, 1757
The Paul Reveres: Bass


Woman want him and men want to be him… except when he’s passed out drunk in a back alley… or when he’s making special time with the wives of British generals… Yeah, maybe no one actually wants to be him. When he’s not participating in extracurricular activities, Warren is apprentice to a prominent doctor in Boston.

Warren

Toby


Birthday: October 30, 1757
The Paul Reveres: Drums


Boy from New Jersey, knows drums and meat-filled pies. Invited up to Boston by his close friend, Warren, per Sam Adams’ request.

Benedict

Benedict


Birthday: January 14, 1755
The Union Jack-Offs: Vocals, Keytar


What he lacks in height, he makes up for in spirit. Handpicked all members of The Union Jack-Offs and tries his hardest to keep everyone in the band at peace with each other… which isn’t an easy job!

William

William


Birthday: August 5, 1753
The Union Jack-Offs: Bass


Mysterious loyalist who opposes everything Sam Adams and everything General Gage. Doesn’t like sunshine, women, liquor, and doesn’t wanna be on the beach! No fun!

Henry

Henry


Birthday: November 13, 1757
The Union Jack-Offs: Guitar, Drums


It’s joked there’s always a good twin and a bad twin. Well this is the bad one… plays a mean EDS-1275 though, so it makes up for his past. Henry joined up with Gage’s army to take time off his prison sentence and to spend some more quality time with his brother.

Edward

Edward


Birthday: November 13, 1757
The Union Jack-Offs: Drums, Guitar


It’s tough to find a good drummer and apparently even tougher to find one without a prison record. Convicted for his brother’s crime as well, Edward joined up with Gage’s army to take time off his prison sentence.

Edward

Archie


Birthday: October 1, 1754
The Union Jack-Offs: Drums


Before joining The Union-Jackoffs, he was part of the Fraser’s Highlanders of Scotland. He thinks he’s the best thing to happen to The Union Jack-Offs since Benedict formed the band and takes his job very seriously. He’s learned that you can’t win against the British so might as well join them.




Other Characters




Snickerdoodle

Snickerdoodle


This could be the classic story about a boy, his dog, and the punk rock American Revolution, except we’re not quite sure Snickerdoodle is a dog. Maybe some kind of demon? She is only nice to Paul and Johnny, but dislikes almost any other character, especially Toby.

Cilla Lapham


The granddaughter of the silversmith Ephraim Lapham where Johnny Tremain worked in Boston. Y’know, just like that book that one time. Fiercely loyal to whoever she’s dating to a fault. A little aggressive. Childhood Friends: Johnny Tremain and Rab Silsbee
