Here's an updated version of the handbook with a slightly different format.

Avenging Handbook

The following is a scorecard of sorts for the storyline of Avenging and 
its sister series, Defending (Spider-Girl is not counted, since the 
story might be abandoned and the characters from it might be given 
different roles). It�s important to note many of these characters have 
not appeared and might not. Some are only referenced, but have been 
included here for continuity�s sake.

If someone is a template character, it usually refers to someone from an 
anime that couldn�t possibly exist on Earth at that time. Trowa from 
Wing Gundam has been recast on modern day earth as the villainous Clown. 
Ditto Tylor from Irresponsible Captain Tylor.

This should be an up to date list for Avenging Act I through Act III 
Chapter 1, Side Stories 2+3, and Defending Chapter 8

Note: Avenging Side Story 1 is an Omake, and not canon.

Second Note: Due to the sheer size of the work, it�s possible I missed a 
character or two. A No Prize to those that can tell me who I might have 
missed.

(&) Indicates a character that is referenced rather than physically 
appearing.

Due to the size of the fic, there is a slight change in the format. 
Categories are now subdivided into recurring characters (those that 
appear in more than one chapter), which includes multiple references, 
and one shot/referred characters, that appear once or are only referred 
to a single time. [Note, any character that is part of a recurring 
organization is listed under, recurring even if they only appeared once.]
