Barnsfield Gerome Boxcar, bit of an oddball and that is saying a lot when considering the others who live in IF world. His friends call him, Barnsy, partially because only his mom uses his full name and that is when he is in trouble.

Has a scientist/engineer father, Edmund, and historian/teacher mom, Anne, along with older brother, Quinton, and little sister, Zoe. Yeah, Barnsy is technically an adult, kind of. Has significant other, Pudnelopy McSpray and somewhere in the future, a daughter, Puddles.

Will notice little details ignored by others in his travels never considering how odd he seems. With that said, he is very protective of those who are close to him. Barnsy openly talks to God, and at times, himself.

A cartoonist constantly getting into weirder adventures after another.

The world is seen in an abstract way that explains how things work differently around Barnsy. Without reason or explanation, pull random objects out of his coat and hat. No one else can do this by the way.

Terrible allergies which when he sneezes, his beak will at times fall off. Randomly he will break into song, maybe a little dance or ramble off about some little pop culture reference. He likes to talk to anyone that he may come across. Never met a stranger.

Struggles with type one diabetes but gets by with a little from friends/family. Considers himself a mutant cyborg because of his insulin pump, Horatio. Barnsy tries to see people as people willing help when he can as his conscience will not allow him to be any other way.

Bob Airheadmen is a balloon. In case the last name didn't tell you. He is a thinking; feeling; job holding balloon. He is a delivery guy with gravity and wind as a constant adversary. Pretty reliant on good air current. Quiet guy who just wants to go through life as easily as possible.

Wears a hat which is screwed on. His long string functions as a hand allowing him to eat; drink and grabs a tank of helium occasionally. Carries an emergency inhaler for those times he loses height. No feet to catch his fall, just a rear sort of.

Besides air current issues, Bob deals with birds; bees and anything else that is sharp. Has a phobia for those things. Shock.Has a kinack of grabbing hold of stuff.

Cyril has sensitive feelings ignoring that he has no limbs; brain; eyes or ears somehow able to talk without a voicebox.

Cyril is not real. He is a grey plastic toy skull bought at a shop. Barnsy owns him keeping it in his coat pocket to have someone to talk to. Barnsy likes to talk to people but sometimes there is no one around. He can only talk to himself for so long until he might want an answer. Come on Barnsy can not answer himself? That would be weird.

So when he needs the advice to work something out and no one is available, he has a chat with Cyril. I know he is still speaking to himself now in a creepy English accent with an equally strange laugh. Cyril has a strange obsession with Rice Krispies cereal though he has never eaten cereal as far as anyone can recall.

Not hurting anyone. It gets funny when they argue with each other literally insulting one another's intelligence.

Floyd is part of the Propeller Tail species that flies about with a tail in the air and flippers at their sides. Simple folk typically have a horn-like beak that generates bubbles. That is how they communicate with each other. They can also trap things in their bubbles like food or a car, very strong stuff.

Not knowing for blinking, those big pop eyes smile more commonly than frowning likely due to being full of bubbles. Propeller Tails commonly are in various colors but small in size.Barnsy nicknamed Floyd due to him being pinkish and not being able to translate the language.

Floyd will tag along with Barnsy with fans but intelligent prone to instinct.

A planet stitched together from memories and forgotten ideas. Patches sewn together of different patterns and colors. The core is inflated like a balloon consistently getting bigger. Kind of has to.

One of nine planets in the solar system known as Kate. Monday; Tuesday; Wednesday; Thursday; Friday; Saturday; Sunday; Funday and Dullday. This is of course, the planet of Friday. Why is it called, Friday? Easy, Friday are a great day of the week.

This world is the home of Barnsy and his crew. Constant flux of change as it's structure and inhabitants change on a frequent basis.

If you are looking for a cranky, argue-loving, harsh opinionated, kind-hearted accented gentleman, then Cecil Brush Grungerson is your guy. Most call him 'Grunge' out of preference by Cecil. Why? because most mispronounce his name. Ceasel which annoys the shrub. Yep, he is a shrub.

From many of his long-drawn-out stories, Grunge will explain that he is very old. He is a plant and as long as a trimming can grow, Grunge will live on. He claims to have gained his accent as a small cutting that was grown in a coffee pot on a pirate ship. Also loves coffee as he smells like it constantly.Grunge figures that everything he has to say contains life lessons and only a fool would not listen
frequently and often.

Has a strong fear of being squashed due to being boneless and short. Most time Grunge will insist on riding on the shoulder or noggin of one of his taller friends. Runs a restaurant, 'The Soup Pot'. He is also an ordained shrub of the cloth. A Pastor. Good to have friends along unless said friend, Grunge, is the first to run into danger causing your other friends to come and rescue you. Likes to fight but not good at it. Can be quite generous to strangers but will cost you hearing one of the many thousand stories told by Grunge.

On a shelf somewhere, there might be a hat. Inside that hat, all the way down, you might be able to see a door. Not everyone can. If so then welcome to Imagination Fantastique.

Don't mind the music going off in your head, only you can hear it perhaps. Good way to waste a bag of time, it's a stitched together of odds and ends that many thought were unimportant. Ideas; suggestions; theories; old stories; new adaptations; history redirected and plenty of guessing.

Nothing fades away. Just lost things eventually dropping from the air as visible as wind. A place where inanimate objects talk; reality is thrown into a blender and nothing is planned. Always growing merging new into what is to make unexpected conclusions.

Technically a dog but looks nothing like a dog. She is made of musical instruments. Her head is a drum, feet are tambourines, a drum stick for a tail, bells for eyes, piano keys for teeth, a guitar for a body, a trumpet for a nose and symbols for ears. She is a sight that is for sure.

She is originally from the realm of music wandering away from the boredom of every day, followed Barnsy home and never left. She has been his companion voicing her opinion in random sounds yet to be categorized by Barnsy. Always enthusiastic even if it is about dirt. You can always hear her coming no matter how far she is from you.

The Coffee Fix bunch is a little different then the rest. These folks are are actually coffee cups that are sentient with plenty of human like qualities to go around.

A play on established names; brands and even styles of coffee, many times portrayed very typical everyday life. Made up brands and puns galore. Shown mainly with smoke coming out the lids which serve as their head tops

A Comedy and Tragedy are common representations of life as seen in the theater. In these parts, they are also pins typically worn on Barnsy's coat. The expressions change but missed by most. In fact, Barnsy is not aware that the two can talk. Being so tiny their voices are very soft. Can't even hear them.

Comedy is a bit cheerier. Positive and upbeat most of the time. Prefers to smile with hope in his heart that all will be fine.

Tragedy is much more 'glass is half empty.' He can only focus on the negative of a situation. Anything else is so beyond his comprehension. This philosophy is much more accept the inevitable conclusion, DOOMSDAY!!

Together Comedy and Tragedy make up one perfectly centered person. As long as you ignore the giggling and sighing happening at the same time.

In a small little English town, there lives a Christian Pastor, named David who runs the local church. A decent man believing that God gives us a direction to follow and God will lead. That was greatly challenged when David became a parent to a grey dragon named Dra-Gon.

David found an egg, that looked like old stone, in a rock quarry buried from the sunlight. David was a bit interested in geology not thinking it was going to hatch. The egg looked quite old apparently waiting to be exposed to light.

Dra-Gon is a typical child accepted by the town as just one of those weird things that a new pastor brings to the job. Awkward at times; very curious; naive but well-meaning. Dra-Gon is allergic to mound; ragweed and wool which causes like anyone, to sneeze.

Have you ever wondered who wanders in the background of the comics strips in Barnsy Ink? A random spider; a frog and plenty of ants? Yes, they are Grime Inc. A band of bugs; vermin and insects lead by the king fish of the group, Murray the frog.

Usually the witnesses to the oddities around them but from time to time the culprits of chaos. Antony is the most common of the gang. Stealing food much of the time. Bigger the better. Kind of hard to tell which one is Antony since most of them look similar but he is there.

The 'family' likes to meddle with inventions while inviting other mutant 'cousins' to hang with them. A cup of coffee with wings, you are part of the 'family'. A spool of thread with eight legs made of sewing needles, yeah you are in.

An orange and redfish fish living in a bowl on a table away from harm or fear, plenty of food, clean water, and a small castle that he can never fit into, but will try nonetheless. Seems like an easy way to live? Right? Not if you are paranoid and always in a mood.

Grumpy Guppy, also known simply as 'Guppy', spends his days giving a running commentary of the day and life of him viewing the world from the safety of his fishbowl. Glass half empty in his point of view.

Could be argued that his fear is justified, after all, he is owned by Barnsy. The Guppy is aware that Barnsy is a bird so should be a fish eater. A fact that is lost on Barnsy. Just wanted a pet fish. Guppy, on the other hand, is not oblivious that fish like worms.

Yep, Guppy has tried and failed many times to eat Nall. Nall tends to mistake that big grin of excitement on the fish's faces as a sign of greeting. Must be a terrific guy always smiling when Nall is around. Not all Guppies would put up a large neon sign inviting worms to visit. Nall's naive nature defeats the fish who forgets he is in a bowl.

Barnsy likes to refer to himself as a mutant cyborg. That is because he is a type 1 diabetic. Yes, even here diseases exist. Anyway, this requires a mechanical assistance is the form of Horatio. Horatio is an insulin pump attached to Barnsy's stomach. That is why we will rarely see him. Horatio does not talk but is aware.

He communicates to Barnsy with beeps and chirps. Strictly as a work requirement to remind Barnsy to eat and checks his blood sugar on a constant schedule. Horatio is a bit neurotic that way. Checking his charts and planning ahead to anticipate what Barnsy might need. A stressful job. Then again, Pudnelopy does call Horatio, Barnsy's life partner. Ha.

Doesn't have many hobbies in a job that literally is a seven day and twenty-four-hour gig. No mandatory union breaks. Though he enjoys the sounds of binary numbering. Been to kno0wn to rework the alarm sounds to sound more techno

beat country heavy metal jazz tune. Finds the insulin vials, Horatio carries, to be very cold. The mechanical vibrations that the pump gives off is sometimes a chill. Insulin makes Horatio sneeze too a bit but it is all part of the job he was born for. His serial number will tell you that proudly.

Joseph Guyver was an only child to two loving parents, who run a deli in town. A vast imagination living in an ordinary world. Joe is a well adjusted kid who wanted a sibling. Someone who understood him as well as he understood himself.

Suffers a bit from self doubt. Grows to love books and TV which inspires him to create an imaginary friend, Joe would call 'Infineas'. Infineas would kind of be there always but stay dormant as Joe got older. During a hard time in both lives, Infineas would come back into Joe's life for keeps, choosing to leave Imagination Fantastique.

Joe is usually a jokey easy going sort but has a heavy belief system of right and wrong. Inspired by his upbringing and his faith. This sometimes brings him at odds with others even if he is trying to maintain his own business.

Infineas in sitting on Joe's head as a helmet results a third personality, Journeyer. The name of Joe's super hero idea he had as kid. Decked out in a gloves; sneaker; jeans; a bomber jacket. Journeyer is morally directed to almost a point of cliche.

Yes, Journeyer is independent but Joe and Fin share the memories.

By shouting together, 'Wake Up', Journeyer can be summoned. Journeyer will at times declare, 'I'm going to sleep', which separates Joe and Infineas. Infineas carries the extra clothes in his shell as time and space is weird for him.

The powers that Journeyer possesses are: enhanced strength; senses; second sight; create simple objects and projectiles; energy blasts; agility and durability. Energy supply is not limitless thus requires a lot of food at times. This also

means limited adventures for the third member of this duo. The second sight is what provokes Joe and Fin to act but also allows many surreal acts to fall into motion. Wrong place at the wrong time times ten.

On a cliff somewhere that leads nowhere. The ocean is white surround by a blank canvas. On the absolute edge, there is a house with a clock on the front. A lighthouse that shines out to nowhere showing worlds that meld into each other.

Constant change leaving scattered trash on the isle ground. This house lies in the Middle of Everywhere. Nowhere and everywhere. Between Imagination Fantastique and reality. A dream scape.

Never stopping in world bending and shaping to be documented. The house holds memories that are reaching into space. It's guardian and librarian is H.C. Standrack. A creature who could only exist in this pile of madness. An endless parade of sound and noise.

Percival Ignatius Guin is a shy little penguin who tends to be on the fussy side when it comes to a procedure that shapes his entire life. Loves books and hates technology. Carries a pocket watch, checking regularly with his numerous schedules to be sure he is not behind whatever plans are on for the day. Rarely speaks unless necessity demands him not to write a note.

Will avoid all tech if possible. Wears polished brown shoes, a handkerchief in his suit along with a white shirt with bright buttons and a bow tie. This is how Percival dresses every day without fail. The one thing that never comes off, if so briefly, is his brown hat. The hat is very important to Percival.

Besides hiding his bald head, it is his deduction hat. You heard right, his deduction hat. Percival is a detective.

He watches and questions everything because his initials told him what he was meant to be. P.I. as in Private Investigator.

Pudnelopy Mcspray (Boxcar), an H2O molecule life form living in an enclosed shelter. In other terms, she is a water sprite living in a puddle inside a damp cave. She met Barnsy, when one day, he stepped on her while she was in puddle form. She has a very rational, and common-sense way of looking at life. Barnsy claims that her voice is what he hears in his head during times of conflict.Pudnelopy can calm Barnsy down. Reminding him of what is important. She leans on her faith in God, believing nothing is impossible to God. Huge book reader with a stack of books surrounding her.

As a water Sprite, Pudenelopy is a bit of a shape changer. Being fluid when she needs to be but can easily turn strong/solid when the moment arrives. Values

family and friends above material things. She will not back down in her opinions and beliefs. Prefers small gatherings. Opinionated but not judgmental. Will not hold things against another. Huge fan of Chick flicks; horror flicks; Action flicks and offbeat comedies.

Pudnelopy is partially deaf but can sign as well reads lip very well. She needs to be able to see the speakers mouth but vibrations helps too being made of water.After getting married, she and Barnsy have a little daughter, that they name Puddles. She knows what Puddles are thinking before Puddles knows. She reads people fairly so little surprises her. She senses the water in the air and sea so it makes easier to be familiar with her environment.

Born in the middle of everywhere, a place where reality and dreams mingle in a mess of uncertainty. In an abandon house surrounded by a white void shining into worlds that burn and vanish. Multiple memories of a generational clan contained in this place.

Merging together to form a shape from massive piles of keepsake and forgotten items. The body base being that of a battered coat rack; multi-arms and feet and a football for a head. This is H.C. (Hat Coat) Standrack

A detective sorts who uses knowledge not his own and logic to assist in the dream realm fixing matters not his own. He must be invited. He carries a empty book in his coat to create his own memories and find his own life in the mean time as he is compelled to help others.

The clothes are old world as the impulse in his mind inspires familiar and old things from those Standrack has never met but knows intimately. Travels with a small car that can become a mechanical dragon creature, (Ziggy) and a toy frog, (Hops) that sits in Standrack's pocket.

The voice shifts in tone as the vibrations are based on the principle of guitar strings. He is a mesh of wood; cloth; machinery and plastic. None of the pieces should work together but do. Standrack has no control as to where he roads will lead him as everything bleeds into another without warning or visible reason.

Serial number #SU-PRY-1ZR, known as Surpriser. He is a robot with a bucket for a body; a zipper in the front; bike lights as eyes; mechanical arms and a big wheel as feet.Why the zipper? Simple, it opens a compartment full of tools and things in between. Loves to collect things that he finds. Sells them as well if they are worth good money and serves no sentimental value to himself.

Beside restoration in a private enterprise, Surpriser likes sports. Mainly baseball and hockey. Always up to bestow a bit of advice. Likes a good laugh but gets annoyed. Always ready for a barbecue.

Timester is not an individual but a species of sorts. Sometimes taking the shape of sun dials; clocks; watches; hourglasses and a digital time piece or two. Usually personifies as a person or animal such as a dog; birds or cats.

Timester is a constant reminder as how time works in Imagination Fantastique. Time does move forward but peak back to see the past that has never been seen by the reader. Or walk into the future to see what will happen one day.

Many of the adventures will just chronicle a moment in time expanding or compressing depending on the point we see it.

Joseph Guyver had an imaginary friend when he was a child. Joe called his friend, Infineas IF. Short for Fineas as in the character, Fineas Fog from the novel, 'Around The World In Eighty Days'.

A favorite of Joe's mother. Infineas appearance is based on an old yellow bike helmet in the hallway closet. He lived in the middle of Everywhere. A place believed to be the link between Imagination Fantastique and what we would see as 'Reality'.

A real place where Fin could appear kind of ghostly to Joe as Joe was the one who gave him substance beyond just a personality. Infineas was one of the many figment that lived in the tower of H.C.

Standrack. Infineas slipped through a window and became a buddy to Joe. Best reception closer to the sea that is merely a tide of constant change of perception.One day, Infineas decided he wanted to live in the real world for...real. He followed Joe home possessing the actually helmet. Stuck in this reality forever apparently. Infineas and Joe are linked mentally. Very much like brothers. Infineas cannot physically talk but can communicate telepathically with Joe.

Otherwise Infineas carries a series of cards to talk to Joe's parents. Yes, the parents are aware of Infineas. Infineas could change his shape per the abilities that were given to him by Joe's imagination. All which became real as both now exist in the same world. Looking like a tiny ball; a hat; a shelled creature with flippers; sit like a snail and to briefly fly. Always present are Infineas' bug like eyes that rest on top of his beak that was the brim of the helmet.

At times Infineas hides in a bag; ceiling or dressed as a dog or in plan sight as a helmet or toy. Fin and Joe can exist individually but prefer hanging together like buddies..

Where does Barnsy live? Good question with an excellent answer. This Marv, he is a sea monster with an island growing out of his back. Yes, that is a overgrown hat as a house resting on top of it all. Marv is old and doesn't see well. Barnsy takes care of him and feeds him.

Allowing Marv to swim in any old direction at his discretion. Of course if they need to change course, Barnsy just gets out the old fishing pole with a sandwich attached to it to guide Marv to a new path. Such a sandwich was the size of Marv himself just tube shaped.Mutual assured survival among good old friends.

Nallon Bookmuncher loves the excitement of skateboarding but has no limbs. No one knows how Nall makes the skateboard move; swim; play football or any of the other sports Nall is involved. Totally driven by a soul the size of a skyscraper. Nall is adopted with an Ant as a dad and a spider for a mom. Nall has a brother who is a cricket, a sister who is a bee, and another sister, that’s a snail.

You will never see Nall talk even though you can hear muffled words coming from Nall. As a worm, Nall’s mouth is located on Nall’s butt. Nall considers Barnsy a best friend and quite loyal to him.

Nall is very laid back and never in a real hurry, but will always be looking out for anyone seen as family. Open to trying new things with merely saying 'cool' never sure if Nall really was following what someone was saying.

Nall lives in the ground on Barnsy's property, which is a floating house monster, named, Marv. Being a worm, Nall is neither male nor female, which does not faze Nall whatsoever.

Somewhere in the future,Pudnelopy and Barnsy will have a little girl, named Puddles Jumping Boxcar. Like her mom, Puddles is opinionated, compassionate, has sensibility, determined, and strong-willed. Like her dad, she is also quite silly at times, optimistic, protective, and quite comfortable looking at the world from an odd point of view.

If you cross a friend or family member of Puddles, she will get in your face to defend that person. She is cautious but seems to have a plan in her back pocket when in need.

Tell her she cannot do something will only fuel her to find a way to make it happen. If need be Puddles will break the the rules only if someone needs her help. A kind heart with goofy methods. Will ramble on in her stories getting to the point eventually. Just like her dad.

A sly con artist who is always cooking up a scheme. Not very clever but thinks he is the king of the angle. Always trying to sell a pitch that is nothing but empty air with bits of junk dressed up to make a quick buck.

Much of the time he gets a way with his neck in tact and reputation that will need a new coat of fake over it.

Word to the potential wise, don't accept checks from this guy. They will most likely be post dated hundred years from now in a forged signature with a name that is even close to being real.

Smith is literally music. Represented by the various musical notes and elements which do change. Smith's form never stays the same for long. Pretty mellow most of the time. Bit passive finding refuge in his music.

The music changes his personality as it is linked to the world around him. Allowing him to speak in tunes. Sometimes he is actually talking in lyrics. Rather philosophically and soulful trying to find a peaceful balance.

Sunshine and Moonglow, a love affair one rotation at a time. Moonglow evolved from an old deflated soccer ball left in the pile of forgotten stuff. Inflated floating in what became the space of the IF universe. Sunshine was a cracked lightbulb that was sparked about the world around her.

Mononglow just like floating around seeing everything came about as he rotates about the planet Friday. Big contemporary music fan. Tries to figure out what all those little people are doing on that planet over there. Moonglow has a bit of a fondness for Sunshine, finding it hard to find things to talk about in such short period of times of rotation.Sunshine likes to be sarcastic at times when regarding some of the books she reads and TV she watches. Yes, she does both in spite of being made of enormous ball of heat and fire.
