When the World Ends, make Lemonade from Oranges. Character Index part I

This a character index and summary for a crossover AU I'm writing, as well as my first work I am posting here on Tumblr. This works expands over multiple fandoms, centering on Sam & Max Freelance Police, Psychonauts, and Count Duckula (a strange combination, I know). This will be split into parts considering how big it's gotten.

=========

In Summary: This Au takes place directly after the events of the Devil's Playhouse, with Sam and Max newly reunited. Unfortunately, Max's time travel has unforeseen consequences, triggering a domino effect that not only merges Sam and Max's timelines, but rips open portals to other dimensions. This forceful and chaotic introduction to the multiverse is dubbed the Great Universal Calamity, or GUK for short, by Mama Bosco. And as if the initial confusion isn't enough, the GUK is followed by an array of random and bizarre events that only adds fuel to fire: reanimating the dead, reversing gravity, making sentient toasters, blinking people out of existence and… creating babies? Now, not only do Sam and Max have to juggle their home becoming the epicenter hub of newly opened dimensions, but also raising an infant that strangely has their DNA and, just their luck, is a freakishly strong psychic with an unexplained connection to the Toys of Power.

Twelve years later, the multiverse has adapted to life post GUK. Darla "The Geek" Cotton-Hound has grown into a genius albeit sarcastic, loner pre-teen; raised in the heart of the GUK Hub thus making her unfazed by the chaotic mess that is her life.

Sam and Max are pretty happy with how they raised her, until they realize a bit too late that Geek missed out on many aspects of a normal childhood. Mainly socialization with other people, which Geek avoided like the plague, spending most of her time in her sub-basement-turned-laboratory. It doesn't help that her psychic powers have begun to grow stronger and neither know how to help.

Thankfully, a solution promptly presents itself when a flyer for Whisper Rock Psychic Summer Camp smacks Max in the face. A summer camp for psychic children run by a government with questionable intentions in the middle of nowhere? Sounds perfect!

=========

Character notes from observations and psychic foresight by Geek Cotton-Hound, as written in her journal, part I:

Darla “Geek” Cotton-Hound - Snarky child genius with psychic powers. Spends half her time reigning in her dads’ chaos and the other half building weapons of mass destruction.

Topaz Pandemik - Darla’s shy best friend who happens to be made out of living marble. Once lifted the neighbor's car with one hand to reach Geek’s lost hair ribbon. 

Rasputin “Raz” Aquato - Young psychic prodigy who has goals of becoming the best Psychonaut agent. Is not having the best day.

D’Artagnan “Dart” Lobo - Newest (and grumpiest) camper at Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. Thought there was something off about Geek the moment she arrived.

Count Radish Duckula - Vegetarian vampire and the latest incarnation of the Duckula line. Tired of Igor signing him up for various villain leagues.
