The Truth Union consists of seven teenage members.
The leader of the group is Ember - a strong, independent, and courageous 15-year-old super, with the power of pyrokinesis - the ability to control and create fire. The only thing you shouldn't do is anger him - after his anger dies down, he goes into a state of sadness. No one knows the reason why this happens.
The next member is Crow - a fiery, smart and dangerous 13-year-old, with geokinesis, (the ability to control rocks, gems and some metals) and advanced hacking skills. She also has a fierce side - if you mention her family, or ask her anything about her past or identity, you will be in extreme danger.
Another member is Arrow - a level headed, loyal and intelligent teen of 14. He has super speed, and short distance teleportation. It is possible that he may have a little crush on Crow, but no one has ever confirmed it. He's loyal to her to a point where he would sacrifice himself for her.
Jaguar is a secretive, gothic and understanding 15 year old, making her the second oldest in the group. She's got a mysterious past, and no one really knows much about her. All they know is that she wants revenge on Rattlesnake.
The next member is Matchmaker - a quirky, smart and kind girl of 14. She is a skilled archer, and her skill has only improved over time as she started to be trained by the one and only Cupid. She has never met any of the team before, but she's quick to make friends.
Storm is a clever and sarcastic, yet understanding 13 year old, who has powers that match her name - Lightning creation and manipulation, and wind control. She may or may not have a crush on Freezer, but she never confirmed nor denied it.
The final member is Freezer - a kind, clever and funny 14 year old, who can control water, create ice, and he also has other abilities, that most people don't know. He likes Storm, but don't tell anyone, okay?
Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld.
*****
When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
