Week 7 Group Photo: The Literati
_____

The badass bibliophiles of The Literati take a break from defending both the world and the written word to relax in that most apt of locales: their local library. From left to right: Tall Talea, Hamartia, The Second Man, The Red Herring, Lagos the Anthropomorph, Pastiche and Chekhov the Gunsmith.

Characters created by Michael A. Garard, Josh Eckert, Joel Bergman, Jackie Crofts, Brian Reyes, Amy Sims, Brian Baum and James F. Wright.

Codename: Tall Talea

Team: THE LITERATI
_____

Talea Bradly was always one to stretch the truth. Since she was a child she’s been overly dramatic in all situations, but it wasn’t until her teens that she discovered her amazing ability.

When Talea tells a tall tale, she alters the object or person about which she is speaking. If she says her brother is an annoying troll, her brother will transform into a troll. If she says it’s raining cats and dogs, it will rain cats and dogs for the duration of the storm. Understanding the danger of her immense power, she tries to speak only when absolutely necessary, and uses her unique gift to aid The Literati in their quest for peace and justice.
