- Main article: Earth (Phemus)
The humans of Earth have been pushed to the point of extinction. They have had to bunch up into pockets of protection in an attempt to continue living through the chaos that rages across the planet. Mostly they are governed and controlled by The Catholic Church as it is one of the most able organisations to protect humans from the Hellspawn and many have turned to the Bible and God for guidance. Many priests trained in the ways of the holy light and blessings have gained neigh-magickal abilities, though mostly these only work against demonic or dark creatures.
Homeworld

- Main article: Earth (Phemus)
The planet Earth from which the characters Father Phemus Reginald Smite and his grandfather Reginald Smite originate is one that has been over-run by Hellspawn. In this fantasy version of Earth, the Catholic Church has become the centre-piece of human civilisation and attempts to hold back the swarms of evil creatures through the powers bestowed upon them by God.
Characteristics
Personality
Reginald Smite is polite, pleasant and faithful. He believes in the good of all men and the power of redemption. However he also believes that the sinful ought to be punished. Only during his time through the Multiverse did this extend to extermination. He has become increasingly right-wing and adamant in the purging of evil and the corrupt; though this might be the only course of action for much of the evil things Reginald has seen. He is always willing to lend aid to those he deems good (though they may not be of the Faith, he believes that they will, at least, reach Limbo for their goodness.) and believes in righteousness.

Story Line
Place of Birth
- Main article: New York
North America is one of the few countries that can still call itself such. Several cities across its great mass are still active and manage to fend off the swarms of Hellspawn that regularly try to conquer and destroy them. Unfortunately as each one falls, the rest are weakened. Many have begun to flock to one single city on the continent; New York.
Each city of North America is responsible for itself and its own protection, whilst using New York as a go-between for news and supplies. Each city is run by an elected Mayor. No President now exists.
Early Life
The Vision
Reginald Smite had been born and raised a devout Catholic. Even from a young age it was clear that his devotion and dedication to the Bible was tantamount to saintly. When he reached the age of ten, Reginald experienced a vision. In his vision he was led by an angel through a mysterious doorway. Once through the doorway Reginald was told he would never be able to see his family again but he would find enlightenment.
He dismissed the strange vision as a dream. Only later in life would be reconsider.
Marriage and God
Reginald married at a young age, encouraged by his family to wed and have children. He bore five children in total, though two died at young ages. From his remaining children he was gifted with many grandchildren, including Phemus Reginald Smite, who bore his grandfather's name.
After many years Reginald Smite chose to take a route into priesthood for the Catholic faith. He took a university qualification in philosophy and was eventually given approval to be ordained by a bishop. He took to a life of celibacy and led his life helping others of the faith.
Beyond Earth
The Portal
As per his vision when a child, the old priest encountered a strange doorway like nothing he had ever seen before. When alone in his church, a shimmering light appeared and cast the shape of a door, complete with a handle. Believing it to be a holy light, Reginald entered the door. He was instantly sucked into the infinite called the Multiverse. He would never again see his family or arrive back on Earth. He was doomed to wander through the Multiverse for eternity.
The Napping Cat's Dream
As with many wanderers of the Multiverse, Reginald Smite found his way into the world of The Napping Cat's Dream. It was a complex world of timelessness and a seeming disregard for any laws of reality. It was also a hive for portals and inter-dimensional travel. Reginald Smite spent many years in the Dream. Little did he know that his grandson, Phemus, also travelled to the Dream and yet they never met.
During his time in the Dream, Reginald Smite was involved in a resistance movement against the Ethereal warlords known as Skrai and Mortis. He was comrades with Louise Skydor, Swirl and met time-travellers sent back in time by the scientist Reimi Soulstar.
The Space Station
When the collapse of The Napping Cat's Dream finally arrived, Reginald Smite was almost swallowed by the void that remained; trapped in an eternity of nothing. He was saved, however, by members of the Dream Space Station, which likewise escaped the destruction of its homeworld. Reginald made his home aboard the station for many months, the station drifting through an unknown and violent cosmos. The remnants of the Dream fleet was under the command of Ace Lander, whilst the station remained under the command of Akita Misato. Other officers included Valentine Fellin and Genichi Kasuse.
However the turbulent era aboard the station was brought to an ultimate climax as Reginald's old enemy returned; Skrai. The invasion of the Dream Space Station was swift and destructive, rendering much of the fleet in ruins. Reginald was taken prisoner along with many other officers of the station. Skrai's general, Brittannia, took command of the space station for a period of time following its conquest until she was finally relieved and command was given to a permanent officer; Admiral Crius Ares.
Reginald Smite is still in custody of Admiral Crius.

Father Phemus Reginald Smite was a man of certain notoriety that included lechery, alcohol, passion and loyalty. Originating from a version of Earth that had been overrun by Hellspawn, the priest sought aid for his homeworld through the Multiverse. However he found himself increasingly embroiled in the affairs of others, engaging in heated passion with many women, friendships with others and deep bonds of admiration with a few including Mistress Procellifer and Isis Ve'ilyera. Eventually Phemus' life was taken during the Second Invasion by the Lightfirean named Erosworn.

Player Notes
The character of Reginald Smite always existed as long as Phemus did. However he was never character in his own right until much later; previously being nothing but a backdrop for Phemus' middle name. I decided to tie him into the Dream Space Station story arc in an effort to finally tie up loose ends created by the shutting down of The Napping Cat's Dream forum.
