Story
The game stars Wex Major, a young male who gets lost in an unfamiliar galaxy. He eventually meets up with eight other off-beat, strange adventurers, and becomes the leader of the group, of which they dub the "Wild 9". The "Nine" consists of "Nitro", who has serious allergy problems and explodes once coming across said allergens, "Pokkit", who has a special jacket with an infinite amount of pockets full of an infinite number of things, "Pilfer", a lizzard with hundreds of separate personalities, "Volstagg", a strong person with antlers, "Crystal", who is solar powered and living hair, "Boomer", who has powers from wearing the kilt of her Scottish superhero ancestor, "MacSheen", who is adept with tools but is rather harmonal, and "B'Angus", who looks similar to a chihuahua, and lives inside the Rig item, providing advice for Wex.
The game's main antagonist is the evil Karn, a being who is 376 years old and desires to use the "Rig" item as a method of enslaving and controlling the inhabitants of the universe. Karn kidnaps the rest of the "Wild 9" crew, leaving it up to Wex to rescue them and ultimately defeat Karn.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“The impulse to perfection cannot exist where the definition of perfection is the arbitrary decision of authority. That which is born in loneliness and from the heart cannot be defended against the judgment of a committee of sycophants. The volatile essences which make literature cannot survive the clichés of a long series of story conferences.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
