Reading through the Gwen Farris books now and it seems like Darren Westmoreland/Billy Cavendish is the closest analog in that universe so far.

I'm not saying that these are the same people per se, but that they're the Trickster/Precogs.

[brainsniffer]

If not Kolb for the Cavendish/Tyler analog in YA... what do people think of Timon for it? I mean, he's missing on the list so far, and I could kind of see it - smart, fairly deadly... it just kind of popped in my head and I'm ruminating on it.

Billy Cavendish (encountered in Gwen Farris reality, comes like Gwen originally from Dead End reality) is pretty clearly Cavendish (Alternate) [also, see P.S. Powers post above which I read to be a sort-of official confirmation of that].

Assuming the above is correct, the following all have that facial scar thing going on:
[DE] Billy Cavendish
[YA] Kolb
[Discipline] Ali
[Lament] Guardian Clark

which makes it relatively likely that they are all the same person.

The following two are a guess from me:
[Infected] Carl ("the insane level fifteen trainer")
[Hobbs' World] Hobbs

but they fit in well with the group above. Kolb, Ali, Clark all have that "trainer" thing going on, which is a good match to both Carl and Hobbs. In addition, Hobbs seems to have that "constantly thinking about how to kill everyone" thing going on like Cavendish.

We never get to see the real Darren Westmoreland, he is only mentioned by Billy as having switched places. Given that he was switched into the Dead End reality, and I can't remember him showing up in any of the Dead End books (but maybe hiding under a different name?) it's likely that he didn't survive the Zombies.

Timon is [censored as the book isn't published yet], and I can't see either one as a good or even remote match to anyone on the list above (and it would force Carl off the list), so probably not.

To be fair, not everyone is in every story. Some that are will seem very minor.

Infinite means everything, after all.

Dale, When all of the series wind down for the climax, will it be okay to ask for a list of all character analogues? I know its a huge undertaking, but some of us are dying to know who's who, you know. I don't think we'll get it all completely. It probably doesn't matter, really, but it'd be nice to know for certain.

Ripped Open (The Infected: Ripped to Shreds Book 2) is out: https://www.amazon.com/Ripped-Open-Infe ... 01F0Q2TAW/ (wrongly listed as Book 1 in the title on amazon, but correctly listed as Book 2 on the cover).

Anyone reading this thread, please consider this post a warning that following the forum rules for this particular forum, any following post can contain spoilers for Ripped Open (as well as for any previously published book that's part of this multiverse).

You've been warned.

Here is an updated list of which characters in the different realities are the "same" person.

The list has been produced using information from:
Impulse: A Whole New Day [Infected 8 - Bridget 1]
War Day [Infected 9 - Brian 3]
Shield of Innocence [Alternate Places 4 - Zack 3]
Persist [Discipline 3]
Kindred [Young Ancients 19 - Dareg 3]
Ripped Open [Infected 11 - Cin 2] (based on pre-release version, will update the list if the final published version has any relevant differences).

I've primarily included information about people that are explicitly mentioned in the books as being the "same" person.

There are some cases where a match has not been explicitly confirmed in the published books, which his kinda-sorta been confirmed by Dale on the forum. In that case the particular entry is prefixed with an exclaimation mark ( ! ).

I've also added a few entries that are just guesses, they are prefixed with one or more question marks ( ? ). The more question marks, the more shakey the guess.

A few people are know to originate in realities other than the main realities of the different book series. In that case I've marked them with a star and a number, same number means the same unnamed reality.

The reality that the Infected reality interacts with, from which Hobbs, Mary, Braid, and so on originate, was often referred to as "Hobbs' World" in the Infected books, so I'll use that label instead of a numbered star.

Here, in no particular order, is the list:
