Everworld is an English language fantasy book series written by K. A. Applegate (Katherine Alice Applegate) and published by Scholastic.
Original Characters
David Levin
David Levin is the hero of the story. He takes on all the burdens of the group. He has been troubled by his past in which he was cowardly; he must prove himself to be a man. David showed his courage and bravery (or stupidity) before Zeus and other Greek gods. He fights with the Sword of Galahad.
Senna Wales
Senna Wales is the witch that intertwines all the characters. She at times uses David, Christopher and Jalil. She is the half-sister of April. She wants to control Everworld.
Christopher Hitchcock
Christopher Hitchcock is the reluctant clown of the group. He often jokes about racism, sexism, and homosexuality. He is on the road to becoming an alcoholic. Often appears to be bipolar, he can be a jerk one minute and a kind caring person the next. He gave up becoming a god, because he failed to save the life of one.
Jalil Sherman
Jalil Sherman is the scientist of the group; he wants to find the "software" on which Everworld runs and control it. In the real world he is obsessive compulsive, but in Everworld is unaffected.
April O'Brien
April O'Brien is the heroine of the group. She is the half-sister of Senna. April carries her own burdens in the group, and is often the voice of reason next to Jalil.
Loki
Loki is the god who transported David, Senna, Christopher, Jalil and April into Everworld. He wants to use Senna as a gateway to the old world.
Ka Anor
Ka Anor is the god-eating god of the Hetwan. He wants to eat all the gods in Everworld, before they escape to the old world.
Thorolf
Thorolf is a Viking, in whose farm David, Christopher, Jalil and April spend the night.
Olaf Ironfoot
An African Viking with an iron foot, Olaf Ironfoot fought along side David, Christopher, and Jalil against the Aztecs. He was sliced in half by Huitzilopoctli.
Sven Swordeater
Sven Swordeater is a young Viking who was stabbed through the cheeks causing a speech impediment. He was also killed by Huitzilopoctli.

Vikings
Aztecs
Coo-Hatch
The Coo-Hatch are strange creatures from an alien world who were abandoned in Everworld. They have large red eyes with blue pupils. Also, they have two main arms as well as two smaller arms that have more dexterity and that are on the sides of their faces. The Coo-Hatch are also master metal forgers and can create blades sharp enough to cut through any known material. However, they had no knowledge of guns (until they use April's chemistry textbook) and they have little knowledge of knots. They use this skill to make small throwing stars that are thrown by their main arms and caught by their smaller ones. Their one true desire is to go back to their forges on their home-world.
Hetwan
The Hetwan are a race of insectoid aliens. The Hetwan worship Ka Anor, the dread god of terror, and serve his will to devour all the gods in Everworld. Though aliens, they have no high-tech weaponry. They do, however, wield devices similar to long straws (nicknamed "SuperSoakers" by the main characters), out of which they shoot a burning, venomous acid. They live in a great city that resembles a giant needle sticking out of a pit ("Junkie Dreamland"), with an assortment of strange creatures from their home world. The characters fight the Hetwan often, and most of the peoples in Everworld, though trying to appease them, seem to be their enemies---sensible, since Ka Anor intends to kill all of Everworld's gods eventually.

Sennites
The Sennites are a group of white supremists Senna brings over from the real world. With modern weapons, they're a force to be reckoned with. At the beginning of book 12, with Senna dead, David and the others wonder if the Sennites might forge an alliance with Ka Anor. This forces the four to make a deal with the gods in order to stem the threat.
