|
Kim
Banner - Ex-assassin turned monster-girl, she's currently
hiding out with Medea on the far edges of civilization. She seems
to be suffering from selective amnesia. She and Medea have become
good friends, despite the fact that Medea is difficult to get along
with. |
|
|
|
Anna
Bloom - The non-talented sister in a family of psychics,
she is struggling to maintain a relationship with a sister (Eliza
Rowlock) she barely knows, the ghost of her dead twin, a caustic
magician (Ivan Churney) and all that the City deems fit to throw
at her. She's the trophy wife of a man named Jefferson Bloom -
a man that Danny Relston is busily trying to kill. Anna Bloom is
also a servant of the House of Rage,
although, except in nightmares,
she herself seems oddly unaware of this. |
|
|
|
Andrea
Bright - The blind, spoiled daughter of a very wealthy
(and cursed) man, Andrea is just starting to recover from a disease
that apparently destroyed not only her health, but Charity Ellsworth's coffee
shop as well. She and Charity have a... problematic relationship
starting way back when they first met as
children. |
|
|
|
Victori
Carslyle - She's either the best thief in the world or
one of the worse- Victori has no sense of monetary value, but she
can steal almost anything. She
starts out as a thief looking to steal something back; something
so important she was willing to break into the Polly D to
find it. What that something is and who she's working for during armageddon
girl are both yet to be determined. |
|
|
|
Drew
Carter - He runs a healthy black-market business with
a sideline in magical artifacts and enjoys a sort of diplomatic
immunity because of it, as both sides (all sides?) in the struggle
(any and all struggles?) need his services. He is notoriously mercenary
and does his best to keep other people from knowing too much about
himself. He isn't human, but he doesn't have a hard time passing
for one - usually.
What he really is hasn't come to light yet. |
|
|
|
Ivan
Churney - Anna Bloom's reluctant mentor, he is a time
traveler and a magician- or a time traveling magician?- anyway,
apparently he was born centuries earlier and spends most of his
time at a point in the distant, distant
future. He seems reluctuant to use his magical prowess for
much more beyond the occasional flashy entrance-- not
without reason. He is the last of the black Veksun, a desert
sect that worshipped the goddess h'Kani in
some spectacularly horrible ways. The only person he seems to have
any fellow feeling for is the witch Troy, who once referred
to him as her big brother. |
|
|
|
Ellen
Cricklewood - She works at a bookstore near CC's coffee
shop. |
|
|
|
Izzy
Ursula Cutter (Lt.) - Izzy appears both as a teenaged
girl and as an adult woman. As an adult, she is an officer at
some sort of refugee camp/ militia type thing, dreaming about living
in a nightmare world as a teenager. Or is she? |
|
|
|
Julian
Delmar - After that opening scene with Medea, Julian Delmar
has reappeared as a capable young woman on some sort of task
force. Adopted after being orphaned as a toddler, there have
been a few hints dropped about the identities of her parents. |
|
|
|
Steven
Delmar (Sergeant) - during armageddon
girl, he's Hazel's boss at the police station. He's one
of the players during a murder
of men, and he's the man who adopts Trace Flood's orphaned
daughter, Julian. And... he's somehow mixed up in one of Danny
Relston's alternate lives...? |
|
|
|
John
Diondel - Once the right hand
man of Colonel Alexander of DEEP, John now finds himself struggling
to escape the very fortress he controls. And he is dying. |
|
|
|
Juni
Ellis - This unhappy young woman is the latest protege
of a long dynasty of super powered crime fighters. Everyone seems
eager to point out to her how much she doesn't measure up to her
predecessors and that her recent promotion was pretty much a fluke,
although she's acknowledged to have been at the top of her class.
She has some unexplained history with the Skinned
Man that seems central to whatever trouble it is that she's
supposed to have put behind her. Also, later, she's part of prison
planet |
|
|
|
Pamela
Ellis - Proceeded Juni Ellis as the EB by about 12-15
years. Touted as the greatest EB ever, it's also apparent that
she has problems of her own. |
|
|
|
Charity
C. Ellsworth - The illegitimate daughter of late master
magician Rick Ellsworth, Charity is just trying to lead an ordinary
life. Andrea is doing her best to make this difficult. |
|
|
|
Trace
(Tracey E.) Flood - more than merely a corpse,
Trace served Danny Relston as his pet
magician and was the mother to one of his daughters, Julian
(named, strangely enough, after her own mother, who Trace apparently betrayed.) |
|
|
|
Ginger
- She doesn't... remind you of anyone, does she? And isn't
it a bit odd that her past seems to take place, well, in the future? |
|
|
|
Lena
Gwenith - Married to the Grand Duke during the
last years before the Revolution, Lena managed somehow to escape
the terror that struck down most of the country's monarchists -
and somehow has managed not to age in the intervening years. She
spent many years in hiding as the mistress of a crimelord,
before plotting his takedown with the help of Danny Relston. She
served the city for years as Relston's second in command, although
it appears that Relston eventually did
away with her. Like her son, Ty, Lena is also an Arkadian,
but she never seems to use those abilities. |
|
|
|
Ty
Gwenith - An Arkadian, Ty can change shape from a man
to a wolf. He has a very bitter relationship with his mother,
Lena Gwenith. He once worked as a policeman, but he's on the run
from the City's Secret Police, DEEP. Eventually, he winds up imprisoned in
the Polly D, the fortress that houses DEEP's headquarters. |
|
|
|
Cybil
Lattimer - Cybil was sent on some sort of quest to
the south and, with that behind her, she is now on her way
to the City to reunite with her twin sister, Tilda. Unfortunately,
she's
been sidetracked by rescuing John Rask. Also, she claims that she's
under a number of curses. |
|
|
|
Jess
Marlowe - a.k.a. The Widow.
(did I ruin the surprise?) Everything about her is probably going
to be hearsay. Supposed to be empathic and
it's rumored that she killed her parents. |
|
|
|
Tess
Miller - She's a robot, and also possibly a plant inside
the new civil government, working for what's left of an old monarchist
group. She's also been badly in need of repairs since sustaining
significant damage to her exterior during the Revolution. |
|
|
|
Medea -
A young woman with an uncontrollable temper and little impulse control,
Medea apparently had some assassin training before she fled the City
for the surrounding forests - although
the reasons behind that flight are still unclear. Also unclear is
the nature of the key that she carries
which so troubles her commanding officer, Izzy Cutter. Or what this
tattoo means. |
|
|
|
John
Rask - He just isn't a nice person. He is an embezzeler,
a killer, and a nationalist terrorist as well as a police agent
inserted into a nationalist terrorist organization. Although his
fortunes have taken a turn for the worse recently.
Apparently, his destiny is about
to catch up
with
him. |
|
|
|
Molly
Shue - A young policewoman who has an unexplained aversion
to sunlight. She is the new assistant to Detective Hazel Silverton.
Has some unexplored tie to Trace Flood. |
|
|
|
Hazel
Silverton (Detective) - Hazel works for the police in
the dubiously titled "Thaumatic Investigations" branch.
I suspect she and her assistant, Molly Shue, may be the entire
compliment of TI personnel. There has as of yet been no
explaination as to what exactly this department does. |
|
|
|
Emma
Starkadder - aka "Hammer" - Currently
the commander of a task force that deals with extra-normal threats,
Emma has an admittedly checkered past, although what those checkers
are aren't entirely clear. She was once one of Troy's witches,
but that, like many things in Emma's life, ended badly. Emma has
an adopted son, fellow task force-er David
Worth . |
|
|
|
Haviland
Stewart - Professor, magician, master criminal. Functionally
blind, Haviland rebuilt his own eyes. Apparently he has a compulsion
for fixing up other people as well, as he both rebuilds his (future)
wife's brain and years later, is the man who fits Ginger with her prosthetic
limbs . |
|
|
|
Lisa
(Fletcher) Stewart - Haviland's imaginary wife, or maybe
I should say the woman who imagines herself to be his wife. A terrible
accident left this young woman with a badly damaged brain which
for some reason Haviland Stewart did his best to repair... with
some unforseen side effects. Jetta had a run in with Lisa, pre-brain
injury . |
|
|
|
Jetta
Zarfos - Yesterday, on an
alternate timeline, she had a boyfriend and a best friend.
Something happened to her, and now she's stuck on this timeline,
her best friend no longer exists, and she is struggling to discover
the fate of the boyfriend she no longer ever had. Or something
like that? She also aquired some special effects and a very, very
large cat. |
