The following is a list and some minor (public) details of some of the personalities/protagonists/antagonists/general-NPC's of some of the people and Eldritch that reside in and around the Metro Area. As such, only somewhat widely known public information will be placed here (Player Characters/Protagonists will likely have a little bit of info provided based on how well known they are among Everlasting Society). Note that the Everlasting by their nature will be more knowledgeable about others of their kind, and Fantasts (mortals who can sense or have some sort of a connection to the Reverie or Spirit World will also be much more knowledgeable but yet less-so than the actual Everlasting. As such I will be using a system to indicate what information is known by most Mortals (indicated by an "M"), by most Fantasts (indicated by an "F"), by most Everlasting/Eldritch (indicated by an "E"), as well as known only by those Eldritch/Everlasting that are of the same Gentes (same race of eldritch as the being that the information is about, which will be indicated by a "G"). Not all of the important NPC's will appear on the below list (as some try to keep themselves out of the public eye, and as such there won't be much if any public information about them). Likewise most of the Player-Characters/Protagonists will appear on the below list, but without any indication that they are player-characters (such that when you talk to someone in-game you may not know if they are a character run by another player or if they are a Non-Player Character (and thus run by me). Likewise, since the below information is "public" information, some of it may not be correct. [[as one of my favorite quotes sums this up nicely- by Verbal Kint from the movie "The Usual Suspects"- "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist."]]
All of the listed people who are portraid within this page as well as others on this site are fictitious, and any similarities between them and real people or beings (living, dead, or yet to be born) are purely coincidental. Nearly all pictures have been pulled from www.photo.net, which is a great resource for photos of average and ordinary looking people.

M:
F/E:
Aleria Hallecet-
M: Owner of Hallecet Antiques, a two-story brick building located in the "downtown" area of the Highlands District. She deals in rare and hard to locate antiques, as well as true Antiquities (ancient artwork and artifacts), as well as exotic weapons (antique firearms and melee weapons). She appears to be in her late 30's, yet has eyes that give the impression of having seen the world and having wisdom beyond that of the wisest of men. She is about 5' 6" tall, with shoulder length dark-brown hair and an obvious scar that crosses her face from her lower left cheek to her right temple. Her figure is fairly muscular but yet with well-defined feminine curves, yet she possesses strength and grace that is unusual. Her origin/nationality is very difficult to tell due to her hair color not matching her vaguely southern Asia facial features (almost a cross between Oriental and Native American).
F/E: She is a fiercely independent Daeva, not belonging to any household and refusing to fall in line with anyone else's rules or laws. Some refer to her as "The Hell-Cat" which she plays up, with her nearly barbaric temper and outspoken opinion. She speaks more than five-dozen different languages, every one of them fluently, some of which have been dead longer than most Everlasting have been in existence or that no one else alive has ever heard of. Her memory of truly ancient times is far from perfect, and she generally will not discuss events of the past unless her knowledge is crucial to some cause which she is willing to help out with.
.
Angie Cordova-
M: She is somewhat thin and pale with long dark hair. Working as a waitress at the Black Cat jazz club in the Hub district of the metro area. She kinda keeps to herself most of the time, but yet is very friendly and customer oriented, however never talks to them beyond taking their orders and serving those orders. She rides a small motorcycle (older Honda 750) and lives someplace else within the Metro area (doesn't give an address and if asked says that she moves every couple of months anyways). She usually dresses in heavy black woolen clothing, although she will sometimes wear other materials and in other colors (but that is rare).
F/E:
.
.
.
Angue Z-
M: Angelique Genevieve Zeringue ("Angue Z." as her friends and the locals call her), is a small woman of African/Creole decent, at about 5' tall and about 110 pounds, with medium length black hair that is usually braided into corn-rows. Her family had moved up to the Midwest from Louisiana in pursuit of a better life in the industrial growth of the area in the early days of Industrial Revolution, thus she does not have much of the old Creole accent. She was raised in a poor family, where her mother worked two jobs as a cook in some of the local restaurants around the metro area and her dad worked on the docks when he was young, but was injured and was unable to work (had a severe limp and bad back due to a crate of equipment falling on him when it was being unloaded from a boat when Angue was very young). Both of her parents passed away quite a few years ago in a fire, when the run-down house the rented burned down at night while Angue was staying the night at a friend's house when she was in high school. Angue then moved in with her grandmother who lived on the ground floor of a four-story building in a part of the Metro area that is dominated by lower class residential and retail (Waterfront District, although a bit off of the waterfront). It had various shops on the first floor and apartments on the upper three floors. Her grandmother ("Grammy" as she was called) owned a small shop that dealt in occult and metaphysical goods and which she performed fortune telling and tarot readings in a back room for the locals (called "Zeringue Metaphysics"). She also lived in another back room on the ground floor of this building with a small kitchenette area off of it. The owner of the building had given Grammy a major break on her rent for the shop and apartment for several years in exchange for her managing the building for him (he was a wealthy man who had made most of his money in the oil industry and had moved away many years earlier), but when he died about 15 years ago, he left the building to Grammy Zeringue in his will. When she died about 7 years ago, Angelique inherited it and continued on the business. Since the large building is primarily empty, she has converted part of it into a homeless shelter and soup kitchen for some of the cities poor, which is called "Bread and Beds". She actively does fundraising in the community to raise funds to cover much of the costs associated with the homeless shelter and soup kitchen. There are several regular volunteers who help her out, as well as a few well off individuals who help with donations to keep the place open.
F/E: She is a "Fantast" that practices Voudoun magick as well as also supplying goods to others who follow the various Pagan beliefs. Among her very community oriented activities, she also helps new Fantasts who have only recently discovered their talents to learn and cope with these talents. She is also on occasion contacted by members of the Everlasting to help out with information and such, which she will usually do if it is for the good of humanity.
Antonio Cortez-
M: Antonio is one of those people who speaks very little, but yet listens very well. As such he has learned to put that skill to good use as a bartender at the Black Cat jazz club, located in the Hub district of the Metro area. He always seems to know what is going on around the the Metro area in politics, news, social events, and a variety of other things. However he does not give this information up to just anyone or without a good reason. If things get out of hand, he is willing to back up the bouncers and keeps a baseball bat behind the bar (out of sight, but always within reach). Some say that he used to play minor league ball but had gotten shot in a bar brawl which ended his career, which would make sense as he walks with a slight limp and tends to avoid putting too much weight on his left leg.
F/E:
.
.
Antonio Mendoza-
M: He is a late middle-aged hispanic and wealthy business man of average build and average height with a very suave and charismatic manner. He has short black hair and appears very clean cut and proper. He can occasionally be seen touring his stores, Mendoza Markets (there are about 40 of them and the number is slowly increasing with a new location opening each year). This is a large chain store that handles groceries, household goods, clothing, and a wide variety of other items (very similar tothe Meijer chian out of Grand Rapids, MI (for those who are from the Great Lakes area), except his operation is a little smaller). However he spends most of his time at the distribution center, which is made up of three large warehouses that cover an entire very-large city block in one of the southern suburbs (Frampton Woods). The entire complex is fenced in and the area is fairly well lit (except for a section that is not visible from the road between two of the buildings, which is where the offices are located). The warehouses are nearly surrounded by loading docks and two of them are multi-leveled. He is fairly well known around the Metro area due to his wealth.
.
.
Barney Gordon-
M: He is second in charge of campus security at Masterson University. Barney is a moderately tall and stocky man with short dark-brown hair and eyes and a serious personality that frequently works the off hours on campus, where he is able to keep an eye on all that goes on around the university.
F/E: He is a Dhampir, a half-mortal/half-vampire hybrid being. He is not associated with the Court of Night at all, some suspect that his master is Min Kwon as they appear to be intimately involved and she is also a very independant Vampire who stays out of the Court of Night's dealings and political rivalries. But he keeps to himself and does not generally associate with other members of Everlasting society. Being a Dhampir also allows him to be able to mingle within mortal society quite easily and discreetly.
.
.
.
Bart Oleander-
M: The leader of the Southwest Metro "Pack", a large gang that has several different groups that are all allied together and help one another when needed. Many of their members ride motorcycles, often older and modified Harley-Davidson machines and the like, with the gang primarily being thugs that deal in drugs and other small-time vice related activities. He is a somewhat short but muscular guy (5'6", 185 lb) with shoulder length dark hair that is thinning and graying and always seems to have about two-days of stubble on his face.
F/E: He is a Varge, as are most of the higher ranking members of "The Pack".
.
.
.
Ben Bernoudy-
M: A small-scale loan shark, numbers runner, and low life who has his hands into the pockets of many of the poor locally, as well as owner of a small run-down bar called "Ben's" (which is located in (and rented from) the large building owned by Angelique Z., located in the Waterfront District). Ben is 5' 10" and weighs about 195 pounds, being of slightly stocky build. He has short-cropped black hair that is thinning. He is untrustworthy and self-centered and tends to treat other people very poorly (unless he is trying to get on their good side for a financial reason).
F/E:
.
.
"Big" Ben Volgeurd-
M: He is the leader of the West-Central Metro Pack. He is a tall and extremely large man (6'7" 400lb), and is very muscular but due to being of "hefty" (i.e. a considerable layer of fat over his very powerful and stocky frame) build he appears just huge. He has long reddish-brown hair with a long beard and moustache and a considerable amounts of body hair. He is the main "Enforcer" within The Pack, even to the point of dealing with members of other branches, and his group handles some of the most brutal "jobs" and situations that The Pack gets involved with. But then his group covers not only the city of Thaircoille but also the Foundry, Hub and Riverbend Districts of Bayside; which tend to be the toughest regions of the entire metro area.
F/E: He is a Varge, as are most of the higher ranking members of "The Pack".
.
.
.
Berona Velencia Caterona-
M: Owner of the Caterona Gallery, an art gallery specializing in strange and exotic art, as well as rare antiquities. Berona is of average height and somewhat thin but curvy build, with long black hair and pale skin. She is quiet most of the time; however she is not afraid of speaking her mind. Her gallery is in an old stone building with few windows and a very solid structure, in one of the more elite neighborhoods of the Metro area (Argyle Hills). With the gallery being in the front on the first two floors of the building, with storage in the back 2/3 on the two lower floors. Meanwhile her living quarters are located on the third floor of the building. Her knowledge of antiquities is amazing, as is her abilit when it comes to being able to track down and get a hold of such artifacts.
F/E: She is an elder Tantalusi Vampire who has been around since the early Roman Empire. She keeps abreast of what goes on in the Court of Night, while she is not one of the "Nobles" she is trusted by and has the ear of ancient Revenant named Gram Gorham, the "King" of the Court of Night, and is always watching to be sure that any plots and power-struggles that go on never get too out of hand.
.
.
Bradley "Brad" Goodlow-
M: Owner of pair of large bookstore/coffeeshop places with a heavy middle eastern theme to their decor. The primary location of "Shahrazad's Library" (as the places are called) is just off the campus of State University, with the seconed location having opened only a ocuple of years ago next to Masterson University. These places sell books, games, music, software, coffee and other drinks and snack foods, middle eastern art, as well as unusual collector items. There is also wireless internet available within the building, that is available to anyone making a purchase (even a coffee is sufficient to use it for extended periods of time). There is always soft music (usually of a middle eastern theme, but sometimes other types will be played, such as instrumental folk music from other cultures such as India, Celtic, Native American, or Asian) playing in the stores in such a way that it helps to muffle the noise of people talking and allows for ease of reading without disturbance. They are very popular hangouts of the college students at the two universities and are open from noon till 8:00 PM Sunday through Thursday, and 10:00 AM till midnight on Friday and Saturday. The location next to State University is an older three-story brick building, while the one next to Masterson University is a smaller (but still moderate sized) two-level brick building. His living quarters and the businesses offices are located on third level of the State University location. He also has a large room at each location set up with tables that is right next to the coffee shop areas (but through a doorway with beads covering it that very little sound seems to travel through) which he allows gamers (RPGers, War-gamers, CCGers, etc.) to use whenever the store is open as long as they make some sort of a purchase (there is a signup sheet to reserve each of the different tables for games for periods of time as needed). He is a tall and lanky man with long thin hair of a blue-gray sheen, deep green eyes, and Caucasian-like skin but yet has middle-eastern features. He dresses in long flowing clothing that is usually of purple or silver with an almost psychedelic print, and has a very flamboyant personality to match his unusual clothing. He spends much of his time in the store, wandering around helping customers, which is unusual for an operation of its size for the owner and manager to take such a keen and personal interest in personally helping his customers, and he tries to instill this same sense of extreme focus into his employees. Likewise his flamboyant personality shows through both in this extreme customer focus and his being an extremely emotional person, laughing with enthusiasm at jokes that are only so-so and breaking down into teards when he hears tragic or sad tales from his employees and customers.
F/E: Bradley is actually an Ajam Djinn who is a master at disguising himself as a human, who has been around since before human history. However unlike most Ajam, he is one of the rare Ajam who is a Solarian in his outlook and views on life and the universe, and as such works against the evil that his Lunarian brethren and the Efrit are so bent on spreading. As with most Djinn, he is a creature of extreme emotion (as is the trademark of all Djinn), when he laughs, he laughs with a boisterousness that is nearly unmatched by mortals, when he hears a customer tell a sad or tragic story, he will burst out in tears, he always acts like his is excited about everything he does and everything that is going on around him, thus is "flamboyant" personality mentioned above.
Candice Pollard-
M: She is the leader of the Northwest Metro Pack; the only one that is lead by a female, although not many will risk making an issue of it. She is a tall and stocky woman (6' 200lb) with a deep voice, to the point of being somewhat masculine. She has thick, long and dark hair to match her fiery personality. She is afraid of nothing and will never back down from a fight even if the odds are against her (although she prefers to make sure that the odds are in her favor before getting into the fight in the first place).
F/E: She is a Varge, as are most of the higher ranking members of "The Pack".
.
.
.
Charlotte Liebentritt-
M: She is a middle aged woman of German origin, about 5'6" and 145 pounds, with medium dark-blond hair that moved to the area about 4 years ago and rented one of the smaller empty shops in Angelique's building (in the Waterfront District) as well as one of the apartments in the building. She is outspoken and enjoys being around people, thus her choice of businesses when she inherited a little over a quarter million dollars from her late husband (life-insurance and assets) just prior to her moving to the area from the east coast. She decided that since she didn't have much family and her and her former husband never had any kids that she would move to a new area and open up a small coffee shop and café, named "Pot-o-Beans" where she would serve good quality food for a reasonable price and get to know new people and try to help out the local community. The food she serves is all organic, as are all the coffees and many of the other drinks. The place is painted in bright colors, but the lights are kept dim in the evenings with candles supplying the majority of the light, thus making it a quiet and romantic place for couples to go for an inexpensive dinner (even though it is in one of the more run down parts of the city, the place stays semi-busy). Charlotte is involved in all aspects of the business, both due to it being a struggling business that just barely breaks even and because she likes to interact with her customers, as well as wanting to keep busy and play an active role in everything that goes on. On occasion poets and musicians will perform for the patrons, and in exchange, she provides them with dinner and drinks, as it helps to draw in people and add to the ambiance of the place.
.
Cletus Maynard-
M: Primary owner of the Omni Industrial Corp, a very large technology company that develops and manufactures as well as maintains weapon systems for the U.S. military, as well as security systems for high-profile locations, and other high-tech military and security related equipment. They also do some work for the airline industry as well as satellite design and construction for various governments and communications companies around the world. They have manufacturing locations in both the Bay View District of Lakeview as well as in the Eastside District of Bayside; with their headquarters and R&D work being done in one of the high-rises in the Finance District. This company even though it is very large is very private and keeps a very low public profile. It is 70% owned by Cletus Maynard. Cletus is one of those people who inherited his wealth and has never done a real days work in his life. He is generally thought of as being very naive and uneducated. He is a lean man with clean-cut dusty (grey speckles) dark hair and pale complexion. The company offices are located in one of the high-rises in the downtown business/finance district of the Metro area, with a few manufacturing and research facilities (part of the high-rise is also dedicated to research) around the Metro area. When he is out in public, there are often several attractive women hanging around him, and these women often vary from one day to the next. He is widely concidered to be one of the top and most desired "available bachelors" in the Metro area due to his wealth and somewhat suave appearance.
F/E:
Conrad Davis-
M: A detective in the Homicide Division of the Metro Police (as the cities in the Metro area all have a combined Police Force that grew out of them trying to work together to provide better coverage in recent years due to the downturn of the local enconomy as the manufacturing industries have been slowly dwindling in the region). He has been involved recently in a case, or rather a set of cases, in which some of the Metro Area's less desireable's (child molestors, murderers, rapists, etc.) have been brutally murdered. This is a very touchy case, as there are rarely any witnesses, and when there are, they usually talk of things that are so far fetched that most think the stories are made up (and the police will not generally talk about them). While some people actually think that whomever this mysterious vigilante is, is doing the people of the Metro Area a favor and should be respected, others feel that this is simply wrong and that sooner or later, whomever this is may kill an inocent, or wonder where the line needs to be drawn. Meanwhile the media is having heyday with these occasional murders and is striking fear into the hearts of many people.
F/E:
.
.
Daniel VelMarnes-
M: Daniel is a tall and lanky man with short dark and thining hair who always dresses in a dark business suit and caries a cane with a large iron hook on the end. He walks with a suave and graceful manner and always speaks as if from the highest and most noble lineage. He is one of the primary partners who owns Midwest Petroleum, a large privately held company that has several small to medium sized oil refineries and petrochemical plants around the midwest.
F/E:
.
.
.
.
Deimos VanMarden-
M: He is a very private, reclusive, and wealthy individual that generally tries to stay out of the public eye. However when he is seen in public, he is a tall and suave man with light brown hair (appears to be of Dutch decent) that typically has an entourage of women surrounding him. He is one of the Metro Area's welathy and owns Image Management Incorporated, a large and diverse company dealing in advertising, marketing consulting, and management of celebrity and sports personalities as an agent. He is also the owner of a semi-professional hockey team in the area, the Grand Isle Penguins that play at the Grand Isle Arena (which he also owns) in the Grand Isle District (which is also where his estate is located at). The rare occasions when he does come out in public is for major events such as some of his hockey team's home-games, as well as special events involving his company or involving clients of his (movie stars, television personalities, or big name athletes). The main office for IMI is in one of the high-rises in the Finance District, with other offices located in other cities around the Midwest
F/E:
.
.
Dominic Schultz-
M: Dominic is tall with shoulder-length dark hair and angular features. He is usually dressed in formal business suits during the day while plying his trade as a Corporate Consultant, specializing in helping to solve and work out personal and social related issues within the corporate world for his clients. This is done using LIfe Coaching and Feng Shui, as well as other pseudo-sciences as needed to help with whatever problems his clients come to him with. In the evenings however he is a very active member of the Metro Area's nightlife, especially in the goth/techno clubs and scene. He is fairly well known in both the corporate world as well as among the denizens of the goth/techno nighlife of the city. He also tends to have the latest in technological gadgets and toys and is knowledgeable about modern and computer technology, despite his background in the more social and psychological fields.
F/E: Those who have an eye to the less obvious and can sense such things know that he is actually a Xeysori Elf, who is pretty good at hiding his true nature from the mortals who he deals with on a pretty regular basis.
.
Dorn Diaz-
M: Very little is known about him, other than he is one of the many homeless bums that lives around the Metro area. Although he seems to travel around more than most other homeless people. He also tends to spend a modest amount of time around the northern suburbs, especially Springfield. He is a somewhat tall and stocky man with long dark hair and facial stubble, usually dressed in ragged-looking second-hand clothing.
F/E:
.
.
.
.
Ed McCormeran-
M: Very little is known about Ed, other than the fact that he lives out on the streets of the Foundry District, next to one of the old industrial neighborhoods that is primarily made up of vacant industrial buildings. He is not very social, and can sometimes be found pan-handling or playing his violin for donations near one of the subway entrances in the area, looking for handouts of money or food. Rumors are that he had once been the owner or a mid-level manager of one of the businesses in the Foundry District, but with the slow decline of the manufacturing businesses in the midwest, his business collapsed and as such, he lost everything. He is a man of late-middle age, with a short and thin (bordering on sickly looking) stature, with long but thining gray hair and beard that looks like it hasn't been groomed in more than a decade. He walks with a slight limp and wears two layers of old and ratty looking trench coats during the colder winter months. He can occasionally be seen at some of the homeless shelters around the Metro area.
F/E: There are rumors that he may be a fantast and as such knows things and sees things that most mortals do not. He is also very knowledgeable about what goes on among the dregs of society. Those who have strong senses within the Reverie can sense that there is something unusual about him, but generally can not place what it is.
.
Erin Rource-
M: Owner of An Tábhairne ("The Pub" in Gaelic), a large Celtic Restaurant and bar located along the outer edge of the Metro area just outside Willowvale on a large wooded piece of land (about one square mile in size) that is surrounded on three sides by a large state owned and protected nature preserve- "Willowvale Nature Preserve". The structure of the establishment is a pair of very large and interconnected Geodesic domes and is set up as a modern version of the old Public Houses that the ancient Irish nobility used to have set up along busy roads in the early days, with a huge central fire to warm yourself from the wet weather. She is a fairly tall woman of moderate (stocky) build with long and thick reddish-brown hair. Most of the time she comes across as being very quiet and disciplined, however when there is a reason for her to voice her opinion, her fiery and outspoken personality shows through. She is fearless and generally doesn't back down from a situation unless it is clear that she is outmatched or outnumbered.
F/E: She is an ancient Daeva of the Tuatha Dé Danann household and An Tábhairne is officially a "neutral" meeting place for any Everlasting. Due to the nature of her business, she is one of the most connected and well-known of the regions Everlasting. The Pub is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week; however it is typically nearly empty of mortals after about 2:30 AM due to alcohol serving restrictions. Thus early morning it is nearly empty except for a few Everlasting and the remaining drunks eating breakfast and trying to sober up. Her home is located back in the woods from her place of business and is decorated with a wide variety of Celtic arts, as well as an extensive assortment of swords and Medieval weapons many of which she is accomplished at wielding. This manor is also a huge geodesic dome similar to her restaurant.
Frederic (Freddie) Cornwall-
M: He is one of the many cab-drivers who is part owner/operator of Independent Cab, a small group of independent taxi drivers who pool their resources so that they can compete with the two larger companies in the city. He is a little above average height and of stocky build, with thinning (nearly bald on top) light brown hair and a moustache and appears to be in his late thirties. He spends a considerable amount of time when off-duty helping out with various community service type activities for one of the larger Catholic Cathedrals within the Metro area. He lives in a small apartment in a rough part of town and knows his way around the Metro Area very well.
F/E: He is the great grandson of one of the early grail knights and is himself a grail knight and Quester that has been alive for nearly a millennia.
.
.
.
Gabriel Terimon-
M: Local Entrepreneur and businessman around the Metro Area. He owns AriTech Software, Gabriel Broadcasting, and Gabriel Cablevision, Inc. He is a small and thin man of African decent who is of middle age with short hair who wears glasses.
AriTech Software- a large software firm that produces both custom and mass produced business software, as well as having a "games" division that produces several "first person shooter" type games a year, as well as getting ready to release a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game with a very "dark" flavor to it, called "Shadows Online". Their main offices are located in the finance/business district of the Metro area on several floors of one of the smaller high-rises there.
Gabriel Broadcasting is comprised of 3 classic rock, 3 rap, 1 alternative rock, 1 jazz, 1 talk/news, 3 pop, 2 easy listening, 4 country, and 1 classical radio stations that operate around the Midwest.
Gabriel Cablevision, Inc. is a fairly large cable company that has a coverage area spread out throughout the Midwest and is one of the primary cable TV companies in the Metro Area.
F/E: Some Everlasting and Fantasts who can sense such things can sense that he is not Mortal, but are unable to tell what Gente he might be, and he refuses to talk about it, always replying "I don't know what you are talking about" with a confused look on his face.
.
Mr. Conley-
M: He is the caretaker of Varentos Gardens and Museum, a huge public garden in the Highlands District (minimal charge or yearly membership to enter, as well as being partially funded by several wealthy individuals) with a very large manner set in the middle of the huge estate that now acts as a museum. It had at one time been the home of a wealthy businessman (Garlan Varentos) from the 1800's who never had any heirs and set up a trust to keep it as a historical museum showing how the Metro Area used to be and how it has changed over the years, and public park for others to enjoy. He tends to show very little emotion and is a quiet and almost anti-social individual. He is somewhat tall and somewhat stocky oriental man, with a clean-shaven head and very little obvious body hair. His skin however has an almost grayish color to it, and is somewhat cool to the touch, resulting in it being difficult to tell his apparent age, some have thought him to be quite young while others think he is quite old. He typically wears worn and faded blue jeans and plain gray, green, or white tee shirts, as well as steel-toed leather work-boots. He is often somewhat dirty and dust covered especially his hands and clothing due to his work as the caretaker of Varentos Gardens and Museum. He maintains an apartment in the basement of the old manor house that serves as the museum.
F/E: He is really a gargoyle who takes on a new form every few decades and changes control of the estate to this new form. He was also the original Garlan Varentos, who had faked his death to throw off those who became suspicious after seeing more than they should have. Unlike many gargoyles, he doesn't have wings nor the levitation ability of most and thus can not fly.
Gary Peterson-
M: He is a maintenance worker down in the "steam tunnels" under the campus of Masterson University. He is a small but stocky man with short dark brown hair. He has a sense of humor that never stops and is always joking with those around him. He rents a small apartment right near the campus, but rarely ever spends any time there as most of his time is spent in the steam tunnels on campus.
F/E: He is a "warm-blood" revenant who is an ally of Min Kwon and helps her to keep control of the local scene around the campus. His true appearance (to anyone who can look very far into the Reverie) is that of a severely decaying corpse.

George Gevier-
M: One of the original Partners for the Ieto, Gevier, Barglon, & Associates law firm that handles some high-end clients that want to stay out of the media and public eye. Their main office is located in one of the high-rises of the Finance district. George is a tall and stocky man with thin blond hair and blue eyes, obviously of Norse lineage with an accent that at times can be somewhat heavy. He tends to be quiet and introverted most of the time.
F/E: He is a Vanir Daeva, that not a lot is known about outside of his friends, as he is a fairly private individual. Some of the associate members of the law firm are human minions of these three, as are a few of the private investigators that they sometimes use. On rare occasions they also use Jerome Bankow (or "G.B." as he likes to be called) for "special" jobs through his Springfield Investigations company.
.
.
Gil Braymer-
M: Not much is known about Gil so far as he new to the Metro area and was only hired on as a bouncer at the Black Cat jazz club a couple of weeks ago. His references checked out by the owner of the club though, he had served as a bouncer at a club in Cincinnati for a few years but left town due to having a run-in with the leader of some street gang there, as well as having worked as a body guard for a short time for the Rolling Stones several years earlier during one of their North American tours). He is a very solid and stocky man who knows how to use his massive body and strength to deal with troublemakers.
F/E:

Ginger Barglon-
M: One of the original Partners for the Ieto, Gevier, Barglon, & Associates law firm that handles some high-end clients that want to stay out of the media and public eye. Their main office is located in one of the high-rises of the Finance district. Ginger is a somewhat tall and thin woman (who looks too young to be one of the parnters in such a high-profile law firm) with shoulder length and wavy brown hair, green eyes, and a dominering voice that she uses effectively to influence others.
F/E: She is a Bathora vampire (and as such is not affected by being out in the light of day and is able to blend in with mortal society fairly easily), who stays out of the public eye of mortals, but who is one of the "Nobles" of the Metro Area's Court of Night. Some of the associate members of the law firm are human minions of these three, as are a few of the private investigators that they sometimes use. On rare occasions they also use Jerome Bankow (or "G.B." as he likes to be called) for "special" jobs through his Springfield Investigations company.
.
.
Giuseppe Galeazzo-
M: He is a tall and slighltly heavy-set man with short dark hair and a bushy moustach, usually seen in public wearing his uniform, as he is very serious about his job as the Chief of the Metro Area Police. Unlike a lot of other large metro area's, here the different cities all contribute funds to maintain a single police department that has jurisdiction within all the communitities that make up the Metro area.
F/E:

Greg Daemon-
M: He is a reporter for the major local newspaper (the "Metro Times", which has its offices in the Finance District, but operates its printing operations out of the Hub District). who does most of his work from behind the scenes, but who aticles are very popular with the common people as he deals with a lot of the dirty dealings and corruption within the city, as such most of those in politics are very distrustful of him. He is a small and very thin man with long black hair and a ruddy complexion, and is very inquisitive and does not back down.
F/E: In reality he is an Ekimmus Revenant, who does most of his work from behind the scenes, but who's articles are very popular with the common people as he deals with a lot of the dirty dealings within the city. He appears as a normal human (he is a "warm-blood") who scours the streets in the rougher neighborhoods for information regarding dirty dealings and unethical information, which he sometimes uses for his stories, but more often than not uses as blackmail to gain power over the mortals within the region. His superhuman strength and abilities sometimes show, however he usually covers them up through various means and generally does most of his activites in the rougher neighborhoods and often after dark.
.
.
Greg Torrance-
M: He is the owner of Torrance Sporting Goods, which is a large sporting goods store located in the Clearwater District of the Metro area, as well as three smaller stores in Frampton Woods, Thaircoille, and the Riverside district of Lakeview. While he deals in nearly any type of sports equipment, these stores are well known for their complete stock of guns and ammo, as well as other less conventional weaponry. He is a tall and muscular man with long dark brown hair and a thick beard and bushy moustache. He usually wears blue jeans and tee shirts or sometimes leathers. He is also a member of a small motorcycle gang called the "Storm Riders" led by a guy called "Zeus", with all of the members having various styles of tattoo's showing lightning bolts and such in obvious locations.
F/E: Those who can sense auras or can see into the Reverie, can sense that Greg is a Wer, however he keeps to himself and refuses to talk to other Everlasting about it.
.
.
Gunter Radilon-
M: He is a widely listened to radio personality late at night on an independent blues radio station in the Metro Area. Desite his very public voice and being well known, he is a very private and reclusive person when not on the air and as such is almost never seen in public.
F/E: Günter Radilon is actually a Sarkomenos Revenant who uses his radio show to spread news about the goings on of the Court of Night using subtle words that mortals never seem to catch. Whenever he makes an appearance in public within Everlasting society, he always hides behind a plain white mask; however he possesses a tall and stocky body of a deceased man of African decent. He has long black dreadlocks that can be seen hanging down from behind the mask when he is not wearing a hood. He usually dresses all in black with either a long trench coat or a long cape (sometimes with a hood pulled up over his head) worn over heavy and often worn looking clothing. He rarely ever gets involved with direct happenings within Everlasting society however; primarily living within a large old brick apartment building which he owns that is located right next to the large office building where the radio station that he works the graveyard shift at is located. He is very reclusive most of the time, and is rarely seen outside of his building or the office building next door.
Hammer-
M: Very little is know about this reclulsive individual, other than he is one of two partners in a small speciality software firm called "Spike & Hammer Software" which is a company that deals in specialty software applications as well as small custom online games. The two owners are known only as "Spike" and "Hammer", and are rarely ever seen in public, as they operate out of a very old and run down industrial building in the Foundry District. Due to his heavy use of computers and the Internet, he seems to have almost no direct human contact, other than through on-line.
F/E: Hammer is actually a gargoyle with a simulacrum of stone so avoids being out in public even more than Spike does. He is tall and very stocky with bat-like wings, grayish stony skin, and no body hair at all. He goes out at night for short periods of time to feed on the sins of low-life scum that can be found around the streets in that and other rougher neighborhoods of the metro area. But otherwise doesn't go out unless he is disguised in a long trench coat with a high collar that is long enough to hide his true nature and a hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled up over his head. In this form, mortals generally see him only as a huge and dangerous looking individual that is best to stay away from. Hammer is quiet and introverted, rarely speaking to anyone, and when he is chatting with people on-line he still says very little, using very short and to the point answers that show no emotion.
Anyone who has been inside of their lair has seen that they do not use conventional computer equipment, but instead Hammer uses a large keyboard with oversized keys as well as speech recognition software. While Spike uses two heavily modified keyboards simultaneously (he can type and carry on two separate conversations at one time online in this way). In addition to doing specialized programming for customers who are willing to pay top dollar for their services, they also run a small MMORPG, which is not openly advertised or sold. This game is downloadable only through their web site, which is not publicized and is moderately expensive, then there is a monthly fee for using it that is much higher than any more public MMORPG available.
Harl Dugan-
M: He is the leader of the Southeast Metro "Pack", and the twin brother of Parn Dugan. Both of these men appear as average height men with stocky builds (5'10" 220lb). Parn has shoulder length dark brown hair while Harl has the same color hair that runs half way down his back. Harl has a bushy moustache while Parn has a full and somewhat bushy beard. Both of them usually dress in black leather with liberal use of spikes and chains to give the appearance of being bad-asses. However this appearance is an understatement, as they are both fearless and of course are very experienced in brawling and gang fighting/warfare. Sometimes though the tone down their appearance and dress in more normal clothing.
F/E: He is a Varge, as are most of the higher ranking members of "The Pack".
.
.
Hendrick VanOrden-
M: He is a graduate student and teaching assistant in the Computer Sciences department of State University. He is a tall and stocky man of early middle age, with long black hair a flair for strange and colorful clothing as well as a thick goatee and a moustache. He is active in the Universities Christian Youth Program as a mentor and such, however he also is an active RPG'er (claiming that an active imagination and mind is even more important than a fit body) and runs games every weekend (usually at Shahrazad's Library) when he is not busy doing other things. His outgoing personality and flair for dramatics often makes him stand out (not to mention his clothing) in a crowd. He lives in a small condominium within walking distance of the University and generally hangs out around the University grounds or at Shahrazad's Library.
F/E: He is actually a Quester.
.
.
Hobart Ludlow-
M: He is the manager and primary owner of Ludlow Holdings and Investments, which is a large firm that deals in commercial and residential leasing and development (real estate), as well as having a financial stake in several smaller companies around the region. He is the son of the companies founder, Maryann Ludlow. His mother founded the company when she was still quite young (late teens) and got started through a very large inheritance that she received, and then many investments and deals seemed to fall into her lap, allowing her to turn the small fortune she had inherited into a very large fortune. Her only son Hobart has been running the company for many years now since his mother's death, and has managed to increase its value even more substantially than his mother had. He is an extremely influential member of the Metro areas society and has a very charismatic personality. He always has an entourage of female companions around him when in public and is considered by many to be one of the most eligible bachelors in the region. Of these women the only one that is there very often though is his PR Liason, one Jennifer Kramer, who also runs interference for anyone bothering him with her forceful personality, as well as handling any media attention with a perfectionists obsessiveness. However when not dealing with some public event, he tends to be very reclusive and stays within the walls of his huge penthouse. He was born almost nine months after his mother had received her huge inheritance from her father who she had never known due to having spent most of her childhood in orphanages after her unwed mother died when she was only three years old. Among the real-estate holdings are several large high-rise office building in the Finance District of the Metro area, the tallest and most impressive of which he uses the top floor as his personal living quarters as well as the two floors below it being used by his company. The remaining 26 floors are all leased out to other businesses, with there being two basement levels for parking. His company also owns the Arvon Heights Mall, Ludlow Towers, as well as several other buildings and businesses and numerous appartment complexes around the Metro area. Hobart is a little above average height at about 6 feet and of a slightly stocky build with short black hair but generally appears like he has not shaved in about 24 hours. He often dresses in fine business suits of dark colors; however he occasionally wears more casual clothing when he is out and about in the cities but even then is fairly well dressed. It has been estimated by those in the business world that he is probably the single wealthiest individual in the entire Metro area, but again, since most of his holdings are privately owned and as such are not open to public access (the way that publicly traded stock companies are) no one knows for sure what his actual value is due to the numerous layers of his many holdings (with his holding company owning companies that own other companies).
F/E: Most of those who can sense members of Everlasting society (Eldritch and Fantasts) can sense that there is something unusual about him, but can not place what it is. They can not usually tell if he is actually a member of Everlasting society that can either hide his true nature, or simply a Gente that is not easily recognized, or if he might simply be a mortal who has some greater destiny or place in history. But due to his extremely reclusive nature, he has very little interaction with anyone within Everlasting society.
Horace Thompson-
M: He is the leader of the Northeast Metro Pack that is the smallest and least active of the groups. He can often be found hanging out in one of several redneck bars in the area. Horace in addition to leading the local group of "The Pack", also owns a motorcycle shop where he sells and repairs these machines. He is a heavy set man of average height (5'9" 250lb) with thick shoulder length graying-brown hair and a bushy beard and moustache that typically dresses in heavy leather.
F/E: He is a Varge, as are most of the higher ranking members of "The Pack".

Jane Gestel-
M: She is a chemistry professor at Lakeside Community College. She appears to be of middle age and is somewhat short, of average weight but with a shapely figure, with shoulder length wavy black hair and dark piercing eyes. Seh aranges her classes such that she is at the college only two to three days a week, however those tend to be very long days for her, as she is usualy there before sun-up and often doesn't leave until after dark. Her office is located in the basement of the science building at the college and she avoids meetings like the plague. She is generally very soft spoken and well mannered. She lives in what appears to be a modest tri-level home fairly close to the college.
F/E: She is in fact a Lilim vampire that keeps a very low profile (she is not involved with the Court of Night)
.
.
.
Jennifer Kramer-
M: The personal assistant and Public Relations Liason for Hobart Ludlow. She oversees his public appearances and handles any media attention that he gets due to his wealth and power in the Metro area. She is a dark haired woman who takes the idea of being a perfectionist... and perfects it. Her words are always well though out and every action that she takes in his name or in regards to his public image is done with a very intentional and planned purpose. Her first concern is always for Hobart's business image. While he tends to be an extremely reclulsive individual who only occasionally spends time out in public, she alwasy makes sure that the time he does spend in the public eye always reflects well on his company and himself. As such, she is often seen on the local news or quoted in the local news papers. She is about 5' 5" tall and is of average build, weighing about 120 pounds, with medium length black hair that is usually teased so as to give the apperance of disorganization, however this is the only thing in her life or the life of Hobart that is disorganized.

Jerome Bankow ("G.B.")-
M: Owner of Springfield Investigations. He is a very private and extremely effective Private Investigator. While his company is one of the smallest PI firms in the Metro Area, he is well respected as taking his clients confidentiality very seriously and as such works for some of the Metro Area's elete and wealthy. He has shoulder length medium brown hair and brown eyes, of slightly above average height and somewhat heavy build. He is very quick witted and loves to crack jokes about even the worst of situations. He currently lives up in one of the northern suburbs of the Metro area (Springfield).
F/E: He is an Osirian who has seen and done it all over his many lifetimes and has powers that are well beyond that of any normal human. He can remember back to when he was named Ognar Zonkuor around 1270BC in the wilderness north of Summaria (current day Western Asia). His current body is of eastern European lineage, with shoulder length medium brown hair and brown eyes, of slightly above average height and somewhat heavy build. He is very quick witted and loves to crack jokes about even the worst of situations. He currently lives up in one of the northern suburbs of the Metro area (Springfield).
.
Karla Gaeroppelo-
M: She is an "On the Streets" TV reporter for one of the local channels int he Metro Area, and is thus in the public eye and somewhat well known due to her semi-celebrity status. She is a tall and slim woman with Greek looking features and thick but long blond hair (some assume that it is dyed as blond hair for a Greek is nearly unheard of) that nearly always dresses in semi-formal white outfits. She is very personable and to the point, and is often able to dig out details that others miss; however these details do not always make it into the news reports. She has numerous very good sources of information within the various law enforcement agencies around, and uses this to gather useful information.
F/E: Most Fantasts and Everlasting can sense that she is of Everlasting origin as she has a very strong aura about her, but they are usually unable to tell what Gente she is, and she usually won't talk about it. However she is nearly always willing to help out mortals in need and is very good at gaining information. However she will only occasionaly assoicate with other Everlasting very much, and only when it involves activities that involve protecting mortals.
.
.
Kellen McClinoch-
M: Kellen is a tall man of stocky build with an unusually large skull, protruding chin, and oversized mouth. He has medium brown hair and a Caucasian but tanned complexion (as if he has spent a lot of time out in the sun). He is also very soft-spoken and generally stays out of the public eye, as he is a very private individual. He is one of the primary partners who owns Midwest Petroleum, a large privately held company that has several small to medium sized oil refineries and petrochemical plants around the midwest.

Kwan Ieto-
M: One of the original Partners for the Ieto, Gevier, Barglon, & Associates law firm that handles some high-end clients that want to stay out of the media and public eye. Their main office is located in one of the high-rises of the Finance district. Kwan is of obvious oriental lineage, being from Japan, with short black hair, brown eyes and slender build. He is speaks very quickly and with a very positive tone to his voice. He speaks a variety of eastern languages as well as English, however when speaking in English there is no discernable accent.
F/E: Kwan Ieto is a Kuni-Tzu-Kami Daeva, and is also a very private individual, as are most of the other members of their law firm. Some of the associate members of the law firm are human minions of these three, as are a few of the private investigators that they sometimes use. On rare occasions they also use Jerome Bankow (or "G.B." as he likes to be called) for "special" jobs through his Springfield Investigations company.

.
Lenca O'Riely-
M: Owner and operator of Lenca Sculpture, located in the Riverside District of Lakeview. She is a somewhat tall and thin woman with long light-brown hair, green eyes, and a fairly negative personality (complains and cusses a lot as well as getting angry easily). She does a lot of sculptures for public companies and organizations as well as private individuals.
F/E: She is an extremely bitter woman about something that she doesn't talk much about with others, although the few that she is friends with (Erin Rource,Mr. Conley, Hammer, Oryx Gargouille, and Xavier Fressineau) will only say that she was wronged in a very major way by another Daeva. She is a Fomhoire Daeva that is also the primary sculptor that is contacted to create Simulacra for Gargoyles around the midwest.

.
Leon Smith-
M: He had been a Navy cook on a ship for three terms of service, but was forced out due to a minor medical problem that he doesn't talk about to most people. He has been working for more than a decade now as the cook at the Black Cat jazz club in the Hub district of the Metro area. However he also occasionally fills the role of a backup to the bouncers due to his military experience and training. Leon can be an ornery cuss a times, quite the opposite of his younger brother Mike, however he is good natured when things are going well in the kitchen. He has this unnatural talent when it comes to making pickled eggs and home-made onion rings (the Black Cat has become known throughout the Metro area for them due to his skill).
F/E:
.
Lúbach-
M: He is a wandering bum with an old motorcycle who is sometimes seen in various cities around the midwest, often doing odd jobs for people as he travels, just to cover his gas and food. He can soemtiems be found camping out in a small tent (on vacant lots or out of site areas of public parks) that he carries with him or sleeping in out of the way places.
F/E: He is known within the Everlasting community as a member of Everlasting society, however his actual Gente is unknown due to his seeming to have abilities that could be attributed to any of a number of different gentes and his refusal to discuss it with anyone. He is not widely trusted due to not being directly associated with any single gente and his refusual to reveal his background, and is only occasionally contacted for purposes of learning information or for advice as he is incredibly wise and knowledgeable despite his reclusive nature and staying out of the middle of the political and power struggles that occur within Everlasting society.

M: This modestly wealthy woman who was adopted by a wealthy industrialist father and a well-to-do mother, both of which could not have kids of their own after being wed, but who inherited a large amount of wealth from them both, has dedicated her life to trying to better the lives of others. She is an outspoken city council member of the city of Bayside. She lives off her adopted parents wealth (through careful investments and not living too extravagantly) and has tended to hold a variety of public offices. She has never been married, but some wonder if her interests might be with other women rather than men. She is in her mid 50's with medium length brown hair that has a bit of grey in it.

.
Marshall Anderson-
M: Marshall is about 6 foot in height and muscular, with a trim form and a handsome face that bears more than a slight trace of his Amerind ancestry. He generally wears suits, even when he is doing things that really don't match the suit's ambiance with his preference is dark suits and he has embraced the monochrome fashion. He is well known as the owner of one of the Metro Area's more popular and successful Jazz clubs, the Black Cat. He is known to occasionally treat the patrons by taking to the stage himself, as he is a skilled singer and very talented musician. However most of the time a variety of jazz bands filter through the club. more details to be added soon...
F/E: Those who are members of the local Everlasting society, know him to be an Independent Daeva who lives in an apartment above the club that he owns. He had at once time been in training under the auspice of the Olympian Household, however some incident that his patron was behind but is not widely known, resulted in Marshall having split from the Olympian's and deciding to follow his own path. Later his mentor was ejected from the Olympian Household, but again the details of this are not widely known, while they have made some attempts at contacting Marshall and trying to convince him to rejoin their ranks, he has refused their attempts and continues to go his own way.
Mike Smith-
M: Younger brother of Leon Smith, Mike is a hard working and very friendly person (one of those people who is almost too friendly and too talkative sometimes). He works as a waiter at the Black Cat jazz club, located in the Hub District of the Metro area. He is very efficient and has a great memory for peoples orders. He and Leon rent an apartment together nearby and both spend a modest amount of time at the club even when they are not working due to enjoying the music and atmosphere that drew them into applying for jobs here in the first place. Mike also works as a part-time writer for a small tabloid that operates in the Metro area, but doesn't make much at it.

Min Kwon-
M: She is a mathematics professor at Masterson University. She is of obvious oriental lineage, with long black hair and brown eyes, of average height and well-built stature and attractively curvy figure (slightly heavier than the normal thin-build of many oriental women, but not heavy by most societal standards). She is serious most of the time, but does occasionally show a somewhat warped sense of humor to her students and other faculty and staff members. Min Kwon practically lives in her office in the basement of one of the university buildings.
F/E: Min is actually an ancient (and Independent) vampire of uncertain Consanguinity/bloodline who uses the campus both as a good source for finding new recruits as well as for a convenient "feeding ground". Min actually controls much of what goes on around the campus as far as Everlasting activities and is a major player in the Court of Night for the Metro area.

Nina McCarthy-
M: This young gal is very flamboyant and polite to the customers that she waits on at the Black Cat jazz club. He has been a waitress there for a couple of years now. She still lives with her parents and is a part-time liberal-arts student at Masterson University (both of her parents are professors there). She also dabbles in singing and playing the saxophone now and then if there are not any performers playing and not enough customers to keep herself busy.

.
Oryx Gargouille-
M: Who?
F/E: He is a Gargoyle that is somewhat new to the Metro area and very little is known about him as he does not associated much with other Everlasting and seems to care little as to what goes on within Everlasting society. As such he is rarely out in public, except when hunting for those sinners upon which he feeds. The location of his Sanctum is unknown to most.
Oryx is rather large, even for a gargoyle. His muscular frame alone stands nearly 10 feet tall. His coloring is that of the darkest obsidian, with a subtle shine that seems to reflect an evil presence. The stone of which he is composed seems to be some form of marble, yet it is not. Its composition seems almost alien for it can be unsettling to look at: almost as if he is out of focus. Upon closer inspection, his body appears to be an assemblage of overlapping plates with spikes in numerous locations, especially at the ends of all joints and appendages. Possibly his most striking features are the 3 foot long horns that protrude nearly straight out of the top of his head. Yet this is not were the bizarreness ends, his arms are elongated with the addition of an extra forearm. It gives the appearance of a long arm with two elbows. His hands are huge and could make Michelangelo’s David jealous. They appear to be the endings of a giant piece of heavy machinery used to grapple humongous trees.
Parn Dugan-
M: He is the leader of the East-Central Metro Pack, and the twin (non0identical) brother of Harl Dugan. Both of these men appear as average height men with stocky builds (5'10" 220lb). Parn has shoulder length dark brown hair while Harl has the same color hair that runs half way down his back. Harl has a bushy moustache while Parn has a full and somewhat bushy beard. Both of them usually dress in black leather with liberal use of spikes and chains to give the appearance of being bad-asses. However this appearance is an understatement, as they are both fearless and of course are very experienced in brawling and gang fighting/warfare. Sometimes though the tone down their appearance and dress in more normal clothing.
F/E: He is a Varge, as are most of the higher ranking members of "The Pack".

.
Ramon Lendosa-
M: He is a very reclusive and wealthy industrialist and owner of Lendosa Aviation a company that offers charter flights (has several small and medium sized jets) as well as aircraft maintenance for private planes. They operate out of many of the larger Midwest airports with their main offices located near the main airport in the Metro area. He is also partial owner of several other small and medium sized manufacturing companies in and around the region, as well as being heavily invested in the stock market, and goes to great lengths to stay out of the public eye). He lives in a large walled mansion in one of the upper class districts of the Metro area. His mansion and estate is one of the lavish estates on the main island of the Grand Isle District, located next to a huge catholic church that is the oldest and one of the largest still standing within the Metro area , with the huge and ancient graveyard (the largest in the Metro area) wrapping around behind his estate. This huge cemetery is used by the wealthy of the area, with it being a huge walled place with large gates and mature trees and covering nearly 200 acres. His estate covers about 20 acres with an eighteen foot tall stone wall all the way around. The mansion is a large three-story dark-gray cut-stone home with steep peaked roofs and high ceilings and large open spaces. The garden that covers much of the 20 acres is incredibly beautiful with many varieties of trees and flowers, as well as shrubbery and other plant life.
F/E: He is actually one of the Nobles of the Metro Area's Court of Night and is a very ancient ghul, born sometime around 740 AD in what is now Mexico and drank Aneneckro when he was in his early 50's. His current form is severely decayed and horrid looking, but despite his twisted and decaying form, he walks the gardens sometimes at night to admire the beauty and tranquil serenity of it.
Roger Zarkopf-
M: a Russian man who is a history professor at State University. He has a flair for getting very excited and giving very vivid lectures on the subject of history, almost as if he had seen some of the events that he talks about himself. He is a man of late-middle age, with shoulder-length medium-brown hair, of average height and slightly heavy build. He often dresses in simple neutral colored clothing, and often wears a long medium-gray trench coat and hiking boots. His small office is located in the attic level of one of the older buildings on campus, and is often cluttered with books and papers. He lives in a studio apartment on the 5th floor of an old commercial building near the university with businesses and appartments in it. This apartment is comprised of a large living room, a well appointed kitchen and a reasonably sized study, a large bathroom and bedroom.
F/E: He is a very ancient independent daeva (not part of any Household), he is not even actually Russian and has been around for more than 3,000 years. Probably the only Everlasting that is more knowledge about ancient artifacts than Roger is Aleria Hallecet, however he is more knowledgeable about most aspects of human history. However these two do not get along well, and their lack of tolerance for each others presence is always obvious, however neither of them will speak of the reason for the animosity that exists between them. Both of them are friends with Erin Rource and hang out a fair amount at An Tábhairne and can sometimes be found there having nasty arguments about a wide variety of things.

Samantha Cartwright-
M: Owner and manager of the "Midnight Call Resort and Club", which is a posh resort hotel that caters to business and entertainment themed travelers visiting the Metro area. It is located in the northern part of the Finance District, very near the Clearwater Dsitrict and the river. It also has a popular nightclub attached that has moderately successful rock bands play somewhat regularly, as well as a few local bands on the off-nights. Samantha appears to be of middle age with long dark hair and a somewhat pale complexion. She is tall and has a shapely figure, which she always dresses in deep red or dark blue dresses that are long, tight, and low cut. She is quiet, speaking very rarely unless she has something important to say, otherwise she communicates through her numerous minions. Her office overlooks the large nightclub that is at the center of her resort, from which she keeps a watchful eye on what goes on. The Hotel is a large eight-story brick building that takes up most of a large city block. This Hotel has 386 rooms, including 58 luxury suites for high-end business guests. The nightclub is located on the main floor near the middle of the building. There is also a large indoor swimming pool and gymnasium. A high-class restaurant is also located within the building, which caters to the middle and upper class business guests, and is open from 6:00 AM till 10:00 PM daily. Room service is available to Hotel guests around the clock, as is the gymnasium, while the swimming pool is open from 8:00 AM till 10:00 PM. The nightclub opens at 12:00 (noon) and shuts down (typically) between 2:00 and 2:30 AM.
F/E: She is actually one of the Nobles of the Metro Area's Court of Night and is a Lilim Vampire that has risen to a position of power very quickly with the Court of Night. She has numouers minions among the mortals who work at her establishment, many of whom do not know the true nature of their boss.
Sarah Thompson-
M: Bartender at the Black Cat jazz club located in the Hub district of the Metro area. She always looks like she is depressed and is very rarely ever seen to smile. However she knows her drinks even better than Antonio and has a knack for handling bottles in ways that still scares some of the customers now and then. She is very deft with her hands and extremely coordinated, not to mention having a great memory for faces. She is a somewhat tall woman, nearly six feet, with medium length dark hair and a somewhat slender build. She is a chain smoker, and nearly always dresses in pinstriped second-hand suits and often wears a derby. As such she sort-of at least looks the part of a bartender in a jazz club.

Spike-
M: The person known online as "Spike" is somewhat reclusive and he is one of two partners in a small speciality software firm called "Spike & Hammer Software" which is a company that deals in specialty software applications as well as small custom online games. The two owners are known only as "Spike" and "Hammer", and are rarely ever seen in public, as they operate out of a very old and run down industrial building in the Foundry District. Due to his heavy use of computers and the Internet, he seems to have almost no direct human contact, other than through on-line. He rarely goes out in public, but on the rare occasions when he does, he usually wears long flowing clothing and a large fez type of cap.
F/E: Spike is a Xeysori elf (techno-elf), tall and thin with long white hair, a pale complexion, and the usual elven hollow looking face and pointed ears, although his long hair usually hides this fact. Although on the rare occasions when he is out in public he wears long flowing clothing and a large fez type of cap.
Anyone who has been inside of their lair has seen that they do not use conventional computer equipment, but instead Hammer uses a large keyboard with oversized keys as well as speech recognition software. While Spike uses two heavily modified keyboards simultaneously (he can type and carry on two separate conversations at one time online in this way). In addition to doing specialized programming for customers who are willing to pay top dollar for their services, they also run a small MMORPG, which is not openly advertised or sold. This game is downloadable only through their web site, which is not publicized and is moderately expensive, then there is a monthly fee for using it that is much higher than any more public MMORPG available.
Sue-Ellen Anarcanum-
M: She is the owner of "Anarcanum Transit", a large company that has several divisions dealing in various aspects of the transportation industry. These include trucking (both long-haul and contracted freight, container shipping services (both the containers themselves and the shipping of such containers), ships (a fleet of a few smaller great-lakes freighters as well as several Tugs and hundreds of Barges), as well as several smaller local and regional industrial railroads. She appears as a somewhat tall and slender middle-aged woman with long bleach-blond hair and enticing eyes and of uncertain European lineage.

Tara Ogveidan-
M: Owner of Valley Entertainment, a very large entertainment complex Arvon Hills that has both movie theatres and performance theatres (for plays and small concerts). The complex also includes a family pizza and sandwich restaurant, a sports bar, an arcade, a roller rink, an ice rink (there are three amateur hockey leagues as well as open skating), a miniature golf course, racquetball courts, indoor tennis courts, gym and fitness center, and a bowling alley. It is also located right across the street from a very large shopping mall (which is owned by Ludlow Holdings and Investments). She is a tall thin woman with long straight hair that is an almost silvery- black (black with occasional strands of silvery-gray) color. She typically dresses almost exclusively in long black dresses or other dark clothing, however she rarely leaves the grounds of the main location due to having a penthouse within the complex.
F/E: She is actually one of the Nobles of the Metro Area's Court of Night and is a Dakinis Vampire.

.
Tera Mavros-
M: Tera descends from the Greeks, though her blood has been "polluted" (according to her maternal grandmother) by her father's "tainted" Cuban blood. Her size, had she not been reduced to skin and bones thanks to years of drug abuse, would usually appear as lithe, petite and with small, cute curves. Instead, she appears gaunt, her skin stretched tightly over her petite bone structure. It is this (among many other things) that finally forced her family to place her into a drug treatment program, requiring Tera to be locked away from the rest of the world for many, many months. Now, released from "the program", Tera is pale as well as gaunt and sickly looking. Her hair is Brown, although more of a Fawn w/ streaks and highlights of blonde due to time spent in the sun, while her eyes are a pale brown or almost hazel. She has a minor police record, due to some petty theft and one stolen truck incident that nearly ended her freedom and helped to precipitate her family intervening and getting her put into "the program" from which she has just recently been released.
F/E: Those within Everlasting society, may have noticed on occasion that she seems to notice their presense, as if she can see into the Reverie or is aware that there is more to the world that most mortals can sense. Thus she appears to be a Fantast (or possibly even an Everlasting that has not yet made the transition from mortal to one of the mortal-originating Gentes). But little is know about her otherwise.
Terrence Babantos-
M: Owner and manager of Babantos Iron and Steel- a large privately-held steel smelter and forger that include several steel and iron mills as well as stamping plants and other production facilities around the Midwest. The main office is located in Foundry district. He appears as a short and very stocky man with long brown hair, beard, and moustache who when seen is usually dressed in brown or gray clothing of a very functional nature and of heavy material. He usually wears an old leather cap that looks like it has been around since the beginning of time. He has a loud and boisterous personality, however he speaks his mind a little too-freely and tends to anger or alienate most people that he meets. He visits each of his mills and plants at least once every six months, and looks over the books and processes at that time. This is usually followed a week later by a catered-in dinner or plant picnic where he rewards his employees if he is satisfied with the work that has been performed and the profitability of the location. However he never attends these himself, and most of his employee's never even meet him other than during the tours, as most of his interaction with them is through his local managers.
F/E: He is actually a Zardis'Ethral Dwarf that has little to do with Everlasting Society, other than when it is something that he feels he needs to get involved in for the good of his business, customers, and/or employees.
.
Theodore Thames-
M: An engineer who works at Bollard Plastics, a large manufacturer of plastics in the Metro area, with their main site being in the Foundry District, as well as having smaller plants in Southampton, Riverbend District of Bayside, and in the city of Thaircoill. This is a privately held company with a substantial income owned by the grandson of the founder, who is a reclusive individual; many even say a hermit. This owner will occasionally join in high-level meetings by phone conference, but never appears in person, as a small board of directors who are very accomplished manages the company. Theodore is of average build and height, looks to be in his mid-40's, with short dark hair and a serious personality. He is not very personable, and avoids getting involved with anything that he doesn't feel is worthy of his time and effort. He lives in an old Victorian style house in an older but prestigious part of the city (Highlands District), which he has spent considerable time restoring and remodeling. The house next door had burned down several years ago so he purchased the land and had the remains torn down, then had a large pole building with a Gambrel style roof built. He uses this large building to store his collection of motorcycles.
F/E: He is actually a Milesian Daeva that has little to do with Everlasting society, except when called upon by the Milesian Household for something. Otherwise he seems to stick to himself.
.
Xavier Fressineau-
M: He is a very large and stocky man who appears to be of African decent. He is an African-American with a tall and very stocky build, 6'8" tall and 320 pounds of shear muscle and brute strength, with thick and wiry black hair that hangs half-way down his back and is also somewhat thick on his chest, back, shoulders, and arms. He also has a thick but well trimmed goatee and moustache, and incredibly dark eyes. He owns a moderate sized warehouse down on the waterfront in the Waterfront District of the city that is now largely vacant of active businesses. This warehouse has a high chain link fence with barbed wire around the top and slats that bock out most of the view of what is behind the fence. However the gate to the facility is left open during business hours. This low warehouse and the large lot that it sits on is used to store massive quantities of granite, marble, and a wide variety of other types of stone used in his work. He does most of his work indoors within the old low building, which is also made of cut fieldstone. He also makes his home within this structure. He usually wears drab grays and browns most of the time, either denim and tee shirts or leather most of the time. He usually wears several gold chains and rings around his neck and thick fingers. He also has a forge and smithy equipment in the building that he uses to create various works of metal as well as his stonework, often as decorations or intricate metal artwork. He has a very gruff voice but tends to be very well spoken, despite his gruff appearance and rough and tumble look.
F/E: Many of the other Eldritch suspect that he is one of their kind, but most cannot tell what kind he is. If asked he will not reveal his true identity, only saying "Gente and generation are not important in the grand scheme of things, I am what I am and will do what needs to be done when the time comes." He does sometimes get involved in various Eldritch issues, but usually in a minimal way or only with advice or suggestions.
Trey Berihun-
M: Trey also has military experience, having been in the Marines for two terms of service, before getting court marshaled for striking his Lieutenant (knocked him out), once he served his time he was forced out of the military, and started roaming the streets of the Hub district where he grew up. He started to hang out at the Black Cat after returning to the area, and eventually started working as a bouncer after backing up one of the bouncers that no longer works at the club to deal with a couple of drunks. While Trey is the smallest of the bouncers at the Black Cat, he is without a doubt the fastest (pushing the limits of what is possible for a mortal human) and has a modest bit of martial arts training.

"Zeus" (Leslie Eugene Smith)-
M: He is the leader of a small but feared motorcycle gang called the "Storm Riders". All the members of this gang have tattoos of lightning bolts somewhere obvious on their bodies. The leader of this gang is called "Zeus" due to his tall and very stocky stature as well as his booming voice and fearless attitude. He shaves his head and is otherwise clean cut as far as shaving, however he is anything but clean.
