Any Visible scars, tattoos or piercings: Ears pierced
Creature class(Human, Elf, Demon, etcetc): Half human. And half something else. Who knows?

Have you killed before: Yes.
Favorite beverage(C'mon, be honest, you know it's alcoholic): Peppermint tea. And I like a bit of tequila now and then.
Regular Exercise Routine: Yes. I generally run at least five days a week and hit the gym to do some weight lifting. Often run on the other two days as well. Even in this bloody freezing weather.
Military Experience: None
If so, list what division and job: N/A

Job History
Sometimes the dates get a bit blurry, but this is what I remember.
Before mid-2006 I spent a lot of my time in England, learning how to fist fight. I left England in.. 2004 I believe.. And made my way to Rhy'Din, where I found some friendly folks who taught me a few more tricks.
I spent most of the second half of 2006 floating in between jobs. I did some minor security on shipments and such and two or three body guarding gigs.
Early January 2007- A recovery operation, I provided the back up
Late January 2007- Opened SPI with Alain D'Mourir, we're partners.
Sometime in between- Nabbed a cat burglar causing trouble for some small stores, caught some dirty cheatin' spouses, also grabbed a peeping tom.
July 2007- The West End murder cases. Still unsolved. The casualties have been high..
November 2007-SPI expansion, the opening of the SPISD offices
December 2007- Investigating the mysterious explosion in the West End

Alain DeMuer

Date: 2007-12-14 02:26 EST
You really want to know? Sure. What the hell.

My name's Alain D'Mourir. People who don't like me just call me "the detective"... so a lot of people call me that. I am almost six feet and two inches tall, and I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of two hundred pounds, last I checked.

I'm male, and there's a line of people to back up that assertion.

I'm not married, and unfortunately don't think I'll ever be suited for it. But hey, I'm only twenty-one, and there's the off chance I've got a long time to live yet. My eyes are blue, and a little too bright most nights, and my hair is dark. I never brush it.

I have a tattoo of a bear rearing up on my left shoulderblade, and the seal of the D'Mourir Family on the back of the right hand. Other side of the seal, my palm is covered in burn scars. Don't play with fire. Other scars are too many to count, but they come and go. I've got my tongue pierced, but I haven't worn an earing in almost a year.

I like to think I'm human. I can't do magic, anyway. Wouldn't want to, either.

I like guns. Blasters don't work so well in the West End, but revolvers do okay, and they feel good, y'know? There are better shots out there, but you'd have to search for them. I'm okay with a knife, but if I don't have a gun or anything big to crack them over the head with, I'll just rely on fists and feet. I'm a brawler at heart, but I borrow a fair amount from kung fu. Roundhouse kicks send a pretty clear message.

Have I killed before? Well... a man does what he must. Let's leave it at that.

I like whiskey. Don't tell anyone, but I'm trying to cut back, and making up for it with my second favorite - coffee.

My exercise routine varies. It's often just pushups and crunches and the daily walk to work, but I've been known to go on a few runs.

I have no military experience. The Security Division is as close as I'll get, and really, that's Cassie's baby more than mine.

My job history is... varied, but I have been a waiter, smuggler, thief, mercenary, security guard, and private detective. Makes sense of that repenting kick I've been on, doesn't it?

Frank Paszinski

Date: 2007-12-14 23:37 EST
Why am I doing this again? A resume? I thought that was the sort of thing you put on paper. You know, to make it official.

You're just gonna sit there and listen? They never do anything straight around here...

Yeah, ok ok...

Frank Paszinski- P-A-S-Z-, you don't need me to spell it? Fine fine...
38 years old, April 8 1966. Do those dates even mean anything here?
Sex? Look, man, I don't- Oh, uh, Male.
Definitely not married, makes the job easier, you know? Deployment eleven out of twelve months a year isn't good for a long-term love-life. Wasn't good... Short-term however... heh heh. Ahem, anyways.
5'10", 215 pounds; shall I flex for you? Not an ounce of fat on this body. One thing I can be proud of at least- allow me my vanity.
My eyes are gray, like my hair. Or green, I think. Er- No, not like my hair. Hair is definitely gray. Can we change the subject?

This shoulder here, I've dedicated to the Marines; semper fi and all that. Those guys are like family after a while. Family you lose so fast...
On the other side, God shares a shoulder with the family. No family, so God's got it all to himself right now, the lucky bastard. And on the back, hold on, let me get my... shirt... off here. Wings. I suppose I've not been much of an angel. Unless you count the angel of death. Life has a funny way...

'Creature Class'? What the hell does that mean? I'm, uhh... White? Caucasian? American? Broader; what do you mean 'broader'? What, human? Yes, Human. Seriously? How is that a real question? Don't answer that.

The Marines teach you alot. I've always got my fists. Had ta' carve a couple people apart in my day; never get in a knife fight- bloody as sin. I can handle anything with a trigger, even had a couple postings as a sniper. Looked a man in the eye from a mile off and put one through him. Poor bastard. Guns are bloody as sin, too. Grenades, C4, oh, Napalm. That's the good stuff. See, explosives are good: you never have to see the blood. Not much less sin-ish, I suppose. Color me red and call me sin, I guess.

Jackie Chan ain't got shit on me.

Killed? What, like in a particular way? I'm not an assassin or something, man. Oh, what? Just, like another human? Well, yeah. I mean, I wouldn't be a very good soldier otherwise.

Vodka. Ruskies did something right, lucky for us, it wasn't designing a government.

Exercise? I'm a Marine. Do you -see- these guns?

Master Gunnery Sergeant Frank Paszinski. Well, Ex-Sergeant anyways. Long ago days, man.

Been a soldier since before I was legal. Funny, that, you know? They let you kill people and make babies on the same day. I was young and stupid, then. As it turns out, I'm also a damn sight better at being a fighter than a lover. Lets see, that must've been back in... '82? Hell, I must be getting old...

The rest? The rest is history.

What's important is now. Like: 'Now, where the hell am I that they go and put freaking 'Creature Class' on a damn resume!?'

You need me to do a resume? Merde... I hate those things. I mean... can you please hold on a moment I have someone on the phone right now. I'll just put them on hold... it's not an important call, besides I'm trying to put some things together for Monsieur Alain... he's not the most orgonized of people with paper work.... You have five minutes.

My name... Adrianna D'Aubigne. If you ever call me by my full first name I swear...
I'm twenty years old born on November 25th 1987. Not like anyone is going to celebrate my birthday though.
I'm female obviously. Stupide...
I'm engaged as of right now.... Will I have to re-do this when I get married?!
My looks...well I'm obviously 5'6" and... my weight? 126 lbs last time I checked. I'm toned... do I really have to continue this?
My hair is dark brown as are my eyes... next question please?!

Scars, tattoos and piercings... well I have one faint scar on my neck. The other scars are in places you are not going to ever see... No not there!! My chest!! Perverti. As for piercings both of my ears are pierced as well as my belly button.

I'm a witch. End of that story moving on... your five minutes are almost up!

I was not in the military... Goddess I'm the secretary here! Why does this matter?

No I'm not getting an attitude with you... I just have a lot of work to do... Which reminds me I didn't get Alain's coffee yet... oops.

Wepons... I'll use a gun if I have too. Once again I'm the secretary. worst I could do sitting here is use a hole puncher on your chest...

Anyways. I know how to kickbox and just plain out street fight if that means anything to you.

No I have not killed anyone.

My favorite drink? Blueberry schnapps and Cola... or Wine.

My exercise routine consists of my running every morning and doing some push ups and what not.

As for my job history I was a waitress at one point, and I have done odd jobs for people such as teaching french and painting rooms and such.

We're done? Ok now I have a lot of work to do... Which includes getting some coffee for Alain... Argh I left that poor person on hold! Merde...!!!!

Malcolm Drayke

Malcolm Drayke, 24 years of age, reporting.

I?m sitting right here, quite obviously male. What kind of detective agency is this?

Marriage? Nah, I?m good. Really, why bother?

Eh, I go ?bout 6?2? an? a buck ninety five.

My eyes? Well I aint takin? off the sunglasses but trust me their blue.

Identifying marks? No not really, nothing that shows.

Creature class? What the... Uh, human? That what your askin?? I mean I aint got no magic or none of that sh*t.

But as far as weaponry goes I can use about any gun, and repair ?round half. I don?t use no knives or nothing? but I have extensive training in how to defend and disarm. Though there was that complaint against me with a baseball bat. Anyway I'm trained in police force hand to hand combat, I?ve done a fair amount of street fighting, dirty boxing, and I?ve even trained in a bit of Brazilian Jujitsu, though its not my strong suit.

Have I ever killed anyone? Yeah, couple a people I guess.

I drink beer or coffee, mostly beer. But why?

Well I stay in pretty good shape. Or I used to. Haven?t had much time in my last week to work out though. I?ll get back into the swing a things once I get used to this place.

As far as formal training? Well I aint never been in the military or anything. I had two years on the force, but they thought I took the ?force? thing a bit to seriously, so I started doing some PI work. At first that wasn?t making me any cash so I started bounty hunting. Bondsman of the year in Florida last year. Not that it makes a damn bit a difference ?round here though. Other than that I worked a few? well I like to call ?em retrievals. Finding ?lost? or stolen sh*t for rich people. Was never rewarding but it did pay the bills really well.

Seated, stiff backed, cross legged, on a wooden chair in an empty room, fingers curled around the sides of the chair by her thighs, a bright light in her face, she squints and jerks her elbow gently, showing the interviewer that it's harming her focus.

"Does it have to be that bright.. Oh sorry, the film's rolling?"

She swallows and looks either side of her, without moving her head, and begins, her voice controlled and soft, flowing, but assured and direct.





Name: Wren Juke
Age: I don't care to tell
Sex: Female.
Marital Status: Seeing someone. *she makes a bit of a face at that, looks down at her skirt, briefly, continues*
Height: 5'5... *an uneasy smile, expecting some shortarse remark*
Weight: Does that really matter? Clearly I'm not an overweight buffoon and have the fitness to carry out this job!
Eye color: Dark green
Hair color: Black
Any Visible scars, tattoos or piercings: Ears aren't pierced, no tattoos because only the unsavoury women in my hometown had those, and sure, got a scar... *holds up her right hand, and unfurls its thumb, below its knuckle to the side of her hand is a pink, slightly risen line; it was a deep cut that sliced to the bone. Her fault. "..Was cutting an apple carelessly".

Creature class(Human, Elf, Demon, etcetc): Human
Magical abilities: None. And I'm pretty certain I won't ever have any "abilities" *she makes the hand signs* I kind of take pride in being a plain, average jane after all the oddities I've come across since arriving. *a small smile of satisfaction plays across her face, it takes the time to shuffle a deck, or three heartbeats, and that smile is gone*
Weaponry: A handgun, revolver I think, have yet to show it to anyone including Alain, I'm guessing he'll know. Two short swords offered to me by Lily Shadow-Chantra, she's training in me in some fighting too.
Martial Arts: I can't kick for shit right now. *A gentle shrug, and she sits stiffly again* But I'll get there..
Have you killed before: *A faint frown, she takes a small breath* "No"
Favorite beverage: *A finger held to her mouth, as she smirks from behind it, a small breath exhaled* "Ok, I'll go with a brandy. Not all the time, but when I do, it's enjoyed.
Regular Exercise Routine: I've always worked in warehouses and factories and with that comes lots of heavy lifting, lots of work on your feet, so I've benefited from that. I like to go for runs, they clear my head. When you're around grease and grime and dark hallways all day in some giant building, time in the sunlight is a good thing, I'll tell you that. Now that I'll be dealing with another kind of dark, I'm certain I'll be taking to my jogs even more... *a thoughtful look, she turns her face away at the rapid flashes of the camera*
Military Experience: *shakes head*

For someone like Alain and the rest of the SPI resources, it wouldn't be hard to dig up some basic facts on Mish'Cael. He wasn't exactly giving them up freely, but he knew some SPI members better than others, and he didn't keep things hidden unless he especially wanted to.

Aaron Shaw

Date: 2009-03-18 20:08 EST
Who th'Hell you think you are, bargin' in on me f-!? Oh, righ', righ'. Here for th'verbal resume. Sorry 'bout th'shirt, kid.

Name's Shaw. Aaron Shaw, but the latter's easier on th'ears.

Age? What's this, a magazine interview? Thirty-four.

Th'Hell you think I am!? Do I look like a woman t'you?

Sittin' under two meters, or six-foot-three, an' right on eighty-nine kilos. Huh? Ugh.. One-ninety-seven. F****n' Imperial sytem savages.. You see this? This big, mean arm right 'ere? You wan' it in your mouth up to th'elbow? No? Then get on with it!

The little hair I've got's somewhere 'between brown an' blonde. Keep it close, ain't good for anythin', after all. Eyes're brown, an' dark.

Yeah, marks.. I got knife 'oles, bullet 'oles.. Eh? What about me wrists? Yeah, they go all the way 'round. Call it an operation. Yeah, that's all you're gettin'. Shut it, already! Ask your damn questions!

Human, born an' bred.

Can' do fancy magic. Don't care to, really. Got everythin' I need withou' it.

Aside from m'hands? Any firearm, really. Knives, vehicles.. If you can use it to hurt someone, odds are I know how to get the desired effec'.

Martial combat? I ha'e disciplined fightin'.

Drink? You're serious? Well, in that case, rum; spiced.

My workout routine varies, but I'd be damned 'fore I'd tell anyone what it is. Let 'em figure out their own way to get into this.

Spent twelve years in service to Queen and Country. There. You done? Y'know, some people 'ave actual work t'be doin'.

Fia Calriss

Date: 2009-03-20 13:06 EST
Right, right, I know what you want. Just give me a moment.

My full name is Fionnula Branwen Calriss, but I go by Fia. It's easier. On you because you don't have to try and get the pronunciation right, and on me because I don't get annoyed. ::Fia smiles, here::

Sex? I'm female. Should be obvious...

I'm not married. Currently I have no plans to be, either. Let's try to get a boyfriend first, as big a joke as that has turned out to be lately, right?

I'm an elf. Homo sapiens nobilis. I'll be nineteen in September. Almost six feet tall, green eyes, dark hair. Black or brown, though usually there are tones of both. I don't dye it. I wear glasses, I don't care for contacts, and each ear is pierced four times. Three down in the lobe, and cartilage piercings high up near the point. No tattoos, no visible scarring.

I am a hermetic mage, which means I do mostly elemental magic. I can do some summoning of elementals and some free spirits, but they don't come cheaply. Nothing's free, as they say. I also never felt the need to throw it around.

I can use guns, knives, swords, shuriken. I'm not too shabby in hand to hand, either. But I don't know any martial arts moves, never learned anything formally.

...I don't drink. Seriously. Stop laughing, my brother was strict about that. I like cherry cola though.

I never was in any military. Didn't grow up in a corp to be part of CorpSec, didn't join one, and I didn't grow up in the States to be a part of either military.

Haven't killed before knowingly, no. Can I? If I have to.

Regular exercise routine? Not really, no. I keep in shape, but it's more something to do in between doing something else.

Job history? I worked for the Infinity City PD as a freelancer. Before that I didn't really have a set job history--running the shadows is like that. Since then I worked for the University of Central Rhydin as a librarian--you can stop laughing now, thank you! The interview's over!

Alain DeMuer

Date: 2009-03-20 13:45 EST
"My name's Alain Cavan DeMuer, and if you reckon the year by RhyDin's instead of where I was born, my date of birth's 10 January, 1986 C.A., making me twenty-two. As a matter of public record, I'm a mortal human male - privately, I'm bound to something Celestial. Nephil's a stretch, but likely the closest to what I've become.

"I'm about six feet all and weigh nearly two hundred pounds, and in spite of a steady diet of good food, cigarettes, and scotch, I keep it mostly muscle with a rigorous morning workout. My hair's brown, thankfully not grey yet, and my eyes... Let's just call them blue, okay.

"My most visible and noticeable scars and marks, in public, are the old burn scars on the palm of my right hand -- you should see the other guy -- and the seal of House DeMuer tattooed on the back of my right hand. I had another tattoo on my back, but you can barely make it out now... Mister Howe whipped all that flesh away, leaving one hell of a mess. All over the rest of me is a changing landscape -- I do my best not to get shot, but sometimes it doesn't work out.

"Again, as a matter of public record, I have no abilities that could be called magick. Privately... well, I'd still hesitate to call it magick in the sense of casting spells, but with the fallen angel Kael as my rider and more, I can make life very hard for many of the Demonic persuasion. The sword Lilinbane helps. So do the Angelic Arcana, which I'd easily call House DeMuer's best-kept secret.

"I'm okay with a sword, still learning, I'm good with a knife, I'm better with rifles and shotguns, and I'm at my best with a pistol. Fast draw and dead aim. I've got my own style for brawling, but I borrow from several different schools, and I've picked up a few tricks from my colleagues.

"My favorite drink is a rusty nail. What's that? Ha... scotch and drambuie, a scotch liqueur.

"I don't have any military experience, officially speaking... but I served for nearly four years in the Jericho Runners smuggling guns through the city of Nouveau Bretagne, and served one year as a soldier and smuggling liasion in the resistance group the Clarendon Sword, both during the civil war in the Grand Duchy of Nouveau Bretagne. I continued in this vein in RhyDin as a smuggler and mercenary for several months, and spent most of my professional career here in the city as a private eye.

"I've got a mind for business, as I have founded several successful businesses that I've reorganized under House DeMuer and DeMuer Exports. Most of my time now is spent in business and political leadership, as the leader of House DeMuer and the Baron of Sainte-Ouen, a confederation of towns and villages in an edge-realm north of RhyDin."

Wolvinator

Date: 2009-05-29 20:03 EST
?Oh you? Yeah, DeMuer told me you?d probably be stoppin? by. Whatcha got for me?

?Alright, lets see here?

?My name is Wolvinator, Wolvie to my friends, and yeah? I?m notta big fan of people callin? me Wolv. If ya call me Wolf or Wolfie yer a friggen? idiot and I?m not gonna respond to ya.

?A handle? Like an alias? You can call it that, although it?s technically my government name. Good luck gettin? my birth name outta me cuz that aint happenin? bub. I?m five-ten and I?m around three hundred and fifteen pounds. Yeah, trust me pal, I know I don?t look it. I?m fifty-seven years old, and yeah I know I don?t look it either.

?I?m from New York, can?tcha tell by the accent? Heh? guess not buddy.

?Sex? Look, if yer askin? me that and expect an other-than-obvious answer yer gonna be sadly disappointed.

?Eyes: blue. Hair: brown. Nationality: American. Creature Class? Couldn?t ya get a more generic soundin? category like species or somthin?? Jeesh. Anyway? that?s where things get tricky. I?m technically human, but I?ve also been classified as homo-sapien superior.

?I was married once, and I don?t really care to elaborate much further on that subject. I?ve got two kids, a boy and a girl, and they?re both adults now. Right now, I?m engaged to be married to Alystrianna D?Vaustaival. Yeah, I know you?ve seen ?er, she was this years May Queen. She?s definitely a sight fer sore eyes.

?Nope. I don?t have any distinguishing marks, tattoos or any of that; one of the benefits, and problems, with a regenerative healing factor. My body rejects any ink that?d try and set into the skin and any cuts or wounds heal up good enough that they don?t leave any traces I was ever injured. Lemme tell ya, I?ve been in some pretty bad shape before and you?d never know it. It?s also what helps me keep my boyish looks.

?Magical Abilities? All of that crap is smoke and mirrors. There?s nothin? magical about magic. Everything, and I mean everything, has a scientific reason why it happens. Believe me on that. What I do have is what some call mutant abilities. Regenerative healing factor; metahuman speed, strength, endurance, reflexes, agility and intelligence; enhanced senses, partial immunity to heat, retarded aging, a foreign chemical immunity, and a precognitive danger sense. I?ve also been classified as having some form of kinetic energy transference, and a molecular density manipulation has been known to manifest from time to time.

?Like how I riddled those off eh? Well?yer not the first person to document me, or my abilities, not that I?m braggin?.

?As far as weaponry goes I usually carry a few things on me at all times. Stealth Camouflage SNEAK suit, type II hand phaser, and usually one or two Desert eagles, just in case phased energy weapons are out of question; and when all else fails, I got two sets of three eighteen inch adamantium claws housed in my hands and arms, and lemme tell ya somethin? bub, they can slice through just about anything like a hot knife through butter.

?I?ve been heavily trained in most forms of martial arts including Jeet-kune-do, Anasatsuken, Shotokan and of course CQC. I?ve killed people before, not that I?m proud of it, but I?ve dispatched more scumbags than some battalions can do in a lifetime.

?Alcohol doesn?t have much of an effect on me, unless I?m drinkin? Romulan Ale, and that?s my preferred drink.

?I exercise regularly every day, unless of course I?m busy workin? on somethin?, or I?m deployed on a mission. It usually involves running, advanced calisthenics, combat training and weight lifting.

?Military experience? I sorta have dual membership in two organizations. I?m a Rear Admiral Lower half; spare me the jokes all right, in Starfleet. I?m also a Special operations manager in S.E.F.F. I went the officer route, and did my time in Starfleet Academy in San Francisco, when I was a quite bit younger than Alain is now. I think that pretty much sums up my job experience, ?cept fer the fact that I?m also a member of the X-Men, squad leader in fact. It?s somethin? I do from time to time, and definitely more frequent when I?m back home.

?Wanna know how I know Alain? We didn?t exactly get off on the right foot a few years back. I had some clowns runnin? around this joint tryin? every possible method they could to blackmail, blackball, and end my very existence. See, they didn?t like havin? some new sheriff come into town and clean up sh*t, so they wanted to take me out. Problem was? I?m not easy pickin?s. I tried my best to get after the current Governor at the time, Kitty Helston, to lend some assistance with these dirtbags, but she was more busy drinkin? and scratchin? ?er nails then she was to helpin? out the common folk.

?When I ran into Alain, well he wasn?t all too helpin? either, and I don?t think he appreciated the way I was badmouthin? Helston. Needless to say, he stuck some of his people on me to see what I was up to, and one by one I found ?em out. I think he admired it more than he was ticked off about it. Never mind the fact that we always seemed to have some smart ass remark for one another anytime either of us were in earshot.

?Well, last year sometime, I saw he was in some trouble with some sort of assassination attempt in the Red Dragon, and I decided to intervene. Well, lemme rephrase that, he asked me for my help with this dude named Mister Howe. I guess, somehow, I gained his trust enough to give ?em a hand that night and we both acquired a mutual respect for one another.

?Since then, we?ve been handlin? some interstellar coffee trading with the Federation, and detective like work around the planet. We?ve definitely helped one another out on more than one occasion and to be quite honest, I can say that I trust the Detective quite a valuable partner and ally. It gives me a warm and fuzzy feelin? at night to know I got ?em watchin? my back, and I got an inkling that the feelin? is mutual.?

"Well that was fast. I barely started here. Darkness, but you guys are on the ball. I guess I'll do my best to answer your questions....for the most part."

"My name's Lilith T'Rasa DeBrough. I know. It sounds quirky; let's move on, alright? Just don't call me Lily. It's okay, don't apologize. Everyone thinks of it at one time or another. I figure it's best to nip that nonsense in the bud."

"I'm five-ten and...well...you shouldn't ask a girl her weight. I'm thin enough for my taste, too thin for others. How's that?"

"Age? Jeez, you guys need some manners. I'm 23 years where I come from, but that amounts to about...47 years here, I think. Hey! Quit lookin for wrinkles. I'm a long lived-race, and this stays between us, yes?"

"I'm from Liuthmel originally. Did a quick stint in New York, Earth style. Ever been? Too bad; great nightlife."

"You're kidding with the sex question right? I mean, do I really look like a guy?"

"I'm not entirely sure what you'd call my species. I'm doing my damnedest to figure that out, actually. I can look however you want. Is redhead your style? Or are you a blond type? Normally I've got some silvery white hair and purple eyes. Let's not comment on this, ok?"

"No marriage. Next question."

"Eh. No tattoos. I had one removed not too long ago. Ugly as sin drunken mistake. I used to have a scar on my left eye, but someone took care of that for me. Two more scars, one for each shoulder blade. What can I say? I like it rough. Again, I'll have to move you along to the next..."

"Magic? Yes, I've heard of it. I can heal myself and others. Beyond that, let's just say I'm gifted."

"Weapons? I hate guns. Why? Because they are a little too...final. I prefer blades."

"No formal martial arts training. I spent a few years in the Nightshade House back home. It's an assassin training ground. I picked up a few things."

"Favorite drink? Well, that would be either Zeppa and blood (shameless plug, I know it), or milk and blood. Let's not make fun, okay? I'd hate to have to punch that pretty nose of yours. Alcohol doesn't touch this metabolism."

"Exercise? What's that? No, seriously. I run. I have a heavy bag hanging in my flat. It gets the aggression out."

"No military experience to speak of. Not in the way that most would consider it. I fought in the wars back home, but that was more infiltration and assassinations. Not exactly a government sponsored event, if you catch my drift."

"I've been a waitress and a model, and even did a quick tour of the mental ward in a shining example of New York hospital-ity. As for now? I handle promoting and securing deals for DeMuer's own Zeppa Soda. Alain took pity on this crazy halfbreed and gave me a niche. Now I'm just decorating it."

"I've got stuff to do. It's been great. Now get out. Please?"

A L Bertand

Date: 2011-04-12 23:50 EST
Wow. Word gets around fast. I don?t think I even have an office yet.

Okay, I know. Everyone?s in a hurry here. Let me catch my breath.

All right.

A.L. Harper. Yes, I go by A.L. Or Harper.

You have to have it? For this? Fine. Annie-Love. No, that?s my first name. I don?t have a middle name.

Seriously.

Sex? Female. I?m a little hurt you have to ask.

I'm not married.

What? Look, can we just go through the questions?

Human. My Terra designation is ER319. I?m 29. I?ll be 30 in July. The second.

I?m five-foot-five. Blonde hair. Gray eyes. Holy ? warn someone before you flash those things in their eyes! Ow. Yes, I know what a retina scan is, but cripes.

Yes, I usually wear glasses, but I do have contacts.

Visible marks? My ears are pierced. No. I don?t have any tattoos. I have a little scar, here, above my lip, see? And one here. Okay, sorry. Left hand, between thumb and index finger, one-half inch long. And one on the back of my right knee, about two-and-a-half inches.

That?s it.

I?m a psychologist. U.S. Navy, medical corps. Honorable discharge. No combat experience. Most recently, I worked here in RhyDin for the Watch and RASG, mostly doing criminal profiling, but also some officer counseling, psych evals and victim liaison work.

I?m proficient with handguns, and with basic hand-to-hand and self-defense. I ? no. I have never killed someone. If I had to? Yeah. I think I could.

You need to know what I drink for a personnel interview? Huh. Beer, usually. But I drink wine or mixed drinks, depending on the situation. Socially. Al?s not looking for Silvermark endorsements, is he?

What is my regular exercise routine ? I?m a runner. I?ll do weights occasionally. And I ride a bike in the summer. Mostly, I run.

Before the Navy? I was a military brat. My dad is a retired Air Force Colonel. I graduated high school a year early, and the Navy took me on special warrant until I was eighteen. Sent me to school. Got my Masters and PhD from a joint program between the Academy and the University of Chicago.

Why did I leave?

I heard you. There was a medical incident. Afterwards, when my tour was up, I elected to try something different.

Yeah, RhyDin.

Hobbies? I like the outdoors. Camping, hiking. And I?m a big baseball fan.

The Cubs.

Oh, stop laughing.

Innocent

Date: 2011-04-19 09:50 EST
"For the record? Oh... Okay. I'll answer the best I can..."

"... M-My name is, or was, Chasity Colragen... I'm told, that's my name ? and my nickname was Chat, or Chas to some people... It's a cute name. I like it."

"But you can call me, Innocent, hun."

"Hehe...Deffinately a girl..."

"Oh baby, didn't the curvy lines of this fine example of the female gender give it away?"

"I'm about, twenty-two years old now, if I look at myself in the mirror and kinda guess... It's hard to remember, really, but..."

"I was reborn recently. So perhaps to be more accurate my true age within this new life, is four months. Still such a virgin to life, in more ways than one."

"5'1ft... I think. Mighta grown a bit more? Not really sure ? I should measure myself again."

"5'6 with the boots."

"... I've had boy friends I think. Wh-who? Oh ? uh ? um ? well, someone told me... He, was someone dear to me..."

"In short? Single, but sexually active. What? Girl has got to have fun. Who needs to be stapled down to one man ? or, heh, woman..."

"Oh I don't know about weight... I'm, kinda light though? Does that... Uh... Maybe it doesn't help..."

"My eye colour, is... Brown. Or was."

"It's black now. All, the deepest, darkest black. Look long enough? You might just see the red rings of my desire."

"Oh, I like to change my hair colour a lot. But it's layered! And about as long as my waist... I like to experiment with hair colours ? it's so much fun."

"I, don't have much scars... Just, the ones in my head, I suppose..."

"Creature... Class... I-I don't want to, talk about that..."

"I am a Sister. Does that reply satisfy you?"

"I don't have any magical abilities... I don't, I promise, I just, am not sure what to call it... Natural? Unnatural... Impossible abilities..."

"The type to chill you down to your very core. Look into my eyes, dear, do you see my desire just reaching out, and gripping icy fingers around your heart? Now do you feel my fingers, ripping you limb from limb? My teeth sinking into your flesh ? consuming you whole; oh, don't stare too long, dear ? are you okay? Here, let me hold you, and soothe that Music that beats so loudly against your ear..."

"Um... I don't, really agree with violence so I don't carry a weapon-"

"One hell of a spiky, metal-fashioned guitar. What? It's my axe. It's not just made for making music, babe, it's made to bash in those that really get on my nerves."

"Oh... Martial arts? I love Kung-fu ? uhm, movies, but, no, can't really do it. I tried it once, but it was only for my, uhm, work..."

"Sometimes my clients like a good kicking. But tooth and nail seems to work best. Perhaps just a simple punch, in a sensitive spot... Oh my, I'm drooling just thinking about it."

"N-No! N-No I would never-k-kk-kill!"

"... Don't we all, to survive? What's the difference between an animal and a human creature? An Elven? A Dwarf? I tell you what's different... The flavour of the meat, and that's it."

"... I like whiskey. And mango juice... Oh and cola ? anything sweet really!"

"Bring that neck closer and you'll find out, hun."

"I like to dance. Dancing is so much fun ? and playing guitar. It's enough to keep me slim, I suppose."

"... Heh, bedroom activities count, don't they?"

"My jobs... Oh well, I've worked as a Sound Engineer, a roadie, a... Well... I've worked the streets, but that was when I needed the money badly... I really am not proud of it, but it's something that got me out of a bad phase in my life... I think. I can only remember some things now about that."

"Right now however, I co-own the Cordial Sin Strip Club at the West End. It's a small venue but has enough of its clients to keep it running. Someone needs a place to go and indulge in their lusts. Just like me."

"My future... Hopes, is... I'm sorry, I don't mean to cry... It's something I can't talk about."

"Because the Music is my life. It is through the Music that I live for. You will see, one day... It isn't as bad as dying. Much."

Solange LeClerc

Date: 2012-08-20 17:29 EST
My name is Solange Viviane LeClerc, political aide and Attach?.

Of course, a lady never reveals her age. And a gentleman never asks.

I am single. My responsibilities are too demanding for me to split my attention to a husband. Hearth and home are for other women who care not how the world operates nor how many pieces rely upon perfectly oiled sychronicity to keep it moving.

As for other vital statistics, I am 5'9" and 120 pounds. My eyes are dark blue most of the time, but can cloud to a stormy gray on occasion. My hair is the same shade of deep chestnut that it has been since my childhood. I do rather enjoy chess. Fancy a match?

I am human. Nouveau Bretagne, to be exact. Or New Brittany as it is called here. I have no magical abilities, unless you count charm and cunning. Not to mention my presuasive abilities. And while I prefer to leave weaponry to those who wage war, as I aim to promote peace in its various forms, I do know my way around the .38 that I keep on my person most days.

If we are taking drink orders, I will have Earl Gray tea. With sugar and the smallest splash of cream. Although a buttery chardonnay does often have its place. And a finely aged brut champagne is always cause for a toast.

My occupation is specifically varied, but generally unchanged since I was in my twenties. I am a politician. That word conjures up many irreverant visions, I know. But a politician is not simply one who runs for or occupies an office. As a political aide, I have had the great pleasure to work for a great man. Lord Rolf Clarendon, was possibly the greatest visionary that Nouveau Bret-, excuse me, New Brittany has ever had. Under his tenure I served as aide, translator, and personal dignitary. I have sat in on many private meetings between world powers and have been asked for my opinions by more than a few powerful leaders.

After Lord Clarendon's assassination, the realm of New Brittany was plunged into political darkness and revolution. Upon coming here, to this city of Rhydin, my mantle of political advisor was once more called upon by Lord Clarendon's nephew, Alain DeMourir. Or DeMuer as he is known now. As I served his uncle, I serve the new Baron of St. Aldwin. As an ambassador and an aide, he has my attention and my ear.

Ben Sullivan

Date: 2012-08-20 21:44 EST
What? An interv-- yeah, sure. Just make it quick. I'm heading out -- already got put to work.

Name's Ben Sullivan -- Benjamin, but nobody calls me that. I'm forty-eight, born in Vancouver, British Columbia. I've lived there all my life. Until now, I guess.

I'm about five foot eleven, one-eighty. Blue eyes, blond hair. I'm a little bit vain about it, sure.

I'm in the middle of a divorce -- I guess. I was when I left. And the proceedings had been complicated the whole time. No, I don't really want to get into it. I have one son, Adam. He's just turned twelve. No other family.

I've got one tattoo -- a Champion sparkplug logo on my right upper arm. Really, it's an homage to Stuart Davis, not to the car part. It's fine if you don't know who that is. No real scars that matter -- dumb everyday ones I don't keep track of.

I'm human. And I'm still getting used to the fact that there's a lot out there that isn't. No magic or anything like that.

I'm a good shot -- excellent shot. Maybe so good it's magic? Yeah, I know -- that was bad. But anyway, I'm an excellent marksman. And that's me being modest. I used to spend time helping the rookies improve their accuracy when I was working in Vancouver. I carried a Sig Sauer P226 at home. My best friend, a lot of the time.

I can hold my own in a fistfight. I was a boxer -- not anything serious -- when I was younger. I still like to work the heavy bag sometimes. Work off some aggression. Weights sometimes -- sometimes I run, but I'm not so into it that I'm running marathons or anything. Forget that. Just enough so I can keep up in a footchase.

I've killed before. I was cleared. It happens -- it's fine. I'm fine. I don't struggle with it.

I like whiskey. A good vodka martini. Beer is fine too. Truth be told, though, I don't really drink much anymore. I don't like waking up someplace and not knowing how I got there.

I joined the military right out of high school. Canadian Forces, Army. Stayed in for five years until I joined the Vancouver PD. I've worked my way up over the years. Spent some time in Gangs, some in Vice -- I'm a Senior Detective in Homicide now.

Or, I was. Until I came here.

Can I go now? I've got people to track down.
