Talents and Characters

Harold Allison (Chaos)
Desc: He is a bearded young man with messy hair and clothes that probably belong in the 80's. A red and pink sweater worn inside-out over his body and a torn pair of black windbreakers with neon stripes around the hips. He smells like he hasn't bathed in a few weeks.
Notes: Has a talent for 'seeing things as they are' that includes discerning truth from falsehood. Left Argleton to go out into the world, got his heart broken and came back.

Hollie Keys (kentari)
Desc: She is a woman whose well-kept dark brown hair falls in ever-so-curled waves with all the liveliness of a coiled spring -- or viper -- to frame a forgettably statuesque face. She wears crisp greys and lacks much adornment, but what she does carry has a certain refined air about it suggesting either time or money involved in the acquisition. In not so many words, she's a dangerously benign blend of beauty and bland.
Notes: Can make doors lead from one place to another; is apparently in the Brigade on loan from some other organization.

Sophia Ransom (Caltak)
Desc: A young girl in her early teens with medium-length dark brown hair wearing a nondescript hoodie, jeans, and sneakers and with a backpack.
Notes: She is studying at the college and has the talent to enter the bodies of others and control them.

Citizen Brigade NPCs

Emma Tompkinson
Notes: Unmet thus far, has a Talent for keeping her cool in any and all situations.

Jamie, 'ghost'
Desc: he's albino-pale, tall and thin, wearing jeans and a t-shirt that are ripped and torn: though, unlike Harold, his clothing is expensive rather than style. He's also transparent.
Notes: A 15 year old kid who has only been in Argleton a week, Jamie is the only volunteer for this program and is as friendly and cheerful as one can be when permanently intangible to the world. On the plus side, he can become close to invisible if he needs to.

Lance Christensen, police officer
Desc: Lanc is a tall, ex-football player kind of guy, all blond hair, blue eyes and an attitude that just screams 'police officer'.
Notes: He can tell if other people have a Talent and what it is at a glance.

Treyvan Donison, mayor's grandson
Desc: A shorter, bland looking guy of about 20 is sitting on one of the chairs, looking bored. He can best be described as doughy
Notes: Can regenerate, reportedly to absurd degrees, though he still feels pain. Seems to prefer watching to participating at the moment.

Veronica Lake, activist
Desc: a stern-looking woman in her late 20s who looks flat-out furious to be in the room, let alone sitting in one of the chairs. She is favouring the world with a scowl that seems to say the world had better back off or she's going to rip it a new one
Notes: She is 100% pure human, a martial arts expert and harbours a serious grudge against Talents for ruining human achievement. She used to want all Talents dead but seems to have mellowed a little over the years.  A little.

Other People


Martin & Suzie Gaylord: Brother and sister who are robbing small stores together. He gives people bad luck, she paralyses with a touch.

Anna-Jean: old bag lady who doesn't like to be touched; she claims she kills anyone she touches, and at least believes this to be true though no one has seen it happen.
Barry: a homeless man who can set his own body on fire. It only hurts if he loses control.
Carlos: regular homeless guy.
Dieter: 'leader' of the small homeless contingent in Argleton, Dieter is a binder who can make people do what he wants when sober. As such, his friends keep him at least buzzed pretty much all the time.
