Name: Dwayne Hudson Age: Mid 20s Appearance: Faction: House of Hudson Sidearm: Dwayne owns a small flick knife that he keeps strapped to the side of his ankle as well as a 6 shot revolver that operates differently compared to regular revolver designs. The rear of the gun contains an ejector slide that discards the fired shells much like how a semi-auto pistol expels it's used ammunition. This means that when reloading the user is always loading ammo into an empty barrel, thus making it slightly faster to reload than normal. Skills: Dwayne is an adaptable fast draw shooter, although his aim is not always as good as what he hopes it would be. He is also handy with repairing mechanical objects from his years while working in the mines near Orhurst. Bio: Dwayne is a younger brother to Jeffery H. Jnr and remembers very little about his father, Jeffery H. Snr, as the man was arrested when Dwayne was just a child. He grew up most of his life being cared for by his mother and the house maid while receiving a good education. When he reached his teenage years he began working for the mines that his family owned as a machine mechanic and repairman. Even though he was a part of the family business it didn't make his job easy. Occasionally he would have to venture underground for a couple of days in order to set up the rail tracks so the mining carts could enter the freshly uncovered caverns. For his 21st birthday his family bought him a hand crafted revolver, both as a gesture of thank you for the work that he did and as a token for entering into adulthood. During his free time he would practice his shooting skills and found the quick reflex nature came almost second nature to him. At the moment he is helping his brother run the family with their many relatives and all their individual affairs in order to keep their high status in society.

Name: Aura Lodestone Age: 16 male Appearance: Faction: Civilian Sidearm: Gear Blade ( custom made weapon that generally began as a gear but through dabbling too much ended up as some for of blade, the gears on the hilt of the weapon allows the length to be adjusted from ten centimeters to twenty centimeters currently. The gear when loaded with coal can trigger a slight steam function that only aims to make it cut better by the steam being released through hidden pores. Currently can not be used for more than five seconds due to the steam starting to flow out of the gear to the user's hands. This prototype needs to be improved but sadly no one is willing to help him make such a useless weapon when a real sword could do a far better job, however its portable nature is at least ideal for cutting bread and so on which is what he generally uses it for ) Skills: Not a genius and not a novice, he is a general engineer and crafter who is still learning. He is able to fix and dabble in most things, however the only thing he is somewhat good at are engineering Gears and in this case makes Timers as well for clocks, mining explosives and other machinery. He is primarily left handed, but is co-ordinated with both hands. Cooking, cleaning and general errand running Bio: Aura V Lodestone, it is unclear what the V stands for as his mother sold him off to the mines to work for the Aristocrats to pay off a debt under the guidance of the Hudson Family who ran the mines and was due to an agreement between the Aristocrats and the Hudsons. His family name was based on an old mining family, however his talent for mining was not up to standard as he got tired too quickly and got sick too often. Not wishing to lose out on their servant producing them with a return for their investment, they began using him for minor errands as he would cook, clean and do just about anything the aristocrats did not want to do themselves. He was a shy boy and also a quiet one at that, so he avoided trying to mingle with other kids his age and was outcast due to his servant status. Due to his talent for performing errands he was not well received by the other servants who ended up having to work harder since the stupid boy did not know you should hide how much you can actually do or you end up with more and more work until you can not take it anymore. He occasionally got beaten up and while he still does cry, his not quick to cry unless he trusts someone which currently rates as no one. He enjoys tinkering with gears, but his main creation the gear blade is still a work in progress along with his strange headwear which just basically blocks out or muffles sounds. The others felt it was stupid since you could just block your ears or something instead of this weird stupid looking device which later got stolen by a bunch of kids and used as a toy for some dogs. Being bullied and mistreated often he was not really enjoying his life and suddenly his life changed as the family he served under got killed off in an attack on the mansion. With his masters dead and nowhere else to go he now roams the streets with his stuff which includes a broken headset, his gear blade, just the bit of clothing he stole from the aristocrat section and customised in secret, though he just felt it was better to have it look a bit stupid so they would not figure out he stole it. He also has a small loaf of bread and two bottles of water left. Now he wonders where he will go and what he will do other than work on his gears again

Name: Dr. Vito Elmore Age: 34 Appearance: Faction: Civilian Sidearm: None, just carry a briefcase with surgical tools. Skills: Knowledgeable in most aspect of medicine but does not practice them all. Dr. Elmore exclusively deals with surgery and refused patient with other complaints. He especially avoids any patient with infectious diseases. Bio: As a child, Vito always looked up to his father as a local family physician. He worked hard to be admitted in a medical school and eventually graduated to help his father with the clinic work. Many patients had seen him as a kind and understanding physician that saw them as individuals instead of as diseases. Among his colleagues, he was a great diagnostician and reductionist. For a while, everything seemed to be going in the right direction for Vito. He was taking over his father’s practice, and had made plans to marry a local girl, Bridget. However, an unfortunate contamination lead Vito to become infected with flesh-eating disease near his face and limbs. He survived the incident but was left scarred over a large percent of his body. He returned to work after the recovery but he began noticing the look of disgust some patients give him when they saw his face. His marriage to Bridget was the only brilliance during these dark days. Despite Bridget’s encouragement and persuasion, Vito began resenting his work as a physician in the clinic as he found people to be unworthy of his help. After his father passed, Vito closed down the clinic and returned to further medical training. When he finished, he took Bridget with him to Londonary where he opened a new clinic that specializes in surgery. It was here that he began wearing the bird mask used once before by physicians during the Black Plague. He accepted no one else in his clinic except those with surgical concerns, and his procedure often came at an unreasonably high cost. Although on the surface, Vito’s practice seemed to be barely out of the ordinary with regular civilians coming in and out each day to seek treatment. However, Vito’s patient often come with questionable backgrounds, as he has no moral qualms about who he operates on. Murderers, thieves, smugglers, anyone with money to spare. His client slowly began diverging, and he began being called upon to assist in “suicides”, and preserved several “volunteered” bodies in formaldehyde to practice on. He kept most of his practice secret from Bridget, and came home for dinner regularly everyday. On the other hand, Bridget began studying from her husband’s books and began helping patients that her husband refused to treat. The two never bothered each other in terms of their practice, and lived in peace during their stay in Londonary.

Name: Kacey Wall Age: Middle Age Appearance: Faction: Aristocrats Sidearm: A dual set of Brass Knuckle Knives that have a spring loaded blade which opperates by pressing a button near the thumbs. Skills: A man trained in several forms of martial arts and practices his skills in illegal pit and cage fighting is a force to be feared, and Kacey is one of those men. He is a bit of a dirty fighter occasionally and has been known to pull knives during some of these fights. Bio: Michael and Kacey are both twins who were born into the Aristocrat family and were approached at a young age to deal with the Children of Umbra. Together with Jeffery Hudson Snr they dealt with the organisation leaders and did so in a very bloody way. Their involvement did not go unnoticed and several witnesses told the courts that they saw the murders that the twins contributed to, however both twins had an alibi that proved their innocence and thus they were acquitted on all counts. Over the years after the Children of Umbra killings, the two twins rose within the house ranks to a position where they were in control of several divisions of the Aristocrat's legacy.

Name: Tyler Jeremiah Age: 32 Appearance: Lean build, defined jaw line and light stubble; bright green eyes and dark brown, almost black hair Faction: Civilian: Mechanic Sidearm: A spring-activated knife that Tyler constructed himself in his free time. The blade is longer than a typical pocket knife but otherwise is the same. Skills: Tyler is good at fixing basic machines and small gadgets. Having grown up working in his father's mechanic shop, and since his father's death taken over the business, he's gotten his share of experience. Bio: Tyler grew up in a decent household. That is to say, he always had at least two meals a day. His father owned a machine shop in the lower end of the City of Londonary. When he was 9, Tyler's father brought him into the shop to start learning the trade of being a mechanic. Tyler quickly grew accustomed to the dirt and grime that came with working on machines, and soon grew a talent. After his father passed away at the age of 53, Tyler took over the shop at 17. Once he began working on his own, he started promoting the shop, which he renamed Machine's Cure. Over the years, he's gotten a steady flow of business and income, and has a house in the middle class area of the city, though the shop is more in the lower end section. Instead of finding a different job to get out of the lower end area, he continues to work at his shop. This is mostly in dedication respect to his father, who kept him fed and healthy, but also due to his skill in fixing machines.

Name: Khorshid Nassir os-Saltaneh or Kent Mirza Age: Twenty-Eight Appearance: Khorshid's appearance reflects his Persian heritage, his eyes a steely black, his hair thick, wavy, and coif, and his nose slightly curved. Khorshid stands at 6'2" and is known for his boyish good looks. While his eyes are heavy-set and stern, his soft features and ever-present smile make him very approachable. Khorshid is often seen wearing clothes that is typical of an Englishman and will usually abandon his coat and roll up his sleeves when he is working. Faction: Children of Umbra Sidearm: None Skills: Originally a student in Astronomy and a life-long academic, Khorshid has gained exceptional knowledge of science and mathematics. His understanding of theoretical science typically makes him a useful partner in research projects. Bio: Khorshid Nassir os-Saltaneh is the fifth child of twelve born into the line of the Shah of the Persian Empire. As a child, Khorshid suffered from a debilitating heart condition that left him bed-ridden for most of his formative years. When he wasn't resting, he was often seen studying, spending hours researching and reading about the most recent scientific endeavor. Eventually, medical advancements and additional treatments allowed Khorshid to recover enough to begin living a relatively normal life. He must take pills twice a day to maintain his health, otherwise he could go into cardiac arrest. As a teenager, Khorshid spent less time researching scientific discovery and focused instead on the world around him. He became aware of the political state of the Persian Empire and wished to end the attempts of imperialism by Western nations. Khorshid heavily involved himself in the business of the Persian military, and eventually, he joined the ranks as an officer at the age of eighteen. However, his years as a soldier were tumultuous at best. Eventually, Khorshid retired from the military and returned to academia in England. While at University, he returned to his passions and began to study Astronomy. Studying became a tool of escapism as the conditions at home continued to escalate. In order to protect himself, Khorshid took on the name Kent Mirza and became somewhat of a recluse for a time being. Not long after this, Khorshid's interests began to shift, his focus turning more to the matter of sustainable energy and alchemy. He kept these interests private, and maintained his persona as an Astronomy professor by day. To this day he continues as a researcher, keeping any thoughts of revolution to himself.
