Name: Harry Dresden
Age: Nearing 40
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Wizard)
Physical Description: Harry has a long lean face, dark eyes, a vertical line of a scar under the left one. He is tall and fit. He doesn't wear a beard and is instead clean shaven.
Personality:
Harry is basically a good guy. He opened his private practice to help people who needed helping. He's also got a chivalric code — he can't stand seeing a woman or child in distress, and may make questionable judgment calls involving women. Harry is also stubborn as all hell, which can both keep him going against impossible odds and make him unable to give up on things.
He's got a sharp wit, and is very irreverent, and is known for making witty comebacks, often to people he probably shouldn't. It goes well with his anti-authoritarian streak — he's considered a bit of a loose cannon on the White Council and was only made a Warden (a magical enforcer) because the Council was seriously shorthanded on wizards trained in combat magics.
History:
Harry was born on Halloween, to Margaret LeFay and Malcolm Dresden. His mother died in childbirth, so Malcolm took care of him while travelling across the country trying to make a career as a stage magician. When Harry was six, Malcolm died of a brain aneurysm. Harry, orphaned, became a ward of the state.
Harry first manifested his powers at age ten, during a running long jump at school Olympics in the spring. About two weeks after first manifesting, he was adopted by Justin DuMorne, a wizard and former Warden of the White Council, who took him as his apprentice. At sixteen, DuMorne tried to enthrall both Harry and his girlfriend, fellow adoptee Elaine Mallory. He succeeded in enthralling Elaine, but Harry escaped. He faced and beat He Who Walks Behind, an Outsider summoned by DuMorne to kill Harry; afterwards, he decided to go back and rescue Elaine. Harry made a bargain with the Leanansidhe in which he received power enough to defeat Justin DuMorne, a debt he would owe his godmother for years to come. Harry faced DuMorne in a duel to the death and won. He stole Bob, the air spirit of knowledge, and left, thinking Elaine died in the fire.
Harry was then found by the White Council and was put on trial for breaking the First Law of Magic. He was let off the death penalty due to the killing being ruled as self defense, and instead was put under the Doom of Damocles. Harry was taken in as apprentice by Ebenezar McCoy, Harry's grandfather. Harry lived with McCoy on his farm in Hog Hollow, Missouri; his days were spent with hard work on the farm during the day, and studying in the evening. Although McCoy taught him about magic, his teaching of general values and providing a stable and peaceful life and home were even more important, and crucial for shaping his life.
After spending some years "getting his head together" under McCoy's tutelage, Harry attained membership to the Council, though he didn't, and still doesn't, trust them. He spent some years travelling across America, much like he did with his father, before settling down in Chicago.
After he first came to Chicago, he worked at a bunch of different jobs. He then joined Nicholas Christian at Ragged Angel Investigations, where he spent three years gaining his licence as a private investigator. After this, he opened his own business, which had been open for two years as Storm Front opens.
Skills:
- Is a P.I.
- Listening- When Harry focuses he can hear things most normal people can't. However his attention to other things is very poor when he does this.
- Wizard's Constitution- He can take a beating better than your average human.
Powers:
- Evocation
- Elements: Fire, Air and Spirit
- Thaumaturgy
- The Sight- Second sight. Can see beyond the physical
- Soulgaze- If Harry meets someone's eyes for more than a few seconds, they will soulgaze.
Other:
- Staff- A long staff used for channeling magic
- Blasting Rod- A rod used for channeling fire spells
- Enchanted Duster- Enchanted to work as armor against various attacks
- Shield bracelet- Used for creating force field
- Energy-storing rings- Rings which are enchanted to store a small fraction of kinetic energy into them at all times
- Silver Pentacle Pendant- Used for various spells
- Margaret’s jewel- Added to the Pendant. This jewel contains Harry’s mother, Margaret LeFay's vast knowledge of the Ways.
Name: Lola Jenkins
Age: 73
Gender: Female
Race: Human (Wizard-Minor Talent)
Physical Description: Lola is short at five foot three. Most of it's because she's a little hunched over. She dyes her hair brown and has brown eyes.
Personality: Lola is a happy woman. She enjoys life and tries to make everyone around her happy. She's what you'd think of when you think of a kindly grandmother.
History: Lola was born and raised in Eagle Rock. She married the love of her life, Ian, at the age of seventeen. She never went to college and instead had three children. Two of which no longer live in Eagle Rock. Her husband still works sometimes as a volunteer, he was always restless. When Lola was in her twenties the couple bought their first home. Over the years they moved twice. Their current home was bought only six years ago. It's a smaller home, made for only two people. But it's still 17,000 square feet.
Skills: Lola is a busybody. She knows everyone's business and offers unsolicited advice. Though she means well.
Powers: Lola is a paranetter, which means she's a minor talent. Her one talent is a Green Thumb. She's able to help things grow. Her back yard, despite the weather is the only green one anywhere in Eagle Rock.
Other: Lola is the one who called Harry to Eagle Rock. He's currently staying with her and her husband.

Name: Peyton Lee
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Pure Mortal (or so he believes)
Physical Description: brown hair and blazing blue eyes, and always quick with a charming smile. Peyton stands six feet even and has all the characteristics of a multi-sport jock (a toned body, quick feet, and broad shoulders). His choice of clothing ranges from sports jerseys to Star Wars to plain t-shirts, all coupled with blues jeans and a good pair of boots (sneakers were always for the sports, never for regular wear). but the one thing he always wears, his mother's brown leather jacket (no matter the weather).
Personality: Having traveled frequently Peyton is some what of an introvert, knowing that in no time at all, he would be leaving those behind that he just met. Once he opens up, however, Peyton is caring and willing to take lead. He likes to joke, and not take life too seriously.
History: Peyton lost his mother when he was a child, though it was never confirmed by family that she died, they just said she was "gone". So, naturally Peyton grew attached to his father -- they traveled frequently, never staying long in one place, so it came as a shock when his father decided to settle down in Eagle Rock as a Park Ranger for YellowStone. Unfortunately that's when tragedy struck, and Peyton's father died -- the Park Rangers said he was mauled by a bear, though his body was not found in the park proper. This left Peyton with little choice but to find a job, and try to work his way through college. With limited choices in a small town like Eagle Rock, Peyton managed to scrape up a job at Trade Winds (one of those stores that claims to heal people through nature).
Skills: Persuasion, Diplomacy, Athletics
Powers: None
Other: Mother's Brown Leather Jacket is stitched with various symbols, who's meanings Peyton has never deciphered

Name: Bernard Alexander
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Therianthrope (Werebear)
Physical Description: Bernard is an even six feet tall and his muscular form weighs in around 180lbs. His hair is dark brown and thick and his eyes are the color of dark honey. For the most part, he usually wears simple, cheap, and comfortable clothing. Dark colored t-shirts and neutral sweats are common, as are flip-flops and other sandals. The kinds of things that can easily be replaced after one turns into a 750 pound grizzly bear.
Personality: A lot of people think Bernard is fairly slow, but generally that is because he rarely has something to say and when he does he takes his time to think about it. Almost everything he does is carefully considered and every situation is met with patience and intelligence. Most of the time he just ignores people and hopes they return the favor. It takes a lot to irritate or anger him, but once he's pissed he has a hard time keeping a lid on it. People know by now to steer clear of him when he's having a bad day.
History: Growing up is never easy, especially for a shapeshifter. Bernard's family was forced to move several times, but most notably after his first transformation. Four people ended up badly injured when he came to the defense of a young girl they had been bullying. Only thirteen at the time, Bernard was left confused and distraught by the event. His mother explained the facts of life to him then, and he understood more of why his family always seemed so removed from the others around them.
As the years passed, Bernard's father began to resent the fact that his family could not settle down and prosper in the way he had had envisioned. He took this anger out on his wife and child in little ways, but it was noticeable and eventually drove a wedge between all three of them.
Bernard only moved to and started attending classes in Eagle Rock somewhat recently. His parents' marriage had begun to fall apart, and with a divorce on the way he left the family home and all the drama far behind. Having a scholarship independent of the school he was previously going to made it easy to transfer over and meant he really only had to work to support himself. To that end, he has taken a job at a local book store.
Skills: Besides being smarter than he generally seems, Bernard is good at reading situations and people. He also knows a great deal about surviving on one's own, though he has an advantage in that particular area.
Powers: Bernard can transform into a huge bear and back, but that's about it. Compared to the average human, he has a high metabolism, body temperature, and pain tolerance. His ability to shift forms was inherited from his mother, though he does use a talisman to facilitate it. While the fifteen seconds or so that it takes to shift aren't quite painful, it does put stress on his mind and body. He is only capable of minor partial shifts, and has very little control over these. Usually when he is angry or upset, his eyes will darken, his teeth and fingernails will elongate to resemble fangs and claws, and his voice will become rough and slightly inhuman.
Other: A necklace made from glass beads and bear claws. It serves as a talisman for Bernard, allowing him to better control his transformations and drawing away some of the stress of the act itself.

Name: Antoni Entrerios.
Age: 20.
Gender: Male.
Race: Changeling (believes himself to be human).
Physical Description: Antoni is preternaturally tall (almost 7' 0"), and far thinner than anyone has any right to be, with bones showing against his skin almost everywhere. He has short brown hair, a mild tan, a large, pointed nose, and an eternally nervous expression. Most people that meet him assume that he's starving, rather than merely having barely enough skin to go around. Due to his height, he tends to wear whatever he can, which leads to an eclectic assortment of t-shirts, jeans, and especially baggy sweaters.
Personality: Kinda awkward, but nice enough. Stutters a bit, and has been that way since birth. Has garnered a reputation as a bit paranoid, mostly because he is. Very much a crowd-pleaser (at least, that's what he tries to be). Strangely enough, Antoni is a very good public speaker; he keeps the stutter, but all of his nervousness seems to melt away.
History: Antoni grew up in a small town in Catalonia, Spain, which was located between two rivers that split before they entered the town, then became one again as they left, making it a pseudo-island. Antoni was no different from any other child, save for his magical talent. His childhood was mostly that of a normal kid, though he was raised by his father, since his mother skipped out on them when Antoni was 1. He also had the addition of practicing his unique, water-based magic whenever he got a chance. He had always harbored an interest in other cultures and languages, and since there weren't any good colleges for that sort of thing nearby, he decided to go to college in Eagle Rock after hearing that their language program was particularly extensive. He's gotten an apartment near one of the nearby shallow lakes, and has a job at a bookstore in town. However, there's something Antoni doesn't know about himself; he's actually a changeling, and his mother was one of the more benevolent Winter fey (which isn't saying much), hence his affinity for water.
Skills: Public speaking, running, and speaking other languages (though understanding them is an entirely different story).
Powers: Antoni is a fairly good focused mage, specializing in water magic. His spells aren't affected by running water like other wizards, but to compensate, they're much less powerful. His best spell is to create a small jet of water and throw it at someone with force enough to take off someone's head, but it drains him quite a bit, so he tries to stick to things like a water whip, a la Katara. His magic is also useful for such things as healing magic (though the afflicted area needs to be wet for it to work), breathing underwater (only for a few minutes though), power over ice and water vapor (less powerful than plain water though), and various mundane utilities like chilling drinks and cleaning laundry.
Other: Has a knife that his parents gave him when he was a kid that he uses as both a keepsake and a focus. There's also a handy enchantment on it that lets it act as an impromptu flashlight. He's also fluent in Catalonian and Spanish, has a good enough grasp of English to understand his professors, and uses words in Basque to cast his spells, though he can't speak it outside those few words. His favorite drink is root beer.
