Full Name: Edward Philip Dryden

Alias: Joshua

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Occupation: Unemployed

Appearance: Eddie Dryden is a Caucasian male of average height and a bit on the thin side. He dyes his naturally blond hair black and has particularly pale skin (he rarely goes out in daylight hours). Eddie tends to prefer Goth fashion.

Personality: Eddie Dryden is self-centered and narcissistic to sociopathic extremes. If he believes something, it is objectively true, since he is smarter and better informed than anyone else as well as more physically capable. He has very little patience for the thoughts, opinions, feelings, or welfare of others. As such, he is markedly antisocial and uninterested in making friends.

Biography: Eddie Dryden has had an entirely unexceptional background. A WASP from an upper middle class family in Greenfield, there has been no tragedy or misfortune in his short life, lived entirely in Jericho. He did well in school, though he was shunned by other students for his generally rude behavior and superior attitude (this resulted in more than one fight). Upon graduating from Greenfield, he sought no employment or higher education, instead living in the home of his doting parents who provide for him and ask few questions.

For the past couple of years, Eddie could be described as a “netizen”. Aside from rushed and infrequent interactions with his parents and more successful older siblings, his only real link to the outside world has been through the Internet, learning about subjects that interest him.

Radicalization might be a strong word for what has happened to the young man, but Eddie has become convinced that Jericho is some sort of fascist police state and RedWatch are a gang of jackbooted thugs- an opinion that fits in well with his anti-authority leanings. As a natural consequence, Eddie believes that the vigilantes of the past are the best answer to this issue. He has obsessively studied the famous vigilantes- Boston's Cleaver, Atlanta's Scream Queen, Louisville's Slugger, San Francisco's Candlewick, St. Louis' Freefall, and of course the hometown favorite The Shepherd. And the more Eddie think about it, the more it seems like he's the perfect person to carry out a one-man revolution.

Eddie has been preparing for months now- using the power of the internet to learn basics of bombmaking, hacking, and martial arts (he vastly overestimates his skill in these areas) as well as purchase tools and weapons (mostly knives, batons, bats, and other melee weapons). Though not a religious man by any means, Eddie has chosen Joshua as his nom de guerre- the Biblical figure who sacked and destroyed the original Jericho. Now, Eddie waits and plans for the right time to make his debut.

Miscellaneous: Eddie has chosen the Sidney Bechet version of the old spiritual Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho as his personal theme song- any online communications he makes will inevitably have it playing.

Full Name
Isaiah Lone Dallas

Alias
None

Age
25

Gender
Male

Occupation
RedWatch Rapid Response operative

Appearance
Isaiah is tall and exceptionally fit, with brown, messy hair and a scruffy chin. When not on duty, he usually wears a navy blue hoodie and blue jeans, with brown boots.

Personality
Isaiah is like a friendly giant, big, strong, and not real book-smart, but he has a large heart to compensate. He tends to be helpful to those he doesn’t know personally, and of those that he calls ‘friend’, he’s very, very protective. He tries to do as much as he can to help those that need it, but due to past mistakes, he sometimes has trouble trusting himself to protect others, causing feelings of self-loathing to boil up.

Biography
Isaiah was born on a large farm in Mississippi, living in a low-class, religious family with his mother, father, two brothers, three sisters, and an uncle. He went to the local school, and was almost always behind in nearly every class, but he certainly was a popular kid among his peers due to his friendly nature and participation in sports. During his junior year of high school, his father became down with the sickness, and Isaiah had to drop out of school so that he could work on the farm to provide for his family. Even so, he did a fairly poor job of it, and barely allowed the family much of an income. Luckily, they were able to stay afloat throughout, but Isaiah’s self-confidence was damaged, knowing he could just barely provide for the family when it needed him most.

When his father finally recovered after some time, he quit farming for good. He went back to school and finished with a goal in mind. After he graduated, he told his father what his goal was, and he reluctantly agreed. He bought him an old, used car and gave him plenty of money, enough to help make it to his destination- Jericho. He had learned about it and RedWatch on the news and on the public library’s computers, and wanted to join it so that he could help protect the innocent. After many goodbyes, he set off for Jericho. The ride was uneventful, but he was full of nervous the entire way there. When he had finally arrived, he used his dad’s money to rent a small, dirty apartment, and successfully joined RedWatch Rapid Response after going through the recruitment phase. Now, he waits for the time when he has to to take up arms and do his duty.

Miscellaneous- Loves gambling and drinking.

Full Name: Amanda Szilard, nee Loch
Alias: Her call sign during her service in RedWatch was “Salamander”
Age: 48
Gender: Female

Occupation:
Former operative in RedWatch’s Rapid Response Team, currently the owner and manager of “Loch and Key”, a popular dockside bar in Hidden Narrows.


Personality:
No one in their right mind would call Amanda a “people person”, but hey, she tries. Blunt and very quick to point out the flaws in basically everything, Mandy is pretty fun to talk to once you get to know her. If she likes you long enough, that is. The irascible bar-owner is quick to make assumptions and even quicker to kick you out of her family establishment if you even do so much as drop a plate. Mandy is quite the problem solver and is always quick to take action, both skills that she acquired during her time as a RedWatch officer. Has great faith in the law enforcement agency.

Biography:
Born and raised in Greenfield to a Scottish family. Was an above average student, her natural athleticism made her enlist into RedWatch. Was hailed as a military genius. Her hard work eventually landed her into the Rapid Response Team, where she would meet her future husband. She relished the excitement and often spearheaded operations during RedWatch’s anti-crime campaign in the 90s. Gained her nickname early into her career when she threw a suspect and herself into the bay after hauling him out of a burning Dock building.
Honorably discharged from RedWatch in 2005 when her father died of liver cancer, leaving her to inherit the family business. Now spends her days tending the bar and regaling patrons with stories of her military career. Occasionally longs for the excitement she felt in RedWatch but is generally content with her current lifestyle.

Miscellaneous:
Married to a currently active RedWatch officer, Maxwell Szilard, who briefly worked in the same squad as Amanda before her retirement.
Chose with her husband to not have children.
Still in possession of her Rapid Response Team uniform and several firearms, thanks to her husband. They remain unused at the bottom of her closet.
Has a flaming salamander tattoo on her inner left forearm as a reminder of the good times in RedWatch
