Sonya Barnes
You work as a receptionist for an engineering firm. You wear your hair short, spiked and purple, and pierce whatever body parts are available for piercing. You think that the firm's management are pod people.
Max Bennett
You and your wife, Aileen, were poor newlyweds, living hand-to-mouth in cheap crappy apartments, until you and your computer genius business partner founded a highly successful Internet software company. The two of you lucked out, selling the company shortly before the dot com bubble went bust, leaving you wealthy beyond your wildest dream. You and your wife bought a mansion, planned to start a family and furnish the house with tasteful antiques. Your first purchase was a grandfather clock, just before leaving for a speaking trip in California.
By the time you came back, your wife had disappeared without a trace. After 3 months, you hired private detectives, as the police hadn't turned up anything. A week later, the Aileen and her car were found in Lake Arthur, where she'd slid off the road.
Shortly thereafter, you started up your own detective agency, refusing anything other than missing persons cases. One unusual case involved a teenage boy that had been found by your client, who'd hired you to locate his family. The family never turned up, but after watching the boy track down a poacher on his adoptive mother's land, you picked him up to help with a lost child case a week or so later. That led to a part-time job, and after the boy saved your life years later, a full partnership.
More recently, you and he discovered the existance of aliens during what originally had seemed to be a standard multiple-murder and missing persons case (only aliens could make that seem standard). Other than your experience and observation skills, you don't have any special abilities to ferret them out, but you believe that is enough to help.
David Chino
You work part-time for a detective agency. You bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to your work, and you do pretty good at the day-to-day tasks, but you don't really have a gift for digging in and getting things down without close supervision. You're more the guy who gets assigned to follow the cheating wife and snap a few pictures than the guy who tracks down the murderer and tricks him into confessing.
Germain Degas
You are a man with a purpose. To rid the world of evil aliens.
They actually exist. You know it, and soon enough, everyone else will (if they don't know already).
The aliens have been here for at least 200 years, infiltrating in secret, slowly infecting human beings until they are human in appearance only. You know how to kill them, and you are pretty sure that you can identify them. So you've taken it upon yourself to augment the organized efforts against them in your own way. Violently.
Gunter Detterson
You're a professional photographer. You do freelance photography for newpapers and magazine articles, and are fairly well known in your field for your expertise. You own your own photography studio, and take commissions for personal photographs as well as your freelance work.
Bridget Fisher
You work as a hypnotist and therapist, and you get most of your clients through word of mouth. You're a solid, honest person and hold your clients' wellbeing as strictly as a doctor would for his patients. You like to spend your free time in the garden and you have quite a bit of skill growing herbs and other plants.
Earl Frakes
You work at the county morgue as deputy coroner, which means lots of nice icky autopsies. You're just an average middle-aged coroner with a heart condition.
Adam Goodman
You grew up in California. After graduating high school, you went through several positions as a security guard at amusement parks and malls, and then moved on to work as a high school janitor. You like to date teenage girls, a quirk which landed you in San Quentin for 10 years. You're a real piece of work, but at least you're human.
Janet Haze
You just recently finished grad school with a doctorate in robotics. You live in the attic bedroom of a house that you share with thee other grad students. You also own a trio of ferrets and enjoy reading science fiction in your spare time.
Hex
You are Hex, the last survivor of the scout ship that crashed on Earth over 200 years ago. Your species, an Alien race called the Ontongard, reproduces by infecting the dominant indigenous life forms with your cells, which gradually infect the host and convert them their DNA until they are fully Ontongard, which are called Gets. On this planet, humans are the preferred hosts.
The host species on your home planet were humanoids similar in appears to humans, allowing you to pass for human on casual inspection, although a closer investigation would reveal your alien nature.
You and your Gets can communicate mentally among yourselves without the humans being aware of your conversations.
Your first order of business is to attempt a conversion of 3 select humans. Once that task is done, you intend to begin wholesale conversion of the human infestation on this planet. Once you and your Gets outnumber the pests, you will signal the colonization ship, currently shielded on the 4th planet of this system, whose crew and passengers are still in cryogenic sleep for the journey.
Grant Hutchinson
You used to have it all. You were working at a meaningful job in the NSA and engaged to marry a beautiful, smart, compassionate woman, who was an heiress to several million dollars, but you didn't care about that.
Until one day, your fiancee began chatting with several nice-seeming people on the Internet. She eventually met with them, in public, with friends to escort her there (can't be too safe with all those Internet weirdos out there, after all). And then, she got up and left with them.
She's been seen once since, when she said goodbye to her parents, cleaned out her bank accounts and pawned her jewelry.
You've "gone rogue" to try tracking her down (or at least to find out what happened to her) but have to be somewhat circumspect, lest your superiors realize you're edging around official channels for a case you're personally involved in.
Elsie Janda
You work for a corporation called Tribot that oversees a number of top-secret government projects. You have recently been appointed the new project leader on the Mars Rover project.
Ari Johnson
You work as a patrolman for the city. The recent rash of kidnappings hits you quite personally, as you and your wife have recently have triplets. Life is so hectic that you have actually started keeping spare baby needs in your squad car.
Alicia Kraynak
You are a graduate student in geology at Pitt and, until recently, have worked part-time answering phones and filing paperwork at a detective agency. You live with your uncle and his family. You like to make your own jewelry and have a tendency to dye your hair blue or purple.
Raymond Kraynak
You are a police detective, and a damn good one. You live with your wife, kids, niece and a dog named Radar. Strangely enough, you can't stand the sight of blood, despite being a Gulf War vet.
You don't know all that much about finding or fighting aliens, but you're going to do your best to give as much help as you can, by ferreting out any suspicious moves.
Sam Killington
You've just moved across country, for multiple reasons: to get away from your ex-husband, to consider an attractive job offer, and to consider other possibilities with the attractive man who extendeded the job offer, and already you're in the middle of action and intrigue. Not the least of which was that not too long ago, you spent an hour or so chasing the car of a kidnapper. On foot. Dressed in your t-shirt, panties and a gun.
And you thought that the whole alien thing was going to be the most difficult part of this whole setup to accept.
Eve Linden
You're a normal teenage girl who doesn't get along well with your family. You've been drifting along for a couple of years, sleeping on friends' couches, staying with more distant relatives from time to time. One of your aunts pays for a cell phone for you to keep in touch, and recently gave you a nice amount of money for school clothes if you go back in the fall. You're a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan, so you might spend the cash on some tickets instead.
Ukiah Oregon
Your name is Ukiah Oregon. Yes, like the town. Your mother named you after the town, in fact, when she caught you in a humane wolf trap nearby.
She and her partner civilized you and raised you, until they had a daughter of their own. At that point, they realized that they needed to find your family and hired an investigator specializing in missing persons. The case was never solved, but due to your tracking skills, you started working part-time to help find missing kids. You're now a full partner in the detective agency, and weird things have started happening. Murders, kidnappings, vanishing bodies, finding out that you're not completely human. And you've also fallen in love. With an FBI agent.
Due to your unique heritage, you can "sense" the alien nature of the Ontongard beings that are infiltrating the Earth. And you've got access to the FBI files of those suspected of several of the kidnappings and murders. Between the two of those, you're confident that you can help by identifying those responsible for all this mess.
John Pender
You're a young man from New Hampshire, where your parents still live, and you joined the Temple of New Reason about 2 years ago. You have turned over most, if not all, of your personal property to the Temple, including your car; however, you are not a very prominent member of the organization.
Michael Picray
You work an ordinary job as an accountant. You're good with numbers, and finances, and keeping records. You're not what anyone would call a "people person" but you get along well enough with your clients and that, along with your financial skills, keeps your office going as a rather lucrative business.
Rennie Shaw
For you, the struggle to defend Earth began on a battlefield during the American Civil War. You were a 23-year-old Union officer, with a wife and a baby son. Trapped beneath a dead horse, you were wounded dying, when a mysterious stranger passed nearby and you called out for help. The man offered you a choice: he could kill you quickly and painlessly, or he could curse you with his help. When you chose the second option, he injected you with a syringe of of his own blood.
That man was Coyote, formerly a wolf, who had been infected in a similar manner by the mutated alien that called itself Prime, which converted him into what is called a "Get", a host that contains the memory and DNA of the alien being. Prime, and all his Gets, hold the mutation of perceiving themselves as individual beings, rather than part of a single massive organism, as is normal for most of the alien Ontongard.
Today, you lead leads the Dog Warriors, one of five Pack clans made up of Prime's Gets. The other 4 are the Demon Curs, Devil Dogs, Hell Hounds and Wild Wolves. The Pack is an outlaw motorcycle gang, and most of the members are on the FBI Most Wanted lists, for actions that stem from the ongoing war with the alien Ontongard.
John Rizzo
You used to work out of Boston as a private investigator, with a reputation for skirting the edge of the law. You were hired by a wealthy couple to retrieve their daughter from the Temple of New Reason and deliver her to a deprogramming team. You infiltrated the Temple easily, but were only a member for a short period of time before you began to fall under their sway yourself.
Marie Tovin
You're just an average, everyday young woman who recently happened to hit the jackpot when you started to date an extremely wealthy businessman with money to burn, and pay your bills. Which is a good thing, because you love to shop.
Wil Trace
You are an FBI agent, stationed in Pittsburgh. You have a wife, three kids, and 10 years of experience dealing with gangs and organized crime
Christina Whillet
You are a wealthy heiress, having inherited about ten million dollars from your grandfather, in a trust fund that provides a yearly allowance of $100,000. In the past, you have donated a large portion of this to charities, mostly dealing with terminally ill children and battered women. The Temple hopes to get access to your money, so they will not kill when you are present (although they have no qualms about beating someone nearly to death).
Indigo Zheng
You were always the black sheep of the family. Your parents never understood why you chose to become a law enforcement agent, rather than work with them in the restaurant that your family has run for three generations.
They understand even less how you could get yourself engaged to a "long-haired, teenage, Native American, Unitarian, Wolf Boy" that you've known for three months.
And you could never even begin to explain to them about the aliens. So you haven't even tried.
Dmitriy Zlotnikov
You grew up in Pittsburgh, and made an effort to attend college, but ending up dropping out. One of the first job you held after that was working at the very secure Iron Mountain storage facility. Your hobbies include high explosives, and you're very useful in booby-trapping compromised Temple-owned property before it is abandoned by the group.
You work as a receptionist for an engineering firm. You wear your hair short, spiked and purple, and pierce whatever body parts are available for piercing. You think that the firm's management are pod people.
