DefaultLocations and Characters list, revised January 2008



Locations:
*** On board commercial aircraft. This usually is just where introductions and entrances take place, but you never know.
*** Los Angeles and its environs. The 'Release the Bats' chat episode took place in Anaheim which is technically the next county over.

***Eliza’s father’s house in the orange groves of Riverside (Inland  Empire, California, about an hour’s drive east southeast of Los  Angeles)


Within Los Angeles:
***The airport. Los Angeles International unless otherwise noted. Highly secure, huge and with amazingly adequate parking. Ugly traffic though.
*** The Tradewinds pawnshop. Yes, it's an actual pawnshop. Owned and operated by Mitchim('s role).
*** The Blue Dog. Coffeehouse and hangout somewhere on Fairfax.

 ***Business suites near Los Angeles International Airport.

***Church of the Visitation, downtown Los Angeles (which is north of and outside of Watts)
*** Tether of Eli, somewhere in Watts and within walking distance of Pioneer’s Rest cemetery, a soul food restaurant on the ground floor of an office building. Watts, for those who don't know, is a very rough part of town where two gangs live and kill within blocks of each other. The tether is on the Black/Crips side.

***Pioneer’s Rest cemetery, the only neutral ground between two major gangs “Crips” and “Florencia” in Watts, violated on All Soul’s Night/Dia de los Muertos.

***Jasmine’s garden apartment

***Gavin Russo’s run-down apartment in Watts



Dramatis Personae: Player Characters
*** Mitchim, Seraph of Trade and owner of the Tradewinds pawnshop.
No-nonsense and serious. Finds Corat a bit flighty (forgive the pun). played by Puck
*** Nain, Bright Lilim of Destiny. Role of a bartender with a personality to pull that off nicely, friendly and inquisitive. played by Mysteris
*** Shenmachel, Seraph of the Sword in the role of Gerhard Reuter, Interpol officer. "apparently a tall, blond man with light blue, almost grey eyes and a stern facial expression" and insanely perfect posture. played by Methariel
*** Rina-el, Mercurian servitor of Flowers, role of Jasmine. Apparently local to Los Angeles, she has a very flower personality--warmhearted, demonstrative, forgiving, even flirtatious. Which drives Seraphim to fits! Describes herself as an "old friend" of Corat's. played by Sylver

***Zahira, Bright Lilim of Faith.  Role of a Roman Catholic nun (Sisters of Charity)  played by alexondria

***Ashbel, Cherub of Fire, role of Ashlee "Ash" Kuhman, firefighter  played by radlilim

Dramatis Personae: Non-Player Characters in order of appearance

*** Pepito, Impudite of Dark Humor, role of Chris Breckenridge high school Goth kid. Is generally considered small fry in L.A., and rumored to be bound to his vessel. Put in a homeschooling program for acting up at school.  Mixed up with Gavin Russo and his Dark Man.  Orders from above demand his destruction.  Dating Eliza on the rebound.
*** His mother Jen Breckenridge, very attached to her peculiar son especially after her husband’s death and Chris’ near(?)-death, both in automobile accidents.
*** Corat of the East Wind, Ofan of the Wind in service to War, in the role of John Wyatt, U.S. Federal Air Marshall. Commonly borrows the body of Alx LeDante, L.A. area artist, through some kind of friendly arrangement. Wyatt is a stereotypical Ofan-times-Wind, perhaps excessively so.  Usually friendly and seemingly trusting, he has a notorious habit of leaving out important information. Joined the Big Brothers to get closer to Pepito and make his life miserable by suggesting the homeschooling route, among other things.
*** Ryuki Watari, sorcerer of some renown. Japanese-American occultist/theurge who is rumored to be attempting to summon angels (which is theoretically impossible). Highly intelligent, wealthy, good-looking, and somewhat spoiled.  By reputation an excellent swordsman with a fierce temper.  He is respected and feared by the occult community, and rumors suggest this is in part due to some very crafty deal making. He and Corat seem to know each other well; Corat describes him as a "f**king loan shark".  Rina-el is considerably more charitable.
*** Gavin Russo. A recently divorced sorceror formerly know for throwing wild and fascinating parties.  In the past year or so he became mixed up with the ‘Dark Man’, an involvement that destroyed his marriage and ultimately his life.   He led the ritual that was supposed to summon angels, while Ryuki was present. They appear to be acquaintances and on some level rivals.  Killed by Lupe, the Corps’ Wheel of the Sword, presumably with her sword.

**”Lysette (nee Lisa) girl Goth at the ritual, minding the door.

***Gideon, a Goth who loves swords.

***Jordan, a well-spoken Goth kid at the Blue Dog.  Artist.  Acquainted with Gavin Russo.  On again off again relationship with Eliza.

***Eliza, his shy companion and sometimes girlfriend.

***three unnamed other companions, at the Blue Dog

***Elias, Mercurian of Creation and Seneschal of the Watts tether.

***The Corps:  Michael’s special task force for cleanup in hostile territories

       *Kyle, Cherub of Stone and the unit’s spokesman.  On first name basis with Corat (though none of them appear to have last names).

       *Ulysses, Seraph of War and commander of this unit.  May know Corat.

       *Lupe, Ofan of the Sword, unit’s tracker/interrogator

       *Atticus “the Judge”, Elohite of Michael and intelligence officer

       *Caleb, Malakite of Gabriel

***the ‘Dark Man’, probably a Loa but possibly an obscure demon or exotic ethereal.  Judging by the late Russo’s altar, it is fond of rum and cigars and was using him to manipulate the Death (and other) demons of Los Angeles to its own ends.  Its agenda is not yet clear.
