~Notable NPCs~

There are a few names that, whilst they don't actively have a role in the game, are likely to be referenced by people, or be seen around town. These NPCs are significant in that they are either important, powerful, significant or just plain useful people. Feel free to have them around if needed, but if you need any of them actively played in a scene, please talk to one of the mods!

Ashbelle Harkin
Ashbelle Harkin is a Protector who's charge died many years ago. While she didn't die like a lot of protectors do, she immediately took on a much bigger task--the whole town. She's been working at that for years. She's a judge, has heavy influence in the city council, and generally runs a whole lot of the show behind the scenes. She's become even more a prominent figure since everything went to hell, and a lot of people consider her to be sort of the end decision on things. She's pro-active, an intelligent, no nonsense woman. She loves her son more than anything, and raised him to be an efficient, well prepared Protector. playable by taffy

Doc
Eric Martens, or Doc as he's more commonly known, has been many things in his life. He's been wielding the power of a willworker since he was 16, hunting the supernatural since he was 24, and at the ripe old age of 50? He became the demonic incarnation of War itself. When the barrier that hid the supernatural began to fall, the last of the willworkers were dragged down with it, and Doc only survived because of his demonic status. He's left Marquette in the hopes of curtailing the world's decline in his own way, but still remains bound to his lover, Jocelyn Laurent, and his longtime hunting partner, Kayos. While he's a rare sight in Marquette these days, he knows he hasn't seen the last of it. playable by Dave

Emily Haverstrom
Originally from Lacrosse, Wisconsin, Emily has been a registered nurse for over twenty years now, and is Nic Haverstrom's adopted mother for four years running. Emily has only recently accepted the true depth of the world around her, but she's a stubborn woman who refuses to run. She and Nic live together, and Emily works all sorts of hectic hours as one of the head nurses of Marquette General's E.R.s. While she's not there at all hours of the day, it's close, and Emily only really leaves when she knows she'll have a chance to spend time with her adopted daughter. playable by Dave

Evelyn "Grams" Vincent
Evelyn is from Marquette, having lived there all her life. She's the sole guardian of her grandson, Tad Kennedy, and they live together near the high school in the house she's lived in since she got married. She knows about her daughter and son-in-law's history and about all the scary stuff out there before it went public, although she's kept it from Tad for the past 12 years. She was once a teacher, and then retired to work at a local office as receptionist. Since things went south and most places started shutting down, she's gone back to teaching, and now helps with the first aid curriculum at Marquette General (a skill picked up from patching up her son-in-law and grandson over the years). playable by Katy

Sophie Osbourne
With absolutely no supernatural skills to call her own, Sophie has been involved with the supernatural side of life since she was fifteen. In the past she's tried to avoid it, but now she's accepted it and is currently working as the lead healer for a werewolf pack - she might not be a lycnathrope, but her husband , Oz, is the Alpha there. She also has the official guardianship of her cousin, Dean - however he and his girlfriend have now left the pack home and set out on their own. She checks in on them on a regular basis, but tries to be discrete about it. playable by Sue

Billy Gardiner
Now living with his baby daughter, Molly, and wife, Madigan Dante, in a werewolf commune outside of Marquette, Billy Gardiner is a very experienced dreamwalker. He’s also a handyman with a speciality in building lycanthrope-proof cages in domestic settings (ie, he can put one up in your basement if needed). His business has taken a hitting since the travel issues into and out of Marquette started, but he still provides telephone consultations – or dream consultations for the more personal touch, if the client is known to him and open to that kind of thing! playable by Sue

Madigan Dante
Maddie's history is a convoluted one at best. She died originally sometime in 1930, when she was eighteen. She was a protector with a shitty prophesy over her head, and while she went and fulfilled it, she also became a bound spirit after she died. She was stuck there, and due to odd circumstances, she wound up falling for Billy Gardiner. Sure, their relationship was weird, but he refused to go have a normal life with a normal girl. He re-bound her to Marquette when he wound up there. Due to yet more weird circumstances, she was recently made mortal again--just long enough to have a daughter, Molly, with him. Now she's 'living' at the house with her husband, a host of werewolves, family friends and her baby girl. Maddie's house allows her to be solidly present in darkness/shadows, but in sunlight she's an insubstancial ghost. She ran a white magic shop out of her home and while it isn't properly a shop anymore, she still helps those who need it, specifically a young protector in town named Nic. playable by taffy

Nurse Lisa
Lisa is a nurse who originally had worked in the psych ward at Marquette General. She befriended Caleb and Mathias specifically, Caleb when he stayed there after a suicide attempt. She's got a huge crush on Mathias. Generally, Lisa is a good hearted woman, willing and ready to help people who need it. While a lot of staff at MGH fled after things went awry, she's stayed on and just taken on more duties. Currently, she helps 'run' the psych ward, and does whatever other emergency things she's needed for. She works with Emily Haverstrom, and has actually literally moved into the hospital so she's there on call 24 hours a day. playable by taffy
