Kimberly DeAgistino

Archetype: Dwarf City Official

Four foot eight, and rather thin, Kimberly has long blond hair and blue eyes as speaks with a southern accent. She jokes often when mingling with the crowd but is frighteningly serious when it comes down to hard negotiation or debate.

Kimberly was one of the first of her race to gain a seat in the city council and she is determined to keep it, sometimes using brutal means. Also, due to her outspoken nature, she has been the target of many assassination attempts, one of which blew off her right hand. She still continues to mingle among the people despite the ever present danger.

Kenny Comb

Archetype: Human Bodyguard

Pleasant and open except when on duty. He stutters occasionally, however, a condition which increases in severity when he's under stress.

Kenny has been with Kimberly from the beginning and the two of them have been lovers for the last three years. He has taken eight bullets for her in the past and is willing to take eighty more if need be. He is still riddled with guilt from the time he let a bullet take Kimberly's hand. Rumor has it that he also lost someone he was protecting many, many years ago.

Lasner

Archetype: Human Mage

Lasner is an albino and his sensitive skin keeps him in the shadows a majority of the time. He speaks with a soft voice and seems very skittish.

Lasner is, essentially, another bodyguard for Kimberly and provides magical support and astral security when needed. He has, on occasion, been the source of minor embarrassment due to his tendency to anchor spells on Kimberly for defensive purposes, some of which are triggered at inopportune times. There has also been at least three occasions when one of Lasner's spells has saved Kimberly's life.

Umber Davenro

Archetype: Human Rigger

Umber is big fan of music from the 1970s and seems to be trapped in that era as far as clothing goes. He has dark skin and a large "fro" and keeps a pet rock on the dash board.

Kimberly often times uses Umber as a symbol for her liberal and free thinking policies. Many say that if he ran for a council seat against Kimberly, he'd beat her hands down. In general he's a harmless wacko.
