a little disdainful and exempt from the average human way of life, Poltergeist - or Jamie as his friends and family know him - is a little melancholic and self-pitying at times. An honest, self-aware and creative man, Poltergeist knows there is a lot that separates him from both fellow humans and mutants alike. But despite being an outsider and insistent individualist, Poltergeist finds himself drawn to outgoing and charismatic people that he can look up to and then spend his days feeling miserable that he isn't just like them. In happier times he's a loyal and trustworthy friend, fond of reading and all sorts of boring boardgames.

In this day and age healers have become like gold-dust: their saintly powers to bring back even the most catastrophically wounded from the brink of death is a godly power indeed. Healers are a valuable commodity, so Tobias reasons, and he sells his services at a extortionately high price. He's not above a contract either: many a time he has sold exclusive healing rights to the highest bidder - or whoever could offer him the best protection. Calculating and dispassionate, Tobias won't help you unless he can get a damn good repayment. and he has good reason. Tobias doesn't just heal the wounded - he takes their injuries into himself and each use of his power leaves him with a permanent mark unique to the occasion. However, sly and mercurial, Tobias was never one for being honest about his powers: he also has the ability to t r a n s f e r injuries from one person to another whilst completely bypassing himself.

Alicia Crawford was never one for being squeamish at the sight of blood until one day she literally saw r e d. The sight of her own blood instinctively triggers a mutated self-defence mechanism that gives her extraordinary powers at the expense of her self-awareness. Her body goes in to 'panic' mode and superpowered fight/flight instincts take over, giving her incredible super-strength and -reflexes. The blood itself is oily, black, oddly highly flammable and capable of burning and eating its way through anything it comes in to contact with: except for Lisha, of course.
cursed or blessed? these select few have been dealt a vast array of powers ever since the Violent Unexplained Event [VUE] hit earth on january 25th only four years ago. mass amnesia spread around the world leaving barely three hundred with any recollection of what happened: these 'chosen few' gained extraordinary powers along with terrifying nightmares of black clouds and towering infernos... w.i.p.

Letitia Jones fell foul of a minor demi-god somewhere in the middle of the 1940s, but thanks to the silver-tongued talents of her older sister Tertia the pair managed to escape an eternity in hell in favour of serving the demigod as his personal agents. Now indebted to collect ten-thousand souls before they can be released, the sisters are held in ageless limbo all the better to trick and deceive mortals in to sinning so they can work their way closer to freedom.

"Cambridge isn't a bad person, but sometimes he has trouble being nice. Compliments don't come easily to him - he's too judgemental, too scientific, to hand out empty praises. A compliment from Cambridge is rare, if only because he sees so few people deserving of them."

A paranormal archaeologist specialising in crypto-zoology. Callum is basically the guy you call when you think you've found a unicorn skeleton in your back garden.
Is considered a bit of a joke by the international scientific community but he is completely fine with that. He wrote his doctorate thesis about a mass burial site of a Neolothic werewolf pack int he Brecon Beacons but nobody ever read it because he wrote it in Welsh.
Runs a small company (so small it's just him, his young colleague Fergus/Tom Jones and Cat the cat)) that investigates crypto-zoological findings.

Gideon always had been a man of faith. Before the darkness and fell and the world turned to shit he had dreamed of becoming a priest... but then all hell broke loose and religion as we know it ceased to be. Who cared for religion when it was painfully clear that God had forsaken mankind and left it to tear itself to pieces?
But Gideon never stopped believing. Alright, so the deity he prayed to might be nameless and unknown, but he still hoped. He hoped that there was something greater out there, something that would make all this pain and suffering justifiable, somewhere for their torn and tattered souls to rest when the horror finally consumed them.
