Who's Who In Topeka
So when I say everyone EVER is in the Twister City 'verse doing something, I... kinda mean it. This post gives you a who's who run down with vague backgrounds and such. Now with funny cartoons from the web AND a photomanip by luchia13!
UPDATED JULY 25, 2009:
Law & Order: Doink Doink
Det. Wyatt Cain - Eight months after the murder of his wife, Cain sets out to rebuild his life in the big city. His small-town cop skills seem out of place on the mean streets of Topeka, but he quickly becomes a valuable asset on the force. His son, jaded emo teenager Jeb, seems awash in apathy but really knows more about what's going on than anyone else.
Det. Thomas Tudor - Cain's partner and a veteran of Topeka's homicide squad. Tudor is just trying to get his twenty and his pension, some might say by any means necessary. Rumor has it he's a dirty cop but a good detective, and so long as criminals are being put away the department will turn a blind eye.
Lt. Lionel Rawlins - Cain and Tudor's supervisor. A man of few words, but each and every one carries weight. Rawlins is intelligent and compassionate, and some make the mistake of seeing those qualities as weaknesses.
Elmer Gulch - Patrol officer. Holds department record for writing up speeding violations.
Peter Vue - Receptionist for the department. Forever preoccupied with his iPhone.
Dorothy Gailman, assistant district attorney - One of the youngest ADA's in the city's history at 27. One might say her name is what got her the job, but there's tale she may have used her charm and... other assets to gain her position. Whatever happened, D.G. is one lawyer you don't want to mess with.
Gene Lonnot, defense lawyer - Once a close ally of the Gailman family, Lonnot finally got fed up with the perceived corruption and switched sides. Claims that he is simply embittered due to being passed over as mayoral legal counsel are brushed off.
The Great and Terrible Right Honorable Judge Marvin Wayzard - An eccentric, possibly an alcoholic, his decisions can be somewhat unconventional but usually always fair. Or not.
CSI: Topeka (Their theme song by the Who? "Eminence Front".)
Dr. Ambrose LeFevre, chief of forensics - Genius, and some will say overgrown kid. LeFevre is a born and bred Topekan whose skills qualify him to work in a much larger city, something many colleagues wish he would do. He has an open and optimistic view on life despite his hidden depths of anguish and darkness tragedy and melodrama.
Leona Praedlyn, CSI - Evacuated from Slidell just before Hurricane Katrina struck, Praedlyn moved in with her cousin Ambrose and somehow managed to never go home. The belle of the department, by turns morbid and sassy, she seems to have an answer for everything.
Dr. Igor Raynz, medical examiner - Creepy.
Hank and Emily Droiden, hackers IT - Charming, cheerful, and ever-helpful with all things to do with technology. Hank can be bribed with peanut brittle, Emily (who used to run the CSI lab) prefers Glenfiddich.
The West Wing (of city hall)
Mayor Lavender Gailman-Queenly - Has her eye on the governor's mansion, and hopes neither of her daughters try and kill anyone else in the meantime.
William "Omaha" Queenly - The mayor's husband. He's from Nebraska, no one likes him.
Rick Wayzard - A city councilman and Judge Wayzard's son. Runs on a "family values" platform. A certain CSI might have incriminating evidence that he protests too much.
KAKE in Topeka
Vyktor Sorrel - News anchor. Waiting for a gig on Fox News.
Airianna Aufdae - News anchor. No one can place her accent.
Azkadelia "Katy" Gailman - Weather. Once tried to slice open a certain Washburn lab assistant's head while on a meth bender. Estranged from her mother (you know, the MAYOR) but close with her sister (you know, the ADA).
Redd Hattigan - Sports. Yes, he is a little person. Yes, sometimes he rhymes.
Xora Mobatille - Traffic. There never is any, but she enjoys the helicopter rides.
County Lock-up Break
Everett "Zero" Zevon - Gangland crime boss and cattle rustler. Also the guy that killed Cain's wife.
Antoine DeMilo - Operates a strip club despite community protests. Rumor has it he's also a pimp, but rumor has it he made up that rumor.
All In the Family
Milo Rawlins - Lionel's brother. Left his son Colin to be raised by Lionel. Formerly involved with a woman named Serena who is Colin's mother.
Dr. Grace Tudor - A vetrinarian and Thomas' wife. They have two children, Aimee and Devon and a dog named Baxter.
The Out-Of-Towners
Virginia Bonaventure "Bonnie" LeFevre-Praedlyn - Praedlyn's mother and LeFvere's aunt. Relocated to New Orleans in the 1970s, currently resides in Houston, TX with her husband, Jeremy Praedlyn.
Michael Callo - Praedlyn's ex-husband. Lives in Baton Rouge, LA.
James and Marian Cain - Cain's parents. Reside in Broadview, MT.
Helene Illari - Ex-girlfriend of LeFevre. Lives in Chicago, IL with her daughter Esther.
David and Eva Rawlins - Lionel and Milo's parents. Live on the island of Crete, where David still works part-time for the Navy.
