-A 25-year-old police officer whose life changes when a date [[At the Opera Tonight]] (Tonight being Christmas Eve 1997) goes horribly wrong.

More on that further down}}.

-A mysterious, ancient evil that takes over the body of opera singer Melissa Pearce and sets about her master plan to reverse humanity's symbiotic relationship between the nucleus (banks of genetic information that dictate what cells grow where and when) and the mitochondria (organic powerplants that fuel cellular activity). To this end, she dissolves a solo performance crowd at Central Park into raw genetic material and allies with {{spoiler|Melissa's former doctor, Hans Klamp}}, to procure sperm for her [[Enfant Terrible]], the Ultimate Being. {{spoiler|Was carried by mitochondria in donor organs from Maya Brea that Melissa received, and allowed to awaken after Melissa pushed her body to its absolute limit via excessive doses of transplant-preserving immunosuppressants}}.

 Caretakers of the 17th's weapons storage area. Torres is hell-bent on making sure guns are used responsibly, having sworn off using them since his daughter died in a mishap with a loaded one. This tends to make him clash loudly with apprentice Wayne, an adherent to the [[More Dakka]] school of gun control. Both provide Aya with the facilities to modify weapons and armor to increase their bonus slots, and space to store unneeded items.
