Supporting Cast - Debuted In Chapter 1

Abigail Masterman

Official Biography: Abigail is Nicole’s younger sister and the youngest of the Masterman children. Unlike Nicole, Abigail is not very interested in magic or science and is really only going to school to meet boys and because her parents want her to. Her primary interests include: going to parties, dating, clothes and make up, and celebrity gossip. After college she intends to “marry a rich doctor or something”.

As a general rule, Abigail and Nicole get along pretty well, despite the fact that they don’t understand each other.

• The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Averted. Most of the time. ^{[dead link]}

Sergio Quezada

Official Biography: Nicole met Sergio several years ago through a blind date set up by Abigail and her then-boyfriend Greg. She found him very charming and mysterious, the sort of guy she might be interested in if she were to be interested in anyone. After going on a few dates he disappeared, only to reappear again recently. Nicole still finds him charming and mysterious; Ian thinks he’s a creeper.

At first glance Sergio appears to be a chivalrous, nice sort of guy, but he tends to view women as property and when angered, he can be very dangerous.

• Ridiculously Cute Critter

Dawn LeFleur

Official Biography: Dawn was the girl Sergio was interested in before Nicole caught his eye. Prior to becoming a vampire, she’d been the frontwoman of an almost successful punk rock band but had to give it up when she “died”. She can be somewhat unstable, and, like Sergio, is somewhat prone to violent outbursts.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Ambiguously Brown
• Neck Snap: From Sergio.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted, then double subverted after Sergio breaks her neck.

Carmilla

Official Biography: Carmilla is the owner of the private club, Phantasmagoria, located in downtown River’s Crossing. She likes pretty clothes, dance parties, and pretty girls; she dislikes people starting fights in her club.

As the oldest vampire in the city and surrounding area, Carmilla has a certain level of authority over the other vampires living nearby.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Gabriele “Gabry” De Luca

Official Biography: Gabry is the charming and fun loving owner of the only antique book shop in River’s crossing Books & Such, located at 124 Second Street (they also have coffee and scones). He and his partner Liam live in the apartment located above it. He likes to hang out at Carmilla’s club at night, presumably to bother her and make Liam uncomfortable.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Anything That Moves: By Word of God.
• Smoking Is Cool
• Reused Character Design: First appeared in Cuanta Vida as a RED Spy.
• Waistcoat of Style
• Who You Gonna Call?

Liam Williamson

Official Biography: Liam is Gabry’s aforementioned partner (both in crime and the domestic sense). He runs most of the practical end of the business, such as the paperwork and finances, he also makes the scones. Unlike Gabry, Liam is quite stoic and standoffish, preferring to stay at home and read than go out on “adventures”, or at least that’s how he says he feels.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Cool Shades
• Not So Stoic: Is noticeably alarmed when he finds out Sergio bit Nicole.
• Reused Character Design: First appeared in Cuanta Vida as a BLU Sniper.
• The Stoic
• Invisible to Gaydar
• Who You Gonna Call?

Seth Belthis

Official Biography: Seth lives in the plantation house with Sergio and the rest of his entourage. Sergio apparently found him useful for something but he’s mostly just a lazy jerk. He likes to push around mortals and other vampires weaker than him but is a complete wimp around anyone who could pose a real threat.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• The Brute
• Red Eyes, Take Warning
• Satellite Character: For now, possibly.

Lily Renoir

Official Biography: Lily also lives in Sergio’s plantation house and is probably the one who originally acquired it. She’s one of the oldest vampires in River’s Crossing and has something of a superiority complex partially due to it. She gets along well with Sergio mostly because he’s one of the only people she views as an equal. She also has some kind of history with Carmilla, and hates her as a result.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Red Eyes, Take Warning
• Satellite Character: Same as Seth.

Greg

Briefly seen in the prologue, introduced as Abigail’s then-boyfriend. By the time the main story occurs, he’s another vampire who lives with Sergio.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Chekhov's Gunman: Introduced Sergio to Nicole because Sergio “really wanted an elf” and Greg himself wanted to be turned.
• I Just Want to Be Special: Why Greg wanted to be turned. It's not very effective. ^{[dead link]}
• No Last Name Given
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted. He's not exactly intimidating...
• Satellite Character: Deliberate, unlike Seth and Lily. He’s not even tagged on the pages he appears on, and only characters with such tags get blurbs on the official cast page, hence the lack of an official biography.

Doctor Anton Möller

Official Biography: Anton is a talented, if inexperienced doctor at the local hospital. Gabry and Liam seem to have roped him into treating any injuries sustained in their unusual line of work. As such he’s pretty well versed in illnesses and injuries that may be magical in nature or monstrous in origin. He wishes he was a pediatrician instead.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• The Medic
• Reused Character Design: Originally appeared in Cuanta Vida as a RED Medic.

Supporting Cast – Debuted in Chapter 2

Bunnie Gibson

Official Biography: Bunnie is the owner of the appropriately named Bunnie’s Bar and Grill where Cynthia and Jeremy work. She decided to open it after her daughter Kimmie was born with features resembling that of a field mouse. There are few job opportunities for Beastmen, even in a city where they are relatively common, so Bunnie wanted to help in whatever small way she could. She is also somewhat of an activist for equal rights for beastmen. She views her employees as surrogate children of sorts.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Benevolent Boss: She’s concerned about Cynthia walking home alone at night, and tries to call Nicole to take her home.
• Shipper on Deck

Jeremy (to Cynthia): She keeps telling me to marry you.

Kimmie Gibson

Official Biography (originally attached to Bunnie's): Kimmie attends a local private school. She is very shy and wants to be a dancer when she grows up.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Satellite Character: Only for now, having only appeared on a couple pages without dialogue.

Jeremy Lawson

Official Biography: Jeremy is originally from somewhere in New England and is the son of a fairly prominent surgeon. He’s somewhat disappointed his parents by not wanting to be a doctor of some type as well. Like Cynthia, he wants to be a writer and they sometimes critique each other’s work.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Adaptation Dye Job: His hair is blond in Cuanta Vida. It's bleach here.
  • Heroic Albino: Due to being a rabbit beastman, he also has pink eyes, although he hides this with blue contacts. Seems to have a few self-esteem issues about it.
• Bi the Way: "Hey! For all [Bunnie] knows, I might want to marry a girl."
• Most Writers Are Writers
• Reused Character Design: First appeared in Cuanta Vida as a BLU Scout.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: With Jordi.

Cynthia: You just need to tell him about your little crush.

• • Blatantly stated in chapter two:

Jeremy: I'm gonna call Jordi and add sexual frustration to this already terrible night.

Jordi Bertrand

Official Biography: Jordi works at the same ABC store as Nicole and is frequently terrorized by her pyromancy. He sometimes hangs out with her and the rest of her friends outside of work, and doesn’t seem to have many friends of his own. In his spare time he’s a reasonably good photographer and also plays guitar a little bit so long as no one is listening.

Oh, and he drives a motorcycle. Jeremy thinks it it totally badass; Nicole thinks it is too badass for a guy like Jordi.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Blue Eyes
• Cool Bike
• Reused Character Design: First appeared as the protagonist of Cuanta Vida – the BLU Spy.
• Why Did It Have To Be Fire

Rika

• Only One Name
• Red Eyes, Take Warning
