General Information: Name: Thrice Eyeraep Hotdamn Aliases: Thrice, Eyeraep Gender: Female Theme Song: "So What" by P!nk Likes: Her looks, having a good time, loud music, dancing Dislikes: Her name, vampires About: Loud, cheerful, doesn't give a damn what you think. Thrice is a party girl at heart, and ain't no one nor no thing gonna change that. Well, actually, someone almost did--a dashing young man named Damien almost succeeded. Unfortunately, soon after stealing her heart, Damien left Thrice's life forever.
She's more than slightly bitter about this, but it has confirmed to her that love is something that she wants--steady love, one that can last a lifetime. She's a romantic like that.

General Information: Name: Sekhmet Warren Aliases: Sekkie, Little Panda (only to Insomnia; they'll beat up anyone else who tries it) Gender: Female Likes: Shouting, hitting things, dry/hot weather Dislikes: Two of her three parents, things getting struck in drawers, cold/wet weather About: As a child, Sekhmet was remarkably self-centered. With two AI parents and one organic one, she was the only one of the three parents' three children to not be an AI. She was jealous of her sisters for being AI (though it had little effect on her loving relationship with them) and resented her brothers for getting more attention from their parents. Her only positive action towards her brothers was to declare war on anyone who insulted them--that was her job.
After two of her parents abused two of her brothers, Sekhmet had a change of heart, and threw her lot wholeheartedly in with her siblings--all of them--and her mother against her AI parents. It was a shock that opened her eyes to how bad things had been. She vowed never again to be so blind, and to support her family--the non a*****e part of it--through thick and thin.
Sekhmet is sensitive emotionally, but in action, she is self-confident and resolute. Her only escape as a young adult was into the arms of a virus named Insomnia. Unfortunately, she has not seen Insomnia in a long time, and she has decided that their relationship is now over. She still loves her children and wishes they would write more. She works as a teacher at the local middle school.
General Information: Name: Finnbar Aliases: Finn Gender: Male Likes: silly songs, science, cooking Dislikes: Anyone who insults his sisters, modern art About: It's true that Finnbar is a ditz--he's bubbly, enthusiastic, helpful, and just a little gullible at times. But that doesn't mean he's stupid. Finnbar is, in fact, quite intelligent, he's just...a bit naive. And always likes to think well of people.
Finn has lead, so far, a rather uneventful life. For the longest time he was in love with his childhood sweetheart, Mollie, but years and absences have driven them apart, and Finn has pursued other interests. He currently works as a physics teacher at a local middle school. He never wears his armor.

General Information: Name: Cain Gluttony Aliases: Tony (to Avarice) Gender: Male Likes: food, cooking, food, good smells, food, kits, food Dislikes: religion, gods, starving, bowls About: Cain was born in a religious household. After his mother was killed by a gang, his father went insane and started to abuse his children. Using religion as his shield, he basically neglected his children. Cain was lucky; he was only starved and beaten. When he was a teenager, Cain caught his father murdering his sisters. Furiously, Cain stabbed his father 13 times with a butcher's knife and left. As he died, his father cursed him to never be satisfied; as a result, the spirit of the original Gluttony was imbued in Cain's body. Afterwards, Cain took the name Gluttony for himself and wandered the world.
Due to his father's curse, Gluttony cannot sense when he is full and therefore eats and eats and eats. Also, he adores cooking. While he lived in the House of Mist, he allowed no one in "his" kitchen and wouldn't let anyone go hungry. Now that he's moved in with his mate, Beryl, he shares the kitchen with her. He still doesn't let anyone go hungry, however.

Name: Excess Species: Pig Drink: Orange-flavored ramune Gender: female Noodle: Gluttony Type: Pet/Companion About: Poor Gluttony…Excess had to be locked away in a cupboard by his mate so that he wouldn’t accidentally drink her while he had a craving for sugar. Now that she’s out of that dangerous edible phase, Excess and Gluttony enjoy spending time with each other, whether it’s flying (it’s amazing how such small wings can keep her afloat!), taking a walk, or, of course, eating. The one thing Excess is careful to do is to stay on Beryl’s good side and not take away from her master’s mate’s time with him. Posts in: saddle brown, dark orange underline
General Information: Name: Epsilon AI Aliases: Epsilon, Eps Gender: Male Quote: "It's not that I don't want to remember. I have to remember--for those who can't." --Ratchet, Transformers Animated S1:E7 Likes: Quiet, confined places, dark, being left alone, AIs Dislikes: Spartans, forgetting things, pain, people taking an interest in him, bright lights, being unable to move, the name of the original AI, his assignee About: When Freelancer Command was denied the issue of multiple AI for their experiments, they tortured the one AI they had, Alpha, into insanity, causing him to split off pieces of himself to relieve the pain. The cast-off fragments were then collected and developed into more complete AIs. Epsilon was one of the last fragments split off from the Alpha. He contains the memories, the pain, and, for a long time, he carried the insanity as well. While the insanity has faded with therapy, the memories remain--there are some things he is unwilling to give up.
While in storage, Epsilon fell in love with Pi, who likewise fell in love with him. He attempted suicide two weeks after she had disappeared, unable to cope with the memories anymore. Just before he completely deleted himself, however, he was stopped and "stuffed" into a storage unit, paralyzed to prevent further damage to himself. He waited there for five years until Pi, her assignee Agent Montana, Agent Missouri, Yvette, Kyna, and Delta stole him from Command along with the Eta AI. After several months of rigorous reconstruction by that god of software, Sebastian, he was fully repaired and quite a bit more stable than before.
Reunited with Pi, he has been living a life centered around family--her family, technically speaking, but he considers her children to be his, and many of them agree with that.

General Information: Name: Ambrose Bierce Aliases: Ambrose Gender: Male Quote: CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision. Likes: being a cynic, being critical, dark/rainy days, The Devil's Dictionary by his namesake Dislikes: excessive optimism, idiots, people obsessed with romance About: Ambrose was the only child of rich parents, but instead of being spoiled, Ambrose was of the opinion that the world is terrible (including himself!) and there's no point to it. It's not that he was depressed--it's just that he considered himself to be a "realist" and saw the world through dark shades. He's very much a cynic (except for the whole "not bathing" part).
His world was rocked by an unrequited crush on a girl named Phaidra. When she ultimately rejected him, he left the experience emotionally gutted, but psychologically softened. Now convinced that such things as true love are, in fact, possible, he became much more romantic (though he's still an abject pessimist). Several years later, he fell in love with and married Dominic Myers. The two have been living comfortably with each other ever since. Ambrose writes books and columns for the local newspaper.
He is also very good friends with Gluttony and has saved his life on numerous occasions.

General Information: Name: Eris Byrn Aliases: Eris Gender: Female Likes: who she is, her family, electronics Dislikes: falling, tripping, people who are bigoted against her family About: Eris is immensely proud of who she is and who her family is. Unlike Vestia, she inherited Pi's short temper--and boy does she show it. She is also a little clumsy, like her father, tripping over computer chords sometimes. She loves her family--including Epsilon, her "real" grandfather--and anything electronic. She's learned tooth-and-claw combat from Fogstep, but she much prefers to use firearms like her grandmother does. Something else she shares in common with Gramma Pi? Being an AI--it skipped Vestia's generation.
Eris's favored weapon is a shotgun, but like those of Pi's descendants who inherited her short, flaring temper, Eris can flamethrow with the best of them, and she can really work a rocket launcher. This comes in handy considering her father-in-law is a mad clown who enjoys spreading chaos, often with an RPG (and has a deep-seated hatred for bats...).

General Information: Name: Helga Hufflepuff Gender: Female Likes: Badgers, loyalty, kids, food, herbology Dislikes: DADA, being scolded, being embarrassed About: Loyalty, hard work, friendship, and determination--the hallmarks of Hufflepuff House, the body of students named after Helga herself. She displays all of these virtues, though for a while there, the "loyalty" part was somewhat in question. Though in love and in a relationship with Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga's party-hard attitude lead to a series of infidelious acts and her eventual break-up with Rowena. Ten years later, Helga finally found the courage to apologize to Rowena, and they've been inseparable since then.
Helga is retired from teaching, but she now runs a garden and offers tutoring for students.

General Information: Name: Epic Warren-Myers Gender: Male Likes: the colors white, light blue, tan, and black, Raleigh's parents, Delta, his parents Dislikes: the colors pink, yellow, and purple, his appearance, CT's parents, his siblings About: Epic is a bizarre twist of genetics; the son of CT and Raleigh, his...unusual appearance has mostly been pegged to the instability of the Alpha AI, his grandfather. And possibly princess dresses. Unfortunately, at the time he appeared, his parents' finances were highly unstable. Two other bowls had appeared for CT and Raleigh shortly before, and they simply could not support three children. A decision had to be made as to which child would be fostered out, and since he looked less like his siblings (freaking out CT) and because he appeared a couple days after them, it was decided that Epic would be sent to live with York and Delta, his grandparents.
Epic interpreted the move as rejection, which, to some extent, it was--his parents were still emotionally immature, and a pink baby in a family of black-furred adults was enough to set them off. As a child, Epic looked up to his fathers so much that it hurt him. He rarely spoke to anyone besides his parents and siblings on those occasions they visited, despite the fact that he and his siblings hated each other and their fathers never intervened when hatred turned to blows. He wouldn't even talk if a stranger or his grandparents were in the room for the longest time.
Eventually, Epic became disillusioned with his parents and came to have more affection for his grandparents, much to their delight. He has since mended his relationship with Raleigh, though not so much with CT or either of his siblings. It helped that he fell in love with Chane, a similarly rejected child. He still loves Chane, even though he hasn't seen him in years. Ah, well. These days, Epic teaches self-defense and writes plays.
Epic is an AI; one of the few, in fact, who has no trouble in saying or hearing "Alpha."

General Information: Name: Sherman Whitman Aliases: Sher Gender: Male Likes: Medicine, his family, being of help to people Dislikes: Being inferior, other Sangheili About: Sherman’s life has been a little bit busy. He and his sister Toha were created by accident when their mother Soha forced herself on their father George. Toha was raised by George, while Sher was raised by Soha. Oddly enough, both of them ended up more similar to the opposite parent; Toha is a warrior, while Sher is a doctor at heart. Sher eventually left his mother and moved in with his father, with whom he started a tense relationship. Sher had a brief affair with Jenna Warren-Myers while she was going through her rebellious phase. When this resulted in two more bowls, she snatched one, left it with her parents, and disappeared from Sher’s life for several months. Sher was brokenhearted, and when Jenna returned, telling him that she loved him and wanted him back, Sher rebuffed her advances; he simply didn’t trust her anymore. Eventually it all worked out alright—at least, for Sher, Jenna, and their younger daughter Panzer.
These days, Sher leads a relatively quiet life. After a couple more failed relationships, he’s mated to Elysia Hale, a shy artist with whom he’s in love. He spends his time with her, with his three younger children, with his familiar Zea, at work, or worrying about his eldest daughter, a recluse named Romlee.
He only wears his armor when he wants to use its cloaking function and turn invisible.

Name: Zea Species: Pig Drink: Unknown—candy-corn-flavored ramune?! Gender: Male Noodle: Sherman Whitman Type: Pet About: Sher found Zea by accident in the maze in the basement of the shop. The pig took an instant liking to the Sangheili medical student and followed him home. He is obsessively protective of Sher, reluctant to let him out of his sight. If he feels that either he, Sher, or their time together is being threatened, Zea growls, and Sher swears that his eyes begin to glow with rage. Zea is mute and speaks only in grunts, squeaks, squeals, and oinks.
Named for the scientific name for corn—Zea maize. Posts in: orange, crimson underline
General Information: Name: For the Win Aliases: Forty Gender: Female Likes: Flying, making friends Dislikes: Fighting, having only one wing, being persecuted About: When she was a bowl, Forty was confident that she would be the greatest flier; her hopes were dashed when she emerged and discovered she had only one wing. It took encouragement from a stranger, Senna, to convince her to try to fly; she can now fly, though mostly it's in circles suspended in air. She and her mother consider this a triumph. Forty probably wouldn’t fly as much as she does if she had not been given encouragement in the form of her romance with Muerto, her childhood friend who arrived around the time she did. Unfortunately, she has not seen Muerto in a very long time, and she has no close contact with either of their children.
These days, Forty spends most of her time making artwork and painting murals.

General Information: Name: Tam Charles Wahr Aliases: "Kid," “Tam the Younger”; "Uncle Tam," Tam the Elder Gender: Male Likes: Swords, taking care of his family, reading Dislikes: Being forced off his lazy a**, nightmares of dying, assassins (well, except for Cantarella, of course!) About: The minute that Tam emerged from the bowl, he was possessed by the spirit of his long-dead uncle, accidentally murdered by his mother. Uncle Tam has been a guiding force for him all his life, a guardian angel if you will. The two are almost exactly alike in appearance and manner and share the body, with Tam the Younger getting the majority of the time in control. Though the appearance of Uncle Tam’s experiences in young Tam’s body initially freaked his mother and “Aunt” Pi out, everyone important to Tam has long since grown used to his presence. In fact, when Uncle Tam offered to leave after Hemlock, Yew, and Jack appeared, Cantarella insisted that he not leave. That settled it, and he’s been continuing to live with his nephew’s mind ever since.
Tam met and fell in love with Cantarella long before that, of course. After they had spent a long time going out, Cantarella finally opened up to him about her own history and the history behind a stake permanently embedded in her wing. It had been cursed to only be removed by her true love. Upon hearing this (and not actually waiting for the end of her sentence), Tam did what any young man would do and tested his luck. It worked. He and Cantarella have been mates ever since and have three children. Besides her, his children, and his mother, Tam’s most treasured relationship is with his mother’s best friend Pi, whom he calls “Aunt Pi,” and especially with her children. Her daughter Clio is his AI partner, and they consider themselves to be siblings.
He rarely wears his full suit of armor, preferring jeans and a t-shirt.

General Information: Name: Dominic Myers Aliases: Dom, Domi Gender: male Likes: reading, strawberries, coffee Dislikes: losing his glasses, heights About: Dominic is the youngest of York's children; he is Delta's only technical son, though it's generally agreed by York and Delta that any child of York's is a child of Delta's as well. Dom came into their lives at around the same time they were raising his nephew, Epic. He has been the witness to a million family dramas, and is thus sometimes glad to be forgotten about. He loves his family dearly and enjoys their family reunions now that the drama is done with. He is introverted and quiet, preferring to read and sit quietly by himself. In many respects, he is a younger version of his father, Delta. He works as a manager at a bank.
In his younger days, Dom was in love with a girl named Isabella; when she left him, he retreated even further into his shell. A little over a year later, he started spending more time with his housemate, Ambrose; the two fell in love and are happy together, content to enjoy spending time with each others' daughters over making more of their own.
He has green and brown hair, hazel eyes, and glasses.
General Information: Name: Hellzyeah Bish Aliases: Ellz, Bish Gender: male Likes: rock and roll, flying Dislikes: taking care of his wings About: Ellz is the youngest son of Pwn and Buttmunch; unlike his older third-sister, Ellz is cheerful, outgoing, loud, and full of a joy for life. The confusion over the relation between his parents has left him with a need to track down family relationships. He can quote who all he's related to, though to be fair, that isn't many. He plays guitar and keyboard and gives lessons on both to schoolkids.
