Cast

Character	Description	Appears in...
Jasmine Tashae AKA Jaz or The Lady of Blades Immortal Mage	Jaz is hardcore. Mystic warrior, protector of innocents. She does what she thinks is necessary to defend those she sees as deserving. She can appear callous but never forgets a debt. Or a slight. The Dimension of Mirrors is her place and, through it, she can reach any place in the known multiverse. Her weapons are 5 animated high crystal swords and her twin katanas Passion and Storm. Modern Egyptian--w/black hair and dark eyes. Athletic without being muscle-bound.	Freak City Lady of Blades Tales from the Magitech Lounge Death of Heroes
Raven AKA Cory Flynn Vampire Mage	The 4th vampire ever made, Raven is an undead mage who's both made and killed more vampires than any other of his kind. He made it his early task to hunt down every rogue that crossed his path and it was probably primarily through his efforts that no war between humans, immortals, and vampires ever materialized before the LEOPARDS came to be. Raven regrets much of what he's done and now follows no law but his own. His power is one of obscurity. He cannot be sensed by any means if he wills otherwise. Raven carries 2 chrome-plated .40 caliber Glocks with 18 round extended clips. Raven has black hair and blue eyes.	Of Man and Monster Freak City Sword and Shadow
Nyx Deathweb AKA Nichole (Nikki) Sanchez Parahuman Mage	Jaz's partner, and quite as ruthless as she is. Her agenda is slightly different, though related. Nyx despises abuse of power in any of its forms. No bully with a badge or government official is safe from her methods of retribution. Nyx carries a shock wand, a .Sig Sauer 380 and a Glock 9mm, as well as a long, curved magewood knife. Her sym allows her to craft webs of force and a spider's ability to climb vertical surfaces. Nyx is of Latin descent, with dark eyes and black hair.	Tales from the Magitech Lounge Death of Heroes
Artificer Parahuman Mage	The master mage-engineer, Artificer is responsible for nearly every single device used by the Paranormal Affairs Commission and the interworld agencies. If he didn't invent it, he most likely provided the original theory used to construct it. Artificer isn't a warrior, but who knows what he carries in his many pockets? Artificer is a balding, non-descript man of average height.	Freak City Lady of Blades Sword and Shadow
Deryk Shea Immortal	Powerful beyond measure, one of the wealthiest men on Earth, Deryk Shea is an enigma, even among his eclectic kind. He may be one of the only immortals who's truly indestructible. He's a natural leader, but the last thing he wants to do is lead. He's also the deadliest hand-to-hand fighter who ever lived, a man who can turn nearly anything into a weapon. Shea is squat, powerfully built, and usually appears to be a dark haired man with gray eyes.	Loki's Sin Freak City Lady of Blades Tales from the Magitech Lounge
Loki Immortal	Mysterious master of biotech, originator of the nanoviruses that altered the human race. Sharp, cunning, and absolutely unpredictable. Generally a pacifist, though it's not wise to anger him too much. He is, after all, unpredictable and impetuous. Loki is a tall, thin man with red hair and bright green eyes.	Loki's Sin Freak City Lady of Blades
Renee Fontaine Vampire	Loki's love. The first vampire. One of the most powerful psis ever, particularly since she is susained solely on the blood of an immortal, Loki. Renee is very slim with long brown hair with auburn highlights and gray eyes.	Loki's Sin Freak City Sword and Shadow
Hades Dark Immortal Mage	A ancient rival of Loki's, Hades is no friend to Deryk Shea or the other immortals. He has his own agenda, and a willingness to do the most appalling things to see it through. Hades has coal black skin and often appears with a shock of white hair. His body is covered with mana-tattoos, granting him access to powers beyond most other mages.	Loki's Sin Freak City Tales from the Magitech Lounge
Rio Vampire Psi and Wizard	Originally a biochemist, she was infected with the nosferatu virus by Quickfingers as a means to an end. She has collected genetic samples and blood from as many immortals as she could reach, and learned the art of TK swordsmanship from none other then the legendary psi-master Edward Bladesworth. Rio is a native of Brazil, with Cafe-a-late skin and curly black hair.	Freak City Tales from the Magitech Lounge
Ben Dalmas Werewolf	The first of his kind, Ben has dedicated himself to the pursuit of justice. Head of Leopard after Raven, he's a man who likes to know where he stands. Guts, grins, and glory is Ben Dalmas. Ben's a well-built farmboy with blond hair and blue eyes.	Of Man and Monster Freak City
Amanda Keening AKA Amanda Keening-Grey Parahuman Mage	Agent of the Paranormal Affairs Commission's Magical Activities Division and Ben Dalmas's wife. A talented mage, Amanda is a dedicated federal agent and the potential heir to a vast fortune controlled by her grandfather, the insidious Thomas Grey. Amanda is a tiny thing, regularly mistaken for a young teenager even as an adult.	Of Man and Monster Freak City
ArchAngel AKA Justice Breed	The son of Deryk Shea and Nemesis Breed, ArchAngel is a hero of the Cen War, having sacrificed himself to destroy one of the creche worlds and losing himself in the process. But his awesome powers allowed him to transform himself into a being of pure energy and, after a search of nearly two centuries, he returns in the body of a sophisticated android and becomes the ultimate leader of the immortals who run the interworld agencies.	Sword and Shadow Tales from the Magitech Lounge Death of Heroes
Nemesis Breed Parahuman	Initially a Pierce County Sheriff's Deputy, Nemesis Breed is thrown into a world beyond her imagination when she is drawn into the world of immortals and discovers the threat looming over all of mankind. Tall and handsome rather than beautiful, Nemesis cuts a striking figure, especially when standing side by side with her future husband Deryk Shea.	Loki's Sin Lady of Blades
Rachel Flynn Parahuman	One of the few detectives on the Redburn Police Department, Rachel stumbles upon evidence that vampires do exist and are murdering citizens of her town. Together with her teenage son, a federal agent, a squad of marines, a reluctant werewolf, and her boss, who's far more than he seems, she begins a war with the self-proclaimed Queen of the Night. Rachel Flynn is an athletic woman with sharp features and long copper hair.	Of Man and Monster
Kali AKA The Queen of the Goblins Immortal Mage	Once one of Tacoma's major crime figures, Kali was transformed from man to woman by a mage's curse at the same time a gift from his erstwhile masters went active. The unlikely combination of powers interacting created the being often called the Queen of the Goblins. Touched by the plight of Hades's callously changed and abandoned children, Kali takes up their cause and becomes so much more than she might have been. Kali is over seven feet tall, with the ability to manifest four or six arms at will. She has no hair whatsoever, from eyelashes to pubic hair. Her skin is black as night and eyes shine a golden red.	Loki's Sin Lady of Blades
Sir Edward Bladesworth Immortal Psi	The uncontested master of psionics, Bladesworth is a dapper Black man with a crisp British accent and unflappable calm. No one has ever seen him angry, but it has been suggested that an angry Bladesworth would be as potentially destructive as a tsunami. Bladesworth wields a pair of short psi-swords that he controls telekinetically.	Loki's Sin
Morrigan AKA Morgan Celt Immortal Mage	Morrigan is an assassin, and has been throughout most of her life. On the surface she seems utterly amoral and without a conscience, but she reveals a diferent side herself with Bryon Beard, a vampire created by Raven in Sword and Shadow and hired to fill the place of second in command for Morrigan's agency, the Knights of Anarchy. Morrigan is a master of many weapons.	Sword and Shadow Death of Heroes
Bryon Beard Vampire	The son of a powerful territorial governor on his homeworld, Bryon is drawn into a quest with the vampire Raven and the telekinetic TAU agent Valerie Winn to seek a legendary treasure but finds much more than he bargained for. Bryon is a skilled swordsman and archer, tall, dark, and slimly athletic.	Sword and Shadow Death of Heroes
Athena AKA Athena Cross Immortal	Athena sees herself as possibly the weakest of all the immortals. She has no special powers except healing, and even that isn't particularly strong, and a huge burden of guilt for her inability to save good friends and loved ones from the guillotine during the French Revolution. She'd been Deryk Shea's chosen heir during Infinity: Earth, and moved on to Starhaven to establish the TAU agency after the Cen War. Slightly plump at the beginning of Loki's Sin, Athena's obsession with physical fitness has turned her into a veritable Amazon.	Loki's Sin Freak City Sword and Shadow Death of Heroes
Stormchild AKA Thor Immortal	Once the lead guitarist and vocalist for a band called Thor's Hammer, the arrival of the Cen turned this rock legend into the warrior spirit he'd been in ages past. Once worshipped as the God of Thunder, Stormchild is one immortal worshipped by enough motals that his powers, long dormant, are beginning to rise again. After he hooks up with the bio-chemist Rio, Stormchild's status as an immortal with whom to be reckoned is as secure as ever. Tall and athletic, Stormchild has long blond hair and piercing blue eyes.	Loki's Sin Tales from the Magitech Lounge
Valerie Winn Metahuman Psi	As a newly minted TAU agent, Valerie Winn hardly expected her first solo assignment to involve intractable blood-sucking war heroes, ancient treasures, or a bunch of fiendishly clever weapon smugglers, but Val found herself up to the challenge. Val is a pretty blonde woman, lithe and athletic after years of hand-to-hand and close quarters melee weapon training. She is among the most powerful known telekinetics.	Sword and Shadow Death of Heroes
Bonedance Sentient Spider Mage-Engineer	A shocking sight for any arachnaphobe, Bonedance is a huge, intelligent tarantula standing over 12 feet in height and covering about that much territory in circumference when standing still. Covered with downy golden fur and armed with a set of spears he uses quite effectively in combat, Bonedance is both awe-inspiring and frightful. Artificer's protégé and one of his best friends as well.	Freak City Lady of Blades
Chikitar Procyon Lotar Sapiens Mage-Engineer	The scion of a race of creatures "ascended," as he likes to put it, from creatures very much like our raccoons, Chikitar is an operative of the Knights of Anarchy and a skilled magical troubleshooter with a particularly inventive mind.	Death of Heroes
Hermes Immortal	At one time the primary messenger between the immortals, Hermes vanished and apparently retired from service before the first shot of the Cen War could be fired.	Loki's Sin
Kitsune Human-Fox Hybrid	Kitsune is a human-fox hybrid, the descendent of beings created by the Cen as slaves. Genetically programmed as such, Kitsune is not only a first-rate scrounger, but a very good engineer and technician, though his specialty is mechanic and electronic things with no magic involved.	Death of Heroes
Jack (last name unknown) Human Normal	Jack's a former time-traveler who's come to rest at a small nightclub just off of Haight Street in San Francisco, where assorted odd souls gather on a regular basis to hang out and form lasting friendships with one another.	Tales from the Magitech Lounge
Dylan Djinn	Once an elite mageship pilot, Dylan's ship sacrificed its own existence to save her and, in so doing, turned her into what amounts to a living spell with a truly astounding range of power. Despite this, Dylan is still achingly human, with human fears and concerns.	Tales from the Magitech Lounge
Thoth Immortal Mage	An old friend of Loki's, Thoth was tapped to run Earth's first magic school., the Thorne Academy. As it turned out, Thoth was not quite who everyone thought he was.	Loki's Sin Freak City Lady of Blades
Bast Immortal Mage	While the rest of the immortals were left to believe that magic had left the human race, Bast and her hidden island community retained the talent that no other humans had. When seeking answers to the question of her duty and destiny, Jasmine Tashae found Bast and found many of the answers she sought.	Lady of Blades
Thanatos AKA Avatar Immortal	An immortal bounty hunter with a reputation for success, Thanatos and his partner Ares had a thriving business until Thanatos took the wrong contract and ran afoul of someone far more dangerous than he was.	Lady of Blades
Jack Frost Human Normal/Metahuman	The original Jack Frost, introduced in Loki's Sin, was a cold, hard G-man with very few human qualities who was disciplined severely by Athena when he crossed her. The second Jack Frost, also a federal agent, was a doppelganger found on an Earth Aspect under threat of a destructive war between metahumans and normals and accepted as an ally and friend.	Loki's Sin Death of Heroes
Odin Immortal	An early expatriate from Earth Prime, the immortals' adopted homeworld, Odin discovered a crashed gateship at the North Pole of a backwater Earth and used it to gain power over the mortals of that world, the kind of power he'd had and lost back on Earth Prime. Unfortunately, he ran afoul of the wrong people and all his scheming came to naught.	Sword and Shadow
Dave (no known last name) AKA Everybody's Dead Dave Vampire	When Renee and Loki grabbed him outside Loki's lab, all they'd known was that he was a unrepentant killer and that they wanted to see if she could transmit the nanovirus that had made her into a vampire. The irony of it all was that Dave escaped and used his newfound status as a way to escape his old life and begin anew as a different sort of man.	Of Man and Monster Fear Itself (short story available in the Nov 08 issue of the Samhellion newsletter)
Gabriel AKA Moses, John the Baptist, Jesus, Mohammed Immortal	Gabriel, acting as a new kind of deity, supplanted the belief in the old Gods by manipulating Terrestrial religions to suit his own agenda and leaving his fellow immortals out in the cold. He's loathed by most of the others for his actions, and hated by Loki specifically. Later, he apparently allies himself with a renegade faction of the Cen's Valkyries and attempts to insinuate himself and his allies into Starhaven.	Loki's Sin Death of Heroes Pale Hand of Darkness (forthcoming)
Sif Immortal	One of the original immortals who volunteered to stand with Deryk Shea, Loki, and Athena when it became clear the Cen were moving on Earth Prime, it turned out that her involvement wasn't the best thing possible for the defenders.	Loki's Sin
Fenris Wolf Immortal Mage	The product of one of Loki's early experiments, Fenris is neither truly immortal, nor infected by the lycanthrope virus, but he does, actually, bear many similarities to both. Fenris does not age, regenerate, and can transform into wolf and the intermediate wolfen shape. He has no other immortal powers.	Loki's Sin Sword and Shadow Death of Heroes
Quickfingers Imp Wizard	Quickfingers was created by Jasmine Tashae when she first came into her powers. He's effectively a very complex spell that's gained self awareness and the ability to manifest what seems to be a physical body through the manipulation of the mana threads that make up his core self. He is also the progenitor of a whole race of imps that are currently trapped on the ethereal plane but can be summoned across by any mage skilled enough (and goofy enough) to do so.	Freak City Lady of Blades Tales from the Magitech Lounge Death of Heroes
Odin Immortal	Having long fled Earth Prime, this one-eyed immortal has been pursuing his own agenda for as long as ten thousand years or more. His greatest weakness has always been underestimating his opponents, and this comes into play when he sees a pale, dark haired teenager approaching from across the northern ice. Whoops.	Sword and Shadow
Cernunnos Vampire	The leader of a band of vampire rebels in the Confederation of Human Worlds, Cernunnos is rather like the undead version of Charles Manson. He doesn't kill, but he has plenty of people who are more than willing to do it in his name.	Pale Hand of Darkness (work in progress).
Tyr Immortal	A long-time ally of Odin's, Tyr is expected to serve the One-Eye's agenda when some upstart comes sniffing around Odin's base of operations. Like Odin, he makes the mistake of underestimating someone he shouldn't have.	Sword and Shadow
Cerberus Foo Dog	Saved from a dog fighting ring by Raven, Cerberus is first adopted, then altered, by Loki. Granted human level intelligence, an assortment of magical abilities, and a semblance of human speech, Cerberus becomes a loyal companion of Raven's.	Sword and Shadow
Shadowkin Metahuman	One of the metahuman "superheroes" from the past of an Aspect Earth, Shadowkin becomes a reluctant ally and resource for Morrigan and her team of KOA agents as they attempt to prevent a world-ending war.	Death of Heroes
Destiny Metahuman	One of Shadowkin's superhero friends, a metahuman whose voice is her weapon.	Death of Heroes
Iron Tower Metahuman	A huge African American superhero who becomes a staunch ally of Morrigan and her crowd.	Death of Heroes
Captain Glorious Metahuman	A superhero in a world that no longer really needs them, Captain Glorious is occasionally useful, but rarely seen as much more than a sad joke in the 24th Century city of San Francisco.	Tales from the Magitech Lounge.
Hecate Immortal Mage	Once ruler of a sizeable portion of Starhaven, Hecate's breeding program hit a snag when they kidnapped a likely seeming candidate and discovered they'd actually grabbed a tiger by the tail and paid the price.	Lady of Blades
Ares Immortal	Partner to Thanatos, Ares makes the mistake of allying himself with Hecate and trying to help her deal with the repercussions of her actions. He's going to need all his skill to survive his feud with his chosen enemy.	Lady of Blades
Jinx Imp	Nyx Deathweb's imp and the first of his progeny Quickfingers learns to tolerate.	Death of Heroes
Malice Cen-created Immortal	A twisted, sadistic creature sent as an agent by the Cen who runs afoul of one immortal after another until he finally makes the mistake of throwing down against someone he should have avoided entirely.	Loki's Sin
Spite/Hope Abyssian	The declared "Queen" of the demonic-appearing race created by Loki to thrive in the great underground caverns unknown to those who dwell in the surface world.	Freak City Tales from the Magitech Lounge
Raphael Gonz Vampire	A federal agent assigned to protect the President. He takes his job seriously, but ends up more than a little obsessed when he falls in love with his charge.	The President and the Predator (a currently unpublished short story)
Lynn Mendoza Parahuman	The 45th President of the United States. The first female President, the first Latin President, and the first President to show herself a friend to those who'd fallen victim to Loki's nanoviruses.	The President and the Predator (a currently unpublished short story)
