Player Characters
If we don't specify in which district a player character lives, please assume they live in the district controlled by their mob. (The Cartel's territory is the trade district, the Three Families' is the Slums, the Dockyard Rats control, obviously the Docks, Inmack's Boys operate out of the Craftsman's District, and the Watchdogs have their HQ in the Ruins.)The Beggars

Dotty (Joe Williams, joseph dot williams at gmail dot com)
An eccentric old lady of the streets.

James Ridgeway (Joe Crawford, heraclitus at hotmail dot com)
Idealistic journalist who might be seen doing a bit of dealing on the side from time to time (the demands the world makes on the idealist being as they are).

Three Families
Count Alric Columna (Rich Griffin, richardgriffin at tiscali dot co dot uk)Head of the Columna family. Lives in the family estate in the Noble district. Would be considered handsome, were it not for the Columna Look, which is especially strong in him - he is often depicted in newspaper cartoons as a grotesque troll. (Has both Beautiful and Fairy Look.)
Moebius Columna (Ivan Rodriguez, ialaiz at webware dot es)
Columna middle sibling, proprietor of an exclusive auction house - a floating auction house, moored in the Docks, which he maintains his luxury apartments upon. Mercifully, he has been spared the Columna Look.
Crace Columna (Jen Spencer, student_resident at hotmail dot com)

Maintains a small vulgar alchemist's shop in the trade district. People used to spend longer "browsing" in the shop than they otherwise would, but don't any more (had Fae Allure, now habitually covers her face for some reason).
Mia Delan (Lucie Foulston, lucie dot foulston at balliol dot ox dot ac dot uk)
Hawk-toting physician of an esoteric bent, lives in the Ruins. Allegedly the most beautiful woman in the city, although some prefer Alberta Blake (has both Beautiful and Fae Allure).
Frost (Chris Venus, frost at planetvenus dot org dot uk)
Bold adventurer (who clearly wants the next pub down the road with all the mysterious strangers in dark corners seeking people to go on epic quests to save the kingdom). Lives in the Ruins, would be handsome were it not for those disturbing purple eyes of his (has Fairy Look).
