Drake
Full Name: Drake Franklin Chesire
Age: 29
Heritage: Lilin, American
Occupation: Messenger and Portal-Maker for the Tower
Registered Abilities: n/a
Unregistered Abilities: Portals through space and/or dimensions
Drake is the legitimate son of a weakblooded man and his demon wife. His mother, who is a direct daughter of Lilith, resides mostly in Hell, but her vacations to Dis (for family matters) usually are spent glowing with pride over her son.
Being born with functional wings (a rarity for demonkin) has been an omen of good fortune for Drake ever since childhood. He has been popular most of his life, and when he has not been popular, he has at least been in control of others. Now, he's essentially a go-fer, but for very important demons in the Tower. He is the man to know, as he is a respected minion for his employers, and his contacts seem limitless.
At work, he mostly runs errands and represents the Tower in minor events. His ability to make doorways between two distant points (either on earth or hell) makes him an ideal worker when the Tower needs someone, somewhere, fast. Most of his work is done in Dis, although he has made business trips to other nations and hell.
He is mostly demon, and very proud of his infernal heritage. It has brought him his competitive position, close to the demons residing in Dis, which in turn brings him close to demons residing in the true Hell. He is grateful for his genetic luck, since his sister, although popular, has lopsided horns and such a trait would not be welcomed among the pure blooded demons.
The circles he runs with has encouraged a level of racial elitism and prejudice. He frowns the most upon the Nephilim, the race of demons descended from fallen angels. While he is loving and overprotective of his sister, (see Isobel) he dislikes weakblooded demonkin as well.
Arrogant prick would be a great way to describe him, as long as you don't fall for his charms.
Update: 1/10/06- Now dating Luanne.
How the Character Came About Drake came from the story that is basically this story's grandfather. He was an asshole corporate kinda guy. Sleek suits and big money. He wasn't evil, but he was certainly a jerk in his good intentions.
Creator's Nicknames The Asshole. The Jerk.
Full name: Unknown
Prefered Name: Charm
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Leader of the Guardian Angels of Demonkin
Unlike her former peer, Charm is still a divine creature. The most warlike of the three current guardians, she is their leader and last resort problem solver. She has been a guardian for less time than Ink or Rabbit, but neither are/were fit to lead. She blames herself that she was unable to stop Ink's fall from grace. She tries to shelter Rabbit from too much burden, in an effort to protect the senior angel from a similar crisis. The newest addition, Havoc, is often left to his own devices. Since he is relatively inexperienced, she thinks of him as a buffoon.
Like all the guardians, she is exhausted from her duty. The devine guarding the damned is a thankless role, with very little reward or success.
First appeared in the comic as male, but within three pages turned female.
All I'll spoil about Izar is this: she was, as a guardian angel, primarily female, but now changes genders on a whim; she's a fallen angel; she's playful, but can be quite serious; she has a murderous temper, when pushed.
Creator's Nicknames Izzie. Red.
Lillian Otis- Xan's elderly employer. She is very well off, many through her contacts among some of the older and powerful members of Dis. Her garden is a sign of status, but is a personal comfort to her. Lillian has prolonged her life to 174 years, with the help of Xan's healing ability. The healing has only held her mortality at bay through frequent work. She is a family friend to Xan, and was her neighbor when she was growing up. Lillian is the closest Xan has to a grandparent. She is a half-demon, and was one of Izar/Ink's charges when Ink was among the guardian angels of demonkin. When Lillian is introduced, she has already decided that she has led a full life, and that she is willing to move on.
Koid- Lillian's pet imp. Once Lillian passes away, he will be Xan's responsibility. Koid was given to Lillian by her demon relatives. He is smart, crafty, but usually content to sunbathe. Most imps are treated poorly, but Koid has known nothing but pampering since he's been with Lillian, for over a hundred years.
