NPCs
Officer Michael Sommer (He/him) - Police officer, and head of the Myriad Taskforce. Older white man with a shaved head. Not as friendly as some would prefer.
Liz Borger (she/they) - Vampire and member of Carmichael's crew, the Dread Ringers. Frayed, extremely short purple-tipped hair that looks like the end of shitty broom. Pale white skin with piercings all over. Looks stereotypically punk. Dressed in tattered, skin-tight leather pants, and a sleeveless leather vest with just a bralette beneath.
Ace Aruna (they/them) - Vampire. Asian person in their late 20s. Shorter black hair, glasses. Last seen at Jillian Murphy's apartment.
Silvia Rui (she/her) - Member of the Norfork Parent's Assemblage ("The Moms"). White woman with frizzy brown hair, long cardigans, and mom-jeans. Can barely stand Hannah Radek.
Jillian Murphy (she/her) - Norfork City Liaison, and Kelly's hookup. White woman in her early 30s, broader build, kind of tall, red hair that’s just past the shoulder. Sharper facial features.
The Mothman (he/him) - Vigilante. Low-res digital facemask with two large pixelated circles for eyes attached to a black balaclava. Black turtleneck. Underneath, an extremely average looking white man with short blonde hair. Looking for Kelly.
Butch (he/him) - A shadow that offered to help Kelly get out of a sticky situation early in his vigilante career. Eager to help Kelly like you’re eager to keep a fruit tree pruned and safe from deer.

Cold Moon AKA Rosa Kalyani (she/her) - Unofficial leader of the lunar witch coven in which Rabbit was raised. Former astronaut. Imposing Black woman with short spongy black hair, and an athlete’s physique. Often wears an elegant coat, even when it’s hot.

Joanie Colbert (she/her) - Manager of the “Cheapskate” and Kelly’s boss. Aspiring influencer. Member of the Dark Abbey. Black woman.
Glymmer AKA Aina Steen (she/her) - Norfork Fashion influencer, and leader of the Dark Abbey. Mysteriously absent from her own videos - as though camera can't see her.

Art Young (he/him) - Red-headed white man. Who's asking?
