Scotts

Knight of Kerry, Sir Waverly Scott (52)
 one of the most prominent figures in Aetherwick. A wealthy aristocrat from an old family, he has a beautiful wife and an even more beautiful daughter. He is possibly a future member of Parliament. He has always been looking down on the less fortunate — those who do not share his blue blood — times might change.

lady Isabela Scott (34)
the wife of a very important man — the Knight of Kerry, Sir Waverly Scott. Everyone envies Sir Scott for having such a wife. Everyone wants her for themselves. She is a lovely person, with a smile for everyone in her class, and sometimes even for those beneath her. Yet, there is something cold and distant within her, and her eyes seem so… empty.

lady Victoria Scott (16)
the daughter of a very important man, the Knight of Kerry, Sir Waverly Scott. She is even more beautiful than her mother. Raised with the discipline of noble upbringing, she is expected to follow all the rules of her class—yet there is a fire within her: passion, intelligence, and resistance.

Clubbs

lady Muriel Clubb (34)
Femme Fatalle of Aetherwick (34), always with her husband by her side, they are the must-be of every party, with a scent of forbidden emanating all around them. There are men who would kill or die for only one night to spend with her… and some already did.

sir Early Clubb (33)
the most handsome man in Aetherwick: elegant, slick, perhaps a bit flamboyant, always seen alongside his beautiful wife. Women go weak in the knees the moment they lay eyes on him. But there is also a hunger in his eyes—and that hunger is a bit frightening.

Bradley Harrington (42)
built a shoe factory and made a fortune. Now, he has found a way to replace workers with robotics. In just a few more days, many people will be out of work. He is known as a ruthless businessman, proud of his fortune.  

Arthur Dart (30)
inherited a family business and become probably the richest man in the city. A golden child whose life is one big party. Reckless, spoiled, a primal source of all embarrassing stories in the Aetherwick.

Hughie McMillan (55)
is a true self-made man. Of Scottish origin, he built one of the biggest factories in the city. Toughest son-of-a-bitch in the business, one could say, but employing hundreds of people. But he is old… and possibly dying.

Neil Johnson (45)
has served as Chief of Police in Aetherwick for a long time. A respected man, he does what he can to maintain law and order in the city. Yet many crimes remain unsolved. Children and young people are murdered in the streets, the wealthy die in their beds, their businesses burn… Aetherwick is a city steeped in violence.

Mitchell Donaldson (25)
recently became an inspector. He is young, strong, and determined to make the city a better place. Someone has to protect the sheep from the wolves.

Liam Conolly (30)
an experienced inspector. Years on the force have changed him. He has become grumpy and ruthless. But he knows how to play the game. He understands that good and evil don’t really exist — and yet, he still tries to be of some use.

Silas David (25)
came to Aetherwick from the Vatican to spread the word of God and cleanse this unholy city of all its sin. His voice is strong, his aura irresistible, and his passion fearsome. His mere presence strikes terror into the hearts of sinners.

Bishop Columbus Ede (45)
a bishop of Aetherwick. As the head cleric of the city, he is great orator. He is also jolly, warm, and friendly—but only to those of a certain status. He has no time to waste on the poor.

Merrill Collins (42)
a dangerous name in Aetherwick’s underworld. She controls half of the drug trade and most of the prostitution business in the city. They say that if you’re looking to have a good time, you need Merrill. But be warned—don’t forget your debts or your manners. As a proper ex-whore, she knows exactly how to screw you over… and she’ll do it spectacularly.

Claudia Knight (22)
may be young, but she’s already the second most dangerous woman in Aetherwick—right hand to Merrill Collins, the city’s top crime boss. If you cross Merrill, there’s a good chance Claudia will be the last thing you ever see. And if you’re lucky, she’ll strip you naked before she snuffs you out.

Logan Ahern (42)
He has style. He has resources. And soon, he’ll have you too. Lose once in his establishment, and you’re doomed to lose everything. Or maybe it’s worse when you win—because that’s when you get hooked. And once you’re hooked, loss is inevitable.

Samuel Fidget (22)
the silent type. He doesn’t speak much—but he fidgets. He fidgets with his fingers, and in those fingers is a blade. Blink a bit too slowly, and that blade might end up in your neck. As the right hand of crime lord Logan Ahern, he’s a legendary madman in Aetherwick. So be careful not to make him mad.

Linda Richey (25)
First Investigative Journalist in Aetherwick –  Initially laughed at, now feared—her words have the power to move the masses. Even if many cannot read, once they hear what she has written, an avalanche can be unleashed. The powerful men of the city are beginning to respect her… and some want her dead.

Doctor Ruby Conray
opened her office in the poorest part of the city. It is said she will accept anyone — even criminals. And even though she often doesn’t get paid, she’s staying. Her betters are giving her one month before she loses all her money — and, subsequently, her life. Her reputation? She’s already lost that.

Doctor Bruno Turner
teaches at the university and is considered the leading figure in medical progress in the city. From time to time, he clashes with the clergy, but it seems Bishop Columbus Ede has a soft spot for him. However, he is also known for his arrogance and refuses to treat anyone who can’t pay well.

Maria Addams (30)
Middle class woman, but not an aristocrat, is coming to the Aetherwick with her whole family. Etheric woman shrouded in a veil of mystery, full of promises. What is her business in this corrupted city? Nobody knows, but she is definitely a name to count with.

Glen Addams (40)
Middle class man, is coming to the Aetherwick with his whole family. His strong aura and commanding presence makes him immediately a center of attention. He doesn’t speak much, but when he speaks, everybody listens. Why did he comes, and what does he wants? Nobody knows. There is an air of sadness and depression emanating all around his persona… but also a power to level the cities to ground. As if he would be prophesying a doom of Aetherwick.

Abner Addams (15)
A son from a middle class family, which just came to Aetherwick. What a joker he is, with undeniable charisma, where he walks, you can be sure something will happen. Some say he is bit of a brat, but one you simply must love.

Ned Jemmy (48)
Is a high raking officer in Aetherwick, second after the mayor. Even the chief of police is his subordinate, even though authorities are unclear, and they can easily get into a clash of rights and responsibilities. Formerly known for his silence and meticulousness, he’s since become something of a ghost in the corridors of power—unwelcome, unreadable, and always scribbling something into a book that shouldn’t exist. His gaze makes even nobles sweat. His breath smells like ink. Some say he sold his soul to balance a national budget. Others think he just never went home.

Arnold Shea (25)
a man everyone knows—at least among the poor. When a knife is drawn in a brawl, he’s the one who steps in and calms the situation before blood is spilled. A good father to his family and a father figure to the community, he’s widely respected. His little daughter is only two years old, and everyone adores him. Despite the hardships of his life, he always carries a smile on his face.

Grace Shea (20)
hasn’t had an easy life, but she has always strived to be a good, kind, and loving Christian. She got married and has a child, but her family is poor, and Grace struggles to find a job to bring more money to the table.

Arthur Higginbottom (17)
a small and unknown name, yet thanks to his parents, he secured a warm little place as a potboy for Sir Waverly Scott. Many could envy him. He has the romantic eyes of a kicked puppy, but fists always ready for a brawl.
