Victor Petrescu is dead.
Just a little. He doesn't seem to mind; in fact,
he's found ways around that little setback (Red Cross, anyone?)
He's very old, and how he managed to survive on his own for
the centuries before he met Edwards is anyone's guess. He
isn't stupid, per se, just oblivious and naive. He doesn't
talk about his life before the ninteenth century, so it's difficult to
say why he acts the way he does. For some reason, he has a pet human skull. It's probably best not to ask. |

B.Q.O'F. Edwards has served as Vic's valet for the last century or so. His previous employer was outright insane, which could be part of the reason why he bears with Vic so patiently. Genteel and highly intelligent, one could wonder why he spends his time cleaning and running errands for Vic rather than, say, curing cancer or taking over the world. He may or may not have been a militant Irish Nationalist back in the Victorian era--it doesn't matter much now. | |

Gladys reads more romance novels then can be healthy. As a result, she seems to be attracted to only the most mysterious sort of man. Needless to say, she has a long and cringe-inducing list of exes. She remains stubbornly confident about her future prospects, regarless. Unfortunately for Edwards, she's recently drawn a bead on him. Unfortunately for Vic, she's very territorial. | |

Opal is Gladys' older sister. After her children moved out on their own, she sold the old family home and moved in with Gladys. She teaches at the local middle school, cooks, gardens, and is generally content with her golden years. The calmer of the two sisters, she puts a much-needed curb on Gladys' constant state of obsessive worship/obsessive hatred. | |

Takoda LaFoyette, a member of the Neighborhood Watch (a secret society pledged to protect the midwest from all manner of supernatural nasties) has never successfully slain a vampire. That doesn't stop him from trying at every opportunity to slay Vic. Luckily, Takky's own gross incompetence usually wins out over his enthusiasm. | |

Alex's family are fairly new arrivals to the neighborhood. Their unique style of child-rearing has left Alex able to start conversations with complete strangers without the slightest awkwardness or unease. S/he has taken a liking to Vic, much to Vic's dismay. Alex is androgenous, and between the baggy clothes, croaky voice, and the fact that s/he's only about fourteen, no one can tell just what she...he...it is. |
