 About: Alex Alderman is a real estate tycoon in their early 40s and the founder and CEO of Alderman Residential. One of the richest people in NNYC, Alex lives in the Alderman Arrow - a skyscraper in the heart of the financial district. Alex wears a tailored business suit and an arrogant expression, as he looks at you with disdain.
+====== Billy Clarke ======
+<fs large>he/him</fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Harry S. (he/him) \\
+About: A quiet transfer, who keeps himself to himself, until you get to know him. Billy is outwardly a private individual, listening to showtunes on his headphones while drumming out the beat on the nearest railing, but give him a chance, and he'll talk your ear off. Hope you like listening about amateur radios!

+Player: Gareth M. (he/her) \\
 About: Florian, or Flo to her friends (which includes basically everyone), is a strong, middle-aged local who supplies Anchor Rock with any firewood or wooden craft furniture they might need. He also does his own woodcarving and woodturning, and he's quite handy at it. She's pretty easy to recognise around town with her curly brown hair and assorted flannel shirts. His cabin on the outskirts of town by the forest is easy enough to find if you follow the sounds of her axe or woodworking machines.
 The locals of Anchor Rock know Flo's door is always open if you need a shoulder to lean on and a cup of something warm.

-Job: he does... something... part-time. It's not entirely clear what that something is and the more you talk to him, the more confusing it is
+Job: he does... something... part-time. It's not entirely clear what that something is and the more you talk to him, the more confusing it is.
+====== Hal Wynder ======
+<fs large> he/it </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Sasha W. (they/it) \\
+About: Hal is your typical unemployed nineteen year old. Never quite grew out of his teenage angst, he's simply a short, mulleted, baggy-shirted, anarchist ball of sunshine. He might be a bit of a genius, but who can be sure when he spends all his time shut indoors, building robots. For what cause? Who knows! He seems nice, anyway. A bit strange and suspicious of his surroundings, but who wouldn't be, when you've been randomly teleported to the other side of the country. Just don't set him off about anything he's interested in, or you might get an hour long lecture about AI, weird electronic music and some underground horror movies, you've probably never heard of them. He's just so cool and unique like that.
+====== Holly Margaret ======
+<fs large> she/her </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Vincent C. (he/him) \\
+About: Even the residents of remote Anchor Rock would have heard of Industry Corp and its founder Harold. They would have also heard of Holly Margaret, Harold's wife and business partner. Despite critiques by the media of Industry Corp's business practices for being unethical, it's undeniable that the two of them turned their business into a global success, becoming quite wealthy in the process.\\
+After her husband died, Holly inherited the company and sold most of her controlling share. Now deep into her 60s, Holly has since mostly retired, retreating to her mansion she used to share with Harold.\\
+There have been rumors, though, that Harold's death seemed awfully suspicious...
+====== Irwin Garden ======
+<fs large> he/him </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Ralph W. (they/them) \\
+[CN: drug use]
+About: Irwin Garden is an 'experimental poet' from the Big City. Two months ago, he and his boyfriend Simon Darlovsky (recently transferred) moved up into an abandoned ranch outside of town in search of poetic inspiration. Simon and Irwin didn't make much of an attempt to integrate with the community, and the constant sounds of loud jazz music and stench of weed from up on the ranch haven't impressed many locals. As far as is known, Irwin hasn't done a day's work since he got here - how he makes a living is anyone's guess (it surely can't be the poems). Every now and then, Irwin will come down to town for an impromptu poetry reading in the town square, library or cafe. His stuff is, well... hard to like. If he's in a particularly good mood, he might corner you for a long conversation about some obscure philosophical or religious idea and say how much he 'digs your vibe'. If you're really lucky (or unlucky), he might even write a poem about you!
+====== Jason Osman ======
+<fs large> he/him </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Ben O-R. (he/him) \\
+About: Jason is around 6'3" and lean. He arrives from the Transference dressed in a smart fitted suit, with heavy bags under his eyes from working late. He can seem imposing at times, but also shy and withdrawn.
+====== Jennifer Canbury-Lloyd ======
+<fs large> she/her </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Rose G. (she/her) \\
+About: Jennifer is a millionaire’s trophy wife turned yoga-loving yummy mummy. She lives a life of crystals and health smoothies, driving around NNYC in her Range Rover with a trio of perfect children. Yet, between her helicopter parenting and bratty, even hostile, attitude, there’s something… off about Jennifer. Is there more to this blonde-highlighted stereotype than meets the eye?
+====== Mitchell 'Mitch' MacIntyre ======
+<fs large> he/they </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: George S. (he/him) \\
+About: If you’ve spent any time in Anchor Rock at all, you’ll know the MacIntyres, the local boys that have turned law enforcement into a family business - not that Anchor Rock has ever been much in need of their services. Old Cobb MacIntyre is the Chief of Police, and for a time it seemed like he would be retiring and leaving the role to his eldest son, Luke MacIntyre. That all changed after the car crash, of course, which you’d do well not to bring up except in hushed tones. \\
+Now Mitch, Cobb’s youngest, is his father’s deputy. They're in their early 20s now, but that hasn’t stopped their hairline from receding, and judging by the permanent marker on their face, they still can’t grow a moustache. He spends his days carrying groceries for the elderly, building fences, and helping ducks cross the road. Mitch has become quite the fixture of the community these past few years - even if it’s not entirely clear what policing they actually do.
+====== Nella Tsai ======
+<fs large> she/they </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Kaiya C. (she/her) \\
+About: Nella Tsai, 23, has always lived in Anchor Rock.  As a kid, they were a bit of a social outcast and a little weird.  They have been running the Tsai family farm and watching their a-gong (grandpa) ever since her dad got sick and her dad and mom moved to the city so he can receive treatment.  She has a big sister who lives in the city working a mundane office job.   She has blue hair as well as freckles and a tan from working in the sun.  She looks friendly, if a little nervous at times.  Its not uncommon to see them talking to a little blue bird on their shoulder.
+====== Nora Teredo ======
+<fs large> she/they </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Dakota H. (he/him) \\
+About: Some of you may find that Nora Teredo tends to keep to herself much of the time, often wandering into the outskirts of Anchor Rock with nothing but a wedge of cornbread and the dark cashmere hoodie on her back. Evidently, the Transference has gotten to her in some capacity, and the locals certainly wouldn’t recognize her. Along with café and library visits, you’ll also see her attempting to inexpertly stargaze at Anchor Rock itself, usually towards the north.
+====== Odette Barker ======
+<fs large> she/her </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Konstantine B-S. (he/her) \\
+[CN: domestic and emotional abuse] About: Odette Barker is a 25-year-old resident of Anchor Rock. She was a socialite in her youth, hanging with a popular crowd who were not always kind to those on the outskirts, but she was generally well-liked and high-achieving. She hasn’t been seen around town much in recent years, having become a bit of a recluse. \\
+Her husband, Romilly Barker, is one of the locals to have transferred.
+====== Oleman Young ======
+<fs large> he/him </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: William B. (he/him) \\
+About: Oleman Young is an amicable retiree living in the side streets. A friendly face regularly seen around town (often in places you really wouldn’t expect), always with a smile and an offer of assistance for anything you need, anything at all. Never mind that said offer of assistance from a 70-something-year-old more often than not leads to the situation worsening. But that hasn’t deterred the old man! More recently his nephew has been keeping an eye on him, but given he’s been transferred away, Oleman is looking forward to some free time once more. You in?
+====== Ovintin "OJ" J. Anthony ======
+<fs large> he/him </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Elijah S. (he/him) \\
+About: O.J. moved to Anchor Rock a couple years ago, but is still finding his place. He's a 38 year old 6'7 hulk, friendly enough, but only engages in small talk. He looks kind of familiar. Someone who's older and more sports inclined might remember his name from newspapers as a hot young basketball talent who never panned out, maybe something about a big break up. He's got a daughter, Jameela, who's about 9 years old, who he lives for. They're always training together, he says he's going to make her the best player the world's ever seen. When she's at school, O.J. helps as an amateur mechanic or sometimes a volunteer coach for the youth of Anchor Rock.
+====== Pepper Partridge ======
+<fs large> he/him </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Sophia dM. (she/her) \\
+About: Coming in hot on rollerblades in a burgundy polo and matching cap with his arm in a cast, Pepper Partridge transferred directly into Deanna's chicken coop holding a stack of pizza boxes and with nobody to deliver them to. Not long out of high school, this is his first time leaving his home town, which, now that he's gotten a better look at the place, doesn't seem all that different from Anchor Rock.
+====== Phoenix "Nix" Armstrong ======
+<fs large> he/they </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Ella W. (she/they) \\
+About: Nix is an older resident of anchor rock who is well known in the population as he teaches piano. They can often be found in the town square and he is always happy to have a chat. He is always wearing a waistcoat. He has a child named Lake who was transferred.
+====== Priscilla Everglade ======
+<fs large> she/her </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Rosie S. (she/her) \\
+About: Priscilla is a EXCESSIVELY wealthy 55 year old widow. She has long grey hair, which is almost always tied back in a neat bun and secured with a light blue flower pin. She wears long gowns, and is extremely concerned with her own opinion and appearance. \\
+I can guarantee she will dislike you. \\
+But you are welcome to try.
+====== Renn Andersens ======
+<fs large> they/them </fs> \\
+\\
+Player: Ben C. (he/they) \\
+About: Renn is a musician by trade, but was transferred away from all their instruments: well, almost. They managed to bring a recorder along with them and are always happy to give a brief performance. They're never without their silk scarf, no matter the weather and will take any excuse to attempt to start a band.
