Background: Bill was born in the early 50's to Fred and Barbara Johns. His father had seen front line service in WWII and was still a serving soldier when Bill was born. Shortly after, Fred left the army and spent the next ten years travelling around Eastern Asia as a UN representative, taking Barbara and Bill with him.

After the birth of Bill's young brother, Hal, in 1960, the family returned to live in the United States, where Fred took up a teaching job to support his family. Bill studied theough college and subsequently followed his father into the teaching profession.

Whilst at college, Bill's experiences abroad led him to question the US's role in Vietnam and he briefly afiliated with a number of radicalised groups before he grew disenchanted with their world view and left them behind.

Following graduation, Bill taught in local schools and colleges before a paper linking the mistakes of the Vietnam war with the then war in Iraq, brought him to the attention of the local university. Bill started lecturing, initially on a part-time basis, but is now Professor of Modern History and a full-time member of the faculty.

Bill is married to Mary (whom he met at college). They have two children in their 30s, Freddie Jnr. and Bethany, both of whom are now married and live away from the family home.

Background: With red hair and green eyes Kathleen is drop dead gorgeous. People notice that right off although they also tend to notice her habit of always dropping things or tripping over her feet. Born November 21, 1942 in Scranton, Pennsylvania to Anthony and Wanda Scott her father was a gunner’s Mate serving on the USS Iowa in the Pacific. She did not see much of him for the early part of her life and grew up instead under the kind gaze of her Uncle Carl who was her father’s older brother. Upon her father’s return he took back his job in the coal mines and got busy giving Kathleen another sister Jeanne in 1945, a brother Raymond in 1950 and a sister Susan in 1956. Things looked pretty good for the family until 1955 when her uncle was killed in the Hurricane Diane Floods. Four years later the coal mine shut down and her father moved the family to Pittsburgh where he found work in a foundry. In high school in 1957, Kathleen began dating William Lewis and he would be her first sexual experience. She entered the University of Pittsburgh to study Chemistry in 1960 and a year later broke up with William although the two would stay friends and very close. In the years to come Kathleen would miss William and long for him to the point that she began to sleep around with anyone and became known on campus as kind of sluttish. She earned her BA in Chemistry in 1964 but decided to return to the University of Pittsburgh changing majors and earn a MA in History. As a junior she had read The Feminine Mystique and now wanted to study Gender History. Her MA was earned in 1967 and her thesis was entitled Tears cried in vain: the true story of comfort women in Japan 1941-1945. She is currently trying to get the thesis published. About that time her world fell apart around her. William had joined the US Air Force and was killed when his plane was shot down in 1967, her second real boyfriend Samuel Ross, who was a rebound killed himself when she broke up with him, and in early 1968 her only brother Raymond was killed at Khe Sanh. All of this pushed her over the edge mentally. She joined the antiwar movement on campus, is currently flirting with the Black Panther Party via attending some of their events, participated in the riots at the Chicago Democratic Convention in 1968 where she was arrested for the first time, has taken up studying Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and Vietnamese, is going back to school to study law and only last week told her family that she was dating Maxine Grey who is not only 15 years older then her but a woman! Maxine works with Kathleen at the University where they both are Graduate Assistants. Her parents are extremely angry at her with her father refusing to talk to her.

Background: Alan was born in 1933, to David and Sally Gains. The Gains family was rather large, and almost as a whole involved in the military, though David was a strict pacifist and instead devoted his life to the study of law. While Alan did love and respect his father, he was fascinated by tales of fighting, and from his various uncles, grandfathers, and sundry other relatives, he started a life-long love of firearms.

When he reached adulthood, he attempted to enlist in the Army, but failed. With no other real choice, he decided to attend college, eventually following his father into the law profession. He was an average student, though it was often remarked that he was quite intelligent. He started his own practice soon after being admitted to the bar, and while it has yet to pick up, it’s considered (in the family at least) only a matter of time.

Appearance: John is ferociously strong for his size, and with his long scruffy black hair and beard he is certainly someone who gets noticed. What is still visible of his face is dominated by the heavy scarring around his left eye, which now sports a cheap glass replacement. He wares old biker leathers and his leathery skin is covered in now green, faded tattoos.

Background: Born on April 19th, 1920 in Philadelphia, John was born 2 years after the great 1914-1918 war. His father had been an infantry man who served in many conflicts during WWI whilst his mother worked in a hosiery factory back home. When John was 3 his father died of emphysema, which his mother swore was cause by gas attacks during his time abroad. Leaving baby John and his mother alone, times were hard as he grew up, but John was a bright lad. He studied hard at school, which his mother always made sure he attended, no matter how much the extra money he would have made from dropping out would have made the family, and he did well.

Upon reaching his late teens John was a bright you man with a head for machines, motorcycles especially and he was earning good money working at a local garage. John's plans however were cut short when he was called to serve his country as America joined the second world war. Much to his mothers anguish at the prospect of losing another loved one to war John had no choice but to join the Army do his duty. John made a fine solder and learned quickly, eventually being promoted to Corporal and joining 1000's of other American troops on the boats to Britain to take part in the D-Day landings.

As John hit the beach in Normandy, almost immediately he took a round to the head, knocking him unconscious. He still had no idea how he survived that day or how he got off the shell destroyed beach, but he woke up 3 days later in a Sussex field hospital, dazed and disoriented. Doctors told him he'd been lucky and that the round was in fact a ricochet, the only reason John is still alive today, but it did cost John his left eye and left deep, permanent scarring around the socket. He remained in Britain for another 6 weeks before he was eventually shipped home.Upon reaching Philly John returned home to find his house empty and his mother no where to be seen. Neighbors later told him his mother had passed away during the last few weeks, something to do with her heart. The Army told John their had been some sort of mistake with the paperwork, meaning he'd not been informed.

Having no family left and no stable income John soon went off the rails, turning to petty crime and living rough. All he had was his old 1920's Norton motorcycle and in 1952 he fell into a crowd of like minded drop outs who called themselves the Stone Wheels Motorcycle club. There were only half a dozen or so of them in the start, mainly petty thieves and thugs, but also another ex-serviceman called Bill, with which John found he shared a common bond, leading then to soon become firm friends. Over the years time passed and the Stone Wheels grew larger, by 1960 they boasted over 50 members locally. For the most part they spent their time drinking and gambling, occasionally knocking off a truck or warehouse to make some money. John and Bill now held central positions within the club and commanded a great deal of influence. However Bill became disgruntled with their current lifestyle and longed to branch out, wanting to go for bigger and bigger scores. Eventually even these jobs weren't enough for Bill and at the time cocaine and heroin were becoming hugely popular, with massive profits to be made for those willing to sell it. This appealed to Bill and a large numbers of the Stone Wheels' members, but there was a small group, mainly the people who had been with the MC since the start, who were dead set against this, John being one of their number. By late '61 the MC was practically as war with itself, with John and Bill at the head of each faction. Eventually, the tensions culminated into a standoff between the two former best friends which left Bill in hospital with internal bleeding and only a 25% chance of living. The cops picked up John a few days later in a local bar as it tuned out someone had opened their mouth, leaving Bill with a 7 year stretch in the Eastern State Pen.

It's now 1969 and John's been a free man for nearly 2 years. He now spends his time drifting from bar to bar, small town to small town, doing odd jobs for cash. All he possesses is his beloved 1960 Harley Panhead called Carmella, who'd been in a lockup his whole time inside and whatever he can carry. It turned out that Bill did survive and even the Stone Wheel MC is still alive, albeit with only a handful of members. John keeps one eye always looking over his shoulder these days knowing his old buddy is one to bear a grudge.

Background: Jerome Padgett is a native of Arkham. At the age of six, he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, which in his case meant in front of a wildly swerving station wagon. Dashing to escape, he stumbled, and the automobile drove over his legs. Since his bones were crushed by both the front and rear tires, he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Fiercely competitive, he has spent his entire life overcoming his handicap. He tries to remain active despite the limits of his manual wheelchair, and occasionally refuses accommodations as a matter of pride. Not infrequently has he dragged himself into places not thought wheelchair accessible. He often finds himself using his mechanical skills to repair damage to his chair.

However, he decided early on that his true calling was in academia – and later realized that he was even better in research and development. His credentials are impressive, and he has a something of a reputation in the right circles. Having worked as a consultant on projects for DARPA, NASA, and the branches of the armed forces, he sometimes wonders, half-humorously, if all he needs are a few projects for intelligence agencies and his collection of employers will be complete.

Background: Nathaniel Levington was born in 1916 to John and Cynthia Levington in the quiet West Virginia town of Kingswood, the third of eight children. John and his wife were farmers and Nathaniel spent most of his youth tending to crops and livestock. When not working on the farm or attending school Nathaniel enjoyed spending his time in the great outdoors, hunting and fishing. He was often seen wandering the hills and woodlands around Kingswood, his fathers scattergun over his shoulder, and his dog Bruno at his heels.

In 1932, a week after his 16th birthday Nathaniel was involved in a hunting accident in which a farmer from the local community was killed. While Nathaniel was cleared of any wrongdoing by the court system, his relationships both with his family and the community soured, and Nathaniel lived the last few years he spent in Kingswood a relative outcast. The only person locally who spent much time with the boy was a priest by the name of Father Ronald Kennedy. Father Kennedy took Nathaniel in when most ignored him, and helped him get through those trying years. When Nathaniel graduated from high school, Father Kennedy suggested Nathaniel attend seminary, as a means of finding peace and of getting out of Kingswood. Nathaniel followed his advice and never looked back.

After Graduating from seminary Nathaniel spent a few more years in a theological school working on a masters in marriage and family counseling. After leaving school he worked in a number of big cities with troubled young men, to great success. There was something about him, that allowed him to connect with the young men, between his charming personality and his natural athleticism, Nathaniel quickly made friends with members of the community. Many young men, now older, look back and thank Nathaniel for getting them out of a bad place in life.

After spending most of his early years deep in big cities, Nathaniel moved to the quiet suburb of Ivy Hills, on the outskirts of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. He still works in the city with a number of youth counseling and outreach organizations, but has slowed down in his later years. He is now happily semi-retired. He supposes he will fully retire when he dies of old age.

During his time as a priest, Father Levington took up writing as a hobby. Combining his love of all things historic, and his passion for the theological, he has written several books on the history of the church, the middle ages, and several “self help” books and a commentary on the book of Jude. These books have been well received and will ensure a steady income for the rest of Father Levington’s life.

Background: Anthony was born in Pleasant Valley, Ohio in 1927 to Stan and Ruth Scott. His parents were devout Christians and tried to instill this faith in Anthony and his brothers. He was the first of three brothers. Anthony was an active child, spending his time participating in sports with the local boys. He was also a small child and he often became the object of fun natured bullying. He would sometimes come home with bruises and sores. As Anthony grew older he took an interest in the martial art of karate in the hope that he could avoid most injuries. This interest would stay with him throughout his life; it became a way to cope with the stressors of life.

While Anthony was a bright kid he never applied himself in school, because he just didn’t care. As he approached the end of high school and the realization of his draft registration dawned on him. Right then and there he decided that college was a better choice than going to war. Ironically once he got to college he discovered that he loved to learn. After graduating from Pennsylvania he went on to Yale and then Oxford. While at Oxford, Anthony spent a lot of time in Germany studying the works of the mathematician Gauss.

During his time in Germany he met and married his wife Katrina. They had their first child a beautiful girl, Roselynn, in 1952. Even with the weight of a doctoral thesis ever on his mind Anthony devoted himself to his daughter, and there was never a more loving father. Unfortunately, three weeks after defending his thesis, Rose contracted polio. The family returned home, in hope of medical care to save their child, but a year later she had passed away. In the wake of this tragedy, Anthony lost all faith in a God and turned to the one thing he knew: mathematics. He managed to get a job at his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. After two failed pregnancies the Scotts finally had another child; a boy, Joshua, in June of 1967. Anthony is starting to believe that his life might have a happy ending now, though the fear of losing his child again is constantly on the horizon.

Background: Born Bernard Braithwaite into a working-class British family, a talent for music and, later, electronics and physics soon saw Barney studying applied physics and computer-assisted audio development at U.M.I.S.T. in Manchester. Completing his degree, Barney tried out jobs at IBM and in the University but, soon bored by the staid atmoshere in early 60s Manchester, moved to San Francisco in 1964. Hanging around with the Beatnik scene, Barney became involved in music and the counter-culture, later organising multimedia "Acid Test" shows at the Winterland and Fillmore, whilst playing keyboards and synthesiser in "Thee Elder Godds" (later: "Dagon"), an eclectic and changing mix of musicians and poets who did the rounds of the "Happenings" and festivals in the Bay area.

Following a breakdown at a concert whilst under the influence of hallucinogens, Barney spent some weeks in a sanitorium. Coming out, he distanced himself from the scene mentally and physically, moving to Philadelphia and concentrating on meditation and solo music projects.

A talented, innovative musician, his work has been commissioned for film soundtracks and he is a studio stalwart. He has a current income of $15,000 p.a. and $150,000 saved or invested in studio equipment and a small ranch outside of town.

Background: Lt. John Yeager is a twenty-three year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, having joined after returning from WWII and worked his way up through the ranks. After a few years on the force, he earned his detective's shield. His no-nonsense policing style and his ability to get results have earned him promotions to Sergeant in 1952 and Lieutenant in 1961. He is a great admirer of Commissioner Frank Rizzo, whose background and style of policing is much like his own. He is married, but has no children. He drives an orange 1967 Ford Mustang.

John Yeager is loyal to the people under his command, and he expects the same loyalty in turn. He is dedicated to keeping the streets safe by putting criminals behind bars. While he may bend a few rules and bloody a few noses to make this happen, there are lines he will not cross.

Background: Sergeant Charlie Rawlings is a 15 year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department and has worked for Lieutenant John Yeager for most of that time, starting when he made Detective back in the 1950's and John Yeager was still a Sergeant. Charlie was promoted to Sergeant himself in 1962. He admires his boss and has the same rough-and-tumble style of policing. He isn't afraid to get his hands dirty or to give a criminal a good thrashing, but he also has a sensitive side that he rarely shows. Charlie is a lifelong bachelor. He frequently picks up women, but he has no intention of ever getting tied down to one.

Background: Born into a middle-class, hardworking family, Terrance (or just simply "Terry" by his close friends and family), alongside his two brothers and two sisters, to a loving mother and a gentle father, both of which had decent jobs. His mother, a nurse, was always there to tend to the many injuries suffered through childhood play. His father, an autoworker, cared deeply for all of his children, though he has a soft spot for Terry, often teaching him about basic mechanics, as well as how to have someone lower their price when buying something (the latter taught mostly because the family was extremely poor).

Terrance, growing up, was outgoing and considered a caregiver among his siblings (as the youngest) to his parents, often helping pay for food, as well as footing the bill for the necessities they needed.

All of the children had been working as soon as they were old enough, except for Terrance, who had other means by which to provide. Although Terry had claimed to have had a job, it was at night, so that had him out of the house at that hour, but in reality, it was simple thievery.

Stealing jewelry, paintings, as well as other small things was a way for the young man to supply his family, as well as mock those who were richer than his family. Through this activity, Terrance met many people, as well as a life long friend who served as his fence. Though, it had dawned on him after a while that it wasn't exactly "kind" to take things that had belonged to others, he justifies it with the fact that they could handle the loss, and he certainly wasn't trying to take anything of sentiment value.

Concerned with things in front of him, as opposed to world history, he doesn't enjoy watching television, instead finding that reading the newspaper sufficed enough to educate him on the daily events.

Finding fighting disgraceful, and firearms sickening (through stories from his mother about gunshots and how treatment for it was excruciating), he doesn't own a gun. But he does have some knowledge of fighting (taught by his brothers), but does not partake unless it is absolutely necessary.

He lives alone now, in an apartment, visiting his family by bicycle, using it to travel from heist to heist.

Background: Markus is a promising young student of Anthropology, first studying in his hometown of Oxford before emigrating to the United States to find work. Unable to find any job which he was willing to perform, he instead aquired a place at the University of Pennsylvania by pretending to have never studied at any other university while paying for his place with a loan which he obtained after assuring the bank in question that not only was he actually rather wealthy but also that his also wealthy father would be willing to invest heavily in their business if they were generous. This is in fact all lies, the same in many ways to the lies that he has told throughout most of his life. He is the illegitimate son of an English student and a much older American serviceman who left her three months into her pregnancy. The English student went on to become a far-left journalist, decrying America as evil with a zeal worthy of any crusader. Her crusade however left to the neglect of her son, who connected to both her and the world only through the multiple masks and personas he wore over his true personality.

Background: Remy Leblanc is a suave con-artist from Louisiana, born in 1940. His father was a petty thief and his mother was a prostitute. While growing up he attended school during the day and ran small time scams, under the careful supervision of his father, at night. At the age of 27, having learned all he thought he could, Remy decided it was time to make his own way in the world. After buying an apartment in downtown Lafayette he spent the next 2 years running cons on some of the most influential members of Lafayette society. Unfortunately, Remy, having been used to his marks being too embarrassed to admit to being scammed, was unprepared when he met someone who did report him. So, being a wanted man, Remy, like any good grifter, packed his things and hit the road.

Background: Richard Cane was born in 1936 to Thomas Cane and Margaret O’Shea in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Thomas Cane was a steel worker. He was a big man with a big heart, but a serious face. When America joined WWII, Thomas joined too; it was his duty to his country and his family he said. Duty is a small consolation to a grieving widow and son when their husband and father is just another body littering a beach in France.
Fatherless at eight and his mother working day and night to support the two of them left Richard with a lot of spare time. Some kids he knew in similar positions ran amok, becoming terrors in town, others withdrew entirely. Richard, however, soldiered on – threw himself into his studies even though he wasn’t a great student and played sports whenever he wasn’t working a part-time job.
In 1955, Richard managed to make it into the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, but the money for him to attend wasn’t there so he signed an ROTC contract to join the Marines when he finished his degree. When he told his mother she almost had a heart attack. She told him constantly that he was making a huge mistake, that he was going to be just like his father and that he had to get out of the contract. When his mother did have a heart attack four months later and died Richard couldn’t help but think it was his decision that stressed her body to the breaking point. Richard took up boxing to relieve some of the anger and frustration he felt after her death, but he never could commit to it fully.
Resolved to do his duty, to make a new life for himself, and to keep safe, Richard finished school and went into active duty. Soon enough Richard remembered his arguments with his mother and her warnings that he was making a mistake – she was right. Richard made Captain by the time he was sent to Vietnam. There was no open conflict at the time, US military was there purely as support. As an intelligence officer that is just what he did – gave advice, set up bases, examined troop movements, identified priority targets, and support. It wasn’t a terrible experience – he was rarely in any true danger, in fact his 4 years were almost up and he was ready to go back home when the memo passed his desk. The Gulf of Tonkin resolution: The USA was to repel by any means necessary any attack on US forces or their allies in the Southeast Asia. It turns out four years active and four years reserve was just a little too much to ask for.
A promotion to Major and a transfer to his own division at Khe Sanh combat base led to one of the least fulfilling posts Major Richard Cane had – and he was happy for it. Khe Sanh army base was a few barracks, some walls and an airstrip. The most Cane did was organize where and when air attacks should be and keep patrols around the highway to ensure the base’s supply line.
Until 1968, The Tet Offensive. In two days almost the entirety of the US/South Vietnamese joint forces came under attack everywhere in the country. A broken ceasefire by the People’s Army of Vietnam had taken command completely by surprise. In many places the fighting was over in a few days, but Khe Sanh got it the worst. For nearly three months the base was under siege. Constant assaults and artillery barrages shook the camp. February 2, four days into the siege Richard had killed his first man, quickly followed by a second and a third. After that much of the siege was a blur, days and nights ran together. Richard found himself organizing the highway’s defense and calling in counter-artillery barrages. Nothing could have prepared him for the sheer chaos of war. The thousands wounded and dead and the scarred and cratered earth burned a terrible image into his mind.
Shortly after, US and Vietnamese forces broke through and scattered the North Vietnamese offensive, Khe Sanh combat base was abandoned by the marines and Richard was shipped home his ‘duty’ complete. Richard received a silver star for his skillful command during the siege and a purple heart for the bullet hole that went clean through his gut – they said he had the devil’s own luck that nothing was pierced, but it sure didn’t feel like it.
It was the summer of 1968 when Richard returned to the University of Pennsylvania for a job. He promised himself something quiet, something easy, and the school administration was more than happy to oblige a ‘war hero’ alumni even if some students were less than enthusiastic.
The life of a librarian suited Richard just fine – he had plenty of time to himself to explore new hobbies and whatever passing interest he had while still collecting a check. Lately he has been stealing up to the roof and star gazing, before that it was books on the macabre and before that it was whatever more conventional history book he could get his hands on.
Life was peaceful and easy, but they say that even the Devil’s luck has to run out some time.

Background: Born to Alexandria and Davison Harland in Atlanta, Georgia, a wealthy family, Christopher received excellent education at a younger age, attending a private school. As a shrewd child, he had little difficulties with the educational challenges provided. Unfortunately he was born as a rather unappealing child, appearance wise, with an oversized nose and rather large ears, resulting in constant mockery that turned him into somewhat of a misanthrope. His intellect further alienated him from children of his age, even in an environment as exclusive as a private school. Despite his almost humorous appearance, he was rather skilled with words, a talent without which the cruel, whimsical bullying of the children would have been all the worse.

Thankfully, due to his father's influence, Davison did not serve in the military during World War I. His mother, a talented doctor, served overseas in a Prisoner of War camp, ensuring that the prisoners were treated well and received proper health care. He graduated the Georgian private school as a valedictorian in 1926, opening the pathway to further education. In 1927, he was accepted into the Georgia School of Technology, where he chose to pursue Astronomy and Physics. Due to his father's terminal illness, Christopher took leave from the School of Technology for a year and did not complete his degree, Physics, until 1932. During his time at home, his father succumbed to the illness. The grief did not slow him down, for he continued his education and in 1934, received his PhD in Physics, again with a specialization in Astrophysics. He received a teaching and research position at the Georgia School of Technology, where he indulged in Einstein’s research regarding the Theory of Relativity.

In 1950s, many years after the war ended, Christopher continued his research in West Germany for several years, gaining a basic understanding of the German language. Unfortunately he could not bear the constant threat he felt, the fear of an offensive by the Soviet Union, so he returned to Georgia in 1955. In 1960, after a disagreement with his co researchers regarding Einstein’s Field Equation, he searched for a position in another University. He was accepted as a teacher and researcher into the University of Pennsylvania. For nine years he worked there, continuing his research, which had now extended to a study of black holes.

Background: Dave Schmidt was born and raised in Laporte, PA. The family farm, which backed up to World's End Park, had been in his family for almost 200 years. Dave never graduated from High School, but instead joined the Army,, doing 10 years in the Corps of Engineers. Even without a High School degree, Dave learned all he could about building and repairing structures, vehicles and more. After retiring from the military, he moved to Philadelphia, purchasing a small house in a skeevy neighborhood in the north end. 5 years ago, his father passed away from lung cancer. His mother, always slightly off, moved to Philadelphia so Dave could take care of her. Dave still maintains the deed to the family farm in Laporte, and visits the place several times a year.

Dave works as a building inspector for the City. He rapidly found out that it didn't pay a lot, so when the local mafia tried to buy him, he accepted. He not only turns a blind eye to certain things he has seen, but also assists in helping them to design 'hidden' locations. He doesn't trust the banks and has his cash secreted in various places...basement of his home, secret safes in other buildings, buried under the floorboards of an abandoned cabin in the woods. He's afraid people are going to figure out he is on the payroll, so lives in a dump house in North Philly.

His mother, Gitta, has been going downhill rapidly over the last couple years. While her body is strong, her mind is not faring so well. She talks about seeing things that aren't there, occasilanlly thinks Dave is his father, and rants in German and other languages that Dave doesn't understand.
