The Cast

Kent Reynolds, age 23.  Kent supplies a fair portion of the United States' Gross National Product of snark, a necessary and important service for the country.  When not doing that, he tends to be an all-purpose geek, nice guy, and purveyor of commonsensical advice--except, of course, where his own life is concerned, because of the big Kent-shaped blind spot there.

Brighton Forrester, age 24.  Brighton was born and raised in the Midwest, which explains why she says “howdy” and feels the need to feed anyone who comes into her apartment.  It also explains why she decided to dye her hair and become an atheist.  Every inch a lesbian, Brighton considers herself a bit of a ladies’ lady... and not without good reason.

Harlequin "Quin" Jones, age 23.  Quin is an intellectual with a damn spiffy hat.  He is also Kent's best guy friend, as proven by his willingness to stay up until the drunken wee hours of the morning discussing the literary worth of graphic novels and the superiority of James T. Kirk to all other Star Trek captains ever.  Is perpetually between jobs on principle.

Shelly Gaines, age 24.  Little is known about Shelly other than that she is a) a lesbian, b) a tabletop gamer (a GM, no less!), and c) blessed with generous...assets.  Shortly after her introduction, she was passed over by Brighton for another, blonder lady and left in Kent's company.  He must've made a good impression, because he's now got a standing invite to be the third at her weekly tabletop game.

Melody McKenna, age 25.  Melody is also a mystery, despite being the aforementioned other, blonder lady.  Her and Brighton's primary interactions didn't really involve words, as such.  Will she make another appearance?  Or was she really just a one-night stand?  Only time will tell.  But the fact that she's included in this page would seem to indicate a certain likelihood of recurrence.

Elise Beauregard, age 17.  Elise is a cashier at the Save-U-Much grocery store near Brighton and Kent's apartment complex.  She's been nursing a slighty creepy but mostly harmless infatuation with Brighton for a while and likes to use Interblag abbreviations in everyday speech.  Boiled down to her essence, she's bubbly, sweet, and well-meaning, but it just can't be helped that she's also a teenager.
