Allies

Beta - Proteus' AI computer familiar. Called Beta-chan by Kana. Like her master, she has no full name.

Pamela - An innocent loli who Kana rescued from the insidious clutches of a Vancouver pedoring. Rather than being groomed for CP, now she is being indoctrinated into the cel-shaded paradigm.

Kano - Former Yakuza midboss turned aspiring badass normal, now arguably turned genuine badass normal. He was, with some help from Kana, responsible for slaying Kang Zhang, a half Kuei-Ji half human dude mostly known as the man with the flaming hair.

Casualties

James Reines (Shrike) - Void Engineer who got Nephandirized, bringing an end to Team Techno.

Marilia Caldwell (Silence) - Hermitic book loli of Team Fireball. Consumed by fire and paradox in an untimely botch while burning vampires. Currently not resting in peace. Alive again!

Ren Dynler (Ralson) - Hermitic mage of Team Fireball who majored in Drinking and Driving. Consumed by fire and steel-beam-through-chest in glorious fashion while torching vampires. May he also rest in peace.

Reynolds (MJ12) - ItX traitor member of the shortlived Team Hacker with eight points in AAAA TECHNOCRACY. Killed by Contingent 10 and then baleeted himself. May he rest in peace.

Cabal Cabal Cabal!

The teams of our glorious Chantry.

Team Fireball - One of the dirtfort's two founding cabals, Team Fireball was largely responsible for scooping Uncle Caldwell out of trouble, getting Hontanat out of jail, and torching over a hundred vampires in what could best be described as an accidental suicide bombing. Nevertheless, their final action entirely foiled a dangerous plot against the Hermitic bigwigs and the high enemy bodycount means Fireball is undoubtedly the most successful cabal to date. Their adventures have passed on into legend, along with most of the members. Latest reports show that Cara Stang managed to time out a master mage sometime last thursday and managed to find Marilia's wraith as well. This, along with new blood, could serve as a rallying point for a renewed Team Fireball.

Team Hacker - A shortlived team composed of resident VA Proteus and formerly resident ItX renegade Reynolds. Soon after forming, they departed on an ill-thought out excursion to some island Technocracy base and routed in the face of holographic laser bears. Though disbanded, they could be considered a valuable damcon bulkhead that prevented Reynolds' prodigious flaws from visiting the rest of the chantry membership.

Team Kungfu - The oldest cabal of the chantry, Team Kungfu was responsible for killing one very large vampire, preserving the marriageability of a loli and most recently, beating up random criminals. However, its primary mission so far has been to keep its default leader alive. Owing to a longstanding Kana-Tia dynamic, their missions and modus operandi are simplistic compared to the others and tends to devolve into a beeline to melee range. Through a combination of luck, timely assistance, and madness, has managed to remain the only cabal in which no one has been killed. Given rumors have it that a Hollywood Gunman is about to join our Samurai Girl and Kungfu Maiden, a rename from Team Kungfu to Team Action Genre may be appropriate soon. Also luck, fucktons of it.

Honorable Mention

Team Techno - A primordial team of technocrats consisting of James Reines and some guy nobody remembers. James Reines was subsequently consumed by Nephandi, placing consensual participation firmly on the side of the Traditions.

NPCs

Hermitic Bigwigs

Lucio Sao Salvadore - HO CALDWELL. AND LITTLE MISS CALDWELL.

Edric Hontanat

Victor Caldwell

Josephine Mordant

Noldos Vayne - Poor fellow who lost his soul to Lucius in a partial embrace. Committed suicide in a last ditch spit in the face of Lucius.

Winnipeg's Vampires

Lucius Andari - A serious business vampire. His inability to keep up with Kana's torrent of fictional culture led to his downfall.

Elvira - Lucius' hench-bondage-vampire lady.

Team Timeout

Lussentelay - Skeletal and emaciated heroin addict mage. His arrogance at his own power and some timely help from both Marilia Caldwell's wraith and Josephine Mordant allowed Cara to take him down, bringing Team Fireball out of the nadir of its fortunes.

Red May - Appearance 5 bondage lady.

Cathy - Black girl who goes out with a skinhead.

Sieg - Skinhead who goes out with a black girl.

Vancouver Triads

Kang Tze-Kung - Kuei-jin. Definitely a Kuei-jin.

Kang Zhang - Kuei-jin's son. Dead by Kano's blade with an assist from Kana.

Mr. Lao - Possibly some kind of a normal vampire.

Technofags

Amy Lee - Woman in Black out to capture Kana. Last seen in the Spy's Demise.

Apthalon - ItX cyber-hunter, out to chase down renegades. Like Reynolds.

Guys Who Saved Our Asses

Master Kenshin Takezo

Indian Posse

Tom Oneeagle - A Dreamspeaker who contributed significantly to keeping Kana alive against Winnipeg's Vampires. Leads a clowncar full of Indians.

Bobby - Some guy who got his neck snapped by Elvira. That bitch.

Izzy - A still-pimpled member of Indian Posse. Thinks he's all that with a butterfly knife. He and Kana found their wrlds had little in common.

Contingent 10

They don't fuck around.
