        Placed here for reference, to help new players acclimate, and for people looking for ally dots on their sheet.

The Crysanthemum Freehold

Queen Marybelle
- The Promise of Mended Pieces - Fairest
Current ruler of the Freehold, a very pretty, and very broken young woman. Alternates between an innocent and mostly addled spring personality, and an exceptionally intelligent but callous winter one. Mostly based on the seasons... mostly

Réal D'Orléans
- The Mouse that Roared - Beast
The mouse eared and tailed 'Guard Captain' and assistant to Queen Marybelle. Exceedingly protective of the Queen and aloof, runs the day to day operations of the Freehold with Thomas. Does not like cats.

Thomas Lorenz
- The Organizer - Wizened
Exceptionally tall and thin, Thomas, a notary, is the majordomo for Queen Marybelle. He, along with Réal runs most of the day to day business of the court, even if the queen seems to prefer the company of the Mouse. Paranoid about the gentry perhaps in part because of his deep knowledge and ability to somewhat predict them, some in the court quietly say that the recent disaster could have been lessened or averted had he been in charge.

Rook
- Wisdom of the mountain - Elemental
The generally quiet, and exceptionally large Rook lived through the worst of both American racism and the durance of the Gentry. Like the stone that he claims as heritage, he outweathered both. One of the most knowledgeable of the court, he currently holds status as a hero, as his knowledge of the city and his vast array of contacts saved most of the escapees from the disaster.

Andrew McConnel
- The Brute Squad - Ogre
Andrew McConnel (Don't call him Drew) is the large Ogre of Scottish descent of the freehold, mostly known for his Motley called the Wrecking crew made of himself and a band of much smaller, very angry and wild darklings. While gregarious and boisterous, mostly him and his are the 'army' of the hold.

Donald DuPree
- Has something to sell you - Fairest
Double D, the deal maker, knower of all people, pleaser of the masses, etc etc. A charismatic if a bit weaselly fairest with extremely heavy contacts with the local Goblin market reached through the Six Flags food court. For those that remain wary of dealing with the Goblins, or who need mundane but still rare or illicit items, Donald is always ready to help for (an honestly) marginal fee. And he always seems to deliver.

Eleanor
- The Monster - Beast? Darkling? ??
You have moved into a dark place. It is pitch black, you are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

Others

Van Dorn and Mwindaji
- The Great White Hunter - Huntsman
Hunting cape, khaki outfit, pith helmet. Array of guns. Unerring tracker. Mustache. British. Van Dorn stalks the city of Chicago, looking to round up the remaining escapees and return them 'home'. A deadly opponent but honorable in his own way, he is assisted by a creature he calls Mwindaji, a two foot tall robed.. something... that carrys extra equipment and lends various abilities to the Hunter.
