Open Character: Sofie Santos | Slayer | Alignment: Slayer Organization | Human | 28 Years Old

FC: Shay Mitchell

Sofie Santos was born and raised on an Ohio farm. She spent a large part of her life learning about the animals and helping out on the farm to the best of her ability. Even though she was born deaf in both ears, she didn't let her disability hamper her and instead rose above it becoming very fluent in sign language.  

She was a potential but hadn't realized her destiny; until late one night when she was walking her dog and was attacked by a vampire. When she found she could kill the vampire instinctively and with ease - she bolted from the scene. Sofie then started looking into what had happened: into vampires and demons and slayers. Just as she thought she had hallucinated what she had saw, a watcher called Victoria Burke appeared at her door and told her about her destiny.

She then went to New York with her watcher when the demons began to move into the supernaturally-occupied city.

Open Character: Elizaveta Yaroslava | Slayer | Enhanced Human | Alignment: Neutral | Age: 26 Years Old

FC: Keira Knightley

Born in Moscow to a Russian father and an English mother, Elizaveta often preferred to live life on the wild side. Partying, various one-night stands, skipping classes, all these things were a common part of her life. A good-looking girl, and well aware of it, she often used her looks to get ahead in life. Her true talent however, lay in playing the piano but her dream of becoming a professional player died the day she received the news that she was a Slayer.

The oldest potential chosen to become a Slayer, she was twenty one years old. When her Watcher, Vesper Margolis arrived to guide her on her true path, Elizaveta was hesitant at first. Her rebellious nature simply wouldn’t allow her to submit but after her first encounter with a vampire, she soon found herself agreeing to her Watcher’s demands. She stayed in Russia, protecting it from various threats and with each victory, she grew even cockier. News of the Slayer with the Iron Fist began circulating through the area, she was feared amongst the vampires but it was the witch, the one known as Baba Yaga who refused to fear the young girl.

Once she heard of Baba Yaga’s interest in her, Elizaveta seized the opportunity to fight the witch but the fight proved more than the Slayer could handle. Though she’d defeated one of Baba Yaga’s forms, the witch, in her last moments cursed the Slayer. Elizaveta wasn’t aware of the curse until she came into contact with her Watcher, and killed her. Scared of her new abilities as well as causing the death of a human, Elizaveta fled from Russia and secluded herself in the English countryside, away from humans and away from death. She continued to live a life of solitude, until she heard news of Wolfram & Hart, a mysterious law firm that had the power to reverse her cure. And so, she packed her bags once more and travelled to New York, seeking the answers to a cure she so desperately needed.

Open Character: Cecil Reed | Human | Warlock | Alignment: Neutral | 37 Years Old

FC: Nelsan Ellis

Cecil grew up in the Harlem district of New York City, in a multigenerational household. As the fourth of seven children, he looked for something that made him special compared to his siblings, and he found his answer in an old spellbook he found tucked away in his attic. The book had been in his family for longer than anyone knew, but no one else expressed interest in it, due to being caught in more practical needs. Cecil began to study the book, and soon found himself immersed in magical study.

His father and mother were less than pleased when Cecil decided to continue in magic instead of learning a trade, and expressed it in the form of kicking him out when he turned 18. He went into the entertainment business, using what he'd learned to do party tricks to support himself, until one day at a children's party he conjured a demon when he used the wrong ingredients in a spell. No one was hurt, but his reputation was ruined, as was his business. He faced a downward spiral, unable to find any work in a broken economy, and was a payment from being kicked out of his apartment until he saw an ad online for a clerk at a magic store. He applied, and when he proved he could actually do magic in a face-to-face interview, he was hired.

Now he spends his days behind the counter of the Magic Box, where he gets to practice magic in his time off. With more resources, he's learning how to become stronger and better, but he's far from great. Even the best-intentioned of his spells can go chaotic, and no one's quite sure if his sense of humor comes into play with some of the more inventive mishaps.

Can perform up to mid-level spells with varying success

Open Character: Gerald Stewart | Watcher | Alignment: Slayer Organization | 59 Years Old

FC: Liam Neeson

One of the last classically-trained Watchers, and one of the oldest, Gerald was on assignment in England training a potential when the Bringers began their systematic slaughter of the potentials and the people who trained them. He was able to get his potential Slayer, Molly, to Rupert Giles before the Bringers could find them. He also worked with the Wiccan Coven to find any other Potentials that he could in England before the Bringers got to them. He didn’t know that when he sent Molly off with Rupert Giles, it would be the last time he’d see the young girl, and upon getting word of her death and the deaths of all the other young women, he started to grow bitter. While he had lost Potentials before, he had always been there with them, earning his fair share of the scars.

He crawled into the bottle for some time, only coming out when Giles called him out of retirement. Gerald didn’t come willingly, only giving in to Giles mentioned how he would have the chance to ‘prevent another Molly’. While he had previously favored a more hands-on approach to Watching, he began to employ tough-love as his primary teaching method. He was not the girl’s partner, but her Watcher. He got sober and stayed that way, finally having a purpose, and even though he did everything to avoid appearing like he cared about his new charges, other Watchers could tell he still did, in fact, care.

He spends time at the Magic Box when he isn’t training his Slayer. He knows of S.H.I.E.L.D., but prefers to not have much to do with the large organization, even though he recognizes them as allies; just like he’d accepted the necessity of the Watcher’s Organization in its time, but had never truly liked it.

Taken Character: Alex Fowler | Slayer & Field Agent | Alignment: Slayer Organization & S.H.I.E.L.D. | 23 Years Old

FC: Teresa Palmer

Born into a military family, Alex spent most of her time traveling around the world. Her father, Marcus, was a high-ranking officer in the United States Army and Alex’s hero. As much as she looked up to her father, she did not want to go down the same path and opted instead to pursue a career in mechanical engineering. It was during her last year in college that Alex received word of his father’s demise in Iraq. Instead of letting the grief overpower her, she continued towards finishing her degree and graduated with honors.

Alex's skills with machinery soon attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the organization approached her with a job offer she could not refuse. She soon found herself walking down the halls of an esteemed yet highly secret organization, working with some of the world’s top engineers, and manufacturing vehicles that she could only dream of. Working behind the scenes and sometimes, even in the field, Alex had become a formidable agent. However, things took an interesting turn when she was called to her duties as a Slayer.

Even though she was reluctant to leave her job as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Alex soon left the organization, traveling to her assigned watcher in France. Though she was eager to help, Alex found a part of herself yearning for her old life. She was shook when her first watcher, Anna, died, along with the two other slayers she was teamed with. She slowly adapted with her new watcher, Rupert Giles however, the moment she heard about the supernatural attack on New York as well as the demise of various S.H.I.E.L.D. agents under the same circumstances as the recent Slayers, she rushed back to New York to help her comrades and find out the source behind the deaths. Alex has been reinstated as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent as well as being an active slayer. In addition, the Director has asked her to be a liaison between the two organizations.

Open Character: Lydia Buchanan | Human | Psychic | Alignment: Wolfram & Hart | 31 Years-Old

FC: Ginnifer Goodwin

There was nothing special about Lydia Buchanan's childhood. She was an average girl, living an average life, in an average middle class family, with average grades and an average-looking future ahead of her. However, Lydia had goals of being anything but average. She only needed something to jumpstart her climb to the top. Her wish was granted when she, on her 18th birthday, was presented with the otherworldly abilities of a psychic. 

Lydia quickly took to her abilities, using them to further herself at a rapid pace. She moved to New York City as soon as she could, completely cutting contact with her family, and opened a small business as a psychic. She was one of the only "legitimate" psychics in the city, but she took a lot of cues from the scam artists who shared her profession. She would give her clients enough truth to real them in, then read them until she was able to garner some of their biggest secrets. She would overcharge the clients who didn't have anything to offer, but some of her more lucrative endeavors included blackmailing some of her richer clients for as much as she could. Soon enough she was living in the lap of luxury. 

Unfortunately, one of Lydia's clients, an heiress who felt slighted by the woman, almost had Lydia at the wrong end of a vengeance demon curse. In a stroke of luck, Lydia also had been approached by a recruitment specialist for the law firm Wolfram & Hart. She quickly entered into a contract with the firm, in order to save herself from the curse. Though she signed away many freedoms with the organization, she didn't mind working for them. They exploited her abilities  but so did she. And they paid her very well for it, in addition to letting her keep her shop.

Can communicate with the dead

Very observant

Can easily tell whether or not someone is lying

Open Character: Stephen Crowley | Human/Warlock | CEO, Wolfram & Hart Inc. – New York Branch | Alignment: Wolfram & Hart | 54 years old

FC: Morgan Freeman

Born the second son of his generation, it was destiny that Stephen should rise to a position of power and strength – at least that was what he’d been told. Hailing from a family long steeped in magic, tracing back most prominently to the renowned occultist Aleister Crowley. Being the second bore with it a great amount of responsibility and expectation in a family such as his but still, even at an early age, Stephen showed an aptitude for spell casting and retaining the details of spells and rituals that pleased his parents. An influential and wealthy family, Stephen was just as quickly taught the necessity of privacy and secrecy, and learning whom could be trusted and whom in fact, could not – and more importantly than all, how to deal with those that would betray ones confidences.

It was this attitude that carried him to valedictorian of his private high school class, and on towards Stanford University to pursue his political science and business degrees, intent on double majoring, looking for a way to combine his passions, what he excelled at and his and his families goals into something that would serve all of them well. It was at the end of his freshman year that he was approached, and quietly offered a membership in one of the more exclusive ‘clubs’ on the campus; the secret society known simply as the Black Roses. It took some consideration, only out of concern that the interests of the society might interfere with his own, but after a few conversations with some of those that sought his pledge, and realizing the type of doors that could be opened for him, he agreed. 

By the end of his second year and after obtaining his first of many degrees to come, he had accepted the future job offering that had been made by one of the senior members of Wolfram & Hart – a junior associate at the law firm, conditional on his successful obtaining of his law degree and bar exam, with spectacular scores to boot. 'Only the best and the brightest,' the sponsor declared, setting Stephen on the path that he would follow for, thus far, the rest of his life. In his fifth year at school, while working towards his law degree, he met and became involved with the young woman who would later become his wife.  Since then, he has been on the fast track most of his career at Wolfram & Hart. He served as warlock, junior associate, spell caster and necromancer, associate, vice president, chief financial adviser and now, after working for the firm for nearly three decades, has taken up the mantle of Chief Executive Officer of the New York branch, just in time to see the city be engulfed by supernatural forces yet again.

Powerful in Necromancy, and Dark Magicks.

Access and control of Wolfram & Hart assets

Skilled in social politics and interoffice relations.

Open Character: Fletcher Brandt | Roubinud Demon (Physical Specialty) | Alignment: Slayer Organization | 2,547 years old (Physically  35)

FC: Joe Manganiello

Born under the name Alexandros, in Athens in the 6th century, BC, Fletcher lived a challenging life. Young Alexandros was born to a Hetaera (well-educated, high-society courtesan), however, when she became pregnant with the boy, his father, a wealthy and influential leader, had them sent away to avoid a scandal. Alexandros and his mother traveled the country, seeking small, low-paying work. The boy learned quickly to keep his head down, his hands busy, and his mouth shut. When he was 14, he was sold to a slaver to pay some of his mother’s debts. It was soon after, that he was approached by a man identifying himself as a Roubinud demon, and explained that his race existed for the sole purpose of helping good people who needed it most. The man agreed to take Alexandros on as an apprentice, and, after twenty years, Alexandros was made Roubinud demon himself, declaring a specialty in using physical strength to help the needy.

As his name means “protector of man”, Alexandros kept his given name as he worked for hundreds of years as a Roubinud demon, saving the weaker and needy from stronger, corrupt, and oppressive forces. In the 18th century, he was assigned to a new charge, a young Turkish boy named Musa. Alexandros saw that the only way to protect the boy from his violently abusive father was to remove him from the household altogether. Alexandros raised the boy, helped him learn a trade (he had a promising career as a cobbler), and grew very close to Musa. Decades later, when Alexandros recieved word that he was to be assigned a new charge, he helped Musa (now an older man, old enough to pass as Alexandros’ father) onto a ship to America and asked his dearest human friend if there was any last thing he could do for the man. Musa said that his only wish was to have a son, someone to raise to be a good man, just as Alexandros raised him to be a good man. Alexandros introduced Musa to a young English boy on the ship, Samuel, after sensing the boy’s need to not be alone, before he said goodbye to his friend.

After a few years, when his next job was complete, Alexandros made a trip to Boston, only to find that Musa had been killed and the boy, stricken with grief and hungry for revenge, had sold his soul to become a contract demon. Distraught by this news, Alexandros no longer felt himself deserving of his name and no longer uses it. He has used many names since, none permanent, but he currently goes by Fletcher Brandt.

Fletcher’s current job is in New York City. Concerned by the influx of supernatural creatures in New York, the head of the Roubinud order sent Fletcher to work alongside the Slayer Organization to help them fight these powers and keep peace in the city.
