The Blustering Major - Major Edward 'Teddy' Bomb-bluster played by Acme

Recently returned from India, Major Edward 'Teddy' Bomb-bluster, is a man who knows, "what's what, and what's rot!" Now in his fifties, he was a friend of the murdered man back at Heaton Boys Boarding School, and is 'down on his luck' since returned to the Talent Pond. His luck may change if he cuts down on the Gin and Card Games, and concentrates a little more on his 'prospects'.

The Fading Hollywood Star - Scarlett Du'mones played by Kaya

Good Evening! I know that everyone who is anyone already knows me, but my biographer wants me to introduce myself - he is very puppy like, I can't say no! As you know my name is Scarlett Du'mones, star of stage and screen. I was the 'It Girl' in . . . well, a girl shouldn't talk about dates, should she? Suffice it to say that I was adored by all and rightly so! I have been told by some that I am shallow. I have heard that I am thought stupid. I have heard that I am self serving. I don't mind really, let them think anything they want. I am simply playing a role. All the world is a stage and I practice my art twenty four, seven. I have acquired a fortune during my life, you don't do that by being stupid. I have raised funds for countless charities, you do not do that by being shallow. As for being self serving - well, maybe that is true. But if I don't look out for myself then who will? I don't mind telling you that I am beautiful. I could have been a model, but I was too intelligent for work such as that. Tall, thin, blond and large green eyes are my trademark. Men desire me and women envy me. What more could a woman ask for? My career has been on a slight decline for the past few years, but I am anticipating a comeback in the near future. Now that all those homely girls that seemed to crawl all over the screen are now a fancy passed. Just you wait, I will be bigger than ever!

Raj Davonovich - The Professor Played by Rob G. ~Led by the Master~

My name is Professor Raj Davonovich. I am single, detest the thought of getting tangled up in love relations as they always seem to cause more problems and hatred than they do happiness, and I do not allow people to become too familiar with myself or my work. I find that friendship often leads to law suit, and familiarity often lead to breech of trust. I find that there is often too little dedication from people in this day and age no matter what they are doing, pure laziness is what it amounts to if you ask me. I graduated Magna Cum Laud from one of the greatest scientific universities in the World. Which one? See if you can sniff that out, I've hidden all trails to my past as I believe my life should be just that, My Life!

Miss Margaret Marlowe - The Governess played by arakun the twisted raccoon

Miss Margaret Marlowe is tall, thin, short brown hair, glasses. I really can't be bothered with such silly things as makeup and styling my hair. I don't care much for children or for teaching. I'm only putting up with my employer's insufferable brats until my novel is published and I can write full time. I can't imagine why I came on this fishing trip. I hate the outdoors.(note--she imagines herself a wonderful writer, but really isn't much good at it!)

The Stranger played by hbar

Middle aged, not likely to wear shoes, but has a thing for black thigh-high stiletto-heeled boots, or maybe brown ones, okay maybe stilettos in general do it fo him. Well it turn's out they do, not wearing them mind you he likes women in them. He wears fip-flops, jean or shorts (prefers going commando), depending on the weather and a t-shirt. He's not adverse to donning a shirt with a collar and even maybe tucking it in. But, a coat and tie are definitely not on the picture.

He's a kinda quiet, sour sort of guy, curmedgeon some might call him, likes the water and sucks at cards. If the rumor that he's playing poker is true he's most likely lost all the money he came with but won't lose anymore. He'll be content to sit on the sidelines, drink your better ales and make smart-ass remarks. He knows who he likes and doesn't like and doesn't have much problem telling someone he doesn't care for them.

All-in-all, he is a cantakerous old bastard.

The Butler played by Lauriemariepea

Alistair Harriman, 72 years old, born and raised in New York state. A stately 6'2", he still commands respect, though his stooped posture and spindly frame leave him tottering and creaking through his many duties. Legendary in the butling circles for his several decades of sterling service for prominent families, including the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts and the Hersheys, no one knows the reason for his voluntary relegation to the secluded island estate, Talent Manor. (cue suspenseful music)

The Doctor played by Just an Ordinary Jyo

I am Dr. Neville Barry, about thirty one or fifty-five years of age. I am thin and wiry in build, of average height and sharp featured, rather pallid of countenance. I cultivate an air of weary boredom. I am intelligent enough to be deeply disappointed at not being able to pursue higher studies, economic considerations forcing me to earn a living as GP. I vent my feelings by being rather sarcastic and superior whenever I can. I seem to get along well only with the dogs, being passionately fond of animals, although I hide that fact.

George Snuff-n-such - The Heir played by Brit-Girl

George is a stately fellow regal almost but very down to earth and has a rugged appeal to the ladies. Otherwise he dresses finely and is at the top of London fashion trends. His trademark is a renovated bowler hat that he always wears and wouldn't be caught without it. He is a caring soul, and though he appears rather frightening is really a gentle man and wouldn't hurt any animal under any circumstances whatever. In fact he runs the local animal shelter and cares for the strays personally. He is rather promiscuous with the ladies and he loves them as much as they love him. He has never been with a woman for more that a week so any woman who could stay with him for longer would probably be his match. Many of the women fling themselves at him because of his money as well as his good looks but whatever the reason George never goes without a bed partner for more than a few days. It appears he has a phobia of settling down with anyone other than a cat and has four himself along with three dogs whom he loves very much.

Claven - The Spare played by IdaLin

Brother to the Heir of Lord Snuff-and-such, Claven is best described as a
rake and playboy. He is a bachelor around 30 years old, handsome, with dark hair, an easy smile, and a way with the ladies. His appearance is only marred by an unfortunate ear deformity. He is well educated and may have been involved in less than sanguine dealings in his past.

There is no apparent reason he would want to get his hands on the family money... except, maybe to spite his brother whom he has secretly despised since being passed over for the lead in the 3rd grade play of "Hansel and Gretel" in favor of said brother. He is always up for a good challenge.

Brielle Kallysta - The Matron played by jbjackson

Brielle Kallysta is a 50-something widow whose late husband left her in possession of a sizable fortune in railroads and real estate. She's a petite and attractive woman who appears younger than her years. She's quite vain and tiresome, fond of extolling about her husband's prominence and many good deeds, because she is secretly terrified someone will find out she is of Maori descent and her husband married quite beneath his station. She is a member of the Church of England, but purely for the sake of propriety -- her true faith lies in money and social status. She is left-handed, but attempts to use her right hand, clinging to an old Maori superstition that left-handedness is a curse.

The Grandfather with Shell-Shock played by Cemetery Angel of 1829

Grandfather Herbert has not been himself since the War. As an officer, he missed the mustard gas attacks by a few miles (lucky man), but his mannerisms indicate differently. His height and sloping posture with the shock of wild white hair cause a resemblance to a human stork. Absent-minded, eccentric (some call him strange), Grandfather often carries on conversations with invisible people. On warm, sunny days on the patio while the others play cricket, he sips Scotch and mumbles battle strategy. Grandfather is part of the family, though, and no one would consider putting him out to pasture in a convalescent residence-or would they?

The Old Spinster played by janieruthryals

So you want a biography now, do you? I really don't know why. I never bothered with people all that much. However, I suppose it's expected that they'd want to bother with me. Hmmmph! Greta Lynn Snotzenson is my name, but that should be Miss Snotzenson to you. My family is of old money from the south and we often dined with the President and the Vanderbilts when I was a girl. People say I dress irresponsibly, with my fur coats and diamonds. I even overheard my niece say that I dress this way to detract attention from my very large nose and skinny stature. The young twit doesn't know what she's talking about. I promptly cut her out of my will. Ha! Really, I could care less what others think of me. And just to be perfectly clear up front... Don't go assuming that you'll get away with serving me cheap wine in a dime store glass. I want and expect the very best during my stay.

The Suffragette played by Holly Benton

My name is Emily May Watson. I am 27 years old, and unlike most Suffragettes, I am happily married. This is a fortunate thing for me, as my husband is also a supporter of the cause. I am more conservative than some, with my preferences being more for picketting and distributing pamphlets and other forms of propaganda rather than acts of violence. However, I have been an involved participant in a few mailbox fires and the smashing of windows, as well as chaining myself to railings, albeit with the right persuasion from the right person. These are not activities I join often. I have been awarded the Suffragette Hunger Strike Medal and wear it proudly, along with a hat my dear husband had specially made for me. It is quite beautiful, being white in color with delightful white flowers on the front, and banded with ribbons in purple, white, and green, the Suffragette Colors. I enjoy reading the Suffragette Newspaper and good conversation. I am delightful to have met all of you.... well, most of you anyway.

Allison Michaels - The Nouveau Rich played by Patricia Gilliam
Orphaned at the age of 12, Allison learned to survive by buying and reselling
different items--starting at flowers and branching gradually into rare furniture and
luxury items. By the age of 19, she had opened her first auction house. At 25, she now owns several, leaving them in the care of hand-selected managers. She is now living on a 7-figure yearly income.
Though very street-smart, Allision still finds herself a little insecure and awkward
around "old money." She tends to stay quiet and observe mostly but will be quick to voice her opinion if the situation forces it.

The Head of the Local Boys School - Carolyn Elizabeth Baxter played by MollyJeep

As many other women spent their younger years snagging men and settling down to marriage and a family, Carolyn Elizabeth Baxter spent those years on education, and her career. Now, thirty-something, sharp witted, well studied, shrewd and a stickler for good manners, she fits perfectly in a man's world, though it has hardened her character and made her a bit suspicious of other people's intentions. She did not get where she is today by letting people step all over her, nor by believing everything anyone tells her. She is tall and thin with a pretty face and bright green eyes; her curves disgused expertly under the drab brown uniform of the school and her bright auburn hair hidden in a tight bun at the back of her head. Though never married she has had her share of lovers, and is surrounded in speculation of one that disappeared mysteriously. Rumor has it he was a graduate of her reputable school and threatened to divulge a secret. No one has seen or heard from him in 4 years. She denies any involvement with the man and refuses to speak of the matter, as it is not
polite.

Regina White - The IT Girl played by Knightress Morgan

Regina White is one of those people you look at and think "model or ditz?" She is a ditz who quite often forgets things. She has a very curvy body with a face that draws many a man to try to win her. She was always the most admired girl at school. Sweet, deep blue eyes give you a smile as her pouty lips start talking beneath her delicate button nose. She has black hair like a ravens that falls to the small of her back. She is usually found in revealing tanks and shorts. She never wears make-up, though she knows a lot about it and loves to give people make overs.

Jean Cleese - The Cook played by MetaphorSquared

A French chef extraordinaire, Jean Cleese regards himself as mieux du meilleur (best of the best) and everyone around him as bouffons idiots. The day he served Lord Snuff-n-such part of his severed finger in a new dish quite by accident, a dish the old Lord frequently referred to as potage du jour avec un doigt (soup of the day with a finger) got Jean Cleese a lifetime of servitude in repayment for the Lord's silence. Jean Cleese simmered and boiled quietly in his kitchen ever since, whipping his anger into stiff peaks. Such a small thing as a finger brought Jean Cleese such merde incroyable. Now forty, he is piping out his dreams of becoming the world reknowned genius he knows himself to be.
Jean's Philosophy: "Life, La vie est comme une truffe, like a truffle, yes? Oui. Cela
prend du temps de faire le bonbon. The sweet, it takes time to make. No? Oui.
And...you get no bread from it."

Brandon Marlowe - The Landlord played by Brooke - thanks veterans

At 45, Brandon Marlowe was aging rather gracefully. Standing a hair under six foot with thick black hair lightly accented with small streaks of gray, he attracted his share of attention. Gray-blue eyes and his salt and pepper, perfectly manicured goatee only threw fuel on the fire. However, though handsome, he was not a small man. When he took to a barstool to sit and speak to his wife, the seat was literally swallowed up by his oversize rump. A normally jovial man with overactive imagination, he was always telling stories. Everyone loved to see him show up at a party, knowing full well, he would have them laughing within minutes.
Everyone except one anyway...

Rosie Cheeks Marlowe - The Landlady played by MaryLou

The Pub Landlady, Rosie Cheeks Marlowe, is an over-exuberant and overly-friendly
woman (read:nosy busybody). She envisions herself as a Renaissance serving
wench. Thus, her pub is a (hopelessly inaccurate) caricature of a Renaissance
public house. Villagers love to come to the pub just so they can learn how the
Renaissance period was not.

She is in her late twenties, has shoulder-length curly brown hair, blue eyes,
and is 5'5 in her four-inch heeled boots. She has been married to the Pub
Landlord for seven years, but they have no children.

The Vicar played by Bernie Thomas

Tall and stocky, Brother Thomas, 58, could have become a pro football player, or a famous sculptor. Now a mid-level Jesuit Priest, he often reflects back to the single event that changed the course of his life. As it was with Attention Deficit Disorder, the medical sciences had no knowledge of Auditory Dyslexia back then, and now, he can only imagine where another course would have taken him. He could have sworn the Bishop said "Vow of Pottery," and due to that, found he had taken the oath of chastity, poverty and obedience, forcing him to shun the comforts of everyday men.

Half-brother to Lord Snuff-n-such on his father's side, he knew little of his brother; and it was fortuitous he arrived at Talent Manor in answer to Snuff-n-such's summons prior to the storm. Snuff-n-such was elusive in his reason, but Brother Thomas surmised it concerned the family fortune, and possibly a path out of poverty; the vow he hated almost as much as chastity. He hoped Fate would smile on him after all these years, and should the family fortune come to him, he'd dispense with the hated chastity and hit on the maid. However, should Fate have something else in store, he'd hit on the maid anyway he was so horney. But until such time, he forges ahead, honoring his oath, but longing for a single immediate indulgence: salve for the rash caused by that damn collar.
