ETIENNE​

• Age: mid-30s (life expectancy exceeds human, however)

• Lead singer (and instrumentalist for recorded albums) for a NDH band “Void ? Meddler”. Instruments he plays are the rare one, used for accents or to convey a general feel of the track. Alongside with him, there are also two elemental humanoids in the band, a marid and djin, so the shows are usually filled with fire and steam effects due to this. (band reference: Oomph!, Unheilig, for a few harder tracks/albums: early Megaherz)

• Extremely politically correct in media, with practically non-existent Internet presence - the latter mostly consists of meme-like occasional posts on social media.

• Has a colourful sleeve tattoo, which is surprisingly not about skulls and demons, but rather more abstract colourful underwater life: shells, waves, flowers, etc.

• Has well-trained, low voice. He speaks with a certain accent, making his "T" and "R" sounds harder, with fire-like rustling behind the words. His singing voice is a little higher, and devoid of accents. Reference: chorus here (at 00:43)

• The biography is almost completely covered in mist. He speaks in what sounds like a German accent, although not exactly with it, and seemed to pop out of nowhere around fifteen to twenty years ago somewhere in North Germany. People say what is known is completely fake, although there's little to know: he just popped up starting as small clubs singer, but due to being so exotic, quickly grew in popularity, soon taking the stage.

• Had never been married on in a serious/official relationship. In media he prefers to flirtatiously shrug it off, and make himself look available, however, a trained eye of a detective can spot that he refuses to answer any personal questions.

• Occasional rumours pop up, however, young women claiming of pregnancies, violence/rape, but they fade away as quickly as they start, and Etienne never comments or provokes them.

• A few real occasions of him losing his temper are official, though - although he had never seriously injured anyone, he seems to be easy to explode - figuratively and literally. Prone to threats of violence.

• Due to the demonic appearance is often considered a 'bad example' for the youth, and blamed for lowering the morale, since his works are often of whether explicit or just suggestive manner. He never takes them seriously, and shrugs them off with a bit of humour.

• Does not drive.

• Has high body temperature of about 48C/120F, and seems to be even higher inside, since he tends to jokingly kiss (implied burn) people who irritate him.

• Rarely smiles, as, having red bones, nails and, yes - teeth, thinks it looks extremely creepy. And it does, smile looking bloody if nothing else.

• Can be called an ifrit - in other world, native (probably through human ancestry) for this dimension fire genie.

• Politically is actively inactive.

Victoria Sullivan
Age: 29 /human/ years

• Works at the city paper as a up and coming (hopefully) reporter. Has worked there for nearly three years.
• Has a relatively noticeable online presence. She posts small personal journal type posts on her media in addition to the articles published through her work place.
• She runs the celebrity and such stories and is known for extensive research so that her work is factual. Although a lot of her work involves the scandals and relations among the spotlighted people she is running after a big story.
• She is very single minded and focused, with a lot of ambition.
• Victoria is known amongst her coworkers and few friends as somewhat aloof, maybe to some even cold. She has yet to pursue any relationships and hardly maintains any existing ones, being truthfully anti-social.
• She is a big people watcher and analyses everyone around her, often quite good at "figuring" others out.
• Victoria is a huge believer in truth and works hard to keep everything she writes truthful and is blunt and frank.
• Despite how factual she tries to keep her work, holding to the belief that the true story is what people really think and act like, there is always some misinformation or straight up rumors weaved in, at a percent of 75% truth and the rest without proof or backup.
