He has a particularly feminine face and is sometimes mistaken for such. He's missing a small notch in his left ear from an incident as a child.He went to highschool with Candy and even dated her for a brief period before going to college. It was mutual, but he doesn't seem entirely over it.♡ VIDEO GAMES, WESTERNS/COP MOVIES, ORANGE

CANDY ✲ 22 YEARS OLD ✲ RECORDS CLERKA would-be art student saving up for college. Right now she's just biding her time working at the police station and living with a Craigslist roommate. She doesn't particularly care for the work, more so the people and the things she can get away with when there's nothing to do; which is fairly frequent.She draws and paints to vent her frustrations. A down-to-earth person that finds comfort in passions and helping those around her, but tends to give them more chances than they deserve.Oftentimes a jokester, but in rare moments Candy displays a supreme understanding of right and wrong.Prone to small bouts of sickness.♡ PAINTING, PINK, VOLATILE WEATHER

Beloved by all for his paternal manner and ability to keep the sleepy town at peace for so long - though most would say it's not necessarily a challenge.Everyone insists he stops smoking, though.

GLOOM ✲ 19 YEARS OLD ✲ STUDENTA lonesome college freshman. It was only when she graduated high school that she made real friends with the local punk crowd consisting of roughly four other people. Relentlessly flippant, contrarian, and seems to know a lot more than she should.Gloom frequents the basement of the local arcade where the five of them slack around and drink.She doesn't speak much about how she came to be adopted by Grand Rock's police sergeant, but that fact never ceases to embarrass her in spite of his attempts to genuinely connect.♡ GOTH METAL, RAINY DAYS, HER CD COLLECTION

SUGAR ✲ 44 YEARS OLD ✲ HOSPITAL DIRECTORSurgeon, pathologist, and head of the Grand Rock Hospital. Her emotions and motives are difficult to decipher, what with the constant poker face and naturally arched eyebrows.Sugar idolizes a philosophy of human progressivism and peak health, which people claim is why she's so strict with her employ. But it seems like she wouldn't have it any other way. She tends to fill multiple roles and has no problem doing it - impromptu surgeries and lab work seeming to be her favorite.Notably polite and monotone prose. Good with patients and staff despite her cold demeanor. She dotes on her husband in passing, making light of their admirable relationship no couple in town can seem to match.♡ HER JOB, HORSE RACES, BOTANY

He's seen taking her out to expensive dinners or out of town for shopping some nights out of the week.Contrary to popular belief, he's the homemaker. A carpenter and cook in his spare time.

NINER ✲ 25 YEARS OLD
A man in the employ of a strange benefactor. Not much is known about his work, but it's clear he doesn't quite belong here. He meets Rook at a very convenient time, as it becomes known he wants to quit his job but it's proven to be close to impossible. They string each other along, using their respective knowledge and skills in efforts to fry a much bigger fish.A nihilistic, matter-of-fact person with a pretty bleak outlook on life. He sees himself as a cog in the machine and feels a sense of belonging in that. For a pretty rough-looking guy he has a few rather expensive things, but is in no way materialistic. Niner speaks rather informally and takes a while to warm up to conversation. He's also quite literal, honest, and has a pretty dry sense of humor - if not sarcastic.♡ MECHANICS, FOOD, ROCK MUSIC

WI ✲ 40 YEARS OLD ✲ SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
Rook's mother. Wi, commonly meaning 'sun' in Lakota, is a bright and energetic woman with a passion for taking care of others. Albeit a little overbearing at times, she reinforces the fact that it's simply because she cares. The same goes for some traditions she's held onto since they moved from the midwest.While appearing as a model parent, Rook's constant pleading to allow him to grow up leads her to take a begrudging hands-off approach - especially after he returned from college. She tends to act a little immature to keep in touch with her 'young side'.She's constantly searching for more work to sustain herself and her own mother who lives with them. In her rare off-time she enjoys beading, going out with her many friends, and learning cosmetology like she's always wanted.♡ 80's DISCO, TEACHING KIDS, GOING ON DATES
