Hannah McNally

Age 24. Has had quite a few "years out". Studies history, but finds the current curriculum to be far too heavily weighted in favour of The Industrial Revolution, and not nearly enough emphasis on necromancers. Owns a lot of very old books about folklore, cults, magick etc. Doesn't get out much. Mildly paranoid. Has seen ghosts, demons, angels, fairies, killer robots, the giant rat of Sumatra, and genetic mutants, but so far no vampires.People think she's a bit strange.

Lee Simmons

Age 21, acts 12. Studies Film & Media, This involves eating pizza and watching movies, drinking heavily, going out and getting more drunk. Has vague ambitions of being a film director, but this is mostly because it involves meeting lots of hot actresses. Once impersonated British comedy legend Bobby Davro, for no fun or profit. Got a weird swirly tattoo that spontaneously burst into flames, and is now a much bigger, weirder and swirlier tattoo/disfigurement. This is a cause of mild worry to him. Dislikes: doing essays and sobriety. Likes: Hannah

Tony Mason

Fine Arts student. Painting and sculpture have always been the two things that have driven him, up until the point when he started at university, when he realised that what he really wants to do is undulge his love of vinyl and open up a second hand record shop. Thinks that the blokes in High Fidelity were a bunch of "part timers". Likes: French soundtracks, electronica, acid folk and pretty much every other musical genre except happy hardcore

Greg Pilkington

Only child. You can tell. Studies computer programming. Has developed a consciously surly demeanour, in stark contrast to his naturally surly demeanour.The first person he met at university was Lee and they've hung out ever since although neither of them seems to have any reason to. Lives in Halls of Residence even though he's in his second year. Once became addicted to hallucinogenic breakfast cereal. Secret ambition is to see Bill Gates grovel like a dog before him. Likes: gadgets

Dave Stanley

Studies Journalism. Currently a big wheel in the production of the University magazine "PolyGone". Known to close friends as a bit of a Sci Fi freak. Thinks Deep Space 9 is the best TV series of all time. Claims that "stupid things" happen to him constantly.


Beck Cleaver

English student. Thinks she's hot, and is right. Lives with Hannah, rarely talks to her. Once had a fling with Lee, which is a source of mild embarrassment. 85% of her past boyfriends have been blokes in bands. Now single and loving it. Favourite TV show: Slut Patrol. Fantastic Fact: All her immediate family are members of the Six of One Society

Emma Gill

Ex paramour of Tony. Cynical and sullen, although she has a secret enthusiasm for dopey 80s movies such as The Goonies, Gremlins and Ghostbusters. And some others that don't start with G. Hails from grim seaside town and spiritual heartland of goths everywhere, Whitby.



Dinsdale & Noreen Palmer

Hannah's uncle and his wife. Because Hannah's mum tended to disappear a lot, going travelling with little notice during her childhood, she spent a lot of time living with these two. Likes: Folk Rock, cider and the countryside.

Parveen Kaur

Studies Business. Beck's sidekick. Serial monogamist. Has bad taste in men. Not fond of cats.
