Tamara Marks awoke relatively young in life while on a camping trip. Jess Sexton had been watching her and helped her through the difficult time. She took over leadership of the chantry when the previous leader left to 'walk the earth' two years ago. Tamara is half American Indian, and has learned through some investigation that her grandfather was a tribal medicine man who died in the late 70s. She markets her own line of natural bath and beauty aides to specialty stores up and down the coast. While she has had relationships in the past, she has been single for several years. |

Jess was born in the Midwest and spent his early life on several reservations where his parents worked doing various social services. He became interested in the Shamanic practices, and was walked through his awakening by a medicine man. He traveled for some time, then got married and settled down in Virginia. When his wife left him, he bought the property the chantry now sits on and most of the chantry moved on to it. He was involved with the previous chantry leader, but has been in no relationships since she left. Jess invested heavily in Microsoft and similar corporations in the late 70s early 80s, and is now independently wealthy. He is very much a philanthropist, and he has a daughter and granddaughter in Virginia Beach. |

Lacey Bowen had a normal middle class life until one day in her late teens her car started talking to her. Her parents checked her into a mental institution, where she learned how to pretend she wasn't crazy. Once she was released, she disappeared. Jess found her on a trip to Washington DC six years ago and realized what she was. It took some time for Lacey to unlearn what she had learned in the institution, but she is happy and healthy now. She works at a local doctor's office doing reiki and acupuncture. She has a boyfriend who has no idea what she is, and sings in a band. |

Ruth was born and raised in England. She traveled Europe after the WWII, and learned most of her magic there. Eventually she decided to visit America and liked it enough to stay. While most of the chantry wanted her to take over when the previous leader left, she preferred to stay in more of a secondary role. She runs a tourist shop in a nearby town. She has lots of family in Europe, and some of her grandchildren come to visit her in the summer. |

No one knows much about Alan Gaines' past, as he is rather secretive. He claims that his life was a clean slate when he moved to Virginia two years ago. He has a slight accent, probably eastern Europe, but as it is faint it's hard to tell. As far as anyone knows, he has no real personal relationships. He is very involved in the local community theater. |

Alyssa brought Victor Gutierrez into the chantry a few months ago. He awakened his first night on the grounds, and is doing his best to learn about his medicine from Jess and Tamara. He is a senior at the local high school. Victor is rather quiet, and comes from Mexico, originally. |

Tamara returned from a sabbatical two years ago with baby Alyssa. Though the child was an infant, it was obvious that she wasn't 'normal'. Tamara claims Alyssa is her daughter, but there is no evidence that she was ever pregnant. It is likely that Jess knows the truth of the situation, but every one else speculates, and the general rumor is that Alyssa is Jess and Tamara's child, although the two deny ever having had a relationship. The child has a tendency to disappear but Tamara always seems to be able to find her. |
