Sandy

Archetype: Street Kid

Thirteen years old with dirty blond hair to her shoulders. She is super skittish and will cringe when anybody makes a sudden hand movement. She despises weapons and will cover her ears and scream if a fire fight erupts.

Sandy and her friends saw something they shouldn't have. They are too frightened to speak about it but whatever it is they have been running from it for three years now. Is it a corp? A spirit? Whatever it is has these kids absolutely petrified.

Jerimiha

Archetype: Street Kid

Jerimiah is fourteen although he looks three or four years older. He was dark eyes which seem to express pure fear. He is practically in a state of terrified psychosis and will sometimes drift into a near comatose state, from which he erupts screaming.

Jerimiah is almost completely lost. The years on the road have been very hard on him and his mind and he is on a suicidal borderline. Sandy might be the only thing keeping him from losing it completely, occasionally taking him aside and talking him down from his state.

Ben

Archetype: Street Kid

Twelve and very forward. He is usually the first one to introduce himself it a rare social situation arises. From that point on he will grill the individual for every bit of useful information he or she has. Most people just blow him off, however, due to his age and non imposing statue.

Ben does not get along well with Sandy or Jerimiah because he actually wants to confront whatever is chasing them. Sandy can usually talk him down and has made him promise not to mention their problem to any one they meet. Odds are if whatever they are running from ever finds him he would rather fight, and possibly die, than keep up the chase.
