Full Name: Daniel Ian Gregory
Age: 52
Occupation: Teacher
Aspirations in life: To raise his children well
Personality: Reserved, but gravitational; intelligent, but moral; outgoing only when unleashed
Personal Biography: Danny is a smart man. From the time he was in school, he knew that almost everyone wanted to get out of his dinky little town, but would be unable to. Those people unable to leave would then be left to produce offspring, continuing a never-ending cycle in children that require education. He is one of 5 teachers in the whole school, covering most social sciences and physical education when needed. He is a caring, outgoing individual with a deep commitment to his kids, Riley and Jen. His wife, Sarah, knows how rare this kind of man is in the dinky little town of Estcourt, and counts herself lucky to have met him in Reddick, Pennsylvania for New Years' Eve.
Danny refrains from anything that could have him looked down on. He doesn't drink, smoke, curse, or generally say 'I hate' ever. He is sometimes considered too content of a person to actually exist, but he knows he is just doing things the way he wants them to be for his kids. He is also the town gun nut, due to his Class 3 firearms license (I.E. fully automatic weapons and tactical explosive devices) and owns several guns; he sometimes sells (legally, of course) his weapons to the townsfolk when they are in need of a reliable saddle-gun or coyote-killer or general plinker gun.

Full Name: Jennifer Christine Gregory
Age: 16
Occupation: Student
Aspirations in life: To ensure her family is okay in everything; to become a bone doctor
Personality: Methodical, but lacking details; persuasive, but misunderstood; reserved, but gravitational
Personal Biography: Jen was an under-active bookworm growing up. Her head was always caught in one of her dad's old copies of the Iliad or Machiavelli; she clearly demonstrated advanced understanding at an early age. In high school, she found herself becoming extremely popular due to her ability to perfectly execute any part in any play put on by the drama department. She always knew she was putting her big brother down by doing so, but she was always there to try and elevate him back up; she never took any credit for anything without getting his help involved. Iliad read at 11? Big brother taught me to read. That tear-jerker performance of Romeo and Juliet? Big brother taught me my lines. She cares for her family beyond anything she could ever think of, and wants to change things for her big brother, who (theoretically) gave her so much.

Personality: Aggressive, but patient; understanding, but decisive; slacker, but passionate
Personal Biography: Riley grew up idolizing Hollywood stunts. He was especially a fan of acclaimed fight choreographer Bob Anderson, and was taught the martial arts at an early age by his father, a former Shaolin practitioner. Though there never was much demand for kung-fu gurus in town, Riley never lost any of the 17 fights he found himself in through his entire school career. His father, having an esteemed position within the institution, managed to pull Riley's neck out of whatever trouble he found himself in, in addition to competing with his little sister, Jen. He is currently on track to move to Reddick, PA to attend school and participate in a stunt organization based out of the area.
