NPCs
Martin Graves (He/him) - Monster-hunting Chosen One who has already fulfilled his prophecy. A white guy in his early 20s. Looks kinda like Elijah wood, with short mussed brown hair. One of his feet was badly burned, leading him to walk with a cane.Herbert "Silky" Clemens (He/him) - Lead singer of "Silky & The Solutions", best known for their 2005 album "The Dreamscape". Famously assaulted a fan after a concert. Now back at the Hades for one last concert...
Henry Sweezle (He/him) - A guest from the Dirge, somehow involved in the events there. White man in his 30s or 40s with a whining voice and a rat-like face. On his way to VaccuCon, but not above making a stop to admire the scenery...Sussana Waldorf (She/Her) - Here to protest the concert. White woman in her 20s with dark brown hair and a graphic tee.
Deadra Johnson (She/Her) - Bartender at the Hades.
Job Lewell (He/him) - Black man always in a button-up and tie, and seemingly glued to a clipboard. He's clueless about anything that doesn't have to do with his band.
Jessie Thornback (He/him) - Smaller white man with black hair style in a roguish pompadour, and icy blue eyes. Lead singer of "Namesake", a witch coven-turned-band. Trans-man. Maggie's uncle!
Christopher Deakins (He/him) - Silky's former fan, lover, and victim.
Jordan Jesigo AKA The Sailor (He/him) - Tall, average looking white man with brown hair. Dresses like a dad - a polo shirt/button-up.

Jordan Jr "Jojo" Jesigo (He/they) - Henrietta's youngest child. Child of Henrietta and The Sailor.
Xilin (He/him) - An enigmatic figure who works for M.R.S. When presenting as a human, looks like a tall, lanky, handsome Chinese man with short black hair and gold-painted nails. Dressed very hip. When not in human form, looks like a brilliant, reflective golden-colored giraffe with scales, cloven hooves, and antlers. Has a flirtatious relationship with Keeley that might be one-sided.

ORGANIZATIONS
M.R.S. AKA Myriad Relocation Services - A mysterious non-governmental organization tasked with investigating supernatural occurrences and relocating monsters/cryptids who are risk of human discovery or interference. They have field agents scattered throughout the United States and, presumably, the world including Xilin.

Neither are very communicative with other kids or adults, but they're constantly whispering in each other's ears and giggling.
