The Old Firm Complete discreet disposal of irksome and unwanted mammals etc

From the outside, an anonymous, slightly derelict shopfront - perhaps a little heavy on the air of sleazy noir detective, but otherwise unremarkable. No one's exactly sure what The Old Firm do, despite the text which seems to imply that they're in pest control (actually it's a literary joke, based on a Neil Gaiman short story... a joke Aaron alone understands, probably); generally the firm are seen as *fixers*, general dogsbodies who'll dabble in any and everything. In truth, it's the HQ of the human 'Resistance'.

Aaron 'Mal' Malloy - The *illustrious* leader
Reluctantly leading the motley crew of freaks, geeks, runaways and lost souls. How, exactly, did a self-confessed labrat, most comfortable lurking in the background and keeping things ticking over rather than being the catalyst for anything, get there? It’s something of a mystery to him too, really, though the answer is painfully simple; everyone else, the people who go out and risk their necks, just keep on dying. Which means that somehow (and this would be really amusing if the position didn’t come with so much baggage, starting with that life expectancy…) he’s somehow ended up the sole surviving member of the team who established the first resistance. Technical whizz. Genius on good days, obsessive compulsive crazy the rest of the time.

Anna Lynn D'Arn - back from the dead and still not sure what she does. Coffee, maybe?
Anna… basically doesn't have any real job-skills, as far as their vampire slaying, ass-kicking stuff goes, or any real job within the group. If anything, it would be keeping everyone entertained (or annoyed, as the case may be) with her hyper-air-headed-sweet-innocent disposition, and making the most amazing coffee ever. She ran briefly with the Resistance group, back when it was in it's early days, then saw a chance to slip unnoticed back into "normal life", and took it, not saying good-bye to anyone there, hoping they'd think she died, so no one could find her. Years later, her new life in shambles, she sought out Aaron, the only member of the Resistance she remembers that is still alive, and showed up at his doorstep.

Cassie Turner - handling the practicalities
The official second-in-command (such as there is any real hierarchy) and the most business-like of the group. Officially Cassie’s a journalist, which is probably how the resistance are so well informed (not least because she’s the one *sophisticated* enough to move around *respectable* society), but off the books she handles the niggly little things the idealists don’t think about and Aaron hasn’t got any real clue how to run,and as such is a bit of a *Jack of all Trades*. Her demeanour is usually suitably classy and authoritarian in a *1920's starlet* sort of way.

~~Philomena~~ 'Phil' ~~Guinea~~ 'Ginny' Leahway - negotiating with the shiny things
To sum Phil up in three words? She's a tomboy. While Aaron's forte is the finicky inventory stuff she's damn good at keeping everything ticking over. Generally this means hitting it with a hammer and shouting until it starts working again, but whatever. She's also the baby of the bunch, though more a 'crazy cousin no one talks about' than 'little sister'. Personality wise, she could be said to be the butch to Cassie's femme, though that's a hideous overgeneralisation both of her and of their relationship, which swings from Cassie-as-protector/Phil-as-protege to married-couple to... god knows where.

Tara Morrison - the vigilante
Tara’s a total anti-vamp fanatic following the murders of her family. After running as a rogue slayer she’s teamed up with Aaron and co because they seem to have the best chance of kicking undead ass, though she’s not really interested in them beyond that potential. She’s all about *doing*, and gets frustrated with the *waiting* and *planning* and *more waiting*… and anyone not 100% focused on the slaying is likely to be on the receiving end of her wrath.

The characters and situations within are the original creations of their deranged over-caffeinated minds and probably of little interest to anyone.
