The Remington Door
Major Characters
Name: Severine

Hometown: Unknown

Age / Birthday: Unknown

Ability: Ferrier.

Personality: Stoic. Hard edged. Soft center which is rarely seen.

Dirty little secret: Her life was extended by the nature of her travels and the ability of one of her charges.

History: Severine is a ferrier, one of the gifted individuals that can travel between the mundane and the Realm at will. She brings others back and forth and remains with them during their 72 hours in the mundane to decide if they want to return to the Realm or remain.

Severine rarely bonds with her charges; Reese has challenged her ability to disconnect and remain a cold observer.
Name: Reese Bordelon

Hometown: Unknown

Age / Birthday: Unknown

Ability: Writer.

Personality: Ridiculously hopeful, though she has little reason to be. Sensitive, though not overly so. She likes to help others and has made good use of her ability in the Realm.

Dirty little secret: Was in love in the mundane before leaving for the realm. The man she was in love with asked her to marry him; she chose to leave rather than answer.

History: Born in the mundane, Reese has always been a writer. At some point in her youth she discovered that many of the things she wrote were coming true. She didn't know if her writing was a prediction or the cause. When the true nature of her ability was discovered a powerful player in the Realm sought her and bound her to a year of service.

One year later Reese has returned to the mundane and has 72 hours to decide if she wants to embrace her new life as a free citizen in the Realm or return to the mundane world.
Name: Claudine/Georgess

Hometown: The Realm

Age / Birthday: Unknown

Ability: Time Traveler.
She can only travel in time. She cannot travel between the worlds without a ferrier.

Personality: Cheerful despite her gloomy situation and all the secrets she must keep.

Dirty little secret:

History: Born in the realm, Claudine has the ability to travel through time at will. Her real name is Georgess, but she has taken on the pseudonym to protect her own timeline (while interfering with the past of everyone in her future).
Name: Franka Beaumont

Hometown: Unknown

Age / Birthday: Unknown

Ability: The Fictional Queen. Her sheer willpower forced her into existence. She can do things that most others would never dare attempt.

Personality: Ruthless.

Dirty little secret: She believes Reese is her author.

History: Easily the scariest person in my head. Franka was not born at all, but written by an author in the mundane. She was so strong that she simply came into being in the Realm. She is a greatly terrifying woman, capable of horrible things. She is amassing power and discovery abilities her author never intended her to have.
Name: Lucan

Hometown: The Realm

Age / Birthday: Unknown

Ability: The Contract Holder. Can kill just by looking at you with murderous intent.

Personality: Lucan is hard to pin down. He must show a hard face to those around him, but there's a nice person in there somewhere. His kindness has been muted by his ability and will to survive regardless of the consequences.

Dirty little secret:

History: Born in the mundane. Lucan discovered his ability in the Realm when he was contracted. He soon became so strong that he killed his contract holder. He has been plagued by potential assassins, all taking a gamble for his throne, some threatened by his ability. No one had managed to topple him yet.

Every contract he writes now has a clause that the contracted can not kill him to end their service early.


Minor Characters
I divided the listing up by faction (or as "from the Mundane" or "no faction affliation") to make it easier to navigate. Otherwise it was just a fancy block of text table. I didn't realize I added in this many minor characters as the month went along (and some of them aren't really minor characters either; they may get expanded listings above later).
