Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Characters/People edit
- Kirare: The Viceroy of Underworld, the galaxy's official worst-of-the-worst prison system, who has no compunctions, a surprising heritage and a problem that ends up in the loss of one of his own. He has no choice but to ask the Mages for assistance, including the one person he cannot stand: Shourron I.
- Alex Kramer: Partner and co-owner of KramerMed Pharmaceuticals, an Earthian corporation, who suddenly notices shortfalls in deliveries of his supplies. He is a talented pharmacist and businessman, but is often oblivious to the obvious.
- Charlotte E. Stevens: The half-Seeress head admin of KramerMed, who decides to do something life-threatening for the company - and the people - that she loves.
- Jason A. Watson: The other half of KramerMed, who often notices everything that Alex would overlook - and not be surprised by any of it. Though human, he's highly perceptive by nature and looks out for everyone around him almost reflexively. Has a devil-may-care adventurer attitude and relies on his knowledge of human nature.
- Rombe: A Hunter ruffian who found his way into Underworld on a dare and a lot of gumption, he ended up hired as Sergeant of the Underworld Guard. When a sudden rebellion catches his attention, he goes to investigate...and never gets his answers.
- Senna Clark: An employee of KramerMed, the manager of shipping and receiving, she works well and sets off no alarms...with the exception of Charlotte and Jason.
