Sakura's Bio
Appearance: Sakura stands a lithe 5’2” tall and weighs in at only 87 pounds when wet. She has the athletic build of a martial artist. Her lustrous black hair falls to the top of her shoulders, framing her heart-shaped face and eyes the color of Jade. Sakura has a tattoo of the Yin-Yang just above her butt as well as the Japanese symbols for peace, love, and honor circling her right arm above her elbow. Sakura tends to wear trendy clothes that would not stand out at all in a club, despite her preferences; at work she does not wear anything inappropriate, mainly wearing khakis, a silk shirt and a black leather coat when she needs to dress up.
Personality: Sakura is a study of contrasts, while many consider her to be reckless and hotheaded, she is also compassionate and loyal to a fault. Once her trust and friendship have been earned, she will move heaven and earth for her those she cares about, never leaving them in the lurch if there is anything she can do. Sakura is very sure of herself and its difficult for her to ask for help, and this cocky-ness has led her into trouble a time or two, that and her natural curiosity, of which she seemed to have gotten a double portion of.
History: Sakura’s Grandfather emigrated from Japan in 1956 to enrich the lives of his family including his infant son. He founded a Shinto shrine near the docks, administrating to the religious needs of those like he who had been uprooted by the ongoing re-structuring of Japan’s culture by the Government set in place by the Allies at the end of the war. In order to support his growing family, he also taught Aikido lessons, the way of pacifistic self-defense, using your opponent’s attacks against them.
Her father, Kenshin, became a police officer, and married his high school sweetheart, Catherine Valentine. While Kenshin worked hard and considered his job to be a noble profession, he was against his daughter’s joining the force, despite the fact that it was he who inspired her to want to join it. Sakura did very well in school, rarely coming home with less then an A. Sakura was one of the popular girls in school, on the sports teams, getting good grades; she was definitely one of the in crowds, as was her twin brother, Koga. While both her and Koga did party, they never got caught doing anything wrong, as they were more careful of it, and the shame that it would bring to their father as a cop if his children got arrested.
Out of high school, both she and Koga attended the same college where she earned her bachelors in law enforcement, and he began law school. What should have been a rubber stamp of OK on her application to join the LAPD given her training and excellent history and references, turned into a major fiasco. Her father was too good at his job, it seemed in being as scrupulous and diligent as he was, he had managed to ruffle quite a few feathers of the higher ups. They saw Sakura’s application as perfect way to exact their petty revenge on Kenshin, and so they dragged out the process to over 3 months, scrutinizing every detail of her life. Finally seeing that they wouldn’t let her join the force, Sakura cursed out one of those responsible, giving him the ammunition to block her application on the grounds that she was insubordinate. Sorry for the troubles that he had caused to his daughter Kenshin pulled some strings and talked to a few of his friends and landed Sakura a job with a local private investigative service in the area.

Dexter's Bio
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 165 Lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
General appearance: Dresses carelessly in whatever's most comfortable. Medium-short hair constantly out of control. Otherwise unremarkable.
Dexter was born and raised in the wilds of Rhinelander, Wisconsin. His roots are Jewish, but his family didn't practice. Dexter took an interest in technology early, frequently tinkering with electronic gadgets around the house and returning more than one apparently dead device to service. He naturally entered college with the intention of gaining a computer science degree and moving someplace a little more interesting. But while attending the University of Wisconsin Stout in Menominie, he fell in with some friends who were interested in new age paganism. This, combined with his own interest in his heritage led him to an eclectic study of mystic traditions from around the world. In the process he discovered a penchant for languages he had never suspected, and became an accomplished researcher. Though just an undergrad he wound up as a research assistant to a tenured anthropology professor and spent the summer before his last year in Israel, studying ancient Torah commentaries.
Dexter ended up graduating with a double major in computer science and anthropology. All the time spent in front of a computer was having an adverse effect on Dexter's physique, so he took up Aikido to keep from turning into a complete couch potato. After graduation he returned home, unsure where to go with his studies next. One day he was contacted by his cousin Myron (a private detective) in connection with some work Myron was doing for the government. To make a long story short, the two of them managed to break up a ring of antiquities smugglers who had been stealing artifacts from throughout the middle east. Dexter's contribution was mostly research and internet investigation, but he was completely hooked by the thrill of the investigation. He has worked with Myron on a couple of cases since then. About six months ago, Myron called and left a cryptic message on Dexter's answering machine. He said he was into a heavy case in Los Angeles, and would be out of contact for a while. Maybe a long while. He didn't leave any details and Dexter has been unable to reach him since.
Dexter travelled to LA to try to track down Myron. So far he has been unsuccessful, but he has taken a job doing research and computer systems security for a detective agency. This lets him do the things he enjoys, and stay in the LA area to keep looking for his cousin.

Dan's Bio
Actors come from all sorts of backgrounds. Dan Kovalsson just wanted to be in movies.
Growing up in northern Canada, it seemed like a crazy dream. Dan grew up with six cars in the front yard, snowmobiles in the garage and deer hunting every fall. He spent much of his childhood crouched over a six-cylinder Ford, coaxing it to accept a Chevrolet carburetor, or else tearing down dirt roads at insane speeds, playing "car tag" with his friends. But he clung to his dream. Dan took Drama at university and decided he had talent, and looks, and got on his motorbike and made the long trek south to Los Angeles.
Like thousands of others. And, like thousands of others, he hasn't been very successful. His talent and his looks, while exceptional back home, aren't enough to lift him above those thousands. A few parts in student films, some extra work here and there, but he was pretty much starving to death before Graham Vanderwolf contacted him.
Vanderwolf's private detective agency was gathering information on Sarah Swithenbank, a former beauty queen trying to get into acting, who happened to be appearing in a short film that Dan was also playing a role in. When Graham offered Dan two hundred dollars for a quick note on Sarah's visitors, Dan staked out her trailer and provided a detailed report with digital photos and cross-references to IMDB. Graham was impressed with the young man's initiative and thoroughness and suggested he take a few courses, get himself properly trained and then come work for him.
Difficult though it was to give up his dream of acting, Dan took the investigator's advice and a year later he was working for Graham Vanderwolf. He's still not sure about this whole "spying on people" thing, but there are bills that need paying and he hopes this will be more "helping out people who need help" rather than "helping suspicious wives nail their no-good cheating husbands."
His real skills aren't to do with acting at all, but rather with things mechanical. He's good with his hands and drives with near-reckless disdain for life, limb and property.
Dan is cheerful and trusting, and despite the disappointment of his life-long dream, an optimistic sort of fellow. He does have a bit of temper, and has no patience with bad drivers.
He stands six foot two and is a broad-shouldered, good-looking sort of chap with blond hair and blue eyes -- clearly with a good dose of Nordic blood in him. Put him in a beard and a horned helmet, he'd make a great Viking warrior. He seems completely oblivious to his own looks, however, and is always laughing about how he can't find a girlfriend.

James' Bio
Description: James Hale is a fairly nondescript but good-looking fellow; 27 years old, 5'8", 158lbs, brown hair, grey-blue eyes, and a taste for dull-coloured, conservative clothing. He possesses a single tattoo, a celtic pattern about an inch wide encircling the middle of his upper right arm.
His beliefs revolve around loyalty and trust, he doesn't betray people or information of theirs which he may know. He doesn't really expect the same of most people, but he would expect it from close friends. James values his friends highly, and is always happy to spend money on them (when he has money) but is loathe to take sides when there is a conflict between any of them, preferring to mediate if possible.
Background: James originates from Brisbane, a state capital on the eastern coast of Australia. While there he attended University and earned himself a degree with Honours in Psychology in the hopes it would help him get a job as a detective in the Federal Police, or ASIO.
Three successful years after gaining an investigative position in ASIO he quit over a scandel involving amounts of drug money missing from crime scenes. While he was never charged with anything, he was very much suspected of being involved.
He decided to move overseas until the situation was forgotten. So he got in contact with his uncle in LA, Graham Vanderwolf, who ran a private investigation service, and managed to hook himself a job and some accomodation there.
He's spent the past two years in Los Angeles, working for his uncle and generally keeping his head down. He thinks that in about another years time it'd be all clear for him to go home, unless of course he gets enough interesting cases to convince him to stay longer.
