Whats a Slayer? to every generation is born a slayer..just one. to fight the demons and devils and dark creatures. Buffy is the current one. She died for a second once, so Kendra became a slayer. Then Kendra died, so Faith became a slayer. Buffy died again, but no new slayers appeared. Buffy came back. In the last season of Buffy , the baddies were killing all the potential slayers in the world. So Buffy and the gang gathered a bunch together, trained them, made a small army of potentials, and then split the slayer power from Buffy and Faith into all of the potential slayers. Seeing as the show ended immediately after without so much as a prologue, we have NO IDEA what everyones power levels are. Last we heard, Buffy was in Europe, relaxing after stopping 7 armageddons.Angel has been around since episode #1 of Buffy as a mysterious do-gooder. We soon found out he is a vampire who had done a whole bunch of evil and was cursed with a soul and has wandered around since then suffering bouts of depression and do-gooderness. He and Buffy obviously fell in love, but alas the curse would cause him to go evil again if he ever found true happiness, and apparently taking Buffys virginity is true bliss. So Angel reverted to Angelus (his evil state of mind) and killed one of the cast and Buffy chased him down. Buffy's witch sidekick Willow sucessfully returned Angel's soul to his body but Buffy stabbed him in the chest with a sword anyway and pushed him in a heck-dimension. he returns for seasons 2 and 3 for more angsty love with buffy before moving to L.A. for Angel season 1. Angelus has come out a few more times to go on rampages, but nobody has the desire/guts to put Angel down.Spike showed up in sunnydale in season 2 (with drusilla). as a bad guy. Hes another tough guy vampire and has killed a few slayers already, so he sees Buffy as a challenge. He comes and goes during seasons 2 and 3, then returns for season four and is captured by the Initiative, the top-secret government paranormal investigation and beat-down squad. They put a chip in his head that prevents him from fighting the good and innocent.  He then becomes a pseudo good guy. He falls for Buffy but it isnt until she dies and comes back that she develops any interest in him. They do the nasty but she decides shes just using him and dumps him.He gets annoyed and goes on a mission to restore his soul in a last ditch attempt to win her over. He gets his soul back but is much less angsty about it then Angel. At the end of Angel last season, as part of the deal with Wolfram&Hart, Angel was given a special amulet for a "champion" to help Buffy fight her Apocalypse. He brought it to Buffy but it was decided that he cant/wont be her hero, so Spike stepped up to the plate and died saving the world.Which brings us to this season of Angel, where Spike is returned, as a ghost, obviously due to whatever plans W&H had for Angel (or Spike, if theyre really good)Wesley was the second Watcher on Buffy in season 3. (did he come with Faith? Or was he giles-replacement? memory fuzzy.) He got kicked out of the Watchers , so he became a rogue demon hunter (whats a rogue demon?) and  joined the cast of Angel 7 episodes into the shows run.  Watchers are just pretentious British supernatural guardians who read books and train Slayers and fight evil. They got blowed up real good in the last season of Buffy.Former Angel cast member Cordelia started as the annoying popular-girl on Buffy, became part of the "Scooby gang" (term for Buffy and friends) and then moved to L.A. after graduation, strted working for Angel, was given the power to see the big bad dangers Angel needs to face and was written off the show after last season in what would be impossible to explain due to a spell that has wiped large portions of the last season out of the character's memories.Gunn, Fred and Lorne have never met Buffy as they all orginated on Angel.Gunn as a cooler version of Blade (of marvel comics and movie fame) Fred as a human captive in a demon-dimension that was rescued by the Angel gang and then stuck around.And Lorne as a demon from the same dimension who's been living here for a while because he's...well, LORNE.As for the senior partners: this is one of lifes great mysteries. Nobody seems to know, although the return of Lefty might shed some light on the subject.Howd I do ?</blockquote>
