Amy Nguyen
Dedicated Heroine 1
Doctor[Knowledge (Earth and Life Sciences), Treat Injury]

Amy is a surgical resident physician at Ben Taub Hospital and she works primarily out of the emergency center.

Her heart is good though, and she's not easily intimidated by anyone. Her first love is actually research of various diseases, specifically virology.

William Devries "Trash Can Willie"
Tough Hero 1
Occupation: Military[Move Silently, Hide, Personal Firearms Proficiency]

Born in 1950 to Dutch immigrants, William grew up in downtown Detroit. Life was a struggle, as his parents attempted to cope with the dramatic change from post-WW2 Holland to the United States. His father became a Brewmaster at Stroh Brewery in the early 1950's while his mother stayed at home and tended a small vegetable garden. William, during the turmoil of the 1960's, turned 18 in 1968 and was drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam. He was part of a US Army Ranger battalion, often infiltrating behind enemy lines seeking Viet Cong command units. 3 years later, William was discharged from the military with a medical discharge. He had supposedly taken shrapnel from a grenade blast. It caused a slight limp in his right legs, and pains and scarring along his back.

William believes differently. He has a vague recollection of recovering consciousness and being in an operating room. The other members of his squad were there as well, all unconscious. He could see doctors...implanting devices into his companions. Strange small metal pieces surgically grafted. William lost consciousness. He awoke in a medical facility in the United States. They told him a grenade had exploded near his squad, killing many, and injuring the others. William recalled his "dream" but played along with what he believed to be a farce. Ever since then, William has felt eyes upon him, watching him... some doctors claim he is a paranoid delusional. William believes that he was part of medical experimentation during the Vietnam conflict, and the government covered it up. He moved from town to town, running from the government men he was sure were following him, until finally his money ran out and he was stuck in Houston. He decided to go to the worst part, the dangerous part, the 5th Ward. Here, he could hopefully lose his pursuers amid the populace and the squallor. And so, William has spent the last 20 years in the 5th Ward. He has become something of a fixture on the streets, and is affectionately called "Trash Can Willie" or just "Willie". He always has a friendly word for anyone who speaks to him, and listens intently to the word on the street. He is always listening for the time when the government comes for him.

Physically, Willie is slim and dirty. He has shoulder-length black and gray hair and tanned and dirty skin. He wears his hair loose, and tangled. He wears dirty jeans and a denim shirt, with a faded army fatigue top over it.

Kia Roosevelt
Charismatic Heroine 1
Student[Knowledge(Art), Knowledge(business), Perform(keyboards)]

As a child, Kia was pretty introvert, shy even. She was perfectly happy to let her big brother take care of her, trying not to attract too much attention to herself. She had a couple of friends, but she was mostly be herself, or with T. (whom she still just calls "T", or "Bro", she's never really gotten used to the "T-Bull"). She also got along quite well with T-Bull's friends, after she got to know them a little better. In short, she was the perfect 'shy little sister'.

Kia's greatest love has always been her music, ever since she first touched that old piano. When growing up, she was often a bit gloomy. Who'd blame her, living where she did? Ever since she layed a finger to the piano, she felt that she could express herself through it, purge the sorrow from her soul. T-Bull had used his money from the garage to see her through university and she took the chance with both hands, signing up for a major in music. However, she also felt a bit guilty and embarrassed that she would receive education, while T-Bull and Momma were still living in Fifth Ward. Because of that, she also signed up for a major in business, hoping that she'd be able to repay T-Bull and Momma once she finished university.

During her year as a freshmen, Kia has matured a lot and has become quite self-aware. Having to do things on her own after stepping out of T-Bull's protective shadow, she took naturally. Receiving lessons in the piano, and praise for her talents have done wonders for her self-confidence, and learning business has done wonders for her 'peoples skills'. She's even started singing, after much encouragement by her tutors.

All in all, Kia is rapidly growing to become a young woman. She's changed a lot and will often surprise T-Bull and the others who only knew her as a little girl, taking initiative and doing things she'd never have dared a year ago.
Heck, she's even quite capable of surprising herself with a couple of stunts now and then.
