Jaime picked the file up of the desk, flicking through the pages as Kelly spoke. Valerius, what an odd name. He paused to glance over Valerius' resume. This guy was some kind of genius. He turned to the next page, a picture. The kid's white hair and green eyes were a dead giveaway to his heritage. "Right," Jaime said. He snapped the file closed and put it back on the desk. "How much am I getting paid to, uh, report on this guy?"

"You'll be paid our agreed standard for the bodyguard portion," Kelly said, "And a bonus of twenty thousand per week to report back and keep your mouth shut otherwise."

Jaime nodded. An extra twenty thousand dollars a week would definitely make life easier. "When do I start?"

Carrie walked to Kelly's office door, she wanted to ask him something. Carrie heard murmuring inside and pressed her head to the door, her ear staining to hear. She was careful to be quiet and she was curious. (Sorry this is stupid, just trying to find Carrie a way in )

Ooh! Ooh! I want to play! And I'm totally breaking out steampunk Enzi, because my original ideas for her were her to be very mechanically inclined, but that just hasn't fit into HTBD. So I think she still has the inherent magic of shape-shifting (although here I don't think she can be animals, just different people.) But, although she has magical abilities, I think her role is mainly that of a grease monkey. Very hands-on and skilled in things like circuit breakers and gears and machinery and such things. (which will be fun, because I don't know very much of these things.) Form: Name: Enzi Zubizarreta Bakker... Real-world Enzi's father is Basque and her mother is Dutch (but of African descent) so she gets a Swahili first name, a Basque surname, and a Dutch second-surname (going with Spanish style of naming, where kids get the last name of both parents, but the one that is used in daily life is the father's name, which is in the middle), and I am elated. Age: 20 Height: It can change, but her "real" height is about 5'4" Position: Mechanic Personality: You guys know Enzi! Past: Grew up poor in Amsterdam, but is super smart and did her Erasmus in Spain, during which time she did an exchange at MIT (maybe she's acquainted with Val?). Instead of going back to Europe to finish university, when she finished her semester at MIT she left school to work for Drake. She speaks English, Dutch, Spanish, and Basque. Also very basic Swahili- hello, goodbye, and swear words, mainly. Pic/Description: I think I'm going to come up with another character too but Enzi will do for now.

^^^I could make a secretary! I was thinking of a nerdy, computery-type girl anyway, but I think she'll also be influenced by Pepper Potts. Name: Felicity Hawks Age: 22 Height: 5'6" Position: Mr. Kelly's secretary Personality: Quiet, polite, practical, efficient, constantly a little intimidated by Kelly but tries very hard not to show it. Past: Recently hired Duke graduate who studied ritual magic, but works essentially as an office slave. Pic/description: I'll look for one later, but blonde and blue-eyed and very professional. Felicity got up from her desk when the unfamiliar young woman approached Kelly's door. "Excuse me, but Mr. Kelly only takes visitors by appointment," she said, clutching her clipboard to her chest. She slid between the young woman and the door. "Unless you'd like to make an appointment, I have to ask you to leave." edit for ninjas! Squonto, maybe Carrie can be trying to get hired as someone who designs products, or maybe like a test pilot for the fighter jets, or something. Be creative!

^ Oooh, test pilot. Neat idea! Also I like the idea of Val and Enzi knowing each other! I think he's more of a software guy in any case. XD
Val straightened the collar of his dress shirt as he approached Kelly's secretary. She seemed to be busy at the moment, so he waited, hands in the pockets of his peacoat, hoping he didn't look as nervous as he felt.

Felicity looked over the woman's shoulder to see a young man approach the office. She knew Kelly's next appointment was due soon. "Mr. Drake?" she asked, remembering his name from the schedule. She had spoken with him on the phone on behalf of Kelly, but she had not imagined him so young.

Val smiled. "That's me," he said. "And you must be Ms. Hawks?"

Character numero uno. Form Name: Liam St. James Age: 24 Height: 5'10" Position: lab technician (I imagine that he's fairly practiced at alchemy, but he does other research too) Personality: I don't know how to describe him. Past: Originally from the UK. He dropped out of Harvard law school to pursue a scientific degree (not sure exactly what yet. Biotechnology perhaps?) and has since come to work at Drake Industries. Pic/Description: and yes it is Andrew Garfield I could not help myself. Not sure who else to bring in to this.

"Yessir," Felicity said, automatically professional, even though it felt strange to call this guy "sir" when he looked her own age if not younger. She slipped out from behind the girl and offered Drake her hand. "Mr. Kelly has not yet finished with his ten o'clock appointment, but if you have a seat, he will see you momentarily."
