🕑 Added 2021-09-25 01:08:51 +0000 UTC(Note to Patrons: This cast covers up to Chapter 27, and doesn't include information from Chapter 28, so as to not spoil things for the EMCSA readers, who are a month behind.)
The House of Rook
- Andy Rook – A 38 year old content writer for Netflix, who also lives a double life as semi-successful urban fantasy writer Blake Conrad, known for his Druid Gunslinger books. Shaved head, neatly trimmed brown beard, 5'11”, hazel eyes, tattooed on the chest with a griffon, could stand to lose a few pounds. Originally from Ohio, has lived in the Bay Area for over a decade. Our protagonist, such as he is. Still reaping the benefits from one random act of kindness to a stranger named Dave.
- Aisling (Ash) Blake – A 27 year old graphic design contractor for Google. Originally from Dublin, she's lived in the States for 4 years. Red hair, freckles, short (5'4”), fit.

Pregnant with Andy's child. Engaged to Andy.
- Lauren White – A 35 year old personal trainer for the San Francisco 49ers. Originally from Australia, she's lived in the States for 2 years. Very tall (6'6”), very tan, blonde, athletic, emotionally involved with Taylor as much as (if not more so) Andy. Lauren is big and boisterous, but has a tendency to not think things fully through.
- 2nd Lieutenant Niko RedWolf – A 22 year old Air Force Security Forces officer (military police). Originally from South Dakota. Half Lakota, one quarter Mexican and one quarter Japanese. Long black hair, toned and slender. 5'4”. Sarcastic, wry and witty, Niko has basically become Andy's right hand woman, along with Ash, whom she considers her best friend. She's helped provide endless insight to the vaccine program being managed at the local Air Force base, where she works. Also pregnant with Andy's child and engaged to him.
- Nicolette (Yvette) Seydeaux (staff) – The 22 year old maid of Rook Manor. Blonde, with long curly hair. Extremely buxom. 5'9” or 6'1” (in heels). Second generation French-American. Enjoys wearing classic maids outfits and being a bratty submissive. Pretended to be named Yvette at first, at the suggestion of Phil.
- Katie Rodriguez (staff) – The 32 year old gardener of Rook Manor. Hispanic, butch, 5'8”, with short black hair cut in a bob, almost always seen in overalls and a button up shirt. Lesbian and wife of Jenny Peters. Had reservations about the program, but wanted to ensure safety for her and her wife, so they took the deal and came to join the House of Rook.
- Jenny Peters (staff) – The 31 year old cook of Rook Manor. Midwestern and plump, 5'8”, with brown bushy hair. Wears large circular glasses. Tends to be overly motherly and pampering. Bisexual and wife of Katie Rodriguez.
- Taylor Morrison – The 25 year old ex-ex-girlfriend of Lauren White. Platinum blonde, stacked, short (5'2”). Currently still in the doghouse for cheating on Lauren almost a year ago, but close to working her way out of her trouble. As part of her current punishment (dictated by Lauren), she is not allowed to wear clothes.
- Piper Brown – A 26 year old Olympic Volleyball player. Brunette, tall (6'2”), muscular but lean, blue eyed. Went viral for a video of her pre-game warm up dance. Still slightly recovering from abusive treatment at Andrew Covington's home.
- Asha Varma – An 18 year old college student and daughter of Dr. Charlotte Varma. Half Indian, half French, raised in London until last year. Brown skin, black hair, pierced navel, wild child attitude. 5'6”. Party girl and socialite, Asha tends to enjoy causing trouble, as it gets her attention. Has some growing up to do.
- Sarah (Sares) Washington – A 31 year old actress. 6'2”, redheaded, quirky, clumsy and a bit dorky. Originally from New Jersey. Swears like breathing. Very girl next door. Huge fan of the Druid Gunslinger books, and had a crush on Andy before she even met him. Big lover of Broadway theater and musicals, both attending and performing in. Partner of Emily Stevens. Engaged to Andy.
- Emily (Em) Stevens – A 30 year old actress, 5'1”, blonde, blue eyed, pale, slender, very posh, British. Left London for LA just a few years ago. Incredibly charming and witty, with an almost supernatural social sense. Grew up as a child actress in a wildly popular series of movies called “The Dagger Academy” series, but has since struggled to establish a successful acting career outside that role. Partner of Sarah Washington. Engaged to Andy.
- Sheridan Smith – A 32 year old acrobat and performer for Cirque Du Soleil. 5'7” Blonde, frizzy hair, slender and extremely flexible. Very laid back and go with the flow. Has been teaching the girls of the house yoga in her spare time.
- Hannah Nakamura – An 18 year old college student and former cheerleader. Half Hawaiian, half Japanese. Short (5'1”), Asian, with long black hair with blonde stripes in it. Curvy, very well-endowed (44G) and a firecracker of energy. Originally supposed to be joining the House of Watkins, she is much happier being part of the House of Rook.
The House of Yang
- Eric Yang – A 39 year old engineer, and Andy's former roommate. Second generation Japanese American. Short (5'5”) but athletic, if a bit shy and bookish. Piggybacked on Andy's one good deed into a complete life change he wasn't expecting. Andy and Eric are friends, but not overly close ones, despite having shared a condo for most of a decade.
- Lily Wu – a 25 year old coder for Door Dash. Second generation Japanese American. Dyed purple hair, short (5'2”), punkish. Eric's first partner, who expected to be his only partner for life to get majorly in the way. Lily is the iron fist that runs the House of Yang, sometimes making decisions for Eric so he doesn't spend too long dwelling on them.
- Jenny Carnero – a 28 year old meteorologist for the local Fox News channel. Statuesque brunette (5'10”) who always remains overly tanned. Lily's ex-roommate who had to be rescued after fleeing from the person she was supposed to be paired up with, before getting paired up with Eric. Threatened to tell her story to the reporters at the station she worked at, but Lily convinced her that doing so would be bad for all involved. Phil cleaned the mess up.

The House of Marcos
- Phil Marcos – a 34 year old Filipino project manager for Boeing, working in conjunction with the Air Force to manage the vaccine development/distribution program trying counter the epidemic. Probably involved in a sizable amount of heavily classified shit, but he certainly can't talk to you about it. Tall (5'11”), slender and usually exhausted. Has a deep love of fighting games and mischief. Phil always knows more than he can talk about.
- Audrey Percy – a 29 year old Hispanic psychologist and marriage counsellor. Short (5'1”), very curvy. Also a big fighting games fan. Has been doing her best to keep Phil sane throughout the apocalypse. One of the first successful recipients of the current vaccine. Pregnant with Phil's child and engaged to him.

- Dr. Charlotte Varma – a 44 year old French infectious disease researcher working with the Air Force and Boeing. Lead developer on the current vaccine. Average height (5'7”), blonde, matronly but also a bit bougie. Originally from Paris, she moved to London and married Dev Varma, before they emigrated to the US earlier this year with their teenage daughter, Asha (now part of the House of Rook). Was rescued from Covington by Andy but chose to go with Phil.
The House of Covington
- Arthur Robert Covington IV – a 63 year old investment banker. Considers himself the most important person in New Eden. Certainly is the richest. A horrible prick with a rumored proclivity for making his partners do awful things. Runs a regular poker game where people are used as stakes. The person Andy hates the most.
- Lisa Davis – a 25 year old graphic design contractor for Google. Ex colleague of Aisling. Partner for Covington, who does not allow her to speak in public. Ash has been trying to find ways to talk to her on the side.
- Rachel DeMarco – a 28 year old infectious disease researcher working with the Air Force and Boeing. Has only been spoken of, not actually seen in the story thus far.
- Veronica DeLaCruz (deceased) – a 27 year old Hispanic card dealer for the House of Covington privately, as well as professionally over at a local casino. Cheated on her partner (Arthur) with a man named Brian Morrison, and the sexual encounter resulted in her death. The first fatality in New Eden, her death is being used to remind women the dangers involved in being unfaithful in the new world.
The House of Vikovic
- Gregor Vikovic – a 52 year old business owner. Russian, huge (6'2”, 275lbs), muscular, with a big braided silver beard and a fondness for expensive things, particular food and drink. One of the more elite members of New Eden.
The House of Watkins
- Nathaniel Watkins – a 41 year old investor and insanely rich self-made gadfly. Tall (6'1”), lean and Waspy, Nathaniel tends to look more like an out of work yoga instructor than the forty-first richest man in the world. His brown beard is always somewhat disheveled, and seems to relish always walking around in socks and Birkenstocks. Has a friendly relationship with Andy, whom he gave a shitload of money to, seemingly to punish his son.
- Benny Watkins – an 18 year old high school student. Benny is Nathaniel's biggest failure, spoiled and thoughtless, entitled and arrogant. His claiming of Deborah Barnes resulted in his punishment by his father, and the reassignment of Hannah to Andy.
- Deborah Barnes – a 34 year old veterinarian from Los Gatos, originally from Kansas. She was originally assigned to Nathaniel, who used her as a stake in one of Covington's poker games. She was won by Andy, but Benny claimed her before she could be relocated. As part of Benny's punishment, Deborah's been assigned control of Benny.
- Erin Donegal – a 36 year old pharmaceutical representative. Dated and lived with Andy about a decade ago until she gave him an ultimatum - “either your friends go, or I do.” Andy gave her the boot, and she has stalked him on and off since then. Second generation Irish American. Blonde (but dyes her hair brown), curvy, highly concerned with social stature. Andy refused to bring her into his house, and she was reassigned to the House of Watkins.
The House Of Haunton
- Mayor James Haunton – the 54 year old mayor of New Eden. Portly and short tempered. Has a mustache that whole bowls of soup could get lost in.
- Major Monica Peters – the 36 year old wife of the mayor, who doubles as the greeter and tour guide of New Eden for the most recent arrivals.
The House of Jacobson
- Jake Jacobson – the 49 year old owner of the AllStore chain of department stores. Jet black hair with a pencil thin mustache. More reptilian than human, with beady eyes and a perpetual sneer on his face. Hot tempered, petty and vindictive. General asshat.
The House of Baker
- Xander Baker – a 38 year old auto mechanic and car restorer from Ohio. Andy's oldest and best friend. Being relocated to New Eden to get paired up with Captain Betsy Ross. Covered in tattoos, ridiculously muscular, Xander is a gentle giant. Not to be allowed near karaoke machines under peril of death.
- Captain Betsy Ross – a 34 year old Air Force officer, working on the reconstruction program, rebuilding America's heavily damaged infrastructure. Soon to be Xander's first partner.
- Brooke Maloney – a 24 year old Olympic swimmer, and friend of Piper. Second generation Swedish American. Blonde, short (5'4”) and extremely athletic. Originally, Piper was trying to convince Andy to bring Brooke into the House of Rook, but Andy immediately recognized her personality would be a better fit for Xander, and asked Phil to help redirect her.
The House of... Dave?
- Dave... something or other? – a thirty(ish)-something(?) quarantine management engineer for the CDC, who came to test Andy and Eric, and found out that Andy was secretly Dave's favorite author. In exchange for an advance copy of the newest unpublished Druid Gunslinger book, he put Andy and Eric into the system as Top Level VIPs, which has changed their life forever. Nice dude, but Dave's just this guy, you know?

The proposed women and declined women weren't included in this mostly to avoid spoiling things for the non Patreon audience. I'll post a revised version of this every so often, including new people as they're introduced.

This is very helpful. It's also extensive even without the proposed but declined women. Keep up the good work.

Huh. Things I learned today. Post has been updated to reflect that.

Cool rundown. I'm not sure it matters but in the Air Force the Military Police are called Security Forces.
