Characters

Evan Baxter:
Evan is one of the chosen few who refuses to take 'no' for an answer. "Everyone has a right to information, man!"

Now he's part-time hacker, and part-time freelance programmer after being expelled from Columbus University.
Jack Newton:
Jack is a well-known wrestler/fighter in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Competition), and seems to have it all; riches and fame. But underneath the surface is a festering mess of unresolved issues. The senseless death of his mother and the abuse visited upon him by his step-father have left their mark, and now fighting is all the meaning he has in his life.
Sam Lewis:
Sam is an artist in the truest sense of the word. He suffers for his art in every way, using every experience as inspiration for his paintings. Painting is his obsession, and his meaning. But still he has to buy food and paint. So in between suffering for his art, he works a day job as a reporter for the Columbus Times.
Tigs:
Tigs is a shining example of hippy parenting gone wrong, and the downfalls of the juvenile detention system. Raised on the streets by her flower-loving parents, she soon learned to look after herself and stand against The Man. When her parents took off to join a commune in California, Tigs stayed in Columbus and became a professional protester. She'll support any cause. As long as they're providing food.
William 'Bill' Sioux:
William is of the Islamic faith, and studies Buddhist and Zen philosophy. He's an avid practitioner of Kung Fu, and works nights as a Paramedic on the streets of Columbus. He's just a decent guy searching for answers.
