Monologue (Michael)
Strong, athletic, and well-muscled, Monologue is determined to protect his twin brother, Soliloquy, to whom he is deeply devoted. He loves performing for an audience in any situation. He, his brother, and Illusion started the theatre company.

Soliloquy (Matthew)
Darkly pretty and seeming to be his brother's shadow, Soliloquy was once called Lucifer, the fallen angel. Often depressed, he is a bit of a loner, yet loves to perform. He also takes over the office work for the theatre.

Illusion (Elias)
Illusion hides both his past and present behind a beautiful mask as pale as he is dark. It is as much a part of him as any limb, and he only ever takes it off for Silence. He is an old friend of the twins, and lived with them in the early days of the theatre.

Tranquility (Eamonn)
Tranquility is calm and peaceful, and has the same effect on people. He prefers to do things slowly and gently, and doesn't tend to rush.

Delicacy (Alexander)
Subtle and patient, Delicacy almost always gets what he wants. He is an artist as well as an actor, and spends much time observing people. His favourite model is Narcissism, and they are fairly close friends.


Cantata (Ariel)
Cantata has a love of music and singing, especially classical pieces. He is very talkative, out going, and optimistic, and has the voice of an angel.

Blasphemy (Christian)
Angry at the world and all those in power, Blasphemy will speak against anyone who offends him, especially someone omre powerful. He gets into trouble with the authorities more often than out of it, but he respects Monologue and Illusion, and obeys them well enough.

Onanism (William)
Wealthy and recently-orphaned, Onaninism funds repairs and maintenance for the theatre, which he also purchased and donated. He is kind and generous, but very much a loner, and prefers to keep to himself. He is closest to Narcissism, who he feels understands him the best.


Ecstasy (Jonathan)
Ecstasy is the ultimate hedonist, fond of all things soft, sweet and pretty. He is open and friendly with everyone he meets, but does not trust Malevolence at all, for obvious reasons.

Apocalypse (Brian)
Convinced that the world will end tomorrow, Apocalypse is most definitely delusional. He believes in living in the moment, and will try anything once, though most he doesn't try again. He loves acting enough that he will practice despite his beliefs.

Narcissism (Oberon)
Narcissism is completely self-absorbed physically, but by all means wants to share the wealth. He is trained in many forms of dance, and often puts on performances. His closest friends are Delicacy and Onanism.


Silence (Loqui)
Silence is a mute, yet, strangely enough, knows little sign language, communicating instead through gestures and writing. He is very pale and delicate, almost like a porcelain doll. Although friendly, he sometimes falls into depression for no apparent reason. He is closest to Illusion, who understands him and makes him feel treasured.

Restraint (D'eathe)
Restraint is into bondage and the thrill that goes with it, but does not wish to cause pain. For Sanguine, however, he will be a little rough. He and Malevolence were friends and rivals from high school.

Malevolence (Vincent)
For all appearances like a classic mobster, Malevolence loves power, corruption, and causing pain. He is manipulative, but knows when to bow to authority. His favourite is Sanguine, but he enjoys chasing Ecstasy in hopes of corrupting him.


Sanguine (Pierce)
Masochistic and submissive, Sanguine likes Restraint and adores Malevolence, but will go to anyone who will give him what he wants. He loves knives and often looks slightly high, but is actually quite reasonable in most things.

Epilogue (Paul)
Epilogue is cuddly, sweet, gentle and loving, and generaly liked by everyone. He longs for complete emotional intimacy and understanding, and enjoys spending time with Tranquility.

Obsequious (Jervis)
Obsequious is very submissive and ready to please, but can often be sarcastic. He prefers to be treated like a pampered pet, and is very appreciative of people who will listen.


Vehemence (Timothy)
Loud and moody, though never quite violent, Vehemence takes offense easily and can only be placated with complete submission. He wants to be in control, but does not like to cause pain. Having learned piano from an early age, it is one of the few things he truly enjoys, and is enough to keep him with the theatre.

Prelude (Marcus)
Prelude comes across as more than slightly strange with his purple theme and fuzzy bunny ears. He likes to dance and enjoys simpler forms of physical affection, but is less insistent about doing anything more serious. He is very open and friendly, and likes to talk to people.
