Mark - Laura Poston

"Who am I? I'll tell you if you tell me why you were in the vault of the Venice Antiquities Ministry last year."

Body of Work -d8- Laura has hidden in plain sight when it comes to searching for her background on the Internet. She either had or created a career as a fitness model. A search for her name turns up several swimsuit, lingerie and tasteful-yet-nude photos from about ten years ago.

Double Agent -d4- Nobody's really sure where her loyalty lies. Is she a government operative trying to bring down the competition from the inside? Is she the reason no heat comes down on the contestants? There are plenty of powerful people who would be quite happy to know her operations are not what they seem.

Highest Bidder -d4- Laura plays the game for one person - herself. If she can get away with a triple cross to come out on top, she'll do it. Even if she gets cornered she'll do whatever it takes to make sure she lives to run away again another day. She feels there is always a place for people of dubious loyalty like her.

The Green Initiative -d12- When a crew proves to be too dangerous to be let go but too useful to be eliminated, Laura is sent to recruit them into a program called "The Green Initiative". All is forgiven - if you steal for the government. Some of the best criminals in existence trading in a new life for their unique skill sets. This also means she has their expertise to draw upon when you try to run a con on her.

No Such Agency -d12- Is she CIA? FBI? NSA? GSA? Some agency so top secret they haven't even invented the letters for it yet? Nobody knows. She has powerful friends inside the US government that are willing to clean her operational history with a toothbrush. She has access to records and resources people can't even imagine and carries herself with the demeanor of someone who knows that they can have you on a flight to an undisclosed location before you finish ordering your coffee.

Mark - Skylar Koss

"Why kill someone when you can ruin their credit?"

Big Brother's Little Brother -d12- Skylar is the COO of KossWare and the power behind their software development throne. KossWare develops the code for on-line transactions ranging from the worldwide stock exchanges to downloading music legitimately. It knows who you are, what you are buying and how much of it.
Skylar himself is a virtuoso programmer.

Caffeine-Free -d8- Skylar isn't a health nut but he doesn't drink any caffeinated beverages. No soda, no coffee, no tea. He has no qualms partaking in other chemicals and mind-altering substances.

Corporate Patricide -d12- Skylar seized the throne from his father, Leonard Koss, two years ago. Koss Industrial Technologies was already a powerhouse in the industry but got tripped up in some shady dealings and lost the company a ton of money. Skylar pulled the company back from the brink of collapse. He has the loyalty of his top executives and shareholders firmly in his grasp.

Overprotective -d4- Regan Koss is Skylar's twin sister. Despite being involved in the sort of behavior that would make the editors of Maxim blush, Skylar eyes any guys hanging out with his sister as bad news. More than one potential suitor has ended up with their name synonymous with search engine queries of "hepatitis", "Dr. Who erotic fan fiction author", or worse.

Spoiled Punk -d4- Even when his father was on the downward spiral, Skylar partied like there was no tomorrow. He likes all the best toys and all the new gadgets. If someone gets something, he has to have the digitally enhanced version of it.
