**Boomer**
Standard muse, an aide﻿, secretary, research assistant. Often plays devil's advocate, or a contrarian to keep Daniel from being to impulsive. In addition to the standard skills, has Academics [Geography], Profession [Cook] and Interest [Current Events] at 40.

**Andrew and Michelle**
Daniel's parents, board members of Gallery. They're generally supportive of his goals to survive the next fall, but don't really think it's a useful endeavour. They get along well with each other, after 40 years together. Spend much of their time in high society, attending events the company presents, and rubbing shoulders with collectors in the art ﻿world.

**Ari Green**
Younger brother of Daniel, by three years. Currently works doing freelance infosec jobs when he needs to. Spends most of his time in VR or in his apartment, only really interacts with people face to face in social situations.

**Susan Green**
Younger Sister of Daniel, by five years. Supports Daniel's studies into low tech living, mostly due to her interest in breeding animals. She is still attending classes, with plans to work for Ecologene, hoping to recreate some previously extinct species.

**Inna Novikova**
Coworker at Gallery, she specializes in authentication of paintings when one is called into question. She usually works for collectors who intend to buy a piece. With nanomachine replication, it's especially difficult, but there are still telltales to go by, if you know what to look for.

**Roger Marquez**
A friend from before the fall, he was one of the millions who were egonapped by the TITANs during the ill-fated hunting safari. Since he was resleeved from a previous backup, he thinks Daniel's concerns about a hypothetical second fall are a waste of time. He doesn't remember being there, as near as he knows, the Fall mostly happened to other people.

**Noriko Kimura**
Next door neighbor of Daniel, he doesn't know what she does, but she apparently does it at night. Even with the variety of schedules people keep, between different habitats, and being able to do most work from anywhere, her job keeps a noticeably unusual schedule.
