Frank Walker comes from a well to do family with roots in upstate New York. The Walkers own a paper mill in Rochester, among other concerns, which brings in a healthy allowance for Frank and his siblings. From an early age Frank has had a bent toward the artistic, and the wherewithal to indulge himself in painting, musical composition and finally photography. The last pursuit led him to a part-time career as a photojournalist, largely working on travel assignments for the Boston Globe. Over the course of the years Frank has not been shy about pursuing life's finer pleasures, including wine, women and song, but he remains a bachelor to the present day. His parents sometimes despair that he may never truly grow up, but at least the family business is in safe hands with his older brother, Henry.<br><br>Frank has friends all over the world from all walks of life, and is generally reckoned to be an easy-going and jovial fellow without an enemy to his name. He makes his primary residence in Boston, Massachusetts, where he is certain to enjoy a long and happy life.<br><br><br>

He was raised to be polite, respectful and to think realistically, never dream outside what you know. But he’s a quietly ambitious soul, a bit a dreamer who always thought there had to be more to life then what his parents planned for him. He wanted excitement, he wanted adventure. He can be a bit shy at first, but looks at everything he sees with wonder. His small town ways have made him fearless of the big city, as he doesn’t know how dangerous life can really be. He expects everyone to be as gentle and trusting as where he grew up. However he meets the danger with a chivalrous, all be it naive, attitude. He has a good heart, although he doesn’t realise this isn’t always a good thing. <br><strong>Bio:</strong> Harrison grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Boston, living above the post office that his parents owned, along with his older sister and younger brother. He spent his childhood working in the shop or out on his bike making deliveries. After his deliveries were done he would find a quiet spot, take out one of the left over newspapers and happily loose himself in the words for the rest of the morning, often re-reading the entire paper just to make sure he hadn’t missed anything. It didn’t take him long to decide that simply delivering the news wouldn’t be enough for him, he had to be out there writing it, living it. Of course his parents planned for him to take over the shop one day, so weren’t happy when he announced at dinner one day that he was moving to Boston to become a reporter.<br>New to Boston, Harrison met Frank Walters, a photographer for the Boston Globe. Frank introduced him to a reporter at the paper and before he knew it, Harrison was fetching coffee and checking facts. Now, due to his hard work and determination, Harrison has been promoted to junior reporter and he’s looking for his first big story, one that would show them all that he’s not the green small town boy they all treat him as.<br><strong>Link to Frank Walters:</strong> Frank Walters was one of the first people Harrison met in Boston. Frank got Harrison his first job at the Boston Globe.<br><strong>Links to other PCs:</strong> Harrison met Maggie Delaney when he interviewed auditionees at the Orpheum Theater. He ended up interviewing Maggie more then once, fascinated by her exciting life traveling and performing.<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Insanity:</strong> 1</span>

Outwardly he is a very strict man, colored by his background and current occupation, but he's no stranger to being social and have attended his fair share of social happenings. Outside of his work he is rather positive to be around, but if left alone for any period of time he often becomes brooding and a little bit too dark for most.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Allister was born to a privileged military family out of Long Island. There was no doubt he would become an officer like his brother and father before him, but his road would ultimately lead in another direction. He was enlisted into the academy of West Point in 1910 and graduated with with grades and recommendations. He served as Lieutenant in the Pancho Villa Expedition and as the United States made its way to the European theatre of WWI, Allister was among the first to set foot on French soil. The terrors of this war etched deeply into his soul however and by November 1918 he returned with the rank of Captain and being changed on a fundamental level.<br><br>Resigning from his position in the army, to the great chagrin of his father, he instead signed up to become an agent in the Bureau of Investigation. Given his background in the military, family contacts on his mother's side and his reputation, he was accepted into training in 1919. Come 1921 he was ready for his first assignment and was connected to a BOI-group investigating cult activities on the East Coast. In 1924 during a raid gone wrong against a cult compound in Massachusetts, he was made witness to something that no man should ever have seen in the basement of the compound. After a brief visit to a sanitarium he was released and given a less stressful assignment which he could do as well in his sleep. When he recieved a letter from his old school chum Frank Walters inviting him to Boston for some sort of affair or another, he cheerfully accepted and got the earliest train he could catch. After all, he could work well enough out of town...<br><br><strong>Link to Frank Walters:</strong> Childhood friend and school mate up until college.

Over his life he's proven on more than one occasion that he is perfectly willing to get into a bar brawl or exploit the weakness of another for his own gain. However, beneath all of this he has also proven that he is too much of a coward to make the final leap into something bigger. While quite the active man in looking for business, his brains side of the spectrum simply has never been fine tuned enough to place him into a higher position then just your average grunt. He often comes off as overconfident, even a cocky asshole with really nothing to prove that justifies this attitude. Still, on a good day when not on a job John can sometimes come off as being charming, maybe even kind of she's a good looker after a few drinks. <br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Jonathan "John" Hellyer fancies himself a ladies man entrepreneur, though in truth he is not much of either. A gangster grunt still trying to find his big score, John has spent his entire life on the wrong side of the law. Fortunately for him he has never been brave enough to try something so big that he actually ended up behind bars for any significant period of time. With the arrival of Prohibition, and the boom in organized crime, John has made his living since smuggling small amounts of alcohol to the local speak-easies. John ran away from home as soon as he was old enough to survive on his own, beating up or hurting whoever he needed to earn a quick buck. More often then not he looses everything the next night in the gambling den's.<br><br>The one main thing he does take pride in, which is seemingly true, is that John know's how the real world works.

She’s a free spirit who lives for the moment, who loves a glass of champagne and a good party. She’s been the center of attention for a long time during her career in vaudeville and theater, and is eager to please. She’s not exactly the brightest girl in the world, but her eager, friendly disposition usually makes her well-liked by those she meets.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Maggie was born the daughter of aerial circus performers – the Daring Delaneys, part of the world-famous Reginald Brothers Circus. She participated in the act with her family for some time, but shortly after the Great War, she met a stage magician named the Amazing Dashini. Maggie left the circus to become part of Dashini’s act, where she started to become famous in her own right, as part of Dashini’s famous “Vanishing Girl” trick … and she also began a secret affair with the dashing (and married) Dashini. It was also during this time that Dashini introduced her to the idea that handcuffs could be used for more than magic acts.<br><br>Recently, Maggie and yhe Amazing Dashini finished up a one-year-engagement in London, with a new one-year engagement in New York City. Maggie was sent by the Amazing Dashini to head to New York early, to help set up the theater hosting their act. However, during her voyage home, she learned that Dashini never had any intention of leaving his wife - he'd been lying to Maggie the entire time during their affair. Dejected and depressed, Maggie headed up to Boston, hoping to audition at the Orpheum Theater as a solo vaudeville act.<br><br><strong>Link to Frank Walters:</strong> Maggie met Frank two years ago, when she and the Amazing Dashini did a series of shows in Boston.

Bisexual<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br>(http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/NovemberWerewolf/Female%20Characters/1920-flapper-girl.gif) (http://s307.photobucket.com/user/NovemberWerewolf/media/Female%20Characters/1920-flapper-girl.gif.html)<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Maxine, or 'Maxi' as her friends call her, is always buzzing within the social-circles, armed with a dazzling smile and the latest gossip. Not only is she friendly, she's open minded and often the first to give something a try, whether that be the latest in trends or something as simple as a new drink on the menu of her favorite restaurant. She suffers from no absence of confidence and sees life as a beautiful thing, often supporting peaceful causes and protests in hopes of getting out the message, whatever it might be. <br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Maxine was born and raised by a family of comfort who lacked imagination. Their idea of a family vacation was a two hour drive west to their grandparent's house for a long weekend; then a two hour drive back, a stop by a familiar ice cream parlor, until reaching home as their final destination. This was a comfort with its familiarity for a few years, but as soon as Maxine began to grow up and have her own experiences, her wonder and curiosity only increased. Instead of going to college, she traveled Europe for four months and returned home. Her love of dancing caught notice of a few talent agencies, and from there her career as an entertainer to a thespian took flight. Maxine is content with the more local gigs, including occasional appearances as backup dancers in movies, and occasional roles in film, and would rather stay on the East coast than to move to California to 'make it big'. She's a strong believer in good things coming to those who patiently work for it.<br><br><strong>Link to Frank Walters: </strong> Frank met Maxi early in her career, when she was working as an artist's model to make ends meet. They have remained friends since then. Frank faithfully attends her opening nights, no matter how small the part.<br><strong>Links to other PCs:</strong> Maxi previously dated Jonathan Hellyer.<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Insanity:</strong> 1</span>
