------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William Wu Lei is better known as Billy Thunder to aficionados of the Hong Kong
  wuxia film genre (think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) . The young actor
  recently received his first starring role in a film entitled 'The Three
  Friends of Winter: Bamboo' which is supposed to be the first in a trilogy of
  films. It received rave reviews in his father's home of Taiwan, and went on
  to a limited release in the United States where critics praised the wuxia
  take on the teenaged supernatural romance genre. Billy's relocated to his
  mother's home of Prospect, while he awaits filming to commence on the next
  movie in the trilogy.

Fame 1: Kenna MacKenzie Ravenscrof Sun Feb 03    Kenna
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenna McKenzie Ravenscroft is a name that might be known within the local
  entertainment circles of Prospect. Not only is the redhead a performer at The
  Sideshow, entertaining crowds there in simple cabaret-style singing, to late
  night burlesque, but she is also becoming a well known teacher at Robyn's
  School of Music and Dance, leading classes in various styles of dance, music
  and singing.

Lately, it has come to be known that the young woman has bought the al
  recording studio, Capricorn Studios, where she will continue to be the
  stepping stone that local talent need in seeking the bright lights outside of
  Prospect.

Garan Graves                       Sun Mar 31    Garan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garan is a giant in the world of Business and Finance. There was an article in
  Forbs Magazine that called him the most Ruthless Man in American business and
  proclaimed he had the Midas Touch. It tells the story of how he converted a
  small real-estate company into Via-Corp one of the largest consortiums of
  business on the West Coast.

Fame 4: Babycue                    Mon Apr 08    Chrissy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originally out of North Carolina of all places, the five young women that make
  up the colorful and fairly controversial punk band Babycue have all moved to
  southern California over the course of a few months back in mid-2012. Their
  self-titled first album (featuring an image of a roasted baby on the cover,
  in case anyone was confused about the name) came out of nowhere in April of
  2010; back then, nobody really knew who they were, but they quickly gained
  publicity after that. Ludicrously dangerous publicity stunts aside (like that
  one time when their guitarist punched out an alligator), their unique blend
  of modern punk and ancient legends ('myth-punk', they call it) has been
  almost universally praised as being very, very good; there's been plenty of
  protests against everything from their controversial lyrics to their
  excessively hedonistic lifestyle, too, but as far as the members of Babycue
  seem to be concerned there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Over the past few years the group has played a number of concerts all across
  the USA, plus two gigs up in Canada. Their second album, "Mandatory
  Abortions", was released in February 2012, and the group is currently working
  on their third (as of yet still nameless) album, with an estimated release
  date of 'summer-ish 2013 or so'. They also appeared on 2012's very last
  episode of The Colbert Report to perform 'Din Afore', one of the tracks from
  their upcoming album; they ended up doing it entirely in Gaelic, supposedly
  'so they could actually air the fucking thing without every other word
  getting bleeped' (direct quote).

(Chrissy - full name Christine Bailey - is the group's lead guitarist; the
  other members are all NPCs... for now.)

Reputation: Robert Thompson        Tue Apr 16    Robert
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A retired LAPD officer, this man is in no way famous... outside of supernatural
  circles. Within supernatural circles, this man is well known (Reputation
  Merit) as a paranormal detective and arbiter (especially amongst the undead
  and those who traffic with such).

He doesn't solve crimes for the mortals... he solves crimes that supernatural
  beings (or those with supernatural abilities) have perpetrated on other
  supernatural beings. He is well known as a good arbiter, and is also often
  called on to work out issues between supernaturals when they wish to do so
  peacefully.

L.A.-based cybergoth musician, Silikon, has recently moved to Prospect, and
  been seen frequenting the Crypt. She is known in the goth/industrial scene as
  a talented composer. Though she primarily just sells her music online, she
  does occasional club shows, combining dance with live mixing of her
  compositions.

Fame 2: Romeo MontaHUGE            Sun Apr 21    Romeo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Do you watch pornography? It's OK, there's nothing to be ashamed of,
  you can tell me. "Romeo MontaHUGE" hasn't been in many films, preferring to
  work sparingly, but he has made quite the impression. He was nominated for
  Best Actor in the 2012 AVN Awards, but it turns out he's really not that
  great of an actor. He did win for "Best Oral Scene" But really, his partner
  did all the work didn't she?
        Romeo was, until recently, a Las Vegas based Adult Film talent. Working
  doesn't seem to interest him as much as socializing and partying do, and it
  seems he's often jet setting about to some hot spot or another. He's worked
  less recently, since he's moved to Prospect to avoid the 'drama' in LA and
  Vegas, but occasional will still do some films. He's billed as "The Biggest
  Talent since John Holmes!" Of course, Romeo is humble, never reveals his true
  dimensions, and always claims that John Holmes will forever be the biggest
  male star, and that he is happy to be a close second.
        Given his cache in the industry for his physical blessings, people put
  up with him sleeping all day, missing meetings and the like. There is after
  all, only one biggest living dick in porn, and if you want him, it'll always
  be on his terms. He's got a reputation for parting all night, drugs and women
  and all that of course, but on set he's professional and usually there are no
  complaints, except those from the occasional unprepared starlets.
        (OOC) Yes, this character is a porn star, yes I realize that's probably
  a silly sort of character to play, but don't we all need some silliness in
  our lives? Relax and enjoy!

Fame 1: Deana Williams             Fri Apr 26    Deana
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deana Williams is a Digital Artist and Sculptor from L.A. she was making a
  pretty good name for herself down there before moving to prospect a few
  months back. Her sculptures are beginning to pop up in various art shows and
  exibits around town. Her focus is on 'junk sculptures' where she takes scrap
  metals and turns them into all manner of sculptures from tiny to massive in
  size.

Online: Williams' art has been featured on a number of different small time
  magazines and more than a few websites and if you're into that sort of thing,
  her name may come up regardless of locality.

Groundbreaking Astronomy in Prospe Tue May 07    Horatio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Horace Alexander, a UCLA alumnus and amateur astronomer has recently been
  awarded a prestigious astronomy award for groundbreaking work in identifying
  and tracking stellar objects. Though it is a highly technical discovery, many
  experts in the field are hailing it as the first step toward true
  understanding of our solar system.
        Stephen Hawking likened Mr. Alexander's work in Stellar Fluidics to the
  ancient Polynesian art of reading the waves to predict the locations of
  islands beyond the horizon.
        Neil Degrasse Tyson was quoted as saying: 'With a relatively small
  investment in a heliocentric satellite network, it will be possible to
  predict asteroid impacts around the solar system with nearly one hundred
  percent accuracy.'
        Carl Sagan could not be reached for comment.

Callisto                           Wed May 08    Callisto
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Not wildly famous or anything really. In Academic circles it is known
  she was found tending bar. A professor on a hunch bribed her to take an IQ
  test. The university could not accept the results, no way a high school
  dropout could score the way she did, she had to be cheating. Another test was
  given under tight security, the hardest IQ test available. It was true she
  was literally so intelligent it could not be measured on contemporary test.
  She proved to have an IQ that fell into the 210 range, uncharitable. She was
  quickly given a scholarship to Prospect University. A few weeks later she
  appeared in a small article in an academic magazine billing her as the
  smartest woman alive. Well maybe a bit exaggerated, but she is considered a
  prodigy and one of the great minds of her generation. Well among humans that
  is. Fame 1

  stage magician guy, isn't he? Didn't he go off the deep end a year or so
  back? Start saying stuff like in that movie: I see dead people! Crazy little
  nutter! Still, he's pretty well known. Maybe he could make your ex dissappear?

Fame 3: Ravaun Huckleberry         Fri May 17    Ravaun
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps not known so much for his last name, but more for his painfully good
  looks and unique niche in the Adult Entertainment scene. The true origins of
  -how- he got to do what he does is a bit vague, but what he is now is
  incredibly well known. He's prolific in the Adult Entertainment Film industry
  for his niche of that 'Pretty Goth'<Some say Dead Boy!> and his stylized
  videos. Though by far, his videos involve homosexual action, or
  transgendereds with a healthy dose of him cross dressing, the heterosexual
  play seems to focus primarily on pregnant girls. The 'In house' joke is that
  despite being short <physically, he is fairly little, at a full five foot, 4
  inches> is that he has a sizable manhood to offset it. Oh, and he still
  maintains his status as an escort if you can afford the high cost of having
  him as eye candy for a function. Fame 3, App 5 PC. Goth, short, pornstar.
  Sums it up!

Though a long time resident of Prospect, Hawaiian-born Kekoa Fisher has been
  away from his hometown for several years, fighting professionally on the
  Mixed Martial Arts circuits. Around November 2012, he announced his
  retirement from fighting, and it was about two months later that he opened
  Makani Gym and Youth Center in Prospect. (Fame 2)

Child killer exonerated.           Fri May 17    Deil
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Most people won't remember, and you can't recognize him by his face,
  but fourteen years ago, Deil Krause caught the attention of local news when
  he shot his sleeping father at the age of twelve. Arizona officials called
  for him to be tried as an adult. The investigation revealed gross neglect and
  abuse and the matter was quickly hushed up and the murderous child was sent
  to foster care.
        The last headline regarding this event was run in the Flagstaff Sun,
  'No Contest, Pleads Child Murderer'. Naturally, the sensationalism of the
  time resulted in his name being leaked despite the fact that he was a minor.

Typhanie Charles                   Fri Jun 14    Reporter
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A small video from a music website has Geena Thompson, video reporter telling
  the story:
"In an impromptu 2 song performance last night at a crowded coffee house in
  Prospect, California,  two locals,  Typhanie Charles and Gwydion McBryde were
  caught in what may be the performance of the year."

 <Cut to still shot of Typhanie clinging to Gwydion's arm while they sing their
  hearts out to one another>

"Mr. McBryde with his guitar, Ms. Charles with a pair of oversized wooden
  spoons made into impromptu drumsticks belted out a performance of 'You Can't
  Go Home'.  The man's voice was described by one of the employees as
  'Godlike', the woman was spoken of as 'enchanting'."

<Cut to a short video clip from a cellphone camera, reasonably close with
  decent quality, both visual and auditory. Typhanie and Gwydion belt out a
  powerful final rep of the chorus before rocking out the last call and response

"It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright"

He hits as much of a power chord as you can on an acoustic guitar as they sing
  out "Who says you can't go home" and hold the last note off into silence.
  There is a loud and nearly overwhelming applause from the crowd. For a
  performance of this magnitude, even with the background noise, the place
  absolutely erupts in applause. People have their phones out to record. People
  are in awe of this duet. This edges on Epic, if the applause is any
  indication.  They both look a little dazed and Gwydion takes a bow and nudges
  Typhanie, who falls into a faint sketch of a curtsy.>

The reporter goes on to say, "Not much is known about these two except that
  they're local and have been spotted doing a similarly stellar performance
  with the addition of keyboard and electric guitar at a Barbecue place across
  town called Smoke and Barley.  Part of that performance was a solo rendition
  on the electric guitar by Ms. Charles doing Stevie Ray Vaun's 'Voodoo Chile'
  This video, and a couple of others from the different perspectives around the
  coffee house, are making the rounds on Youtube.  You can check out the entire
  video on our website www.musiknewz.com"

Fame 2: Foster                     Sun Aug 18    Foster
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pastor John Foster's Hour of Power! While not exactly primetime TV, Foster's a
  rather well known televangelist in the city. His show comes on every Sunday
  morning where he preaches the "good news" to his flock at his church, The
  Fellowship of Christ. It loosely follows the Pentecostal tradition, with an
  emphasis on collecting donations, accepting the holy spirit, and the
  condemnation of sodomites and liberals. Except as of late, Pastor John seems
  to have turned over a new leaf. He doesn't preach as much about sacrificing
  to God or "faggotry" or even hellfire and brimstone. Some diehards have said
  he's lost his way. Most liberals who actually follow his show just say he's
  become less of a douchebag.

Fame 3: Sadithra Blackheart        Sun Oct 13    Sadithra
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sadithra Blackheart as she is known now, is a popular artist especially in
  certain circles. The young lady is an acomplished painter and sketch artist
  with works in galleries, movie posters and even a few comic book covers. Her
  speciality seems to be a sort of gothic sub-fantasy genre focused on angels
  and demons, as well as human suffering and misery. Some of her most prized
  works include paintings of battles between angels, or the fall of man from
  his 'divine' status and being cast out from the Garden of Eden. Despite the
  religious iconography included in her works, Sadithra professes not to be a
  religious person. The name 'Blackheart' is merely a pen name and doesn't seem
  to imply anything true about her nature. In fact the woman became a
  philanthropist of sorts once she amased some wealth, donating to city
  missions and helping establish one of the finest shelters for battered women
  in Prospect. She can often be found at art galas and fundraisers, especially
  if they involve women and children.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Typhanie DeRose, who has had a following on Youtube for a while now, has seen a
  new rise in fame with the Tina Talarian scandal. <+bbread 12/180>. The
  pregnant ginger, reportedly due to have her first child in January has had
  numerous hits on her Youtube channel since the scandal hit the news. The
  following is a repeat of the news story that hit just a couple weeks ago:

The papers are buzzing today with the newest, hottest Tina T headlines. All
  across gossip magazines and celeb rag mags, various twists on the same
  headline are all over the television and papers and magazines alike. The
  story goes as follows:


                            Tina T's Lesbian Orgy!
                                   -----
                  It looks like Tina T is slumming it lately,
              we at celebnews have the inside scoop with photos!
              A fairly innocuous looking little house in the
              suburbs of Prospect, California. What goes on
              behind these four walls is anything but innocuous
              or innocent as these photos will attest.

<Several artistically arranged candids of Tina T in her underwear along with
  two other women, one caught fleeing the house and trying to hide her face.
  The pregnant Typhanie through the windows of the house, kicking off a pair of
  blue jeans. There are a few pictures of a huge guy making his way through the
  crowd of photographers and standing in the doorway and a nice face-shot of
  the guy through the front door window.>

                  Tina T caught naked with two red heads. One
             of which has been identified as none other than
             the rising star known as Typhanie. That's right
             folks. The very PREGNANT Typhanie. The third woman
             involved in this secret menage a trois is yet to
             be identified, but don't worry folks, we'll find
             out who she is and give you the latest news right
             here.

                  Apparently a giant of a man appeared later,
             just after the unknown woman fled the scene. Who
             is this GIANT? Is he the father of Typhanie's
             baby? Is Tina trying to get pregnant too?
             Is this some sort of weird foursome and not a
             menage a trois after all? We'll find the answers
             and get YOU the truth!

Fame 1: In late 2013, Mrs Jessica Tyler (nei Turner) became the Democratic
  Party's latest representative on the Prospect City Council, making her one of
  the youngest people to ever do so. She is known to be an exceptionally
  charismatic speaker with a very even temper and a way of swaying people to
  her point of view through convincing rhetoric. She does occasionally come
  under fire (metaphorically speaking) from conservative groups due to being
  openly Atheist, but enjoys a high level of approval from more liberal
  circles. During her run for a seat on the Council, she was accused of being
  the Antichrist on at least three separate occasions.

  pulled himself up and educated himself in the local library, and snuck into
  college lectures. Eventually he got an under the table job, and worked his
  way up to a real one. By hisearly twenties he was running numerous businesses
  in town. By his late twenties he was on the town council. By thirty one he
  was the Mayor of Prospect.

        He married a lovely young woman and had two beautiful daughters. He was
  an -excellent- mayor, it should be mentioned. He helped fix numerous issues
  in the city, and really did a lot for the town. Last year, however, he was
  mired in scandal when video surfaced of him cheating on his wife with an
  eighteen year old high school girl. He did not deny the accusations, and he
  volunteered to step down from his position. Shortly afterwards his wife left
  him.
        After that Kenny Brask kind of faded from the spotlight.
