Name: Johannes Law
Personality: Bookish and a bit nervous, but charismatic and forceful when it comes down to something he wants.

He finds joy in life through the discovery and collection of old-world knowledge, which he meticulously copies and records.

Name: 'Darrin'
Personality: Gruff with a sick humor streak.  Darrin cares most for his guns, his money, and himself in this world, in that order.  He'll take just about any job, but after an incident a few years back refuses to do anything with deep dark water.
Description: Darrin is built like a steel block, big, square, dense, and tough.  His usual wear is a heavy armored coat with gloves, boots, and a wide brimmed hat leaving the only visible part of him to be a narrow strip of his eyes and nose.  In more casual situations he usually wears a bandanna and lighter coat.  Underneath his armor Darrin if fairly plain, albeit with practically white skin from wearing his armor so often.
