Smalls - ex convict from Philly, working as a trucker in Nebraska, with the tattoos yeah. Mixed African-American, Caucasian heritage.
Simon - Horns/tusks.

And the rest.

As to the pro-emergent groups and anti-government groups, it's a bit hodge-podge -- the churches and anti-Emergent groups enjoy the support of most local and all federal police agencies and talk real tough in a time of uncertainty, which is popular. Americans tend to like macho tough talk when shit is going wrong, basically, so these guys are doing that.

In Frisco itself, there are a lot more Emergent-friendly types around, and my feeling is that it'd be fun to play out that political conflict between factions in Frisco -- maybe some politicians are pro, and some are anti..as well a many of the cops.

In that aspect, I'll write about how the Nellis Uprising plays out -- its effect on the community.
