The Cast of Characters

These are the names and a brief description of the characters whose quests and feats are recorded on this site’s virtual pages. More will be added as the days go on.

NOTE: These characters only refer to the home OR. Stories submitted by outside staff do not have an official cast of characters.

Hoover Harriet | Nurse

Her name was initially going to be Crumbling Cornerstone. She is a nurse who has worked at the fine establishment since the concrete for the foundations was barely dry. Has a fixation with keeping rooms clean, nevermind the gravity of the case or the current needs of the occupants.

Mad Maxine | Nurse

It’s a mystery: Does she have a hearing problem or is it just impossible for her to not be involved in every conversation within a 500 meter radius? Has all rules and policies and procedures tattooed into her brain. They may be interfering with her ability to pronounce names correctly, no matter how many times it’s brought to her attention. Sails down hallways half-wrapped in a disposable gown, much like a clipper ship in a full wind.

Angry Arnold | Nurse

Is known to have an anger-management problem. When the going gets tough and surgeon requests are high (justified or not), the buckets start flying.

The Shadow Government | Group, Nurses?

The secret executive, judicial, and legislative bodies of government all rolled into one. No one knows who belongs to it, but its votes pass all laws and mercilessly destroy anyone who breaks one. Rumored to be based in a bunker in Kansas.

The Vestals | Group, Nurses

A threesome of extraordinarily old-fashioned, doctor-ego-boosting nurses. Thusly, the surgeons in that service are inordinately spoiled and cannot blow their own noses without help. The room where most of the service practices is called the Temple.

The Big Man | Surgeon

The boss. Would rather speak to a chunk of linoleum than most staff. The inventor and sole possessor of the Glare of Death. Staff have gone missing after being struck with one of those.

Suffering Sammy | Surgeon

Possibly the most polite general surgeon. Is thanked by getting his cases cancelled, moved, delayed and otherwise inconvenienced. It may be an experiment to see how much he can take. Hasn’t broken yet.

Muttering Malcolm | Surgeon

Intense, somewhat paranoid, and bizarre. Walks the halls talking to self with head down. Berates residents mercilessly.

Deadpan Danny | Surgeon

Has a sarcastic sense of humor that you have to know to fully appreciate. One half of the Terrible Twosome and wears his possibly-embarrassing last name well.

Gracious Grace | Surgery Fellow

The best of the fellows. Polite, pleasant, nearly perfect. Thus, suffers much the same fate as Suffering Sammy.
