Home is where the way is / My road goes on forever
One more voyage to go

Jack | thirtysomething | primary fronter | writer & dork | he/himThe "host" of the system; in our case, that means the person who's been here the longest and who matches the body's history the most. Good-natured, fun-loving, and tends to believe the best of people, but has a cynical streak and a melancholy bent that he tries to hide behind a silly sense of humor. Paradoxically both a homebody and an adventurer. Has a thing for seafaring and space travel.Likes: writing, music, puns, robots n' monsters, taking care of 'the team'.Most often seen: doing the social stuff, engaging in geek culture, doing most human-facing work.Music: Nightfall - Blind Guardian | Tron: Legacy (End Titles) - Daft Punk☕ black, sugar optional

Vander | fortysomething | occasional fronter | big dad energy | he/himA once-angry man who's been mellowed by time and regret, essentially kind but a bit cynical and resigned. Always happy to lend a hand with what you need.Likes: quiet pubs, dark beer, sturdy clothes, having something to doMost often seen: currently, lurking in the back restless wanting to Do StuffMusic: From Eden - Hozier | Black Heart - Calexico☕ coffee with milk

Logen | ageslider (40s-60s) | occasional fronter | man with a Past | he/himFriendly old(ish) warrior with a lot of baggage. While he's been here a while, he's only recently been thrown into front and is still coming to terms with this.Likes: Giving helpful advice, lying in the sun, strong-tasting liquor...we're still trying to figure out any actual hobbies.Most often seen: Metaphorically sitting on the porch giving unsolicited advice.Music: Nothing, yet☕ anything

Sendak | adult | occasional fronter | warrior and aesthete | he/himBlunt, hedonistic, unapologetic, and not given to (and not a fan of) introspection. Essentially, a simple man with simple needs for his life, though also one that enjoys his version of "the finer things".Likes: self-indulgence, self-improvement, sex, sparring, fried chickenMost often seen: eating, doing physical things, at BDSM eventsMusic: Has never actually listened to music of his own accord, and doesn't have any songs we strongly associate with him.☕ espresso

If nature is unjust, change nature!

root | mid-thirties | occasional fronter | AI enthusiast | she/itFun-loving recovering misanthrope, aspiring transhuman, singularitarian.

Hank | late fifties | secondary fronter | asshole with a heart of gold | he/himGrouchy wise-ass who's settled badly into middle age.

Wolf | adult | occasional fronter | gregarious bon vivant | he/himDescribed by several people as "like a young Brian Blessed" - he has a presence that fills the room.

"...though in all lands love is now mingled with grief,
it grows perhaps the greater."

Steve | thirtysomething | occasional fronter | artist and activist | he/himSomehow simultaneously a sweet cinnamon roll full of kindness, a world-weary cynic, and a "fite me" troll who runs on spite. Probably the most politically engaged among us, and has pushed us toward being more involved in activism.Likes: art, Tolkien, rambling in nature, motorcycles, dogs, debating.Most often seen: out in nature, in art museums, drawing, protesting.Music: Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd | Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - Elton John☕ black, sugar optional

So thank you, for taking a chance on me

John | fortysomething | secondary fronter | strong silent type | he/himHas been both long-term background maintenance and secondary fronter; most of the time, he's around a lot, but fairly quiet.

I've always been known to cross lines

Jesse | early twenties | secondary fronter | just a dude | he/himTypical late-nineties stoner kid grown up into a quieter but (sightly) wiser version of himself.

I know the sky is not the limit, because there are footprints on the Moon

Kai | age slider (16-22ish?) | occasional fronter | rambler & tinkerer | he/himAn explorer at heart, he tends to prefer quiet and solitude - which makes living in a system a bit tough for him.
