Hi Julie! I'm Sky, a complete newbie here. I think my first character, Toby Søren (this journal) would be great for a friend/neighbor/run-in type of line. He works in the crime lab as a firearms and explosives expert and he is... quite eccentric. He could be a bit too much since he's very high-energy and far more outgoing, but he means well. He also likely bikes to work everyday, so... yay bicycles. :D (Though he probably sports something more contemporary.)
My other character, Dr. Mathis (mathis_md) is probably more difficult connection to make. He's a medical examiner with the ability of power negation (that doesn't affect Theo of course) and tends to keep to himself. If anything, he goes to the diner now and then...
I've added you on AIM-- I'm SkyV00, and do feel free to message me anytime..
