Benny: The youngest of the crew at only 17 years old. Cursed, or blessed, with a baby face and curly blond hair, Benny always seemed to be able to cheer the guys up with his unusual strain of bad luck. More of a klutz than anything else, the boy could probably fall out of bed and break a toe.
Benny was the sort always to have a dream in his head and always a song on his lips. He whistled at the drop of a hat - sometimes to the aggravation of his friends; they could always tell when he was nervous.

Zen: The oldest of the crew at 21 years old, he's even older than Wyck. With short cropped, black hair and a Chinese tattoo for 'Zen' on the back of his neck, he was easily identified as being at least some-part Asian. Fancying himself as a Martial Artist and a practitioner of Zen and the art of Male Prostitution, he sometimes blacks out during the more regrettable moments of his profession and 'goes places' in his mind. Though never really tested, he was sometimes able to experience whole moments in time while away from what was happening to his body.

K-Mart: The boy was about as open as the store he chose as a name and he always had a blue-light special. With a light frame and almost bird-like features, "Kay" was the best pick-pocket anyone had ever known. He could turn a man's knob with the best of them and steal him of his watch, cred-cards and phone before he got his underwear up. The boy was a pro in many senses of the word. When he wasn't helping support them with fenced electronics, he was often tinkering around with this or that. He always had a gadget or a new tool to show off.

Gunner: Now this guy could drink. Rarely shaving with anything other than a pocket knife, he always attempted to keep himself 'uglied up' so no one would want to take a turn with him any more. Going for more of the long-haired viking look, Gunner was barely twenty and had dirty blond hair and hazel eyes. Not as young as Benny, he would often drink himself into oblivion when he'd hear the sound of church bells. Everyone knew that he had been the favorite altar boy of a local priest but no one mentioned anything. He was the muscle of the group; keeping everyone safe.
Gunner's most prized possession is an aluminum baseball bat that he carries with the same reverence as a Viking's bearded axe.

Igor: One of the most beautiful young guys Wyck ever met. Perfect hair, perfect teeth and perfect skin, but all of that was on the outside. To himself, Igor was the most ugly creature on the face of the earth. He was tall for his age, nearly 18 and had brown hair and blue eyes. Once his parents caught him and his boyfriend together, they kicked him out. Igor's older brother even went so far as to round up a bunch of his friends and hunt the boyfriend down with bats and clubs. Though his boyfriend's remains were later recovered, he was barely recognizable as anything other than a pile of meat and bloody clothes. Igor is the shy, quiet type who sometimes went on Dust to help his feelings of insecurity. Wyck was pulling him off of it and the two were starting to get closer when their Squat was hit back in Los Angeles.
