Several months before the start of our Series, Desi received a phone call from a gentleman who identified himself as Philip Glass. He explained that Desi was destined to do great things and make the world a better place to live. He offered to train Desi on how to realize her full potential as a force for Good. His pitch fit in perfectly with Desi's philosophy and self-image, so she accepted the offer, despite misgivings about Mr. Glass' insistence that their lessons be kept a secret.

Mr. Glass has arranged for Desi to receive private martial arts lessons from Michael Chen, an instructor at a local Tiger Schulmann's Karate, on Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays after school, Mr. Glass calls Desi from his home in Florida to instruct her over the phone about her role in fighting Evil. Desi has never met Mr. Glass in person.

About two weeks before the Series premiere, Mr. Glass' lessons began touching upon the the subject of "Evil incarnate," beings whose very existence was a manifestation of malevolence. Although he was somewhat ambiguous (deliberately so?) about the specifics of these beings, this was Desi's first hint that Mr. Glass was talking about a supernatural Evil and not just "people gone bad."

That was the last phone call Desi received from Mr. Glass. Michael Chen has mentioned that his arrangement with Mr. Glass has him receiving monthly payments for Desi's lessons, and so far Mr. Glass is paid up until the end of the following month. Michael has not heard from Mr. Glass since he received the last payment two weeks before the start of the Series, but that interval of silence is not unusual.

Desi is portrayed by Kirsten Dunst. Her player is Michael S. Miller.

Doug responds to AP Kovacs' accusations the same way he responds to everything else -- with anger. Doug is a very angry young man. His picture at right was taken during a rare non-angry moment. Probably while he was being cocky.

Doug plays guitar in a band whose name has not yet been revealed. He writes the lyrics for most, if not all, of their songs. Most of Doug's songs describe how angry he is -- at his father for being more interested in  hobnobbing with city officials than in raising his son, at the pointless demands that society places upon him, at the futility of life, at the cancellation of "Touched by an Angel"... Just about everything seems to anger Doug.

Doug is portrayed by Billie Joe Armstrong of the band Green Day. His player is Ethan Wallace.

The studio would like to point out that no animals were harmed during the creation of Doug' hairstyle. While it appears lifelike in most respects, Doug's coiffure is in reality animatronic.

Although JD has never been an initiated member of the Carmines, she has in the past earned money by spray-painting murals for them. She is never without at least one can of spray paint. Some people would call her work graffiti and vandalism, a (much) smaller number call it urban art. The murals are often memorials to fallen gang members -- of which there have been increasing numbers lately.

JD has been trying to divorce herself from the gang lifestyle. She's just made the acquaintance of Desi and Doug and is trying to develop a normal social life with them, but her old affiliations keep pulling her back to the Carmines. Right now, JD is caught between two worlds.

JD is portrayed by Gigi Edgley. Her player is Michele Mishko.

Since we only have a few players, any character who isn't mentioned above is played by the Director. In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Roleplaying Game, these characters are called Guest Stars. You can find a little information on some of the Guest Stars by clicking on their name the first time it appears in an Episode write-up.
