The Doctor (Ivan Morow) (Principal)

To the casual observer, he is an eccentric GP with a medical centre in the grimy part of downtown. In fact his interests in the supernatural match that of science, both of which have become a lifestyle more than a hobby or profession. On the side he works at Pensdale Asylum, more to study the human condition than help it. Here he treats Feng Leung, a dangerous individual who has discovered one of the Doctor's most powerful secrets, one which threatens his life and potentially many others…

Angela Somers (Supporting)

Kira and Madi's mother was a mighty and endearing individual in life and the love she had for her daughters has carried on past her untimely death.

Grandmother Leung (Featured)

Ren's sweet grandmother lives alone in her own house, partly because she likes the independence, mostly because she finds living in her son in law's warehouse unnerving. As such she is often frequented by her daughter, Ren's mother who helps care for her. A proficient cook, she spends her days of retirement on food in the kitchen for her family, and tai chi in the park for her health.

Abraham Somers (Supporting)

Following the death of his wife, Abraham spent all his energy on protecting his children. He retreated within himself, first taking leave from work, then never returning, then lost the will to go outside, to stand, to talk. Eventually he lost the will to do anything but watch TV on his couch, which he hasn't left now for years. Other than his daughters, none know of his true condition. The two of them are now his sole caretakers.

Taylor Johns (Supporting)

A likeable, borderline cool, borderline cute, motorbike enthusiast teen in Kira's maths class. Taylor tends to avoid conflict as well he can and as such appears unbreakable to most, though in his own experience, conflict would rather find him. Though he has an nonchalant interest in girls he is mildly aware of an increase in attention from Alice.
