Them: Cast and Crew

	The Crew
	Tito Marcas Tito is the Stage Manager and Tech Director of the Thespian House Theater. He's grouchy, sarcastic, and cynical. He thinks actors are all dumbasses, and he's probably right. He also runs lights when it's showtime. Tito, being short and slight, doesn't cut a particularly imposing figure, but he does have an impressive array of Spanish curse words. Recently he was the victim of an onstage accident, resulting in his temporary absence from the theater and more long-term loss of most of his hair. He now wears a hat to hide his baldness.
	Mikayla Calson Mikayla, also known as Kay, is the theater's resident technological genius. She can make anything work with only the help of a screwdriver and a few short circuits. She hates people and has no qualms about doing painful things to people who bother her. Kay has frizzy red hair, although you can't tell what color it is in the comic, and wears a pair of half-moon spectacles.
	Gabe Green Gabe is an egotistical, flirtatious bastard. While skilled as a sound board operator, he hates being told to do his job, and prefers to goof off and hang out with beautiful women. Gabe has wavy blond hair that he's extremely vain of and an ego the size of Lake Michigan. Gabe and Kay hate each other, but would rather work together than with actors.
	Rich Gurney Rich, despite his muscular, intimidating exterior, is truly a gentle giant. He enjoys cute things and making people happy, and can be extremely naive at times. However, if anyone threatens 'his' techies, Rich can turn into a berserker. Rich wears a mustache and shaves his head, and also prefers to go barefoot even in the hazardous-material-filled scene shop.
	Tobias Flynn Toby used to be an actor before he turned to the "dark side" and became the theater's costume manager. For the most part, his transition has been smooth; however, before he became a techie he had trouble with the other actors because of his low self confidence and less than stellar acting talent. That all changed, though, when Gregory Stanton, actor and would-be fiancee of Mikayla, knocked him out and shipped him off to Tiajuana in order to steal his part. Now Toby's back and he's done taking shit from everybody. Watch out, folks, this boy's in business.
	Gwyneth Short Usually called Gwyn or Gwynnie, this director has real talent for telling people what to do and making things look right. She trusts her tech crew to deliver her demands, and she listens when they tell her that something is impossible. She has a sarcastic view towards her own actors, and doesn't mind when the techies make fun of them (or her). In short (hahahaha pun), she's the best director any techie could ever want.
	The Miscellanies
	Sethmire Quickhoof Seth is a satyr, a trickster sprite from another dimension. He was caught playing a prank on the faerie queen and subsequently sentenced to death, but escaped through a portal into Thespian House Theater, where he was magically enslaved by Gwyn by accident. Now he hangs around, causes trouble, makes fun of the actors, and occasionally helps the techies out--if he feels like it.
	The Sentient Sound Board Boardy, as Gabe calls this fun little piece of technology, was granted sentience by Mikayla. He now has conscious thought, but is incapable of pushing his own buttons, which is why he requires Gabe's assistance. Boardy has a devious mind, and utter loyalty to his creator, Mikayla. However, he and Gabe have achieved a working relationship, although occasionally Boardy finds himself playing the role of Gabe's 'conscience'. Boardy also has access to the internet, and enjoys perusing online dictionaries in his free time, hence his large vocabulary. Hey, everybody's gotta have a hobby, right?
	The Artificial Intelligence of Pure Evil The AIPE is another of Mikayla's creations, whose long and colorful history goes back almost as far as Boardy's. Given briefly to Tito, AIPE was sent as a prank to Mikayla's mother. Tossed out, abandoned, found again, and sold on Ebay as 'alien technology' to a technician at Area 51, AIPE reinitiated contact with the theater to ask for help getting out of Area 51. After Seth rescued him, he dropped AIPE off in South America, where the little box of evil is currently ruling Chile with an iron fist.
	Larry Larry is the resident theater ghost. With a cheerful disposition on top of his chronic fear of attention, Larry is definitely not the kind of guy you'd expect to find haunting anything, but he gets along quite well with the other Miscellanies.
	Katie It's hard to say what Katie is, exactly--baby Kraken, giant squid, miniature benevolent (ish) Elder God--but at the very least we know she is good at both a) poker and b) eating people. Only Seth seems to be able to understand her.
	Menefer ("Sparky") Menefer's presence in the theater resulted from a magical accident in which Mikayla interrupted Seth just as he was renewing the wards that keep all the bad magic out of the theater. As he is now unable to return to his home dimension, he has since been adopted by Rich as the theater's latest "cute fluffy thing" and renamed Sparky. He's a little bitter about the whole situation.
	The Actors
Not Pictured	The Actors The various actors required to perform the shows that the aforementioned folks tech change from play to play, and therefore don't get individual pictures. Some of them will leave after the shows never to return, some will come back again, and some will turn out to be hired by extradimensional beings to reclaim certain escaped prisoners. Some are very stupid, and some are very intelligent. There are only two things that you can count on when it comes to actors: firstly, that they always have ulterior motives, and secondly, that none of them should ever be trusted with anything even remotely resembling a power tool. Actors who have made/may make a comeback include Gregory Stanton, Mark Campbell, and Mohawkie.
