Dana McAllen is a member of the urban exploration association that is currently investigating remnants of the worlds previous civilization. She initially made her debut in the Tunnelrunners side comic. She has been Ian's closest friend since early childhood, and is still his closest confidant.
Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
Julia Wells, significant other of Ian Caladharas. Julia co runs the Wells Hotel in Erech’s Clocktower District. For those people who have rpg’d in this world: The Wells Hotel is now known as Cytheron’s. Julia and Ian tied the knot in the City of Greyrest in the Crossing Territories.
At what point does operational security impede the ability to operate? Right at the beginning.
Security is *always* an impediment. You just hope it impedes your adversaries more than it impedes you.
And you don’t need to look at esoteric stuff to see that. A locked door keeps out unwanted guests, but you need to unlock it when you want to go through it. So you need to have the key. And so on.
If it isn’t inconvenient, it doesn’t increase security.

No, it’s not. It was said exactly the way I wanted it said…I say it that way personally a lot.
