Join Charlotte in her task and missions involving fairy tale theme villains, heros, and magic. Pairing: Spoilers so it'll be under 'romance'.

1. Prologue

Welcome to my Dark Parable's fanfiction. I've played these games for a LONG time and I love them every-time I play. I do hope you enjoy. Now I will give you one thing about this fanfic. All the co-workers you see, they won't really help my OC along her trails, but I will mention them in this chapter so you know what kind of detective work she does, for those that don't really know the dark parables games. I saw them and I though they will be perfect for co-workers for this fairy-tail detective. First off, in this chapter it's totally in Charlotte's (My OC) POV

Prologue

A detective's work in never done. To some, their career never started, to other's it never ends. When there's a mystery that involves weird cases, you don't call CSI, NCIS, SVU, or even Ghostbusters. No, for cases not for the norm, you call for the only department called Dark Parables. Yeah it sounds weird but blame the founder, my uncle, for the name. Inside Dark Parables, there are 2 factions, for the time being. One side is Blue Tea, and the other side is called Eipix. Why weird names? Again cause he's a weird guy. The department's crest is not an eagle, a star, or a horseshoe. It's actually 2 ancient keys in a cross formation. Mostly cause the staff works with unusual cases. Now I bet you're wonder what I mean when I say 'unusual cases'. Well to put it simply, we're solving fairy-tale cases. Yes you heard me right: fairytale cases. And this department is very secretive much like what you read in Hellboy or SHEILD, though not the later. The place is built in a place in honor of a famous author. I'll give you a riddle: This man made one of the most famous mystery book ever made. His character we've seen in both animal and human and he does one illegal drug what when you burn the flower, it stinks like hell. Any guesses? Nothing? All right I'll tell you. The department is in Edinburgh. The capital city of Scotland, located in Lothian on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. It is the second most populous city in Scotland and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom and the birthplace of Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, the Scottish writer and physician, most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes. But this land has magical properties. Some say a blessing others say a curse. What happens is, depending on your character and deeds/actions; you become a famous fictional or non-fiction character in our world's history. Oh! You must forgive me for I forgotten to tell you my name. My name is Charlotte Boddy. I lived with my parents, Danny & Martha, a in the land as the rest of the townspeople but unlike them, my family isn't affected by the magical properties. Many scientists have tested our blood but the results would always be inconclusive. To this day I have no idea why all my friends growing up change but not me. Some were jealous, others were happy. But I think I know why. I think my family has already been affected. You see my grandfather, Wilson, has a magical gift that can see into the past, my father and uncle, his sons, has the power to levitate things like Professor X. Grandma, before she died used to cause storms, though sometimes by accident, and for mom, when she married into the family, she gained the power to grow claws from her finger-nails. As for me, well nothing like my parents but I do get weird visions sometimes and I would see some sparks when it leads me to broken items and I would fix them. I wanted to tell my grandpa about them, but he disappeared years ago. I also have a sister, Renee. She doesn't have special powers yet, but every now and then, she would hmm a tone that neither her nor me heard before. She's been more of a rebel and with my family's blessing; she joined a traveling gypsy camp, and no the 'freaks' there were not mistreated at all. Renee made sure of it. Now before I start my story on how I become a great detective, let me tell you about the staff and my friends for it was thanks to them, I know everything.

Uncle Boddy: My uncle, Mr. Boddy, and yes he is named after the guy from Clue, is the successor of the founder of Dark Parables. He inherited the business cause no one, in the staff, can take the position and he was the only one that can match the same skills as the founder. He somewhat changed into Mr. Boddy after he faked his own death in order for the police to get 6 different people that the family has been black-mailing in order for the police to catch their illegal actions. In order: Professor Plum, a psychiatrist has been arrested for sleeping with one of his patients and who lost his medical license because he had an affair with a same married female patient. Mrs. Peacock is a wife of a senator who has accepted brides to deliver her husband's votes including some by foreign powers. Mrs. White is an alleged black widow that was drawn in to avoid a scandal regarding the mysterious death of her nuclear physicist husband. She was previously married to an illusionist, who also disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Turns out she killed both of her husbands, including the mistress of her first husband, and actually have a weird collection from them. Let's just say, in the afterlife, they'll be labeled as girls from now on. Miss Scarlet, and no not the same one from Gone with the Wind, was a madam who operates an illegal brothel and escort service. One of her employers was the same mistress that seduces Mrs. White's first husband and one of her book-keepers was a dirty-cop. Colonel Mustard at first, to have been blackmailed for scandalous pictures with one of Miss Scarlet's employees, but it is later revealed that he was a war profiteer who made his money from selling stolen radio components on the black market. He now works at the Pentagon, working on a private fusion bomb, which explains why he 6 men near the triangle died. Yeah it was a map problem but it was mostly the radios. As for Mr. Green, he was blackmailed but mostly for a minor thing and luckily he wasn't arrested until he downloaded some illegal porn in his workplace at the State Department. After he got the 6, he became the head of the department and no one has a grudge on him for getting the position.

Now for the towns-people and co-workers.

Alexandra: Jessica and Ichabod's mother and wife of Hershel, Countess Alexandra Rockford. A wonderful mother to her children and the villagers and always willing to offer sagely advice and keep things bright. She was and still a great inspiration to Hershel when the two met working on an old run down farm, but with hard work together, they built the first mechanical man and their industry flourished from there. Behind every great man, is a greater woman. She has yet to be affected by the magical spells but her children, mostly her son, has already transformed. In the department, she works as secretary while her husband is the Count of the Eipix' department. Yeah some say it's wrong for a husband and wife to work as a boss and secretary, but unlike their work in their business, which is Rockford Robotics, famous for robotic limbs that would make Winry cry. Speaking of which…

Count Hershel: Meet Count Hershel Rockford, father of Jessica and Ichabod Rockford, as well as founder and president of the Rockford Robotics company. His innovations have singlehandedly brought forward the upcoming industrial revolution, with his invention of steam power humanoids. But when he's not managing his company, he works for Dark Parables as the Count of the Eipix branch. He's all about business and a very serious and strict man, especially when it comes to grooming his son to take over the company. However, he has a very soft side with his daughter, unable to resist her adorableness and tends to spoil her, he quite simply cannot be angry or serious when she is in the same room, but the instant she leaves, papa bear becomes grizzly bear in an instant. Same as his wife he hasn't changed into a character like his children but he's aiming for a Bear-like character cause of his nickname. He's hoping for something like Winnie the Pooh and not Freddy Fazbear. Now for his kids…

Ichabod: He's Jessica's older brother and first successor to the Rockford family fortune. Unlike his sister, Ichabod is quite a serious individual. Ever the utmost gentleman, and well sought after by the ladies, however he always says he has no time for them, devoted almost entirely to his company and being protective over his sister, Jessica. He now works under his father, after he went to Sleepy Hallow in order to solve mysteries there. What started as pranks and scares turned into 3 murders. At first Ichabod thought that the ghost wasn't real, cause he caught the prankster Brom Bones, the same man who tried to scare Ichabod away from Katrina, a gold-digging witch, but it wasn't until the corrupted senators of the Sleepy Hallow were suddenly being killed off that he thought otherwise. Turns out that Brom Bones found the skull of the Hessian and got the idea of dressing up as the headless horseman for laughs. Ichabod manage to find it and after he gave the Hessian a proper grave and turned to cross the bridge, to go home, when he saw the real ghost blocking the path. But unlike the legend, he didn't attack him. Instead the ghost moved out of the way so he can cross. After he cross the bridge he head an explosion and saw pieces of a pumpkin everywhere. It wasn't until he went home he found out the reason why. Rumors begin to spread that Ichabod is still alive, married a wealthy widow in a distant county with children who all look like him. However, the people of Sleepy Hollow insist that he was "spirited away" by the Headless Horseman. Ichabod is the only one that knows the truth. After that case, the magic transformed him into Ichabod Crane from the story. After that case he works under his father in the Eipix department working under ghost stories.

Jessica: Introducing, Countess Jessica Rockford. Born into a wealthy family, and 2nd heiress in line to its fortune, Jessica has lived a fairly sheltered but blessed lifestyle. Jessica is a very bubbly individual, happy go lucky as it were, which is either infectious to those around her or nerve grinding. Unlike her brother the magic has yet to affect her but she is a master at puzzles. Since she's technically as princess she doesn't have an occupation she does have one in Dark Parables. She and her brother are partners on cases since he's good as finding objects; she's good when it comes to puzzles. You simply can't have one without the other. She started working there when her boyfriend, at the time, was being framed for murder. In order to clear his name, she worked with her brother. In a nutshell, her boyfriend thought she was cheating him when during one of her singing shows. When he saw the photos and neglect to realize they were faked, he went home distraught. The next day, a man, the same one what was with Jessica during 'the act' was killed and all the evidence pointed to her boyfriend, Roger. In order to protect him, and help the police, Jessica kidnapped Roger and it turns out it was a judge, and his mobsters of weasels that killed the victim in order to have his property and with Roger in jail, and if he would've gotten the death penalty, he would've gotten his estate as well and turned it into a factory. If it weren't for Jessica, she would've lost her man. Well even though the relationship didn't last long between Roger and Jessica, they remained great friends for life. And thanks to those actions she works in Dark Parables and is one step closer for her magical transformation, though people already think she is already affected since she has the character's boobs. Thank god there's bras to support them.

Now for the head of the Blue Tea branch.

Edger: Edgar Caine. Your money's safe and sound in his establishment, for he is known far and wide as the bullet proof Banker, and I mean that literally. He's so muscular that bullets just bounce off him! He doesn't even have to hire security guards; he defends the bank by himself! Though he's a banker during 'the day' he's the head of the Blue Tea branch of Dark Parables. He got the job when he and his daughter, Poe, solved murder's and mysteries from old case files. The shocker is, they were poems and they were in the victim's point of view. With his mussel mass and his daughter's brain, they manage to solve the cold cases and transformed into their characters. His character is Jimmy McMillan and yes he's the guy that said, 'Rest is too damn high' and believe it or not that's the party name. McMillan is best known as the founder of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party, a New York-based political party. McMillan has run for office at least six times since 1993, most notably in the 2010 gubernatorial election. He declared in December 2010 that he would run in the 2012 U.S. presidential election as a Republican. He did not appear on the ballot in any state and suspended his campaign to return to the Rent Is Too Damn High Party and run for Mayor of New York City in the 2013 election. He attempted to run for Governor again in the 2014 election but he did not make the ballot. To my surprise, Edgar wasn't too upset that he didn't make it but was proud when Obama won.

Poe: Meet Poe, the librarian, well not really. She's just a big book lover that runs the library because the actual owner and manager of it is always asleep on the job and hasn't budged. She's a very quiet person, but her presence is always felt as she nears. Don't be noisy around her, or she'll give you a creepy stare. She is the adopted daughter of Edgar Caine and she works as the filer in the Blue Tea branch. She used to live in an orphanage and during her stay she would spend time reading books that were provided. When she and the rest of the kids went on a fieldtrip to a local bank, she saw Caine fighting with one of his workers about a mortgage deal. While they were fighting, Poe read threw them and out of the blue told them how to solved the problem without the costumer paying a fee. When Caine looked at the files and listened to the girl, he agreed and fired the worker. It wasn't until the next day; he adopted her that she now has a home. Now after the casing involving the poems of the victims, she changed into a female version of Edger Allen Poe. During her time in Dark Parables on the Blue Tea branch, she works as a filer and part time working on cold cases. Though she is a loner, she is very smart and wouldn't mind thinking outside of the box in order to work with someone on a case. She does work for Eipix when it comes to cold cases but the filing went down to Jessica on cases Poe is unfamiliar with.

Now for the workers in both branches. Some work with either Blue Tea or Eipix, some work in both depending on the assignment from the top.

Hercule: Hercule Bulldog, a mysterious yet legendary knight. Having mastered both the sword, and earth and ice magic, he has felled many a beast with his excellent skills in battle. This little guy is works for both Eipix and Blue Tea as head of Security. Yes we do have a police station but they have the option to work at either or, but this guy is the only one that works in both Eipix and Blue Tea branches. In the beginning, it was indeed a little person and growing up he would watch fantasy movies that involve knights such as Hobbit, Lord of the Ring, King Arthur, and also he watches fantasy anime, mostly Record of Lodoss War, Legend of Crystania, and Rune Soldier. I asked him has he ever seen Game of Thrones and he told me, 'I tried to get into it, but it's not easy following 5 stories lines. But I will enjoy a bag guy get killed' and man did he celebrate when the Purple Wedding happened. Now he went to dojos, the army, anywhere he could to learn how to fight. And while the army couldn't take him, some of the dojos did. He learned everything he could but then he went to a renaissance fair and they were hiring knights for the fair. Well he entered and after he actually fought a dragon is when the magic happened and rewarded him to the knight we all know.

Teresa: Meet St. Teresa Poirot, a specters canonized for choosing the keep her spirit in the living world in order to keep watch over her church and help those that seek guidance or to confess their sins to and find forgiveness. Capable of kindness to the good/weak, a force to be reckoned with, and fear to the wicked. She is also a badass fighter when pissed off. She didn't turned into her character until after she went to another village and manage to help the people that were in the post-war era. How she is working in Dark Parables is actually quite simple. You see as she was helping the villagers, she wondered on who was responsible for the war. She asked the surviving solders, the towns-people, even the politicians that haven't fled. Turns out this whole thing started as a prank. 2 little girls wanted to 'experiment' and recreate the witch trails. Well it backfired when it arise a longtime family fight in the town and started a war. When Teresa brought the 2 to the survivors they were trailed and sentence to 500-life sentence: point five for every casualty. When she returned home, the magic of the land felt her kindness and her good deeds and rewarded her. First they took her to a convent and once she became a nun, the magic changed her into St. Teresa Poirot, based off of 5 nuns: Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Theresa of Lisieux, Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Saint Teresa of the Andes, and Saint Teresa Margaret of the Sacred Heart. She came to Dark Parables when the priest of the church asked her to work there so she can be better rounded of the world around her as well as the human mind. She made no objection.

Irene: Meet Irene, the magic shop owner. The player can purchase magic circles and other spell based things from her. She's also got a thing for dolls, and harbors quite the collection that pretty much act as the wallpaper in her store. She was once an apprentice of Houdini, but unlike his magic, her magic is more paranormal the illusions. She didn't know about her gift until she once went to a haunted house, when she was a rookie in Dark Parables. In the house there were 4 objects that caught her attention: an old baby bed, a piece of the Titanic, an old doll, and a sword handle. As procedure, she spends 3 nights in that house investigating wondering where the activity is coming from. She used ghost-busters equipment the whole time and during the day when she would go over them. Turns out it wasn't the 4 objects after all. It was actually a time capsule hidden in the attic and inside was actually a very old wind-up toy. When she touched it, she saw a little boy looking at her. He didn't look scary but he looked stuck. When the vision went away, she told the homeowners about what she found and saw. Turns out the toy belonged to the previous owner of the house. Irene tracked them down and when the family opened the capsule, the activity ended. Now she's like the Haunted Collector. She would go from house to house to solve mysteries that involve ghost. When she returned him and opened her shop, the magic transformed her into who she is now.

Agatha: Meet Agatha Tracy, a sadistic witch and sister of Irene. Her specialty in the magical department lies in black magic and conjuring thorny vines. When it comes to paranormal cases, she's more of a guilt trip witch then an actual witch. What she does in the interrogation rooms is that she let the souls of the victims posses her and it would scar the crooks so much, that the room had to be clean a few times and had to add air freshening when it's over. In the beginning, Agatha was so sick and tried of crook getting away with crime after crime, that she got a degree in criminal science, but then there was a case that nearly broke her. It was similar to Casey Anthony and just like her, the mom got away with murder even though the evidence was 100% foolproof. She got so depress that she got drunk at the bar and it was Houdini that took her room to sleep it off. It wasn't until the mom was arrested again, that the magic granted her this gift. The next morning she talked to the mother and then she blacked out. When she woke up she saw the mother on the floor crying confessing to the crimes she committed. That's when she realized her gift. But in order to train herself she asked for the help of both her sister and her mentor. After about 5 years, she has complete control.

Houdini: Everyone knows of the Great Houdini. Some magicians are famous for card tricks, rabbits, birds, and such. But Houdini is known as a great escape artist. To name a few there was a Mirror challenge, Milk can escape, Chinese water torture cell, Suspended straitjacket escape, and Overboard box escape. Though sadly one of his tricks caused his death. Well even after his death there were many fans of his work. One fan in particularly wanted to be like him. Not a mirror image but at least have his skills. Well one day his skills were put to the test. When he was 18 years old, some college frat party boys kidnapped him. They were going to dump him in a barrow and dump him into the sea. Of course they were too stupid at the time to realize that they were attempting murder. Well after they sealed him up and dumped, they drove off. Houdini of course panicked but then he thought about his hero and how he was calm during his tricks. After sometime to think, he managed to break his binds and tipped the barrow up so he can kick the lid and look outside. To his lucky stars, a boat was passing by and saw Houdini. After he rescued him, he asked him what happened and how he got out. That's when Houdini told him everything and after he identify the idiots, he changed into the real Houdini thanks to the land's magic. A few years later he noticed that there's another kid that had the same magic obsession as his. He meets Irene and at first the 2 grew as friends, but when they tried to have a relationship, it didn't work out so much. But they agreed that Irene could be his student and Houdini to be her master. After both were accepted into Dark Parables, they work on paranormal cases if they're assigned to.

Riki: Riki is one of the few females that have a PhD as a young as 16. Though the magic as yet to affect her, she's very smart for her age, especially since she's a child protégée. She gets her inspiration from a character from a character from a TV show called 'Bones' and her name is actually Bones. She got the same degree as her, work in a museum like her, and even have an office romance, though unlike the character, it didn't result in marriage. She actually traveled with Teresa to the same village that was going through post-war. Though she didn't solve the case of how the war started, she manages to save so many lives without fallowing the book like Dr. Blackjack and House. It wasn't until a patient need a blood transplant is when she found a pleasant surprise. Turns out she one of the patients was actually her 1 cousin thrice removed. After she saved him, and brought him home, she was called a miracle worker. She works as Dark Parables because she wanted to heal the workers and if needed, she can accompany one and helps with case and heals the innocent with her medical genius.

Francis: Though she works part time as a storeowner, she job is actually the same as Angela's from 'Bones'. Well she might not have the same tech as hers but she does have a magic power that can make an image of a person and with a move of a hand, can change the picture's design. Hey this way is cheaper then spending money on a giant machine and risk getting a virus like on the show. The land gave her this power since she has a photographic memory and it was thanks to her, that a case with a terrorist was caught before he leveled the city. To make long story short, this idiot wanted to recreate the Boston bombing, but unlike the 2 dudes, this man was unlucky enough to drop his blueprints of the bomb. Francis manages to find it and not only was it a blueprint, but attached to it was a list of what the terrorist was going to do. Before the big explosion, Francis tracked him down and had to make a commotion to make sure no one else was hurt. Once she was alone, she manages to disable the bomb and show the cops the plans. And it was thanks to her that she could identify the terrorist after she sketched his face. It took the cops less then 3 hours to find him and arrest him before he bombed himself. After the arrest she was immediately hired at Dark Parables and thanks to the land, she got her powers. Yeah she didn't changed physically, but in cases like her, there's no need. But if you need to be specific, she went from a redhead to a blond.

Allison: Allison the engineer. She works for the Rockford Robots Company and family as an engineer and is also Englebert's Niece. She works under the Rockford Company after she saw a car off on the road during a rainy day. Turns out the car belonged to the Countess. After she fixed it, she worked with the company and now makes robotic limbs. She is also the niece of the head policeman Englebert. How she worked with the Dark Parables is actually quite be accident. You see she was asleep in the Count's car in the back seat when he took off to Dark Parables. Allison woke up and saw the place. Of course she was in awe and went inside. She manages to find her bosses' office and heard about an unusual case about a death car. Well since no one in the office wanted to take it, Allison went rogue and took the case. In a nutshell, there was a driver name Mike who has a car that goes as fast as he can will it, the only problem is that his seat only the safest and he used this advantage to kill of unexpected young ladies. Well Allison manage to tracked down and the car and has help of 2 other girls. They got into another car and tracked down the death car. After they found Mike the women rear-end him at speed. Allison gets out and beats him with a pipe; he drives away, pleading with them, and they pursue. Mike crashes and the women beat him mercilessly. While the 2 girls were beating him, Allison expects the car and found out, it was actually the same car from the real Bonnie & Clyde. He only stole it and fixed it to a Chevrolet Chevy II / Nova a mirror image to a famous movie 'Death Proof'. Well after she dismantles the car, she brought Mike and the car to the police and was rewarded…but not after her uncle and he boss scolded her. She was almost fired until Mr. Boddy came to her and offers her a job as Dark Parable's machinist. Well she agreed and is now being paid double at both jobs. As for magic, she changed into what she is today and how has skin that won't break so she's now death proof

Engleburt: Engleburt Spade is the second in command in the police department in Dark Parables and lead investigator. He's Allison's uncle and his wife's name is Trixie. He became into what he is today when he and another colleague name Heather were at a stake out when they were just lieutenants. Their mission was to stop a drug don similar to Henry Hill from 'Goodfellas'. But unlike 'Goodfellas' they had to be a don to catch a don. You see he and Heather were undercover cops working with Henry, Jimmy, and Tommy for a number of years, close to 5 here and there, and it wasn't until 2 of them were arrested for assault that Engleburt and Heather started to work for the 3. They kept tracked of who was doing what, who was killing who, who was using who, and who was using what. To summarize, the 3 plus a couple of other were planning to do the biggest heist in world's history. Not as big as the real one at JFK, but similar to it. Anyway after $6 million were stolen, the 2 made extra sure to document everything that has been bought, used, and traded. Well one by one, by Jimmy's hand the accomplices were being wacked off. So the 2 made sure the cops were documenting the phones from all 3…well 2 since Jimmy killed of Tommy. Then their focus went into Henry since he became a deal and got connections to another town in Europe with Jimmy's help. Well after scaring him with narks, the 2 arrested Henry and thanks to him, took down the mafia and the dealers. The only damage from the act was that Engleburt lost an eye. As a reward, they were given a high position at Dark Parables, but Engleburt gave it to Heather seeing as she deserves it more then him since he noticed that during his undercover, he had to remind himself who he is and what his mission was. Now that he lost his eye, he won't have that problem any more. When the 2 returned home, they transformed into their current state. Engleburt is now a 1930s version of Lt. Horatio Caine from CSI: Miami and even have the same attitude.

Heather: Heather Gaisford, now Engleburt's superior as chief of the police section of Dark Parables. She worked with Engleburt in the undercover investigation of the 3 schnooks: Henry, Tommy, and Jimmy. Her back-story and how she arrested them is the same as Engleburt's. To summarize, the 3 plus a couple of other were planning to do the biggest heist in world's history. Not as big as the real one at JFK, but similar to it. Anyway after $6 million were stolen, the 2 made extra sure to document everything that has been bought, used, and traded. Well one by one, by Jimmy's hand the accomplices were being wacked off. So the 2 made sure the cops were documenting the phones from all 3…well 2 since Jimmy killed of Tommy. Then their focus went into Henry since he became a deal and got connections to another town in Europe with Jimmy's help. Well after scaring him with narks, the 2 arrested Henry and thanks to him, took down the mafia and the dealers. Though she wasn't wounded, when she saw that Engleburt was, she wasted no time in fighting the crooks and made sure they were put away. For they're reward, they were giving a high position at Dark Parables. She wanted to give it to Engleburt but he spoke first and gave it to her. She asked why and he answered, 'cause my mind was weaker then yours. I need some more experience. But you have it all and you deserve it.' After she agreed to the position she changed into a younger version of Catherine Willows from CSI. The only difference is that she doesn't have a daughter yet, now a past that involves her father being a 'don' and she and her mother being dancers.

Trixie: Meet Trixie Spade, and yes, your eyes do not lie; all of her limbs are prosthetic. She lost them to meningitis, but was able to get prosthetic ones thanks to her husband convincing his boss to give her some. She meet her husband when she worked for Hershel as his personal chief and they meet before Engleburt worked with Heather as a security guard for the company. Even though it was against the rules for co-workers to date, it was all right under Hershel's permission. The 2 engaged after 7 months and got married a year later and luckily for them, Hershel paid for the wedding. After the 2 were married, they soon had a son named Gideon who later became the leader of a police group along with 4 others. They named in Gideon after a prince from a Russian fairy-tail about a prince and a magic swan that brought his long lost father to a magical island. They also named after him because they knew the boy would be kind, just, and brave. After the 'Goodfellas' incident and Engleburt getting a promotion and a new job, she is now a housewife with robot arms though every now and then, she became the Dark Parable's cook when cases gets heated. The magic of the land didn't change her, but it made her a better person after she lost her limbs from meningitis. But as a reward for being a wonder mother and faithful wife, the land changed her into a cyborg. But the only catch is, she's not immortal. No she has a lifespan that is the same as her husband. Since he's 11 years older then her, whatever age he dies will be the same to her. They believe that the reason for it is that the 2 were so in love; one cannot live without the other.

The Justice Force: Yes you heard me right. We have a Power Rangers team in Dark Parables. Before I give you their names, let me tell you how they came to be. The 5 were the underdogs of the police force. They were always brushed aside, picked on, and would get the blunt of the work. It wasn't until there was an earthquake near the home base is when they really shine. One was the leader, one was the brain, one is a joker, another is a voice of reason, and the last one is the energetic one. Combined they manage to get the survivors out and made sure they were alive and kept their spirits up. After that act the magic transformed them into Power Rangers: Justice Force. Only difference is that there's no giant monsters like the TV show. After the land promoted them, they now work at Dark Parables as one of the police crews working under Engleburt and Heather. And now for their names: Justice Red, Gideon Spade: son of Engleburt who greatly looks up to his father and seeks to followed in his footsteps. Justice Blue, Adrian Banks: The brains, always logical on a Spock level and technologically savvy. Justice Black, Dirk Lestrade: The joker, quick to make a snappy one liner and poke fun at any situation. Justice Pink. Ellery Shayne: The voice of reason whose keeps the group working cohesively can be a little obsessive compulsive. And finally Justice Yellow, Cordelia Monk: The energetic one, always getting the team pumped no matter the obstacle. And now with the magic, their children and children's children will pass down the Justice Force magic and will be the next gen for Dark Parables.

Thaddeus: Meet Thaddeus Badminton, whom Engleburt has quite the grudge with. Just how are these two connected...? Well I have a theory: He's actually Engleburt's long lost twin brother. What happened was when the twins were born, they were prom-night babies and while Engleburt was dropped off at a rich house, Thaddeus was dropped of at a con's house. Sad I know. But how these 2 meet is actually quite happy if you can believe it. They actually went to the same school growing up, so in a way they know each other. But it wasn't until they hit college is when they found out the truth. Together they found their birth mother and while one was sympathetic, Thaddeus wasn't. He alone manage to track down his birthfather and turns out he was just one of her flings. Once the 2 meet up again after they confronted their mother, that's when things went to a dark turn. One went to become a policeman and while the other became a white-collar villain. The biggest twist is that it seems like Engleburt always chases him when he commits a crime. But things were put into a test when Engleburt got hurt during the Goodfellas stake out. He went to the police, turned himself in, and helped them take down the rest of the mafia. After that deed the land changed him but instead of a twin version of his brother, it was more of an evil twin brother with the same injury as Engleburt's. When Dark Parables asked him to join, to be the undercover dude, he accepted but DP took extra precautions, as in he is the only guy so far to be like one of the members of the Suicide Squad. Yes you heard me right. He has nanorobotics in his body so if he ever betrays his co-workers he dies. As long as he's with his brother, he wouldn't mind. Of course when he visits his brother, he has an ankle-bracelet on him.

Travis: He's loud, he's a delinquent, he doesn't like being called short or cute or anything like that and even tattooed anger marks on his forehead and hands to be more badass and intimidating. Yet despite all that he has the most adorable crush on Allison, not that he'll let you know that, and if you find out, he'll quickly beat the memory out of your head. Though he's one of the youngest of the bunch, he's smarter then you think. He's the Dark Parable's paperboy meaning when there's a case solved, he welcome to put it on the paper and get's paid 10x his salary to spread the news. Of course when he gets the money he has a hard time hiding it since his mother barrows some to gamble after a stressful day. But it wasn't all bad since she pays it back. As for his temper…well let's just say if he doesn't control it, he has clothes that can fit his body if he ever turns in a certain turtle with a similar temper. Though he's not very good when it comes to being a detective, he is good on getting a good story or get nice photos for his colleagues is needed. Allison knows that he has a crush on her, and she couldn't help but smile at his cuteness. But she knows when the time is right, she will let him down gently…and hopefully won't get her bead bashed in.

Blanchetta: Meet Blanchetta Trent, yes, Travis Trent's mother. You can see the family resemblance huh? Just as her son is, she's bad tempered, foul mouthed and prone to violence, however all that changes in a heartbeat the moment she downs some booze. She turns into a cheerful barrel full of laughs and overly affectionate person that is until she sobers up... then everyone in her bar has hell to pay as well as there tabs. She works with Dark Parables when it comes to secret meetings in her bar. When it comes to a special case. Hell it was thanks to get that Heather and Engleburt got the locations of some of the connections for his Goodfellas case. After that she works with Dark Parables with her sting bar. But when the meetings happened, she made sure her son isn't around since during one case her barmaid got shot in the foot during a drunken fight. Though the magic has yet to affect her, the city is well and ready to whatever happens to her…they they're going to expect a very pissed off Chimera or something.

Green Fairy: Meet one of the many green fairies you'll find waiting the tables at Bars and clubs. They provide sweet service. She's one of Blanchetta's greatest bartenders and the greatest forensic scientist in Great Parables. Her teacher is actually Madame Satine, a former dancer. The reason why her appearance doesn't match her brain is because she was a child protégée and her parents were very strict that she had no time for play. It wasn't until she graduated collage at age 18 that she decided to get out of the house and live her own life. That's when she meets Blanchetta. She took her in, got her a proper housing, food, clothes, and education depending on her career. It wasn't until Travis was born, her inner child came out. She would volunteer to babysit and in the middle of the night is when the magic happened and she turned into a fairy and not a tiny one either. In short, she grew wings and turned green. After being under Madame Satine's wing for a long time, she was hired at Dark Parables as a forensic scientist and she doesn't regret her decision as long as she doesn't need to wear cha-cha heals.

Madame Satine: A former show girl turned manager after a accident left her unable to perform but is still one of the bombshells of the Black Market. Cold, cynical and aloof, she's not easy to approach, let alone hold conversation with. At least that's her cover story. In the beginning she was known as an ugly duckling. Zits, braces, a bit overweight, glasses, nearly everything in high school standards when it comes to ugly. She thought the magic would make her pretty, but it wasn't until she hit 18 that she had to do the change herself. After about 4 years close to 5, she manage to look like the bombshell we see now, but still no magic to reward her. It wasn't until she her heard her friend, Blanchetta, started to use her bar for stings that she decided to do the same. So she went to Heather and came up with a plan to do the same but under a different atmosphere. Instead of a bar, it was a stripper joint, and the kicker is, all the female and male dancers are trained cops. After catching one of the biggest crooks ever is when the magic happened. Now she has the body of Marilyn Monroe but has the IQ of 160. So in some way this ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan and is no longer ashamed for what she looks like anymore. She even told me, 'if the magic didn't bless me with this body, I would be happy the way I am. I just wished I realized that sooner'. But she doesn't mind giving me make-up tips every once in a while.

Bonnie + Clyde: Now unlike the real crime-couple, these 2 are more like brats stuck in 20-year-old bodies. They're showgirls but before the transformation, they were actually drag queens. Yes, they were once women trapped in men bodies. How they meet is that they didn't know how to express themselves since their parents were too conservative when it comes to life rules. It wasn't until Clyde meet Bonnie is when they found their calling and went to Madame Satine to work for her in the sting stripper house. After taking down a big boss is when the magic happened and freed these 2 and made them women. After that they work at Dark Parables as the only taboo couple. I say taboo because they're not good together but they're worst apart. They can't live without one another yet it's killing them. To this day we have no idea how to help them on the relationship but then again just like the original maybe it was meant to be. I just hope they won't go through a gruesome ending like the real 2. But one can only dream. Oh and no they're not part of the 'Suicide Squad', but they are under probation until further notice.

Mildrid: She's a female Monochrome, which have a few differences to Male Monochromes: They're white, have different shaped horns, fluffy wool around their wrists and ankles, and instead of making rain, they can instead make clear skies using the same method. Though she owns a pet shop, she is also works at Dark Parables in an animal rehab facility. Every now and then an animal would come when a detective comes home and would bring a mystical animal or not and would take her to Mildrid and she would nurse them back to health and, if there's a chip, she would find the original owners and take them to them. But if not, she would set up and adoption date and would sell the animals. So far her facility is nearly empty so there were a lot of nice people willing to adopt one. After taking care of animals for so long, the magic decided to reward her and turned her into a, in a way, a goat lady and which that change she can now talk to animals. So there's a plus. She's married to Bahnoir, who is just like her: an animal love and an animal himself.

Bahnoir: Speaking of which, meet her husband, Inspector Bahnoir. One of the most depressing guys around yet he sings like Bruno Mars. Naw I'm just teasing. Though he does get depress it's mostly 50% of the time when he's at work, or has a bad day. But he never gets depress around his wife Mildrid. He became an inspector at Dark Parables when he read through some Chinese stories and he managed to find mystical items that were thought to be gone. But he doesn't give it up willingly. First he would try to find out what it, who made, how it is made, and how does it work. Then he would find a proper owner to keep the item safe and hidden from the wrong hands. He's also my teacher when it comes to finding objects and doing the same research he does and made the right decisions involving the items. Now for his personal life, he and Mildrid have talked about kids in the past but then there would be a case that would remind them that maybe they're not ready yet. As for the animal aspect of his existence he's also an animal love, but instead of mystical animals like his wife, he's more into actual animals. He would find an injured one, and if he wants he can take care of it in the Dark Parables animal rehab and it's thanks to that kindness he turned into a ram.

Carter: Carter once owns an art gallery she inherited from her grandfather. It wasn't until she noticed that some of the paintings and pots were a little off. That's when she found out they were counterfeits. With her own detective skills, she manage to find the real paintings and what else and, to some, instead of returning them to the gallery, she would return some of them to their proper owners, mostly the ones that the Nazi stole from WWII raids. After finding all the counterfeiters, she was approached by Dark Parables to be a detective to solve counterfeiters and whatnot. After some negotiations and compromises, she agreed but she still wants to work at the gallery. Well it wasn't until 6 cases in, and when the magic changed her, is when she passed down the gallery to her sister, who can take better care of it financially, she started working for Dark Parables full time and rumor has it that she has a thing for Mr. Boddy. Well when I found out, of course I was a little sketchy but after she saved his life I gave them my full blessing. But it was just a rumor. Turns out she has a things for a gunslinger with a missing eye and loves to dress in red. Who am I to judge?

Madeline: Madeline Marple, an aspiring detective in training, specializing in murder weapon identification and Carter's girlfriend. She's blind in one eye, which actually helps considering it helps her aim with her good eye, but still, she wears a special charmed eye-patch that acts as a false eye. It cannot see, but it does give her the ability to continue to make expressions with it. A collector of charmed trinkets and magically enhanced devices (such as her multitude of various firearms bearing magic symbols and circles for varying affects), she keeps in an enchanted handbag of infinite holding, practically a must have for ladies fashion these days. As for her personality, she's not an easily amused young lady. A tad problematic considering whom she's now working alongside, quick to anger, a workaholic and has little to no tolerance for ridiculous behavior. The irony. If her name and the handbag sound familiar here are a few clues. Here's the first one: In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines. Here's clue number 2: She travels when the winds change but she goes south instead of north. That's right. Her teachers were Miss Clavel and Mary Poppins. Since she had no family, she got a job and worked as a security guard at Carter's gallery. She learned self-defense growing up but then she had a talent for identifying weapons. It wasn't until after she held Carter getting all the original art from the counterfeiters is when she changed and started working for Dark Parables. Of course she missed Carter but it wasn't until Carter started to work at Dark Parables is when they were permanently partners, both in work and relationship. No one dare made fun of their relationship until they want to loose a body part.

Shakespeare: Yes there's someone in the department that is named and looks like Shakespeare. You see when he was young, he used to read the original's books and watch every adaptation that was based off of work. That's when he and his brother, decided to make their own plays of his famous work. But just like the real one, Shakespeare was a womanizer, but unlike the real one, he has 12 baby-mamas and rumor has it that he's Travis's father. Told Travis about this and he said and I quote "Why would I want a father that makes a story with would be more enjoyable on mute?" Naturally I do and don't blame him. Anyway, how he came to be and how be is working at Dark Parables is more funny then you think. It was when he and his brother wanted to do a warrant round up for Heather when they volunteered as junior investigators. So the 2 decided to make a fake play that was a 'fusion' of Shakespeare's work and an opera musical. They looked through the warrants, took note of their names and contacts, and held open auditions that would catch their attention. Naturally it worked. The crooks came in, audition and spend the next 5 months rehearsing the play and had no idea that it was a trap. It wasn't until the day of the play is when all the crooks saw that audience was filled with policemen…well let's just say that we have 5 calendars filled with their mug-shots, 1 for every month. After that he changed into Shakespeare and his brother became…well…read it for yourself.

Phantom: That's right, his brother is the Phantom of the Opera and while the case is the same, how he change into the phantom is different then the book. While in the book, Erik had a deformity, out phantom had self-esteem issues. He was always shy, always quite, and, depending on who you ask, cold. But unlike the book he did found his true love. He meet her after the warrant roundup and the 2 started out as friends. She was a famous dancer and he, of course, is a singer. He would help her on her dancing; mostly ballet, and she would help him on his singing when it comes to opera. After a while the 2 started to court each other and then a year later they engaged. But like the original Erik, he had his heartbroken. His bride left him at the altar and ran off with some looser, who later on became the city's drunken fool. Well after that he did in fact changed into the Phantom but unlike him, he wasn't so sad. In fact he created his own dating rules: 20s=enjoy dating, 30s=learning the lessons, and 40s=pay for the drinks. And since he's 26 years old, he has plenty of time. Well at Dark Parables, he's a master of disguise, along with 2 others, and a phenomenal actor, so don't be too trusting of your enemies…for he may very well be hiding among them waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

Slenderman: Yes we have a Slenderman, but unlike the stupid game, this guy works for Dark Parables as an undercover agent. You see, he can have different faces and change his voice to get information as long as he can't change physically. He's saving that for his partner Larry. You see his past is simple; he loved to dress up when he was in school in order to get any party in a play as he could and when he isn't in the play, everyone falls asleep. But he doesn't dress up for fame. No as a teenager he was finding himself. He didn't know what he wanted to do, his sexuality, or even his identity. It got so unbearable that he went through countless therapy sessions to find out. It wasn't until me meet Mr. Boddy that everything came clear. At first he worked for him as a filer for the main office, but when he heard about a case that required heavy-duty stealth, took on the case. For 2 years he worked undercover and it wasn't until he meet Larry, and his cousin is when things started to work out. After the arrest, he changed in to the Slenderman we see now and yes he does have tentacles, please not hentai thoughts.

Larry: Speaking of which, Larry first started in an underground casino when he worked as a croak and he also knew Thaddeus. It wasn't until Thaddeus turned his life around is when he tried to. He is also a master of disguise and it was also the same time he meet Slenderman. But the magic didn't change him into Slenderman Jr. No. This time he's more of a ghost that can change his appearances physically into any size and shape as long as he has a full side picture of the dude. But the only catch is that he can only take that shape for 7 hours. Any more, and his cover will be blown. Nothing much of his past that he told me, but I do know he worked with his cousin who was once a mafia man before the Goodfellas case when they were teens. After the case, they didn't join Dark Parables until he, his cousin and Slenderman changed. And it was for the better.

Don Capone: Speaking of his cousin, meet Capone. No not THE Al Capone but he does have that Italian attitude to match the name. Same with Larry, there isn't much to his pass other then he and the other 2 working together on the same case. He was a Don at one point but got out of it thanks to Thaddeus though he still kept the look. It actually took him longer to join Dark Parables. You see he went through a bit of depression after the case. It hits him home since his father was a Don in real life and was one of the few that escaped the sting. He told Engleburt about his father but just before he turned him in, he shot himself in the head. That's when he changed into his form today. Some say that his father's ghost possesses him, but it turns out that Capone is free of the mafia life when he made the choice to end his family name. And I'm sure you asking, what about Larry? But that answer is that Larry was adopted into the family. Now I bet your asking, what about a wife? Well he took precaution to that as well. When he turned 20, a year before the magic, he had a vasectomy so he can't have kids. After the change he joined Dark Parables willing and is one of my friends despite his past.

Hardy Boys: Meet the Hardy boy twins, Perry Hardy and Mason Hardy. Perry drives the Carriage cab, allowing the player to travel immediately to frequent stops in area your on, very useful when you need to go building to building fast. And Mason drives the trolley, which takes you to other sections of the city. They're pretty much exactly alike in every fashion, speaking in either tandem or union, the only difference is each likes a different girl, the Hammer Twins. They were once the drivers of Count Hershel and Edgar before Dark Parables recruited them. What's their job exactly? Well they are car experts. Meaning, if a car comes in that is part of a crime, they can identify the model, engine, the number, where it's bought, what kind of person drove it, and how it is damaged. And it's thanks to their talent that the magic touched them and now, at will, can transform into a car of any model. Heck they used it to take the crooks to jail. They love that talent and is using to it's full potential.

Hammer Twins: Meet their girlfriends, Veronica and Laura. They're the yin/yang of the group and not only by their clothes but also their attitude. Veronica is gloom and doom, while Laura is happy and chipper. I like to think of them as the sisters me and Renee would love to have. Anyway they work with Travis with investigations, in the paper, and notes for cases and help with files if needed. At first they were actual twins, they looked alike, sound alike, even had the same interest. That was until they meet the Hardy Boys. That's when they found their individuality. Veronica is more into rock music, while her sister is into anime and the good part is…they are not into Barbie. They're not submissive; they're dominant when it comes to work and life, depending on what it is. They will risk anything and do whatever ninja skill to get a good story, even if they have as certain Don and skinny to help. After they got the biggest story in the world, that's when the magic touched them and how they're physical appearances matches their personalities.

Queen Victoria: Victoria, a young Queen with low self esteem, leads the people, carrying out her duty to be a source of encouragement and hope. Though she believes she does not live up to these expectations and responsibilities that come with being the queen of a continent. Very shy and timid around all but her dutifully loyal bodyguard, the Black Knight Edmona, who she admires greatly, feeling strong whenever she has her by her side. She has to be like that since she's an heiress to a company. It's not a robotic company but more of a fashion company. Think of Michael Kores but less of being an asshole and more of Coco Chanel. Growing up, she was taught by her mother to act in a way that women do not wish to repeat. To make it plain and simple, she was taught to act like a lady back from 1774, useless and baby-makers. Even though she was sketchy when it comes to relationships she has incredible insight. Whenever she had a boyfriend, she would notice the slightest detail would be off. Think of the Mentalist but as a girl. It really came to view when her mother's boyfriend was killed 2 days before her birthday. With the help her of bodyguard, she solved the case and it turns out her mother killed her boyfriend for the money. After she was put away, Victoria put her money away in a trust so she wouldn't touch it until needed and for her temporary CEO of the company, she asked her older sister, who knows about business to take over until Victoria reaches the age of 35. Normally it would be the age of 21, but she told her cousin, 'I need to re-educate myself and the only way to do it is in Dark Parables'. And so she and her bodyguard joined the team and now she's a profiler and the magic changed her to a queen in a beautiful dress I've ever seen.

Black Knight: She is the bodyguard of Queen Victoria and has an overzealous sense of duty to protecting her. It is said she is one of the mightiest warriors in the land of this generation, possessing powerful fighting skills and magic thanks to her enchanted armor and lance. In the beginning she was Victoria's best friend growing up. She tried to teach her to stand up for herself but it wasn't until Victoria lost her soon to be step-dad is when Victoria got out of her shell and when the Black Knight came to whom she is today. She would often ask Victoria why not control a future branch of Dark Parables and she would replied, 'I don't think I'm destined to control a branch since I'm just figuring out who I am again'. That's when Black Knight made a promise to never leave her side and to always be with her in her time of need. That's when the magic transformed her. Now what black/green armor you may ask well she told me not all knights are perfect angels so I don't mind standing out as long as it doesn't change who I am. She's like a second mother to me even though she's only a bit older then me.

Maximillion: Meet Maximillion Tennision, Mayor of the city and the CEO of Victoria's company. He didn't want to join Dark Parables and it was no problem really, but he's more of a flip-flop. It's the same pattern: One day it want to be mayor, another day he wants to be the CEO, and another he wants to be join Dark Parables. Safe to say, depending on who you ask, he's going to stay Mayor until the next election. He only has one term left and when that's done, if he does wins, he'll go back to be CEO until Victoria is old enough to take over. After that he will join Dark Parables. You can probably tell by looking at him, that he's a narcissist, always maintaining and improving his own image and remain charismatic with the biggest city in the continent's citizens. He's quick to feel his pride be insulted and will readily duel any that impugn it, whether intentional or not. He turned into this giant rose flower after he purpose to his long time girl friend with 100 roses. She said yes and they made love in the roses. Don't worry they didn't have thorns. After that act, I heard that his fiancé said, 'The only rose I want is you' and thus the magic changed him into a warrior of the rose and these roses won't make sick during allergy season.

Alvin: He's one of the fashionista at Victoria's company and a good one. Growing up he had 2 mommies so he was a bit confused growing up. It wasn't until the end of elementary school, he finally understood about gay, straight, bisexual, and metro-sexual. Then out of the blue he just had a taste of fashion. He even fixed up the costumes for the Count's family, though he thinks yellow isn't their color. He doesn't work at Dark Parables but if you need a costume for an underground sting, he's your guy and you won't regret it. But I will give you a warning, if you piss him off, then he'll make your clothes come apart at the wrong moment and he won't be his fault if that happens. And I should know since he's done that to me twice.

Jonny: Using his mechanical butcher arm, he and his pet pig: Manparts, they run the most awesome butcher establishment in the land. You want dragon meat? He'll go out and get a dragon, kill it in front of you and give you the best dragon meat recipe there is. Absolutely nothing will get in the way of his business. The very apocalypse could be happening around him and he'll still be open for business. Yeah he's a weird one all right. Of course he won't hunt a dragon…unless it's one that's attacking the city but hey. In Dark Parables he works with Trixie part-time since he has his own business. As how he came to be, well he didn't really tell anyone or me. I don't know if the magic of the land gave him the arm or lost it and made his own. He never told me, but he did tell me how me meet his pet pig. He told me that when he was a kid, he went to Mexico and befriended 2 other kids. Well while running around, he found a shop where they were killing baby pigs and when he saw the littlest one, he heart melted and set the pigs free with the help of his 2 friends. The wild pigs escaped but the youngest one stayed with him. Now I know you're thinking, 'if he saved a pig, why become a butcher?' To my response is, he doesn't hunt animals as often as you think, he would hunt dragons, sea-monsters, and such, only when they attack a town, city, or village. Once the creature is dead, he would use the meat, and depending on how much there is, he will make it last for months on end and it will still be fresh. Now people call him mini-Paul Bunyan.

Rasputin: Yes we have a Rasputin. But unlike the real one, he's not crazy. This Rasputin is a monk but he has trouble-trusting people he never meets before. So he created a game a PG version of Resin Roulette. Instead of a bullet in the gun, it's a truth serum he created. He would ask questions and the serum will force you to tell the truth. If the answers were against the Bible that he holds dear, he would turn you in to the Justice Force. After he transformed into Rasputin he gave the formula to the police department and Mr. Boddy for interrogation reason. As far as I know, he's on probation and I stay away from him since we don't want a recreation of the revolution from Russia. He is also member number 2 of the 'Suicide Squad'. I actually asked Heather to make him a member out of fear. At first she didn't understand but it wasn't until she did some history lessons herself she understood why. That's all I'm going to say about this man.

Chaplin: Now I'm sure for you young folk you never heard of Chaplin. Well to put it simple, he was one of the greatest comedians in the silent film history. Even though everyone loves the new comedians now a days, Chaplin would always made them crying while laughing. You see in the city there was a clown that would do jokes from elementary to college and never get in trouble for it since they never hurt anyone except himself. He's actually my uncle's best friend. Mostly cause it was thanks to him that Mr. Boddy was out of his depression of the 'Clue' case and all. Chaplin didn't join Dark Parables since he doesn't want to be around sadness, or serious. No he wanted to make kids laugh when times are hard so he opened a small park and an elementary school where recess is more of play and laughs while learning at the same time. I'm actually hoping that Chaplin doesn't join Dark Parables. It's not for him.

Miss Jekyll: This is Lillian Jekyll, the original Dr. Jekyll's successor who took on his name as well as his controversial and illegal practices and she's his daughter. Having supposedly perfect the morality separation formula had been concocting; she believed she would finally be able to separate the good and evil in humans. However, upon testing she discovered that her evil side had begun separating, but unable to come out of her body completely. With the formula being even more addictive than it's former version, she is fighting a losing battle against the growth that forms her evil side, known as Mrs. Hyde. Don't worry Mrs. Hyde isn't dangerous. In fact she's also a profiler while Miss Jekyll is a typist. They're also member number 3 of the 'Suicide Squad' under their own free will. In the beginning, Miss Jekyll had personality disorder growing up so everyone knew about Mrs. Hyde. But as I said before she tried and perfect the formula and when they almost separated, they found out there was no chance of it ever working, so after the original died, they took all the notes and burn them. In fact it was thanks to the magic that they can never separate. I think the magi tampered with the formula so it will never work. This is one case where there will be times I think the magic cursed them but then I thought back of the original Jekyll/Hyde and the thought would go away. Mr. Boddy want me to stay away from them and I have for years.

Sweeny & Mrs. Lovett: Much like the original play and movie, this Sweeny Todd wanted revenge of the judge for happened to his family. But this Sweeny is actually tamed to say the least. His 'master' is Mrs. Lovett and yes we have her too. Both are members of the 'Suicide Squad' and for good reason since for one Sweeny is allowed to have knife, and Mrs. Lovett isn't allowed to back. These 2 scare me the most and I still have no idea why uncle hired them. Maybe they're a symbol of 'good cop/bad cop' or something but let's just say that their office is the same layout as an asylum room, padding and all. The only think they can't wear is straightjackets since they have to work, but they have no fingernails or shoelaces. And yes one's a baker and one's a barber.

Iron Mask: His mind has whittled into that of a simpleton through his years of imprisonment, but his body grew strong using just his will to lift his ever-heavier weights. His shackles and weights will forever be stronger than he can be to break them due to an ancient and forgotten spell cast upon the metal. Any who try to free him feel the sting of lightning and a force that is always greater than that they receive is dealt back, preventing anyone from overpowering the shackles. They are impenetrable and indestructible. All he knows now is how to keep persevering to finding freedom before his powers grows so strong that everything will crushed beneath him. He will however, smash anyone and anything that stands in the way of his freedom. But after the magic changed him, he's no longer insane. Now he's the warden of the prison of Dark Parables and would you believe me if I tell you his 'favorite' inmate is the man that put him in the mask in the first place? No not that way! And before you ask, he wanted to be a member of the 'Suicide Squad'. Even though the magic healed his head, he didn't want to risk the horror if he goes crazy again. I try to tell him that it won't happen, but even a tamed teddy bear goes feral when you least expect it.

Dorian: Yes, the immortal debaucheries who sold his soul to let his portrait age instead of himself for the sake of living a life of no conscience. Yes he's real but no he's not evil. He's the original but he didn't sell his soul to the painting, he just want people to believe that cause in truth he was cursed by a gypsy to live forever after he broke her daughter's heart. The only way to break the curse is to destroy the painting but in doing that he dies as well. Now while in the book his picture ages, it actually doesn't. What it really does if he looks at it, he sees the face of the gypsy holding her dead daughter. He couldn't bear looking at it so he covers it. In Dark Parables, he works as my uncle's secretary. He didn't want a detective job since people will recognize him easily. As for the magic land, it has yet to touch him. But I believe that the magic will release him of his curse if he learns a valuable lesson. Too bad he's too stubborn to figure it out.

Billy: Say hello to Billy the Kid II. He was a smart young man before the accident. You see there was a massacre at a store when he was 14 years old. He survived but that's only because he found a gun from the bad guys and used it against them. When the police came to expect the damage, they thought it was Billy that did the crime since he had a gun in his hand. Well they did arrest him, but after viewing the tapes, they released him and gave him some counseling. Well after he healed up, physically and mentally, he became a weapons expert for Dark Parables. Then when he was on a case, he was almost gun down, until the magic saved him. Now when people shoot at him, he is bulletproof and is almost entirely mechanical. Only his back and internal organs remain, meaning he still has a sharp wit full of wise cracks to make in the heat of gun battle. Speaking of which, has loads of guns built into his body: including shot guns in his legs he fires from his feet, Spit gun he fires form behind his mouth plate and many more. Still, being partially organic, he still eats his strict diet of steaks and beer for breakfast, brunch lunch dinner and evening snacks. He also seems to have some connection with Madeline...as in her ex-boyfriend.

Elizabeth: She's a very sadistic individual as one might suspect from her home decor, however the fact you see her decor is often a sign it's too late for you. She's very narcissistic, obsessed with remaining forever young, doing so by feeding on the blood of young virgin girls. When in public, she's very lady like, though this is only a ruse to lure her victims to her blood bath. Now she's one of those cases where the land cursed her. She's another member of the 'Suicide Squad' but unlike the others, he HAD to make her a member and is in the prison run by Iron Mask. There's no chance in hell she's going to work at Dark Parables. We just made her a member of 'Suicide Squad' cause there's a bet to see how long she will last before she does from the nanos. So far I'm winning and yes she's a vampire but not like the crappy Twilight ones.

Scrooge: Just like his original incarnation, he's cold, bitter, cynical and money grubbing. He's so cheap that the years without lighting his fire have turned his skin an icy blue, and ice forms in his wake and step. He's also the only bookkeeper in the town and Dark Parables. But like the story he wasn't always this way. In fact before he transformed, he was a cold person but after the transformation he was blessed with 3 magical kids making cure he won't complete turn into his namesake. So he looks like a Scrooge, walks like a Scrooge, talks like a Scrooge, but he'll never be a Scrooge. As for his sons…do I really need to tell you who they are? Anyway, no he's not married and no he didn't have an asshole for a dad, but he didn't have an immature mother so that explains his attitude, but thanks to his kids, he became the happy Scrooge we have now.

Past: Kid number one. She doesn't have a face or form, because if you do you see your own past. She does have clothes and has a facemask so it won't be weird talking to. But once she removed her clothes in front of a bad guy, the bad guy weeps and goes to its knees in surrendering. Can't really talk to her since she's always on the move. But she rather stays home until the winter months are gone since her fire can go out if not careful.

Present: Kid number 2. Now unlike the character from the book, this guy is no Santa Clause, he's more of a warrior or from some people calls him, a giant Gimli from Lord of the Rings. He works with the police department of the city and of Dark Parables and Justice Force ask him for help. He does have short-term memory but it only happened on rare occasions. Mostly if he stays up pass mid-night for a number of days in a row.

Future: Kid number 3. His presence clouds the field of smoke and haze. Any caught within shall begin to feel their life wither away due to his power of the future and ageing if he opens his coat. Some say he's the devil, some say he's the grim-reaper, and other say he's father-time in a pissed off mood. Though he's a mute, he talks to people through telepathy. I talk to him a few times, mostly cause he shows me 'what if' if I'm stuck with a decision that I can't make a choice. He doesn't mind, but I'm the only one that he allows that to happen.

Guy Fawkes: Don't you Remember, The Fifth of November, 'Twas Gunpowder Treason Day, I let off my gun, And made'em all run. And Stole all their Bonfire away. The fifth of November, since I can remember, Was Guy Faux, Poke him in the eye, Shove him up the chimney pot, and there let him die. A stick and a stake, for King George's sake, if you don't give me one, I'll take two, the better for me, and the worse for you, Ricket-a-racket your hedges shall go. Remember, remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. One of my dearest friends is none other then the one and only Guy Fawkes. Yes he's back from the dead, but not as a zombie-ish. If you ever watch the show iZombie, where the lady was bitten and is now a zombie yet doesn't act like one, that's the description of my Guy Fawkes. He's like a second father when it comes to politics. He works as a detective for the underground and corruption crimes in Dark Parables. As for his fighting style, the magic blessed him to fight and act like V from 'V for Vendetta' so he has knives, roses, his taste in music, and of course fireworks. He's like a second father to Renee and me.

Jack: Jack the Ripper. Member of the Suicide Squad. Never want to talk to him. He's Guy Fawkes' partner on cases. OKAY MOVING ON!

Moriarty: He's Dark Parables physiologist. As far as I know the magic hasn't touched him and I think it's for the best. He never leaves the building and another member. Do you think he and Jack are related? And Yes Sherlock Holmes is still after him and we turn him in every time.

Cthulhu: He is the leader of the gargoyles that protects the city at night. They've been here longer then humans and in a way I can see why. He knows history then any book I have. I meet him by accident once. I was walking home from the library when I was 10 and I was about to get jumped by some thugs, that's when Cthulhu saved my life. He took me home and every night, when I so somewhere, he would be watching over me like a guardian angel.

Sizor: Meet Sizor, a mysterious entity that strolls through streets at night, stalking those that are suffering in order to make deals with them, she solves their problems causing their suffering in exchange for their heartstrings. She usually just takes them away thus leaving the person empty and devoid of feeling, so while unfavorable it's technically what the deal entailed. So basically she's the towns and Dark Parables therapist and a divorce lawyer. She came to be after her ex-fiancé and spoilers broke her heart: it was Shakespeare. After the heartbreaking, she vowed to make sure no one would ever go though that again. So she got her degrees and just as she confronted Shakespeare, is when the magic happened and now she is who she is today. She's a therapist for the victims of the crimes and a divorce lawyer for either husband or wife that were a victim of a stupid spouse. Even some that suffers abuse and cheating.

Kyoko: Kyoko is a warrior from a foreign land that reigns as champion of the Black Market's underground pit fighting tournament where many a criminal fighter has been felled by her tremendous skills. I mean how else is she going to get the bad guys from the underground? The magic has yet to touch her but I think she doesn't need it at the moment. She came by one day when some of the Dark Parables agents saw her fighting underground and beating them to a pulp. Naturally they recruited her. She says yes as long as she can keep her ring. They agreed as long as she fights the people they are looking for. Mr. Boddy asked me not to hang around her cause of her clothes but I think she just wears them so she can have the upper hand during her fights.

Rebekah: The black smith and weapon merchant, Rebekah Squier. She's the wife of Master Garth. Try to stay on her good side, no one makes a sharper blade than she does and she's pretty slice-happy when set off. Oh and another warning, try not give her the goo-goo eyes else you might end up with someone's kung-fu foot in your face. Not hers, but her protective husband. As far as I know the magic gave her the strength of strength since she can carry her giant knife with no seat. She meet her husband during a tournament an liked his goofy charm though I don't see it as much as she does. Neither on of them work for Dark Parables, but if need to know what weapon is what, meaning what knife is this, then we go to her.

Master Garth: Master Garth, head of the Continental Dojo and champion martial artist. Also, for a big price, he can use the power of his "Macho Punch", a punch so full of manliness, that it overfills the target with testosterone, which temporarily boosts the physical attack power of your character that's been macho punch. Pretty-boys beware if you flirt with his wife. Also don't ask why he has lace underwear for hand gloves. You wouldn't get the picture out of your head. The magic gave him the knowledge to fight and his rival is Kyoko though everyone knows that's not true.

Pier: If you ever watch the music video of 'Red Hot' from Vanessa Mae then you know about his talent. When it comes to strings instruments, he was a master. Some say he sold his soul to the devil. But in actuality, it was the magic that gave him that ability when he got good with the violin. He's a bit secretive but at the same time, it's all in your face. He doesn't work for Dark Parables, in a way, but he plays in Madame Satine's stripper house and play for Chaplin for his funny skits. Some say he's related to Jake and Moriarty but I'm hoping he's not.

Death: Her real name is Lily Mortimer, but on the job, her title is Death. She works as a mortician in the city and Dark Parables if there's a death on the job. What happened is that there was a car accident, and she was on the verge of dying. Luckily the doctors saved her and the magic healed her. But it can only go so far. Sadly she lost her face and now she's a female Skeletor. She does autopsies report for both police and detectives but preparing the body for funeral is something she does best since she's basically death itself. She's really nice and I think she would be a perfect match for either Phantom or Guy Fawkes, but we can't have everything now huh? Currently she is working on making a facemask of her former face so she doesn't have to wear the top hat veil anymore but I would remind her how hard it is to take care of one. Of course she won't listen to me. Oh well.

Herman: Ladies and gentlemen, meet the fastest postman in the world, Herman Clouseau. He never ever stops running, and will even run in place if need be. Needless to say, this makes him a very efficient postman, outrunning any post van in the city. You can thank the magic for that. He worked as a junior mailman before but he hated it cause of the long hours. He was afraid of turning into his father, who was a workaholic, and won't have time for his family. So he tried everything he could to be very fast. He used cars, bikes, trucks, anything he can get his hands on to make the deliveries fast. But needless to say nothing worked. When all attempts failed, the magic gave him super speed much like the Flash from the superhero comics. Now he can work in less than 4 hours then the usual 10 hours and that's WITH lunch break.

Azizi: This is Azizi Abagnale; He's a gentleman thief, ever polite and well mannered even when he's stealing your stuff. He's eerily silent at all times, communicating only through fabulously designed and elegantly written cards. He's obviously the thief class equivalent in the party, and his weapons are knives and explosives, making him the fire element of the party too. Well in truth he doesn't steal stuff, but he will steal evidence to put away the bad guys, and he's really good at it. If you need an example, think of the Shawshank Redemption when he gave the newspapers and cops the information about a warden taking bribes. He did that and it put away 7 generals in the army. So yes he works in Dark Parables and yes he works with the 'Suicide Squad'. One has to take precautions.

Angel: Now Angel is a big fan of mystery shows and books/movies. One of the shows she loves is NCIS, her favorite character being Abby, and the Thin Man novels, mostly cause it's not so graphic for a beginner much like her. In Dark Parables she's a forensic specialist like Abby from NCIS. Mr. Boddy discovered her at a college in the village when he was going though a class reunion. The teacher had a giant riddle and no one in the class, or even Mr. Boddy, can solve it. But Angel did. She got up and instead of using all 5 white-boards, that the teacher was expecting, and used a board and half and solved it without sweating. After that she got a scholarship from Mr. Boddy and now she works at Dark Parables. As for the magic, she has micro-sight. Meaning, she doesn't need a microscope to see the molecules and the atoms in anything. Though in truth she has a hard time controlling it, but she's getting the hang of it.

Anuenue: This girl has 3 personalities in that head of hers. The first one is a chirpy young girl, affectionate and all around adorable little bugger. The second one is less cutesy and calmer. And the last one is more out there and less tamable. With every personality the magic granted her 3 forms to match the personalities. For me it hard to keep up with her, but I make sure she's out of trouble since somehow all 3 have a crush on Bahnoir despite he's married. She's the last member of the 'Suicide Squad' mostly cause she can't stop singing, 'Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance'. Though I like personality number 1, I stay clear of 2 and 3. Her power is that she's a black mage.

Kurt: Kurt is the last detective in Dark Parables. He's a bizarre fellow with an incredible track record for solving crimes. But when it comes to mysteries, he's a rookie. He's a ladies man much like Shakespeare but luckily for him, he can never go pass first base since he's a lousy kisser. The magic yet to touch him but with his attitude and deeds, I doubt it'll never happened. Wish I can tell you more but he's such a douche-bag that would make anyone happy to punch in the face. But he does have a good side. If you're ever in trouble and you need help, he's always there to help someone when they need it the most. So I don't completely hate him, but still don't like him.

Charlie: Charlie is my uncle's pet panther. Yes you heard me right; he's my uncle's pet and "mascot" of Dark Parables. Uncle meets him when he was just an ordinary cat and an orphan. He just showed up on our doorstep and how can you say no to that face. When Charlie got older, he got sick and was close to dying. Uncle stayed with him the whole time but the magic healed him and turned him into a panther and here's the kicker, he's now immortal. So some that sucks but he became a part of the family that he doesn't want to leave it. So he's going to be around until the family line is dead. Which won't happen for a long LONG time. Hope one day I'll have a cat that's kind just like him. Oh and why does he dress up like a thief? Well sometimes uncle likes to dress him up and he doesn't like it one bit.

Well that's everyone and I know that was too many people, but I can't abandon the people I work with. They're like family to me…even the scary one. Well now it's time to tell you how I cam to be. It all started when I was 14 years old oh and spoilers; about half of these guys may not be in the story since this whole thing is in my point of view. Hate me all you want but this is my story so deal with it.
