Welcome to the small New England water town of Crystal Cove. Despite it's quaint look the town was very up and coming in every way. There were many tourist attractions, stadiums for special events, museums, fine schools and of course great New England restaurants. But what we're focusing on in this town are four amateur sleuthing teenagers and their talking Great Dane known as the Mystery Inc. The group consisted of two young men, two young women and of course their male dog.

The first young woman was known as Daphne Blake. She is the youngest daughter of an all girl six pack, her other sisters each being very successful career women. Her oldest sister Delilah is a Marine Corp General, her second oldest sister Dorothy is a race car driver, her third oldest sister Daisy is a medical doctor, her fourth oldest sister Deborah is an astronaut and her fifth oldest sister Dawn is a fashion model. Daphne comes from a long line of successful women, her mother Elizabeth Blake being no exception. Despite her petite frame and friendly face Elizabeth is actually a martial arts instructor for veterans of all service factions, which was what inspired Delilah to become an enlisted woman. And Daphne's father Nedley Blake is very proud of his "Amazon Women", as he tends to call them, for their strength and independence. Of course he's no less successful himself. Nedley just so happens to be the CEO of his own investigative reporting network, which may have played a role in Daphne's love of mysteries. And just like her mother, Daphne's petite frame and friendly face are just covers for the black belt martial artist that she is. Many a persistent man has found out the hard way that this little red head is no swooning damsel in distress. Though the youngest Blake woman has yet to decide what her career will be she currently enjoys solving mysteries with her friends.

The second young woman is Velma Dinkley. She's the youngest of the Mystery Inc troop but that doesn't mean she's the weakest. What Velma lacks in strength and size she more than enough makes up for in Einstein comparable intelligence and a fierce temper. This bookworm doesn't hold her tongue for anyone who challenges her, tells her what to do or picks on her loved ones. Velma is truly not your dime a dozen nerd and marches to the beat of her own drummer. She comes from a family of many intellectual people, her parents Christopher and Gwendoline Dinkley proving this fact in more ways than one as they are noted historians of the obscure and unknown. She also has a younger sister named Madelyn who's a free spirit that studies abroad. Along with her intellectual pedigree Velma boasts a wide collection of books that rivals the local library. While Velma can be a bit uncensored in her way of speaking she's still a sweetheart that her friends couldn't do without.

The first young man is Norville Shaggy Rogers. He's the easy going, animal loving "hippie" of the group who tends to let his appearance loose. Hence his nickname "Shaggy". Though he often seems to be aloof and dimwitted he is actually very observant and smart. But those who didn't know Shaggy very well wouldn't know it. Shaggy has a sweet younger sister named Maggie, who he often calls by her nickname Sugey, and two parents that are like night and day. His father Dustin Rogers is the blue collar commissioner of the Crystal Cove Police force while his mother Emily Rogers is the social elite heiress to the Beauregard Pet Care Spa company. Many ask what brought to people from such opposite worlds together, and Emily would always say she choose substance over style while Dustin would say he liked his antique dolls life size. Because Shaggy comes from two different sides of social status, middle class and upper class, he often finds himself wondering just what his place in the world is. Does he belong in a more humble setting like his father or is he better off in the lap of luxury like his mother? The question plagues the teen's mind a lot more than he cares to mention but with his dear friends and faithful dog by his side, one day Shaggy hopes to find his answer.

The fellow team member and mascot of the group is the every hungry and ever goofy Great Dane Scooby Doo. He's a one of a kind dog not just because of his bottomless stomach and many talents, but also because he can talk in human language. Albeit he talks with a bit of an impediment and adds "r" to a lot of his words Scooby's ability to speak is none the less amazing. This Great Dane's talking speaks volumes of just how smart Scooby really is, but for the personal reason to keep his life simple Scooby tends to act goofy. A lot of the townsfolk have gotten used to hearing the Great Dane speak and make his frequent happy exclamations of his own name, but those who just drift into town are a little more than shocked to hear a dog speak. Shaggy had gotten Scooby from a puppy farm owned by the kindly animal care taker Mrs. Nittingham in Plymouth Massachusetts, and since then the two have been like peas in a pod. Scooby may be something of a coward but when his loved ones are threatened this dog rolls over for no one and it'll be the unlucky person who crossed this dog that'll be "playing dead".

And then then there's the second young man, fourth member and leader of the group. Fred Jones Jr. He's a trap design enthusiast and loves nothing more than an exciting adventure...Well, there is one thing he loves more. And that is the other male member of the troop, Shaggy Rogers. You see, Fred and the others had first met Shaggy and Scooby in Crystal Elementary School after the hippie and his family moved to the water town. And when the once trio saw the scrawny young man and his puppy sitting all alone at a table Fred went over and invited them to sit with him and the girls. After seeing that they had a lot in common with mysteries, the group of five have been best friends. And as puberty began to set in Fred was starting to branch out with girls, but then he started to realize that every time he was with a cute girl all he ever heard was Shaggy's voice or saw his face on the girl he was with. By the time they graduated from sophomore year Fred began to see that he was in love with Shaggy. Since then Fred has been trying to tell Shaggy how he felt but always seems to get his tongue tied or Shaggy just doesn't seem to get it. But Fred is determined to show Shaggy how he feels. His father Fred Jones Sr is the town mayor of Crystal Cove and though he loves his job caring for the city he loves his job as dad even more, and as such is supportive in all Fred does and even gives him proper courtship advice in his pursuit of Shaggy. Though for his son's safety he could do without Freddy's constant trap testing.
