Twenty three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. These children would come to be know as the FreakAngels and six years ago, they inadvertently ended the world. This was, of course, not their intention but people with abilities like theirs tend to underestimate the extent of their power. Regardless of what happened six years ago, the twelve have, to some extent, made up for their mistake by taking the Whitechapel district of London under their personal protection. This act, by their estimation, is the most effective way of salving some of their guilt over what has happened in the wake of their actions.
Now, it is of immense importance to keep in mind, that though these twelve individuals were born at the same moment, they are not related. They come from twelve separate families, and are bound only by the powers they posses. Well, that and their similarity in appearance, as they all have pale skin and violet eyes, a product of what they refer to as the "FreakAngels Package". Despite these bonds, the FreakAngels are a diverse group, with each possessing their own unique abilities that set them apart from the others. Twenty three years of living together have allowed the twelve to bring these gifts together and rebuild a world they destroyed, so without further ado I present the FreakAngels, in all their unwanted glory.
K.K., the mechanic of the group, who's full name is Kolfinnia Kokokoho Titching, but only call her that if you wish to have the shit kicked out of you. K.K. is, by default, the leader of the gang, or at least co-leader. She is a master of machines and steam technology and is quite fond of both alcohol and sex, regardless of the combination.
Connor, the groups recorder, who keeps track of everything that happens in their lives. Basically, he's a glorified historian, but there's more to Connor than just remembering. He is a kind soul, one of the few FreakAngels who can make that claim with a straight face, who prefers to take a non-violent approach to life. This attitude has earned him the title of "adopter of waifs and strays" from the others, a title he doesn't seem to mind much.
Mark, the groups other leader, who was nearly kicked out for attempting mass mind control of the residents of Whitechapel. Fortunately, the others were able to convince him that this was a bad idea, and they were spared the pain of ending his life. Mark is a serious man, who believes that the FreakAngels should use their abilities to help others.
Arkady, the groups neuronaut, who spends much of her time pushing the limits of the package. A bit spacey at times, Arkady is, in truth, one of if not the most advanced of the twelve in terms of her access to the package. This is due, in part, to an overdose she experienced when they were fifteen, which opened up mental avenues to the package the others do not yet posses.
Caz, the groups engineer, who's real name is Carolyn, though only Arkady still calls her this. Caz's primary interest in life is building things, and nearly all of the work parts of Whitechapel are her doing. A genius when it comes to machines, Caz is always looking for ways to improve the quality of life of the people she and the others have taken under their protection.
Kirk, the watchman, who spends the majority of his time up on the watchtower which stands above the Christ Church. Kirk is, by Connor's estimation, everyone's big brother, constantly on lookout for threats to the safety of the community. He can be a bit gruff at times, but is for the most part, a genuinely nice person who has the well being of everyone in mind.
Karl, the groups gardener, who prefers to be left alone. The only people Karl associates with on a regular basis are Kirk and Arkady, and even then it's usually only when he wants to discuss something. To keep himself sheltered from the others, Karl wears a tinfoil hat, which effectively blocks out the mental signals the others broadcast. His garden is located above the Ten Bells Pub in Shoreditch.
Sirkka, the mind, body and soul of the group, who is interested in reinventing the human relationship. In a way, Sirkka is the spiritual leader of the group, if they had a need for one. She maintains a harem and receives a small amount of disgust from the others at the way she freely gives her love. Sirkka sees no problem with her actions, however, and is quite content with her life, though there is one person she would prefer to be with.
Jack, the groups salvager, who has a tenuous relationship with Sirkka, due to his dislike of her promiscuity. Because of this, Jack spends much of his time on his boat, searching flooded London for supplies the community can use. Still, he loves Sirkka and hopes for a day when the two of them can overcome their differences of opinion. Until that time, Jack keeps his distance and allows Sirkka to live the life she wants to live.
Miki, the groups doctor, who's real talent, according to Connor, is telling people off. An expert in medicine, despite the fact that she has no formal training, Miki maintains a small clinic in Whitechapel and is dedicated to keeping the people healthy. She is, in many ways, the big sister of the gang, keeping everyone in line, or at least attempting to keep everyone in line. She finds this feat difficult at times, due to her inability to get the others to listen to her, but that doesn't stop her from trying anyway.
Kait, the unofficial constable of Whitechapel, who maintains law and order on the ground. She serves a similar purpose to Kirk, and she takes her job seriously. So seriously, in fact that the others have questioned her sanity at times. Kait gained the majority of her crime fighting knowledge from overdosing on crime shows when the twelve were kids, and she sees herself as the best line of defense Whitechapel possesses.
Finally Luke, the groups intellectual powerhouse, who is now somewhat of a pariah, due to his incessant sex drive and his belief that they are the pinnacle of evolution. Luke believes that the FreakAngels are meant to live greater lives than they do now and tries at every available opportunity to convince the others of this, though he has had little success in convincing them. Because of this, Luke feels a bit isolated from the others and has a fuck the world attitude.
So now that we have met the twelve, we can move forward. Six years ago the world ended and the FreakAngels were left do pick up the pieces. This is the story of what happened next. Welcome to Whitechapel, enter if you dare.
