I have made Douglas part of a church of which I know little, and I furthermore intend to make him rather radical. He does by no means represent my opinion of the faith to which he belongs
Name: Douglas Abekenwie
Gender: Male
Age: 46
Skin Colour: Brown
Hair Colour: Black, with streaks of grey
Eye Colour: Grey-green
Height: 5'10"
Other physical characteristics:
Nation of Origin: South Africa
Personality: A man of strong opinions and a powerful voice, Douglas has never been afraid to hide what he believes to be the right course. His religion is as often a tool as a support, and his critics have questioned ho strong his faith truly is, though never to his face, for Douglas is possessed of a sharp wit and encyclopedic knowledge that makes him a fearsome foe in any debate.
However important his religion truly is to him, Douglas' upbringing in and fight against the apartheid has made him a strong, if not radical advocate for racial equality, and he claims that many of the worlds problems come from a combination of the power being in the wrong hands and the lack of religion in the modern world.
As a bishop of the Zion Christian Church, he preaches peace, respect and humility, and is believed to be able to perform faith healings
Occupation: Bishop of the Zion Christian Church
Biography: Born in 1965, Douglas brought up with the apartheid as the only way of life he ever knew. He was, however, instilled with a need to fight against it by his father and mother, both of whom were activists. Knowing that, as a Black, it would be hard for Douglas to gain a good education, they put him forward at an early age to be apprentice into the church, where he both lived and learned well.
Growing up with an educated viewpoint and a position relatively safe from government censorship and persecution, Douglas was able first to see the nature of, then begin to help the fight against the apartheid, and in 1994, after long negations, Nelson Mandela won the first truly open elections for almost 50 years. Douglas was 34 at the time, and was congratulated for his part, and two years later made a bishop. Well recognized for his skills in diplomacy and negotiation, he has been sent to the World Economic Summit to represent the Zion Church's interests and opinions.

Skin Colour: White
Hair Colour: Blonde
Eye Colour: Blue
Height: 5'7
Other physical characteristics: Daisy is in every way a traditional 'southern belle'. She has fair skin, slight freckles, rosy cheeks and shoulder length blonde hair. Her teeth are straight and are usually showing because Daisy rarely isn't wearing a smile, opting to always appear welcoming and friendly. Skirts and dresses take up most of her wardrobe as she was raised traditionally to dress like a woman should, when the weather gets warm she will even wear a large sun hat.
Nation of Origin: Southern United States of America
Personality: Daisy is a genuinely sweet person, she tries to be friendly even in stressful or tense situations. Having a traditional and almost storybook upbringing makes her not much of a businesswoman. Constantly having her fathers advisers whispering in her ear regarding business decisions she tries as hard as she can to keep up with the business lingo. Despite the men constantly in her ear she does have her own ideas, she wants to change the face of Summers medical and make it a company known world wide for improving mankind and helping the less fortunate.
Occupation: Heir to the Summers Medical company.
Biography: Daisy's story truly starts with her father, growing up as the son of two simple farmers Bill Summers story is truly that of a self made man. He decided one day that he wanted to be more than just a simple farmer, he wanted to be someone important and that's exactly what he did. He became friends with a up and coming doctor named Richard Day, combining the friends medical knowledge with Bill's cut-throat business tactics the Summers Day Medical quickly became a huge success. The store had become so successful that Bill wanted to turn Summers Day Medical into a large national chain, Richard however had drastically different ideas, he felt their time was better spent not on getting as much money as possible but rather focusing time and money on research and improving medical technology. Knowing Richard would differ on the future of the company Bill had a trick up his sleeve, a few years after the business started Richard passed testing on a product and sent it right to the market, a few people died as a result and the product was quickly pulled. The file however was kept hidden by Bill, at the time he told Richard it was to protect his image but Bill knew he would need something to hold over this almost 'saint' of a man in a time of disagreement, and he was exactly right. In the end Richard had no choice but to hand the company over to Bill, it was either that or potentially ruin his entire career. The story from then on out is pretty straightforward, Bill ruthlessly expanded his company into an international chain, undercutting the 'good guys' and making billions in the process he is known worldwide for his cut-throat business tactics which are underhanded and almost evil yet wildly successful. Fairly later in his life at around 40 Bill met a beautiful woman and promptly married her and had a child. Meeting an even more beautiful woman 6 months after the birth Bill divorced her and moved on with his life this time however opting not not have a child and live carefree with a young attractive woman.
This is where Daisy's actual part of the story begins, her mother was distraught and worried about how she was going to raise a child all on her own with little or no support from the much older man she had married. Not knowing what to do she left her child with her mother and ran off, due to a life full of hidden depression problems she was never seen again, suspected of committing suicide. At this point Daisy's grandmother had no choice but to raise the baby and she did it the only way she knew how, the traditional southern way. Daisy started life wearing dresses and acting like a lady, spending time at classy outings with her grandmother Daisy always felt the place for her was at a social gathering wearing a dress and acting proper. Daisy was taught by her grandmother that the only place for a good woman was in the kitchen of a good man and grew up thinking that very thing, she did alright in school but never really cared to try hard believing that as long as she could cook and clean she would be happy. Her relationships never worked out however, perhaps she was always too eager to take the relationships to more serious levels, whatever the case Daisy has never had a long lasting relationship and eventually had to change her lifestyle and get a real job. At around 26 Daisy found out who her father was, having never cared to find out who he was prior to that Daisy was shocked to learn that she was the sole heir to the Summers company. The reason she found out was because Bill was dying, he knew death was upon him and wanted to see his daughter at least once more before he died, unfortunately his wish did not come true but Daisy had no choice but to leave her home and run the company, drastically changing the way she lived her life and looked at life itself.
