Story Background

These are the characters, etc. in the Running Scared story.

Important note: As this is a branching story, if you are writing a new page, it is up to you to ensure that a particular character is valid at that point in the story. I will make a vague attempt at keeping some sort of timeline for these characters, but I do also have a life, so I'll maintain this to a level that I have time to manage. If you do use a character that has already died in the path to your page ... well we are dealing with replicants and possibly clones ...

The story has reached the point where it now includes a few parallel threads that are mutually exclusive. This is the point where I need to start creating duplicate pages so that different threads still contain certain plotlines. And to keep track, I will be adding some sort of threaded list to assist authors. But for now, please note that certain individuals in the story are very different characters depending on which thread you're following!

This will probably be split into separate pages in time, but for now one page will do.
