Invited Guests
Yuna Verz
Astronaut
Yuna Verz is a seasoned astronaut who sincerely believes she has the highest IQ in the entire galaxy - and she might be right! Nevertheless, you should watch out for this brainy diva, as she’s known to be grumpy if things don’t go her way.
Yuna is currently engaged in a lawsuit over a family member's inheritance. As if Yuna doesn't have enough stress with being an astronaut! Furthermore, attorneys are expensive! Even though Yuna has a great job, she has expensive tastes and can barely pay the bills on her brand new Maserati, high-rise condo, and speed boat she just purchased. Many people in town wonder how Yuna can afford such an extravagant lifestyle, but Yuna claims she is great at managing money.
Sherlock Tracy
Homicide Detective
Sherlock Tracy is an infamous homicide detective. In recent years, he’s had a reality television crew following him around at the station for his reality show, Big City Cops. The producers love it when Sherlock talks in clichés and performs rhymes, which he constantly does! It makes for good television!
Sherlock isn't your average cop, as he draws monthly from a trust fund, gets paid for the reality show, and has one of the highest salaries at the police station due to his title and length of service on the force.
Sherlock prefers to live a single life and refuses to date anyone in Anonville. This angers some of the local ladies, as Sherlock is the most eligible bachelor in town. Some people have said that Sherlock is probably waiting to become famous so he can hobnob with the A list crowd.
Dolly Dee Seiner
Doll Designer
Dolly Dee is the prim and proper doll designer and dedicated friend to everyone. If you need a shoulder to cry on, choose Dolly’s. She’s known for giving excellent advice and is the most comforting person around! She’s a talented designer, but the theme of her recent doll line is raising eyebrows.
Dolly recently got into a bit of hot water at work. The executives weren't happy with her latest doll design, and she has been in talks over her future with the company. It's not like they are hiring doll designers everywhere. Dolly's future is in serious jeopardy!
Dolly might act like a drama queen if she sees she can get attention from it. For that reason, in a big crowd, don't double-cross this sensitive soul.
Dolly sometimes overdresses and over-accessorizes herself. This is probably due to her occupation.
Mag Niffie
Optometrist
Dr. Mag Niffie is the rudest optometrist in Anonville. Her address book is a barren wasteland, as she doesn’t have a true friend besides Bameril Lacrosse. Mag’s a difficult person to get along with - but she is a fabulous eye doc, so her appointment calendar stays booked.
Mag is continually chewing gum - even during eye exams. If you complain about it, you better be ready to listen to her complain about everything she finds wrong with you. For that reason, it is best not to say anything to Mag other than what is ailing your peepers.
When Mag is nervous, she paces back and forth and stares at the ceiling. She says this behavior stemmed from an old habit when she was studying for exams back in college.
Bameril Lacrosse
Celebrity Chef
Bameril Lacrosse is the quirky and skittish celebrity chef, restaurateur, and television personality. He’s best known for his five-star restaurants in hot spots around the globe, and for the hit cooking show, The Essence of Bameril.
Bameril has hundreds of thousands of followers on his social media accounts. He loves to post messages about his daily, mundane routines and uninteresting items that he sees during the day. For example, his most recent post was about tree bark in the park. The Average Joe doesn't care about seeing a photo of tree bark, Bameril! For this reason, he has a cult following of internet trolls who make fun of his posts. Bameril continually obsesses with trying to win these people over, to no avail. Bameril is just not that interesting and should refrain from posting routine activities.
Bameril loves to gamble and has made some terrible mistakes in the past. Let's hope those mistakes stay forgotten as Bameril rises to fame and glory.
Jackey T. Pressen
Owner - Madison Dry Cleaners
Jackey Pressen owns the only dry cleaning shop in town, Madison Dry Cleaners - lovingly named after Jackey’s first-grade teacher, Martha Madison. Jackey is fun-loving, sentimental, and loves to dance - but lacks a shred of talent when it comes to cuttin’ a rug!
Jackey claims that some of the dry cleaning customers are bringing their items back and 'falsely accusing' Jackey of ruining them. Jackey says it's an old scam to get new clothes, and Madison Dry Cleaners has a policy that if the dry cleaned items are picked up and no complaint is made at that time, that there was nothing wrong with the items.
Jackey says that Ms. Martha Madison is the one who made Jackey successful and instilled the confidence needed to be a thriving businessperson.
Cheque´ Penne
Personal Banker
Originally hailing from France, Cheque´ Penne is a frugal personal banker at the First Bank of Anonville. Townsfolk often spread strange rumors about him, since nobody truly knows the real Mr. Penne.
Cheque has been subjected to many internal affairs investigations over the last couple of years. Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. However, Cheque has been able to talk his way out of any suspicions against him. However, he might have messed with the wrong bank account with the most recent case that is about to be brought against him. Cheque is about to be investigated again, and something tells us he might not skate away from this one.
Cheque drives an expensive SUV and has a mini-mansion in the best neighborhood in town. How did a banker save that much money to live that extravagantly? Everyone says Cheque is frugal when you dine with him at a restaurant. He will divide the bill meticulously according to what percentage you've eaten of the shared items - even if it takes extra time and effort. Most of the time, Cheque's friends will pick up the bill just to avoid the hassle.
Pepper Keegrip
Television Producer
Pepper Keegrip is the neurotic television producer who sings her words instead of speaking them. She produces both Bameril Lacrosse and Sherlock Tracy’s reality television shows and is a stressed-out workaholic.
Pepper disagrees with some of the stars she works with, but most of the time, the arguments fizzle and are forgotten as the cameras are put away. However, some of the stars have staged protests and gone above Pepper's head. This hasn't bode well with Pepper's ego. Pepper isn't one to hold grudges but is one to get revenge if the situation fits.
Pepper is good friends with Cheque Penne but has recently said she doesn't want to hang out with Cheque any longer. Many of the town gossips have speculated as to why this might be. Could it be that Pepper doesn't want to associate with people who are being investigated by Internal Affairs at the bank? Or could it be a more personal issue?
Blondie Fawn
Actress
Blondie Fawn cringes at the phrase has been, as her time’s up on the Hollywood scene. In her last movie, she played the role of a grandmother, which killed her ego, as she’s only forty! This former star’s a tad delusional, so be careful what you say to her – drama is her middle name.
Blondie Fawn will not stop hounding her former contacts in Hollywood about getting her face back on the big screen. Many of them have blocked her phone number and her handles on social media. Blondie will do anything for attention to get in the tabloids - even if it means wearing a funny costume in public and sending in a tip to paparazzi or starting an argument with another celebrity on the street in hopes someone will film it and send it to the media. Nothing has been working for Blondie, and she is starting to become desperate for the limelight that she once had.
Bryan Seafoam
Radio Disc Jockey / TV Host

Even though Bryan is a host of a reality show, Bryan is not a fan of reality television and openly campaigns to have it banned from television programming. He publicly despises the cast members of reality shows, as well. He has gotten into many fights with Pepper Keegrip about her producing trash TV, as he calls it. He believes this twisted form of entertainment is spoiling the minds of today's youth. He claims he only agreed to host the terrible television program because he was offered so much money, he couldn't refuse. Is Bryan a hypocrite? Most people believe he is.

Those closest to Mike have voiced their concerns about a potentially dangerous device that Mike has developed. Has Mike lost touch with reality and created something that is a detriment to society? Or is Mike about to make the world a safer place? Only time will give the answers about Mike's intentions.
You should never act like you are hiding anything from Mike, as he is paranoid by nature. Once he believes you are out to get him, he could launch a preemptive attack. With the kinds of things he can create, you'd never see it coming. He is the worst kind of enemy to have.
Bill Shananagan
NFL Coach
Bill Shananagan is the obnoxious National Football League coach of the Anonville Cheetahs. Bill is one of the best coaches in the league but has a difficult time leaving his coaching techniques on the field. Bill can be quite boorish and bossy in person!
Bill was recently accused of filming another football team during practice, and for having a spy film the defensive coaches' signals from their sideline during a game. Bill adamantly denies all accusations, but the league is currently investigating the two instances. Bill has a reputation for dishonesty but will sue anyone for defamation who states anything that is disparaging against him.
Bill is currently engaged in five lawsuits, so be careful what you say about Bill.
Bill is also not easy to live by, as he was run out of his last neighborhood for feuding with the man next door.
Roxy Rich
Heiress
As long as you don’t mind being judged, Roxy Rich is a good friend to have. An opinionated heiress, Roxy’s the most prominent socialite in the city of Anonville! She knows nearly everyone around – including most of their secrets. Roxy can be a bit of a gossip at times.
Many rumors are floating around Snow Falls about how Roxy might have murdered her multiple late husbands. The gossip-mongers believe Roxy marries for money and then poisons them to free her up to find the next victim. However, she wholeheartedly denies any wrongdoing in her late husbands' deaths.
Roxy came from a humble military family with many members in her lineage having received high-ranking military awards. She moved around from base to base during childhood and never learned how to keep long-lasting friendships. For that reason, she doesn't have many friends and often treats people around her as servants.
Luke Fude
Food Inspector
Luke Fude is a hilarious guy. He’s a knee-slapping comedian by night and a serious-minded food inspector by day. Luke’s best pals beg him to break into stand-up comedy, as he constantly makes everyone laugh.
Luke has worked in food safety in many capacities in his career - from processing plants, to restaurants, gas station hot dog counters, and even school cafeterias. He's seen it all and has many nightmare stories of food-borne illnesses and cross-contamination scandals in commercial kitchens. That is why Luke doesn't have any tolerance for the foodservice locations that are in his inspection route. Luke has shut down his fair share of food establishments in Anonville.
Luke often complains about the temperature in the room. Luke is either too hot or too cold, and he's rarely satisfied. Luke will remove his jacket and within minutes, put it back on.
Cha-Cha Merengue
Ballroom Dance Instructor
Cha-Cha is the beautiful ballroom dance instructor. She’s a little hyperactive, and rarely stands still—especially if there’s music playing! This fiery instructor dances nonstop! Where does she get the energy?
Cha-Cha doesn't own or drive a car because she never applied for a driver's license. She either walks, rides a bicycle, or takes a bus everywhere she goes in town. The good thing is - she lives right above the dance studio, and there are restaurants and a grocery store only blocks away.
Cha-Cha is used to getting her way with anything she desires. For this reason, she will throw a fit worthy of a tired toddler if she doesn't get her way. Cha-Cha has a saying: What Cha-Cha wants, Cha-Cha gets!
Pawnie McQueen
Professional Chess Player
Pawnie McQueen is a professional chess player. This Queen of the Knights will tell you how it is with her blunt honesty! Some say she uses the candid approach to throw off her competitors. Since she wins championships, something’s working for her.
Pawnie has blacked out before when she became angry at another woman during a 50% off sale at a clothing store. She claimed not to remember anything that happened for at least an hour after the incident, but the store looked like a tornado ripped through it. Many witnesses reported that Pawnie was responsible for all of the chaos. It is probably best not to anger this pawn slider.
Jamie Bond & Colleagues
