Name: Nathaniel "Nate" Cross
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Physical Description: Roughly 6'3" and about 185 lbs. Shorter cut dark brown hair, brown eyes. Light complexion. Prefers to wear tan colors, particularly a tan long-sleeved shirt, brown jeans, riding-style boots, and has a brown "gunslinger" style overcoat. Has a vertical scar running across his left eye, although both eyes seem to work well. Known to have several long cut scars, as well as a handful of puncture scars. All scars are somewhat faded, and tend to only be readily visible in bright light. Or if he ends up tanned or (more likely) sunburned.
Personality Description: Nate is often described as easy-going and has a willingness to talk to new people, although mostly he tends to let others handle most of any conversations he's in. He's also known to have skill in several detective work-related activities, as well as being very inventive and highly adept at technology and mechanical work. Oddly enough, he seems to get somewhat edgy when rumors, urban legends, or odd occurances are mentioned. Often described on those who know him as being an excellent listener, as well as being exceptionally discreet. He does, however, have two major flaws: He was known to have a hair-trigger temper during his youth, which he seems to have under control. Also, he seems to occasionally have issues with a combination of absentmindedness and awkwardness. This combination has, in the past, resulted in almost slap-stick like humorous chain reactions, much to Nate's detriment.
Character Background: Very little is known for certain about Nate's early life. There are only four events known for certain, all of them apparently key in forming the young man into what he is now. First, while still very young, his parents died in an apparent arson. This directly lead to the second event, the young boy being taken in and raised by a family friend, one Koike Shiraishi. Later on, during his teens, Nate experienced loss for a second time, as his childhood friend and first love was found murdered in what appeared to be a ritualistic fashion. Finally, Vincent Metras, a fellow ward of Shiraishi's, suffered a severe psychotic episode, resulting an explosive battle between the two former friends. Current belief is that most, if not all, of Nate's collection of scars comes from that fight. Although Metras survived the fight, circumstances surrounding the following events led to Metras' death.
Other Background Notes: Appears to be between 18-24 years old. Works for Cross Technologies, a technology firm/corporation that specializes in primarily medical technology, although an entertainment division exists as well. He was once thought to be a point-of-contact for a mysterious private investigations group entirely focussed on singularly unusual cases, often with elements that cause normal channels to view them as 'unsolvable' or 'without sufficient evidence for pursuit'. Lack of evidence of such a connection, and to a lesser extent, evidence of the shadowy group's activity on Pathos, has caused such theories to be dropped.

Name: Koike Shiraishi (Or Shiraishi Koike, if you want it correctly...)
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Physical Description: 6' even, roughly 180 lbs. Grey hair, green eyes, light complexion. Wears black pants, a black button-up shirt, high black boots, and a dark green coat. Seems to have faint gold trim.
Personality Description: Quiet, calm, reserved. Rarely shows much emotion. Very fluid in movements, and almost never hurries.
Character Background: Besides being some manner of martial arts master, and an expert swordsman, little is known about Shiraishi's past. He just doesn't talk much about it.
Other Notes: He appears to be in his early 50s, but even Cross has no idea just how old Shiraishi really is. He was also thought to be a key member in the investigation agency, again lack of evidence caused such examinations to be dropped.
