Name: Muriel Thomas (aka Mural)
Age: 20
Gender: F
Appearance: Mural is five feet eleven inches tall, 135 pounds, with long poker straight brown hair that she wears in a low ponytail or bun at the nape of her neck underneath her black beret. She wears all black, fitted clothes and a simple silver knot work bracelet that she twists around when thinking. Thick black spectacles rest on her nose and she is forever pushing them up. She has a little ski jump nose with a splash of freckles covering it that she hides with too pale makeup on her face. She wears dark smoky eyeliner and a little chapstick.
Occupation: Fine art student turned literature student turned film student turned biology student turned fine art student again.
Drink of choice: Cappuccino
Quirks or nervous habits: Fiddles with her bracelet, pushes up her glasses, rolls her eyes a lot
Favorite Store: Mural likes the music shop where she can buy supplies for her drum set
Purchases or things you have with you: A black bag filled with handcuffs, a gun, a can of spray paint
What brings you to the mall?: I swear, I get blamed for everything. Just because this was my idea. Whatever. I just wanted to do something about the corporate infiltration, but this is totally uncool. Now I’m supposed to watch the hostages, because we all know no one else is going to do it. Great. Like I know what to do with them. I swear, I am –so- done with Barney’s after this, whether we save it or not. Helping small businesses is totally lame.
Cup o' Mafia Mod Cast of Characters
Name: Bradley Carson (aka Brad, Spedley)
Age: 25
Gender: M
Appearance: Brad is six foot three, 210 pounds. His head is shaved clean, though his chin shows some stubble, and he has three piercings in his right ear, two in his left, one in his nose, one in his lip, and both nipples. He also has a habit of pushing safety pins through whatever skin is unpierced and available, though if he wants to keep a piercing he will get it done professionally. He has a tribal tattoo on the back of his neck that works its way up to the base of his skull and down underneath the collar of his shirt. If he rolls up his sleeve, one can see a coordinating tattoo on his upper arm. Brad has pale blue eyes and surprisingly long, dark eyelashes. His face is long with narrow cheekbones and an impressive nose that on closer examination appears to have been broken at least once. He generally wears cast off uniform shirts from various blue collar jobs that he buys at goodwill and baggy jeans that he hikes up when he walks.
Occupation: Works in the Auto Center at the Sears in the Mall
Drink of choice: Frappuccino cold
Quirks or nervous habits: Likes to push pins through his skin, chews on toothpicks, plays with his piercings, runs a hand over his bald head to check for stubble, speaks really loudly for no apparent reason, says ‘frickin’’ a lot.
Favorite Store: Barney’s of course! Beside that, Brad likes the hobby shop, where he picks up balsa wood models and brings them home to build.
Purchases or things you have with you: A tube of super glue, toothpicks, a gun, some safety pins, his wallet on a chain, and his cellphone.
What brings you to the mall?: Well, I guess you know what my friends and I were –trying- to do. Didn’t quite work out that way, frickin' mall security guards not doing their frickin' jobs and all. I’ll let the others figure out what the hell we’re supposed to do now; they told me to just talk real loud into the phone and say whatever I had to keep the cops out, so that’s what I’m doing. Seems to be working pretty well, I can creep people out pretty well without even trying so you can imagine what it’s like when I apply myself.

Name: Justin Case
Age: 23.456
Gender: male
Appearance: Justin is a pale,thinly built fellow that most people believe will blow over in a stiff wind. He's 5'7" with dark brown hair of no distinguishable style, longish bangs that gets in his eyes and ends that curl ever so slightly in different directions. His eyes are a nice shade of light blue if you can get him to hold still long enough to look at them.
Occupation: Defender of the Blighted Realms! Okay, technically he works in the mall's largest software store. Its a good question on whether he actually brings a paycheck home or if its all spent on games and coffee.
Drink of choice: Espresso and lots of it! One before he goes to work, one on his break, one for lunch, one after work..
Quirks or nervous habits: Justin will pace a room while talking about an idea, he tends to gesture wildly and begin to speak more quickly and more loudly when he has an idea or even some silly notion in his head. He can't sit still for long and will bounce his leg if he's sitting in a chair, spin around in it if it moves or tilt it backwards and rock on it if it doesn't. He fidgets with anything he can get his hands on and will drum on any surface to be found if there isn't something to hold and play with.
Favorite Store: The software store that he works for and Barney's where he gets his fix...err, coffee.
Purchases or things you have with you: a backpack full of gaming books, the latest action game software, a pouch of dice, a few dog eared notebooks filled with gaming ideas, pens, some character sheets and...His lucky troll doll, Pogo, who is brought out to watch every game.
What brings you to the mall?: Aside from working there? Barneys man, its an institution and those of us who can do something about it.. We can't on our honor just see it die! We must fight for it and even if we fail our saving rolls and the campaign comes to an end at least we tried, right? Its all any good hero would do.

Name: Elanor Gant
Age: 24
Gender: female
Appearance: Ellie is 5'5" with shoulder length dark blonde hair and hazel eyes. Thin wire rimmed glasses and the ever present headband make her seem like the most wholesome girl next door around and that would be about the truth of it. Her clothes are your typical jeans and tee shirts or whatever else is comfortable. There tends to be ink stains on her fingers and occasionally some on her chin or nose
Occupation: Clerk at one of the mall's bookstores
Drink of choice: Chai Latte
Quirks or nervous habits: Ellie is constantly reading and has a tendency to walk with a open book in hand, meaning she also has a habit of walking into things and people if the book becomes more interesting than her surroundings. She also doodles in a sketchpad and writes in her journal, sometimes getting ink on her fingers and absently rubbing her chin or nose. She has a fondness for flavored chapstick and applies it often as she has a habit of wearing it off quickly by nervously chewing on her lip.
Favorite Store: Barney's and the bookstore. She loves getting her chai and sitting down at one of the tables and reading her book,watching or sketching pictures of Bradley or his tattoos.
Purchases or things you have with you: A small backpack with her journal, several books to read, her small sketchbook, cellphone and several different kinds of chapstick.
What brings you to the mall?: Well it was my day off. I made sure I didn't have to work when the plan was concocted. It was a stupid plan, I know, but -he- was going to be there. Bradley... standing up for something he believed in. He was like that, so bold, so out there.. he didn't take anything from anyone.
He was also not likely to notice the plain jane girl who sat at the table nearby at the coffee house. Ellie had hopes that maybe somehow one day he'd look over and take an interest in her but that wasn't going to happen if Barney's closed now was it? She'd never see him again, never get a chance...not that she had done anything with the ones she'd had already but there was some comfort in knowing that all she'd have to do was just speak up once.
So when they started talking about this plan and Bradley stood up and loudly asked those at the nearby tables who was with them in the protest Elanor surprised herself by speaking up and saying she was. He looked at her then, actually looked at her, smiled and said "Cool." before turning back to the others.
It was supposed to be a sit in.. that's all, a protest, nothing more but then it got out of hand. She'd have never have gotten involved if she knew -this- was going to happen but then none of them planned this...or planned at all and that was the problem.

We who are about to die... Salute you
Name: Louis Scannon
Age: 37
Gender: male
Appearance: Lou is a clean cut and very fit looking guy. He's one of those people who seems very well put together, not a hair out of place, not a wrinkle in his clothes... you know, the kind most people hate.
Occupation: File Clerk for a high profile law firm
Drink of choice: Mineral Water (over priced but only the best will do)
Quirks or nervous habits: Checking his appearance in any reflective surface around, mirrors, store fronts, people's glasses..whatever.
Favorite Store: GNC
Purchases or things you have with you: a bottle of vitamins, a bottle of DeTox drink, a briefcase full of neatly organized paperwork for his boss on various open cases, his cellphone, pager and wallet.
What brings you to the mall?: Well, I just stopped in on my way to the office for some more vitamins and some DeTox drink from the GNC because I'm almost out. Its good for you, you know, look at all the people around you smoking, the smog and pollution and allergies, think of all the things we are exposed to daily...its a mess! Then there is the things we do to ourselves because of bad habits. Easy for me to say? No, I used to be one of those people, an over weight smoker drinking 10 cups of coffee a day barely making it through work. Eventually I just had enoug, forty was coming up fast and I was seeing the down side of that age hill. I decided to do something about it, I quite smoking, stopped drinking the coffee and started going to the gym. I'm much happier and much healthier. Unfortunately, my wife couldn't see how all those habits were killing her and instead of listening to me and letting me help her get healthy, she left me. She's now living it up with some smoking drinking kid half her age...but whatever, I'm happy.
I don't eat all that crap that most people eat. I have my protein shake for breakfast and lunch and then a nice healthy meal for dinner. It may not be steak and pizza but its good for me and I'm happy.
I normally wouldn't be anywhere near Barney's with people drinking coffee and reeking of cigarette smoke but GNC is just past it. I was standing there deciding which vitamins had the most niacin when these idiots started waving around guns and yelling a lot. Several should have their blood pressure checked, none of them seem very healthy. I doubt any of them are happy.
