But there's more to Marin than what you see. Marin isn't always great in social situations – sometimes, they stop talking and stare into space. And then, just like magic, Marin appears out of nowhere, like a secret surprise. Does Marin have a habit of spying on people? Or does Marin crave chaos and excitement? It's difficult to say.

Marin has a degree in archaeology and was an assistant to one of the most well-known archaeologists just a week ago.

PAREN BRONE
EXECUTIVE CHEF, THE SNEAKY STEAK | HEMLOXX HOSPITALITY
Paren Brone is the executive chef of The Sneaky Steak - the fine dining restaurant of Hemloxx Hospitality. Paren is absent-minded and refuses to eat or taste food around others – even while preparing dishes during dinner service, as they think they chew weirdly. But Paren showed everyone how good of a culinary mastermind and restaurant manager they are after being awarded three Michelin stars, the highest honor a restaurant can achieve. Unfortunately, since the steakhouse received the accolades, Paren's ego inflated. This chef has become hyper-critical of others. Alas, there isn't much anyone can do about this behavior change, as Paren's the reason for the success. Also, the executives of Hemloxx Hospitality are studying the recipe for Paren's success in planning to open many more locations worldwide.
However, Paren's plagued by more than just an inflated ego. Despite being awarded three coveted Michelin stars, Paren's dissatisfaction with their culinary prowess lingers. This discontentment fuels a constant sense of self-doubt, leading them to scrutinize every dish they prepare and every detail of the restaurant's operations. The pressure to maintain the high standards set by the Michelin accolades weighs heavily on Paren's shoulders, creating an atmosphere of stress and unease in the kitchen.
Moreover, Paren's hyper-critical nature has extended beyond themselves and their work. This chef has become excessively demanding and exacting towards their staff, holding them to impossibly high standards. Their relentless pursuit of perfection has created a tense and unforgiving work environment where mistakes are met with harsh criticism and little room for growth or learning. The once supportive and nurturing workplace has become a breeding ground for resentment and discontent among the kitchen staff.
Suggested attire: Chef's uniform.
QUILL BENTLEY
FUNERAL MONARCH, GORGEOUS GRAVES | HEMLOXX AFTERLIFE
Quill is the youngest of the CEO’s children and was doted on immensely by their late mother until her passing only two years ago. Lately, Quill has become unemotional and detached from the rest of the family. The town gossips speculate it is because Hunter Bentley was a person of interest in his wife’s death and was never charged. This has led to an atmosphere of distrust that has spread company-wide like a plague.
Nevertheless, after working every summer in the mailroom for the company since the age of 15, Quill now works year-round for Hemloxx Afterlife and manages Gorgeous Graves, a chain of exclusive burial grounds touted as luxury death experiences. All employees of Hemloxx Afterlife are referred to as funeral monarchs, no matter what their duties are.
Despite being a member of the Bentley family, Quill's father harbored reservations about their involvement within the organization. Quill believes they have proven they are an asset by working many years for the company as a teen. Quill's dad deliberately placed them in a division that didn't align with their aspirations and desires. It was a clear message of disapproval, causing a deep sense of frustration and resentment to simmer within Quill.
However, Quill's discontent extends beyond their personal life. They exhibit an air of perpetual dissatisfaction that permeates their interactions with colleagues and employees. Their demeanor exudes a distinct air of superiority, often dismissing the ideas and suggestions of others without a second thought. Quill's peculiar arm swing, which has always set them apart, has become more pronounced since the loss of their mother, leaving others unsettled and questioning the true nature of their demeanor.
Adding fuel to the fire, Quill passionately advocated introducing a new graveside wedding program within Gorgeous Graves. Believing it to be a unique and innovative offering that would attract a new demographic, Quill poured their heart and soul into developing this pet project. However, their father openly hated the idea, dismissing it as frivolous and tarnishing the burial grounds' sanctity. This clash of opinions further exacerbates the tension between Quill and their father, fueling Quill's disgruntlement and intensifying their determination to prove themselves.
Suggested attire: Gothic attire with cemetery-worthy accessories, such as a coffin necklace, etc.

The person with a pen pressed against a notepad staring intently from across the room reading your lips is most likely the notorious Alaska Fusco. Alaska hosts the Bramford Bluff Weekly podcast on the celebrity gossip site Hemloxx Spilled Tea, a division of Hemloxx Media. Alaska is a highly resourceful and entertaining podcast host who speaks without a filter and cares less about your feelings than a sick toad surrounded by hognose snakes.
However, there's more to Alaska than meets the eye. Behind their enigmatic persona lies a disheartened spirit, harboring deep discontent within the confines of their career. While Alaska's podcast viewership continues to surge, an inner frustration festers, fueled by a lack of recognition from the higher-ups. Alaska's unconventional style and disregard for a verbal filter have drawn skepticism and resistance from executives who fail to understand the magnetic appeal of Alaska's crude approach.
Alaska has a perplexing habit of slipping into various accents mid-sentence, baffling both listeners and colleagues. The reason behind this peculiar linguistic phenomenon remains shrouded in mystery, deepening the enigma surrounding Alaska. While it may raise eyebrows and fuel speculation, Alaska's steadfast refusal to conform to societal norms and unyielding commitment to a distinct style only fuels the rising viewership of their podcast.

RUE HELLEBORE
EXECUTIVE MANAGER, PICK A PLUCKY CHICKEN | HEMLOXX HOSPITALITY
Rue Hellebore is the executive manager for Pick a Plucky Chicken, a subdivision of Hemloxx Hospitality. Rue landed the lucrative position after witnessing a fender-bender between Hunter Bentley and a custodian in the corporate headquarters parking lot. Unfortunately, Rue was encouraged to erroneously side with Hunter – even though they’d witnessed what truly happened. Alas, Rue helped the CEO of Hemloxx avoid an insurance claim and potential lawsuit, so Rue was swept from a fast food kitchen to a plush office at headquarters. Rue now has power and authority over their former colleagues and the staff of 175 chain stores worldwide.
Rue is cunning and calculated and feeds off the negative energy of others. Rue finds reasons to act sad about things, and their favorite pastime is napping during thunderstorms.
Rue's antics may be disruptive, but their wicked humor adds a twisted hilarity to the otherwise mundane world of fast food operations. With not a clue as to what they are supposed to be doing with their executive-level position, Rue orchestrates a symphony of calamity - forever keeping their colleagues on their toes and their rivals in a perpetual state of befuddlement.
From an early age, Rue had an intense fascination with the world of cooking. Rue's parents often found them experimenting in the kitchen, concocting imaginative dishes with whatever was in the pantry and fridge. This culinary curiosity led Rue to get the Pick a Plucky Chicken job. Rue never had the desire to be in management at a desk all day.
Suggested attire: Fast Food worker uniform.

However, there have been recent rumors about Jamie taking bribes and allowing corporate spies from Bony, Incorporated to infiltrate areas of the campus that shouldn't be on the tour routes. Still, the internal affairs investigators have unveiled no solid evidence of this, so Jamie's job is relatively safe.
Jamie is overly trusting and will forgive anyone who wrongs them - even the haters who tell lies.

Jamie often tries out new comedy sets during the Hemloxx tours to ensure their jokes get enough laughs.

Born into a family of morticians, death was a constant presence in their life. At a young age, Enby found solace in the art of preparing the deceased for their final resting place. While others may have been put off by the macabre nature of their family business, Enby embraced it with a unique passion and sensitivity.
Enby has a knack for appearing busier than they are but is a kind soul who is always willing to lend a hand. However, given their occupation, Enby has a lot of stories about the dead that make most people queasy and uneasy, so be careful how you steer the conversation while chatting with this dead body prepper.
Having dedicated over a decade of unwavering service to Fancy Funerals, Enby's commitment is unquestionable. They have shown incredible dedication, never missing a day of work or lodging a complaint. Yet, despite their unwavering loyalty and contributions, Enby is in a stagnant position, having never received a well-deserved raise. As their years of service accumulate, perhaps it is time for Enby to find their voice and learn to speak up for their worth.
In addition to their duties at the county morgue and Fancy Funerals, Enby finds time to volunteer at local grief support groups and workshops. They gain immense satisfaction in helping individuals cope with loss and navigate the grieving process.

COVE DRACO
NEWS REPORTER, THE DAILY SNOOP | HEMLOXX MEDIA
Cove Draco is a former film star turned news reporter for The Daily Snoop, a streaming platform of Hemloxx Media. Cove is in front of the cameras, reporting breaking news via on-demand programming and live streams. The platform was previously accused of spying and using unfair surveillance to get their stories, but Cove adamantly denies engaging in any illegal activities. Cove played a supporting role in over fifty Hollywood movies but can walk down city streets without being recognized. Some say Cove is a failed actor, but Cove defends that bringing news to the subscribers of The Daily Snoop is what they were born to do. That said, be careful trusting in Cove, as they are an unpredictable, compulsive liar. This fibber constantly peers over their shoulder as they have burned many bridges in Hollywood and Bramford Bluff.
However, it is vital to approach Cove with caution. Behind their charismatic facade lies an unpredictable and compulsive liar. Their propensity for bending the truth and fabricating stories has left a trail of broken bridges and shattered trust. This constant sense of paranoia compels Cove to peer over their shoulder, seemingly wary of those around them.
Navigating the tumultuous world of journalism, Cove's journey becomes a dance of balancing integrity and their tangled web of deception. Their ability to captivate audiences and deliver news with flair and conviction masks a complex persona, leaving colleagues and readers questioning Cove's true motives.
Suggested attire: Male business attire. Female business attire.

GREY SAURON
RESEARCH SCIENTIST | HEMLOXX SCIENCE
Grey Sauron is a workaholic research scientist for Hemloxx Science, Biotech division. Grey works on many top-secret projects at the lab and refuses to discuss their projects. Grey won't even breathe hints about what the lab is about to release. SymbioTom is the only known project of Hemloxx Science - a collaborative project between the divisions of Hemloxx Science led by one of the Bentleys. SymbioTom is an android personal assistant who can aid in all facets of their owner's life. SymbioTom hitting the markets will forever change humanity - or so they say. Grey takes in strays of all kinds.
Beyond their work, Grey's compassion extends to creatures of all kinds. Like a modern-day "Doctor Doolittle," they have opened their home to a menagerie of rescued animals, nurturing and caring for each one with unwavering dedication. However, amidst their compassionate nature lies a peculiar habit that others find both endearing and frustrating. While engaging in conversation, Grey lightly taps on the cheek of the person they speak to, all the while spewing snap judgments about others. This idiosyncratic behavior sometimes adds an air of unpredictability to Grey's interactions.
Despite their seemingly stubborn disposition, Grey is not impervious to influence. Their easily swayed nature creates intrigue and speculation among their colleagues as they wonder if someone will eventually uncover the truth behind Grey's guarded secrets. The quest to unravel the mysteries of the lab and discover the truth behind Grey's concerns becomes a tantalizing challenge for those who seek to breach the fortress of their enigmatic world.
Suggested attire: Lab jacket/mad scientist costume.
