PENN BLOODMAN

CYBERSECURITY SPECIALIST | HEMLOXX CYBER

Penn Bloodman is an introverted ethical hacker with open disdain for society. Penn is stubborn and will never reconsider a decision. This computer genius has an exceptionally high IQ and rules the circuit of local trivia competitions in Bramford Bluff. Unfortunately, Penn is often accused of cheating, as nobody can fathom that a person could have that much random knowledge.

Penn works for Hemloxx Cyber. The job descriptions are not made public like other divisions in the company, but their group's mission is to provide cybersecurity for Hemloxx.

Nevertheless, Penn’s team has been accused of hacking into competitors' networks, but no solid evidence has emerged. Supposedly, there is a traitor in their cubicles. The cybersecurity team has been busy as bees formulating a strategy to banish the mole in their midst.

The perpetrators behind the hacking incidents have been revealed to be Hive Mind, an international collective notorious for attacks on governments, corporations, and organizations. Despite this revelation, the Hemloxx executives remain vigilant, closely monitoring the cybersecurity team for any signs of misconduct. The rumors of a mole among the group have cast a plague of distrust and lowered morale within the division, further complicating the already challenging task of defending Hemloxx's digital realm.

Despite the tensions and uncertainties, Penn's unwavering dedication to Hemloxx's cybersecurity mission persists. Their stubbornness in standing by their decisions, while occasionally causing friction, underscores their commitment to the company's protection. As Hemloxx Cyber fights against external threats and internal doubts, Penn's brilliance continues to shine, ready to defend the corporation's digital frontlines with unyielding determination.

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, regardless of their duties.

 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.

ALASKA FUSCO

PODCAST HOST,  BRAMFORD BLUFF WEEKLY OF HEMLOXX SPILLED TEA | HEMLOXX MEDIA

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.

Suggested attire: Super trendy attire with a notepad to take notes on others (optional).

​

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.

Suggested attire: Fast Food worker uniform.

​

JAMIE TORRANCE

TOUR GUIDE | HEMLOXX HEADQUARTERS

Jamie Torrance is a good friend of Zene Bentley, the CEO of Hemloxx’s firstborn child. After moving to Bramford Bluff years ago, Jamie became fast friends with Zene and used this connection to launch a self-made career as a tour guide of the Hemloxx, Incorporated headquarters in Bramford Bluff.

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 is witty and loves to tell jokes, even taking a turn at the microphone at the local comedy club on amateur nights. Jamie often tries out new comedy sets during the Hemloxx tours to ensure their jokes get enough laughs.

Within Jamie's journey, a delicate balance exists between maintaining their trusting nature and confronting the shadow of doubt that looms over their reputation. As they navigate the world of corporate espionage and the unpredictable realm of comedy, Jamie's story explores resilience and the power of humor to overcome adversity. Their ability to find laughter amidst uncertainty is a beacon of hope, reminding others to embrace their true passions and rise above the judgment of those seeking to bring them down.

ENBY RIDDLE

MORTICIAN (FUNERAL MONARCH), FANCY FUNERALS | HEMLOXX AFTERLIFE

Enby Riddle is the liaison between the county morgue and the mortician, aka the funeral monarch, who prepares the dead bodies for burial at Fancy Funerals, a subdivision of the Hemloxx Afterlife.

​Enby Riddle's journey to becoming the liaison with the county morgue and the funeral monarch at Fancy Funerals was fascinating. 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. This altruistic side of Enby's character further endears them to their colleagues and the community of Bramford Bluff.

Suggested attire: Gothic attire -black suit. If you are up for it – put dark circles under your eyes and give yourself a creepy appearance.

RAVEN THORNHILL

CONCIERGE, ZE HOTEL HEMLOXX | HEMLOXX HOSPITALITY

Raven Thornhill is the concierge at the Bramford Bluff flagship property of Ze Hotel Hemloxx – a luxury hotel chain and division of Hemloxx Hospitality. Raven spews apathy from their pores, living life at the most leisurely pace possible for a career-centric professional. Nothing triggers this concierge's sense of urgency. There isn't a situation or crisis to give this lazy service professional the slightest bit of panic or haste.

This attitude towards life explains why Raven delegates their daily tasks to the hotel staff. As a result, some have speculated that Raven has an exceptionally high IQ and is a mastermind.

In addition, Raven’s obsessed with personal hygiene and gives unsolicited advice on improving other people's routines.

Within Raven's character lies a multifaceted persona that challenges conventional expectations. Their ability to maintain an unruffled demeanor amidst the chaos of a luxury hotel speaks to a more profound complexity that others may fail to grasp.

COMPLIANCE OFFICER | HEMLOXX LEGAL

Salem Bentley's journey into the corporate world is marked by privilege and ambition. Growing up as the third youngest child of Reign Bentley, the esteemed COO of Hemloxx, Salem had a front-row seat to the intricacies of high-stakes business dealings and the allure of power and success. With such a notable role model in their life, it was no surprise that Salem set their sights on emulating their parent's success.
After completing their master's degree in business administration, Salem's path seemed preordained. Against the CEO's wishes, Reign secured a prestigious position for their child as a compliance specialist at Hemloxx Legal. Salem saw this as the first step towards cementing their future legacy within the organization.
Armed with a photographic memory, Salem's remarkable recall of information is a point of pride. They love to boast about this gift to anyone within earshot and are eager to impress and possibly even intimidate their colleagues. Salem challenges others to test their memory, reveling in the opportunity to showcase their seemingly infallible mental prowess.
However, a darker side to Salem's character lies amidst this seemingly confident exterior. Within six weeks of joining the Hemloxx team, they've earned a reputation as an infamous credit-stealer. While maintaining a small, close-knit group of colleagues who admire their abilities, Salem has also accumulated a growing list of foes. Their habit of taking credit for the work of others has left a trail of resentment and bitterness among some of their peers.
Collaboration and trust are vital for success in the competitive and cutthroat world of corporate maneuvering. Salem Bentley's history should be a cautionary tale of ambition gone awry. Their uncanny memory and penchant for self-promotion may have captivated some. Still, their treacherous nature and willingness to claim undeserved credit have cast a dark shadow over their professional reputation.

Nobody truly knows what the cybersecurity group does besides keeping the corporation's data safe and its web presence online without disruption. There have been accusations made by anonymous sources reporting to the media that this group is nothing but a criminal hacking faction. However, the staff has categorically denied all allegations made against them. The cybersecurity team is trying to find the mole among them before another press leak happens. This executive believes they’ve pinpointed the saboteur.
On a personal level, Sawyer bears the weight of their idiosyncrasies. The nervous habit of clearing their throat betrays their inner anxieties, often surfacing when confronted with challenging situations. Despite holding a position of authority, Sawyer's social ineptitude becomes apparent as they struggle to communicate their experiences effectively. Their narratives tend to undergo embellishments, resulting in increasingly unrecognizable and unbelievable tales. Consequently, Sawyer adopts a quiet and reserved demeanor in social settings, preferring to observe rather than engage in conversation.

With the weight of Hemloxx's technological future resting on their shoulders, Sawyer's ultimate success or failure holds implications for the corporation and the broader landscape of cybersecurity and ethical practices in the industry.
