==Sylvia Fan Pei Hsi, The Gunner Saint==
'''Defining Moment:''' When Sylvia was fifteen years old, a band of vicious gangsters working for a 14K loan shark terrorized her family, cornered her in an old abandoned church and beat the living crap out of her before nailing her to the church's big cross. She hung there for nine agonizing hours before Kanzoutsukamu found her and awakened her. She took revenge by hunting down and killing each of the scumbags that had done this to her before blowing the loan shark's brains out. This pissed off the 14K something awful, and when they started sending demons, ''mahou shoujo'' and ''maou shoujo'' after her, it was all that Sylvia could do to survive. She escaped from Hong Kong to Roanapur after crossing paths with Fate Guardian Masami and Crystal Warrior Marian, who would become her mentors up until their demise at the hands of the Creeping Chaos with a Thousand Faces, and mostly works with Chang, whose Kan Yi Fan syndicate often has to deal with 14K incursions into Roanapur.

'''Badass Type:''' Kickass (+2 to all physical rolls)

'''Flavas:'''
* '''That All You Got?''' - You don't hang from a cross for nine hours without being goddamn tough or touched by the divine. Spend 3 BP to completely negate all damage from a single instance.
* '''Gun Fu''' - Sylvia is a very accomplished shooter, and has only improved under Chang's tutelage. She gets +1 to all attack rolls using guns and can make a single gun attack count as 1 BP of damage for every 2 points over the defender when fighting mooks.
* '''Martial Artist''' - Sylvia is not just a shootist, but can also take you down in hand-to-hand combat as well. She can spend 1 BP to do 1 BP for every 2 points over the defender when in melee.
* '''Exorcist''' - Possession is normally a very ugly affair for ''mahou shoujo'' who have to deal with it. Not for Sylvia. She gets +2 to all Sorcery rolls made to drive a demon out of someone it's reaching into. Particularly powerful demons may require the expenditure of BP to exorcise.
* '''Heaven's Rebirth''' - When the going gets truly ugly, Sylvia can unleash her Trigger Form to destroy her opposition. She can burn 2 BP to take on a powerful angelic form that gives a +2 bonus to attack rolls but inflicts 1 BP of damage for every round she is in this form until she ends it. When in Heaven's Rebirth form, Sylvia's hair turns an angelic white, her eyes glow a blazing gold, and her costume shifts into something resembling silver, white and gold armor. She also gains a pair of blazing white angelic wings that can be used to defend and attack.
* '''Wily Veteran''' - Sylvia's been around longer than most ''mahou shoujo'', and has picked up more than a few tricks along the way. Once a round, if she's already spent a BP for attack or defense, she can burn 2 BP to gain a bonus die for the other.

'''Powers:'''
* '''Every Gun Known To Man''' - Sylvia can conjure any archaic to modern small-arm known to man, from pistols to shotguns to machine guns. 
* '''Healing''' - Sylvia is a very adept healer, and has patched Yumi and other mahou shoujo up on more than one occasion. She needs to know the nature of the injury in order to heal it, and some wounds, such as those delivered by particularly powerful Awakened Demons, can't be healed.
* '''Exorcist''' - Sylvia can use her magic to exorcise a demon, driving it out of someone it's possessing. This always takes a concerted effort on her part to drive out the demon, since many demons are Badasses in their own right, and can only be fully driven out upon losing all their BP. While she can use this power to free someone from possession, she cannot use it on anyone who has willingly or unwittingly accepted a demon into their hearts (in other words, she cannot cure ''maou shoujo'').
* '''Grand Gospel Phantasm''' - Sylvia can transport herself and others into a pocket dimension where she and others can train full out without danger of dying.

'''Gear:'''
* '''Weapons:''' ''Aequitas'' and ''Veritas'', two stylized silver, white and gold revolvers, each barrel as long as Sylvia's forearm, with golden crosses gracing each side of the barrels. ''Aequitas'' can transform into a silver, white and gold antimateriel rifle, which Sylvia primarily uses to unleash her ''Angelic Cross Execution'' finishing attack. ''Veritas'' can transform into a full-on machine gun (think something in the vein of an M-249 in silver, white and gold), which Sylvia often uses to blow apart crowds of lesser demons. In addition to these two weapons, Sylvia also has the ability to conjure any gun known to man, which she uses against more human foes. She most often uses automatics like the Beretta M9s for this purpose. (+2 Weapon)
* '''Armor:''' Sylvia's ''mahou shoujo'' costume is a fusion of a priest's garb and a business suit, all in white, golden crosses adorning her cuffs, her belt and her collar. Her battle aura is a bright gold. (+1 Armor)
* '''Normal Gear:''' When in normal form, Sylvia prefers a variety of guns, though her favorites are her twin Beretta M9s.

==Yuri Suenami (Starlight Sentinel Yuri)==
'''Defining Moment:''' Yuri's life changed forever when she accompanied her friend Maki Shino, her little sister Yumi, and the Delta Kappa Phi sorority on a tour of Thailand on Spring Break. When a bad storm and a wrong turn landed them in Roanapur, by all accounts a wretched hive of scum and villainy, the two tried their best to survive. When they got separated from the main group, the two of them were attacked in an alleyway by a thousand-eyed horror out of nightmare that snatched Yuri up with its tentacles and tortured her with energy attacks and horrible poison needles, while also slapping her little sister down with more tentacles and blasting her with horrible beams. Though Yumi tried her best to save her sister, it was all for naught, as Yuri was devoured alive before Yumi's eyes. For four years, Yuri was slowly drained of her existence bit by bit, fighting hard to hold on to her memories of her little sister. When Yuri was finally released, she wandered the streets of Roanapur alone, and it wasn't long before she was set upon by some scumbags who were after some easy prey. She was rescued by BlackRoseWhisper and Longshot, two mahou shoujo who were friends of the Demon Hunter, who it turned out was her sister, who had spent four long years in the city hunting her devourer and killing any other demon that she came across. But when Honkukikaori intervened and unleashed his Invocation of Lies to save Nyarlathotep from Yumi's wrath, two versions of Yuri emerged. The first one, in Honkukikaori's World of Lies, was taken hostage by Honkukikaori himself, forcing Yumi to let her enemy go to save her life, and was awakened by Kanzoutsukamu as Steel Angel Guardian. The other Yuri, the real Yuri, was left alone in La Colonial, and was attacked by an Aspect of the Weaver of Lies after he was reverted by the Great Tiger for breaking the Pact with his Invocation. With no one else around to aid her, her life and soul were saved by none other than Yumi's enemy, who awakened her as a maou shoujo by the name of Soul Guardian Invoker so she could fight the Aspect. Upon learning that the real Yuri was in danger, Yumi defied the Invocation to offer her aid in her time of need, and Yuri drove off the Aspect and eventually helped the other mahou shoujo in the real world kill it. The two of them reunited in Honkukikaori's Web of Lies, where the two Yuris merged into one. With the powers of both versions of her, Yuri helped Yumi and the others destroy the Weaver and the Creeping Chaos once and for all.

Renouncing the demonic power of Nyarlathotep after his death at Yumi's hands, Yuri has been reawakened as a mahou shoujo by the name of the Starlight Sentinel. She has a lot of power within her as a result of both the merging of her World of Lies counterpart with her and the existence that Nyarlathotep poured into her when Kanzoutsukamu forced him to remember who and what he was (which had the effect of restoring most of the memories she lost at the Creeper's hands), but Yuri still has much to learn about the city of Roanapur. Though she seeks to help Yumi in her efforts to protect the people of Roanapur, part of her feels that she does not belong here, and wants more than anything to go back home.

'''Badass Type:''' Smartass (+2 to all mental rolls)

'''Flavas:''' As someone who has been both a mahou and maou shoujo, Yuri retains the Flavas of both versions of her, but because of her reawakening, she can no longer use the more demonic powers she could use previously.
* '''Martial Artist''' - While Yuri primarily favors using the nine stars of her Starlight Crown to kick demon ass, she is still as deadly as ever with her sword, and can use what remains of her anatomy lessons to nasty effect.
* '''That All You Got?''' - A Suenami is good at taking punishment, and Yuri has proven to be as tough as Yumi, able to withstand ugly demonic attacks that would fell lesser mahou shoujo.
* '''Everything and the Kitchen Sink:''' Yuri is horribly efficient at using just about anything imaginable as a weapon, and she thus never counts as unarmed. Even if she were to get stripped naked and tied up, well, she's got a handy rope to use! Once a fight, Yuri can use something improbable as a weapon as a Running on Fumes action in order to regain 1D3 BP.
* '''Doctor:''' Yuri has always wanted to help people and save lives, and retains just enough of her training as a medical student for her healing magic to have its best effect on those she heals, though this effort tends to drain her.

'''Weapons:'''
* ''Aetherius'' - A gleaming sword originally forged by her sister in the World of Lies and wielded by Steel Angel Guardian, Soul Guardian Invoker (briefly) and Steel Soul Guardian, Yuri remade the weapon using her own power upon her reawakening. Since its reforging in Yuri's hands, it has taken on the ability to negate all but the most powerful of spells and demonic powers used against her and her friends (see Negation below). (+2 Weapon)
* ''Starlight Crown'' - In addition to her sword, Yuri also wears a half-crown of blazing starlight with nine miniature stars that she can use to destroy her enemies and shield herself from demonic attack. (+2 Weapon)
'''Armor:''' ''Starlight Mantle'' - Yuri eschews the heavy armor she wore in her Guardian incarnations in favor of the sleek white jacket and blue dress she wore as Soul Guardian Invoker. Instead of the white roses in her hair, however, her head is adorned with a half crown of blazing starlight. It is from this crown that the miniature stars she uses in her offensive and defensive powers originate. She can also surround herself in protective magic meant to ward her against most mundane and magical attacks. (+1 Armor)

'''Powers:'''
* '''Demon Sense''' - Yuri can always tell when a demon, ''maou shoujo'', possessed human or malevolent Familiar (Incubators, Accelerators, and Benedicites that awaken too many ''maou shoujo'') is drawing near through the scars on her back beginning to burn.
* '''Little Miss Fix-It''' - Yuri can use her magic to repair anything as long as she knows its general function and how it works. This does not extend to objects that have been irreversibly destroyed (i.e. disintegrated or vaporized with nothing to work with), nor can it be used to bring dead people back to life. It works a treat for, say, healing people and repairing broken bones though, but again, she needs to know the nature of the injury before she can heal it.
* '''Starlight Rose Blossom''' - The nine stars of Yuri's Starlight Crown, upon killing enemies, disintegrate them into glowing white rose petals, which she can use either in a deadly swarm to tear enemies apart, or to heal anyone they touch or repair anything that is broken. The latter generally requires a Sorcery check.
* '''Negation''' - Yuri can use ''Aetherius'' with her sorcery to break spells, undo harmful sorcery, and even negate demonic powers for brief periods. This ''always'' requires a Sorcery attempt to pull off, opposed by the higher of the demon or sorcerer's attack or defense.
* '''Psychometry''' - A holdover from her powers as Soul Guardian Invoker, Yuri can read the history of anything (or anyone) she touches by making a Sorcery check.
* '''Awakened Bond''' - As long as either Suenami has an item that once belonged to the other (Yuri's scarf for Yumi, Yumi's pendant for Yuri), and as long as either of them are in Awakened Form, the two of them can sense when the other is in supernatural danger, and can use sorcery to affect the other, even if the two of them are in completely different worlds.

==Sister Magdelena of the RipOff Church:== 
A bubbly, petite brunette of Hispanic descent is a Master Gunsmith of the Church who does the work on Megan's M1911's, Blood and Night, and supplies what ammo Megan needs. Megan pays the Sister with some small jobs and giving her any interesting firearms Megan finds after the jobs.
Megan met the Sister when Magdelena was returning to the Church from making a small but important delivery and almost literally ran into Megan and some gangsters she was dealing with. After the incident ended the Sister asked Megan if she needed some work done to Blood and Night, even tho Megan takes good care of them, Magdelena saw that they could used a good and thorough work over and maybe some refinement. That and the Sister wanted the rare WWII German Assault gun one of the gangsters was using. The deal was made and has been that way since.

==Zakiya Sanura: Madame of Twilight Manor ==
A tall statuesque African woman of surpassing beauty and undetermined age and regal bearing, she is the Madame of a Bordello that deals with mid to high level clients. Who backs her house is not known publicly but her house is considered neutral territory by all involved. She will not deal with certain aspects of her trade and will send those who request them to places they can find them without fear of reprisal.
Zakiya met Megan some time ago when Megan was following a lead about the Massacre to her house, and to stop the impending bloody violence and collateral property damage, Zakiya defused the situation, had her ladies take care of the clients and she led Megan back to her office. In return for Megan doing jobs for Zakiya and not bothering the clients while in the House, she would pass on what information that she or her ladies find on the Massacre to Megan.
