William is a programmer and freelance machinist in the anarcho-capitalist Seattle of a near future post-apocalyptic world. Despite his more introverted nature he can be just as goofy as Maxwell. He generally misses the 'good old days' of civilization but doesn't spend too much time worrying about it. He could really use a distinguishing feature.
Maxwell is William's housemate. He has a smelly hat. A more extroverted goofball than William, he is also better suited to the sometimes violent nature of a dystopic future. He is a physical security subcontractor. While most of his work is as an adjuster for Northwest Security he still does the occasional freelance job as well.
Denise is the deposed queen of Wenatchee. She was exiled when the current theocracy took over. Taking a break from raising forces to retake her thrown, she recently moved to Seattle to start the Government of Wenatchee in Exile. She now lives with William and Maxwell.
