Gav, an exasperated cynic-turned-mad-scientist. He enjoys a "quest" more
than almost anything else, except world domination. Unfortunately, he has
on no occasion even been able to formulate a reasonable plan for world
domination and instead spends a lot of time traveling around, looking for
ideas. His wanderings can be monitored on his web-based Gavcam, a camera
attached to his glasses which downloads what he sees to his website.
Major: Nuclear Engineering a.k.a. "Nukee" (10th year grad student)

in the suffering of others. She choose psychology as a minor, like so many
do, to solve her own problems.
Major: Nuclear Engineering (Junior)
Minor: Psychology

King Luca, a self-declared suzereign, constantly on the search for
new loyal subjects and self-delusion. He spent some time once as an
Elvis impersonator. No one's quite certain (possibly including himself)
what his reality must be like.
Major: Nuclear Engineering (Grad Student)

|
Danny, a motivated, yet confusing theorist whose mind works on a plane
with which no one is quite comfortable. Works without questioning, and
questions without thinking. Doesn't talk much about his past, possibly
by choice, possibly by court order.

Shea, Gav's ex-girlfriend and a law student, who currently lives in Chicago.

up with Gav for nebulous reasons on the Jerry Springer show and has not
talked to him since.
Major: Law

Jessica, Jill's replacement at Flake's, to whom Gav had adapted more
quickly than anyone thought.

Dr. Goldfinger, a professor with questionable values. He knows the value
of a good grad student -- as a cheap source of slave labor.

calculator, but then got loose on the Internet.
Occupation: Formerly a calculator, currently unemployed

|
Helen, who usually just pops up as soon as she sees an opportunity to
make a sweeping generalization about the inadequacies of the human male.
She's sometimes gullible and sometimes not nearly gullible enough.

Steve, the freshman, because somebody's got to be the straight man.
