Sunbeam

Sunbeam

Realname: Claire Margot Hastings Alis: Sunbeam aka Sunny Sunny is tall at 5’7” , golden-haired whirlwind of sensuality and warmth. Her cascading blonde waves gleam in the sunlight, her skin perpetually sun-kissed with a glowing, smooth complexion. Her piercing blue eyes are dreamy and unfocused, often sparkling with the haze of whatever drug she’s on. Her body is lithe and curvaceous, a walking embodiment of 1960s sexual liberation. She’s usually barefoot, adorned in minimal clothing—often just a bikini top and a flowing, tie-dye sarong. Bracelets and necklaces jingle with every move, and tiny bells on her anklets chime softly as she walks. She smells faintly of patchouli and marijuana. Sunny’s posture is languid and inviting, her movements fluid and carefree, often swaying or spinning as if caught in her own private world. Her voice is soft and high-pitched, with a dreamy, sing-song quality. She speaks slowly, often giggling mid-sentence, misquoting slogans and offering nonsensical observations. Sunny’s vibe is magnetic but airheaded, her charm lying in her inability to take anything seriously.

Moondog

Moondog

Real name: Daniel “Danny” Rosenberg Alias: Moondog aka Mooney Moony is a wiry 5’11” with auburn hair that falls in unruly waves, his beard scruffy and patchy, giving him the look of a wandering mystic. His green eyes are glassy and perpetually bloodshot from his near-constant drug use. His pale skin carries a few sunburns, suggesting someone who spends more time under the stars than in the shade. He’s dressed in a purple graphic T-shirt with a faded psychedelic logo, a brown leather jacket with fraying cuffs, and ripped blue jeans. A collection of layered necklaces dangle against his chest—one with a crescent moon charm, another with a feather. Flip-flops complete his perpetually stoned, nomadic appearance. His voice is low, raspy, and lazy, with long pauses between words and a West Coast drawl. Moony moves slowly, as though walking through molasses, often staring into the distance with a half-smile. He carries himself like someone drifting in and out of reality, his speech peppered with philosophical musings that sound profound but rarely make sense.

Starling

Starling

Realname: Cassandra “Cassie” Johnson Alias: Starling aka star Star stands at 5’6” with a lean, muscular build that speaks to her relentless determination. Her dark brown skin is smooth but carries faint scars from protest scuffles and an intense life on the streets. Her round face is framed by a voluminous, perfectly shaped afro, and her sharp brown eyes burn with passion and intensity. She wears a cropped military jacket covered in peace-sign patches, activist slogans, and Black Power insignias, paired with high-waisted bell-bottoms featuring colorful psychedelic designs. Thick bracelets jangle on her wrists, and a single silver chain rests against her clavicle. Star’s combat boots are scuffed but sturdy, always ready for action. Her voice is low and commanding, with a Southern drawl that adds weight to every fiery word she speaks. Star moves with purposeful energy, her posture rigid, her strides long and determined. She carries herself with the confidence of someone who refuses to back down, her sharp tongue and fiery speeches cutting through any opposition.

River

River

Real name: Jeremy Collins Alias: River River is a towering 6’2”, his lean, muscular frame hardened by a life of rebellion and chaos. His long, dark brown hair falls in unruly waves, often tangled and wild, while his thick, bushy beard adds to his rugged, untamed appearance. His sharp gray eyes glint with mischief, always scanning for the next opportunity to cause trouble. Tattoos snake across his arms, featuring anarchist symbols, crude phrases, and chaotic swirls. He wears a khaki button-up shirt adorned with mismatched patches, half-tucked into olive-green cargo pants. His combat boots are worn and battered, caked with dirt from endless travels and acts of vandalism. Sunglasses rest haphazardly on his face, pushed up into his hair, or forgotten altogether. River’s voice is rough and gravelly, with an erratic cadence that matches his unpredictable nature. He moves with the jittery energy of someone who can’t sit still, his posture loose but coiled, ready to explode into action at any moment. He exudes danger and unpredictability, his presence magnetic and terrifying in equal measure.
