## Characters

### S.I.N.K Personnel

#### Miles McHaley

* Voiced by Max Mittelman. A carefree, intelligent yet somewhat unmotivated 20 year old American man of Belgian descent who is sent by his exhausted parents to Hexicon City to make something of himself after his youthful success descended into complacency in his later years. Caring little about things such as education, Miles sees his new home rather as an opportunity to fuck around and have some fun, but after showing 0 hesitation to save people, he joins SINK and slowly discovers that the new job that has been assigned to his life is something that he ends up very much enjoying. Spunky and sharp-tongued, the witty weapons specialist always has a biting insult or quip at the ready, and likes to live in the now rather than overthink things too much. He proves himself to be extremely dependable as a friend and colleague and one of SINK's top workers, but still fails to see SINK as a life purpose rather than a casual thing.

#### Satori Yakuzawa

* Voiced by Sally Amaki. A no-nonsense and calculating 21 year old Japanese woman, Satori was a child prodigy and is highly intelligent with an IQ of 242. She is one of what are called the Unsealed, who are people born with a initially locked part of their brain that enables them to manipulate the illusion of reality in a unique way, giving them extraordinary powers, unlocked from birth. Her power, Pointshift, can relocate her molecules and the molecules of a touched object to effectively replace herself into its position by calculating the 11th dimensional positioning of herself, the object, and the direction to relocate. However she has to wear a specially designed suit to use this ability or her molecules will scatter, killing her. While she may seem cold at first and always clashes with Miles over his nonchalant lifestyle, she has a passionate side for those she loves, but she has a hard time bonding or making friends as she feels heavily distant from others due to her genius.

#### Hunter Rhames

* Voiced by Isaac-Robinson Smith. The oldest of the team as a 24 year old African-American man, Hunter looks big and tough, but deep down he's really a sweet and stand-up guy who wants nothing than to protect the world from the anomalies that threaten the natural order of reality. A second generation SINK agent, he enlisted to carry on the legacy of his father, who was one of the organization's top agents who gave his life protecting Hexicon City from an anomaly. Due to this, his relationship with his mother is very strained, as she was very unapproving of Hunter's ambitions as an agent. He wields the Ignition Gauntlets, two metal gauntlets that emit immensely pyrophoric gas that ignites when exposed to air, injected with directional nanobots to allow the user to freely control and bend the flames. Despite getting along with Satori and hitting it off with Miles instantly, Hunter is constantly exhausted by having to be the middleman between the two's constant clashing, as well as dealing with his coworker and ex, Laura.

#### Laura Degenhardt

* Voiced by Tiffany Grant. A feisty 23 year old German woman, Laura puts on an image of thinking very highly of herself, and whenever she is given a mission she feels is too easy for her, she will let others know about it. However, she secretly struggles with being the next in line to the throne, and the princess of the mysterious parallel world of the Otherrealm, a world built on the souls of the dead. Like all people, though, she does have a very tender side to her and will give all her love to those she deems worthy of it. However, due to her past trauma of her powers awakening, her past with Hunter, and her current pressures as the princess, her mind is extremely fragile and she is prone to breakdowns in moments of stress, which aggravate an explosion of her powers. Her bone tiara is an indicator of her current power level, as it will manifest whenever her powers grow stronger.

#### Soo-Jin Pyon

* Voiced by Suzie Yeung. A 22 year-old Korean girl who left her home of Busan years ago to study horology, before joining S.I.N.K. Unlike a few other agents who joined out of necessity, personal obligation, family legacy, or other, Soo-Jin is a very pure and honest girl who joined because she believed in the mission of the agency - keeping Hexicon City a normal and safe place. Her first interaction with Miles inadvertently ends up being the catalyst for him joining the agency as well. She is a very bubbly and excitable girl yet also very determined and can definitely hold her own in battle if need be. Due to her chosen field, she is assigned to safeguard and wield the Pocket Timeline Manipulator Band, a S.I.N.K scientific marvel created by some of the best magical and technological minds the organization has ever had, allowing her to summon anything and anyone from any moment in time, travel in and through time, and freeze/mend time rifts.
