## Episode List

1. Runnin' Away From The Devil - A couple thousand years ago, no biggie, an ancient monster named The Emmisary was sealed away by the first Warlocks of the Otherrealm. Unfortunately, magic, ritualistic seals have an expiration date, and it seems that this particular one just went bad. With the Emmisary back on the loose, Laura, Akshar, and Adriel are assigned to keep it from entering the mortal plane at all costs, or else it will begin its mission to take every human soul for some strange and unexplained reason. Ambiguity fucking rocks!
2. Do Not Watch If Allergic to Backstories - Lance, Ilyana, and Sebastian are no stranger to trauma. So when they're assigned to the forests of the Netherlands to encounter a very strange creature that can supposedly thrust a victim back into their most traumatic and horrifying memories, the 3 will have to finally make peace with their pasts and emerge stronger than ever. Huh? What was that? You knew that this was just a bullshit plot device to expand on their origins in greater detail all along? Dammit!
3. That One Really Cool Pink Floyd Song - Do you know what a T.H.I.N.G is? Well, it's something the time team created as a short but surefire way to indicate when they're needed: a T.H.I.N.G stands for Temporal Happening Instigating Need for Gallantry (Alistair came up with the last word.) So if you ever need them, just yell out "WE'VE GOT A THING!" And that's just what happened. When temporal tears start popping up more then usual and in very deliberate periods of history, Soo-Jin suspects that there might be a very sinister plan at work. With that said, a time-traveling adventure is in order! Woo-hoo!

## Characters

* Tiffany Grant as Laura Degenhardt - A 34 year old German woman who acts as leader of Team C-29. She can summon the powers of the netherborn as she is the princess of the mysterious Otherrealm. These powers manifest in glowing blue chains, weapons, and skeletal limbs. Laura thinks 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. She's also somewhat pretentious. 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. She and Hunter have a very strange and unexplained rivalry. Perhaps one day we'll know why the two are always at each other's throats.
* Martin Sensmeier as Adriel Cetanwakuwa - A 35 year old Native American man who is descended from the Apache tribe of indigenous peoples. His Totem animal is a Hawk, hence his last name. This Totem animal can manifest in times of need and grant him special powers. Like most Native Americans, Adriel has adjusted to modern culture, but still brings the traditions of his tribe with him. He is a very vigilant and perseverant man as a member of C-29, and when he isn't talking, he is in deep thought.
* Karan Soni as Akshar Ankireddi - A 36 year old Indian-American male spirit who acts as the Occult Operations Manager, who oversees all supernatural missions in S.I.N.K. He is an expert at neutralizing ghosts and spirits, seeing as he is one himself. Due to this, he is able to delve into the Otherrealm without needing to die, which is how he knows everything about what the ghosts of the Otherrealm are planning to do to terrorize humans next. He is always very hard at work, but when he isn't, he enjoys regaling other agents with tales of his mortal life.
* Ray Chase as Lance Robinson - A mothman who is the son of the original Mothman first recorded at Point Pleasant, West Virginia. He possesses the powers of invisibility, camoflaugue, high speed flight, disaster inducement, and penance stares. Lance is an extremely quiet and reserved mothman. However, when he believes it is needed, he isn't afraid of speaking his mind and can put things kind of bluntly, and will get his point across but won't always see if or how it's hurting others. He prides himself on being proper, and always wears a suit and combs his wing feathers. Lance joined S.I.N.K due to his sympathy towards human causes, as he is disgusted by things like war, tyranny, and slavery.
* Sarah Natochenny as Ilyana Kalashnikov - A wendigo who is a member of Team H-45. Long ago, Ilyana was worshipped by a cult, and she did not mind it as it meant that she had a bunch of morons who would do whatever she wanted. Over time, she grew an appreciation for human life and dedication. However, all hell broke loose when the cultists attempted to sacrifice a newborn child in her honor, which horrified Ilyana. She killed all of the cultists and took care of the baby for 3 days. The baby was eventually returned to her mother. Afterwards, the massacred bodies of the cultists were found in the forest, leading many to believe they were killed by a monster. S.I.N.K caught wind of this rumor and recruited Ilyana, who accepted as it gave her a chance to save and work with humans.
* Fred Armisen as Sebastián Ramos - A chupacabra who is another member of Team H-45. When Sebastián was a child, he was orphaned and completely alone. not only this, but he was starving. He barely got by on livestock, but because of this, the entire country of Puerto Rico was on the hunt for him. However, a person known as Old Man Cesar, who was an avid believer in the existence of chupacabras, found him and took pity on him. For years, Sebastián and Old Man Cesar lived in Cesar's farm where Sebastián would be allowed to feast on some of Cesar's livestock. Cesar also taught him how to speak English and Spanish. Unfortunately, an evil government organization located Sebastián and stormed the farm, killing Old Man Cesar. Enraged and consumed by grief at the loss of his surrogate father and the one man who showed him compassion, Sebastián mercilessly slaughtered every soldier present. He was recruited by S.I.N.K not long after, and he accepted as he believed it was the one way he could repay Old Man Cesar's kindness.
* Suzie Yeung as Byuk Soo-Jin - A 32 year-old Korean-American girl who is the team leader of T-18. 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 S.I.N.K because she believed in the mission of the agency - keeping the world a normal and safe place. She is a very bubbly and excitable girl yet also very determined and can definitely hold her own in battle if need be. As team leader, she is assigned to safeguard and wield the Pocket Timeline Manipulator Band, a S.I.N.K technological marvel created by some of the best minds the organization has ever had, which can summon anything and anyone from any moment in time, travel in and through time, and freeze/mend time rifts, as well as Peering Goggles, steampunk-esque goggles that have clock arms on the lenses, which, when turned to a specific time, can project what Soo-Jin is currently looking at in the time she inputs. She can also input the date through the side stalk's screen.
* Cassandra Lee Morris as Alexandreina Luminița- A 34 year-old Romanian girl who is a member of T-18. Similarly to Hunter, she joined S.I.N.K due to her family, as her brother, Anatole, was a highly decorated agent throughout his tenure there, retiring 3 years before the show takes place. Alexandreina likes to go by Alex for short since her name is long to say, and she's self-conscious about it annoying people. Before joining S.I.N.K, she had communication issues, being unable to talk to anyone. When she joined S.I.N.K, she then met Miles, who was, quite frankly, too eccentric NOT to talk to, as he could turn anything into a conversation. She wields a S.I.N.K Mini-Winder, a pocket watch that can turn anything it is placed on to any state of time it has or will take, and the IRD (Irregular Relativity Detector), which is a device that detects and pinpoints any improper temporal activity.
* Drew McIntyre as Alistair MacFarland - A 38 year-old Scottish man who is a member of T-18. Predictably, Alistair is the main muscle of the group. However, he's also a very straightforward and loyal person, with anyone considered a friend by him guaranteed to always have their back watched by him. He's also blunt about his heritage and claims that "anyone can be a Scot with enough alcohol." He wields the Hoursmasher, an axe with an hourglass encased in the middle between its wooden hilt and large metal blades. The hourglass can be opened at Alistair's leisure to unleash Timesand, which can drastically change the temporal state of whatever it lands on depending on the intention of the user.
* Jack McBrayer as Hologram Sam - A holographic AI program meant to assist around the S.I.N.K HQ, who often briefs teams on missions, helps running the technological departments, and serves as an assitant for S.I.N.K's numerous electronic devices. He is programmed to be very kind, useful, and upbeat, but also has a conscience of his own. Despite this, he has sworn never to turn evil, not just because he is loyal to S.I.N.K, but also because he knows how fast S.I.N.K can put an end to him.
