Yule
Little brother. Twin of No.
Little sister.
Baby sister.
Little sister. Loves the animals, especially the mice.
Little brother.
Funeral Home Owner, taking over the family
business. Knew Winter growing up, and
given the cycle of death in this town? She's
the one that takes my patients once I'm
done with them.
Interested in medicine, going to school for... some degree or another
the details of which I missed. Persistent, which will get her a chance
to observe an autopsy. Isn't that everyone's dream?
Caretaker at the cemetery. Like he says, my clients become his once I'm done.
But I think he knows - or as seen - more than most.
Talk about the past. We graduated together. It's been twenty years,
but he still recognized me, and vice versa. Lawyer now, which sounds
about right.
Seen her a couple times at the coffee shop,
and she knows how to deal with assholes.
Good survival skill in this place, and
enjoyable conversation.
Really, really likes cookies. Mechanical Engineer in training.
Think, if she hits it off with Thewlis, we'll be seeing more of
her around the trailer park.
Sparrow's BFF. Never thought about it, but hair
dressers must make pretty good interrogators
with their line of work, getting all the best
gossip, innuendo, and juicy facts from their clients.
Former layabout, now mechanic. Job at Jacks,
and I've decided to let her peek at my baby.
If she screws it up? I know how to dispose of the body.
Tarot reader and spinner of bullshit in brilliant ways.
Personality is brighter than her hair, which is no
small feat to accomplish. Way to easy to fall into
with her, creating such dangerous encounters.
Ran into her in the precinct. Think she is
more of a workaholic than I am, but it
takes a certain sort to survive.
Knew her a bit back in high school. Gracious
enough to let me tag along on some of the
things that are outside my job area, but now
I know why. That sure backfired on her!
Owes me a trip to New York.
Detective that gets some of the juicy cases.
Knows the humor that one has to have to
make it by in this line of work.
A Doctor who has an unusual background to
say the least, and has recently swapped her
residency to tend to the needs of the dead.
Detective Hollywood. Not because she's
from LA, but because she somehow manages
to change the simplest of busts into a
Hollywood Blockbuster action movie.
EMT that can clearly deal with trauma,
given how well she handled Ellis. Don't
know that she understands what she
is probably in for now. Caught her visiting
him in the hospital, must have a good heart.
Sharp. Blunt. I like her. Course, she's also my best
hope at making sure Detective Hollywood doesn't
top my scoreboard for the most bodies I have to
autopsy, too. That's got to be a hard job.
We went to school together... and while I see the glimmer
of the person he was back then, there is more that has
changed. Someone to confide within on the weird things
that are out there, a perfect sounding board for the
mad ideas and experiments.
An archivist with a knack for organizing
data, someone who will be a steady hand
in collecting and keeping what we find out
safe from prying eyes.
She won the dinner with myself at the charity
event. A quick with with a keen, intellectual
mind makes for the most promising of
potential friendships, and dangerous hobbies.
Someone in the know, who has clearly been
through a lot. A useful ally, a potential friend,
and a trusted confident of those that I trust.
New York Minute - He lived in New York for the last twenty years. NYU saved him from a life in Gray Harbor. He made his home there, worked there, lived there, loved it. This year, everything changed.
Trailer Trash Makes Good - Yule left town when he was eighteen, and swore he'd never be back. It was hard for him, in a small town, and he was a small kid. He did a lot of fighting in his early years, and went away to college on a serious scholarship. Nobody else ever thought he'd be back. He escaped. And then he became a doctor, a medical examiner, no less, in New York. This year, though, he came back. Damned if he isn't living in that flipping trailer park again, just to be near his sisters, he says.
Adopted - Yule never met his birth parents. According to what he's been told, they died when he was a baby, and he was adopted by a kind Grey Harbor family, the Duchannes. He doesn't generally share more than that, if he even knows it.
Little Bit Spooky - Anytime there's a death that seems as if it could be Veil related, or something Other, Yule does his best to get assigned that case. Nobody calls him Spooky Duchannes yet, but it's really only a matter of time.
Veil Intrigued - He dreamed a Dream and wants to know more.
Yule Duchannes stands at five-feet, ten inches, his lean frame toned and athletic. His hair is black, an angular face slim and set with dark brown eyes, heavy brows, and a smile that has been known to charm a time or two. He carries himself with a quiet assurance, like he knows exactly where he stands in this world, and the world will make room for him. His hair a little long, falling just past his collar, gives him an approachable air, particularly for a medical examiner. He's dressed in business casual, nice dark slacks, shiny shoes, and a lilac button-down that shows off the warm done of his swarthy skin. His beard is well-kept, simple clothing always tailored to his frame.

It's a vignette scene! But there's a tweeest. %r%rThis scene is going to be a collection of character's most memorable New Year's Eve memories, one per character. This is going to be fodder for these vignettes to be cut up, spliced and re-used for GMed Dream scenes in the future for other characters. So if you are writing up a vignette for this scene please be aware that it will possibly be used and mangled into something new for future use. I will re-check with people before using their stories for scenes though. %r%rAnd I will leave this up for a few days for people.
