Emmett Garrison

Site Canon Character
Sherriff’s Night Deputy
Spirit · 18-20s · Male
FC: Thomas Brodie Sangster
, , ,
Site Canon Character · Group: Never Sherriff’s Dept.
, , ,

Emmett is a POLTERGEIST SPIRIT.

Emmett was born in Caledonia, or the northern portion of what we call Scotland, sometime in the first century. He couldn’t tell you exactly when he was born, or how old he was when he died — It’s been so long that his memory of being alive is hazy at best. He’s pretty sure he was killed by a Roman, but he’s also quick to add that it must not have been all that traumatic because he doesn’t remember it at all. Never is not the only place on Earth where the barrier between life and afterlife are thin, and Emmett has availed himself of all of them for varying periods of time and under many aliases. He is one of Never’s oldest residents, having been in the town since before it had a name. He is known for being gregarious and deeply loyal to his work for the Sheriff’s Department.

Liu Jun

Site Canon Character
Trader
Demon · 16-20s · Male
FC: Zhan Xiao
, ,
Site Canon Character
, ,

Liu Jun is the man you go to in Never when you need something no one else can get — Or no one else will get. A successful trader with a calm demeanor and a sharper eye, Jun runs his business out of a modest warehouse near the train tracks, where the scent of foreign spices mixes with gun oil, silk, and secrets. His inventory shifts like the wind, but his reputation never falters: If it exists, Jun can procure it, for a price.

As a demon sent to Never to quietly lure the desperate and the curious into Hell’s ledger, Jun provides: A rare tincture for a sick child, a forged deed, a cursed relic whispered about in legend. In doing so, he moves his customers one step closer to damnation. His contracts are written in flawless ink, sealed with handshakes that always seem to chill the room.

Homer Tracy

Site Canon Character
Owner of the Majestic Theater
Angel · 30s-50s · Male
FC: Walton Goggins
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Homer Tracy is the ever-smiling impresario of the Majestic, Never’s raucous, slightly ramshackle Vaudeville theater tucked between a gunsmith and a bakery on Pecos Ave. With a booming laugh that echoes through the rafters and a knack for finding talent in the unlikeliest places, Homer brings joy, spectacle, and a touch of the absurd to a town that often forgets to smile. He feeds the hungry out of the Majestic’s back door twice a day, no questions asked, and knows every name, every face, every trouble that passes through his ticket booth.

But beneath the greasepaint and good humor, Homer is serious about trying to gently shepherd lost spirits toward the light. He doesn’t preach, doesn’t scold, doesn’t judge. He believes in laughter as a kind of salvation, in shared meals as sacred, and in friendship as a divine act. Even demons get a warm hello and a clap on the back when they cross paths with Homer — He insists that anyone can change, and that Heaven always has room for one more.

Charles Four Rivers

Site Canon Character
Newspaperman
Angel · 30s-40s · Male
FC: Tokala Black Elk
, ,
Site Canon Character
, ,

Even before Satan’s rebellion, the angel who would eventually take the name Charles Four Rivers was possessed of a terrible curiosity. Created as a recording angel, he bent himself to the task of denoting the thoughts and deeds of men, as God commanded, but he could never find an entirely comfortable position in his work. He was meant to be content with what; he couldn’t stop himself from wondering why. Those questions proved troublesome, of course, as questions from angels always do, and when he finally crossed the border between observer of human nature and participant in human history, his own fall from divine grace was all but assured. Too clever to serve in heaven but too wholesome to languish in hell, he found himself trapped in the liminal spaces of reality. Never is hardly the worst place for a mostly-fallen angel to end up, and the human guise he’s chosen lets him use the skills God granted him at the universe’s inception.

Jo Dove

Prostitute
Human · 20s · Female
Played by Lyric
FC: Indya Moore

, , ,

Jo Dove was born into the wrong shape. She’s known that as long as she’s known anything, and almost as soon as she understood that fundamental fact, she learned how to hide it. Boys weren’t interested in fabrics. Boys didn’t pay attention to fashion. Most of all, boys didn’t cry when they got their hair cut short or got their face shoved into the mud or got a whipping by their papa for all those sins combined. Boys kept their chin up and said Yes’m and Nossir and did their chores and ate their scraps and were grateful, dammit, for every word that didn’t come with a slap. Smart boys kept their mouths shut and their eyes open, until they could steal enough money to disappear.

If boys-who-were-girls couldn’t steal enough, sometimes they found a way to make a deal, and they disappeared anyway. Jo’s deal put her in debt to a demon, but it also opened a door out of Mississippi and straight into a new life. Never might fall short of paradise, but it’s miles better than where she came from, and it brought her to the first taste of home she’s ever known in the arms of the Silk Rose and Madame Dellaphina Jones. She still has a debt to pay. Someday, the devil’s going to collect. But until then, she’ll make the best of this life with her voice and her body and all the charm the good Lord gave her.

Nettie Hogan, aka Lily

Site Canon Character
Prostitute
Human · 20s-30s · Female
FC: Zoë Kravitz
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Nettie Hogan — Known as Lily at the Pearl, the upscale gambling hall and brothel in Never — seems to glide effortlessly through the high-society world of gilded poker tables and expensive perfume. She’s a strikingly beautiful young woman with dark eyes that seem to hold the secrets of the whole town. Beneath her polished exterior, however, lies a heart that yearns for something more than the fleeting touches and whispered promises of men who don’t know her real name.

Though she’s carved out a place for herself in the Pearl’s glittering world, Nettie is no mere object of desire. She’s an artist at her core, with a mind full of stories, poems, and dreams of a love far more real than any she’s experienced. Her passions are hidden behind the mask of Lily, but she carries them with her always: The deep ache for romance, for a connection that isn’t bought or bargained for.

Boone Duning

Site Canon Character
Sherriff’s Deputy
Witch · 30s-40s · Male
FC: Adam Beach

Site Canon Character

Boone is a MEDICINE MAN WITCH.

Boone straddles Never’s two worlds with a quiet intensity. A sheriff’s deputy, he is known for his stoic demeanor, keen tracking skills, and an unsettling ability to “hear the dead wind” — a supernatural talent passed down through his mother’s bloodline. Though he keeps his craft hidden from most, whispers of Boone’s eerie intuition and uncanny luck haunt the town’s saloons and prayer circles alike. His most valuable possession is a charred silver pocket watch that once belonged to his late mentor. The watch ticks only in the presence of lies, and sometimes, when Boone holds it, it speaks with the voice of the dead man who gave it to him.

Alvin Lucas

Site Canon Character
Sherriff’s Deputy
Angel · 30s-40s · Male
FC: Alfonso Herrera
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Alvin Lucas serves as a steady, good-humored sheriff’s deputy, and is well-known for his easy charm and unshakable calm even in gunfire’s heat. Dependable and a loyal friend, he is also quietly but intensely dedicated to his true mission of gently coaxing restless spirits toward redemption before they can become something darker, something irreversible.

To aid him, Alvin carries a battered hymnal bound in faded leather — A relic that glows faintly under moonlight. The book doesn’t contain just hymns, but names. Names of the dead. Some are scratched out. Some still whisper. Each time Alvin helps a spirit find peace, a page turns on its own. But when a name appears in blood-red ink, it means the soul is tipping toward damnation and time is running out.

Alexis Leclerc

Site Canon Character
Railroad Ticket Agent
Angel · 30s-40s · Male
FC: Adam Driver
, ,
Site Canon Character
, ,

Word around town is that Mr. Leclerc will get you where you need to go. He’ll sell you a ticket with an unblinking stare and an indulgent smile, and depending on your reason for traveling, you may find his presence anywhere along the spectrum between oddly comforting and wildly unsettling. You might also find that his definition of where you need to go is different from yours, or that it changes somewhere along your way, and the destination on your ticket may change to match. Alexis is cheerfully untroubled about the possibility. If you’re meant to go somewhere–anywhere–in particular, a greater power will ensure that you get there eventually.

Either way, the rumors about people leaving town on round-trip tickets and never coming back, or coming back fundamentally changed? Probably true.

Ada Blaesy, aka Kitty

Site Canon Character
Prostitute
Witch · 20s-40s · Female
FC: Alicia Keys

Site Canon Character

Ada is a NAGUAL WITCH.

Ada Blaesy, known as Kitty at the Pearl, is a vision of beauty in the heart of Never’s wealthiest and most exclusive gambling hall. With a face and figure that seem to belong to the painted canvases of the world’s finest artists, Ada captivates every man who crosses her path. But what they don’t know is that behind the delicate features and soft-spoken charm lies a sharp mind, a practical heart, and a will of steel.

A cunning strategist in a world where appearances are everything, Ada plays her part with precision. Kitty is exactly who she needs to be to thrive in the Pearl’s high-stakes, high-society game. Her magic is as fluid and adaptable as the persona she wears. Her particular gift lies in shape-changing, a skill she has honed over the years to perfection. With a thought, she can become someone else entirely: Someone more suited to the whims of a client, someone who can slip through the cracks when danger looms, or someone who can disappear into the shadows when she wishes.

Though she wears the mask of a sultry courtesan, Ada knows the rules of Never’s dark underbelly all too well. She has learned to manipulate those around her without them ever realizing it, shifting her form and her intentions as easily as the moon shifts the tide. In a town where things are never quite what they seem, Ada keeps her secrets close. After all, it’s better to be a mystery than a pawn, and Kitty might be the perfect mask, but Ada Blaesy is the one who holds all the cards.
