I've come up with character info for the squad in Freaksitter. I think I'll be writing that idea, instead.

Name - squad nickname/s (Freak's nickname)

Ashley Gantrell (Rowan)
1 a) His hair was blond when he was younger. It's turned chestnut-brown by now. b) He's always wanted to be part of a close family. He joined the police because he hoped they'd be a substitute. c) His first girlfriend really liked apple-scented soap. Smelling apples still makes him nostalgic.
2 He's a follower. If he was in a group who were against Freaks, he wouldn't even question it - he'd just take it as gospel.
3 If he can help, he will, regardless of how much effort it needs from him.

Charlotte Beacham - Charlie (Birch)
1 a) When she was a teenager, she went through a period of insisting that her name was 'Charlene'. She's secretly terrified that the squad are going to find out. b) She was really clumsy when she was younger. She started martial arts because of that, not for self-defence. c) She has a pet dog at home - a rescued Stafford-cross.
2 She can be incredibly callous, with no understanding of extenuating circumstances. Black-and-white worldview.
3 She's meticulous. However minor the information, she can find it. However complicated the procedure, she can perform it.

Stefan Castrelli (Nachos)
1 a) He speaks Mexican Spanish like a native. European Spanish - no chance. b) He's had no contact with the European branch of his family since he turned down an arranged marriage with the daughter of his father's best friend. c) He used to think that he'd be a male model, or possibly a gigolo. Sometimes, he's convinced that he's ended up in someone else's life by mistake.
2 He thinks of himself as a lady's man. Three women in a week - slow week.
3 He's quick-thinking and adaptable, and has morals. (Just not about sex.)

Willow Montrey (Catkin/Mount Catkin)
1 a) She's always wanted to be a police officer. Other girls were playing princess - she was playing cops and robbers. b) If it comes up, she'll admit that her first boyfriend was a shoplifter, and they broke up when she found out. It's a lie. She broke up with him because he slept with a friend of hers. c) She's a really good figure skater. As good as you can be at a weekend hobby, anyway.
2 She refuses to admit that she's ever in the wrong. She can perform wonders with confusing arguments and fuzzy logic.
3 She sticks to her morals - she doesn't take bribes or blackmail her superiors.

Olivier Rassault (Dove)
1 a) His favourite relative is his mildly-senile grandmother. He is quite possibly the only one of the family who knows the senility is just an act. b) He's technologically impaired, and severely embarrassed by it. c) He loves cooking, and it shows in his waistline.
2 He's lazy, and kind of a slob.
3 He can get almost anyone to think of him as an uncle-figure.

Vincent Marsh (Tailor)
1 a) He has a crossdressing kink. He's pretty sure this is what Freak's nickname for him refers to (he's right), and he's grateful that it's not more obvious. b) One of his schoolfriends developed into a Freak. Every time he hears about a Freak, he vaguely wonders if it's her. c) He prefers days when the sky is overcast and the rain is like a mist to days when the sun is shining brightly and it's hot.
2 He's a hypocrite.
3 Magnificent Bastard, anyone?

Barbara Daggeton - Cap, Cap'n, Barb (Top Hat)
1 a) She used to get teased about being a 'Barbie girl'. Her brother still brings it up. b) It's known-but-not-said that she'd probably be Chief of Police by now - if she was male. c) Her first-time lover was female. They're still good friends. She's bi, but prefers women.
2 She's bitter.
3 She's willing to accept and allow unorthodox methods and people; she doesn't stick to the rules blindly.
