Characters

Lacy Rae – This young beauty may seem like a typical Malibu Barbie-type girl, but she’s much more. She is an excellent volleyball player and dancer who excelled in her geopolitical studies to graduate at the top of her class with a major in Journalism. Her very nature is to always look ahead which others sometimes misconstrue as impatience or impetuousness. The daughter of the film star Johnny Rae, Lacy has always used her family’s wealth to better herself and give back to others.

Liv Rae – An orphan in Kenya when she first met the film star Johnny Rae and his wife Talia, the Rae’s adopted Liv after two battling guerrilla contingents destroyed her hometown. Liv is only a few months younger than Lacy. After an initial rocky period, the two very different girls formed a lifelong bond. Liv is a thoughtful and careful planner, very emotive, and sensitive to the needs of others. Although she is a quick thinker and highly adaptable, Liv would much prefer to mentally strategize any plan before springing into action. Liv is a top swimmer and majored in communication arts at UCLA.

Mr. Eden – The mysterious benefactor of Lacy and Liv as well as the caretaker of the Anaya legend, Mr. Eden is a mysterious yet powerful Ethiopian businessman. It has not yet been revealed how Lacy and Liv came to know the mysterious Mr. Eden. Ties between Eden Holdings, LTD and Johnny Rae’s film company, Sun Rae Pictures, have been rumored but not confirmed.

Anaya – A mythological goddess whose history is not limited to a single nation or people. As a cross-continental figure, Anaya is known for both her rewarding generosity and her ferocious vengeance. Legend has it that she manifests herself in gold or ebony, doling out blessings on the innocent and pure of heart while wreaking vengeance on the wicked.

Johnny Rae - The quintessential Hollywood action hero made good, Johnny Rae now devotes his time to Sun Rae productions. On the cusp of his fifties, Johnny is in remarkable shape and invites comparisons to Robert Redford.

Lumusi Okoye- Leader of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Born in Sudan, Lumusi is often called Lumus. Lumus has three scars running from his left ear diagonally across his left cheek, chin, and throat from a leopard attack when he was younger. A product of child soldiery, stories say that Lumus murdered his own parents with a machete at the behest of a Ugandan Warlord who had kidnapped Lumus from his family only two weeks prior. Lumus murdered the warlord he once served and scattered the remnants of the warlord’s army before seizing power in the region. He now deals in slavery, drugs, weapons, and anything else that brings him wealth.

Richaud Moreau – After learning the ropes of his uncle’s cartel, Richaud decided the organization could be put to better use. Moreau betrayed his uncle, had his uncle arrested, and then took over the cartel his uncle had assembled. Moreau turned to arms trafficking among other things, depending on what offered the easiest, heftiest profit.

The leader of his own cartel and one of the few outsiders given free passage throughout PLA territory, Richaud and Lumus are uneasy partners in many things.
