Character Profiles - SBD

Bashiri, Karim
  b. 2005 (Aurora, Colorado)

  Writer, atheist, and student of many disciplines. Author of a cute webnovel about a girl from 90s PNW who gains time powers and becomes the Mother of Science. The transcriptions and intertextual commentary of , or, A sparrow bathes in dust are his, but the story, as it were, is Ms. Marchant's telling.

  Not one to enjoy the spotlight.

Marchant, Amelia "Sable"
  b. 1996 (Tacoma, Washington)

  Made it to Moab in 2036 with a crew of plastic-heads that had dwindled from eighteen to seven. Stayed there a year or so before the final three of them decided to head south, vaguely aiming for the Four Corners. They set up shop just west of Monticello and had a pretty good operation going. Plenty of water. Looks like Sable was the only one who could handle the upper limit, though. She's been here, alone--drug gardening, eating snakes, watching for customers on highway 191--for a good six months or so. Had recently started on an autobiography when she finds Karim.

  Back in '29, one of the old Burner crew gave her the moniker after an Amelia-from-Tacoma character in a webnovel he was reading. Marchant never read it, but the name stuck.
