The Cast

Moto : Originally intended as an Idoru, (but without the singing ability.) Moto ended up with her own comic strip instead. She charts my lack-lustre life renting a very Green Room in Liverpool.

She doesn't get out much.

An idoru is a virtual, computer-created, media star. The idea is explored in the novel, Idoru, by science-fiction writer William Gibson.

Quote from online dictionary http://whatis.techtarget.com/

Uberich : His name is a reference to what Sigmund Freud called the Uber-Ich, or in English, the Super Ego, the part of the mind that acts as a conscience to the Ego. Being in essence a conscience, he is invisible, but always there. He's also the voice that mocks you when you're acting like an idiot, or takes the p*ss when you're being pretentious. People ought to listen to him more often (but perhaps not too much.)

Chinese Dragon : Everyone likes the Chinese Dragon; well who wouldn't, since he brings good luck.
Having said that, you can't go asking him to help you win the lottery, he's a very busy dragon and he has to prioritise. For the most part, he tries to help children, pushing them out of the way of speeding cars, deflecting bullets fired by gun toting idiots, that sort of thing.
I'm sorry to say, he's rushed off his feet in Liverpool, so cut him some slack if you can.

StressBag : one of life's inconveniences, he's always lurking round the corner and almost impossible to get rid of. He wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so damn lippy.

Though I'm loathe to admit it, this entire website wouldn't have got off the ground without his help. But don't tell him that, or he'll become even more insufferable than he is already.

Depression : Sooner or later, everyone gets a visit from Depression. Don't feel sorry for him, he may look small and pathetic now, but he has a nasty habit of sneaking into people's lives and before you even realise he's there, he's already grown too big and heavy to be booted out without help. There are a million and one ways to deal with him, different for every individual. Make him work for his keep if necessary, don't let him get too big and heavy. If he turns up on your doorstep uninvited, sock 'im one from me wouldya!
