"Are you th next hot thing ready to burst onto the scene?"
"Do you have a blossoming curiosity with how to make film?"
"Well, we here at LowemakStudios are here to help you with the next step in your career!"
Let's cut to brass tacks, shall we?
This alt is a testing ground for any potential employees or talent on the Lowemak Studios alt list. As such, it features characters that are not fully fleshed out yet that could fit in either the 'Talent' or 'Corporate Staff' categories. There are going to be some minor details, but overall these are blank slates and they are expendable in scenes they are in (note: can be 'permanently vored in that continuity', but unless otherwise abandonned or they graduate to full alt status they will not be outright removed). This also allows for some canon faces for NPCs in scenes involving characters from Lowemak in the event that canon fodder is needed.
Curious on how you can be an intern? While this list consists of the player's filler characters and premature alts for the setting, the intern title can also be used as a springboard for other alts to use in the Lowemak Studios setting. Check the main alt for more of a feel, but feel free to ask about more info as to how.
The Interns
These characters may change between their current version and any final iteration when/if they achieve alt status. Names, preferences, and positions can be altered.
Mikayla Waters
Character Quick Notes: Shy, but aggressive when pressed into a corner, Mikayla serves as an assistant to Maeven. Being the 'assistant's assistant' does have its perks. Most people that know better don't really mess with her, even if she does seem fun to tease, simply out of fear that she works for someone directly under the big boss. Believe it or not, though, she's strong enough to defend herself if needed and doesn't really need others to stand up for her, as those that push too hard to tease the girl will find out.

Diana Piotr
Character Quick Notes: Commanding, seemingly stoic, but with a soft side that underplays her stern appearance. Diana really wants to be in upper management, but takes her position as one of the 'veteran interns' rather seriously. She doesn't take any sort of guff from the talent and does well to make sure they don't press the other interns too far, though it can often result in her getting into trouble with the higher ups.
70/30 Pred/Prey Lean
Michelle Trinighast
Character Quick Notes: Michelle is actually half halfling, which results in her being just a tad shorter than Cindel. Despite seeming to hold a rather cozy and possibly even 'innocent' demeanor, she's actually the most knowledgable regarding the expansive library of content that Lowemak Studios has produced, and wants to be a director some day. As such, she's often daydreaming conecpts of films on the job, which can result in her getting into trouble and not paying attention to where she's going...

Leah "Ice Queen" Tadashi
Character Quick Notes: Leah is an actress 'on loan' from another company, though she's considering her options on fully transferring to Lowemak so she can have more creative freedom and take on a producing or directing role, herself. Always the dom on set, she sometimes has a hard time coping with the more friendly atmosphere of the company and has a tendency to mistreat staff, which has resulted in more than one instance of her being humbled quickly by an irate fluffer or even upper management. Still, her talent is hard to deny.
50/50 Pred/Prey Lean
Dyov Avarast
Character Quick Notes: Twin brother of Voyd and cousin of VoreWhoreSuzie, he's not technically on payroll. However, he tends to go where his sister and cousin goes, and he has very similar tendencies to Voyd. He's incredibly possessive, highly predatory, and tends to have an eye in particular for the cuter boys at the company, though he's not as picky as one may assume (being bi-Achillean). He also has a really bad habit of crashing company parties. Still, Cindel doesn't have him banned outright from shoots; he can sometimes prove amusing and "that ass do be fat."
80/20 Pred/Prey Lean
Leo Raithburn
Character Quick Notes: Leo's a fluffer, which in the Vorno business means exactly what it does in porn and a little extra. Keeping bodies in their prime sexual condition for a scene or offering himself up as a meal to help pad out a belly for the money shot is just standard faire for him. He's really friendly with the talent, too, making him an earnest candidate for being hired on a permanent basis.

Skyla Hiamaru
Image Generated with help from History. Thanks, Leigh!
Character Quick Notes: Alternate Reality descendant of Rodo (as such, the character is a Nekomahji like both him and Axel). She serves as the company's magical logistics. If there's something needed for a shoot or for company means and it's not been purchased (and Cindel doesn't have the time to produce it magically or the others don't want to bother her), her summoning magic can work to fill in the gaps. Unfortunately, her tedencies as a descendant of royalty and the occasional mistreatment she suffers by others that assume her to just be a 'magic cure all' sometimes lead to her misusing her magic and causing havoc both in office and on set. Utterly mischievous.

Sahara Kleo
Image Generated with help from History. Thanks, Leigh!
Character Quick Notes: Current Head of Human Resources, on loan from Lowemak Loveshop Incorporated until either the position is filled by someone else or she is shifted here permanently. She cares tremendously for everyone at the company and tries to be friendly with all of the people in both the office and amongst the talent and set crews. She actually can be a little too friendly at times, leading to full-body tail massages being a method through which she tries to de-escalate situations and consumption (usually orally and via unbirth) as a means of her removing problematic employees from situations until they calm down. Her digestive processes are incredibly slow, making her arguably the safest and the only member of staff whom participates actively in endo, though Cindel has brought down the hammer regarding policy: digestion is a suitable form of reprimand and she needs to get used to it. Absolutely butts heads with Aundrea, as the latter seems to take HR matters into the scope of her duties as the CFO.
80/20 Pred/Prey Lean, One of the few to participate in both Endo and Unbirth
Naki Tomago
Image Generated with help from History. Thanks, Leigh!
Character Quick Notes: Often dubbed 'The Enforcer' by the staff, she's often the security detail both at the office and at the main studio. The only other demon on staff under Cindel at the time of her hiring, this Oni tends to have to deal with the occasional outside threat (monster attacks, creepers, the like) as well as when Skyla gets a bit out of hand with one of her tricks. All of this defending works up a massive appetite for both meat and alcohol. She has a soft spot for the boys amongst both talent and staff, and is more apt to see female employees as emergency food first. It doesn't mean that the lads are totally immune, though. Praticularly butts heads with Dyov and Voyd.
90/10 Pred/Prey Lean
Kiva Kim
Image Generated with help from History. Thanks, Leigh!
Character Quick Notes: Despite her size and imposing mass of tendrils, this cecaelia is a lower ranked worker in the office and... Well, she's the office klutz. Poor Kiva still doesn't have her land legs, and as such she often stumbles through the offices, bumping into people and occasionally scooping them into her tentacles as she tries to get balance. Sometimes she just lets them go and apologizes. Other times, well, they end up lost in the mass and slurped up as a quick snack. It doesn't help that she tends to panic eat, to boot. The only reason Cindel probably keeps her around is in hopes that she may switch from her office position to more typical talent, but, if not, there's always the Vara approach to getting that handled.
70/30 Pred/Prey Lean
Doborah 'Dob Dob' Giganobs
Character Quick Notes: The deadpan stare queen and personal trainer to the Office Staff and Talent alike, Doborah (also known as 'Dob' or by her proper tribal name, 'Dob Dob Giganobs') spends most of her time away from the camera, but will occasionally indulge her superiors when they really need someone of her height and proclivities. She's not gonna be excited about it or anything, though. Unenthusiastic but ridiculously strong for her size, and elastic to boot, she'd make for a good bit of talent herself on the regular if not for the fact that she's really here mostly for a paycheck. All the same, she still vibes with Editor_Ro, and occasionally spots a goblin around that looks oddly like her ancestor, Grendel, poking around the nexus on her usual jaunts.

Neridian - Talent for Lowemak Industries, currently working alongside Editor_Ro and ViTummin (scenes in progress).
History (Leigh) - Current newhire, locations logistics (scene in progress)
InternMonica - Shy intern girl often bullied by Cindel directly.
