Okay, this is my terribly incomplete crew file for the Grover's Corners, posted for Rob Kelk's use in his RPG as well as a character reference for folks' writing.
Anything people need more detail on, feel free to contact me.
All ages as of 2012.
Bob Schroeck
49 years old, but looks younger. 5'8", 240 lbs. Grey-blue eyes. Short blond hair with hints of strawberry, thin on top but not gone; reddish sideburns and mustache. Wears glasses with very thin, bronze-colored frames. Usually in jeans and T-shirts or polo shirts. A clip on his belt over his front right pocket holds two rings of keys which usually jingle when he walks, but he can move with surprising silence when he needs to.
Known Quirks: Has no patience for long-winded or meandering comments or explanations. Pop culture/trivia maven. (Building the GC, though, has kept him out of the loop for the last few years, though, so he's a little outdated at the moment.) Has a powerful temper with a long, slow-burning fuse. Irrepressible punster. Homebrewer. Cook.
Fandoms: B5, ST:TOS and ST:TNG, general (non-hentai) anime, Heinlein, Spider Robinson, Firefly
Peggy Schroeck
Also 49 years old and similarly younger-looking. 5'7", 200 lbs. Hazel eyes. Mahogany hair with obvious auburn highlights, a bit longer than shoulder-length and wavy. Also wears glasses, gold half-frames. Like her husband a jeans-and-T-shirt person.
Known Quirks: Soft-spoken and almost inaudible unless she's annoyed or worse. Has a tendency to meander verbally; poor memory for the names of anything, and frequently sprinkles her sentences with vague placeholders like "that thing," "that place", "that guy", often prompting conversational tangents focused on finding out who or what she's referring to. Easily frustrated and tends toward pessimism. Has an unpredictable temper that tends to hit everything in range when it goes off.
Fandoms: B5, CSI, Law and Order, Ranma, Firefly
Joe Avins
46 years old. (He's about my height and weight, but I don't know the exact numbers.) Black hair, glasses, a bit jowly, often has a heavy five-o'clock shadow. Tends to wear slacks and dress-style shirts.
Known Quirks: Aerospace engineer. Always carries a Palm Pilot which includes in its programs a Texas Instruments simulator. Refuses to listen to or discuss details of a Star Trek movie in advance of actually seeing it. Homebrewer. Cook. Like Kat has a monumental calm in the face of almost everything.
Fandoms: Trek, some anime
Kat Avins
46 years old. Earth mother type with straight waist-length blonde hair, approximately 5'7". Green eyes.
Known Quirks: Belldandy made flesh -- soft-spoken without being inaudible, open, friendly, sympathetic, a natural listener. Able to keep serene and open-minded in almost situation, no matter how stressful -- and even her stressing out is surprisingly low-key and quiet. A multitalented musician who made a living as a music therapist (and who made sure all her clients had referrals to other professionals before the GC launched).
Fandoms:
Scott Pinkham
46 years old. Close-cropped blond hair, blue-eyed, heavyset, about 5'7". Deceptively "teddy bear" in appearance.
Known Quirks: Former Army Reserve. Homebrewer. Gourmet cook with an international repertoire. Fiercely loyal to those he loves. Quick temper.

Known Quirks:
Fandoms:

Attila Imre
42 (?) years old. 5'6", thin, wiry. Bald, black hair where he's kept it at all, olive complexion, mustache.
Known Quirks: Trainer of police dogs. Former NYC street gang member with extensive knife-fighting skills; carries several blades on him at all times. Speaks Hungarian. Heavy smoker. Speech is thoroughly laced with profanity.
Fandoms: Naruto, Bleach, Final Fantasy, some Trek
Helen Imre
46 years old. 5'9", somewhat heavy build. Chestnut brown hair, long, usually pulled back in a ponytail.
Known Quirks: Somewhat abrasive, with a sharp tongue and a sarcastic wit. Professional librarian. Something of an anime snob -- the only anime she likes at a given time are usually those which haven't hit the mass market in North America yet. The "first adopter" of the group.
Fandoms:
John Freiler
46 years old. 5'9", former fit build starting to flesh out. Black hair, mustache (vaguely "Gomez Addams" look).
Known Quirks: Homebrewer. Woodworker. Engineer, with at least one patent to his name. Self-taught in framing, roofing and other construction skills.
