Cast of Urban Samurai (subject to change)
The idea is that Urban Samurai will form part of a group of tales called the Chronicles of Niamh - a young librarian who is chosen to take the place of a human representative in the Librarian Guard of the Otherworlde Library - a cathedral sized building in a parallel plane on existance to the mortal realms, in the realm of the fae - of elves, dwarves, centaurs, unicorns etc.
She orginally is confused by the whole thing, expecting to be hallucinating when she sees Legolas (etc) - but waits to find out that most of the mortal realm's authors find ways into the Otherworlde, but don't realise it. There are a group of librarian staff who protect the library and the mortal plane from the dangers in the old books of magick (where literally the pages spring to life) - Think of a building the size of liverpool catherdral and your on the right tracks.
Here are the current ideas for the set up of the library and the cast
Groups:
Cast: Read, Niamh's friends / people she knows (who'd pop up frequently in any stories.)
There are also a group of people she knows from her home (read england - potentially a mixture of Newcastle, Leeds, London ... *shrugs*)
Demons / Known Monsters from the books of the library
