Slick Henry A former car thief who served time in a chemo-penal unit that destroyed his short-term memory through induced Korsakov's syndrome. Now living in an abandoned factory on Dog Solitude in the Jersey rustbelt, he builds enormous kinetic sculptures - the Judge, the Witch, the Corpsegrinder, and the Investigators - as a way of processing his trauma. A large, strong man with grease-stained hands and a gentle nature, he becomes the reluctant guardian of Bobby Newmark's comatose body. | Member |
A thin, intense autodidact and fringe cyberspace theorist who lives in the upper loft of Factory on Dog Solitude. Obsessed with discovering the Shape of cyberspace - its overall total form - he dresses in black leather trimmed with jet-black beads and has large pale eyes, full lips, and a blond roostertail hairstyle. Antisocial and driven, he steals electricity from the Fission Authority and spends days on end with his decks and holo projectors.

Little Bird A very tall, skeletal young man from the white Jersey stringtowns who lives at Factory with Slick and Gentry. He has a distinctive hairstyle with lacquered wings of brown hair and wears a curtain of animal bones, feathers, and rusty watches around his neck. Ignorant and prejudiced but dutiful, he maintains Factory's water supply and hunts rabbits in the Dog Solitude rustbelt. | Member |
Cherry Chesterfield A young woman from Cleveland with a lapsed medical technician's certificate, hired by Kid Afrika to tend to Bobby Newmark's comatose body. She wears multiple oversized leather jackets, has bleached hair, and displays quick, competent hands when performing medical tasks. Practical and sharp-tongued, she grows close to Slick Henry during their ordeal at Factory and eventually leaves with him for Cleveland. | Member |
