Geddes Line Profiles (Series 2)

What with yesterday having seen the publication of the final episode of Geddes Line, I thought it’d be nice to showcase all the profiles I did for all the characters who made their debut in this series. This post covers all the characters officially introduced in the second half of the series.

KAREN BAUER - General manager of Wall2Wall Security Solutions. Very pleasant, amiable, and a bit of a nerd. German Shepherd. (Episode 15)

HAROLD MEAD - Known professionally as just Harry. Burglar. The brains (relatively speaking) of a two-man operation. Weasel. (Episode 15)

FREDRICK MCGINNIS - Known professionally as just Fred. Burglar. The muscle in a two-man operation. Wolf. (Episode 15)

DYLAN RHYS - The father of Sam Rhys, and the current owner of Rhys Interstellar, a vast business conglomerate  spanning the Sol System, and surrounding districts. Welsh Foxhound. (Episode 17 - previously mentioned in Episode 12)

MYFANWY RHYS - Dylan's wife. Sam's mother. Something of a socialite in her own right. Arguably the true brains of Rhys Interstellar. Welsh Foxhound. (Episode 17 - previously mentioned in Episode 12)

METIN BALIK - Former street urchin turned revolutionary turned corporate hitman. Panther. (Episode 17)

TEMEL KIZARTMASI - Metin's right-hand man. Does all the heavy manual labour. Dog. (Episode 17)

CAPTAIN NATALIE COAL - Now-widowed wife-with-benefits of Captain Darkblade. A fairly notorious space pirate in her own right. Captain of the pirate cruiser Flare of the Phoenix. White Shepherd. (Episode 18)

LAWRENCE ASPINALL - Former regional secretary for Movados Interstela (one of the largest civilian transport unions in the Galaxy). A distant uncle of Damaris Moss. Red Fox. (Episode 19)

ADAM BRIDGER - Lawrence's opposite number down in the Core Systems. Very much still employed in his position. Border Collie. (Episode 19)

NORIKO MORI - Older sister of Kyoko Geddes (and therefore also Alasdair’s sister-in-law). Manga writer and artist. Raccoon. (Episode 20)

VALDIS WESTERWAL - Wife of Noriko Mori. Avant-garde artist. Just a bit strange in general, really. Silver Vixen. (Episode 20)

WS RHONA RANKIN - A police sergeant working in Kyle Abbin. Doesn’t tend to have much to do in this relatively crime-free town, but always on the alert, on the off chance that one should occur. Border Collie. (Episode 22)

FRANCO VALLONE - Proprietor of Franco's Traditional Fish Bar up at Tiree Outpost. Possible former mob boss as well. Weasel. (Episode 23)

ELETTRA VALLONE - Franco's wife. Just as bitter and ill-tempered as her husband. Weasel. (Episode 23)

ROSALVA VALLONE (alias ROSIE) - Daughter of Franco and Elettra. Much more open-minded and pleasant than the two of them put together. Weasel. (Episode 23)

GERRY CALDER - Proprietor of Calder's Takeaway, also up at Tiree Outpost. Much better at business than Franco, particularly when it comes to customer relations. Fox. (Episode 23)

JUDITH CALDER - Gerry's wife. Comes from a more new-age background. Doesn't approve of much of the food her husband sells, but still supports him anyway. Red Vixen. (Episode 23)

ELVIS CALDER - Son of Gerry and Judith, and potential heir to the fortunes of Calder's Takeaway. Not very good at standing up for himself - his only means of rebelling against his parents is secretly seeing Rosie Vallone on the side. Fox. (Episode 23)

NINA SPEKTOR - Wife of Vladimir. Mother of Veronika, and now grandmother of Natasha. Doesn’t overtly share any of her family’s criminal ties, but still a rather shady character in her own right. (Episode 24 - previously mentioned in Episode 55 of SPCM)

DR FRANCINE TIERNEY - The head doctor of the maternity ward onboard the hospital ship Loch Lomond. Probably the most qualified out of anyone in her ward. Border Collie. (Episode 25)

NURSE ROSALIE MCCABE - One of the nurses under Dr Tierney's command. Slightly more interested in the equipment than in her patients. Scottish Wildcat. (Episode 25)

NURSE SUSIE CAMPBELL - Another of Dr Tierney's nurses. Tends to pay more attention to the patients than Nurse Rosalie does. Rabbit. (Episode 26)

DR ROBERTSON - Another doctor onboard the Loch Lomond, though which field of healthcare he works in is uncertain. Doesn’t actually appear in the series - his part in Episode 26 was cut after the profile was done, and replaced with one final appearance by the author’s squirrel alter-ego. Raccoon.

Strike while the iron’s hot...

I'll be honest, I struggled for ages on what to call this week's episode, focusing as it does on industrial action. Then, quite by chance, I came across the term Wildcat Strike, and not only did it describe exactly what happens in the episode, but it also tied in neatly with the characters being animals (well, sort of - the striking character is a fox, not a wildcat). Anyway, as usual, you can find it on either deviantART or FictionPress:

Read and enjoy, with discretion as always.
