Sarah's Life

    The Resort as its often called by those who frequent the ground is a three hundred acre resort dedicated to hunters. Founded by Jen and Will Raining shortly after Jen was confined to a wheelchair the resort quickly grew and was built by the hunters themselves.  It started out as two small cabins, one that had housed the Raining family and the other which they allowed guests to stay in while between hunts. When Jen realized hunting was no longer a personal option she turned to her younger brother to over see the finances and help her contact the people she needed. It occurred to her one night while drinking and talking with Gus Booth, a long time friend, that such a place was needed to house hunters between hunts and while they were healing up.
    It didn’t take as long as she’d expected to get the help needed to throw the project together and within five years the resort consisted of  “The Big House” which had rooms for the family, a bar, vast library frequently said to be the largest in the hunters’ world, and a large gym for training, and over 20 two-three bedroom cabins. Each cabin has a kitchen and small living room, along with the bedrooms and one bathroom. The cabins are adequately furnished and has two sets of bunk beds per bedroom. There is a firing range, along with a garage for the car repairs and maintenance.  Supplies are sold in abundance at The Resort, which was named for the founder’s forefathers who had hunted for generations before them.

As portrayed by Lou Diamond Phillips (Yes I know he looks too old for Mack I'm working on finding a younger picture of him)
    Jasper Raining is the oldest of Charity and Red Raining Cloud's three children. His grandparents died shortly after his birth leaving his 14 year old uncle, Bane, in Charity and Red's care. Bane and Jasper grew up more like brothers than uncle and nephew. They were rarely apart and when Bane announced that he was going to start hunting on his own, 16 year old Jasper clattered to his uncles side creating a rip in the family. Jasper and Bane traveled the US and Canada, making no distinction between the two countries as their fathers and grandfathers had never done. They didn't give much mind to anything but hunting it was their mission in life, their one obsession. Jasper was barely 18 when Bane took Elliot Darrel in and trained him. Jasper disliked Mr. Darrel because he talked down to him and never tried to hide it. In fact Jasper disliked most "First generation hunters". Hunting was in his blood it was something his family had done since long before the Europeans had come to North America bringing not just disease with them but more than their fair share of evil.
    The Winchesters were a thorn in his side from the first time John showed up on his father's doorstep. John was good, he hunted as if he'd done nothing else is whole life and many hunters revered him. Jasper hated that John kept to himself, that he only let a small elite group of hunters into his world and even more infuriating was that Bane and Jasper weren't allowed in that group. He scoffed when he'd heard John had brought two Ohio girls to his father, they would never amount to anything. He was intrigued when Bobby Singer sent his niece Mackenzie to join the girls though. Jasper had met Mackenzie once when she was only three or four and knew that her uncle often boasted about the girl though she was rarely seen by hunters.
    Jasper was sure his life couldn't be effect by the family he'd left behind until Bane was taken by a leithfold they'd been hunting. The leithfold hadn't been seen in the United States in years and how to kill it was difficult to find. Before dying Bane sent Jasper to fetch his father for help, giving him orders to stay with his mother not to come back. Jasper did as instructed until hearing that Bane had been killed, when he could no longer sit by. While with his mother and younger sister Jen, Jasper had met Autumn and Athena Daemon along with their fellow trainie Mackenzie. The three girls were off hunting under Elliot Darrel most the time but the last time they returned he managed to talk Mackenzie into allowing him to instruct her further. Mackenzie agreed and the two set off, his secret plan to avenge his uncle's death. Neither of his siblings bothered contacting him when their parents died, instead he found out through Mackenzie who was still in contact with the Daemons. The rift in the family was only growing. A few months later a sobbing woman called Mackenzie to tell her that Will, Jasper's younger brother, had gone missing. Jasper was quick back to Jen's side, his family was in trouble and as the oldest it was his job to protect them.
    Jen not only refused his help but banned him from her little resort. Instructing him to "stay away unless an ass full of rock salt" was what he wanted. He and Mackenzie split up then. The realization that he was so distanced from his family that they would disown him finally setting in on the young woman he'd grown to love. It was the longest six months of his life before he ran into her licking wounds at a hunters haven in Maryland.  The two made up quickly and this time he was set on not losing her so he finally broke and married Mackenzie Singer. The two took to cleaning, it was below their skill level but the havens weren't creating enough newbies to do the jobs so someone had to.  Jasper and Mack are currently sweeping the country clean from the east coast to the west and rarely make it out to The Resort, though Jen has since lifted her ban.

As portrayed by Mandy Moore (remember guys there's a 10 year age gap)

    Mackenzie Singer grew up with her father in prison for murder and her mother insisting she never speak with his family. Her dad being a jail bird tended to put her off as one of the bad girls in school, a role she didn't mind playing. Detention was like a second home to her, and all the bad boys knew they'd have a good time with her keeping their clothes on. After graduating she went to find her uncle, Bobby. She just had to know what was so horrible about her dad's family. Bobby sat her down soon as she found him and demanded to know everything there was to know about her and skirted her questioning for weeks when John Winchester arrived and blew it. Bobby explained to her that her father had been imprisoned for murders he committed while possessed by a demon and that her father along with himself were hunters. She begged for him to train her, she wanted to follow in her father's footsteps, do him proud. Instead for four years Bobby taught her very little about hunting and more about cars. Mackenzie had no problem with getting dirty, and hunters frequented Singer Salvage Yard fixing up their rides. She would trade her work for their training and started her hunting under the hoods of a dozen different cars. When John brought news to Bobby that Red Raining Cloud was training two girls about Mackenzie's age for him Bobby finally caved and sent her off.
    Mackenzie made fast friends with Autumn and Athena Daemon. The three of them were passed on to Elliot Darrel, a kind man and good teacher. Elliot taught the girls as much as he knew and they excelled with him. They nick named themselves Duck's Angels, Elliot becoming Duck. They hunted underneath him for nearly a year before he had to go solo again. Autumn and Athena wanted to focus on the tracking end of things, though Mack thought it was more of Autumn's idea than Teenie's. She had no interest in tracking, she liked the action too much and didn't desire going solo bad enough to give it up like the Daemons. So when Jasper Raining came in from nowhere with the offer to continue her training she agreed. The two slipped off in the middle of the night to avoid all the drama that would be stirred up if they went public with their plans. Somewhere along the way they became more than teacher and student and the near ten year age difference meant nothing to them. Though their relationship was always full of fireworks and more often than she'd like to admit she wanted to walk away from him, she loved him unconditionally. They broke up for six months but life without him was much harder than she thought.  Not long after they got married and started a new mission to clean the country's frequently haunted sites: hospitals, nursing homes, ect...

    Will Raining  is the youngest of three, in a family of hunters. He grew up hearing about the evil his family had conquered and the darkness it still had left to face. While his older brother Jasper and sister Jenifer loved everything there was about hunting, he’d much rather be in the house with his mother doing the research, or patching up worn out clothing, cooking dinners, he liked the homey things in life, and those thing can’t be found with a gun tucked in your waist band and a shovel in your hands as you dig up so bitch who decided she needed to come back and kill people.  Jasper didn’t stay around too long taking off with their uncle and Will found himself forced into the family business leaving behind a tearful mother and angry sister.
    “Hunting is mans work!” his father barked so often when he’d ask why Jen wasn’t allowed to hunt. Will and Red didn’t get along very well at the best of times, but things were made easier on both of them when eight year old  Marc Lyming was suddenly in their care. Marc was three years younger than Will but the two still became fast friends. Marc knew what was out there because his mother had hunted vampires, while his dad had fled the picture before he was born. Will was barely 19 when he packed himself and Marc, who by this point was more like his right hand than a friend, and left for the nearest college that would take him. He just couldn’t take hunting anymore, not since one of those things had killed his mother. He studied journalism, for two years before a phone call came that dragged him back into the world of hunting. Jen had fallen down an elevator shaft and was in the hospital, not likely to ever wake up.
    Marc and Will sat by her side day and night for two months before she woke. They rarely made it back to Montana to check in but he knew his father had taken in two girls not too far from his own age and was training them to hunt. It wasn’t right that he had left his own daughter on her own to learn the ways of hunting but would open his home and hunting knowledge to two complete strangers. As soon as Jen woke and was able to tell them what had happened Will was gone again he had to seek revenge. Jen had  been the only one in his family to support him when he wanted to do something other than hunt. She was the only one that understood how hard it was to go against their parents. She was worth hunting.
    He arrived to clean up his sister’s hunt only to find a broken man in the middle of a conflict he’d later  know too well.  Will had found his sister’s fiancé a part of her life that she’d neglected to fill anyone else in on. He wasted no time in brining Gus back to Montana where he was welcomed into the family with open arms. Will returned to hunting as if he’d never stopped, Marc always at his side.  He had just finished up a hunt and was crossing state lines putting distance between them and their criminal activity when his phone rang. The girls his dad had trained up well enough to be tracking on their own needed help.  Marc split going back to do research and  help Jen and Gus set up the bar they’d just built.
    The moment he laid eyes on the trackers he knew he was done for. He jumped in and found that they had the situation under better control than his father had led him to believe. Autumn, the older sister, was getting in good with the werewolf pack, while Athena  planned  their strategies. Will was rather taken with the Barbie doll huntress, Athena. They hit it off quickly and it wasn’t long before they were hot and heavy.  The three of them, accompanied by Marc from time to time,  were rarely apart. He had a lot to teach the girls and they were good and willing students. Until the leithfold came. After being shot through the chest in his first real encounter with the shadow shroud he fled from the hunter doctor, Sage, to family friends. He bounced around healing and hunting to the best of his ability. But the physical wounds of the heart heal much fast than the emotional and he never did stop loving Athena. He’d decided he wanted her as his wife and soon as it was possible he’d be with her again.

  as portrayed by Ashley Hartman (when better image become available this will change)

    Athena grew up in her sister's shadow. Never believing she was a pretty or smart or talented as the older Daemon who worshiped her. Autumn's friends treated Athena like the greatest toy in the world, often doting on her just to toss her aside when something more interesting came along. When her mother fell ill Athena looked to her sister for guiding, and found the solid unmoving rock that she would cling to in the years that followed. While her sister seemed to be the center of all the world's drama Athena was the good ole small town girl. She played soccer whenever a league would admit her, with her sister's short fuse she got in a lot of fights. In Jr. High she made the cheer leading team but promptly quit after throwing up on the lead cheer leader.
    Taking her sister's cues she pretended the abuse wasn't going on in their home. But where Autumn allowed men to dominate her and point her where they wanted her Athena dominated men. Boys were toys and she treated them likewise. She went through boyfriends fast and left them in pieces. She was the hottest thing in her class and used it to get what she wanted. She didn't bother with the teachers because she had the smarts to keep them out of her way. When Huston started showing interest she jumped for it. He and his twin, Hudson, had spent the summer with their grandparents and while they were away Athena came into herself. She had one summer that could be considered her awkward stage and as she came out Huston showed back up. She flirted with him not caring if anyone noticed. No one paid her any attention anyway so what did it matter? They were far more involved than anyone knew when he declared at the graduation party that he'd be running away with her for the summer and return her only so she could attend school. Typically no one saw her crumble and fall apart when he died.
    She crashed through high school with all the confidence her sister had lacked and landed herself a place on the social map. When Autumn came home from college to get married and settle down into the nothingness that was the lifestyle of the local wives Athena prodded her. She wanted out and knew her sister would let herself die in Pinecrest. She was way past ready to run when Billy-Jack threw Autumn through a wall. She adored John Winchester, he was the father she'd never had and could make Autumn smile and start to heal. Athena obeyed every order John gave her and fell in love with hunting. She found herself at Raining Cloud's Hunters Resort, under the wing of Red Raining Cloud she excelled. In her spare time she illustrated for Autumn's books and the two made a hard to beat paring though it was hardly children who read their books. Teenagers seemed to like not having to do a lot of reading and still getting a morbid story.
    When Red sent the Daemon girls out to track a couple of rogue werewolves Athena had no idea that this would be her first hunt and bring her to the first man who was worth taking her time with. They quickly found themselves in a position where waiting for back-up wasn't possible and they leaped into the hunting. When back-up finally came it was Will Raining, Red's youngest son, the two of them hit it off from the start. Being with Will made her feel like she had never felt, while being with Huston had been satisfying being with Will was filling in every way. He saw her as no one else ever had. To him she wasn't Autumn's little sister she was simply herself and she loved him for that. Together they hunted as a tight trio, and adopted a rottwieler named John.
    A lethifold was the storm no one had seen on the horizon. It took with it Red and his brother, and tried to take Will but Athena injured it first nearly killing him in the process. As soon as he'd recovered enough, Will left the girls leading the lethifold off, breaking Athena's heart, and crashing what trust Autumn had been building carefully and lovingly. It would be two years before they even considered partnering up with anyone. Sam and Dean Winchester walked in to their lives like the answer to so many forgotten prayers. Athena couldn't imagine a better match for them, the boys challenged them. Killing a boogeyman was the beginning of a very promising relationship.

As portrayed by Angie Everhart

Autumn Aura Daemon is the big sister we all want and fear we'll get. She's your best friend until she thinks you're playing with fire when she comes at you from all angles trying to herd you back to the straight and narrow. Not that her road of what is right and wrong is exactly narrow. She grew up in the small town of Pinecrest, Ohio, the oldest daughter of Lila and Dave Daemon. After several tries the doctors had assured the couple they'd never have children so Lila threw herself into working for the church Dave gave into the back breaking labor of running a farm with his younger brother Denis. When Autumn made it into the world safe and sound with ten fingers and ten toes and more fight than any girl Pinecrest had ever seen her parents were thrilled. It came as a great shock, and huge delight to her, when four years later she was given a baby sister.
As the years rode on Autumn and her sister Athena grew close, Autumn often taking a more mothering approach to her sisterly duties. They were rarely out of each other's sight and always with friends. When Autumn was ten her uncle was killed by two ghosts and the events that followed shortly after changed her life forever. The Winchesters came to the rescue and little Autumn met her first crush. Two years later her mother was diagnosed with cancer and shortly before Christmas and just after Autumn's 14th birthday, Lila Daemon passed on. Reeling from her mother's death Autumn obsessed over every task she could think of the one she missed though was her father. February 14th, he committed suicide while his daughters were at school. Autumn ordered Athena to sit on the porch while she went in the house sure something was amiss and found her father dead in his room. She called 911, and then the neighbors who took emergency custody of the girls.
After the funeral Autumn and Athena were separated and placed in foster care. It would be six of the longest months in her life before The Mortons, her neighbors, got permanent and legal custody of them. The things that happened in those six months broke her. She returned to her friends in time for summer break, her best friend Martha wasn't sure how to handle the new Autumn, and the boys, Hudson, Huston, and Billy-Jack only wanted her to return to who she'd been when they were 12 before cancer had destroyed her life. Martha's older brother, Josh, stepped in greatly in the years that followed and while Autumn grew away from the rest of her friends the two of them wound their lives tightly together. Billy-Jack's approach to "fixing" Autumn was abuse. He thought if he could make her fight him she'd reclaim her spunk and spark, the fight he so prized in her.
16 years old and she found herself in an abusive relationship with her foster-brother, and unable to dream. To work through everything in her head she wrote. The short story caught the attention of a new English teacher who had grown up in the town and moved away when he went to college. He contacted a writer friend who got him hooked up with a publisher who published the story in a book with a dozen other high schoolers' stories.  Mr.  Recker  and Josh looked after Autumn and both suggested ways for her to keep busy. After school jobs and volunteer work she fell easily into. Father Bill was over joyed to see her in his church and when she inquired about jobs that would help someone in the community he sent her to Mr. Recker's father. An old widower who was dead set on hating her the moment she set foot on his property. She spent nearly everyday at his farm, there was nothing she wouldn't do to keep from going home to Billy-Jack. When she spotted Scarlet Recker's, her old Sunday school teacher, red '65 Ford Mustang parked in the back of the barn she fell in love.
    It took two years and she had more than her fair share of difficulty waitressing, keeping her straight A marks, and all her volunteer work, but Autumn found the time to restore the old car. In the process finding her old friends. It was as if she was finally seeing the light after six years of darkness. Billy-Jack laid off, and as graduation approached nothing could have stopped her. The night before Martha, Josh, Hudson, Huston, Billy-Jack, Athena, Autumn, and a few friends from school had a bonfire. Huston made it known that he had feelings for Athena which upset Autumn but they would only have a single summer to develop as Huston was heading off for Med school in the fall. She never saw the next morning coming and it still catches her off guard when she thinks back about it. Their's wasn't the only party and one car of students headed for the graduation was driven by a boy who'd been drinking heavily until the wee hours of the morning. He smashed his car into Hudson and Huston's pick-up. All three died on the scene and two of the boy's passengers where hospitalized for a few days and released with minor injuries while the other remained in a comma for six years before dying.
    Autumn couldn't stand home anymore. She packed her bags and with Mr. Recker's help went straight to college a few hours away. She'd return home most weekends but it didn't ease the pain of loosing two friends she plunged into the dark again and Billy-Jack resumed his abusive and now drunk behavior. She had a miscarriage her freshman year in college and that only made her depression worse. While she forced herself onward refusing to show weakness as she defined it her writing got darker. She wrote of children brutally murdering monsters and ghosts. Six months before graduation Billy-Jack asked her to marry him, they set the date for the following June. The day before the rehearsal  dinner Autumn expressed the want to  meet with the Winchesters. Jealous and furious Billy-Jack set into her, this time he even knew she was carrying his child. He put her through the living room wall and landed her in the hospital suffering with a few breaks, a concussion, and once again a miscarriage. This was the final straw.
    Sometime ago she'd made contact with John Winchester and she called on him now. As soon as she was capable of leaving she had Athena pack their bags and John picked them up taking them to Raining Cloud's Hunters Resort. Along the way he started their training to become hunters. The Raining family finished their training and while death continued to pursue Autumn, taking her mentor Red Raining Cloud, his wife Charity, and brother she pressed herself deep into the folds of the hunters' world. Starting as a tracker she worked her way up in status and was hunting with her sister unaided by anyone when they finally met up with Dean and Sam Winchester, the inspiration for her dark children's books about two boys who hunt the creatures that go bump in the night.

  As portrayed by Murray Marks

  Elliot “Duck” Darrel was your typical blue collar American man. He married the girl next door, Ree, and they had two children together.  He never once suspected that there were things living in the shadows, at least until coming home from the night shift at the steel mill when he found his wife and children mauled in their home. He was told it was a wild animal attack, and there were a two other similar attacks in  the town at the same time. Doors were locked, guns were bought, and after a while the deaths were exaggerated stories the school kids told. To everyone except Duck who couldn’t leave it alone, he knew something was off and sought answers wherever they may be.  He followed the attacks for two states before running into Bane and Jasper Raining.
    Bane encouraged his curiosity  pushing him to explore all options before telling him that his family was  the victim of two werewolves. Desperate for revenge now Duck fell in with Bane and his nephew Jasper who taught him to hunt the werewolves and trained him. He was late to the game but had a knack for it. In typical hunter fashion Duck was passed around from hunter to hunter learning what he could from all of them before being cut loose. He was spending a few days pulling himself together when Red, Bane’s older brother, asked him to look after two young  women on a simple hunt. Autumn and Athena boggled his mind. They were young, beautiful girls, and had chosen to hunt.  
    He didn’t have the Daemons long before Mackenzie Singer was added to his troops.  After a few hunts the girls stopped calling him Mr. Darrel opting for Duck because they thought it was rather hilarious when he hadn’t understood their warning to duck during a hunt and gotten himself cracked in the skull. They even started  calling themselves “Duck’s Angels” as he would find their hunts and give orders but they did all the actual hunting under his watchful eye. Their time together was short lived, only nine months, when Red’s daughter had an accident calling the family back together and scattering many hunting parties to cover the Raining’s openings.  
    Duck continues to hunt for Jenifer Raining, the niece and younger sister of the duo who’d once trained him. He trains up newbies that come into Raining Cloud’s Hunters’ Resort and spend a lot more time drinking than he should, after he lost a kid on what should have been a routine salt and burn. 

as portrayed by Margaret Atwood (better picture later)
    Dr. Sage Palmer had an easy life, until she refused to marry and become the perfect little wifey as her parents wished. She was disowned and lost all her money because she dreamed of bigger things. She worked her way through med school and became an ER doctor. She loved the work and had always shown  an interest in caring for people. One night she was pulling a double when Rick came in. She was caught off guard when his sharp brown eyes raked over her before agreeing to show her his wounds.  Despite her instance Rick only allowed her to stitch him up, provide him with a shot of morphine, and pop his shoulder back into socket before slipping off into the night. It was nearly two years before a knock at her door brought Rick back. He wasn’t in much better shape this time and again she treated him, offering him a place to stay the night. Small talk blossomed into deeper subjects and  it wasn’t long before Rick began bringing friends in to be fixed up too. Finally one night when his cell phone rang and he jumped out of bed to leave on his mysterious business she demanded to know what he did.
    Sage became a doctor for hunters after that. They would come and she’d heal them, there were so many options opened to her with the supernatural world at her finger tips. She found new ways to treat the hunters that came in often bargaining with them for supplies to make her remedies.  If any one suspected she was working outside the hospital they didn’t let on. At least until the last time Rick came home. He stumbled in the front door bloodied and beaten not even making it three feet before he fell. She worked nonstop on him stealing supplies from the hospital as needed. One day one of her nurses who she’d always been friendly with stopped to check on her only to find the hunter dead in the house. With no other reasonable option the nurse called 911. When Sage’s activities came into the open her license was pulled.
    Sage didn’t give up her passion, if anything losing Rick heated the fire even more. She moved where no reasonable person would seek her and started treating only hunters, out of her house. She would drive out and meet them if she had to, constantly working and perfecting her skills. John Winchester came to her a few times with bullets embedded in his flesh or other wounds he didn’t want his boys to see. She’d heard him speak rather proudly of all four of “his” children, but even so when the Daemon girls dragged Will Raining in her shack she was speechless. The boy had been shot clear through the heart.  
    Despite Will running away from her care the girls stayed  in touch contacting her and supplying her with thing she needed as often as they could. In November of 2006 Autumn was burned pretty badly and she treated the huntresses wounds before returning to her home. Months later a shape shifter impersonating her Rick kidnapped and tortured her as away to draw the Winchesters out of hiding to aid a nest of vampires. Sage has since returned to her work now with a cell phone, which she’d previously refused to own.
