Dr. Siskowitz had a successful career in academics at the University of Washington, a young fully tenured professor in Physics. At 30 years old, he realized that he hated writing grants and supervising graduate students. He wanted to get back to something more real, so when Dr. Ciquala mentioned his new startup, Venture Industries, Siskowitz was immediately drawn and asked Ciquala if there might be a place for a physicist with a lot of practical knowledge. Indeed, there was. He has been with Venture Industries since its inception in 1976.

Allison entered graduate school in chemistry with an interest in blendings. In the kitchen she was famous amongst her friends for her creative concoctions. In the lab, she became famous amongst her colleagues for blending chromium, aluminum, iron III and palladium to create a new incredibly strong alloy. She was courted by Dow and Dupont, but the offer from a small company caught her attention because of the intellectual giants who headed it: none other than Viho Ciquala and Henry Siskawitz. The company of such genius was impossible to pass up. Of course the pay was not as good as in big industry, but she was more interested in the freedom of intellectual exploration that Venture Industries promised. After a few successful inventions, the pay turned out to be phenomenal. Joined Venture Industries 1989. Hobbies: riding her horse.

2 Reputation: As a mechanic amongst the Hells Angels (A small to medium sized group) 11-, +2/+2d6
Motorcycle riding, handlebar mustache, the whole nine yards. Enlisted in the army in 1964 with unfortunate timing, as US troops were sent to Vietnam only a year later. Les served in the motor pool, first as a helicopter pilot, but later retrained as a mechanic after demonstrating significant innate talent performing in combat repairs. Disillusioned after the war, Les took to a life on the road. He joined the Hells Angels, traveling in those circles for several years. In that time, he garnered a reputation for doing stunning custom jobs on Harley Davisons motorcycles, which drew the attention of one Viho Ciquala. Started working for Venture Industries in 1982.

Kanuna Polianana has enjoyed a variety of professions. Currently he works for Viho, excercising his mechanical prowess. He was born on the Big Island in Hawaii. In his youth he eyed the heavyweight boxing champions belt, but found that he wasn't that much of a monster after all. Back on the island, he worked part time as a SCUBA guide and part time as a paramedic, tending mostly tourists with sun burns but also near drownings and more severe accidents. As he grew tired of these pursuits he went to the San Francisco Cullinary Academy and spent several years as a chef in a high class seafood restraunt overlooking the golden gate. Since childhood, however, he's loved to fix things and spent his adolescence repeatedly retooling a 67 mustang. He always took these skills for granted, fixing the SCUBA boat or repairing some equipment in their ambulance. Finally he decided to make his next career arise from his early talents, and started a shop doing custom work for antique cars. Apparently he became somewhat famous, because one day in 1985 a short dude in a leather jacket offered him a job that he couldn't refuse. 10 years later, it seems like he's finally found something he can stick with.

Joline and her fiance Mark love to travel, but the income of a struggling artist and a budding novelist don't really allow for jet setting. She met Kanuna three years ago, he was piloting the cesna while she learned to sky dive. Kanuna spoke gushingly of his employer who was looking for a new secretary, and who apparently travelled frequently around the world (he was actually a mechanic, and only flew the cesna on the weekends for fun). Viho was looking for a secretary/accountant/jet pilot all in one, and Joline was a well recommended administrative assistant, and her quick intellect impressed Viho so much that he hired her and sent her to school to learn accounting and how to fly a Lear Jet. Now her travels with Mark are on the job as she pilots Viho's Lear jet when he goes to conferences. Hired in 1992. Mark works at a bank in downtown Manhattan.
