CAPTAIN EMO:

     Jordan Munn is a published artist and model. She has been seen working the runway in fantasy avant-garde and cosplay. Though her first loves were writing and drawing comics she has spent the past few years working on costumes and props. Her background lends itself perfectly for the Captain Emo character model, and she is honored and delighted to have contributed to the Slipstream Portal project.
Her modeling portfolio can be found on JordanMunn.com and her artwork is hosted on JordanMunnArt.com.

COLONEL HOGHEAD:

MR. FLOYD:
     Facial likeness James Fraelich, seasoned commercial door technician at Specialty Doors & Automation, Long Beach CA. A likeable witty fellow with a permanently etched smile, a spirited gentleman built out of rebar and angle iron. Thanks for being a sport and joining the fun!!!

YNEZ ANGELICA:
     Facial likeness of Stephanie Barba. (middle daughter of author) UC Berkeley grad (2003), black belt Kenpo Karate, globe trotting free spirit…soon to continue her practice of yoga under mentorship of the Yogi master in India (I wouldn’t be surprised if he is really Lama Rana).

MAJOR BAD:
