Description: Mark is sturdily built, muscular and strong. He's usually on the skinny side though, due to many illnesses. Mark has a fair, slightly tanned complexion.
Personality: Mark has a very strong character. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, almost to the point of obsession. He would do anything to protect them, including die for any one of them. Mark always feels he has to prove himself to his friends, and never thinks he is good enough for them. His biggest fear is failure.
Character Traits: Mark has a rather low tolerance for pain, despite what he thinks. He's smart and responsible, and loves his wife and son dearly. He's a bit of a clean freak.
Hobbies: Flying
Background: Mark Holbrook, originally Meirs, was born to Frank and Hilde Meirs in Germany. His parents were originally a part of Project Cobalt, though their marriage was forbidden. Due to this, Mark was taken from them and placed in the care of a foster family, James and Catherine Holbrook, along with their children, Catherine and Stewart. The relationship in the family was strained. Mark was badly abused at the hands of James and his son Stewart. Unknown to Mark at the time, the mistreatment he was given was actually training for his future career with Project Cobalt. Mark found his new sister Catherine to be the only source of companionship he had while growing up. Tormented endlessly by his foster parents and brother, Mark used his spunk and dreamy personality to his advantage, holding onto a dream only he knew to get him through the hard times. When Mark was 18 years old, he was kicked out of the house and taken in by Cobalt who completed his training. Mark excelled there and quickly moved up to a leadership position where he learned of and met his greatest threat, The Black Ring. After a mission to wipe them out once and for all went terribly wrong, Mark was rescued by his dad, Frank, who didn't even know his son due to having his memory wiped by Cobalt. The two became good friends until they lost contact. Suffering from severe PTSD, Mark was given a much needed break, working undercover for a woman named Barbara Oaks, flying planes in a much safer environment. That is, until the Black Ring caught up to him again, shooting down his cargo plane over a little town in Montana known as Silver Springs. There he later reunited with Frank and fell in love with Sandra.

Name: Sandra Holbrook
Age: 26
Height: 5'4
Weight: 116 lbs
Eye Color: Light blue
Hair: golden color, shoulder length and wavy
Occupation: ER Nurse
Relations: Mark Holbrook's wife, Mother of Zachary Holbrook, sister to Catherine Valentine, (Though adopted by Charlotte and James Holbrook) best friends with Kelsey Meirs
Description: Sandra is a very attractive young woman. She's slender, but not thin or petite. Sandra is fair-skinned and there are a few freckles on her rosy cheeks. She's several inches shorter than the people usually around her.
Personality: Sandra has a very sweet and gentle nature. She's always kind and helpful. Outwardly, Sandra hardly ever shows anger, but she is very sensitive and cries easily. In the past, she always tried to keep her feeling hidden, but in more recent times, has come to depend on her friends and family for support. Sandra tries very hard to make people like her. Her biggest fear is not being good enough. Sandra is loyal, honest and would do anything for her friends.
Character Traits: Sandra is a terrible cook. Like Mark, she also has a low pain tolerance. Sandra is terrified of snakes and spiders, and is not exactly fond of most surprises.
Hobbies: Playing the piano, singing, taking walks, tending the sick
Background: Sandra has had a rather rocky past. She was born in a town not far from Silver Springs to Janet and Michael Valentine. She had everything she could ever want or need until one fateful night, when a drunk driver hit their family car in a head-on collision. Sandra, then just 6 years-old, watched as her father bled to death before the paramedics arrived, and later, her mother too, from a coma. Having no family or anyone to take her in, Sandra was sent to the orphanage in Silver Springs where her life turned into a living hell at the hands of the orphanage workers, the owner in particular. Suffering both mental and physical abuse, orphan Sandra struggled to find a way to carry on in a nearly hopeless situation. Working herself almost to death, she struggled desperately to gain favor with her tormenter who insisted everything he did to her was because she wasn't good enough. Sandra threw herself into the useless attempt of trying to prove him wrong. Still, nothing changed. She learned to keep her emotions hidden, all the anger pent up. Silent and obliging, she did everything she was told, hoping one day it would just end. Her only solace was a small cave she found deep in the woods. There, she was free to vent her emotions. Kelsey found her one day, hearing the sound of her heartbroken sobs. Though shy at first, the two girls quickly became inseparable friends. Sandra claimed that Kelsey was the one who saved her life and gave her something to live for. Eventually, Kelsey's father Frank found out what was happening to Sandra, from Kelsey. He made arrangements to have her moved, unable to adopt her himself due to financial strain from his wife's illness. Sandra's life became much happier now. Both she and Kelsey attended medical school together. After they graduated, the girls were hired at the Silver Springs Hospital where they both work happily.

Name: Kelsey Robertson
Age: 26
Height: 5'6
Weight: 105 lbs
Eye Color: Soft brown eyes, very expressive
Hair: Long and dark brown, straight
Occupation: ER Doctor
Relations: Sister of Mark Holbrook/Meirs Daughter of Frank Meirs, wife of Dylan Robertson and mother to Grace, Charlotte and Connor Robertson
Description: Kelsey is extremely petite and slender, almost to the point of seeming to be very fragile, but she's way tougher than she looks. She's strong both physically and emotionally. Kelsey has fair skin, which is usually tanned. Her complexion is nearly flawless.
Personality: Kelsey has a very strong personality. She can be exceedingly stubborn at times, and does not give up on anyone, or anything, easily. Kelsey is fiercely loyal to her friends and would do anything to help them, no matter the cost. Despite being tough and strong-willed, she also has a soft side, especially when it comes to her family. She also loves a good prank.
Character Traits: Kelsey has a high tolerance when it comes to pain. She can speak German fluently. She also hates messes.
Hobbies: Singing, dancing, writing, parties
Background: Kelsey was born in Germany, but she and her parents moved to Silver Springs Montana not long after, and Kelsey claims the USA as her home. Both her parents spoke German and taught Kelsey. None of the Meirs family ever mentioned Mark, and, due to Cobalt drugs, didn't even know he existed for years until a chance encounter brought them together. Even then, it would be a long time before it was revealed to them. Kelsey grew up as a normal, happy child, befriending Sandra and living a rather peaceful, uneventful life, until her mother Hilde was diagnosed with a cancer that took her life several years later. Kelsey was heartbroken, but Sandra and her fiancé Eric, as well as Frank, helped her move on. Kelsey married Eric at a young age. Eric was a police officer and the two loved each other dearly. Eric and Kelsey bought a large house in Silver Springs, close to the hospital where she worked. Sadly, more heartbreak was in store for her. Not long after Kelsey found out that she was pregnant with her first child, Grace, Eric was killed in the crossfire between two rival gangs. Again, friends and family were there to support her and the birth of Grace helped keep her going. Kelsey continued to work at the hospital where she eventually met and fell in love with her future husband, Dylan Robertson.

Name: Frank Meirs
Age: 72
Height: 5'5
Weight: 150 lbs
Eye Color: Grayish blue
Hair: Black, but rather gray now
Occupation: Retired pilot, military medic, mechanic
Relations: Father to Mark and Kelsey, husband to Hilde Meirs
Description: Frank is rather short and stocky. Not exactly overweight, but well-built. He is tan from long hours in the sun, and his hands show a lifetime of hard work.
Personality: Frank is very loyal. He would never betray his friends. He is also quite tough and is a rather serious person. Frank tends to keep things to himself, rather than worry others.
Character Traits: Like Kelsey, Frank speaks fluent German. He has a relatively high pain tolerance and has a knack for repairing things.
Hobbies: Flying, fixing broken items, occasionally singing with Kelsey, hanging out with his grandchildren.
Background: Frank was born in Germany and moved to England in his early twenties, where he joined the RAF as a medic, later joining Project Colbalt. There, he eventually met Mark. The two became fast friends and went on a number of missions together. Frank met another young agent, a girl named Hilde. The two fell in love and married secretly, breaking one of Colbalt's strictest rules. They were found out, and both he and Hilde were disgracefully removed from the project, after a memory wipe. Hilde was pregnant at the time and when she gave birth to Mark, was forced by undercover Cobalt agents, who made a case against them to gain custody of the baby. Heartbroken, the two lovers moved back to Germany where Kelsey was born about two years later. From there, they moved to Montana, out to a tiny town where Frank wanted to start over. Sadly, his beloved wife was diagnosed with cancer when Kelsey was six, and died two years later. Frank worked hard to support his little family with his job as a mechanic. He eventually saved enough money to help both his daughter and her friend Sandra, through medical school, and even managed to purchase a small helicopter where he pursued his old love of flying. Frank eventually retired, living comfortably with Kelsey who was now married by this time. He had no further contact with Mark, until a chance encounter with him in the Silver Springs Hospital reunited the two friends once more.
