The Cast

	Norton:Engineer is single and REALLY looking. He is a humble Genius by all means. Norton likes everything geek. Mostly cause he is one. He collects Star Battles (Star Wars) and Star Quest (Star Trek) memorabilia as well as seeds and fossils. He owns a giant movie collection, loves Sci-Fi and is obsessed with insects. Norton has realized that the love of his life is Julia. If only he’d build up the guts to tell her someday. As far as his professional life… He loves Engineering but he hates his job. But what’s most important is that Norton has an overly active imagination. He often day dreams and imagines himself in far off places and suddenly the world around him changes to whatever his noggin can think of. What he doesn’t realize is that he talks when ever he daydreams so his co-workers hear his adventures as he imagines them. So, in a way, they experience them with him.
	Blue:Nano Fog is a Utility Fog made of Nanobots (A collection of Microscopic robots floating together to form a shape and performing functions). Blue is a creature that was created by accident while Norton was experimenting with nano technology. He is Norton’s pet and is taught, by Norton, about human behavior and life. Blue is extremely wacky and loves to cause trouble. He can also be very helpful. He helps Norton out of jams by manipulating computers and network systems. This drives the IT guy nuts. Blue can, at times, cause people to sneeze when passing by them. This is caused by the nano particles momentarily getting caught in their sinuses. But it is very harmless.
	Peter:Engineer is the one in the office the boss hates. Every office has one. He and Norton are best friends. He usually gets sucked into trouble along with his very bored co-worker friend. He is the only one, besides Norton, that can see Blue. He is an Engineer and is very well versed in the Mathematic Arts. He also happens to live across the hall from Norton. So, they hang out a lot. He shares the same interests with Norton. Peter will often correct Norton’s work because of his incredible eye for detail and his phenomenal photographic memory.
	Julia:Documentation Specialist Julia is the office health nut. She is a Vegetarian. If not busy looking over the countless documents that pour over her desk, she is usually busy counting calories. She is most often found power walking up and down the halls. She is also a devout feminist cause she is all for woman’s rights. She also happens to be a strong Environmentalist so be sure to recycle around her. Julia is Norton’s love interest and thinks he is very sweet.
	Jeremy:The IT Guy Jeremy does not like people. He feels people are why networks are needed. Jeremy hates networks. He does not like to come into work. He would much rather play games online with people he does NOT know. He has a theory that the network in the office is haunted. As if something is traveling through it and causing the office computers to do weird things. Little does he know, it’s Blue. He is often found crying out of frustration.
	Jug:Office Clerk Through errors in the State paperwork, Jug was accidentally sent to ElectroCorp for his work release program. He makes everyone nervous. Even the Boss. The only reason he is still working there is because no one has the courage to fire him. Everyone laughs at his very bad water cooler jokes and pretend to like his very bad ideas. Jug does not understand the concept of office etiquette and, well, living in a society. But little does everyone know, Jug means no one any harm. He’s just a puppy dog who did time.
	Ned:Programmer Ned is a shovanistic, neanderthal, pig. He thinks like a caveman. Ned will eat almost anything. He tends to store food in his desk that, at times, goes bad. But he still ends up eating it anyway. He eats meat everyday. He doesn’t believe in medicine and thinks that man should be able to fight off bacteria and pathogens like our primates did. The only thing keeping him from starting a bonfire and cooking a wild boar in the office is the sprinkler system.
	Blanch:Tech Writer Miserable and Single. Blanch is very color blind and thinks her hair dye is Autumn Sunrise when, in fact, it’s PURPLE! Everyone is afraid to tell her it’s real color. She needs very strong coffee in order to function regularly. She is often the first to arrive in the morning and the last to leave. Rumor has it that she smiled once. She was ElectroCorp’s first employee and has been with the company a long time.
	George:The Boss He found ElectroCorp. George has a degree in Electrical Engineering and a Masters in Aerospace Engineering his company has an almost limitless budget from Government funding and royalties from various inventions he created for the Department of Defense. George refuses to cut a single strand of hair that populates the top of his balding head. He commends it for it’s loyalty, he says. George is very strict with his employees (except Jug) and for some reason he hates Peter with a passion. No one knows why. Through the years his mind has gone south so he, at times, can be seen trying to gather a thought.
	Stanley:Quality Assurance Stanley is the office Hypochondriac and Germaphobe. He fears all germs and any relationship they may have with objects in his daily life. He gets light headed frequently due to him taking as few breaths as possible through out the day to avoid air born bacteria. Aside from this, everyday, he thinks he is going to get laid off. So he is also the office Paranoid. People in the office tend to sneeze at times when Blue is present. This drives Stanley crazy cause he thinks they are sick.
	Pizza Boy:Pizza Boy His least favorite place to deliver pizza is Electrocorp. Everytime he delivers their pies, they seem to have something weird going on. Also, with all the commotion, they always seem to forget his tip. And maybe someday, just maybe, when they take a break from all their crazyness, they’ll find the time to ask him what his name is.
	Lupe:Cleaning Lady Lupe is the person who cleans the Electrocorp offices. She usually does this after hours, but there are times she comes in during their hours of operation. Lupe always has something smart to say to everyone except Norton. She likes Norton. She thinks he’s very polite. But it’s open season on all the others especially Stanley. She hates him because she has to work twice as hard on his cubicle. That and his Germophobic ways cause him to constantly question her cleaning techniques.
