SENSATES
Alexandra Higgins
I'm twenty-two years old, and my best friend, Cassie, says I have an 'old soul'. As it turns out, she may have hit the nail smack dab on the head. My life took a drastic turn when my parents died in a horrible freak accident. The money for their deaths is hard for me to deal with, I'd much rather have my parents.
Just when I think I've come to terms with their loss, I get the shock of my life. I still can't describe what happened to me when I went to Waynesburg for the first time. My whole world changed. It's bitter sweet. An oxymoron in the flesh. I can't tell anyone; I don't think they'd believe me anyway. It's wonderful, yet it hurts to know, that one day I will live on, and everyone that is not like me, will perish. I AM a Sensate.
Jediah Saffle
I'm the current leader of the Sensates, and I've held that position for seventy-two years. I know, I know, I don't look my age. I get that a lot. I'm actually two hundred and thirty years old. If you think that's a bit to handle, then you don't know the half of it. Since the day I was born I knew I was to love and cherish only one woman, Alexandra. I had to wait two hundred and eight years to meet her. It's been a very long wait, but she finally appeared in Waynesburg just as her great-great grandfather said she would.
I'm worried about our group. An age-old prophecy foreshadows our future. Only the combined powers of the strongest Sensates will protect us. The danger will come in nine moons. Only nine months to groom Alexandra to be the greatest power the Sensates have ever known. Our days are counting down...
Ryeth Garmendia
Why should I tell you anything about me? I don't want or need anyone. Anything I want I can easily take, and you would never even know. No cell can hold me, no temptation can lure me. Believe me when I say your existence is of little consequence to me.
I'm a Sensate like them, and they will rue the day I was born.
Alice Jane
I'm Jediah's sister and Nancy Jane's daughter, and I've recently developed a taste for dark and brooding men.
I've been away from the Sensate group, and spent the last several years honing my engineering skills at Lindenbergh Aerospace in Seattle, Washington. I left my job and I'm planning on sticking my nose in some heavy stuff.
Wish me luck!
Ari
I don't know who I am. I don't know what I am.
The woman who raised me sold me to the government. I've been imprisoned, held against my will, by some rat-faced bureaucrats who have poked and prodded me like some alien.
I just need to know there are others out there like me who can save me. I'm so lost and alone.
Teater
I have made a horrible mistake that I'll pay for for the rest of my life. I don't expect forgiveness; as a matter of fact, I can't forgive myself.
I can only move forward and hope that the good I did in the past can ward off the Prophecy. My great-great granddaughter, Alexandra will have to pull information from our past and our future to save our race from being used by the government.
I'll help her all I can, even if it means re-living a time of tremendous pain.
Reslyn
I have been a Sensate living in Balisier for more than two hundred years. When the Prophecy ended I muscled up the courage to live a life outside the protection of our group. It's pretty new to me. I never had to hide my abilities before.
There's this man - I don't know what to make of him. He's handsome and exciting, but he's different in a way I just can't put my finger on. He has a way of making me feel like I'm the only person in the world, and at the same time... I feel lost.
Sensate Teryn Chronicles
I have no memory of my past. I am alone in a world I do not understand. Strange feelings assault me from every direction and I don't know who to turn to or trust. I feel connected but lost. Living this way is tearing me apart and I want to put down roots. What kind of life can I have when I don't know who I am?

Rael
Alieah
I am all-powerful, and I want things done MY way. I can be whomever I wish... No one controls me, not even Cimean, though I let him think he does. What mischief it is to sneak into others' lives and spin things my way. It's been a long time coming but I'll finally get to have some fun!
Sensate Teryn Chronicles
Cimean
They are my responsibility, and I will guard my flock from danger of ANY kind. Tens of thousands of years in the making, they mean more to me than my very existence. I know what they are capable of, and I will protect them, even from themselves.
They are MINE.
