Introduction to the Characters

In this post, I'll just introduce the characters shown so far as I perceive them:

First off are "the PIE guys," Hector and Baron. They work together, with a little help from the PIE network (the players, also called "slices"), to look at paranormal mysteries and how they fit into their JUMP theory. Though they have dedicated their lives to studying these mysteries; however, they never quite seem to be completely serious on the job, often focusing on their quirkiness and bickering as much as what they study. It makes for good comic relief, though. :)

Hector Macchiato looks like someone who knows his stuff. Inspired by paranormal childhood experiences, he does the finer details in the PIE research. He also reads comic books like Spider-Man, has a sweet pair of sideburns, knows a little bit of sign language, and somehow puts up with his partner Baron.

Baron Rude is the kind of guy who leaps before he looks. As such, he always has something to say, even if he doesn't think about it before he says it. He loves to drink tea, and he focuses on the bigger picture of the PIE projects.

Dongle, whose face hasn't been shown, is the PIE guys' intern. He sometimes films Hector and Baron in their adventures, although not a lot has been shown about his personality.

The other recurring characters in the story are the two unnamed men in blue suits. They watch the PIE guys from a green van parked outside the PIE headquarters, and they have even followed Hec and Baron around.
