Bactrian Camel. Lead singer of The Vice Men, the biggest indie punk band in West Herd City. He thinks of himself as "a regular Joe" and is anything but. Legend is he's hiding a rare superpower. Rarer still is the sight of him without a cigarette in hand.
Huacaya Alpaca. Always quick to wit, this transgender genius sings backup for The Vice Men. He has a bit of a baby face so gets away with more than the others at times. He always seems to have a pack of cards, and he knows all the best bars in town.
Paint Dromedary Camel. Loves to climb just about everything. A laid back, good-natured punk in an aloha shirt and hippie shades, this guitarist believes that recycling is the most rebelliosu thing one can do. Winston's patience far outlasts the others, so he often finds himself saddled with the rest of the band's emotional baggage. Still, there's no other crew he'd rather roll with.
Llama. Drummer of The Vice Men. The operative word for Lucky is BIG: big belly, big laugh, big heart. If you're not at ease, neither is he. Lucky has more piercings that most people know about and is always looking to get more. Don't try to stop this force of nature or you'll end up thrashed!
Llama. Bassist of The Vice Men. Piper grew up dirt poor and worked as hard as he could to beat the odds and become a classic literature professor. In the middle of his final semester, he realized he was the exception, as education opportunities favor the wealthy. He quit on the spot and his bass playing went from a moderate hobby to his main passion. The cattle tag in his ear is a reminder that nobody is truly free of "the system."
This old-time bluesman was chewed up and spat out by the music industry in his younger years and long ago advised a young Smoky to stay indie to avoid the same fate. He and Smoky still meet up time to time to talk venues, melodies, and profits.
These designated global leaders, one from each nation, rule the homo-camelid planet. Their mission statement is to bring prosperity through peace and reasoning. Recently they seem to be preoccupied with a top secret endeavor...
