Koray Iah Alexander is a quirky, whimsical, creative resident of the Upper West Side. Despite that, due to a lucrative job walking the dogs of the rich, she is often found during the daylight hours in the Upper West Side or in Central Park. Other than that, she is likely found in any number of places with her nose in a book or her iPod. She is the manager and unofficial den mother of the Secret Lair, and spins reggae and world beat at at least a couple of the clubs in SoHo and environs.

Koray Alexander's mother Sadie, and her father, Marcus, met in their youth while both were doing that "year to see the world before studying" thing in the 70s. Sadie was being accosted by beggar children in the streets of Buenos Aires, and Marcus stepped in with several loaves of bread he broke up among them. It satisfied and distracted them enough that Sadie was able to sidle away into an alley with him. It turned out they were both on their last day in Buenos Aires and both had planned to move onto Rio. The attraction was immediate, and the two fell in the sort of love one only reads about in fairy tales.
Their courtship was scattershot after Rio, because their interests in school led them in different directions. Cards, letters, and phone calls kept them close when Sadie studied psychology in New York, and he studied to become a doctor in California. Unbeknownst to Sadie, he had an evolved ability. This made him particularly attractive to the Company. Marcus successfully fended them off at first, while he was still in school. His graduate studies took him back to New York, though, as Columbia's psychology program was considered one of the best. Reunited with Sadie, he proposed to her, she accepted, and they were married in a simple civil ceremony with only Sadie's mother and Marcus' grandmother as witnesses. Shortly after Sadie's graduation, she turned up pregnant. Although Marcus still had studying to do for his own degree, he was delighted and moved them into a small apartment in White Plains so he could commute to the city for work and school, but his wife would be able to practice as a clinical social worker.
Koray's birth, the day before New Year's Eve — during a lunar eclipse — was easy, but the doctors feared for her at first. She was born awake, ate healthily, and had the other normal baby functions. What she did not seem to do, though, was sleep. For three weeks, they kept her for observation, afraid of ill effects from sleep deprivation. Over the three weeks under observation, she did eventually drop off, but for tiny fifteen minute cat naps, or at most, three hours. Strange though it was, baby Koray just didn't seem to need the same amount of sleep as any other newborn. She developed properly with no health issues. This was a bit of a tribulation for her parents, who had to enlist the baby's grandmother and great grandmother to watch her at all hours, because everyone else in the house needed the usual 6-8 hours.
Koray, as a result, learned very, very fast, because she was in an awake and alert state more hours of the day than most people. As a result she walked, talked, and crawled early, and was reading before she was two. This was a particular relief to her family, because Kory loved to read, and could be counted on to be left to enjoy herself with a book for hours on end. By the time she was four, she was a quiet little bookworm, which was good because her parents brought a son into the family.
Afternoons often found her at the library or in The City at various bookstores and comic shops. Her schooling went by rapidly as well, because she had time to study and do the sorts of things kids liked to do when not studying. She just spent the hours of the night doing it when everyone else was sleeping. She wasn't really regarded as a freak because the not-sleeping wasn't really apparent to the other kids as she got older, and then they simply envied that she was allowed to stay up. She also had a wonderful extra-curriciular resume because she had time for multiple classes and could still get her schoolwork done.
Kory was twelve, her little brother Anzeti seven, when her father disappeared. He went out to get ice cream and cake for her birthday, and never returned. (Unbeknownst to Kory, her father was taken by the Company. They submitted him to a mindwipe and indoctrinated him to make use of his evolved ability. Kory and her family just believe Marcus met with foul play, though the police found no indications of such, nor of any backhistory that would make it plausible he'd fallen in with criminals). Though they went to the police, there was nothing ever found.
Shortly after her sixteenth birthday, Kory found herself in her brother's dream about race car driving. When he awoke, she casually brought it up in conversation as if it were a happy memory they shared, and by his astonished reaction, realized it had not been her own imagination; she actually had entered her brother's dream. Kory had been reading books about lucid dreaming and controlling dreams for years at this point, out of curiosity at her own seemingly benign insomnia. It took six months of meditating and practicing before she was ready to try to do it on purpose. As she became older, and was able to spend more time on her own, Kory began to test the ability. She would ride the subway at rush hour and see if she could step into the dreams of strangers who dozed off on the train. She discovered, with pleased astonishment that this was so. To her horror, she found a new application for the dreamwalking ability.
One of the commuter sleepers she picked, the rather ordinary businessman two rows of seats down from her, was a serial rapist, who dreamed about his victims. The most recent of them was the one who'd appeared only three days earlier in the NY Post. Terrified, she got off the train and called the TIPS line, anonymously, describing the elements of the dream. The police caught him a week later, just as he was about to take another victim in the same spot. This application of her ability scared Kory, but it pleased her as well. She began focusing more in class, to the kids who fell asleep in the back. She would dream study with them, and their grades began picking up, because their knowledge got into their minds at the subconscious level, but was easily recalled when provoked. This, in turn, made her realize she nudge dreams in the directions she wanted them to go, which she began practicing in earnest: Reminding this guy dozing on the bus what he loved about his wife, rather than giving in to the urge to have an affair. Reminding that kid that his mother worked cleaning office buildings and hotels so he could grow up to be somebody, so he wouldn't give into peer pressure and start running drugs for quick money. Even occasionally calling in the TIPS line as herself when there was a reward, though with millions of people in New York City, that happened almost never.
She finished high school at 16, and was done with college at twenty, having double majored in psychology and theater — the better to understand people and what their dreams mean, as well as the better to influence them. Social work, as her mother did, bored her. She was a dreamer herself for all that she hardly slept. She was happy doing the good she could do one person at a time, in the Dreamtime, so to speak. So she got a job walking dogs for the rich, Park Avenue and Upper West Side crowd, and does party DJing on the weekends. It's enough to keep her in a modest little studio apartment in Lower Manhattan - she was lucky enough to pick from a dream that someone had died and got the apartment for a song. It puts her closer to her favourite bookstores, too - all around win, as far as Kory's concerned. As far as her brother's concerned, too; he has somewhere to crash when his own life gets on his nerves.
2007
Early in August of 2007, Kory was offered a part-time position at The Secret Lair, to assist Nima. Nima left a few months later to open a branch store in Philadelphia, which pretty much left Kory as the manager. That's when things began to get a little bit weird.
2008
Trying to live her philosophy of helping others, Kory used her abilities to wake up people in a burning building and help them get to safety. There she met George and Ian, the former of whom is a pleasant acquaintance and the latter of whom has since become a dear friend. She injured herself in the process, which got her a good bit of sympathy. While taking it easy at the Secret Lair, she met Cam, a foster kid in Lee's classes, and Randall, who would turn out to be the love of her life.
Things then took a turn for the worse, as Kory found out the hard way that her dreamwalking isn't the only ability out there. She ended up with her power amplified and pulling a number of strangers into a dream that linked up with a precognitive ability and gave a vision of the future. Kory gave Randall her number, then they had their first date. And November went without them being in touch — due to Kory having typed in the number wrong. Or perhaps Randall did. Either way, they refused to allow any more time to go by. They exchanged gifts at Christmas, and shortly thereafter, at Peter's behest, Kory helped him visit the dreams of Sylar. Trusting Randall with everything, she let him know, but to her astonishment, he took the revelation poorly and requested a month to work out whether he could handle the danger her life exposed her to. Kory spent January miserable, and found her attention then taken up by the craziness surrounding 9th Wonders, The Secret Lair, and the discovery that her old friend Lee was an Evolved as well.
As if things weren't bad enough, Leslie, one of the Lair's customers, developed a crush on Kory. Needing the companionship and distraction, she allowed him to keep her company. But when Randall returned and Kory convinced him not to give up on their relationship, crush turned into stalk, and the geekboy drugged Kory and kidnapped her to marry him. Randall found that he was able to step up more than he thought, as he rounded up a group of Evolved to find and rescue Kory. They have been all but inseperable ever since.
What Kory faces as 2008 gets into gear is the possibility that a Dark Future awaits. Peter Petrelli from the future asked her to gather all the people together he believes can prevent it from coming to pass…and that list didn't include Randall…
Powers
DREAMWALKING: Koray can, while conscious, enter the dreams of another person. They have to be asleep for this to happen. She cannot enter the dreams of anyone in a state where they are drugged unconscious. She cannot enter the dreams of a person in a coma. She can enter the dreams of someone who is high/stoned or drunk, but it's more difficult and everything she does is at an increased difficulty based on how impaired the dreamer is.
Once inside a dream she can observe and see what the dreamer sees, or she can choose to participate. If she's in a dream that has nonsensical elements, she may be swept up in the nonsensical elements, and appear as something that fits the dreamscape in question. Example: If the dreamer were dreaming about a zoo full of mythological creatures, Kory might appear as a sphinx or a hippogriff or some other beast. Or she might appear as another visitor to the zoo. If the dreamer is abruptly awakened, Kory will be jolted from the dream. If Kory is hurt or injured, she will be jolted from the dream. Kory's dream skill is best applied when she has a place to sit still for a few moments, but she has practiced on the subway and the bus and in school for years, so she is capable of entering a sleeper's dreams from a noisy environment in which she has to split her attention. All oneiromancy is psychic only. Her body remains in the mundane world, awake (diminished alertness). She can operate of a distance of up to twenty feet (about the length of a city bus or subway car, which is all she's practiced). Beyond that, she might be able to see someone else's dream, but getting into it let alone exerting any of the other dream related abilities is impossible.
DREAMLINKING: See Conference Call, below.
DREAMSCAPING: Koray has studied yoga and meditation in pursuit of honing her abilities. She can, as a result, impose her will on the dream she's in, and minimize the nonsensical elements, or call forth items from the sleeper's subconscious to help her portray the dream in whatever way she is seeking to change it. She also can shove a dreamer into wakefulness if she thinks it necessary, like if she's realized the dreamer has fallen asleep at the wheel. When dreamscaping, Kory can override nonsensical elements, and will appear as herself or in whatever form she chooses.
LUCID DREAMING: Koray is capable of dream-conversing and teaching, by enhancing the dreamer's subconscious. If she gets the dreamer discussing a subject, that subject becomes available to her dreamscaping ability. She can also leave codewords, similar to post-hypnotic commands, that she can casually mention in conversation that will allow the person to recall what information she imparted to them in a dream as if it were something they remembered on their own . Or, they can remember Kory herself as the person they got it from if she so desires.
DREAM POWERS: Kory's normal abilities follow her into any dreamscape she enters, but at an amplified state. She is capable of running faster, jumping higher, swimming longer distances. She will also develop powers that are situational to the dream in which she is currently involved. If the dreamer is having a flying dream, Kory will be able to fly. If the dreamer is having a dream about skiing, she will be able to keep up with the skiier. If the dreamer's dream is about breathing underwater, Kory can breathe underwater as well. And so on, as the dream scenario requires.
As a manifestation of her dream powers, Kory can disguise her appearance in dreams.
Disguise
Dreams in which she uses it
Nerdy little Lindsay Lohan When Kory visits Gabriel in his dreams (starting with Fixing What's Broken) to interact with him or not, she takes on this appearance, which is almost as far as one can get from Kory's appearance. She does not use this dream disguise to visit anyone else's dreams. As of April, 2008, Kory has revealed her entire history of her dream therapy sessions to Gabriel, and no longer uses this dreamshadow form.
Wrathful Apparition Kory used this form (as well as the faces of Elena, Rose, and Mariska's daughter) to scare and intimidate Benjamin in Confrontational Nightmares
INSOMNIA: Kory needs no more than 2-3 hours of sleep a night. This is a side effect of her oneiromancy; her brain chemistry is hyperefficient and hyperconductive (which is what allows her to connect with a sleeping mind in the first place). Her sleep is brief and as restful in that time as a normal person's sleep is in a full night, due to absorbing psychic energy from dreamers around her. She doesn't need caffeine or other stimulants to wake up. This power is always on, unless she's been drugged, and even then it just throws her off her groove.
Stunts
Sudden Segue: If a dream is going in a direction Koray thinks it should not take, she can exert stronger force to change the dream to something else. This is useful for getting somebody out of a nightmare and into a more peaceful dream, or getting somebody to dream about information she wants to know. Difficulty: good.
Trigger: An aspect of lucid dreaming, Kory can enforce remembering of the information in a dream at a subconscious level and attach it to a triggerword. This triggerword when spoken will then cause a cascade of the memories to the dreamer while they are awake. The word need not be spoken by Kory herself. The word need not be spoken by Kory herself. If she implanted the word, someone else could say it to the person whose dream she entered, and the trigger will still fly off.
Trigger
Used with
"Balducci's"
Everyone in the cafe who was put to sleep by Benjamin in What's to Come Chosen for its commonality in New York, the better to have all the dreamers involved remember the dream.
"Three Handled Moss-Covered Family Credenza"
Niki Sanders, during her amnesia, in Into Your Hideout. Codephrase chosen so that it would be obscure and not come up easily in conversation as it was painful to Niki.
"Benjamin Winters"
Benjamin Winters, in Confrontational Nightmares Chosen to cause him to suffer for what he's done for the Company.
Silk Pajamas, Nothing more suspicious than Frog's Breath, Omicron Wave Motion
Gabriel, in Warm House Cold Future Chosen to keep the dreams locked away until such time as Kory needed to show Gabriel the truth about her.
Butterfly Thimble Whistle
Peter, in This Clarity, to lock the dream away so as not to alert his captors she's visiting.
Alarm Clock: Kory can force-terminate a dream and make a dreamer wake up if they've dozed off at the wheel for example. Kory will roll and her target must make a willpower roll and beat Kory's successes to remain asleep.
Conference Call: After an event with a power amplifier, Kory became aware that she could create shared dream "conference calls" between multiple dreamers. After some significant practice on sleeping neighbours in her apartment, Kory is now able to link the dreams of up to twenty dreamers.
She must roll GOOD or better to successfully get the conference call going, and every turn must reroll and get GOOD or better to keep it gong.
If Kory rolls AVERAGE, she will lose one person from the dreamlink until she rolls another GOOD or better.
If Kory rolls MEDIOCRE or less, she's lost the link altogether and overtaxed her ability. She'll be unable to re-establish it without help.
(Kory will succeed at MEDIOCRE where she'd ordinarily need GOOD,
will lose a person from the dream at POOR where she ordinarily would at AVERAGE,
and will lose the dream altogether at HORRIBLE when she ordinarily would at MEDIOCRE).
Big Sky: Motivated by recent events, Kory has been behooved to try to expand her range. Peter had been after her to do so anyway, and she's been practicing. So now, she is able to dreamlink and connect multiple dreamers over greater distances. Since Sasha touched her to restore her powers, her range is greater now.
At MEDIOCRE or worse, she is not able to connect dreams at any greater distance than the length of a mile.
At AVERAGE, she can do sixteen city blocks.
At GOOD, she can do thirty two city blocks.
At GREAT , the entire 24 mile length of Manhattan Island or equivalent distance.
At SUPERB, double that.
At FANTASTIC, triple the 24 mile max.
GODLIKE quadruple the 24 mile max.
Peter Petrelli's presence in the dream connection lowers the difficulty here as it does with Conference Call, allowing her to succeed at one level lower.
The consequence of spreading her consciousness further and wider is that her body has psychosympathetic resonance with the dreamstate. If Kory suffers an injury in the dreamstate, such as a cut, a black eye, or a broken bone, her body will display the injury physically as if she had been injured physically. Healing times will be as if she had injured herself in the real world unless she has Evolved help to heal faster.

Trivia
Kory and her brother look so much alike that if they dress in drag, you can't tell one from the other, even though they're not twins.
Kory speaks snippets of a bunch of different languages, but is fluent in none. She could probably hold a conversation in Spanish, but it'd be halting. She also has fun with accents. All this comes from the fact that she reads voraciously and is mentally acquisitive.
Although she's energetic and athletic, Kory is a bit of a klutz.
Before she came to grips with her, uh, sleep disorder, Kory drank a bunch of alcohol trying to get herself to sleep. All it did was make her sick. So she hasn't drunk alcohol since.
Kory got a tattoo in January 2008 of Morpheus from The Matrix standing back to back with Terpsichore the muse from Disney's Hercules.
Devoted mother, worker of three jobs so her kids could get a good education.
Family Problem : Still grieving her missing husband, even though it has been twelve years.
Marcus Alexander
Kory's father, who vanished on her 12th birthday, and has not been seen since.
Family Problem : doesn't know he has one, as he's been mindwiped and works for the Company in an as-yet-undetermined capacity.
Anzeti Alexander
Kory's brother, the only member of the family who knows about her evolved ability. They're separated by five years, but they're very close.
Family problem: He's entered a phase now that he's almost legally an adult, where he's blowing off family stuff and expecting his sister to pick up the slack for him; something that irks Kory greatly.
Close enough for Horsehoes
Not blood relatives, but close enough.
(Brother from another mother)
Lee Jones
Lee goes out of his way to be an abrasive, abusive butthead more often than not, so Kory's patience level with him varies. She has always thought him cute, but doesn't like putting up with his tendency to tear others down to make himself feel better. Recently, Lee seems to have undergone a shift in personality, allowing Kory's fondness to come back to the fore. In her teenage years she had a huge crush on him, but did her darnedest to never let it show because Lee's ego is big enough, and her own bruised enough. And now, she's not above using his hated full name to put him in his place when his disdain for comics becomes troublesome. There was also a rocky moment when Kory found out that her oldest friend is Evolved not from Lee himself, but from the pages of 9th Wonders. The fact that he hates the whole concept of Evolved and Evolved powers is another raw spot between them, even though they do love each other underneath all the drama. Lee is, however, listed on Kory's ICE listing in her cellphone.
Full name Ghanima (as Lee's is Leto), Nima is Kory's oldest and dearest friend. So much so that when Nima opened a new branch of The Secret Lair in Philadelphia, she asked Kory to take over the home branch in New York. The two are as close as sisters. They've known each other since Kory was a young teen first allowed to go into the big city alone, and have been best buds ever since. Even the distance to Philly makes no nevermind. They talk on the phone for hours.
Funnily enough, this former nurse and apparent jack of all trades is a neighbour. It took them both months to realize they lived in the same apartment building. They've since become very good friends, though they almost never manage to get together unless there's some crisis that requires them to. Still, Peter has trusted Kory, and she trusts him a great deal. They've grown quite close partly out of necessity, and partly because Peter's power means their abilities dovetail nicely. Peter calls her The Muse as an affectionate nickname and used Kory's own power to help her away from the light when she was dying. Peter is listed on Kory's ICE listing in her cellphone with a note that if you're calling Peter, you are not to contact Kory's mother.

(Well, he's the genius of love - He's got a greater depth of feeling)
Randall and Kory first bumped into each other at Enlightenment books, but didn't begin their acquaintance until he showed up as a customer at the Secret Lair, but he and Kory soon determined they had interests in common. He doesn't mind that Kory's a self-confessed weirdo. He's a bit weird himself. How weird she discovered shortly after a missed digit in a phone number had each of them waiting by the phone expecting the other to call. After a lovely month and two weeks together, Randall turned out to have been no different than any of the men in Kory's life. He wasn't able to cope with her unusual gift any better than anyone else and asked for a month to try to handle the way she uses her Evolved ability. After a month apart, Randall wasn't entirely convinced he could deal with the world she lives in. Kory's admirer Leslie turned stalker and forced the issue; he found Evolved to find and rescue her, which puts him irrevocably in the innermost circle of her heart. The events of August 08 caused Kory to become frightened for Randall's safety. They got back together shortly thereafter, but their lives took divergent paths, and an accidental situation led to a double misunderstanding on Kory's part that pretty much drove the final nail in the coffin. She still loves him, though. Randall is listed on Kory's ICE listing in her cellphone with a note that if you're calling Randall, you are not to contact Kory's mother. Significant Logs:First meeting: They saw each other briefly during Have You Seen This Girl but didn't actually speak to each other until Candy Apple. Their first date was in Sweet Somethings. They spent their first Christmas together in Christmas Catch Up. Randall found out about Kory's abilities in The L Word. They talked about their abilities in Two Guys A Girl And A Penthouse. Their relationship went on hiatus as of Fractured Dreams. They had a rather uncomfortable encounter during the hiatus in Cold Snap. Kory offered Randall the answer to any of his questions about her in Making Up Is Hard To Do, much to the dismay of her stalker. Kory reached with her dream ability across the furthest distance yet to Randall in Signal and Noise.

Ian "Sith Lord" Jackson
Ian began as a customer at The Secret Lair. He's geeky enough to keep up with Kory when she goes into geek mode, and a walking ball of sunshine. He's also awesome in a pinch; he'll catch a small child tossed from a burning building, and accompany a shaken up acquaintance to the hospital on a moment's notice. She calls him "Iron Man" affectionately and gives him a small Hero discount. His involvement in helping Randall catch Leslie and bring him to justice has cemented him in her mind as a dear and steadfast friend.

Hiro Nakamura
Kory has met the adorable little Japanese guy a couple times and thinks he's the most charming thing. She hasn't got to know him as well as she'd like, but Peter speaks well of him…which is usually enough to raise Kory's opinion of another person. His complete earnestness and genuine excitement are charming and infectious, which also helps. His kindness after a difficult moment has improved her opinion of him. He's her landlord now, but being Hiro keeps him offsite a lot.
AJ Murphy
AJ turned up at the Lair one day looking for a present for his brother. Since then, he's become a customer in his own right even though the geekiness still eludes him. Kory figured out awhile ago he's Evolved, and put him at ease that she would not be running off to share his secret with anyone. Since then, she's let him know she is also evolved. But it's more difficult for her to show him than it was for him to show her. First meeting:Kid Stuff for Mature Audiences

His willingness to sacrifice himself to save others makes her believe he's the same Peter, but his willingness to be savage and violent and vague makes her worry.
Gabriel Grey Kory knows full well this man was once the serial killer known as Sylar. She also knows he is a man trying to put himself back together, body and soul. Because she is acting as his therapist, she is extending him a lot of trust, but still remaining wary lest he turn back the way he has come.
Leslie Fuchs-Wacher ("Every breath you take…every smile you fake…") Leslie was kind to her during January of 08 when Randall had taken a break from his relationship with Kory. But kindness turned to stalking madness and the man's twisted affection nearly killed Kory and brought harm to at least one of her friends. She wants to forgive him, but she also knows that it'll be awhile before she considers him to have earned it.
Jane Forrester ("Jane's getting serious…") From Kory's point of view, Jane thinks Kory was wittholding information from her when Kory really didn't have any more information than she'd already given Jane. They're working together these days, but Kory tends to pad softly around Jane.
Charlotte Corday ("She moves in mysterious ways…") Kory wanted desperately to think of this person as a friend, given Charlotte saved Kory's life at Randall's behest. Only now, she has discovered the woman works for Pinehearst — who are The Bad Guys. Kory holds out hope that Charlotte can be swayed to see the truth about her employers.
Nathan Petrelli Kory's only met Peter's brother the one time, in his dreams. She doesn't know him well at all, though she is willing to help him simply by dint of being Peter's brother. Logan is another story.
Angela Petrelli The mother of the Brothers Petrelli. Kory met her when she hijacked a dreamwalk to someone else, which is by itself reason enough to consider her dangerous. She respects the woman just from her sheer presence, but she isn't sure she should trust her — particularly given what she's done to Peter, who has the lion's share of Kory's loyalty; to say nothing of her connection to The Company.
Noah Bennet Kory only knows him as The Man In The Horn Rimmed Glasses, and that much from Peter. She knows he's Claire's father and considers him dangerous, although Mrs. Petrelli says not unless you give him reason to be.
Enemies
Kory tries to get along with everyone, but some people have crossed a line and she has to consider them dangerous and toxic.
Novak Garibaldi ("Teacher! There are things that I don't want to learn…") Kory had approached him in the hopes of getting information on Pinehearst. But what she's seen in his dreams, augmented by what FuturePeter has told her, she considers him insane and dangerous, in that order.
Elisabetha Belmont Kory just met the woman, and her relationship to Novak, plus information from Peter places her in the insane and dangerous category. She intends to try to talk both of them out of their madness, so time will tell if they remain thus.
Benjamin Winters Since Kory found out Benjamin works for the Company and was involved in the kidnapping of Elena Gomez to blackmail Peter, Kory has regarded him as an enemy and someone to be avoided at all costs. She has cast a dream trigger on him that accompanies anyone saying his full name, to remind him of what he's done and what kind of man she thinks he is.
Alterniverses
In a future that is just a sharp and painful twist off of the timeline we know, Kory's relationships skew strangely as the darkness settles over the world.
Peter Petrelli remains one of Kory's closest friends, and since she became a recluse, she has quietly grown more and more fond of and devoted to him, but letting no sign of it show, until she fears she may lose him forever to his mission.
Randall and Kory had a terrible breakup in late 2008 due to Randall having decided having an ability and being a drug lord to make that happen was more important than his relationship. She feels he abandoned her; he feels she betrayed him. But she spends every waking moment — and that's 99.5% of them — trying to find a cure for Boost, and to protect Randall from harm while simultaneously throwing wrenches into his works.
Sophie (Mnemosyne) and Kory remain good friends and have a standing meeting each morning at 5 am. to go over issues that need her attention in and around the shelter owned by Niki
Kitty (Cassandra The Seer) and Kory are good friends, though they almost never see each other due to the latter's reclusiveness.
Leslie (Man Friday) strangely enough is recovered, thanks to Sophie's intervention. And now he works as Alfred to Kory's Bruce Wayne. He's her man Friday, gopher, financial manager, and pretty much devoted slave.
Gabriel (You've come a long way, baby) is Kory's patient and good, good friend. With time and her help, he has rebuilt his psyche into something stronger.
Ian (Life During Wartime) and Kory have remained friends. Ian insists that Kory should come out once in a while from her hermitage. She refuses him every time. He understands but never fails to ask so she knows she's missed. He works as an operative for the Muse in between waiting tables.
(Mr. Snow Miser) has grown into a strong and capable fighter and works as an operative for the Muse while still attending high school.
Micah (Hermes, God of Communications) has also grown into a strong and capable young man. As Hermes, the god of communication, he runs the internet and helps consolidate anti government and anti Boost operations and keeping information flowing from the Muse.
The Dogs Kory Walks
Dog
Personality
A toy Yorkie called Prince Trivet de Birmingham who doesn't so much walk as ride around in a totebag on her shoulder. His collar is studded with real jewels, not that Kory would tell anyone that.
An Old English sheepdog called Juliet, who is friendly and boisterous.
A black Standard Poodle named Ares. He is rather sedate for a poodle. Also huge. He comes up to Kory's hip when she's wearing shoes.
Ickle Ronniekins, a 75 pound black and brown Mastiff. The dog is as sweet as the name implies, but he looks big and fierce.
Mouse, another big dog. He's a Bernese Mountain Dog, also about 75 pounds. Very sedate natured and calm. He'd make a good guide dog, really.
The wacky cast of The Secret Lair, and Kory's Dogwalking Clients.
These are the NPCs Kory interacts with regularly. Chris Tango The Chrises are a couple who live on Central Park West. They own Ickle Ronniekins, spoil him rotten, and pay Kory the most for his care and grooming. Their palatial apartment has a room dedicated to Kory when she needs to stay with Ickle Ronniekins for more than a night at a time. Chris Tango is a hairstylist with an uptown salon. He also has big name clients, some of whom are recommended to him by other big clients. Chris Lindy is an interior designer. Chris Tango is why Kory's hair always usually looks great. Chris Lindy
Harry Dresden. A freelance private investigator who shares namesake with the character from the books; he has read the novels and enjoys them. In fact, he enjoys a certain increased clientele due to the name thing. He liked the idea of having a friendly dog to help with tracking and to make children and nervous clients more comfortable, so named his dog Mouse as well.
Random Geek Boys There are a few of these who play regularly at the Lair. The majority of them old enough to be interested in girls find her attractive. Most of them are well enough behaved to mind their manners around the attractive females who shop at the Lair.
Professor Neckbeard The cruel nickname given this young man by Lee was revealed to actually be the man's real name, mispronounced and misspelled. It's really Nequebaard. He admired Leslie's courage in deciding to pursue his dream woman, until he realized that woman was Kory, and to what extend Leslie was willing to go to get her. Now guilted by his part in the horrid tableau playing out, he has become a little more withdrawn, especially after snapping at a Lee who was wounded due to Leslie's machinations.
Key
Signifies Kory has walked into this person's dreams.
Signifies this person knows Kory is Evolved but does not know what her gift is.
Signifies this person knows Kory is Evolved as well as exactly what her gift is.
Signifies Kory is aware of this person's Evolved gift.
Signifies Kory knows this person is working with/for the Company.
Kory has a stalker. A regular Secret Lair customer named Leslie has decided she's the one for him. But Kory's in love with Randall. To complicate matters, Randall's discovered what Kory's doing with her abilities and put them on a break so he can get his bearings and figure out if he can handle having a superpowered girlfriend. How far will the lonely, poor little rich boy go to get the girl of his dreams?
Peter Petrelli from the future is a harbinger of a future too terrible to contemplate. He's asked Kory to turn his nickname for her into a title. He's asked her to become The Muse, and find people to work together against his future coming true.
There's a branch off the flow of the timestream in which Peter's warning didn't make it in time. In that future, Kory has become the Muse, and is a tragic figure making dreams come true, helping lovers uncross their stars, easing the pain of addicts, finding people, info brokering, and seeking the cure for the drug that gives people powers and horrible withdrawal. She exists as a recluse who interacts with her friends only via the internet or the dreamtime.
Magpies and Jackdaws - Sophie realizes the Muse has missed a visit and seeks Gabriel out to help find her. Messing with the Muse's powerful friends is a regrettable error.
Soundtrack of Sinistry
from the Xanadu soundtrack, "Magic" - Olivia Newton-John
Xanadu is the story of a muse sent to earth to bring dreams to life. It's technically before her time, but when you don't sleep, you catch a lot of movies on cable.
Some of the songs Kory's been singing since she started hanging more with Leslie:
Unfortunately, Kory is unaware that Leslie has embedded a subliminal track in the mp3s he sent for her iPod. The CDs of same he gave her for her spinning at the club are clean. Peterheard something off, but lacks the technical knowhow to have warned her! So she is being unwittingly programmed to respond to code phrases from the songs.
It was Kory's first opportunity to use her powers in-game. And I had to be creative not only to come up with a way to have Kory use them in this situation but to help the awesome person playing George with the running of the scene. Some of Kory's closest relationships and funniest nicknames have come out of this scene!
Co-comfort between Lee and Kory while both were going through different sorts of pain. Good character development for the both of them, and giving me the chance to sort out what Kory's power is like when in use.
An intense scene, unfortunately messed up by how crummy my RL work schedule was at the time. Kory gets the first inkling of what it's like for her power when dovetailed with something complimentary, and how it'll be when more than one dreamer is involved. Not to mention meeting Peter Petrelli and encountering the potential dangers of the future thanks to his precognition…!
The beginning of the Kory and Randall romance. Weird boy gets weird girl. Terribly cute and sweet. I'm a hopeless romantic, so this scene was right up my alley.
It was a silly little scene — Kory teaching Peter how his new ability through her works. But Kory, being an empathic and sympathetic character, tried to make it a lighthearted and fun experience, sensing even then that Peter was a man who walked in shadows and pain more often than not.
Kory finds out from 9th Wonders that Lee has an ability. The scene that grew out of that was tense, but ended with their relationship status quo only slightly changed.
Kory remembers Benjamin from the events of What's To Come, and what she saw him doing. This was a hilarious scene, because of her reaction to the mild-mannered Benjamin, and the potential for him to be a very dangerous bad man.
A significant moment in Kory's life. The man she's been seeing for a while has caught her using her ability. And that, in turn, is a great attraction to his unusually wired mind…which leads to the insecure she-geek hearing the L word from him for the first time.
I get to explore dream imagery with Peter in this scene a lot; Peter's shifting imagery inspired me to make a visual reference to Kory's broken heart after the events of Fractured Dreams, in which Randall and Kory went on break with their relationship as part of the TP we've been crafting.

Randall's player made a metacomment about something that happened in Visiting Hour which led me to envision the people in the scene as characters from The Wizard of Oz.
