Tales from DOGA

Tales from DOGA is a PPC spin-off written primarily by Huinesoron, with cowrites by Raven Firedragon, Vemi, Kaitlyn, Neshomeh, and kippur. It was the first spinoff written for the Department of Geographical Aberrations. The complete spin-off can be found on Huinesoron's Webplex. It consists of 16 missions and 6 interludes. The mini-spinoff Envinyata, also on the Webplex, acts as a coda to Tales from DOGA and consists of 5 interludes.

Featured Agents

 * Dafydd Illian - unrepentant pyromaniac and founder of DOGA, operating out of RC 7219. Later revealed to be a Lord of the Rings elf, a badfic-clone of Maglor Feanorion.
 * Selene Windflower - DOGA agent with lightning powers. Later revealed to be a 200-year-old Stokerverse vampire. Dafydd's primary partner, operating out of RC 7219.
 * Vemi Fincaran - DMS agent who is weirdly susceptible to being turned into things. Works with Dafydd during mid to late 2004. They are never actually assigned any missions together - Dafydd just keeps tagging along with her. Based in RCs 1100 & 1101.
 * Constance Sims - DMS agent who is more than a little insane. Works with Dafydd mid-2004 onwards, ending up as his girlfriend and later wife. Based in RC 4952.

Support Staff

 * Bonsai Mallorn - DOGA's head of department, a small potted tree. Has a more equal relationship with Dafydd than most Flowers with their agents, due to their joint founding of the department. His office is in RC 7200.
 * Terri Ryan - DOGA Archivist, assigned by the Department of Personnel. Rarely if ever appears in person, but most DOGA missions carry notes from her at the start or end.
 * Thanduril the Mini-Balrog - looked after by Dafydd.
