Background: An easy-going, yet somewhat eclectic Water Mage, Lake is intrigued by the fluidic nature of Water Elementals and constantly works towards an improved understanding of these capricious spirits. Previously working for Aztechnology Magical R&D, Lake used his contacts to obtain unusual (and unauthorised) materials for his research, but his funding soon dried up when he was fired for abuse of company resources. Further problems arose when the surge altered his body while he was in the process of summoning a water elemental, irrevocably shifting his presence towards the Astral plane and his magical abilities towards water manipulation. To aid in his research, Lake is currently working for Mr Fowler as a Magical R&D consultant in the Seattle branch of Über Braun. |

Sharing Lakes curiosity for magical research, Faia often works with (or against) him in the lab, fuelling their ongoing rivalry as they vie to outdo each other with ever-greater discoveries. Wanting all of Lake's attention for herself, Faia can become extremely jealous and confrontational around other attractive females, especially Lake's Water Elemental, Shiva (see below), who is the only person she feels inferior to and thus hates with a passion.

| Lake's Water Elementals: Lakes first Water Elemental was conjured for some playful fun in his bathtub [^^]. Since then he has become somewhat attached to his elemental Nymphs and his summoning technique has been honed towards progressively more detailed female forms. His standard elementals range from Volvic, a simple sprite used for running errands, up to his most advanced and powerful elemental, Shiva. To improve their abilities, Lake will often augment his elementals with sustained spells before combat and he continually tries to keep them around long enough to teach them something new. |
|
| Faia's Fire Elementals: Lakes summoned a couple for Faia to use and to help with learning combat spells for her. |
