I am always so pleasantly surprised at the evolution, this addition of background story about their lives and certain relationships will have made them even more interesting in several ways. It even makes them in a certain sense even more charming. (it gives them more character)
The story in general is really becoming very influenced by all these series and movies in the genre of "Supernatural", "True Blood", etc ... - I'm very passionate about this stuff.
Definitely, I really love your job. Moreover, I could see that you made a very good choice concerning your contributors / traveling companions in this exceptional work.
Take good care of you.
I leave you a big hug.
LOVES
John
