CR CHART // LAST UPDATE 06/02/13。

( FAYE. )	______ His former bounty hunting partner who he loved to antagonize. Their history took some strange and sometimes traumatic turns in Paradisa, to the point where Spike wasn't sure it could recover to the mostly amicable relationship they used to have. Then she left and came back forgetting everything in this world, and he got a second chance at returning to a normal state. He's actively trying not to ruin her life, which is more effort than he ever put in before. It's a process, but as the only person from his world who can stand his company, he found out that it was something that he missed.

( GREN. )	______ Once was a musician and drug dealer with ties to the syndicate, and (most importantly) to Julia. Spike's initial sympathy for him has been strained since he first saw him on Callisto. That he sided with a man he swore revenge on had Spike question his sanity, and he's unlikely to regain any lost trust from his actions. Spike keeps his distance for the most part, aside from the times that he's felt personally vindicated, partly because Gren could have been someone Spike called a friend if circumstances had been different. As it stands, he chose to get involved and knows what to expect.

( VICIOUS. )	______ His best friend when they were in the syndicate, before Spike put a rift between them by having an affair with Vicous' girlfriend while Vicous was sent to fight in the war on Titan. Spike has been paying for the aftermath of that betrayal ever since, to the point of obsession by Vicious and the destiny he saw for them. Julia's death, along with Spike's loss of her memory, make for easy targets in their encounters. They've killed each other and still not settled their differences, so it's likely that the cycle will continue until one of them has the sense to stay underground.

( ANNE. )	______ Queen of England, and once Spike's unlikely employer. She's far from stable, but Spike sympathized with her from the first time he spoke to her, and found himself attracted to the danger she was so willing to put him in -- enough that he played to her whims more than anyone would have thought he could. His fascination with her has gotten him in trouble more than once, but ultimately he couldn't be honest enough to give her what she wanted. His attempts to make amends have ended in frustration and injury. It's become a sore subject, if only because he hasn't given up yet.

( ASHURA-OU. )	______ Elegant looking elf who Spike once mistook for a girl. One of the first people to welcome him to the castle some years ago, and who aided him several times. They've since fallen out of touch, but Spike will always remember who he owes favors to if he came to him.

( BROCK. )	______ One of Spike's best and most abused friends. Spike lived in his cabin for a time, and has used his garage to store the cars and various other things he acquires. Brock seems to accept Spike's faults, even enabling his sometimes ridiculous ideas. Also the person who has seen Spike at his worst and still doesn't grill him over his past or his more questionable actions, so he's proven to be more than trustworthy. It also helps that the two of them share a lot of common interests in fighting and cars and manly things like that. His only fault seems to be the company he keeps, but nobody is perfect.

( BUNNYMUND. )	______ Guy who may or may not be the Easter Bunny. Spike is still trying not to think about this one, but at least he seems pretty harmless. Just a little off.

( CROWLEY. )	______ Spike has layers of honest hatred for this guy. Crowley is the demon Spike originally blamed for the events leading to the demonic invasion that happened shortly after Spike arrived, particularly what happened to Faye. That Faye decided to date him afterwards was a thorn in Spike's side up until she left and lost her memories of their relationship. They have a long history of passive-aggressive taunting that worsened over time. Crowley has a tendency to encourage Spike's murderous intentions whenever he spends too long in his company. As such, he insists that the demon has been duping everyone into thinking that he's harmless, and has some strong opinions towards anyone who thinks otherwise.

( FRODO. )	______ A pretty cool guy for a hobbit. Enjoys the simple things in life, like a good smoke and a hearty meal, which Spike can appreciate. He's usually welcome company whenever Spike needs some mellow company. Spike does his best not to be overly worrisome with all the drama that tends to hang around him, but luckily, Frodo has an uncanny ability to keep their conversations light and personal issues set aside. There have been times that he's wondered if there's something he's hiding, but Spike returns the favor by keeping those concerns private. He's honestly hoping that the castle doesn't change him.

( GALE. )	______ Well-meaning animal lover that Spike would find far less annoying if he didn't have a habit of catching him at the wrong moments. Still, he seems like he would be good company in the right circumstances, and he's kept most of his judgment to himself -- which is really all Spike could ask for.

( HAPPY. )	______ Kid who likes to pretend that he's a DJ over the journals; something he's kept up for far longer than Spike would have originally guessed. (Mostly because he thought that someone would have put a stop to it.) Once or twice he's gotten too close to Spike's personal life through his broadcasts, but for the most part he leaves him alone. And as long as he does that, so will Spike, even if his taste in music is sometimes questionable.

( INO. )	______ Spike's favorite ninja nurse. She's been kind to him in his many visits to the clinic, and even took the brief loss-related-affection Spike had for her like a champ. (Although he's still unsure if she realizes it was a loss, seeing as how he never likes to talk about these things.) She seems to be one of the most stable people he knows here, and she's usually a welcome friendly face whenever their paths cross.

( JENNIFER. )	______ Woman with the face of an old friend. She doesn't seem to have the same love for engineering that Kaylee did, but she radiates the same kind of positivity that he was originally drawn to with her. Her dedication to her work is something he can admire, even if it means she's too busy for him to get to know her better. It's a little weird to try and find a replacement in that way, so he tries not to push it.

( JOSHUA. )	______ Spike is never sure where their relationship stands, or even what his feelings are about the non-demon, but he's come to owe him more favors than he'd ever care to repay and Joshua knows more about him than he ever meant to share. Rather than pry into the disturbing history that he's been given a glimpse into, Spike does everything he can to keep a casual distance between them -- something that's been harder to maintain as time goes on. There's a strange level of understanding that exists still, that as long as Spike is interesting rather than a threat, he has nothing to worry about from him. He's just as likely to find refuge in his mansion that he is to stand against him, however futile it may be.

( LEMONY. )	______ This guy talks way too much, so his points are usually lost on Spike. He also takes care of a baby who knows how to cook, so. Spike doesn't know what to make of him.

( LONDON. )	______ He doesn't know she returned, but hopefully she won't remember him or how he proposed to her after he ate a magical piece of candy. Despite that, and how clueless she can be, she's helped him out before (or tried to), so he doesn't particularly mind her. As long as he glazes over most of what she says.

( LUCREZIA. )	______ Joshua's girlfriend, which has been strange concept for Spike to accept. She seems either too naive to know what she's getting into, or too skilled at playing the game. Spike has protected her in the past, largely because of favors owed, but he feels genuine sympathy for her position and what she's been exposed to. And as much as he's tried to keep his curiosity at a minimum in issues surrounding Joshua, Lucrezia provides an intriguing window into that world that he can't help but peek into from time to time. In any case, he's attempting to keep their relationship friendly, and reduce the chances that any of the secrets Joshua knows would come her way. It's a surprisingly difficult task for such a spirited young girl, but he has a feeling there's more to her than it seems.

( MAL. )	______ Vampire and friend of Brock's. Despite his personal feelings about demons in general, he's managed to keep a positive relationship with Mal. She has a dry sense of humor that Spike enjoys, and as long as he doesn't catch her drinking the blood of anyone he knows, he can maintain his casual but friendly association.

( MOLOTOV. )	______ Brock's wife. They may have remained on good terms, if she hadn't first developed a friendship with Vicious. Enough time has passed now, that it may have been forgiven, but even if Vicious doesn't remember a thing about it, he can't quite bring himself to trust her. They've had some nasty fights over the years, especially after magically-induced holiday kissing, but he's restrained himself over respect for Brock. That may break some day, but nobody can say he didn't try.

( SHEENA. )	______ A ninja who became a surprisingly caring friend. She asks a lot of questions, but never anything personal enough for Spike to mind; instead he's come to appreciate her interest in the somewhat useless facts that he carries with him from his time. Sheena has helped him in the past, particularly when he's in need of food or a good alibi, so he's somewhat indebted to her; but unlike some, he doubts she would ever ask for anything in return.

( SIMON. )	______ Simon is someone that was important to Kaylee, who had been a good friend while she was around, so Spike was aware of him before he came to Paradisa. From what he knows, he seems to be a good guy. While they haven't become as close as Spike was to some of his former crew mates, Spike has his back just for the association.

( STEPHANIE. )	______ Stephanie has a habit of catching Spike in bad situations. It's almost uncanny. Still, he appreciates her sense of humor in the face of it all, and enjoys her company despite his suffering pride. She's proven to be someone that he wouldn't object to having around in a crisis. And possibly outside of them too.

( ZELOS. )	______ Healed his leg with magic once, while his body was possessed by someone else, but it's something Spike remembers. Seems kind of self righteous about helping others, but probably means well. He can put up with it from time to time, as long as the guilt trips are kept to a minimum.
