JJ is a programmer and a painter. She is deeply immersed in the digital world, possibly to the point of addiction. She is socially isolated, communicates only through digital means, and is constantly preoccupied with a game called Tetris. Her character provides a stark contrast to Dr. Kernel's more traditional lifestyle and perspective.

Dr. Kernel is a psychiatrist from the fictional German town Stuttberg, who has recently been introduced to the world of computers and digital communication, which has begun to change his way of thinking and his daily routine. This change is even affecting his relationship with his dog, Daemon, whom he has started to talk to in English, a language the dog is not used to hearing from him. However, Dr. Kernel also seems to be struggling with these changes. He is having difficulty focusing and is often distracted by his thoughts. He also seems to be experiencing some form of auditory hallucination, hearing a terrifying whistling sound that he compares to the beep of a computer modem. His wife, Tilda, is less interested in his technological discoveries and is worried about the way they change him. He has learned from JJ that his name, Kernel, meant the core of an operating system and that his dog's name, Daemon, meant a process running in the background. Thanks to JJ he's learning more about technology and hacker culture.
