The Cast
87 households. Every one has a reason.
The Cast is 185 hand-designed people who are the same in every dataset and always live on the Phoenix campus. Tests, help articles, and training classes can name them and trust they're there. Each household has a story and a list of what it's used to test.

The Crowd
And about 25,000 more.
Core 3 and Full 7 add generated households around the Cast. These people give the church its size and its statistics: who lives near which campus, how often people attend, and how giving changes over a year.
Crowd people are never named in tests or documentation. They're there so reports, charts, and searches behave the way they do at a large church.
About the photos
Fictional faces, real-life feel.
Every portrait is AI-generated to look like a casual profile picture a friend took, never a studio shot. Family members look related, and the long-time families Rock users know kept recognizable faces when their photos were refreshed.
A few people have no photo on purpose, such as duplicate records made from forms.
