The diagram has around 50 roles. As Jon mentions, the discovery process that XPLANE conducted really helped us refine our thinking around how to tell this story while pinning down the final list of characters. Essentially, we halved it; several roles were rolled into one, while others were simply not depicted because they were too specialized.

So, I would say they were developed by XPLANE in conjunction with Microsoft. I believe the best way to get in touch with the proper people who would be able to answer your questions about the poster would be to contact the twitter account they have setup at http://twitter.com/sitenameddesire. @Jacob – The cast of characters was created as part of the discovery process at XPLANE.

Also, I was wondering if you had contact information from the Microsoft staff, as would like to contact them regarding the poster?
