Hero · Narrator
Andrew Bensen
“A 27-year-old engineer from Earth, mysteriously vanished halfway across the universe. Caring and well-meaning, but reckless and impulsive. All he wants is to get home to the woman he loves.”
Cast of the Cosmos
Heroes & tyrants.
Many may look vaguely similar, but none look exactly human, apart from our protagonist.
The Centennial's Crew & Allies
Those who would change the galaxy.
Pilot · Captain of the Centennial
Biehn
“About eight metres behind me standing in a corner was a large grey fellow. His was the most human form of all… dressed in a button-up shirt, vest, a strange sort of bowtie, the works.”
The Professor's Niece
Sakeena
“At the bottom of a winding staircase, she stood magnificent, the sun glittering off of her sparkling ivory hair.”
Matriarch of Nolavor
The Professor
“Before me a little purple old woman emerged from within. She looked up into my eyes, and I beheld recognition.”
Genius Scientist · Former Revolutionary
Keldeek Vara
“He was a man of middling age, a good looking fellow, if hidden behind scruffier, more unkempt features. His skin was a deep olive green, his eyes nearly hidden behind a mighty protruding horn.”
Leader of the Caverous Miners
Wakello
“Before me stood a tall, prominent woman, her skin shone a dark blue, and appeared hard as stone, a tired face under a bed of scraggly wormlike hair.”
Cellmate · Prisoner of Fa Shee Kin Kala
The Man with no Name
“Anywhere on the body that you or I might have two of something, he had three. His three small, squinting eyes, or his three arms and legs.”
Loyal Companion
Socks
“A rather friendly weasel-like creature… upon our first encounter, he had crawled immediately into my shirt and worked his way up until he rested on my neck. He then proceeded to lick me, aggressively.”
The Balance & The Pirates
Those who would crush it.
Leader of The Balance
Berevoss
“A colossal, armoured figure… A shining crown of ivory horns rested upon his iron brow, while not a single drop of dust or blood fell upon his shining black and white metal attire.”
The Pirate King
Calibast
“A fat leafy creature. One that I would have almost confused for a poorly trimmed bush, had he not been wearing a crown and barking at his subordinates.”
Grunts of Empire
The Balance Soldiers
“A symbol decorated a patch on all their jackets… a silver circle, with an attached semicircle hanging below it. A kind of golden spear drives its way upward through the centre of both circles.”
