Worth more trouble than she lets on. Underneath those tired gray eyes Elliot is a sarcastic pessimist who is willing to do/say whatever is necessary to benefit herself at any moment- even if those moments usually end up getting her into even more danger. She has no idea how to go about saving the world or even where to take the first step, and the fear and uncertainty only grows stronger the longer she roams the country looking for a solution.

Fun Facts:

• Perpetually tired.
• Has a short fuse. Doesn’t tolerate being teased or insulted very well.
• Doesn’t bother living up to anyone’s standards, nor does she have the motivation to do so. The lack of ambition worries both of her fathers.
• Has gone through so many revisions, probably more than any of my other characters. Started off as a really cringe, not like other girls, self insert that I'd sometimes use as a mouth piece to preach about whatever was relevant in the early/mid/late 2000s. Now she's completely separated from me, no longer has the "not like other girls" mentality, and is her own person (we've both come a long way. Growth is real y'all).

Always on edge and talking to thin air, has a hard time acting normal and every failed attempt to fit in only shines a brighter light on their issues. Seth has a hard time seeing themselves as a normal person- or even anything that’s close to being remotely human- thus they always refer to themselves as a “monster” and often refuses to be called by gender specific pronouns because “what use does a monster have for those?”

There's more to the illness that Seth suffers from than meets the eye.

Fun(?) Facts:

• Is covered in scars, most of them are self-inflicted.
• Stronger than they look.
• Prefers to keep their hair long so it can hide their face.
• Seems to heal surprisingly quick from their injuries, not even being poisoned keeps them down for very long.
• Another character who had a massive facelift over the years. Seth started out as a generic, smart ass, love interest with secrets. Then they kinda became less generic, and less of a smart ass, and maybe a love interest? Now they're just a fucked up little guy having the worst day imaginable. All the time. Sorry buddy.

Lidia has no idea what she's getting herself into...

Something of a foil to Elliot's growing cynicism and apathy, Lidia is trying her best to be a supportive friend and the hardened guardian/warrior she spent most of her life training to become. The two get along well enough, and Lidia certainly means well, but it hasn't stopped the girls from clashing throughout their journey.

Fun Facts:

• Knows how much of a slime ball Dave is, animal instincts are good for something.
• Feels extremely uncomfortable and on edge around Seth, has no idea why Elliot is so close to them.
• Sometimes handles Elliot like a depressed sack of potatoes.
• The only one in the main cast who is not based on a previous character.

Unfortunately for Elliot, she's forced to learn this the hard way when she sparks his curiosity.

Fun Facts:

• Full name is pronounced differently each time it’s said aloud and Dave is probably doing it on purpose
• Waaaay back in the day, Dave used to be a Russian circus performer named Salazar. Had a crush on Eliot, he spoke in broken English, total mess of a character. So much happier with this version.
• Name used to be "David Jackson", it was suggested by my boyfriend because "nobody suspects a Dave". It's just his nickname now.

Working with his current client, Mathis, may not be exciting but he's not going to complain about getting paid for practically doing nothing. In his eyes, doing various odd jobs that range from abduction to “escorting” problematic people off the premises is the equivalent of going down the street to get a gallon of milk. It isn't until Mathis starts to put his grand schemes in motion that Lupus becomes a little more invested in what's going on, especially when the linchpin needed for everything to work disappears from the complex without a trace. Morally gray at best. He’s very aware of the complexities of hunting down a small child for sport and bringing them back to a lab to be somebody’s science project, but these thoughts don’t stop him from trying to complete his job.

He’s been hired to hunt down Elliot and bring her back to his current client, alive, but at the end of the day he makes his own rules.

Cooper (left) and Micha (right) Pembroke

The two met in their twenties during (what was supposed to be) a peaceful protest, with Micha barking up a storm and Cooper going around making sure everyone was hydrated. Neither of them even knew the other existed, it was very much a "right place at the right time" situation. It's hard for either of them to imagine what their lives would have been like if Micha didn't witness Cooper getting harassed by some cops and boldly stepped in to defend the smaller dog- landing both of them and few other protesters in a holding cell for the night. These days, two demanding full time jobs and a gaggle of kids they've adopted over the years make going to protests a bit of a challenge but it hasn't stopped either of them from telling their kids that they have a voice and shouldn’t be afraid to use it.

Despite their struggles and the scrutiny from the community, Micha and Cooper love their daughter very much and want nothing but the best for her but often struggle to understand her depression and pessimistic mindset. The couple are devastated by Elliot’s sudden disappearance, she’s never left their minds and they’re hoping she’ll be brought back to them soon. Neither of them are aware that she’s some kind of hero hand-picked by the Gods but if they were, there’s no doubt they would move mountains for her.
