Alex Moreno – The Reluctant Leader
Occupation on Earth: ParamedicBackstory:Alex spent his life on the frontlines, saving lives in high-stress, chaotic situations. From car crashes to medical emergencies, he learned to stay calm under pressure and make split-second decisions that could mean the difference between life and death. His experiences shaped him into a natural leader, someone who shoulders responsibility even when the cost is personal.
Before Aervost, Alex's greatest fears were the limits of human fragility—he never imagined a world where the natural laws themselves could twist against him. Now, faced with the Veil and the horrors of Direford, he struggles to adapt his instincts for saving human life to a world where rules are warped and choices can be morally ambiguous.
Tara Singh – The Logical Mind
Occupation on Earth: EngineerBackstory:Tara has always trusted reason and analysis above intuition. From designing bridges to solving complex technical problems, she thrives on logic, planning, and calculated action. She is methodical and confident in her skills, but often skeptical of anything that cannot be explained.
Being transported to Aervost shattered her confidence in predictable systems. The inexplicable fog, Veil energies, and horrors around Direford force her to reconcile logic with survival instincts. Her sharp mind, however, becomes a crucial tool for the group, helping them decipher clues, assess danger, and strategize in a world where nothing behaves predictably.
Jordan Reyes – The Skeptical Humorist
Occupation on Earth: Freelance journalist / skepticBackstory:Jordan has always masked fear with humor. Quick-witted and sarcastic, he navigates stress by making jokes, even in situations that terrify him. On Earth, he covered controversial stories and conspiracy theories, always maintaining a skeptical eye and a healthy dose of cynicism.
Arriving in Aervost tests every ounce of his skepticism. Nothing here behaves according to reason, and laughter is often the only weapon against the creeping terror. Though he hides his fear behind jokes, his observations and intuition are key to the group's survival. Jordan's growth comes from balancing skepticism with the harsh realities of a supernatural world.
Liam Hart – The Folklore Scholar
Occupation on Earth: Academic / historian specializing in folkloreBackstory:Liam spent his life buried in books, studying myths, legends, and old tales of spirits, curses, and haunted places. He believed they were stories—symbols of culture and morality, nothing more. Quiet, thoughtful, and careful, he preferred the safety of research to action.
Aervost changes everything. Suddenly, everything he's studied feels frighteningly real. His academic knowledge is no longer just trivia; it is survival information. Tales of the Veil, twisted spirits, and haunted villages are now lived experiences. Liam must reconcile theory with reality, turning his knowledge into actionable strategy while confronting fear directly for the first time.
