Characters List
Jason Alvarez
Jason Alvarez is the Aurora's navigator and stellar cartographer, responsible for threading a 1400-light-year trajectory to Kepler-452b with needlepoint precision. His work requires an almost obsessive attention to detail and a deep distrust of leaving anything entirely to automation—even in a ship loaded with quantum computing power. While the systems could handle most calculations autonomously, Jason prefers to double-check every variable by hand, using both logic and intuition.
Lucas “Doc” Walters
Walters acts as the emotional and medical anchor for the Security team. While Riley Thompson is the ship’s official physician, Walters serves as the hands-on, frontline medic. His grounded demeanor and strong moral compass make him a quiet stabilizer when the situation escalates. He’s not flashy, but his presence reassures his teammates. His ethical dilemmas—such as covering for Riley or Captain Morrow—hint at a man who feels the burden of his position deeply, even if he rarely shows it.
Dr Amir Qureshi
Dr. Amir Qureshi serves as the Aurora’s primary historian and archaeologist, selected for his ability to chronicle not just the technical evolution of human civilization, but the cultural soul of humanity as it steps beyond Sol. Where engineers and scientists advance the mission physically, Amir advances it existentially—asking not just how they survive, but what legacy they bring.
He was chosen for this interstellar voyage to document the founding of a new civilization, ensuring humanity never forgets where it came from. Amir sees Aurion (Kepler-452b) not just as a destination, but as a blank page for cultural rebirth.
Dr Clara Song
Dr. Clara Song is the Aurora’s foremost biologist, carrying the monumental task of ensuring life—both human and ecological—can survive and thrive on distant worlds. Her role extends from managing seed vaults and algae cultures to evaluating alien flora for compatibility with Earth genetics. Quiet, thoughtful, and deeply compassionate, Clara treats every specimen with reverence, whether it’s a seed or a fellow crewmember.
Her belief in the power of life to adapt drives her meticulous work. Clara views herself as a guardian of genetic potential, stewarding the Earth’s legacy into the future.
