Hey I saw your post about OCs and I'd love to try an help. The characters you have sound super interesting and awesome!! I'd love to read the whole thing when it's finished

Our Human Cast:

1. Anne Zuma Keagan, goes by Beth

A teenager, roundabout 18

Raised in a very rich family who runs a pharmaceutical company. She was taken care of by her Nanny(also the chef) and by her grandmother.

Her parents want her to marry a son of a family friend and push her to learning ‘useful’ skills.

Runs off to an engineering school and her parents let her, they think its mostly a rebellion phase

She’s kind of a Spitfire, if an odd one. Comes from high upbringing and has only learned to relax around the people she fell in with at college

2. Jordan (name a work in progress)

A distant cousin that she moved in with at school. Didn’t really know him beforehand. He’s also in the Engineering department

He’s one of the few who encouraged her to be herself, has no real strong feelings about Beth’s very formal family

About 24

Knows how to cook and enjoys it

He has bad luck with girls, mostly because he’s always nervous

Was kicked out of college for doing something stupid with Heath

3. Heath? (I have no idea on a name, help)

A food scientist who refuses to cook, Jordan’s only roommate before Beth moved in

He’s finicky and quick to argue about everything, but enjoys organizing

He’s caring about people deep down but usually comes across as kind of a brat

Quick to anger, quick to fear

A germaphobe

Was kicked out of college for doing something stupid with Jordan (he hid the fact that Beth was involved with the disaster so she’s still in school)

4. Budd (I’m just using this to refer to him, he doesn’t have a name yet either, :///)

Friends since elementary school with Heath

He has worked in the Cargo Company for several years

Of Indian descent, but he was born in America (Colorado maybe?)

Had a younger sister (4 years apart) who died when she was 12 - understands loss

Buddhist -- this actually is kind of an important theme in the story

Mellow, Accepting, Playful - kind of becomes an older brother to Beth

Enjoys Drawing, but actually very good at math/puzzles

Can cook but no one allows him too (tends to be bland)

5. Damani (I love him!)

He was originally a music major, gifted with a scholarship to a good school

Got into an accident and lost his hearing, lost his scholarship (or maybe it was turned into a Needs Based scholarship and he was offended by the pity)

About 25

Angry, feels wronged by society, self conscious about speaking, trust issues

He joined the Cargo Company after dropping out of college with ideas to use it to ruin/destroy the school

Violent-minded about everything, grumpy, tries multiple times to off people on the trip

The 3 guys like him and are convinced he likes them too, he’s just grumpy

After a mishap with his name tag when he first started, Jordan and Heath refer to him by any name that starts with ‘D’ - he hates them especially

6. June (and Liv!)

Middle aged woman, widowed (Deaf Husband called her his Junebug)

Used to be an animal researcher until she fell in love with the duck she was supposed to be experimenting on and escaped with him (don’t be weird, people)

Convinced they are after her, she stows away on the ship that the group happens to steal, so they are both along for the ride.

Excitable and fun, but plenty confusing and acts oblivious a lot, blunt honesty

Becomes something like a mother or a close friend to Beth, Cares for all of them

She knows Damani is trying to kill everybody, she just pats him on the head and moves on

Only needs 5 hours of sleep

The plot starts out on a slightly futuristic Earth, centered around a set of 4 guys working for an interstellar cargo company. (Damani, Jordan, Heath, Budd) When they hear about a discovery of a new planet within the galaxy that could possibly support life, Jordan and Heath make plans with Beth to grab one of the Food Cargo Delivery ships and go try to find it. Budd elects to join them. At the same time, Damani is plotting to steal a ship to go and destroy the college he went to, or at least cause a lot of trouble.

The 4 run into Damani during the heist and think that he had somehow figured out what they were doing and want to come along. He doesn’t. (He gets dragged along anyway) At the same time, our stowaways, June and Liv-the-duck, are asleep in the back of the ship, seeking a new life on the planet that the cargo was supposed to go to.

The 6 (7) leave Earth and shenanigans occur: No one can find out where June sleeps, Damani bonds with Liv, Budd draws pictures and hangs out with Beth, Damani tries to murder multiple people, Jordan is still doing science stuff (he’s kind of a nerd), Heath yells a lot and wonders why he came along, etc.

Then they run into a wormhole, ending up in the middle of who knows where. In front of them, 2 twin planets appear, surrounded by a ring of what looks like ice and millions of smaller rocks. They crash land.

Here we have our story divergence. Now we jump to the creatures living on the planet below. I’ll get to them in the next part.

Specifically I need help with Jordan and Heath, and name suggestions for Budd. June, Beth, and Budd already have physical descriptions, but no one else does.

But feel free to ask things about any of them!
