Gender: Female
Birthplace: Anterrum
Sexual Orientation: Asexual
Alignment: Radical Overlooked (Not exiled yet, in hiding)
Appearance: Fitzy’s name may make her sound unassuming, but she’s certainly a threatening sight. Armed with a pair of blasters openly worn on a side holster, she also carries a ‘bag of tricks’ – a pouch made of heavy canvas on her right thigh, full of all sorts of useful objects. Everything about her seems rather worn; her clothes are stained, her shaved hair grows back in patches, and her boots are an assorted patchwork of materials. She is usually seen in a sleeveless shirt and loose cotton pants that she keeps tucked into her boots.

Personality:
-likes: Warmth, sunlight, technology
-dislikes: Cold, technology that can be tracked
-fears: Being caught by the government, her trial if she is
-hobbies: Tinkering, devising new methods to cause mayhem
Background: Fitzgerald was born in one of the larger inhabited zones of Anterrum as an only child to two hardworking parents who were members of the Overlooked. Her father oversaw recharging of Potentium crystals, and her mother worked in a lower branch of the local government. Both spent much of their time trying to sabotage their jobs in any way possible.
However, Fitz’s father became careless, and was caught smuggling crystals out of their charging area and promptly sent to trial before the Council of Twelve. No verdict was ever sent back to his family, and he was never seen again.
Not long after this, Fitz’s mother began to teach her a variety of survival tactics ranging from sewing and fire starting to bomb building and radar jamming. She took to all of this like a fish to water, and not long after her eighteenth birthday, joined a group of radical Overlooked members in her city. After several impressive displays of political sabotage, including two major bombings and an assassination of a rather important government official, Fitzy decided her time in her hometown was through. When she isn’t actively attacking the government, she is often hiding near one of the desert oases, modifying weaponry, meditating, or trying to befriend the local wildlife.
Relationships: Was very close with her mother, though she has no idea where she is now. Remembers her father fondly, but rather vaguely.
Additional Information: Strict vegetarian, she hates seeing animals killed (unless they’re trying to kill her). She believes her father was exiled, and hopes to find him some day.
Basic items in her bag: Two flathead screwdrivers of different sizes, compass, twelve feet of paracord-style braided rope, sewing kit, flint + steel, small knife. Other items come and go as she finds/finds use for them.
Fitz also carries a canvas backpack that usually holds a small tent and a blanket. She makes a point of never placing anything essential or incriminating in it, in case it is grabbed and she has to abandon it.

Personality
Before, Cloria was always such a happy girl. She was responsible, helpful, kind and at times almost mind-numbingly innocent. In her small town, she was known by just about everybody to lend a hand, or give a sweet smile in passing.
Now she can hardly bring herself to speak to anyone, allowing herself to be swallowed up in her frustration and grief. She keeps her head down in a crowd, her mouth and nose buried deep in the collar of her jacket or her scarf. She says not a word, because she knows it won’t matter anyway.

Background
Cloria Ely-Farrow was born and raised in Makires, a world of abundance and luxury. She grew up away from such privileges, however. Cloria resided in a place that is less populated, the small village of Four Lakes, appropriately named for the four bodies of water surrounding the community, narrow roads between the lakes connecting them to the outside world. The land is more or less dense with trees and smaller plants. The townspeople obtain their food from woods and the lakes.
Cloria is the daughter of the town mayor of Four Lakes, Mortimer Ely. She was always so fascinated, watching him orchestrate and direct the entire community, but she was most drawn to the preservation of their environment. Coexisting with nature had been ingrained in her from a young age. When she was 17, became an intern in the town hall, and at age 18 it was arranged for her to go study at a university in the nearby city of Mercer to educate herself on how to better integrate natural environments into their homes and daily lives. Like Earth's famed metropolitan areas, these cities are large, cultured, and vastly resourceful, indicating high wealth. Here, she would have educate studied topics that had been perfected by her people, ideas that would help a civilization be prosperous while allowing the world to thrive alongside them.
Thirsty for knowledge and highly naive, Cloria attended one of the more minor universities, as was affordable for her and her family. High off of overwhelming life in a new city, it was easy for her to get taken advantage of by people who didn't quite have the best intentions.
On her way to a tour of a governmental building for one of her classes, she was invited to lunch by one of her classmates. He was older with a spotty attendance, but intelligent, not to mention easy on the eyes. His warmer skin tone and amber eyes suggested that he was from the Anterrum, these traits common among people who spend so much of their time in the sun.
During their quick meal, she had left the table briefly enough for the young man to slip a device into her bag. Upon returning, the girl realized she had little time left before her tour and made a hasty departure. Given that it was an important facility, often used for representative conferences and occasionally hosting the Council of Twelve, there was a certain amount of security that she needed to go through, including the search of her bag. It's safe to say Della did not pass the checkpoint. The man had placed an explosive device in her bag, powered by an obscene amount of Potentium. With that mass of energy, had the device been detonated, there would have been considerable damage done to the facility and the people around when the blast went off.
Immediately, she was seized and jailed by the government. They were going through a period of heightened terrorism, plagued by cells of the Overlooked, who lurked in the darkest parts of Mercer.
No matter how she pleaded innocent, Cloria had no evidence that she was in fact without guilt; she had been seen with the rebel, had been found with a deadly weapon in a highly populated area, and she had not a single shred of proof that she was not herself connected to the Overlooked. While some of the conspirators involved had been caught, including the young man who had planted the device, she was not released. With the true criminals, she was exiled to the realm she had heard horror stories of-- Earth.
For the past three years, Cloria has been stranded on Earth, wandering the country known as the United States of America. She has avoided major cities, unable to stomach the smog and the noise, only going to interact with people to steal supplies that she can’t get from the sparse, neglected nature that she now calls home.
All that time walking aimlessly with no one to talk to but herself and animals she comes across, she has been thinking. In the last few months, her wandering has been with a purpose, searching for the people who got her into this mess, the Overlooked, some who were still causing trouble here on Earth. Cloria’s loneliness and homesickness has grown to an unbearable level, and she knows the only way she will be getting off this doomed rock is if she has some help.

(Last name is traditionally first. Mainly he just goes by Ming.)
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Anterrum
Sexual Orientation: I'll find out.
Alignment: Civilian
Appearance:
Additional description:
-5'10"
-174 lbs.
-black; short, spiky
-deep brown, almost black
-light medium olive
-lean; athletic
-many tattoos
Personality: Seems a little blunt and gruff when you first meet him, Ming just tends to keep to himself and only seems to pay attention when Overlook members are sighted or there have been news of them being captured. He is quite resentful towards himself for not seeing what his siblings were doing, and a little resentful towards his parents for not catching on faster either. Mostly he comes across as calm, but I would say he's more patient with the chance to get fired up if certain circumstances are met.
-likes: swimming, reading, fishing, stargazing
-dislikes: things not working, people with opinions on things without having a full education on the subject, interruptions when he's concentrating, super sweet foods
-fears: hearing his siblings on the list of exiles
-hobbies: a racing/mechanic group (they modify vehicles and test them out in races), cooking
Background: Ming born as the third child to the Zhou family. They lived at an oasis town at the time and a couple years after Ming was born, he had a little brother come after. They lived there for a few more years, but after a particular harsh year and the threat of shortage of water, the Zhou family left and headed towards a a larger city.
Ming was always close with his siblings, but he was closest with his younger brother. They did everything together; though most of the time, Ming was dragged into all kinds of adventures because he took on the duty of watching over his younger sibling and his younger brother was quite mischievous.
Since the Zhou family came from such rural means, they didn't have a lot of money and Ming started at a young age working, along with his siblings. They did struggle to make ends meet, but generally they were happy. Until Ming's oldest sibling began to drift with some more shady crowds and since everyone worked, no one really caught on until the youngest of the Zhou family began to drift as well. From there, Ming tried his best to stop his siblings from getting into trouble, but suddenly they disappeared, though Ming is pretty sure they joined the Overlook. It's been a couple years since they disappeared and Ming works as a mechanic at the facility that powers the city.
Relationships: He lives near his parents and occasionally, Ming and the sibling before him visit them to make sure they are all right. They are a little better off financially now. And then there are the rest of the Zhou kids, running about with the Overlooked.
Additional Information: Sometimes Ming joins in some more crazy races like ones that cross deserts and he tries to win prizes to help his family gain a boost for their financial situation. Also, he taught himself to read and is the only one to complete the equivalent of high school in his family.

Additional description:
-5'6"
-137 lbs.
-auburn; long, reaches to her shoulder blades, a slight wave
-pale jade green/celadon
-ivory pink
-not overly curvaceous, some muscle, but not very athletic, willowy
Personality: Carolien started off quite naive, but as she has grown, her curiosity has enlightened her more to the realities of the world. She deeply regrets that she never had the chance to fully connect with her father and she secretly hopes she can find a way to at least communicate with her father despite his Exiled status. She still is influenced by her privileged life which may make her seem insensitive to those not as well off and even arrogant. But overall, she has good intentions, though sometimes she can be too stubborn. And when it comes to her arranged marriage, well, she is certainly angry at her mother and she is contemplating on ways to scare off her
-likes: chemistry and science, sitting in the garden, attending science lectures
-dislikes: celery, her overbearing mother, those that discourage curiosity
-fears: of getting lost (she was forgotten once as a child and it still stays with her on some level), claustrophobic
-hobbies: playing piano, reading science journals, writing her own music
Background: As an only child and also being born on Makires, Carolien had a very stable standard of living. She wanted for nothing and she was the center of her parents' lives until they divorced when she was five years old. She was taken under her mother's custody and from an early age, Carolien was taught that a woman could stand on her own as long as she did what she was told. It didn't really come across her mind when she was young how hypocritical this view was, but Carolien accepted it as she did with many things.
Mostly, ever since the divorce, Carolien's mother was alcoholic and she thought the only way for their family to move forward was for Carolien to find a perfect husband, preferably wealthy and a government official. She pressured her daughter on how it was only right for those with technology should regulate those who aren't educated and it was basically from her mother that Carolien developed a support towards the Paramount.
Her mother thought it'd be best if Carolien was educated, so that she has more appeal when she was older. Carolien went to a private school when she wasn't living with her mother and it was there that she developed an interest in the sciences and technology. Her mother never really approved of Carolien's interest (she thought it wasn't womanly), which made Carolien even more curious and so she has devoted a lot of her time into learning more about the scientific world.
Around when Carolien was eighteen did she get in touch with her father again, though her relationship with her father didn't last long as he was Exiled a few years afterwards. Since then, Carolien has begun to question the Paramount and the Overlooked cause. Recently, her mother somehow came to an arrangement with a powerful and wealthy family and it is planned for Carolien to marry their son.
Relationships: She's not very close to her mother ever since her father was Exiled.

(Last name is traditionally first. Mainly he just goes by Jun.)
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Anterrum
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Alignment: Overlooked - not yet exiled
Appearance:
(view spoiler)
Additional description:
- 5'10"
- 150 lbs.
- dark brown, soft, slight waviness
- dark brown
- tanned light olive
- lean, athletic, lanky
- bite mark scars on his left calf
Personality: Jun comes off as a lighthearted, playful guy that doesn't take life too seriously. He's very spontaneous in his decisions and often acts on impulse or feeling. He's a bit of a daredevil, competitive, and a risk taker, having no qualms about throwing himself into harms way to go after what he wants. Jun does have a serious side that he doesn't like to often delve into because it tends to make things hurt more. He loves his family and friends more than anything and tries to do what is right, or at least what he feels is right. Another downfall is his naivety.
-likes: sweet things, traveling, meeting people, competition
-dislikes/fears: the government, rich people, predatory animals
-hobbies: fighting practice, swimming, climbing trees, exploring
Background: Jun is the youngest of four siblings. As such, he was constantly striving to compete and catch up to his brothers and sister, especially Ming since they were the closest in age and closest friends. When he was growing up there wasn't a day he truly felt deprived or small and his family didn't find a way to turn things around for him. Ming saved him from many a dangerous situation for being the responsible one when Jun was trying to run headfirst into danger.
Much like his other siblings, Jun started working at a young age to help support the family and had to balance school and work, though was never really able to successfully do so. He wasn't the brightest student, but his brother Ming was always the smart one and would help him out with the difficult subjects when he could. Jun's own interests usually lied in athletics or languages because he was always very social and energetic.
As he got older, the family had increasing difficulty seeing each other, but that didn't mean they cared for one another any less. Three years ago, however, his eldest brother became noticeably more and more absent, though everyone simply assumed he was busy with work. It wasn't until he stopped coming home altogether that they assumed he had left to join the Overlooked. Jun was worried, but he never stopped considering him family. The loss of income was difficult on the family but they endured.
A couple months after the eldest brother's disappearance, Jun's father had fallen ill and they were having trouble finding funds for treatment. Jun was out looking for work when he ran into his lost brother. After a quick update, it was made apparent that Jun could earn the money quickly if he joined the Overlooked and go to work for them. At first Jun was hesitant, but after an argument with his brother, he uncharacteristically went against Ming's warnings and left his family to join, returning only once briefly in the middle of the night to deliver the money for treatment.
Since joining the Overlooked, Jun has been able to stay on the outskirts of the organization, maintaining a public job but providing information and aid when necessary and safe.
Relationships: Despite his involvement with the Overlooked, Jun dates occasionally. Though, he never gets in serious relationships due to his connections and tries to keep things light and fun. He has three older siblings in addition to his parents, but is currently only in touch with his eldest brother.
Additional Information: Jun is actually a very talented salesman because of his impeccable people skills and he likes it because he gets to work with people. He also has a habit of running places as opposed to walking. A while ago he got attacked by a wild dog (how he got his scar) and now he tends to be nervous or uncomfortable around animals.

Personality: Marika is a very serious, goal-oriented woman. She is direct and decisive, preferring not to dally or waste time on anything she views as frivolous. If she makes small talk, it tends to be with people she has already established a comfort level with. She can manage proper appearances with strangers, but tends to excuse herself from the conversation quickly to move on to the next person.
-likes: order, cleanliness, gardens, bargaining, debating, fashion
-dislikes/fears: chaos, disorder, most people her age, dancing
-hobbies: organizing files, visiting with her father, reading medical research regarding her father's illness, taking care of the household
Background: Marika grew up in a privileged, heavily cushioned lifestyle. Her mother died when she was young, but her father was a very present and influential figure in her life. When she was old enough, he often brought her along to work events and meetings. Often she had been quiet and well behaved during the meetings but once it was just the two of them again, they would talk for hours about their own thoughts and opinions. Some might say that Marika never had a typical childhood because she was never truly treated like a child. She was raised under expectations of grace and composure and any behavior otherwise had not been tolerated. She had not got along well with other children her age because they often wanted to go do things she viewed as pointless, but they would refer to it as "fun."
When she was seventeen, she allowed to even weigh in on the meetings on occasion and took more responsibilities upon herself in running the household and taking steps to pursue an education in diplomatic affairs. In school she was barely able to befriend other students she considered to be serious enough for her company, but she'd been so accustomed to relying on her father and his colleagues for companionship, that this hardly bothered her.
A couple years ago, her father had taken ill and his symptoms have been managed but are yet to be cured. As such, she has been stepping in for him on days he is too sick to attend Paramount gatherings.
Relationships: Her father is the closest person to her in her life and she cares deeply for him. She considers many of her colleagues to be on friendly terms, but few are truly considered her friends. Romantically, she tends to be more interested in older men or those who can more easily communicate with comfortably (which tend to be older diplomatic types. Of course, most of the people in such category are already in committed relationships and she knows better than to start anything there. There have been occasional flirtations with married men and even a secret kiss here and there, but never any substantial relationships.
Additional Information: Marika is excellent at negotiating and keeping up appearances, but she lacks in most things domestic. She could spend all day organizing files, but could not keep a garden alive to save herself.

Short and rather unassuming, the boldest thing about Zigfried is his name. Usually seen in plain colored work clothes, his assignment to Karana has made him grateful for sweaters and heavy coats.
Additional description:
-height: 5’4”
-weight: 145
-hair color and length: Bright blond, shoulder length
-eye color: Blue
-skin tone: Tan
-body type: Muscular
-distinguishing features:
Personality: Appears very quiet and withdrawn; is heavily invested in his main studies on Potentium growth and a smaller side study on moral ethics.
-likes: Geological science, meditation, cool colors
-dislikes: Ignorance, moral dilemmas, wobbly chairs, broken things in general
-fears: The Council, making poor decisions that affect others
-hobbies: Repairing things, learning new information
Background: Zigfried was born in a large, bustling city on Makires, and as soon as he was old enough to talk, he was asking questions. His parents, both lower class workers, had few answers for their son, and began enrolling him in any classes that would accept him. He was a quick learner, and the difficult classes he was able to test into after only a few years in the education system did nothing to deter him.
At sixteen years of age, Zigfried left the traditional education system and began to focus his studies on the world around him. For several years, he studied philosophy and history, and in this way learned about the plights affecting the lower classes of other worlds due to the lack of Potentium. Immediately disturbed by what he learned, he shifted the subject of his studies to geology, specifically how Potentium is created and how it grows. It was also at this time that he carefully began looking at the Overlooked, mainly in the terms of the group’s history so as to avoid suspicion if he were caught by anyone who might ask too many questions. Most of the books he read were heavily biased, but he still began to feel some sympathy for the people who were so determined to fight for a decent life.
This, of course, was before the Overlooked killed his mother. When Zigfried was 27 and nearing the end of his studies, his mother left Makires to visit relatives on Anterrum. While there, she and dozens of other innocent civilians were killed by a series of bombs that also killed dozens of government officials, injured hundreds of other people, and nearly destroyed two buildings. Immediately, any sympathy Zigfried had for the group was replaced with absolute horror, and though he still has continued to study how Potentium is created, he has no idea how he will use the knowledge if he finds it.
In his most recent studies, he has found himself in the mines of Karana, studying and testing Potentium in its natural, unmined state. Though he does not mind the cold, the seeming fruitlessness of his studies are beginning to wear on him.
Relationships: Zigfried tends to keep to himself and focus on his studies. However, he still keeps in close contact with his father, and is very fond of his lab assistants and those who help him with his work.

Personality: Maryn is a very hard-working girl. She is responsible for the most part and isn't the best businesswoman, but she's still learning and loves the work that she does. She tends to listen to others as opposed to being upfront in the conversation and goes with the flow. She is avid about recycling and likes to reuse products any way she can. She is a bit of an introvert and doesn't like to go out much aside from hikes or coffee/tea with friends.
-likes: animals, plants, recycling, gardening, reading
-dislikes/fears: wasteful people, snakes, spiders, losing her business; never seeing the world.
-hobbies: hiking, singing, talking with local schools about the environment, reading travel books
Background: Maryn had an average, happy childhood. Her parents weren't terribly rich but were able to make ends meet without much trouble. Her parents were high school sweethearts that fell out of love after fifteen years of marriage. They divorced when Maryn was around twelve. Her father moved away a year later for a job across the state. Although her parents were no longer in love, they still made the best of their situation and put their daughter first. If they were going to fight, it would be calmly and never in front of Maryn. They were even able to remain friends or at least on friendly terms. Maryn stayed with her mother growing up because her parents thought it would be best for her to stay in town where she already has friends and roots. Of course, she was always welcome at her father's home any time.
Maryn's mom, Joanna, owned a flower shop and had a passion for botany. She'd share stories about the different kinds of flowers they sold, which one held which meaning, funny little tales she'd imagine about how they got their names or how they were discovered. Maryn grew to love the plants as well and would eventually go off to study botany in college. When she was twenty two, it was a particularly heavy storm and Joanna ended up getting in a fatal car accident.
Devastated, Maryn coped the only way she could and threw herself into her work and the business. Her father offered her a home with him, but she insisted she needed her friends and the shop more than ever now and decided to stay in the city. After a couple years passed, she was able to heal and manage a decent life for herself, though she can get a bit lonesome some days.
Relationships: Between tending to her business and her extracurriculars, Maryn doesn't have a lot of time for dating. At least that is the excuse that she tends to use the most often. She actually finds the practice very uncomfortable and tiresome and struggles to find someone better suited for her. Her father is someone she keeps in contact with occasionally, but he lives on the other side of the country, so she isn't terribly close to him. She spends much of her time with friends instead.
Additional Information: There's a neighborhood cat that she takes care of partially named Cheeseball and he is orange and fat, but incredibly elusive. She's no longer surprised when she catches him snooping around her greenhouse for mice. The tattoo she has is a play on "green thumb" since their connection through gardening was such a large part of their relationship and shaped who Maryn came to be. After her mother's death, she went through a bit of a dark phase, though she doesn't remember most of it because she drank a lot. Now, she rarely drinks alcohol and if she does, it's never more than one drink. She takes the bus on rainy days.

Personality: Elric can be abrasive and blunt, but some people would argue that it only adds to his bad boy charm. He is a bad boy in the sense that he doesn't run from trouble when he sees it approaching. He's more likely to dive headfirst into it. Fights, alcohol, and shouting are all regular aspects of his week. He does not fit the bad boy mold, however in the sense that he volunteers some of his time to a local shelter and manages to get along with the animals well enough. He also has his zen moments when he's out napping on hills. He doesn't like conversing with earthlings, but will when he has to. He prefers keeping company with other Overlooked Exiled.
-likes: comic books, training, cloud watching, motorcycles, music
-dislikes/fears: earth/earthlings,
-hobbies: tinkering with his bike, exercising, walking shelter dogs, taking naps in parks
Background: Elric grew up in an upper middle class family in Makires. His father worked as a veterinary doctor and his mother was a musician with a decent reputation. Elric didn't start experiencing distrust of the law and government until he was around seventeen and three of his close friends suddenly fell into poverty. His parents couldn't offer much comfort aside from telling him to focus on himself and his future and try to make new friends. Elric did not like this ideology that those who fell behind were beyond help, especially when they hadn't done anything wrong in the first place.
He tried to keep in touch with his friends, one of which joined the Overlooked. Without realizing it, he got pulled further and further into the organization and before he knew it, he was eagerly fighting for their cause, having abandoned his family around the age of twenty. Three years later, he was caught robbing a wealthy man's home for organization funding and after he was linked to the Overlooked, was exiled to Earth.
Elric strongly dislikes Earth and misses his home and family, though he couldn't imagine facing them. He somehow has made his way on the strange planet, though often has difficulty maintaining jobs. He's worked in retail, janitorial services, advertising, and now has a part time modeling job and a job with the animal shelter in town (the latter he has held for almost a year now). He shares a small apartment with room mates that he doesn't see too often, which is good enough for him.
Relationships: Elric a mother, father, and younger sister (should be around eighteen now), but has severed relations with them and has no idea how they are. He has a few other Exiled friends, but hasn't made any human friends. He prefers to keep as much distance as he can from them. Acqaintance/friend(?) of Rhea Ferryn.
Additional Information: Elric can play the guitar a little bit, but not too well. He just knows a few chords. He also is surprisingly good at cooking.

Personality Rhea is extremely driven and conscientious. She has a strong sense of justice and fairness which charged her loyalty to the government and the Alliance. She truly trusted in the importance of having a powerful government to create laws and rules and believed it played a detrimental role in keeping the peace. A peaceful person herself, it wasn't uncommon for people to label her an introvert, but that would be incorrect, she simply valued thought and carefully considering all aspects of a problem or idea before sharing with others. Extremely loyal, Rhea held her family close and enjoyed quiet evenings at home in the company of her loved ones.
After the death of Rhys and the realization that the Alliance was not what she put her faith into, Rhea snapped; She became neurotic. Her faith in justice was shattered leaving her distrustful and hungry for revenge. Her strong ideals of fairness drove her to make rash decisions and soon she lost all sense of self causing her to grow even more angry and frustrated. Her nomadic traits came to the surface and she soon cut ties to her community. Her only motivation on Earth is to get back home so that she can rejoin the Overlooked and rightfully achieve revenge on the Alliance for the death of Rhys. With two of her fears achieved, Rhea is struggling to keep herself from unraveling completely.

Background
Rhea was born and raised in Karana and never traveled outside of her realm. Her parents, Torin and Celie, were cave dwellers and active, well-liked members of the community. Rhea and her brother Rhys were raised not only by their parents, but by the other adults in their community. The two, Rhys especially, grew to work well with people and developed a 'go-with-the-flow" attitude as a result of their communal raising. Although they were cave dwellers, Celie had nomadic family members who would occasionally visit to regroup and rest their herds. It was because of these moments that Rhea began to develop a nomadic personality. She loved the idea of trekking across Karana with animals, but she especially loved that it was above ground with an all access view of the sky and, more specifically, the stars. While she begged her parents to let her leave with her extended family, they refused.
When Rhea was 19 her father passed away due to illness. It was a hard time for the family, especially Celie, but with the help of the community, they pushed through and learned to hold the memory of Torin near their hearts as they proceeded with life. As a result of his death, Rhys took his place as a miner of Potentium within the caves. It was then Rhea became aware of the corruption within the Alliance. Unsure of what to do, she often would confide in Rhys, who did his best to settle her worries. However, as the Paramount demanded more Potentium and restricted proper mining tools from Karana, there was an accident in the mines, resulting in of Rhys' death.
The death of her brother, which occurred only 4 years after that of her father, flipped a switch in Rhea. She became bitter and angry- at the Alliance, at the Paramount, at the entire population of Makires, blaming them for the accident and countless others that resulted in the loss of innocent loved ones. Although she had only been a secret supporter of the Overlooked, she joined soon after and got involved in smuggling Potentium to the other realms for significantly lower costs. Although she hid her membership superbly, her role as a smuggler was found out and she was exiled immediately.
As of now, Rhea is approaching the one year anniversary of her banishment to Earth.

Additional Information On earth, Rhea practices a nomadic lifestyle. She avoids any form of air travel due to lack of trust of the technology, and therefore stays on the continent on which she was exiled to- North America. It didn't take her very long to figure out where the climate was most like Karana and she slowly made her way there. She limits all contact with humans and works various night jobs to earn money.

-He always has some kind of scratch from an animal on him, but nothing permanent.
Personality: Kind of quiet and shy, Peter doesn't stand out very much until he's helping out with animals. He is calm, caring, and gentle, always making sure that an animal feels safe. Sometimes Peter wishes he was more outgoing like some of his friends and because he doesn't always speak his mind, he gets into situations where he isn't really happy but he'll bear with it.
-likes: animals, the ocean, music, singing (he only sings when he's alone)
-dislikes: animal abuse, being unable to help, horror genre
-fears: his mother being taken away (he knows his mother's exiled status is permanent, but it's sort of a childish fear that is with him), failing in his degree
-hobbies: volunteering at animal shelters; assisting at a vet clinic
Background: Peter was born to a human and an Exiled parent. He's the eldest child with a younger sister that is seven years old. As a child, he remained oblivious about his mother's unique background and heritage. He only knew that his parents often whispered late at night when they thought he was sleeping. Peter was the type of child to listen and observe and hardly fidget. He was quite shy in school and at home, he usually can be left to his own devices. The only times he got excited was when he read about animals or watched a documentary; Peter absolutely loves animals. In school, Peter was a decent student, but he would get into fights sometimes when he saw other kids be mean to animals. He played some sports, hung out with friends, and did a lot of normal things as a kid.
When Peter was fourteen, a stranger came to their house, claiming to be old friends with his mom, which was odd because Peter's parents never spoke about his mother's past. He had grown used to having his mother avoid telling him her past and he was simply happy to be with his family and then his newborn sister came into their lives. Life was good. But this stranger brought in a lot of questions for Peter and one day, he eavesdropped on a conversation his parents had with the stranger. In that one conversation, Peter learned that his mother was Exiled from the planet Karana and after his father saved her from a drowning incident, they eventually became a family.
Unable to resist some anger and distrust, Peter had revealed himself to his parents and demanded more answers. From then on, Peter was included in their conversations and he found out that his parents made their home a safe haven in case any Exiled happened to land nearby.
Now Peter is attending college in a degree as vet and he often volunteers in animal shelters, but he has decided to join an environmentalist group because of a requirement for one of his classes.
Relationships: Peter is pretty close to his family and he absolutely adores his younger sister and spoils her a lot.
Additional Information: He has a pet turtle named Mr. Grumpkins. He wants to adopt an amputee dog named Chester from the clinic he's working at, but Chester still needs to heal a little more before that. Peter can also sing quite well; mostly he liked to sing his sister to sleep.

- 5'2"
- 120 lbs.
- dark brown, soft, slight waviness
- sky blue
- light olive
- soft, curvy, youthful, lacking muscle
- She's got a large birthmark on her right forearm
Personality: Nymme tends to be a cheerful girl that delights in most things, though she's currently a bit down in the dumps due to her situation. She absolutely loves technology and works towards understanding it more. She grew up in a very prestigious and respectable household, wanting for nothing, but was shown the value of hard work and the importance of the working class. She has a strong sense of duty and obligation, but ever since she was Exiled, she'd been rather lost. She's always interested to hear stories of secret stashes of Potentium, but she can't really imagine returning to her planet. She holds the heavy burden of her crime and is very cautious around staircases.
-likes: sweets, technology, volunteering
-dislikes/fears: stairs, getting close to people, behaving in a way that would upset her family, heights
-hobbies: learning to code, video games, volunteering around town, learning to be independent
Background: Nymme had a happy, privileged childhood. She wanted for nothing, but learned only about business, technology, and how to run a household. Her older sister spent most of her time being groomed to take over the family business, so Nymme took it upon herself to learn about the types of products they were producing. She instantly became fascinated by the various household products and computer software that the company was able to create. She learned what she could through conversations with her parents' work associates and when she turned fifteen, she would work in the factories her mother owned after school when she had the time. She never had set her sights on anyone romantically because she knew she would be set up in an arranged marriage by her parents and, eventually she was. She became engaged at eighteen and began befriending her intended, Lawrence Hemley. He seemed like a very nice man and they got along swimmingly until the night he told her that he wanted to break off the engagement because he'd fallen in love with someone else. Nymme had been confused and angry and the two got into a big argument about expectations and commitment and family. She'd stormed away from him, furious, when he grabbed her arm to stop her. The stairway was unfortunately close and when she finally had thrown off his grasp, he was tumbling to his death. Her family fought with the courts, but she was ultimately exiled.
Relationships: Nymme was exiled recently and doesn't have many connections or friends in town. She has two parents (Gianna and Howard), an older sister (Liora), and a younger brother (Caden). She had a fiance, but he died.
Additional Information: Nymme has no street smarts and next to no self-sustaining skills. Do not ask her to cook for you unless you want your kitchen to burn to the ground.
Mod
(Last name is traditionally first. Mainly he just goes by Ryo.)
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Anterrum
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Alignment: Overlooked - Not Exiled
Appearance:
(view spoiler)
Additional description:
- 6'1"
- 180 lbs.
- dark brown, rigid
- coal
- tanned medium olive
- muscular, athletic
- has symmetrical diagonal scars on both of his palms.
Personality: Ryo has two different sides to him. On one hand, he can be a professional, respectable businessman and then on the other he rarely smiles and is more serious. He is a master of appearances, but prefers his solitude and personal time. He is not a family man and doesn't spend much time with his wife if he doesn't have to. He gets along pretty well with his family otherwise, though he can occasionally find his younger siblings's overbearing personalities to be a bit intimidating.
-likes: books, exercising, walking around town,
-dislikes/fears: large, excessive parties, rich people lacking perspective, people discovering his family's secret.
-hobbies: assistant coaching youth sports, reading, exercising
Background: Ryo grew up in a privileged household with three younger siblings and two parents that love their children, though often struggled with one another. If his parents weren't busy fighting, they were peacefully coexisting with minimal contact. He learned quickly that staying out of the middle was the best way to survive, so he did his best to keep out of everyone's way and take care of himself. He enjoyed getting out into the towns when he could and getting involved in games being played on the streets, whether it be tag or Anterrum's version of street soccer.
He came into the Overlooked organization after happening by his father meeting with a known Overlooked refugee in the streets of town. He had a private talk with his father at home later and he was given the opportunity to join. After a long discussion, he agreed under the condition that he had to keep related information confidential and away from the family.
His mother surprised him one morning when she arrived at his home and announced that he was engaged to be married to some woman he met once or twice at some party. He was completely taken by surprise and resistant, so when arguing with his mother failed, he turned to his father. Instead of finding an ally, his father supported the match and insisted that the position would be valuable not only to the family for social purpose, but also to the Organization for funding and information. Thus, whether he wants to or not, he is marrying Miss Carolien Rivers.
Relationships: Ryo is close with his family. He has a father and three younger siblings. Recently, he was engaged to Carolien Rivers and they will be married, though he isn't expecting a deeply profound companionship to bloom from the arrangement. His priority is Overlooked business.
Ryo's sisters (Hani, Reina, and Clara) are all individuals with vibrant personalities. Hani is the commander of the trio, constantly eager to make friends and usually organizing family get-togethers and usually directing the twins' antics. Reina is just as energetic, but less focused than Hani and excels in artistic endeavors and creative thinking. Clara is the brains of the trio and uses her reasoning to make Reina's ideas a reality and she is quieter than the other two but by no means considered quiet in general. She has a scary way of arguing and convincing people to comply. (view spoiler)
Hani (24)
The Twins (21) Ryo's parents are both strong personalities as well. His mother looks to be of more asian descent whereas his father looks like he is of brazilian descent (relatively for different planets). Ryo's mom is stereotypical doting, upfront, tells you her opinion even if you didn't ask for it sort of overbearing, whereas his father is more of the silently judging you and psychological warfare sort of intense.
Additional Information: He eats a lot. Like A LOT a lot. He almost always has snacks on him and is not picky in regards to food. So long as it's edible, he will eat it. Food does not need to be as decadent or fancy for him to enjoy it. He spends a lot of time in the library and will sometimes lose his books because he'll forget where he was reading and gets distracted easily.
