Characters

Seven souls aboard the Grey Gull — and one cat. Each boarded for their own reasons. Each carries corners they'd rather keep unseen.

Kael

Captain · Grey Gull

Driven by pure curiosity. Doesn't waste words but communicates fine. His judgment is his greatest weapon — when everyone panics, he's the one who makes the right call.

Sol

The Ship's Cat

The ship's second sensor. Kael watches with his eyes; Sol perceives with its entire body. It chose to stay by Kael's side — that was its own decision.

Castor

First Mate

The one who keeps the captain's wild ideas from getting everyone killed. Complains the whole time while quietly preparing everything that needs preparing. Pragmatic to the bone.

Naia

Navigator

The one who carves a living path through reefs. Being alive means moving. Smiles in the face of danger — not bravado, but "I choose to be here."

Edmund

Observer · Academy Inspector

Precise on the surface, panicking inside. The composure is an act. The least adapted to life at sea on the whole ship. Knowledge is his armor.

Ronn

Shipwright's Apprentice

The youngest aboard. Wants to touch everything, ask everything, try everything. Has a natural intuition for the physical world.

Corven

Hired Guard

Paid to do a job. At least, that's what he says. Looks like he doesn't care about anything, but his eyes never truly close.

Bryn

Ship's Doctor

The body doesn't lie. Won't heal you with kindness — she'll use data to shut you up and make you lie down.
