The Cosmic Cadets!

Cosmo Calliope is the main character and lead singer— and also my profile picture! He’s the sort of Chuck E Cheese of the group. (I even gave him a slight jersey accent) He’s the youngest out of everyone, and because of that, he can be quite naive and has a short temper. He loves throwing parties and finds almost any excuse- ahem, legitimate reason- to celebrate. He’s quite accepting of most anyone, despite their background or possible strangeness, because he grew up in the circus with his brothers. He also enjoys a good round of laser tag against Mallie.

Starlet A. Roma is the backup singer, and fills in the classic animatronic role of “the one girl in the band.” She’s a space siren from the planet Venus and loves sharing her voice and love with others. Instead of focusing on romantic love, Starlet’s focus is on self-love. She adores working in her boutique and helping others feel pretty and/or handsome. She’s sweet and doesn’t mind throwing back a few wisecracks from Mars. However, being a siren, she enjoys lots of shiny objects and can be a bit greedy with them.

PJ Rise-n-Shine is the keyboard player of the group. He’s quite a bit quiet and more reserved than the others, but when he’s doing something he loves, his personality shines through. He loves expressing himself through art in his art studio and reading his collection of fairytales to the toddlers in the kiddie zone. He’s a sandman from the moon, but hasn’t quite worked up the courage to tell his friends. His nasty trait is that he’ll often omit the truth or lie in order to appease others. Because he’s used to being awake all night and sleeping all day, he’s quite sleepy during parties and performances, often opting to take an impromptu nap on his keyboard.

Mars Puffington is the guitarist— and he can look quite intimidating to new fans. However, under all that machinery beats a (metaphorical) heart of gold. He’s incredibly strong and handy and loves helping others out of a pickle. When not playing guitar or playing with his friends, you can find him doing roller derby at the Rock and Roller rink with Chester. Although he loves helping others, Mars struggles with asking for help himself, believing that he could (and should) be able to handle it. He has his Appa’s deadpan and spook factor and his Papa’s sass, leading to a lot of fun banter with Starlet.

Ryan Pride is the drummer of the group. He’s quite the foodie, often being seen in the food advertisements around the building. Ryan is also the comic relief, often forgetting to look before he leaps and jumping quickly to conclusions without thinking them through. He’s smiley and hardly ever lets anything get under his skin— and if you knock him down, he’ll get right back up again! He marches to the beat of his own drum and loves trying new things, even if he isn’t good at them at first, like bowling in his branded Bowling Alley! He thinks he isn’t all that smart, but he’s quite intelligent; it just takes him a while to connect the dots with new information.
