The gang’s all here!

You’ll never guess how I spent my weekend (cough cough painstakingly drawing their references one by one) <3 I know I haven’t fully introduced all the species yet, but I wanna draw comics with these guys so bad. So I figured I’d go ahead and shine the spotlight on the main cast of Vivere before I go any further.

Vreaz, Max, Peri, Esznat, and Ozeic are a bunch of first-cycle ESSE students in the same spaceflight class. One day they were split off into teams and these five just happened to be lumped together. On the same day, they were attacked by a Genizix squadron trying to test a new wormhole-creating weapon. As a result, they were sent lightyears away from the Zhagaviit system and now must do their best to survive in deep space. Vreaz is the captain of the crew.

First up we have Max! He is a part of the third generation of post-humans. He’s very sweet and a bit of a people-pleaser. On the day of the attack they were assigned the role of Spacecraft Intelligence aboard the training ship, but also acts as First Officer, Navigator, and Security. A lot of jobs, but as a computer multitasking is second-nature for them. Max and Vreaz have been friends for a while, and they keep him from getting into fights.

Next up, Periwinkle (Peri for short)! Xe is an angelum of the sacrazoa variety. Peri was assigned engineer, due to xir passion for machines and systems. However, it is rare to see xem actually do work, as xe is usually goofing off or getting distracted. Peri also enjoys earth pop culture, memes, and gaming. Xe occasionally streams (and has quite a substantial following).

Esznat is the excitable scientist of Vreaz’s crew. She is a splitfang, a tree-dwelling sophont. She’s the most sociable of the group and also the most adventure-seeking, unafraid of going into dangerous situations to gather samples or to poke something she shouldn’t. Esznat is well-known by the teachers in Elvoirs for ditching guidelines and putting her own ‘spin’ on assignments.

Last but not least, Ozeic. He’s a Northern Sicklehorn (more colloquially known as ‘space unicorns’) and is notorious for being the biggest and baddest in the entire grade. Over the years he’s acquired a hefty amount of detentions for bullying and missed homework. Ozeic also has a reputation for being the type of student you don’t want in your group project, but Vreaz is determined to bring out his full potential. He was assigned the defence role (although whether he would actually defend anyone is another story).
