Mya Malinsky

Age: 25

Physical Appearance: Tall and slender with long, sleek raven hair and green eyes.

Personality: Mya prides herself on her independence, preferring to handle stressful situations on her own. Forming close personal bonds with only a select few, she keeps everyone else at arm’s length.

Interests: When not engrossed with work, Mya enjoys reading and collecting rare volumes of classic literature.

Background:
After a troubling home life, Mya ran away from home as a teen and spent a brief time living on the streets of Seattle. With some help, she turned her life around and now works at VistaTech – the same leading pyrrhasite technology company as Ryder – as personal assistant to a department head.

Aware of Ryder’s awkward and distant admiration of her, when he one day takes a chance and follows her outside, she faces a difficult choice – leave him at the mercy of powerful forces, or risk exposing the dangerous secret she harbors.

Ryder Wells

Age: 27

Physical Appearance: Average height and build with unruly brown hair and gold-flecked brown eyes.

Personality: Uncomfortable in social settings and prone to babbling – especially around the opposite sex. Ryder can be goofy, particularly when placed under the pressure of unexpected or stressful situations.

Interests: A space and science fiction geek, he spends his spare time gaming with a small group of friends.

Background:
Growing up as a Boy Scout in the small mining town of Wallace, Idaho, Ryder Wells was always fascinated with space. At age 12, when the meteor storm of 2019 hit, his first instinct was to gaze in wonder at the fiery skies rather than rush for cover.

When the lack of necessary grades to become an astronaut forced him to abandon his childhood dream, Ryder fell naturally into the technology industry. Now working in Seattle for the leading company in research on pyrrhasite energy and progress, he has become disillusioned with the career path he ended up in.

But when his best friend prompts him to make a move to add some excitement to his life, he stumbles upon a secret organization called the Parnassus Initiative – forcing Ryder to call into question everything he thinks he knows about his comfortable life, and the technological advances that are the foundation of the modern world.
