Meet the Characters
Sol is a Siamese cat with the rare ability to wield fire—a gift she’s long seen as a curse after years of bullying and self-doubt. When her sister Zip, the only one who ever truly accepted her, mysteriously disappears, Sol leaves her sheltered home in search of answers. But the journey reveals dark secrets about Zip’s transformation, forcing Sol to face her fears, master her powers, and decide whether she’s meant to bring destruction—or become a force for good.
Choc is a moose—gruff, sarcastic, and fiercely independent, haunted by a past he believes marks him as unworthy of love. He keeps others at arm’s length, especially Sol, unaware that the guilt he carries over Zip’s transformation runs deeper than she knows. As their journey unfolds, shared struggles forge a fragile bond: Sol’s compassion chips away at Choc’s walls, while his reluctant mentorship helps her see the true strength in her powers. But the truth he hides could destroy the trust they’ve built.
Zipporah “Zip” is Sol’s estranged sister, a black cat who blames Sol for their father’s death. Grieving and desperate for purpose, she joins a military experiment seeking power and redemption—but when it goes wrong, she’s transformed into a monstrous force.
Now consumed by control, Zip becomes what she once feared, setting her on a collision course with Sol.
Talos is a hawk and a brilliant geneticist, driven by an insatiable curiosity to unlock human potential through science. Calm and methodical on the surface, he hides deep turmoil over the unintended consequences of his work—especially Zip’s horrific transformation. Torn between shame and ambition, Talos walks a fine line between atonement and progress, making him a pivotal yet unpredictable force in the story.
It’s a big universe out there…who else will cross our character’s paths?
