Characters
Athena
Born and raised in Aeaea with an Ogygian ‘mother’ and Aeaean father. She is passionate and hot-tempered, but she also has a strong sense of justice and a natural compulsion to help and protect others.
Athena was a doctor volunteering to aid Ogygian refugees on the Far Rings for the past two years of the war. However, a recent incident has forced her to leave quite abruptly...
Captain Odysseus
The young Aeaean military captain of the small warship Ithaca.
He is a well-respected, model soldier, following orders and protocol to the letter. In his professional capacity, he is polite but cool-mannered.
But beneath the surface, Captain Odysseus hides a few secrets.
Chiron
An Ogygian war prisoner, though they don’t look terribly warrior-like. Chiron confessed to causing the incident that caused Athena to leave Ogygia. However, Athena can't help but suspect that there is more to their story.
Chiron appears cool, smug, and tight-lipped, and is above all disdainful of Aeaeans.
