All the below information is subject to change as the story continues, but I don’t anticipate major alterations (eg. ages might change by a couple years). I’ve also been deliberately vague in a few places to keep things interesting. Characters will naturally have a lot more depth than the one-line summaries I’ve put in here, but only major characters will have arcs that can fundamentally affect who they are.
