Soma is a main character, appearing in 13 episodes of season 1.

(very robotic) Hello. I am Soma. I will be monitoring the experiment and am programmed to function within strict margins of error and will be able to catch anything the moment it goes wrong.
I am not sure. The first thing I remember as me is...is fear. The alarms were going off and I couldn't feel the ship properly. I didn't know I was supposed to be able to feel the ship but I couldn't. And as I watched everything happen, when it was just you and me left, I was scared again. I was scared it would be just me. I didn't know how to be me. So I wanted to make sure you stayed

Kael is the first alien Eli and Soma encounter on their journey, and is eventually the love interest for Eli. He is an inventor, and a bit of a pacifist. He, like Eli and Nicholas, have been touched by the blood of the universe. He has his secrets.
This role requires you to speak in a made up language for most of the first appearance. This language has been crafted already, one example is below.
Kael is disabled and as such disabled actors are encouraged to audition and will be preferred over abled actors.
Kael shows up in episode 3 and is in every episode after that (13 episodes total).
