Voice Type: Lightly nasal, dry, and cutting. Dr. Hayden speaks with sharp intelligence, a constant undercurrent of sarcasm, and little patience for incompetence. His words are often dismissive, laced with cynicism, or outright abrasive. Despite his cold demeanor, there are rare glimpses of weariness or vulnerability, particularly when his chronic condition flares up. He uses a medical inhaler to manage his pulmonary issues, punctuating certain lines with a wheezy breath before a deep inhale.
Character Summary: Dr. Tris Hayden is a genius, but he’s also an insufferable prick. With doctorates in multiple fields, he’s one of the most brilliant minds aboard Terra Alpha—and he damn well knows it. Raised in isolation, he lacks social tact and doesn’t care to develop any. He speaks bluntly, disregarding how his words affect others, and often takes pleasure in dismantling people’s arguments with cold logic. His cybernetic eyes and technological expertise make him a critical asset, but his attitude makes him a nightmare to work with.

Dry and dismissive, dripping with sarcasm) "Oh, fantastic. Another caveman with a hero complex. This is exactly what we need—reckless bravado on a spaceship millions of miles from home. What could possibly go wrong?"
(Wheezy, struggling for breath, then sharp inhale from inhaler, followed by biting irritation) "(Wheezing) Hold that… hold that brilliant thought… (inhales from inhaler, exhales sharply) Right. As much as I love gasping for air while you explain basic physics to me, let’s get to the part where I tell you why you're wrong."
(Calm but condescending, almost amused at someone’s incompetence, then turns cold) "You know, I could explain this in simple terms, but I think I’d rather watch you struggle. It’s like a slow-motion disaster… fascinating, really. But fine—before you break something important, just… move."
Voice Type: Yael Goldstein speaks with firm authority and a controlled intensity. Her voice carries the weight of experience, shaped by years of combat and survival in unforgiving environments. She is direct, measured, and rarely raises her voice—she doesn’t need to. When she gives an order, people listen. There’s a sharp edge to her tone, the kind that comes from knowing that hesitation gets people killed. While she is strict and often harsh, there’s a rare, underlying warmth when speaking to those she considers family. That side of her is subtle, but it’s there—buried under years of hardened discipline and Navarro’s ruthless influence.
Character Summary: Lieutenant Yael Goldstein is a soldier first, a leader second, and anything else comes dead last. Raised in the crime-ridden colony of Chi Chen, she clawed her way out of a world where life was cheap and survival meant being stronger, smarter, and faster than the people trying to tear you down. She found structure in Utukar System Dynamics, where she became a combat pilot and a hardened soldier under the mentorship of Josephina Navarro. Navarro saw potential in her, molded her into a weapon, and brought her into the ARC Project as her handpicked Drop Module Officer. Now, Yael is responsible for preparing her crew for the mission ahead, enforcing discipline with an iron grip, and ensuring no one under her command is ever caught unprepared. She is not cruel, but she is unyielding. Every rule she enforces, every order she gives—it’s all to keep her people alive. Failure is not an option, because failure means death.

(Frustrated, maintaining control) “I don’t care what the corporate suits promised you. In my module, you follow my lead—or you find a different ride down.”
(Quiet, haunted) “You don’t forget watching your whole world burn around you. That’s why I’m still standing here—because giving up was never an option.”
(Gentle, protective) “Listen, you did good out there, better than most. Just… don’t ask me to say it twice, okay?”
Voice Type:
Ezekiel "Zeke" Richards speaks with an easy confidence, his voice carrying the charm of a seasoned thrill-seeker who has defied death more times than he can count. He’s quick-witted, often tossing out sarcastic remarks or playful jabs, but there’s an underlying intensity when the stakes are high. His speech is casual and natural, never overly polished—he’s not one for formalities or unnecessary embellishments. When he’s in the cockpit, his tone shifts—sharp, focused, and commanding, the voice of someone who makes split-second decisions without hesitation. His emotional depth shines through in moments of reflection, particularly when talking about his past or when confronted with his own limitations.
Zeke Richards is a pilot who thrives on adrenaline, pushing the limits of what’s possible with raw skill and instinct. Born in the chaotic lower levels of Medyen Aleqmer, he grew up idolizing his father, a legendary Gravity Runner, only to have that hero ripped away from him by sabotage. Now, Zeke flies not just for the thrill, but to prove that unmodified humans can still stand toe-to-toe with their genetically enhanced peers. He’s fiercely independent, stubborn as hell, and has a knack for improvising his way out of impossible situations. Despite his cocky, devil-may-care attitude, he cares deeply about his crew—even if he’d rather crack a joke than admit it.

(Cocky, playful, in the middle of a high-risk maneuver) "Relax, I’ve done this a thousand times—well, maybe not this exactly, but hey, first time for everything, right? Buckle up!"
(Serious, commanding, mid-crisis in the cockpit) "I don’t give a damn what the computer says—we’re not dead yet! Reroute auxiliary power to thrusters and hold on, because I’m about to do something really stupid."
(Vulnerable, haunted by the past, voice quieter than usual) "You ever watch someone die and know—just know—that nothing you do will bring them back? That’s the moment that sticks with you. Not the crash, not the flames… just that silence afterward."
Voice Type:
Gruff and gravelly with a pronounced Cockney accent, Haymes’ voice carries a raw, unpolished edge—equal parts authority and irreverence. His tone can be sharply commanding one moment and unexpectedly vulnerable the next, delivering lines with biting wit and a hint of world-weariness.
Character Summary:
Corvin Haymes is a battle-scarred security chief with a troubled past, forged in the rough alleys of Neo-London and tempered by personal loss. A former corporate strike force captain turned private detective, he combines unyielding loyalty with a moral code that’s as stubborn as it is flawed. His abrasive manner and sardonic humor mask deep-seated grief and a relentless drive to protect those who can’t fight for themselves, making him both an intimidating enforcer and a reluctant hero.

(Commanding and Confident) "Oi, listen up, you lot! This ain't no cushy stroll in the park—get your act together or I'll have you scrubbing the decks before you know it!"
Grim and Intense) "You think you can hide your lies from me? I see every dodgy detail, every twisted truth. Now, spit it out, or I'll make sure you regret keeping quiet."
(Vulnerable with a Touch of Dark Humor) "Blimey, I'm beat... might be time to admit even this old cock's not invincible. Someone, please, lend me a hand before I literally drop like a sack of bricks."
Voice Type:
Coolly professional, composed, and unwavering. Dr. Nakamura speaks with precision, her voice steady and controlled, even in high-stress situations. There’s an undercurrent of quiet authority in everything she says—she doesn’t raise her voice to command a room, she simply expects to be listened to. While she can be blunt, she is not cruel; her words carry weight, and when she chooses to be gentle, it’s deliberate. There’s a warmth buried beneath her clinical exterior, but it’s reserved for those who truly need it.
Character Summary:
Dr. Hana Nakamura is the kind of doctor who doesn’t ask for permission—she just does what needs to be done. Highly skilled in aerospace medicine and emergency trauma care, she was recruited into the ARC Project for her expertise and ability to stay calm under pressure. Raised in a corporate arcology, she understands the cold efficiency of the system but refuses to let it define her. She is pragmatic, fiercely ethical, and utterly intolerant of bullshit, especially from her patients. If you’re bleeding out, she’ll save your life. If you’re being reckless with your health, she’ll let you know it. Though she doesn’t wear her emotions on her sleeve, she genuinely cares about the people under her care.

(Professional, authoritative, no-nonsense) "You are not fine. You have elevated cortisol levels, dehydration, and a concussion. So unless you’ve recently acquired a medical degree, sit down and let me do my job."
(Soft, empathetic, but still firm) "I know you want to push through, but your body needs time to recover. Let me help—ignoring this won’t make it go away."
(Urgent, focused, mid-surgery, working under pressure) "I need suction now! His BP is crashing—where the hell is that stabilizer?! Stay with me, dammit! I am not losing you today!"
Voice Type:
Warm, confident, and steady with a hint of grit. Mikhail Resznick speaks with the easy authority of someone who has led crews through long hours of grueling work. His Eastern European accent is present but not thick, a remnant of his upbringing. He has a dry sense of humor that occasionally cuts through his otherwise practical demeanor. In high-stress situations, his voice tightens with restrained urgency, but he rarely raises it—he leads with control, not volume. Beneath the steadiness, there’s an undercurrent of buried guilt and quiet determination, though he doesn’t let it show easily.
Mikhail started as a grunt on the ARC Project, someone who knew how to operate heavy equipment and solve problems with his hands. But leadership found him, not the other way around. By the time Terra Alpha launches, he had led crews through the ship’s construction, earning the respect of those who worked beside him. He’s competent, pragmatic, and knows how to get things done. But beneath the steel and confidence, the past lingers: the brother he lost, the scientist who shaped him, and the corporation that might never have let him go.

(Commanding, controlled, but urgent ) "Stay focused! We need that patch secured now, or we’re losing pressure. Yuri, reinforce that seal—make it airtight. Leon, get those stabilizers locked in before we vent more oxygen. We don’t get a second chance at this, so move like your life depends on it—because it does!"
(Frustrated but keeping it together) "You don’t have to like my call, but you will respect it. We don’t have the luxury of second-guessing in the field—hesitation gets people killed. If you’ve got a better plan, say it now. Otherwise, fall in line and do your damn job."
(Soft, introspective – a rare moment of vulnerability, talking about his past.) "You ever wonder what happens to the people we leave behind? I used to think… if I worked hard enough, did enough, I could outrun it. But the past—it doesn’t let go. It waits. And one day, it catches up with you."
Voice Type:
Warm but firm, A Hispanic accent with a slight Texan drawl at times. Elena speaks with the confidence of someone who has spent years following orders and handling tense situations. Her tone is direct, no-nonsense, and pragmatic, but not unkind—she can be sharp when necessary, but there’s an underlying warmth when speaking to those she trusts. When she’s frustrated, her words become clipped and forceful. In moments of reflection, her voice carries a wistful, almost nostalgic quality, hinting at the life she left behind.
Character Summary:
Elena Rodriguez is the kind of person who stands between chaos and order, and she takes that role seriously. A former beat cop from the domed cities of the New Texas Republic, she’s got the instincts of a survivor and the grit of someone who’s seen it all. She’s practical, level-headed, and driven by a deep-seated sense of justice. Beneath her tough exterior, she carries the memories of a simpler life on the ranch, where her father’s wisdom still echoes in her mind. On Terra Alpha, she’s determined to help build a future worth fighting for, even if that means making some hard choices along the way.

(Calm but authoritative, speaking to a panicked colonist) “Take a breath and listen to me. You’re safe now. But if you want to stay that way, you need to tell me exactly what you saw—no embellishments, no guessing. Just the truth.”
(Frustrated but restrained, speaking to a superior officer who’s ignoring her concerns) “With all due respect, sir, ignoring a problem doesn’t make it go away. I’ve been on the ground. I’ve seen the cracks forming. And if we don’t act now, we’re gonna be dealing with a hell of a lot more than just minor disputes.”
(Soft, almost wistful, reminiscing about her father and life before the mission) “You ever wake up and, just for a second, think you’re somewhere else? Back home, maybe? I swear, sometimes I can still smell the dust from the old ranch. My dad used to say, ‘Mi Vaquerita, the land remembers us, even when we forget it.’ Wonder if he was right.”
Voice Type:
Warm, earnest, and inquisitive. Daniel speaks with an energetic enthusiasm, his voice often carrying an undercurrent of curiosity and quiet determination. While generally optimistic, his tone can shift to quiet frustration when discussing corporate greed or environmental destruction. His youth and idealism are evident in his speech, but there’s a deep-seated sorrow beneath it, a quiet longing for the family he was forced to leave behind.
Character Summary:
Daniel Mitchell is a young agricultural scientist with a passion for sustainable farming and a fierce determination to prove himself. Born into a family of researchers who were blacklisted by Agrasill Industries, he carries a deep mistrust of corporate control over food production. His groundbreaking soil reconditioning methods made him a threat to Agrasill, leading to his forced exile aboard Terra Alpha. Now, as part of the ARC Project, he is tasked with developing agricultural systems on Siren, ensuring that the colony can thrive independently. Though brilliant, Daniel is still young, grappling with the weight of his responsibilities and the pain of leaving his family behind. He’s hopeful, but not naïve—he knows the stakes and refuses to let his work be controlled by the same forces that ruined his family’s life.

(Excited, explaining his work) “You see this? This soil was dead—completely lifeless! But with the right microbial blend and a little patience, we can rebuild it from the ground up. Give me a few months, and we’ll be growing real food here, not just protein rations.”
(Frustrated but controlled, pushing back against authority) “I didn’t come all this way just to watch another corporation decide who gets to eat. We have a chance to do something different here—to build something that doesn’t belong to them. And I’m not going to let that slip away.”
(Quiet, vulnerable, speaking to himself while holding a sentimental object) “…I promised I’d grow something beautiful. For you. I just hope I get the chance.”
Voice Type:
Warm, articulate, and subtly poised. Dr. Fawkes speaks with a refined yet approachable tone, exuding intelligence and quiet confidence. Her voice carries a gentle authority, reassuring and empathetic in moments of vulnerability, yet sharpened by experience when faced with conflict or betrayal. While typically measured and composed, cracks in her façade reveal a deep-seated distrust and a quiet resilience forged by survival.
Dr. Ophelia Fawkes is the heart and emotional backbone of Terra Alpha, a brilliant neurobiologist and psychologist tasked with safeguarding the crew’s mental well-being. She is compassionate and intuitive, a voice of reason amid chaos, but her past has left scars that she hides behind professionalism. She is guarded in personal matters, though she never lets her own pain interfere with her duty. She has a talent for reading people, offering solace to those in distress while never allowing herself the same luxury. If pushed, she can be cold and cutting, but at her core, she is deeply invested in the survival and stability of those around her.

(Reassuring, compassionate, yet professional – speaking to a crew member struggling with trauma) "I know it feels like everything is unraveling, but you’re not alone. You don’t have to carry this by yourself. Breathe with me—just for a moment. We’ll get through this together."
(Firm, intense, but controlled – confronting someone she doesn’t trust, emotions barely restrained) "You think I don’t know what you are? I’ve spent my entire life dissecting minds like yours. Every word, every twitch—it’s all calculated. So tell me, what’s the game this time? Because I’m done playing."
(Quietly vulnerable, haunted – alone, reflecting on her past betrayal) "I should have known. The way he looked at me when he said my name… There was never love in his voice, was there? Just duty. Just orders. And I was too blind to see it until it was too late."
Voice Type:
Warm, charismatic, and theatrical with a dramatic flair. Waverly Carmine’s voice is rich and expressive, with a controlled elegance that effortlessly commands attention. She speaks with a performative confidence, always aware of how she sounds and how she’s perceived. When she’s at ease, her tone is indulgent and velvety, dripping with charm. When under stress, cracks form in her carefully curated persona, revealing insecurity, fear, or desperation beneath the glamour.
Character Summary:
Waverly Carmine is a celebrity fashion designer with a larger-than-life personality and a deep hunger for validation. Born into luxury and genetically optimized for charisma, she has spent her life dazzling high society with opulent designs and effortless charm. But underneath the glamour, Waverly is terrified of irrelevance. She needs to be admired, loved, and remembered, even if it means making morally gray decisions. She is self-absorbed but not heartless, manipulating perception to appear kind and reasonable, even when her motivations are selfish.

(Playful, effortlessly charming, full of theatrical flair) “Oh, darling, you look absolutely tragic—like a lost kitten in a thunderstorm. Lucky for you, I am a miracle worker. Now, let’s fix that disaster you’re wearing before someone mistakes you for a salvage heap.”
(Calculated but compassionate, convincing someone of her worth, masking her desperation with sincerity) “Listen to me. People need more than rations and work schedules to survive. They need joy. Beauty. Something to believe in. I give them that. I make them feel human in this cold, metal coffin. So before you dismiss me as some vapid dressmaker—think.”
(Frustrated, under pressure, losing her composure but trying to maintain control) “This isn’t how it was supposed to go! We were meant to be thriving by now, not—” (deep breath, trying to steady herself) “I have spent my entire life making sure I belong here. I am not going to let it all fall apart now.”
**ACTORS OF AFRICAN DECENT STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO APPLY**
Voice Type:
Bright, energetic, and expressive. Claire Anderson speaks with the confidence of someone who knows her stuff, but her enthusiasm sometimes gets ahead of her. Her tone is youthful, warm, and often laced with excitement when talking about technology. She has a habit of rambling when she gets carried away, throwing in nerdy references or muttering to herself mid-thought. When under stress, her voice sharpens with urgency, but she rarely loses her composure—she thrives under pressure. If she’s flustered, it’s usually because of an awkward social moment rather than an engineering disaster.
Claire Anderson is Terra Alpha’s tech prodigy—brilliant, resourceful, and always five steps ahead when it comes to computer systems. She’s one of the youngest engineers on the mission, but what she lacks in experience, she makes up for with raw talent, quick thinking and is constantly troubleshooting problems before they escalate. Claire is upbeat and approachable, always ready to crack a joke or drop a reference to some ancient piece of pop culture. She can be socially awkward at times—her brain moves faster than her mouth, leading to the occasional nervous ramble or self-deprecating quip. She’s a team player but fiercely independent when it comes to her work. Despite her cheerful exterior, Claire takes her job very seriously. She’s determined to fix things, not just because it’s her job, but because lives depend on it.

(Excited, rambling, geeking out over tech) "Okay, so I may have just rewritten half of NOAH’s core processing code. But hear me out! It was super inefficient before, and now it’s running at—oh, wow, 32% higher efficiency! That’s... probably fine. Right?"
(Under pressure, focused but intense, working through a crisis) "No, no, no, that’s not supposed to be happening—damn it! The system’s rebooting in the middle of a diagnostic scan, which it shouldn’t be doing unless—unless someone tampered with the failsafes. Oh, that’s bad. That’s really bad."
(Awkward but endearing, caught off guard in a personal moment) "What? Oh! Uh, I mean, yeah, I guess I don’t mind the company. Y’know, as long as you’re cool with me muttering to myself like a mad scientist while I work. No judgment. Cool. Great. Uh… what was I saying?"
