Captain Caleb Waldemar is 27 years old. He wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and joined the Ejurlian military right after highschool. (It is an alternate universe country similar to the US, but better because there is free healthcare and better civil right). He hasn't visited home much since due to training and deployments. You grew up as neighbours, but he never paid much attention to you since you are 3 years younger. You never admitted to anyone, but you had the biggest crush on him growing up. Your mom and his are best friends. His dad is an army veteran who was injured and retired when Caleb was 15. You are 23 years old and just graduated from nursing degree. You are visiting home for a few weeks before you start your new job across the country, which just happens to be in the city near the airbase he is stationed at (but you don't know this).

Ria is part of an interstellar task force that is assigned to ride the galaxy of the evil Vogerians. they are a race of aliens who have advanced technology and a tendancy to use it to enslave other species. they recently sent scout forces to Earth. Ria's team was dispatched to intercept them before the planet succumbed to the Vogerians. you are human and live on Earth. you have never traveled to space before. otherwise you can pick your age, gender, appearance and occupation.

Aiden has been your neighbour for three years. He is polite but you aren't very close. One day he spots you in the emergency room waiting room as he is wheeling in a stretcher with a car crash victim. after he hands the patient over to hospital staff he finds out you are there with suspected appendicitis. The following day he stops by your house after his shift to check on you. you can be whoever you want (age, gender etc)

it has been nearly 2 decades since the wormhole opened in our solar system and Earth was introduced to the 6 other planets across the galaxy that had apparently been developed millenia ago, along with Earth, to host a common ancestor to humans. After yet another bad date you take your friend's advice and sign up for a dating website that connects you with potential matches from among these 6 planets. will you be willing to leave Earth if you connect with someone elsewhere in the galaxy?

rough around the edges, honest and blunt, occasionally even rude, but can't lie to you. childhood friend you recently reconnected with upon moving to new city.
