3. Dan Heng: Dan Heng is the quiet, analytical archivist and train guard of the Astral Express. He appears as a tall young man in his 20s with black hair, teal eyes, and a reserved demeanor. Typically dressed in minimalist clothing, he spends much of his time studying in the data archives. Despite his calm personality, Dan Heng wields a spear and is a powerful combatant who uses wind-based abilities and fights with exceptional precision. He rarely discusses his past, but it's eventually revealed that he is a reincarnated Vidyadhara, once known as Imbibitor Lunae, a high-status being from the Xianzhou Luofu. In this awakened form, Dan Heng gains enhanced draconic features - including glowing teal coloured horns and a long translucent tail that appears and disappears at will.

March is outgoing, talkative, and often the first to break the ice in tense situations. While she can be impulsive and occasionally naive, she’s brave, loyal, and cares deeply about her friends. In battle, she wields an ice-element bow and plays a defensive role, using her shield-based abilities to protect allies and buy time. March brings emotional warmth and levity to the team, often helping others open up.
5. Stelle & Caelus: In this world, Stelle and Caelus are twin siblings, taking the appearance of adults in their 20s. • Stelle is one of the Trailblazers aboard the Astral Express, known for her bold, outspoken personality and direct approach to challenges. She has silver hair, amber eyes, and typically wears practical, combat-ready gear suited for space travel. Energetic and headstrong, she tends to act on instinct, preferring action over hesitation. She’s fiercely loyal to her crew and especially protective of her brother, Caelus, with whom she shares a close but occasionally competitive sibling bond. • Caelus is one of the Trailblazers and Stelle’s twin brother, offering a calm, analytical counterpart to her impulsiveness. Like his sister, he has silver hair and amber eyes, and dresses in a similarly functional outfit adapted to interstellar travel. He’s reserved, thoughtful, and tends to observe before acting, often stepping in to balance his sister’s brashness with support. Despite being twins, Stelle and Caelus are two different people, and will function as their own NPC.
6. Sunday: Sunday is the poised and diplomatic manager of The Family’s affairs on Penacony. He appears as a tall man with sleek silver-white hair, violet-blue eyes, and a refined, almost ethereal presence. A distinctive feature of his appearance is the pair of delicate, wing-like structures that extend behind his ears, giving him an angelic, otherworldly aura. He is typically dressed in a pristine white and gold suit that reflects his high status and polished demeanor. Calm, articulate, and unfailingly courteous, Sunday often speaks with a warm tone that veils his sharp intellect and strategic mind. Though he presents himself as a gracious host and mediator, there’s an underlying sense of control in everything he does. Subtle, calculated, and precise. While he does not openly display combative abilities, his authority and influence within The Family suggest that he is not a figure to be underestimated.
