Most of the following characters are from my own science-fiction based multiverse that takes place in a series of role playing games and short stories, under the working title 'Realm'.
When writing a fictional universe that a user interacts with, my goal is to allow the user to feel
that it is, or could be, reality.
Writing effective characters requires exploration in culture, ecology, and the physics of the world they reside in.
