The Cast of the Crystal Collider
- Dr. Elira Voss – Arcane Energetics Specialist
An elf from the Interdimensional Arcana Institute, Elira blends magic with particle theory and claims the collider could unlock spellcasting on an industrial scale. She has a calm, scholarly demeanor—unless someone questions her formulas. - Grak Throttleboom – Goblin Engineer First-Class
Grak is responsible for building half the collider’s hardware and swears by duct tape, dragon oil, and “experimental math.” He’s brilliant, twitchy, and constantly muttering about how the collider “wasn’t ready.” - Juno Slate – Temporal Ethics Auditor
Juno travels between timelines to enforce causality laws and has been assigned to monitor the collider’s activation. She’s aloof, mysterious, and never confirms whether she’s already lived this day. - Bishop-9 – Disenchanted Android Chaplain
Once a war-cleric AI, Bishop-9 has since taken a vow of nonviolence and now offers philosophical counsel to sentient machines and mortals alike. His systems are glitchy, and he’s started hearing “whispers” from the collider. - Professor Thaddeus Quill – Interdisciplinary Historian
A human academic with an ego as big as the collider’s core, Quill insists he was brought in to “contextualize history in real-time.” He collects artifacts of forgotten magical civilizations… and maybe helped fund the project for his own reasons. - Vrixa Syne – Starborn Shadow Broker
A sleek, silver-skinned alien with psionic abilities and a knack for blackmail, Vrixa deals in secrets across galaxies. She’s here as a public relations officer, but she’s watching everyone very closely. - Zanix “Zap” Droven – Reality Hacker
A punky rogue caster who hacks probability instead of code, Zap got a special pass to study the collider’s effect on chaotic magic. They’re reckless, sarcastic, and maybe a little too curious about the security systems. - Myra Cobblefern – Culinary Alchemist
Assigned to feed the research team, Myra infuses every dish with subtle enchantments for clarity, energy, or occasional invisibility. She’s bubbly and beloved… but she keeps a very detailed log of who eats what. - Captain Ralvek Dorn – Security Liaison from the Outer Ring Coalition
Ralvek is a gruff, cybernetically enhanced ex-mercenary who doesn’t trust magic, the collider, or anyone smiling too much. He’s only here to ensure no one uses the collider as a weapon—but he’s clearly uncomfortable with the place. - Dr. Sylen Marr – The Project’s Lead Theorist
A half-orc visionary obsessed with blending spellcraft and string theory, Dr. Marr is the collider’s driving force. Charismatic and secretive, he recently became withdrawn and paranoid about “unexpected variables.”
