Miriam Prisma Birthday: 10/12/81 Age: 34 Hair: Silver Eyes: Violet Personality: INFP Alignment: Neutral Good • Miriam “Miri” Prisma is Lily and Alice’s mother. Elegant, reserved, and knowledgeable, she perceives much more than her gentle appearance suggests. She works at the Persian as a waitress to provide for her daughters, who are central to her life. On the outside, she is practical and motherly, but maybe she still feels a little childish on the inside.

Lily Prisma Birthday: 12/25/98 Age: 17 Grade: 12 Hair: Silver Eyes: Red Personality: INTP Alignment: True Neutral • Lily is intelligent, reserved, mysterious, and a pleasure to be around. She developed a reliable personality at a young age in response to her beloved but overly adventurous sister, and perhaps in emulation of her hard working mother. She knows a lot about a lot of things and knows it, especially concerning photography and music. She is usually quite serious, but will occasionally show her deadpan sense of humor. She sees something in John that others miss, and she becomes clumsy and open around him even though she’s older. However, she is relatively unemotional toward those not in her tight circle of family and friends, so she finds little value in sentimentality and agonizing over the past, but she continues to record images anyway. As a photographer, her struggle is to capture the emotion in present moments for the future. • Bad with technology, physically clumsy, likes John for his childlike mind, protective of sister, contemplative, good at photography, strong-willed, subtle, perceptive, reflects John, can be unsure of self, bad cook, not particularly sentimental, acts as “straight man,” for Alice, had a good childhood, doesn’t have many friends due to solitary nature, friendships she does have run deep, only opens herself up to a select few, has trouble communicating about herself, is sometimes wrapped up in small details. • Lives in present, learns to accept future and past. Alice Prisma Birthday: 3/1/107 Age: 8 Grade: 3 Hair: Black Eyes: Blue Personality: ENFJ Alignment: Chaotic Neutral • Alice is quick witted, shamelessly goofy, hard to follow, constantly packed with energy, and pretty much invincible. She developed her personality to offset Lily’s serious, protective side. Interested in John because she thought he looked “like an interesting guy,” her spontaneous little decisions often change the world in a big way. She considers it her god-ordained duty to provide comic relief, and she's quickly becoming a professional slapstick comedian. She lacks friends her age; her maturity level is rather high, so Alice has older friends like Bill and John. She wants to be a tour guide because she’s convinced that Eridea is “the most beautiful place ever”, and she wants everyone to see it from her perspective. Her struggle is to bring light to Eridea’s future through helping older people see it through a pure child’s eyes. • Fun, invincible, hates school, loves life, smart for her age, talks funny, makes John see the world’s beauty, doesn’t worry about the little things, boundlessly energetic, changes the world on a whim, can’t be contained, innocent. • Is not bound by time and space. John Alexander Birthday: 1/21/100 Age: 15 Grade: 10 Hair: Black Eyes: Green Personality: INFJ Alignment: Lawful Good • John is a student of history, which he sees as the foundation for the future. When he arrived by boat a year ago, he didn’t know anyone in the area, so he is currently coming out of a period of social exclusion and anxiety. He is very knowledgeable about his surroundings, but is unrivaled in his density concerning the obvious. He perceives the world as strange, and he sometimes feels like he is broken emotionally. His struggle is learning to live happily in the present to create a happy future for himself and the Prisma family. • Naive, smart but dense concerning the obvious, likes history, was a shut-in for a year, coming out of old social anxiety, very knowledgeable about his surroundings, good with technology, fast learner, has a good heart, likes teasing Lily but isn’t very good at it, misses childhood deeply, prone to nightmares, arrived by boat from foreign land, feels like he is broken emotionally, sees the world as strange, wants to be accepted, shows his strength in protecting the Prisma family, has a complex inner life, thinks of himself as poetic. • Lives in future and past, learns to accept present. Isis Dodgson Birthday: 11/5/99 Age: 16 Grade: 10 Hair: Brown Eyes: Hazel Personality: ENFP Alignment: Chaotic Good • Isis is a free spirit and a performer. Always full of energy, she seeks to make social situations carefree and fun. Even though she gives off the impression of being an airhead, she is actually quite perceptive concerning people's hidden emotions and motives. Kindhearted and sociable, she makes friends easily, and her struggle is to grow them as individuals by accentuating their positive traits. As a child, however, she was very withdrawn and quiet; her talkative, aloof nature emerged sometime in middle school. She is rarely depressed, but when she is, she has trouble showing it to others, preferring to put on a mask of contentment. Her dream of the future is to be an actress, and she often forgets to accept the past and present as an equally valuable part of her nature. • Extravert, actress, friendly, wants people to get along, has certain insecurities about the past, would be manipulative if she were evil, an even worse cook than Lily, externally aloof but internally sharp, daydreamer, likes cozy things, attracted to solitary people like John and Lily. • Lives in future, learns to accept past and present. Seth Schumann Birthday: 8/11/-50 Age: 165, 70 at disappearance Hair: Gray Eyes: Blue Personality: INTJ Alignment: Neutral Evil • Seth Schumann is a brilliant scientist, an obsessive perfectionist, and a lover of all that is aesthetically pleasing. When he began his work on the Laplacian IMAGE Oscillator as a young adult, his dream of reaching the past began to manifest into reality, and before he knew it, he was one of the leading scientists of the modern era. His ambitions were great, and his abilities were even greater; his amiable, no-nonsense character elevated him to the highest point among Eridea's scholars. When his wife and daughter passed away in A.E. 13, his peers noted a distinct change in his practical disposition. Fixation on insignificant details, shortness of interaction, and unreasonable expectations plagued his work until he was forced into early retirement along with the Hall of Records. With nothing to direct his energy toward, his sanity gradually deteriorated, and by A.E. 18, he was little but a shell of his old self, a bitter old man obsessed with doll making, classical music, and far-fetched theories. He disappeared completely in A.E. 20. • Early: Perfectionist, genius, personable, witty, ambitious, free-thinking, imaginative, strong ego, applies his knowledge to further technology, high hopes for the future of humanity. • Late: Obsessive, withdrawn, bitter, emotionally and psychologically unstable, bipolar alternating between clarity and deep sadness depending on whether his creations are beautiful enough for him, unreasonable desire for perfection or “the perfect girl,” fragile ego, compulsion toward “magic.” • Lives in past and future, fails to learn how to live in present.
