Meet the Characters in Son of Osivirius

Character Art

Jayden: A desperate pilot torn between survival and conscience.

Jayden was born into the lowest class of the colony, in a place they nickname 'Wormsville' because it is underground, and most of the residents never get to see daylight. Jayden is determined to earn enough money to buy his family a better life in the colony.

Nettle: A guarded rebel biologist struggling to trust the enemy.

Nettle is fiercely protective of the simple life of the rebels and the valley they occupy. She would do anything to maintain the sanctuary it gives them.

This creates enemies-to-lovers tension complicated by ideology, secrecy, and divided loyalties.

Flint: A friendly medic ready to believe the best about everyone.

Nettle's brother Flint share's his sister's love for the valley, but is much more open and welcoming. He's training as a doctor because he wants to help people.

You can read more about how each of these characters interact with fear in my article: Meet the Cast

Shana: A wise animal mentor.

Shana is the majestic matriarch of the Masu, an indigenous species of giant flying cats who have taken the rebels under their wing, so to speak.

Find out a little more about the Masu in my article: Shouldn't it be 'a' Masu? or take a deep dive on the 'Meet the Masu' page.

Commander Avery Tun: An intimidating and manipulative commander fully wedded to capitalism.

Commander Tun rules the colony with an iron fist, and he's willing to sacrifice anyone in his personal vendetta against the rebels.
