None of the characters in my intro are canon to either Animorphs or H2G2. Cortez and Karillian are purely my own invention (aside from Karil being an Andalite, that is). Angel Islington is a character from Gaiman's
Neverwhere.
Sure, join the game at your leisure.
I actually plan to keep profiles (little bullet-by-bullet character descriptions) out of this game. I want the characters to be revealed through plot and dialogue, not pre-given information by the player. That way, the character develops organically instead of subscribing (or attempting badly to subscribe) to a template and then deviating entirely from the template as the story progresses.
All that really needs to be known about them is that the three know each other very well and have for years, Islington and Cortez are both remnants of the Earth-as-destroyed-by-the-Vogons (which just occurred now, by the way), and at one point Cortez sued the Vogons for the total monetary value of planet Earth and its Moon. Cortez was aware of the impending galactic superhighway, so the legal proceedings were complete before the planet even died.
She won the lawsuit and is now effectively a quadrillionaire... she uses the money to fund her space travel as well as a few charities on the side. A significant amount of it was invested in the rapid construction of approximately two hundred personal escape vehicles, which she distributed to other Earth humans before she left Earth for the last time. She also funded Project Noah, which relocated a sufficient breeding population of all known Earth species (all the way down to the fungi and bacteria) to a large, Earthlike moon near the planet Milton Beta. After finishing all these preservative projects and having a collection of suitable new personal spacecraft built for herself and her companions, Cortez was left with approximately 87 trillion dollars... she could still buy a star system if she wanted to. She just doesn't really see the need.
In case you're wondering who beat the Vogons at bureaucracy... Kirillian and Islington made up the team of "crack lawyers" working Cortez's case.
Yeah... they're all kinda' a piece of work.
