CHARACTERS

EDDIE WESSON (30s) joined The Masked with one purpose: to infiltrate Interworld Safari and bring it down from within. A lifelong animal lover, Eddie has spent the past year inside the company, beginning as a Safari Scout, surveying alien worlds and documenting their wildlife while quietly gathering evidence against the industry exploiting them. His recent promotion to Safari Guide gives him unprecedented access to Interworld’s most coveted expeditions—and brings him closer than ever to exposing the truth. But it also forces Eddie to lead wealthy hunters in pursuit of the very creatures he has sworn to protect. Now, after a year undercover, Eddie may finally have the opportunity to destroy Interworld from within.

GENERAL RICHARD LENNOX (50s) is famed for his crowning achievement: Space-Tunnels, ushering in interstellar travel. He led the operation from 2215 to 2219; a man of diverse passions, honed in his late twenties hunting big game in East Africa. With a no-nonsense demeanor, his dry humor seldom surfaces, yet beneath lies a reservoir of honor and loyalty. But his unwavering allegiance occasionally draws him into the wrong crowd, putting his well-being in danger. Prepare to delve into the riveting voyage of a man whose legacy intertwines with danger and honor alike.

DANTE MORALES (40s) is one of the wealthiest men on Earth and the visionary mastermind behind Interworld Safari. His revolutionary Eco-Clone technology transformed bio-replication and built him an empire, allowing hunters to kill exotic alien wildlife under the promise that every animal can simply be replaced. Articulate, charismatic, and ruthlessly ambitious, Morales presents himself as an explorer and conservationist while privately protecting a business built on exploitation. He views alien worlds as resources waiting to be claimed and anyone threatening Interworld as an obstacle to be removed. With his legacy and fortune tied to the company’s success, Morales will go to extraordinary lengths to protect the illusion that made Interworld possible—and ensure history remembers his name.

ZOE DUUN (30s) is a celebrated documentarian who has filmed safari expeditions across twelve newly discovered worlds, earning a reputation for remaining calm when everyone else is running for cover. Independent, perceptive, and fearless behind a camera, Zoe has built her life around documenting truth rather than becoming part of anyone else’s story. A natural empath, she feels others' suffering deeply, allowing her to capture moments most people overlook. But on this expedition, remaining an observer becomes increasingly impossible. As the hunt spirals out of control and Interworld’s secrets surface, Zoe’s camera becomes more than a tool for documenting events—it becomes a witness, putting her in a position to help expose the truth.

JOYCE LENNOX (40s) is elegant, entitled, and accustomed to a life where privilege opens every door. The stunning wife of General Richard Lennox, she wears her status effortlessly, using a sharp tongue and casual superiority with those beneath her. But behind the polished exterior is a calculating opportunist with loyalties of her own. Secretly aligned with Dante Morales, Joyce uses her access to Lennox to keep Morales informed, even as her husband begins questioning Interworld’s practices. She has little patience for conscience, sentiment, or anything that threatens the life she believes she deserves. When Lennox’s growing concern for the wildlife puts him at odds with Morales, Joyce makes her choice. Ambitious and ruthlessly self-serving, she ultimately values power and privilege over her marriage.

With a heart full of kindness and a longing for companionship, Emily lacks nothing but the company of her beloved brother.

NAOMI ORTIZ (30s) is a former Navy SEAL and expert marksman who approaches an alien safari with the same discipline she once brought to combat. Tough, observant, and fiercely self-reliant, Naomi has little patience for weakness, recklessness, or anyone who cannot pull their weight. Raised in foster care, she learned early that depending on others usually ends in disappointment, leaving her guarded and slow to trust. Despite considerable wealth, Naomi lives frugally and has no interest in flaunting what she has. On the expedition, her military instincts make her one of the group’s most capable survivors—and someone Eddie cannot easily dismiss. Beneath her hardened exterior is a woman accustomed to protecting herself, even when survival ultimately demands she trust others.

Meet Dylan Stone (30s), a survivor with an unconventional charm. Despite not being the brightest, he navigated his one-year contract as an Interworld Scout and now aims for the prestigious Guide School. Dylan's shameless attempts to impress superiors reveal his eager-to-please nature, while his womanizing tendencies reflect his aversion to intimacy and self-centered focus. Financially reckless, he overspends to impress fleeting romantic interests, often finding himself broke. Yet, his easygoing nature adds a dash of likability as he refuses to take himself too seriously. Prepare to meet Dylan - a character whose blend of survival instincts and laid-back demeanor paints a unique portrait of resilience and charm.
