The Main Characters

A group of kids, teens and a young adult. What went from two missing siblings from one of the group, went on to be an expansive adventure that in the end, took everything from them. Be warned, there may be spoilers from characters that reprise their roles in other parts of the Phobos Saga.

In General

The Group

• Connected All Along: They were all lab experiments created by Synchroneity, with the exception of Scott.
• Fire-Forged Friends: It's hard not to become friends after all the insane circumstances they go through together.
• Guile Hero: The group is very talented at spinning tales, especially Lucas and Malika.
• He Who Fights Monsters: The whole group becomes more morally ambiguous as the members are worn down by their dealings with Synchroniety and the Traveler, willing to physically attack and even kill the people coming after them.

• Power at a Price: Using their powers causes the group pain and sometimes physical harm.
• Powers via Possession: Scott inhabits the body of whoever is using their powers.
• Psychic Link: They share a psychic connection through Scott's consciousness living in them.
