**What is Interspellar?**

Interstellar is a fantasy series that combines the setting of outer space with fantasy elements and magic. It follows a main cast as they attempt to lead a rebellion against the counsel that rules the galaxy with an iron fist. One of their missions is to locate the six cosmic stones and use their magic to dismantle the counsel and their reign.

**Who are the main characters?**

There are seven major characters, all of whom are part of the rebellion attempting to take down the counsel. They are:

-Cassiopeia (Cass) [she/her]

*A star marked. She is the pseudo-leader of their group, but oftentimes butts heads with Dess. She grew up as an orphan on a planet and joined the rebellion because of a close friend. Strong willed and confident, she has a knack for getting out of tough scrapes, even if she has no respect for rules or authority.*

-Dessponia (Dess) [she/her]

*A void marked, the daughter of a rebel captain, she has been in the rebellion since she was a child. Strict and powerful, she is a heavy rule follower and struggles with Cass’s brashness and unconventional ideas.*

-Lumi [they/she/he]

*A very talented inventor despite being the youngest of the group, Lumi is a brilliant engineer who creates a number of gadgets for the rebellion. A comet marked.*

-Ophiuchus (Ophi) [he/him]

*The son of a revered rebel who passed away some time ago, Ophi is eager to prove himself and although he sometimes exaggerates his abilities, his heart is good and he cares very deeply for the others, particularly Lumi, who he shares a close friendship with. A moon marked*

-Solaris [he/him]

*An sun marked and an escaped counsel prisoner, Solaris strangely has no memories before the age of 14. He is the currently only known survivor of a planet called Surya, which was annihilated in a counsel attack. He is a brilliant strategist and has served as a bit of a mentor to a couple of the others in terms of training. He is serious and blunt, but perhaps there’s more than that deep within himself, but he refuses to let that side show.*

-Arion [he/him]

*Dess’s twin brother, they were separated as children and Arion went on to be a soldier for the counsel. He and Solaris met during that period, and when he rescued Solaris from capture on a rebellion mission, he came back with him. He’s joined the rebellion, but tensions are still high with some members, including his sister. He is a comet marked.*

-Helix [they/them]

*The child of one of the council members, Helix is a fairly high ranking commander in their empire. What none of them know, is that they’ve been feeding the rebellion information for years, and is one of the core reasons they can complete missions and haven’t been wiped out by the counsel. They are nebula marked.*

**How does the magic work?**

The people in Interspellar are born marked as one of six kinds of magic. If two parents have the same mark, their child will have that mark. If the parents have different marks, there is a 50/50 chance the child will have either type of mark.

A mark is located like a tattoo somewhere on the person’s body, and glows when they use their magic. Magic is life, it flows in all living things and if something’s magic is totally depleted, it will die as it is the being’s life force itself. Magic is the primary form of combat, as technology is also powered by it.

The six types of marks are:

-Sun (fire magic)

-Moon (terraforming and water magic)

-Star (light magic)

-Void (shadow magic)

-Comet (ice magic)

-Nebula (air magic)

There are also six cosmic stones, beautiful gems that hold within them the most powerful magic of each type in the universe. Whoever holds them and can harness its magic would be one of the most powerful magic users of that type in the galaxy.
