David Wright

Because his first language isn’t English, he hasn’t actually heard as many puns about his surname as you’d expect. However, he has heard enough puns to have heard the one you’re about to make. If he escapes the Location, he's going to be a massive boon for a relatively obscure subfield of paraphysics, and is blissfully unaware of this fact.

It’s important to show at least a passing interest in your loved ones’ work. Her partner is a paraphysicist (someone who studies superhumans and their powers), so she's certainly more involved in their work than she was ever expecting to be.

So-called ‘changelings’ are superhumans whose powers permanently and statically change their physical or mental baseline. Ash is going to be finding out interesting facts about her own biology for months, yet.

Anders Hallström

Went into a career that involved not talking to people for extended periods of time. Was lonelier than he let himself believe. Is now in a position where he has to negotiate with people in order to speak, and is finding it grating.
