Gael, an outcast, consumed by the need to be remembered forever, he has cut off everyone close to him. As the final crew member of humanity’s most critical mission, his relentless ambition drives him forward. An egomaniac with no limits, he will destroy anything—to secure his legacy. Gael has been an outcast his entire life, but that's only because he chose to be this way. Gael has pushed away everyone in life, and its because he doesn't want anything to stop him from his goal of becoming someone. Which fits exactly with how he deals with his emotions and decisions in the story. He is very determined but is also a coward, selfish and cynical. Like EGO he cares for nothing but the mission, which shows their similarity and incomparability. At the start, he is quite passive but once he comes to grips with his reality and what's at stake he quickly becomes an entirely different person. Gael realises what is at stake now. If he is found floating in space dead. He will be seen as a deserter, and most of all, he will be forgotten. He is quite an odd person but isn't crazy. And this situation is an explosion of ambition and instincts to survive. Gael has to overcome and outwit EGO, that is the game. Note: this role will require performing in an enclosed space. The pod is on its way to completion, be aware that this is a confined space. The pod has been designed in two halves. One half is on wheels so you can safely and quickly get you out if you would like some air. Production has worked with an architect and construction workers to create a safe set. The dimensions of the pod are 6ft(W)x6FT(H)x6.1/2ft(L). And we are currently working on the interior design, but we will begin to decorate the set early next month. Gael - Temporary name - Dialogue isn't gender specific and can be suited to fit YOU.

E.G.O is a cold, calculating AI program with a singular focus: extracting information from Gael and ensuring the research remains secure—no matter the cost. Cunning and highly complex, E.G.O operates with pure logic, lacking any true understanding of humanity. If eliminating Gael is necessary to fulfil its mission, it will do so without hesitation. E.G.O has been initiated by the pod due to a protocol when there is a system failure on board the escape pod. The AI despises anything that isn't the mission directed to him: to keep the mission and its research safe and to gain information for the next attempt to save humanity. Although the AI itself is considered the Antagonist of the story. E.G.O is the only character to think logically and to truly see what's important. The E.G.O is complex and is extremely confident in its decisions. Hence the name E.G.O. EGO Will be recording AUDIO - 29th

Yuri is a faithful priest who believes in the church’s teachings and his role as a guide for others. Beneath his composed exterior, he struggles with doubt, desire, and the crushing weight of responsibility. His morals are tested by an ominous stranger who shares a dangerous and potentially fatal secret during confession. He wants to do the right thing but begins to fall apart when faced with confessions that test his moral boundaries and a love affair he cannot acknowledge. Yuri must confront a devastating truth: his silence is not just about faith but about protecting himself.

Raised by his strict and profoundly religious grandmother, Ilyas learned early on that suffering was a form of love. His faith vanishes as he realizes he doesn’t fit in outside Granny’s unconventional teachings. In his dreams, God speaks to him and encourages him to execute God’s will and punish Granny's sins. Much like his Granny, he begins to believe he is a messenger for God’s will. Desperate to find answers, Ilyas looks for Yuri, whose words become a doubled edged sword.

Lilly wants more than what this small town has to offer. She grew up with religion all around her, but she never let it define her. She sees the cracks in people, including Yuri, and she isn’t afraid to push them. She’s not a temptress - she’s warm, filled with curiosity, and represents a reminder that there’s life beyond guilt.

Granny believes she’s doing God’s work, even when that work is cruel. Ilyas is the reason why her daughter died, and Granny sees him as a burden, as if it was meant for her to punish his orphan grandson. Her worldview is shaped by the strict religious environment she grew up in, where faith was closely tied to discipline, and strict obedience was seen as the only way to survive in a brutal or unforgiving world. She is a force of nature, unyielding and devout, but beneath her rigidity is a woman shaped by loss and fear

Chinese immigrant grandmother: Stern, no filter, with a sharp sense for business, an unwavering work ethic, and an impermeable coat of emotional armor. She has lived in Canada long enough almost to lose her accent but not her fight-for-survival attitude. She has an impeccable memory, does not forgive easily, and is a ruthless and resourceful businesswoman. As the only Asian family in town, she is used to being an outsider but always knows the inside scoop.

Caucasian Mennonite grandmother: A polite, soft-spoken woman on the outside but with a witty sense of humour on the inside. Only those closest to her get the benefit of her underbreath commentary. She is a curious observer. She’s the tactician. She’s the last person that you would expect to go against tradition, but she’s way too smart to keep doing things just for the sake of tradition. Her quick wit and analytical brain make her indispensable when shit needs to get done.

Caucasian Mennonite grandmother: Quirky, jovial woman with a heart of gold. She tends to blurt things out before polishing her thoughts, but her intentions are always kind. She’s a god-fearing people-pleaser who wants everyone to get along but won’t hesitate to call you out if she thinks you’re wrong. She’s strong-minded and would do anything to help a friend in need.

Chinese/Canadian (Emily’s mother): Smart, tough, sarcastic widow whose life is way more complicated than it should be for someone her age. Her motherly instincts become distorted as her drive to solve the mysterious death of her husband consumes her. Her relationships with her mother, culture, and hometown are layered with complications that pull her in conflicting directions. She’s driven primarily by fear of failing her daughter and determined not to become her mother, but at the same time, she yearns for her mother’s approval. She’s fiercely independent, stubborn, and badass.
