Cast of Characters

This is NOT a complete cast of characters. As the story progresses, additional people will be added as chapters are posted on SOL. Names and statuses in this cast presume you’ve kept up on things. If you have NOT read everything, you won’t necessarily know who is being referenced.

And, of course, any names or similarities to any person, living, dead, or fictional is purely coincidental (maybe).
