In our game series, there is a core crew of space pirates that is featured in every game, and some characters that only show up in certain modules. There are no new characters featured in World Builder or Character Creator.
All Modules
Ava
Ava is the main character of the game, who the player plays as. She’s a twelve-year-old autistic space pirate who travels the galaxy with Mup, her trusty emotional support pet. She’s a bright and outgoing girl with a special interest in mapmaking.
Mup
Mup is a space corgi who lives in Ava’s backpack and helps her soothe when things get hectic. Almost always down for a good head pat.
Redbraid
Redbraid is the captain of Ava’s crew and a galaxy-class space pirate/adventurer! She acts as Ava’s mentor, and also has ADHD.
Ramenbot
Ramenbot is the crew’s cook and data analyst who also has ADHD traits. He’s always looking for ingredients to help improve his recipes. Specializes in making ramen with a perfect hint of orange zest (which Ava loves)!
Lior
Lior is the ship’s mechanic that keeps things running smoothly. They have a goal of one day finding Maximum Soft, the softest fabric in the galaxy, to cozy up with. They are autistic as well as selectively speaking, and using their scribblet (drawing tablet) to communicate.
💡 Lior uses their scribblet to write symbols, which other characters interpret, similar to an AAC pad. There are certain frequently used symbols that appear throughout narrative modules.
