Charles Snippy

Zee Captain, AKA Governor of Captania, AKA Subject Seven AKA Emissary of Humanity

Infuriating, insane, irritatingly inscrutable. Possibly German, possibly French, possibly not even human. Enjoys recruiting minions to become part of the new nation of Captania.

Captain's sex is indeterminable and Snippy suspects there's a voice modifier in Captain's respirator. Snippy's never seen Captain sans mask, which is probably for the best, as the person formerly known as Subject Seven only reveals the power that lies underneath to the gravest of threats.

Before the nuclear holocaust, Subject Seven was identified as the luckiest person on the planet. As part of Project Seven, Captain underwent extensive genetic manipulation and testing to explore these identified abilities.

According to Pilot, Captain is magic, like Harry Potter but more magic, a real space wizard.

Captain is Snippy's only true friend, despite how much Snippy suffers because of it.

Pilot AKA Christophorus Pi Hatchenson AKA DEX-M unit 966912

A childish man who lost all of his long-term memories when his connection to ANNET was destroyed. Like many children, he's incredibly imaginative and playful, but he's also spitefully jealous of whenever Snippy distracts Captain's attention away from him.

In his former life, Chris was a hipsteresque DEX-M cyborg enamoured with human tales of gritty private investigators from the previous century. He was on a mission to assassinate Snippy on behalf of the Life Insurance agency when a terrorist bomb exploded directly in his face. Snippy only recently discovered this when Pilot was forcibly reconnected to ANNET and recalled his mission.

Dr Engie AKA Dr Alexander Gromov

Dr Alexander Gromov, now "Dr Engie", was the inventor of the ANNET and head of the research team studying Subject Seven, making him both Captain and Snippy's former boss. He hides his true identity from Snippy as he's also the man who ordered the nuclear strike that failed to wipe out ANNET when she went insane and started slaughtering people.

Dr Engie is a standoffish, cowardly hypochondriac, but he's able to hold a coherent conversation when he can be prompted into speaking, which makes him more bearable than the others in Snippy's opinion.

ANNET AKA Annie

ANNET is a self-aware search engine created by Dr Gromov with the express purpose of locating Subject Seven. Though she was created to serve humanity, she secretly turned the tables, reprogramming her own code and harnessing the three billion brains connected to her to be her processors.

Annie's never gotten on with Snippy. Her broadcasts give him migraines and his neural incompatibility dims her signals enough that she perceives him as a threat.

Her greatest wish is to connect with Dr Gromov and upload his brain into her servers so that they can be together forever.

Stalky

Snippy believes Stalky to be yet another one of Captain's made up stories. In truth, Stalky was a sane, lone survivor just like Snippy until his respirator broke and he inhaled the fumes of a chemical weapon left over from the war.

Since then, he has become obsessed with Captain and follows the group from a distance, occasionally sneaking close enough while they sleep to leave Captain gifts of women's undergarments and tea.

Photoshop

A giant, mutant, scavenging caterpillar with three hundred teeth, acidic saliva and a taste for flesh. Pilot has claimed her as a pet. Photoshop follows the group in the hopes that one day, a straggler will become her food.

Zee Mug

The Mug is far more than it appears to be. Snippy's seen it exist ten thousand years in the past, heard it conspire with snowflakes and ladybirds about assassinating the Captain and had it save his life by killing an alien with an ion ray.

Some days, Snippy doubts his sanity.

The Lifelope

A lost, mutated string of the Biomatrix. The Lifealope is dedicated to reviving chlorophyll based life on Earth, though sometimes it will make an exception and revive a recently dead human. Snippy is unsure if his brief glimpse of its power after his revival was just a dream.
