This is the character sheet for the prequel to The Reconstruction; I Miss the Sunrise. There will be spoilers, so you might want to play the game first. This is a work in progress, so any help is appreciated.
For Tezkhra and Mahk's tropes from The Reconstruction check that games character page.
Ros Ouranos
Ros is a Blank Slate, with no memories, no past, nothing. However, Ros has a special protein in their body that makes them perfect for being a commander, despite having no training.
- An Adventurer Is You: You are Ros, you choose their initial personality, species, gender, etc. And you will choose the decisions they make, and how it affects their personality.
- Blank Slate: You determine who, what, and how Ros acts.
- Cain and Abel: The Cain to Lazarus's Abel.
- Gender-Blender Name: Since Ros can be male or female, their default name is this.
- Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Ros is the default and canon name, but you can give them any name. You cannot change their surname, however, only their given name.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Ros can't remember anything from before being woken up.
- Slept Through the Apocalypse: Ros and his two "siblings" were in suspension tanks during the Shine.
- Technicolor Eyes: Technicolour Sclerae: Male Lacertian Ros has yellow, while female has green.
- Uncertain Doom: In the Optimist ending, there's no indication Ros ever survived of the weapon's disposal.
Marie Sarazon
Marie is a member of the Inquiry, having been there a long time. She seems to be one of the oldest members, having been alive since before people had to stop breeding. She's essentially Ros's second-in-command, and has the trust of many of the people around her.
- Deadpan Snarker: She has her moments.
- Deuteragonist: She's Ros's second-in-command and the second most important character to the story.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Although she's hardly frozen, she does gain a softer side for you.
- The Lancer: She's your second-in-command, after all.
- Older Than They Look: Marie is one of the oldest people in the universe.
- Ship Tease: With Rami.
- Title Drop: Marie gives on in the optimist ending while watching the sunrise with Rami.
Rami Ransend
Rami is an augmented human, and runs the Inquiry's medical lab. He's close friends with Marie and Tez, and was one of the first people to welcome Ros as they were awoken from their stasis.
- Alliterative Name
- Flat "What": Rami's reaction to seeing the Tatzylvurm.
- The Medic: He works in the Medical Lab, after all. Although, with the way battles work, he doesn't get a good chance to show it in the battlefield, he performs an Emergency Transformation surgery on Deirdre.
- Ship Tease: With Marie.
- The Smart Guy
Tezkhra
Tezkhra is a curiously augmented lacertian, a species whose body doesn't allow it to be augmented. He works in the weapons lab, developing and improving upon his Stardraw technology, as well as ones for the Inquiry.
- Arm Cannon: Despite fighting in ships, he does still have one of these, made using his own technology.
- Doomed by Canon: The Black One kills Tez after he lands in the Shra Lowlands during the epilogue, leading to his deceased condition in The Reconstruction.
- The Fog of Ages: Tez deletes what he considers "unnecessary files."
- Foregone Conclusion: See above.
- Gentle Giant: Tez has a huge build, but wouldn't harm anyone unless he needed to.
- Heroic BSoD: He goes through one in the end after he learns that it was HIS technology that nearly destroyed the universe.
- Minored In Ass Kicking: He's a scientist first, fighter second.
- Technicolour Sclerae: Averted actually, like Daszk, he has normal colour sclerae, which could be a hint as his being a Lesser.
- The Reveal: Tez is actually a heavily augmented Lesser. However, Everyone Knew Already.
- The Stoic: Tez rarely shows much emotion, having a cold and logical mindset. He has a few Not So Stoic moments, however, especially after finding out Typelog stole his technology.
Mahk Sikohlon
Mahk is a Sikohlon, a group of galactic arms-dealers and weapon makers. He was thrust into the group by his Father, Ivoronus, to work with them. He works closely with Tez in the Weapons Lab, developing new weapons for the Inquiry, as well as working in the Machinatorium, allowing you to make weapons from scrap you find.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: In start contrast to his personality in The Reconstruction, Mahk here is extremely hot-blooded.
- The Big Guy
- Deadpan Snarker
- Heroic BSoD: After the Mechinatorium is destroyed, Mahk goes quiet and unresponsive, and eventually freaks out and follows after Tez when the latter runs away.
- Gay Option: Mahk will only date a male Ros.
- Insufferable Genius: He gets better.
- I Will Wait for You: If chosen as Ros's Love Interest, he says to Ros before he leaves. However, considering he most likely dies at the end of The Reconstruction, and Ros's fate is left ambiguous, it's safe to say they won't be meeting again.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Snarky and rude at times, but he does genuinely care for those around him.
- Snark Knight: If Ros is a Deadpan Snarker too, then they can have a Snark-to-Snark Combat.
- Technicolour Sclerae: Yellow, like most Lacertians.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy

- Heroic Sacrifice: During the final battle, he will take on entire Lesser Horde either alone or with Chac, Cassidy, Cole and Ivoronus by his side.
- Mr. Imagination: He's very imaginative, and he has all these fantastic ideas he gets lost in.
- The Smart Guy
Daszk Monene
Daszk is a Lesser-Lacertian hybrid that is found trapped behind bars on a ship. He's big and smelly and a little slow on the uptake, but he's an extremely nice guy and doesn't hold a bad bone in his body.
- Catchphrase: He tends to go "Awww..." a lot when he gets stumped.
- Good Is Not Soft: He's a sweet guy, and wouldn't hurt a fly normally. But when he has to, he will.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Says this almost word for word in one of his early dialogues.
Kara Fatima
Kara is a scientist from EROS, joining the Inquiry on orders from EROS to strengthen their ties together. However, she doesn't seem to agree with some of her fellow scientists ways of doing things.

- Action Girl: Alicia even has her own fleet under her.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Alicia is a bit rude to everyone, even her own sister.

Ivoronus Sikholon
Ivoronus is Mahk's Father, and the father of all the Sikholons. He is the owner of the Machinatorium, and allows the Inquiry to use their weapons.
- Secret Character: Recruiting him is a bit of a Guide Dang It! moment, as nothing ever tells you that you should talk to Mahk again.
- So Proud of You: If you choose not the recruit him, he gives Mahk one of these as the Machinatorium is destroyed.
- Technicolour Sclerae: Light blue.
