The Princess of the Soleria, or the Sun Clan, hails from the seventh ring of Saturn in the Sol System. As captain of The Rising Sun, Solstice Dayton is known for her dreamvisions, telepathy, bioluminescence, sunrays, solarplosion, EMP, slipstream surf, and flight. Her nickname is Sunbeams. She’s alt that, but also an immaculately conceived immortal sun deity who wants an Earth boy to love her across space-time forevermore, while she sings, surfs, and hangs out with her sentient dog.

The Prime Aetha leads the Aethan Clan. Since Baeran Sheridan is Terran-born, he often has to return to Aetha Prime, a planet populated only by teens, in his ship, The Astral Seascaper, to compete in a series of contests to the death that are frequently interrupted by long stretches of mating and consuming cheeseburgers and Mexican Cola. But they don’t call it Mexican Cola on Aetha Prime, just good cola. Nicknamed Stickster, he has gray lightning and can absorb other powers. Also, he mistakenly thinks Selene is his dog.

Her best friends are Eclipse, a giant panther, and Sunbeams, a regular-sized horse.  She's a great listener and can speak in dreams. At some point, everyone calls her Soleil until certain people finally realize dogs can time travel, too.

The Air Elemental has never met anyone from the Airan, who are known for their webbed armpits and toes and beak-like noses. That's so not Lani Sheridan. The leader of the Air Clan goes by Skyhaven. Unlike her people, she is Terran-born and achieves flight not by gliding, but rather through the gifts of windy hair, hand whirls, and the spin vortex. Her spaceship, the Sky Haven, is the largest in space and is meant to serve as an aviary because her clan fears confined spaces above all else. She’s totally into Jordin but not so much her goofy brother Baeran or her title, Talon.

The Water Elemental, known as the Wydrate by her clan, piloted her spaceship, The Shui Nuer, only briefly before crashing it. Jordin Brooks' abilities include healing, forming whirlpools, and creating killer waves. At the dawn of the apocalypse, she harbored a secret. She’ll fight when she must, but is most comfortable tending to those who’ve suffered on the battlefield. While Baer was her first love, Lani will always have her heart.

The Duchess of Darkness is nobody's Shadow. The leader of the Nemar hails from the dark star Nemesis. Narista Morenos' first power, the Illusion, began as freckles and evolved into tattoos. Telepathy, Nether, Blackshine, Nemepulse, Shadow, Unpossiblevision, Flying, and Technoconstruct followed later. Like all from the Nether Clan, she dyes her blonde hair black. She grew up on a farm, and a goat once saved her life. She built her spaceship, The Dusk Singularity, from scraps of space debris and a Ferocity regeneration pod. She's not overly fond of Soleria, except for that one time she accidentally fell in love with one.

The press dubbed him Scorch, and Fusion Ardiente has a ship called The Soleria Bane.  It's named for how Solstice's people don't know how to love, which would seem like the worst, but he's also Fire Clan. And the Ferocity likes to burn, burn it all, and burn it again. So, arguably, everyone hates his clan. Technically, he's an Emperor, but nobody ever gave him the title, maybe because he's got a real problem with clothes. Plus, he's dabbled in dazing and eating people, so there's that. But he likes hats and dwarfs or dwarves. He's never sure which is right. But Solstice was once sweet on him and his Red Light hands, and she was an elf, or an angel- no, wait, an alien.

You say it like K.C., not case. Kase Tellurian used to have a Y at the end of her name, but the apocalypse blew it off her name tag, and she's been mad ever since.  She doesn't care about being Queen of the Dazed, her stupid ship, The Lost Solace, or the Earth Clan, aka the Eartarin, a bunch of farmers who allow their planet to be burned continuously 1/7th at a time, or how her title is the Plot. But she's okay with her nickname, Smash, because she's got quake feet, power punch, and super strength. Also, the apocalypse is devoid of coffee, which is the worst because she was a barista until it blew off her Y and vaporized all the beans.

The eighth Elemental to get his powers has no formal title, nor a home planet, and arguably the worst icon ever–the uni boob– a circle and a dot. SmithX can shape stone and nothing else, yet Eos Perecido is responsible for building Terramour Prime, the Elementals' super-secret hideout, based on all the best stuff he remembers from comic books growing up. His spaceship, The Slipstream Echo, has the same subspace drive as Baer's, but Baer made his pointier and longer. Go figure. Also, he's The Map. If you need to go to the center of the galaxy and find a seven-ring planet that one day will become a star, he's your guy.
