Part 2: Life Outside the Elysium - A Guide to the Characters
DRAMATIS PERSONAE
Note: Life Outside the Elysium is a work of fiction. Unless otherwise indicated, all the names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents in this book are either the product of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Both Part 1, Life in the Elysium and Part 2, Life Outside the Elysium are copyright 2024/25 by the author, all rights reserved.
This is the second part of a three part series set in the Elysium Universe. Part 2 is over 350k words and there are
a lot
of characters, so we at Sinclair Group LLP have created the following character cheat sheet for people to reference as they are reading Part 2. This covers characters who appear in Part 2 and either play a major role, are mentioned repeatedly, or are sexual partners with characters in the story. Many are characters that also appeared in Part 1, but not all, so the bios here will be focused on their Part 2 character attributes that may have changed from Part 1. The characters in our story are dynamic and change, just like real people, as the story unfolds.
The character bios are as accurate as they can be, as we use this cheat sheet for reminders and continuity checks, but in-story discussion will always control if the bios don't match what's in the text. Let us know in the comments or via email if you catch anything we didn't!
Hopefully this will help people as they read part two in our series, Life Outside the Elysium!

Author's note:
When I first started writing Part 1, I had Jenny Ortega from Wednesday in mind - at least, a blonde version of her. As time went on and her character evolvedthroughout Part 2, I realized I was picturing her more like Margot Robbie than Jenny Ortega, so I have updated the lookalike to match.)
