Alex

Alex is male gray cat morph (biped).
As a teenager, he and 11 other friends boarded a cargo pod on the colony world Bright Hope, attempting to stowaway on the privately-operated transport vessel Twintails (captained by Dawn's-Light, aunt of chakat Brighteyes).  The attempt was Brighteyes' idea.
Instead, they chose the wrong cargo pod, and it was attached to the Folly.  The group was discovered by Neal Foster (Folly's captain and only crewmember at that time, not counting the ship's self-aware computer Tess) a few hours after the Folly had jumped to warp and left the system, and Neal's timetables would not allow him to turn around and return the group to Bright Hope... so the group was stuck aboard the Folly for the next 16 to 23 months.
