Sol

Sol, a character in the Across the Void series, is the First Officer of the Atlas and one of the Main Character's love interests. He is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Sol has black hair, multicolor eyes, and fairly tan skin. He has what appears to be gems on his hair and around his eyes. He wears a blue waistcoat with gold decorations, a dark purple top and a black belt underneath, and a black scarf. He is noted to be tall and graceful, with a long frame.

Personality
He is usually depicted as educated and level-headed. However, he has a callous attitude towards a wounded Apri in Chapter 5, claiming that she would "disrupt the luxury atmosphere". He is also very by-the-book, such as when he uses the Galas and Get-togethers Etiquette Handbook to prepare the party in Chapter 10.

Main Character
He is one of your character's love interests. As your first officer, he usually comes to you with any concerns from the crew or passengers. He also tells you he is obligated to report your actions to Artemis, and throughout the book, he tells you what Artemis would think or say about your actions or the circumstances surrounding the Atlas. Even though that is his duty, he sometimes appears uncomfortable having to do it. If you flirt with him, he and Zekei appear to blush the most out of all your potential love interests. If you choose to take a tour of the Atlas with him in Chapter 2, he buys the scarf you choose for him to remind himself of this moment. If you choose to dance with him in Chapter 4, he tells you more about himself. Including the fact that he was the first in his family to ever leave Dynamos. He goes on to say that he never felt like belonged there, but knew he wanted be among the stars. He also tells you that he has fourteen brothers and sisters, although he's not particularly close to any of them. He tells you that they were all taught by their parents to keep to themselves growing up. In Chapter 9, if you compliment him on his strong arms, he says they're an added Dynamas bonus. In Chapter 10, you can choose to further your romance with him.

Artemis
Artemis is Sol's employer.
