Fergus Taylor
Fergus is tall for his age, loves sports and works out regularly in the gym. He’s physically strong and is incredibly proud of achieving a black belt at Taekwondo. He’s Captain of the school football team and spends his weekends chasing extreme sports instead of studying. However, at home he’s side-lined in favour of his two younger half-brothers and struggles with the fact that history seems to be repeating itself when Zara is chosen as their quest’s leader and he continually questions Max’s choice.
Aimie Hudson
With flowing golden waves and a manicure to die for, Aimie is calm, caring, a great communicator and loves rehearsing for her next role at drama school. She’s a home bird, happy to spend hours in her pristine bedroom chatting to friends about the latest fashions, experimenting with new cosmetics, and gossiping about celebrities. She’s also a diligent student, her homework is always in on time, and she loves reading. Like her mother and younger sister, she hates dirt and clutter, and her worse nightmare is going camping. She can’t believe her parents have insisted on her giving Star Camp a try – there’s nowhere to plug in her straighteners… and don’t even mention the toilets!
Oscar Jones
Oscar is a daydreamer. School for him is boring – there’s nothing worse than being forced to read about the world and its inhabitants from dusty old text books instead of experiencing it for real. He loves Scouts and his favourite kind of weekend entails jumping into his family’s campervan with his brother Archie and heading off for a stint of orienteering and communing with nature. He loves animals, plants, astronomy and camping in the wild. He is sensible, practical and patient, but easily diverted when there is an interesting specimen to study.
Wilberforce (Wil) O’Brien
Wil is a gaming maestro. His best friend is his PC and his worse nightmare is spending time in the outdoors. With his father working away for extended periods, he’s the only male in his household with his mum and three very vocal sisters who don’t understand his need for peace and solitude. His world revolves around his extensive collection of comic books and dreaming up strategies for his next virtual mission. He loathes all sports but loves gadgets and tech of every kind, even to the extent of building some of his own. He’s horrified when he’s dropped him off at Star Camp and there’s no wi-fi.
Jasmine Ying
Jasmine is athletic, a talented gymnast who’s forever competing with her cousin Alexa to win the next gold medal. She’s dexterous, adaptable and a team player who is happy to take direction. She excels at every sport she puts her mind to; hockey, tennis, volleyball, netball, but loves the tactical side of the games she plays. She’s an only child, indulged by her parents, the ‘star’ in the house which embarrasses her when she has friends round. She’s prone to scatter her belongings far and wide and her bedroom is littered with books, sports equipment, discarded clothes and trainers, and she’s forever being told to tidy up.
Quinn Hadricus
With spiky blonde hair and elongated earlobes, Quinn Hadricus is marked out as Maximus Hadricus’s youngest son. In the absence of his father and eldest brother, Rufus, he is the de facto Emperor, save for the fact that Zophicus has grabbed the throne for his own. He’s determined to fight against the Dark Ruler’s tyranny and his oppression of the Hadrixian people but is naïve and lacks caution. He’s also a good friend and courageous guide on the Star Jumpers quest to locate the Stone.
