Characters

Tempo Templeton

The Mute

Thirteen-year-old Tempo Templeton lost his voice to a spell gone wrong. He now communicates entirely through musical notes. While most people hear only a jumble of tones, his mother, Francis, can interpret his thoughts directly. He remained isolated from society until the creation of Tempo's Alphabet finally allowed him to translate his mind.

Bryant Landbottom

The Mogul

Bryant Landbottom treats human existence like software waiting for deployment. As a ruthless tech and media mogul, he manipulates predictive algorithms and legal frameworks for profit. He finds genuine joy in turning civil rights into lucrative corporate monopolies while aggressively chasing global fame.

Margaret Mallow

The Maestro

Margaret Mallow was Tempo's music teacher and the first to recognize his musical notes as a structured language. Stepping into the roles of speech therapist and tutor, she collaborated with Tempo to build his unique Alphabet. Together, they transformed his private melodies into a code the entire world can understand.

Saranda Dreamweaver

The Mystic

Saranda Dreamweaver is an immortal Albanian witch governed by a strict cosmic law. If she uses magic for personal benefit, she faces execution by fire. Barred from pursuing her own fame, she channels her power into the public by posting spells on TikTok that grant success in sports, art, politics, and technology to lucky viewers.
