The two families who might actually appear in Galactiquest.

Bios Below

-The Summers’s-

James Summers – He’s a pilot, and because of that, he doesn’t get to see his family all too often, but he tries to make up for it when he gets home. He loves that he gets to see different places around the world and will often come home with cool souvenirs, food, or knowledge about other cultures. He’s just as talkative as Leon, and has a bunch of acquaintances around the world. One of his hobbies is trying to learn new languages so he can chat with locals in other countries (and not almost get stranded in Spain again). So far he knows two: English and Spanish (with the help of his wife and sons). Yes, that is a Sonic emblem on his jacket. It’s a placeholder until I can figure out a decent one.

Santana Ibarra-Aiza – Originally from Spain, and used to help out on her family’s sheep farm until one of their sheep found a pilot who crashed in the meadow nearby. The pilot is now her husband and the sheep is now Angelo’s jacket (it was originally a gift to James when it died) Santana works from home as a customer service advisor for an electronics retail website. Her computer and phone are usually set up in the kitchen, and her sons are careful not to barge into the kitchen in case she’s taking a phone call. She’s the most well-versed in technology in the Summers’ household. She used to be more nervous around people, and still doesn’t care for crowds, but she’s not as anxious as Angelo. Taught Leon and Angelo Spanish.

-The Galhardo-Alverez’s-

Ceasar Galhardo-Valdez – Originally from Venezuela, his family moved to the United States when he was a young boy. He worked his way up through the ranks of the then-new Intergalactic Forces and helped stop a space war from occurring, shaping the IF into what it’s become and ascending to some of the highest ranks it has to offer. He takes great pride in the IF and gave his sons the best training so that they could become a part of it. Sometimes, people worry that he throws himself too far into his work, but Lorenzo admires that about him. In fact, Lorenzo admires everything about his father, and hopes that someday, he too will have awesome sideburns like him. Emil loves his dad too, but isn’t sure if he wants to completely follow in his footsteps like Lorenzo does.  Interestingly enough, overall, Ceasar is more laid-back than Lorenzo, isn’t as anxious in social situations, and doesn’t actually overwork himself. He wishes his sons learned more languages than just English and Spanish.

Rosa Alverez- Divorced Cesar and remarried when the boys were kids. Lorenzo’s still a little miffed about the whole thing and is pretty distant from her. Emil, however, got over it quickly and remains close with her, as well as her new husband. She’s generally cheery and relaxed like Emil, but a little bit stubborn, which is where Lorenzo gets it from. She and Emil share a strong love of music and partially the reason why Emil listens to music from all over. She was responsible for giving her sons middle names, because I totally didn’t screw up Spanish cultures’ naming conventions and give Lorenzo too many names.
