Stella (Female, 25-35): Stella is a young woman who really tries to convince everyone — including herself — that she has her shit together, an effort that fails more frequently than it succeeds. She’s earnest even when the world gives her reason not to be, although this earnestness is balanced with a streak of irritability and occasional flashes of anger when she feels patronized or unheard. Stella is filled with wanderlust and a desire for independence, and dreads the thought of moving home to Las Vegas with her tail between her legs after trying to strike it on her own upstate in Reno. Her road trip down the Extraterrestrial Highway is her last hoorah — at least, according to her dwindling bank account — before she is forced to start over again in her hometown. She plans to make the most of the trip, and she attempts to forge connections with characters like…

Bruno and Brunhilda (male, female, any age) two peculiar travelers from Germany eager to glimpse something awe-inspiring near Area 51.
