Okay, us fanfic authors have an advantage here... but perhaps there are actors that look similar enough for your original characters to give the rest of us an idea of what they look like? Here's a nice pic of Virdon (right) and Burke (left) in their astronaut uniforms:

Ahahaha, I shouldn't have come here. Time to roll out the casting list! Val - Kellan Lutz Obviously not grinning, though, because it's Valatrak. Also Kellan Lutz's hair is normally red(-ish). Shadow - Lyndsy Fonseca It really pisses me off that I can't seem to find any good pictures of actresses that aren't overly sexualised online, and this isn't the greatest pic, but it'll have to do. Zeltarc - Colin Farrell No further explanation available. Or necessary. Healy - Chace Crawford Healy's older than he looks. Plus Crawford is about the same age as him in the trilogy, so you know. He does have a 5 o'clock shadow rather than a stubble, but you can't have everything. Bridges - George Clooney/Jeff Bridges Jeff Bridges here, if only because George Clooney doesn't usually wear a beard. I couldn't decide between them. Sandark - Ben Kingsley Give him a cool moustache and I'm happy. --------------------- I believe I started the photo hunt an hour ago. Oops.

Ok so I spent way to much time at work today looking through pictures on pinterest to find my characters. I didn't have anyone in mind when I wrote them so it took a little while to find pictures that matched up with what I had in my mind, but I think I got pretty close. Lieutenant Commander Crystal Wolf - Naomi Scott Lieutenant Desiree Flint - Amo Chidi Ensign Justin Anderson - Josh Hutcherson Ensign Tyler Price - Theo James continued in next post.

Lieutenant James Grady - Alexander Skarsgard Commander Devon Dwite - Chiwetel Ejiofor Captain Johnathan Reed - Roy Scheider (He played the captain in the show that inspired this series and I couldn't think of anyone better to portray Reed) General Ryan Young AKA Ryan Craft - I have no idea who this guy is, it was from a how to take a headshot link but he was the perfect Ryan President Nathan Rank - Jame Mcavoy Sorry some of these are big I don't know how to change the size.

I love seeing pictures of people's characters. It was pretty cool looking at the thread this morning and in my head I was like "Of course that's exactly what Val and Shadow look like," especially since I've been reading excerpts of Chief's stories for like that last year or so.

Yep, me too, especially for Shadow. It's also a great help to have visuals for the Subreality Cafe

So, this should be interesting...mainly b/c I know who none of these people are bar one (and maybe one other, I'm not entirely sure...) I do have pictures, though! This is Camryn (brown hair and green eyes): This guy looks pretty much like I imagine Camryn to...except Camryn has greener eyes than he does (again, I just found him on Google, so.. ) This is Elaine (blond hair/gray eyes): Apparently this is Chloe Grace Moretz (according to the link I copied), but this is EXACTLY how I see Elaine. This is Mattathias (blond hair/blue eyes): He's got a bit blonder hair than I see Mattathias with, but this is pretty exact as well! This is Jendrome (blond hair/blue eyes): Apologies that it's so much smaller than the others...I couldn't find the original picture on Google, since I don't know who she is...but this is basically how I see Jendrome, except a bit younger! This is Drew: Without a doubt, this is EXACTLY what Drew looks like. This is a perfect picture of Drew. I actually have two pictures for Nathaniel (since 1 doesn't have a main trait of his...)...I'll explain! These are Nathaniel (brown hair/dark brown eyes): This is a really good likeness of Nathaniel, except it doesn't really have the long hair/slight beard he does... This does, though! So, basically, just combine the first guy with GOT's Jon Snow (again, Chief, never seen more than some clips), and you have Nathaniel! Hopefully this helps any of you who have read my stuff!

Ok, I'm currently (well, not currently currently, since I have to get ready for work) pic-hunting for my sci fi thing... story... novel... thing, but I have a really hard time finding people that match my character concepts so far. So what search terms did you enter/what sites did you use to find your character pics? I really need some help here... Also, a pic of badass!Virdon in my next story, The Interrogation:

This is Dr. Zira from the original movie. She was the inspiration for Zana, so I'll use her picture:

I dug around a fair bit to come up with my casting list, with lots of help from a friend. I reckon if you search up actors/tresses with a defining physical trait your character has, you'll be able to narrow down a fair bit. That said, casting lists are pretty helpful. If not just put in physical traits as key words into Google Images. Still works.

I pretty much just used Google Images, and typed in the physical characteristics I wanted the characters to have. I haven't searched for Cohen or Athena yet, but I should probably do that soon...

Guys, Literally all of your characters look exactly how I imagined. ChiefyI'M GLAD I WASN'T CRAZY PICTURING JEFF BRIDGES IN THAT ROLE. I couldn't shake that. xD Shadow and Val are such hotties ughhhh. @holly Justin is PERF *__* I've actually been trying NOT to choose actors so much as to use drawings for my character models this time, lol. So: Cistine Thorne Quill Maleck Tati Ariadne (technically this is Mulan but it fits SO WELL)
