My Novel: The Main Characters

I know that I've mentioned the fact that I am writing a novel (on Chapter 11 as we speak) and that it'll never be published due to its originality and intellectual depth, but I haven't really talked about it, besides the occassional character profile.

This novel will focuses on the heroines: Sara and Zoey. Sara's the only survivor from an alternate universe, and while her looks can be deceiving, she's one hundred percent alien. Inside of her is a shard of a reality-altering crystal from the Nexus of Realities, which she hestitates to use for fear of turning into her mentor, a power-crazy madman who ended up destroying her universe. The crystal also prevents her from dying, though Sara doesn't seem to know why it wants to keep her alive.

Sara lives on the planet Nagosti (silent "t") and wears a tegarei, a symbotic material that acts as a second skin. She also holds the title of Ambassador of Harmony, basically a intergalactic negotiator. She is usually in tune with her surroundings, and avoids talking about her past. Due to an unfortunate incident in the past, Sara does not like to go to Earth, especially the 26th Century when the incident occured, and despises a human named Bert Falconer, who plays a big part in the novel.

Zoey Walker's a twentysomething girl from the twentysomething century. She ran with a gang of hackers and ended up on Mars to participate in an illegal experiment, in which Zoey was the only survivor. Now, Zoey can "tele-hack," interfacing with software without any hardware. (She can read and manipulate data and primative systems with her mind.)

Zoey met Sara some time after, wandering the streets of Mars. Sara immediately offered to take her in, knowing a little about what it's like to be alone. At the time of the novel, they've only known each other for about a month, and Zoey still hasn't learned a lot about Sara, despite her constant questioning.

They live in the Machine, a mysterious relic of unknown origins. It exists on a parallel dimension outside of time and space. While Zoey suspects that it was created by Sara's mentor, this has not been confirmed.
