Welcome Guests!

Grandpa Gustav

The visionary founder and a good spirit of Hotel Galactic. Once at the helm of a thriving business, his success came to a bitter end when GPC stepped in, leaving him bankrupt and bound to the ruins of his dream. Unlike the other employees, he cannot be directly controlled, instead he drifts around performing odd tasks, unintentionally becoming a guest attraction. Patiently waiting to be freed from his service after restoring his beloved Hotel.

Maklo

A seasoned and passionate chef with a rich history at the hotel. Once a wandering culinary explorer, he was Gustav’s first hire and quickly became both a talented cook and a lifelong friend. Though experienced, Maklo is worn down by age and past mistakes, particularly his old gambling debt, which Gustav helped him overcome. Deeply invested in the Hotel’s future, he assists new players in developing the hotel’s kitchen. He despises the GPC for polluting his home planet and never misses a chance to voice it. When frustrated, he puffs his pipe to keep his mojo balanced.

Sparn

A young, energetic, and clumsy baggage handler with dreams of becoming a great adventurer. Unlike his father, Tukyuk, he values speed over precision, often rushing through tasks and making mistakes along the way. He has a keen eye for valuable objects, frequently uncovering hidden coins and raw materials. However, his recklessness leads to frequent stumbles, dropped luggage, and poor handling of picky guests. Sparn rejects his father’s strict traditionalism and prefers to carve his own path, even if it means making a mess in the process.

Tukyuk

An exceptionally skilled and dignified waiter, deeply rooted in Derret traditions. A longtime acquaintance of Gustav, he works at the hotel not for the salary but to teach his son, Sparn, the value of hard work and humility. Known for his flawless memory and unmatched customer service, he can soothe even the most impatient guests. Tukyuk is calm, wise, and unwavering in his beliefs, often struggling to accept his son's modern outlook. When not busy, he meticulously polishes tableware and ensures every detail of the dining area reflects the hotel's former glory.

Captain Marietta

The fearless captain of the Crouching Lion, ferrying travelers across the cosmos and delivering new guests to Hotel Galactic every dawn. Known as Pouncy Paw among her crew, she sails the starry skies each night, embracing a life of adventure and freedom. But whispers follow in her wake — stories of past ties, choices left behind, and the weight of something unresolved. Some say she’s running from something. Others believe she’s biding her time. Whatever the truth, even Marietta isn’t sure if she’s destined to keep sailing or if the past she’s tried to outrun will finally catch up to her.

Felicia

Felicia is a resilient, intelligent elderly taxi driver with a deep passion for sociology, shaped by a turbulent past marked by love, loss, and personal sacrifice. Once deeply connected to Gustav, whose dreams of a hotel that bridged worlds reflects her own views. She now drives across the galaxy, holding onto memories of their shared aspirations. While she’s warm and engaging with passengers, Felicia’s pride and unresolved grief over Gustav’s death and betrayal make her fiercely guarded when it comes to her own emotions.

Silver & Knuckles

A charismatic merchant duo supplying Hotel Galactic with goods and rare resources. Silver, a stylish and unpredictable trader, charms with both deals and stories, while his eager partner Knuckles handles the more physical parts of the trade with boundless curiosity and loyalty. Their bond, built on trust and shared adventures, makes them both valuable allies and an entertaining presence at the hotel.

Captain Mogumo

Born into a family of renowned navigators and explorers. Every Sunday he arrives to bring new prospective employees to our hotel. Charismatic, quirky, and lovable, he's known for his adventurous past and remarkable knack for scouting talent. However, his memory can be a bit unreliable, often requiring his loyal seagull companion, Gulliver, to step in and set the record straight. Friendly, outgoing, and eccentric, he is beloved by the employees he recruits.
