Character structure and summaries

Avalance, Sara and Ava

• A mature anchor couple around Part 3.
• In project canon, before Day Zero, Sara and Ava are already married. They do not begin as new romantic tension, but as a married couple and leadership partners whom the world tests again.
• Before the collapse, the Waverider is a mobile home and gray-area help team, similar in spirit to a biker group with a huge vehicle, helping people who ask for help, sometimes for a little money, sometimes for free.
• Sara comes from the military and private security companies. Ava comes from the FBI and from field management and structure. Nate worked with Ava, but in the field. Astra managed private security and knew Sara from there. Gideon is a living expert hacker, not a computer system, who also does side gigs and enjoys helping. Ray is a millionaire who wants to help and joins with resources and repairs. Nora is a hospital nurse. Spooner is a champion of end-of-world and science fiction theories who joined because she wanted to help people.
• In Chapters 61 to 64, they must not be thrown straight into survival. The Waverider must be seen as home and team before the collapse, Day Zero through radio and global reports, the attempt to understand whether they have families to return to, and then the choice to turn movement into help, not only flight.
• Sara: movement, danger, missions.
• Ava: order, protocol, sanitation, boards, and shifts.
• The Waverider is a ground vehicle / mobile home only, not a flying machine and not science fiction.
• The Waverider enters the convoy and does not replace it.
• The Legends do not all roam alive on-page throughout Part 3, and only Sara and Ava remain in the present line.
• Those who return with Gideon arrive only at the major battle stage, with a small and real reunion space, without taking over the ending.
• In Part 5, they are part of the emergency leadership core.
• In Part 6, a rescue convoy brings back to the city a brother and sister, ages 3 and 7, whose parents died two weeks earlier, and the way the older girl survived resembles an almost perfect combination of Sara and Ava. They take both children in, and that is how Ava's desire for children receives payoff through chosen parenting and adoption.
