Any specs for who the characters should be or what characteristics they should exhibit via dialogue beyond pro-cryo/not-yet-pro-cryo?
Edit: In particular, to what extent should I be leaning on storyish tropes? e.g. "Remember that time when [allegorical event] happened? You did [sensible thing] which is analogous to cryo!" I know fiction writing, but I'm not versed in the ways of marketing...
