mars is american, specifically from georgia. he’s not very attached to that background, and he’s lived in manchester england for almost two decades now. his accent is some kind of mixture of the two by now, most americans assume he’s british but brits can tell he’s american, that type of deal.

rachel is half-brazilian on her mother’s side, half-british on her father’s. she’s lived in liverpool basically all their life, but still regularly visits brazil and is fluent in portuguese. their identity as a mixed latino is important to them, and has affected her life mostly in childhood.

samis is non-human, but technically japanese because the specific genre of fear they feed on existed most primarily in japan in the form of hikikomoris after the second world war. they don’t exactly “live” anywhere, but the first place they existed in was yokohama, when enough of that specific fear had accumulated. it’s unknown why they appeared there specifically. maybe they just liked being close to the sea. they can speak any language they want, but they have a certain level of attachment to the japanese language.
