Papí Leonardo McClain (46) – He has one brother and two sisters. He happens to be a Canadian man with Scottish roots and became Anna's fiancé in Florida when she was studying. He moved to Cuba so he could be with her family, and he learned Spanish from Anna primarily before meeting her parents who approved of him as her boyfriend.

Mamí Anna Chavez McClain (45) – She has an older sister a younger brother. She was a biology student and went into pathology where she makes cures through all kinds of herbs and flowers. People came to her when they want herbal remedies or input to give their kids if they didn't believe in traditional medicine.

José McClain (12) – He is willing to go on all kinds of adventures and is Lou's best friend since they are both in the same grade level. The two bond over their brother's idiotic ploys, sometimes going against them, and others following them around. There are times when the dreaded acorn war will start again in the cul-de-sac they live in, where they would use acorns and slingshots, pelting each other. Hunk as neutral territory where they won't do anything with him around, and he is José's hero. He acts like a golden boy around him.

Tía Maria Chavez (53) – She's the only one in her family that didn't marry as she went to become a radiologist who works with x-rays. She helps out her aging parents with Anna and her brother. She wants to travel the world someday to hopefully meet her soulmate and get married to the person or hook up to someone who happens to love baking.

Tío Anton Chavez (43) – The youngest of the Chavez line. He happens to be an architect because ever since he was young he was fascinated with buildings. He's married and has two kids. He built his two girls a tree house when they were young, and he let them have the final input. Needless to say, his backyard was a pretty popular with the neighborhood kids.

Tía Sephina Chavez (43) – She is married to Anton. She teaches calculus to students and statistics. Her two kids, Gregory (12) and Sam (5) are two rambunctious boys who occasionally go outside to play basketball. When she's at home she loves to try to make DIY items with things lying around her house, and her boys go to her for some craft ideas.

Abuela Rosa Chavez (84) – She is a housewife and she helped take care of her grandkids. She lives with her daughter Maria because she is alone. She wants her daughter to get married and they fight constantly even though they love each other. She would often go to the McClain household and babysit Jose and Lance then she would talk to Agathe if she's home. She used to be a seamstress when she was younger, and would send commissions to people online. She does this occasionally when her grandkids are not taking up all of her time.

Abuelo Raphael Chavez (86) – He was a handyman before he retired. He lives with his daughter Maria and they bond over making his wife go crazy by doing little things that tick her off. He loves children, especially Hunk, and was the one who got him into building machines.

Melony McClain (19) – Cousin to Lance from his father's side. She lives in Colorado, but her family tries to make it to some family gatherings in Canada or Cuba where the majority of the family is at. She was there for Lance's tenth birthday, as it's important to the whole family. Most of the family came to Colorado when she turned ten, and it's a tradition in the McClain/Chavez household to either be there or send something equivalent to Skype to congratulate your niece/nephew/cousin on attaining their soul words. She takes photos that look professional, listens to alternative music, and trying to learn Spanish. Once she's mastered it she would be trilingual as she already knows Canadian-French and English. (She'll be the one speaking mainly in English)

Alphonse McClain (42) – He's Melony's dad and talks to his sisters occasionally in French, but mainly in English. He knows some Spanish, and can follow a conversation halfway through. He loves his wife Trisha, and the two would get into competitive puzzle matches and trivia games on their downtime. He happens to own a local car dealership.

Trisha McClain (39) – Melony's mom. By day she sleeps off her night shift when she was working in the psychiatric ward. On her downtime she does the Zumba and crashes in front of the TV. Whenever an emergency comes up she's there, even when sleep deprived, and she loves to tell stories to her family whenever dinner time rolls around. It's a running joke that in her family she makes breakfast.

Jade McClain Fabbro (40) – Leo's sis and she is a historian. She lives up in Colorado, and is a city away from where the McClain's live. She used to live in Michigan which is where she met her husband when she was studying before settling in the snowy north.

David Fabbro (46) – An Italian man who works in a smith, creating weapons for movies, creating pieces someone commissioned, or metal based furnishings for home goods. He loves to give his son bear hugs, and he tells corny jokes to ease the tension. He rarely yells and usually uses the whole "I'm disappointed in you" tone that makes everyone feel guilty around him.

Jon Fabbro (8) – He honestly believes he can talk to animals. Weirdly enough he has an extensive knife collection despite swearing not to use those knives to hurt animals. The kid is strange to his classmates because he knows the latest animal facts and loves math.

Sal McClain (37) – Leo's sister. She lives in a codependent household with her roommate Bailey in Canada. She's a bartender and part-time writer. She used to be a journalist before she quit that job because people were breathing down her neck and obscuring the truth. She has a blog where she posts some information she found, and occasionally posting what types of drinks are the best for any occasion.

Eli Garret – Hunk's dad Samoan. He is a clinical lab technician and his hobbies are gardening and geneology. He does geneology on the side and even shows Hunk how things are done. He makes corny jokes about how you can trace anything back, and leave enduring notes hidden in the house, and then he would forget about it. The longest recorded note was the one of the Valentine's Day notes, he made four for his family when Hunk was thirteen, but his wife forgot one. It wasn't until April of the next year did she find it in one of her books. To this day they haven't let him live it down.

Agathe Garret – Hunk's mom. She's half Greek and Spanish. She loves trying to make different food from varying cultures and she is a cultural anthropologist. Currently she's a professor, and she does write some books about the various cultures she has experienced. Occasionally she would fly out of the country, so Hunk would have to learn how to cook. She leaves him her cook books, and brings home something she thinks her family would find interesting. She's good friends with Rosa and would call her Abuella out of respect even though the woman says she shouldn't have to be reminded of her age constantly.

Cicero (18) – Lance and Hunk's childhood best friend. They are close and he aims to become a child psychologist despite what his parents warn him to do. He loves to party, builds cars as a hobby, and relax by playing his lute and sing. The three of them were in a band where Lance would play the harmonica—because he has the lung capacity—and Hunk would play the drums.

Lou (12) – Cicero's little sister. Her hobbies are drawing, learning about marine life, and causing trouble with her partner in crime José. She would try to go on any kind of adventure—often getting in trouble—and wants to be an explorer when she grows up. The next best thing is that she wants to be a marine biologist because her favorite character in a show, Water Life, is a villainous marine biologist who is pro-animals than people. She likes him because he's willing to risk his life for the animals and often times the protagonists have to save him, and they scold him for taking things too far.

Elek Kogane (45) – An archeologist who happens to have a son with Koriv, a Galran woman who came to Earth on a scouting mission for Emperor Zarkon, but in reality "accidently" repeat the resources Earth has. He has a deep fascination of understanding other's cultures, and would put together vivid images from simple things he found in the ground. He has a summer home in Arizona that he rarely uses. The longest time he stayed there was with Koriv. He tries to keep in contact with his son, but sometimes he's unable to. One day he hopes to tell his son about his mom, besides handing him the knife she gave him before going off world.

Tsunayoshi Shirogane (54) – He used to be an air force pilot before receiving an honorable discharge because he has burns on his left leg, and torso from a crash. He moved to America after the discharge to find work similar to the field he was in. He was working as a physics professor in the Garrison before quitting when his son was proclaimed dead. He is now putting his efforts into his newfound shop that sells authentic Japanese dishes his son liked or were a family favorite. Due to his son's untimely death he drew into himself, and his family abroad helped him and his wife get through their dark days.

Rin Shirogane (50) – She is a seamstress focusing on traditional Indian, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese wear. Occasionally she will make modern clothes if her employer told her to if for whatever reason one of her coworkers fall sick. Upon receiving the news of her son's "death," she gave her husband money to start his own restaurant so he will busy himself with work rather than falling into depression. They went to Kyoto for the funeral, and a few of her cousins came to America to help out her husband with the shop for a few months.

Jasmine Holt (48) – Matt and Katie's mom. She is a lawyer who handles civil disputes. She is extremely worried about her family—if everyone is really dead or Katie is just missing—and is tenacious in her belief her baby girl is still alive. However, because she hasn't received contact for over a week—her daughter is a hacker who could have found some way to contact her even though she rarely said anything while she was undercover in the Garrison—she's starting to lose hope. The grim reminder that she is alone in the world until she received a certain phone call from Mr. Shirogane.
