The Terra Alpha Audio Drama [MAIN CAST]
Richard Gibson for Daniel Mitchell

Voice Type:
Warm, earnest, and inquisitive. Daniel speaks with an energetic enthusiasm, his voice often carrying an undercurrent of curiosity and quiet determination. While generally optimistic, his tone can shift to quiet frustration when discussing corporate greed or environmental destruction. His youth and idealism are evident in his speech, but there’s a deep-seated sorrow beneath it, a quiet longing for the family he was forced to leave behind.
Character Summary:
Daniel Mitchell is a young agricultural scientist with a passion for sustainable farming and a fierce determination to prove himself. Born into a family of researchers who were blacklisted by Agrasill Industries, he carries a deep mistrust of corporate control over food production. His groundbreaking soil reconditioning methods made him a threat to Agrasill, leading to his forced exile aboard Terra Alpha. Now, as part of the ARC Project, he is tasked with developing agricultural systems on Siren, ensuring that the colony can thrive independently. Though brilliant, Daniel is still young, grappling with the weight of his responsibilities and the pain of leaving his family behind. He’s hopeful, but not naïve—he knows the stakes and refuses to let his work be controlled by the same forces that ruined his family’s life.

(Excited, explaining his work) “You see this? This soil was dead—completely lifeless! But with the right microbial blend and a little patience, we can rebuild it from the ground up. Give me a few months, and we’ll be growing real food here, not just protein rations.”
(Frustrated but controlled, pushing back against authority) “I didn’t come all this way just to watch another corporation decide who gets to eat. We have a chance to do something different here—to build something that doesn’t belong to them. And I’m not going to let that slip away.”
(Quiet, vulnerable, speaking to himself while holding a sentimental object) “…I promised I’d grow something beautiful. For you. I just hope I get the chance.”
