These are a pair of characters from an ongoing..."story"? of mine.

What do you call it when you have characters that move between vague situations in a universe of your creation that evolve over time as you grow as a person that hasn't had a plot-based product made yet? A "Story"? A "Universe"? An "Eigenphantasien"?

<description>
In a brief respite between star-battles, scientific discovery and diplomatic intrigue, two friends share a moment of wonder at the cosmos.

Faberge, the captain, gets teary-eyed as she finds her native Earth in the unfamiliar constellations. Jasper, her tactical officer and proud Nikzig*, has never been to Earth.

Though they started out as antagonists, Faberge and Jasper formed an uneasy alliance and then a lasting friendship, all starting with a single shared moment looking at the stars. It's been their custom to repeat that moment on each planet they visit.
