Wes is the main character of Who We Are Now. After wandering the wasteland of what the world has become, he's stopped at a settlement called Home. There, he meets four men who, like him, are suffering. Wes is haunted by the ghosts of his past, the friends and family that he'll never see again, and the terrible actions he's had to take to survive. He's looking for something in Home, though he's not sure what. Maybe along the way he'll find a way to ease his hurt spirit. Perhaps he'll even fall in love, if such a thing is possible after the apocalypse.

Jesse had it all: fame, money, looks. His future looked bright and full of opportunity. When the bombs fell, that all ended. A few years after the apocalypse, Jesse ran into a group of bandits. They attacked him, shattering his arm and scarring his face. He was found and brought back to Home. With limited medical resources, however, in the end Jesse's arm had to be amputated to save him. Since that day, Elder Mohra allowed Jesse to live in Home. He mostly keeps to himself, worrying that others will judge or look down on him. Mostly, Jesse mourns what could have been and the life he could have had. Recently, he has been seen less and less, preferring to stay in his house, away from the rest of the town. Mohra worries about him, and hopes that Wes can somehow help Jesse find happiness again.

Nathan has had a strange rollercoaster of a life, even before the world ended. Married at 18 to his best friend to keep their family out of their hair, they stayed together for two years. They stuck together after the apocalypse, until they came to Home. One morning, he awoke to find they were gone. Instead, there was a note saying they were leaving...and Nathan was not. Since then, he's realized that he hasn't had much time to figure out who he really is without a partner. Since then, he's come out as bi and tried to start relationships with people of all genders. Every time he thinks he's found someone, though, his mind drifts back to the partner that disappeared without a trace...

Slightly older than the rest, Ray was fresh out of college when the world ended. He was all set to start his career as a game designer when his future was ripped out from under him. He spends most of his time in Home tinkering with odd bits of machinery and electronics he finds. He tries to keep a happy demeanor, but it's easy to tell that there is something upsetting him, something he isn't willing to tell anyone. Mohra thinks this secret is eating him up inside, and she hopes Wes can help Ray come to grips with what he's lost.

Xander is the youngest of the love interests; he was only a teenager in high school when the bombs fell. A decade later and he's been too busy trying to survive to learn how to grow up. Worse yet, since the apocalypse, he's changed. Whether it was through radiation or something else, Xander can somehow control electricity. Well, "control" is a strong word. At times, he loses control of it and becomes a weapon of incredible destruction. Others fear and ostracize him, and he remains in Home only because of Elder Mohra. He needs someone that will try to understand him, powers and all. Maybe Wes can do that?
