Introducing the gold polycule, crew of the starship Kallisti. The relationship started with Orrell realizing Susan and Milo were crushing on each other and bullying them into dating. They decided to include Orrell in their relationship after realizing he was doing it because liked them. Later the three met Adisa and Patch and they joined too. Recently Orchid and Spearmint joined as well. Orchid says he's still mulling it over but he only says that because he likes being wooed.
Spearmint is Orchid's loyal guard. Her last orders before they fell into a wormhole were to protect him and she's never getting more so she's going to follow them forever. He appreciates her loyalty and enjoys bossing her around since he's roughly equivalent to a prince and she's a knight.
Orrell and Spearmint are dating. He was the most helpful in soothing her grief at losing her ability to go home.
Orchid and Milo are fwb. Milo has been helpful with the health problems Orchid has been experiencing since leaving his planet.
While the whole ship is courting Orchid and, to a lesser extent, Spearmint, Susan and Orrell are the most successful at it by taking charge. Susan corners him every once in a while to make out (he's into it) and Orrell gets him to bow as the highest ranking person on the ship.
Patch likes taking orders and helping out so Orchid's bossiness is fun for him.
Susan and Adisa are both religious about the same pantheon. They worship different gods within the pantheon but they still share a mutual understanding about it. Susan had a lot of awe when they first met because Adisa is an emissary while she's just a regular worshiper but the hero worship tapered off as the two got to know each other. Susan still looks to Adisa as a superior in the hierarchy but they know each other as people now, rather than by reputation.
Patch is Orrell's second in command. He's good at organizing the crew to follow their captain's orders. They respect each other and appreciate the help in furthering their shared goals.
Outside the polycule: Adisa is Ilnas's emissary, Susan worships Look and Leap, they all have friends and the like
