Arlen is an alien from my Crew X setting, and a member of the main crew. He's a business major in training, though he's not quite sure that what he wants to do with his life.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ NAME: Arlen of Myah ALIASES: N/A SPECIES: Usually called "Rockhoppers" or "Fishbirds" by those who don't speak the native tongue. PRONOUNS: He/Him

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ HISTORY Arlen is an alien hailing from a large, oceanic planet known as "RC-1854" in the general database, though those more familiar with it call it "Rock". He was born into an extremely wealthy and well known family, and is currently their only child. Because of this, he was "encouraged" to be as successful as his parents, who put him into only the best education with plans on him becoming a successful business owner and to one day take over his parent's empire, which consisted of several clothing and electronics brands. Though his parents were not abusive, they refused to take no for an answer ("Because we love you and want to see you succeed!"), and he ended up being too much of a pushover to say no when they sent him on a business trip with one of their shareholders to a small, artificial planet to observe deal-making in action. That is where he accidentally ran into a human, osimian, faenae and two frillnecks who ended up roping them into accidentally escaping with a harbored fugitive; and until they can figure it out, he remains on the run with the rest of the crew, providing most of their funds out of his own generous allowance.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ PERSONALITY As it turned out, being raised by parents who didn't take no for an answer and expected only the best puts a strain on any child that last until adulthood, leaving Arlen a good deal anxious, and a large deal dependent on others. Many would describe him as a pushover, who prefers to keep his mouth shut than attempt to defend himself- mostly because he really doesn't know how. In fact, he just doesn't know a lot of things about general, "normal" things, as he was raised mostly sheltered in higher-class sectors. That isn't to say he's stupid, however. Though anxious, he knows his way around social situations well, able to stuff down his fear when he puts on his 'rich boy' mask, smooth talking his way through social situations and numbers with a grace most people would be envious of... though afterwards he often collapses into a shaky mess. Perhaps, if he hadn't been raised so strictly, he might have been a rebellious, independent, even sassy rockhopper, as there are rarely times when it will slip out- and maybe one day he might still. But for now, he remains rather timid and eager to please.

Sol is an alien from my Crew X setting, and a member of the main crew. They specialize coding and computer repair.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ NAME: Sol A-Vixsha ALIASES: Sol, Sun, Sunny SPECIES: Usually called "XB Crawlers", "Frillsnakes", or "Frillnecks" by those who don't speak the native tongue. PRONOUNS: They/them and He/Him

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ HISTORY Sol is an alien hailing from a small planet dubbed "XB-8570" in the general database, with the true name unable to be typed in human letters. They were raised to a well off faily in the Eastern part of the Xgyro continent, and was close childhood friends with Pettralius, another sapient species from the same planet. Pett's species are closely related- often still called "Frillnecks" by other species since they don't bother to distinguish the two species, or if there's an effort made, "Short Frillnecks" or "Frillhorses". Despite the fact that those who aren't familiar with their species might not make the distinction, on-planet, there is heavy bias against Frillsnakes by their cousins. Both Sol and Pett were interested in advanced technological subjects, but Sol ended up being denied into the same program as Pett on account of this bias. Fed up with it, they both decided to pool funds and try to seek education off-planet. That is where they accidentally ran into a human, osimian, fishbird, and faenae who ended up roping them into accidetnally escaping with a harbored fugitive; and until they can figure it out, they remain on the run with the rest of the crew.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ PERSONALITY Sol is what many people would call a "gentle giant". They're well-meaning and kind, always thinking about those that they care about. They don't talk much, and when they do, it's generally slow and carefully spoken. However, they're no pushover. While he tries to be civil at the beginning of any conversation, if pushed enough, Sol isn't afraid to speak their mind and give you a good telling-off. Still, even more rarely does he escalate to physical violence... normally, at his size, a good threat display is enough to send the other packing. Unless, of course, one of their friends is truly threatened. Though kind to everyone, Sol is most protective of their friends- often called the "mom" of the group. Being the largest of the crew, they take it as their responsibility to make sure everyone is safe and cared for... sometimes even letting some of the smaller crew members on for a ride.

Pettralius is an alien from my Crew X setting, and a member of the main crew. They specialize in weapons and weapon repair.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

NAME: Pettralius Kix Vaxhavastion ALIASES: Pett, Petty, the scary one SPECIES: Usually called "XB Runners", "Frillhorses", or "Frillnecks" by those who don't speak the native tongue. PRONOUNS: Any

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ HISTORY Pettralius is an alien hailing from a small planet dubbed "XB-8570" in the general database, with the true name unable to be typed in human letters. They were raised to a rather fancy family in the Eastern part of the Xgyro continent, and was close childhood friends with Sol, another sapient species from the same planet. Sol's species are closely related- often still called "Frillnecks" by other species since they don't bother to distinguish the two species, or if there's an effort made, "Long Frillnecks" or "Frillsnakes". Despite the fact that those who aren't familiar with their species might not make the distinction, on-planet, there is heavy bias against Frillsnakes by their cousins. Both Sol and Pett were interested in advanced technological subjects, but Sol ended up being denied into the same program as Pett on account of this bias. Fed up with it, they both decided to pool funds and try to seek education off-planet. That is where they accidentally ran into a human, osimian, fishbird, and faenae who ended up roping them into accidetnally escaping with a harbored fugitive; and until they can figure it out, they remain on the run with the rest of the crew.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ PERSONALITY Pett, despite their often cute and googly-eyed appearance, is a serious, take-no-bullshit kind of person. She often comes off as rough or abrasive, not afraid to speak her mind and make her opinion known. She's quick with her wit and quick with her tongue and guns alike, and isn't afraid to use them. Unlike some other members of the crew, she's perfectly fine with defending herself with weapons as opposed to words- though maybe it's just because it's her specialty. Though technically lacking the full degree due to the current drama, Pett is a masterful weapons and mechanical technician, who had hoped to work on a ship like this one day- though perhaps not quite in this situation. You can usually find her tinkering away at the weapons system onboard the ship, her own personal collection of guns and other such devices, and other various machines onboard the ship. However, despite his often mean-appearing demeanor, he's not truly mean on the inside- he truly does care about others, even if he has difficulty showing it. Just because he's only visibly soft with Sol doesn't mean he doesn't have little ways of showing affection to the rest of his crew. If you find yourself getting a custom-built taser thrust into your hands on account of "you need SOMETHING to to keep yourself from dying, as tough as it might be for you."... that's not an insult, that's a declaration of friendship.

Cecil is an alien from my Crew X setting, and a member of the main crew. They specialize in negotiations and medical knowledge.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ NAME: Cecil ALIASES: Cee, Cici SPECIES: Osimian, "Sea lemur" PRONOUNS: She/her

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ HISTORY Cecil was raised in a large troop on her home planet known in the universal database as "DI-3857", though it's called "Osi" by it's inhabitants. However, instead of staying with the family as she was expected, she decided to leave planet to pursue an extensive training opportunity to help fun her medical degree; though she promised to come back afterwards. However, that is where she accidentally ran into a human, two frillnecks, a fishbird, and a faenae who ended up roping them into accidentally escaping with a harbored fugitive; and until they can figure it out, she remains on the run with the rest of the crew.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ PERSONALITY She's very homesick and sweet but also a bit of a troublemaker. Likes to ride around on everyone else's shoulders. Hates being too small to do things.

Nash is a human from my Crew X setting, and a member of the main crew.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ NAME: Nash Fletcher-Davis ALIASES: N/A SPECIES: Human PRONOUNS: She/her and they/them

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ HISTORY Nash is a human hailing from a small, artificial planet dubbed "AX-4443" in the general database, though it's more commonly known as Prospire. The locals often call it "the onion" or the "scrapyard" due to the lower gravity and artificial core allowing the planet to be composed of several inhabitable 'layers'. Due to it's proximity to a nearby human-colonized planet and the oxygenated atmosphere, it's mainly populated by working-class humans and a variety of other oxygen breathing species. Born into a mid-lower class family on-planet, it's almost all she's known. She lived with two roommates, working part time mechanic for the buses and other vehicles that populate layer two, and part-time delivery person for when the vehicles are down, or to get to another layer. It was on one of her deliveries that she accidentally ran into an osimian, fishbird, and two frillnecks who ended up roping them into accidentally escaping with a harbored faenae fugitive; and until they can figure it out, they remain on the run with the rest of the crew.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ PERSONALITY Nash can, in summary be described as "Chill, but..." by most who know her. She's a good person who's very adaptable and go with the flow, has a level head, and quick thinking. Overall, she's generally pretty sensible... except for her adventurous streak. Despite being rational, she has a habit of seeking out danger and thrills, and loves anything that gives her a decent rush of adrenaline. These two features combined make her the perfect person to go to if you need help of any kind, and she rarely will turn it down, even if the task is dangerous. She cares about people, and is willing to put herself at risk for them, even if she doesn't know them. Firmly believes in everyone deserving a chance.
