Nihil Haneumann and the Nameless Apostate have a lot in common
fantasy AU where Paskal is the young, newly-crowned warrior king with grand dreams, Abel his beloved elder brother who abdicated the throne to become court mage, Nihil his chancellor, Axiomantha and Audacia his ministers, Tarzus the general of his armies and Demetz his spymaster
as it is unclear if Nihil donned a brass mask before or after he became an Inquisitorial acolyte, have a faceless Nihil

many explorators expect to die on the endless mission. the Haneumann siblings were not an exception.

what if the creation of Nomos had a more... conventional outcome?
Amarnat as science ship crew: roles
working from the perspective of Stellaris
Paskal is team leader, and first on any away team. his axe has slain many novel space lifeforms. also deals in navigation and course-charting. cannot reveal at the time how often he gets to talk to aliens
Axiomantha is second in command, much less likely to be on an away team. her grasp of scientific knowledge is the widest, but she specializes in society research. liable to take the lead on archaeological digs and in deciphering heterofore-unknown alien languages
Audacia, who would have become Axiomantha's second body, is the crew's engineering specialist and in charge of keeping the instruments they need for exploration intact, promptly replaced and upgraded. unlike Axiomantha, very willing to enter combat [perhaps she feels her sister's smarter, and is trying to distinguish herself from her?]
Abel specializes in physics, and designs the ship's cybersecurity measures. he is the member who does not get on away teams unless safety is quite assured
Demetz operates the ship's comms and logs messages and discoveries. he's the guy to ask if something needs to be done 'off the record'. also busy anticipating threats and foolproofing the ship [the latter an unending effort, as these fools are very inventive]
Nihil maintains the ship. his is to repair, upgrade, retrofit. he is also the assistant in any scientific endeavor, not learned enough to be the specialist himself, and unofficial person to argue points to: he checks over Xio, Audie and Abel's conclusions. additionally, Nihil is frequently on away teams [if he gets the same burn injury and gets benched for a while, his mates may rue his absence while wading through a swamp on xenogeological missions]
Tarzus would be the political officer in a more tyrannical space polity. aside or without that, he's the quartermaster and in charge of repairing equipment. interested in fighting stuff.

in a seemingly-happier world, the Amarnat is a science ship, and the Haneumann siblings its crew.
