Co-Pilots! Conceptual ones, anyway. On the left is Vega, Vognaut’s co-pilot. On the right is Ruffayette (like Lafayette), Numnaut’s co-pilot. Personalities are currently in development, but for the moment:
Vega is stoic, very cunning and logical, preferring to stick to facts than make theories and isn’t afraid of getting her paws dirty (but if given the choice would definitely prefer not to). She and Vognaut were thick as thieves, and when she died (I think that’s what happened to her), Vognaut was devastated. He swore to never get another co-pilot as long as he called himself an Astronaut and keeps a picture of her in his chest-pocket. She loved swimming but hated cherries.
Ruffayette is very “go with the flow”, and often gets lost in thought daydreaming. A hidden side to them is their nihilistic nature, and not much scares or troubles them because of that except for the sound of thunder. Numnaut dyes their wool various colors a lot and it’s fun for both of them. They loathe getting wet and love eating, and they’re up for giving anything a try. Their current status is unknown.
Feel free to tell me if they did have official names/designs, but even if they do, I have to admit to a bias to preferring these ones...
