It's Sev Simms! Reluctant leader, part time good boy and (simulated) combat expert! Sev is thirty years old, 183cm tall and he's a lil bit buff!

Sev has never been to the Lyreca homeworld, having been born on a ship travelling to the human colony of Sanctera. His Mother died shortly after his birth, so Sev was adopted by a couple of human doctors and raised on Sanctera. Ostracized from his own culture by the sheer distance of space, yet never entirely fitting into human culture, Sev ended up quite content being a loner.

Sev worked for an arms manufacturer for over a decade, in their life-like combat simulator division. Initially employed for his computer skills, Sev found himself testing or otherwise taking part in training simulations for most of his working day. While in real life he's only done a couple of months of basic training, Sev has logged thousands of hours in the most advanced combat simulators that money can buy! The closest thing to an experienced starship commander, assuming there is no one with actual experience around!

In essence, he is skilled, but is he experienced???

Much to his horror, circumstances force Sev to take a command role on a combat ship, where Skye, Kat and Ash absolutely torment this poor boy!

Sev is a nice and friendly boy, with a pleasant personality and eagerness to please, he's friends with pretty much everyone and anyone! He identifies as bi.

Sev's interests include videogames, movies, cooking and going on real long walks.

Woah! It's Skye, Sev, Kat and Ash! The crew of a ship named "Sanctera's Fury" (I'll do a writeup on the ship later!)

Skye is the ship's extremely talented pilot!

Sev is in command, but also has extensive computer and tech skills!

Kat is something of a super-soldier, living weapon, murder machine... but she's also the ship's specialist in starship gunnery!

Ash is a natural born mechanic and the ship's engineer!

They are Lyreca! Wolf-like Humanoid aliens from the Lyre system!

Lyreca were influenced by an alien race colloquially referred to only as "Precursors", as we don't know who they were or what they looked like, but we do know they genetically engineered the entire Lyreca race roughly fourteen thousand years ago into the cool, soft friends we see today! As well as seeding various Lyreca cultures with similar iconography and values, for reasons unknown.

Adult Lyreca males typically range from 5-6 feet in height, whilst Adult Lyreca females range on average from 6.5-7.5 feet in height! In general, Lyreca women are bigger and stronger than Lyreca men. For reference, the average Lyreca male is marginally stronger, but of a similar size, to the average human male.

(I'll do a further post on Lyreca later!)

I hope you like this lore post and my further lore posts on this story/setting I've been working on! Next up I'll post a bit about Skye as she's clearly the most popular, I wonder why...
