This is an updated (and in the works) version of a story I made in 2020, so some things will be changed from the previous version. Especially designs and story elements.

(Original Design Attached) Age: 24 Pronouns: He/Him Sexuality: Bi Species: Human Home: Earth (America) Personality (Generally): Confident, egotistical, easily irritated, daring. -- 1/4 of his face and the bottom half of his body (waist down) was destroyed in an accident leaving him with robotic limbs.

------ BACKSTORY ------ -Fletch was born to a 1st class wealthy family. He lived only with his father, who worked for the government when he was born. >His father was busy, and even when he was around, he was distant. This left him with attention-seeking tendencies. >Eventually his father was fired from his government job, and decided to become a spacecraft piolet for money.

(^^ In this universe spacecrafts are small and compartmentalized ie; cars. They're not available to the general public but a spacecraft pilot would be adjacent to something like a truck driver.)

>When Fletch was 15 he snuck out and attempted to fly the spacecraft that his father stored in their garage. >Obviously, this ended horribly, and it ended in a gruesome crash that ended up with the entire lower half of his body, and 1/4 of his face being unsalvageable.

> His father despised him after this, or at least it seemed that way from Fletch's perspective, so he decided he'd keep his distance from his father. And his father never argued. > Despite the horrible accident Fletch had always dreamed of piloting a spacecraft, but not one like the one his father did. A big one with a crew that would travel lightyears. So he decided that when he graduated that's what he'd do.

> He worked extremely hard in his college courses and by the time it had ended he was in the top 20 of his class. >This meant he had the option to be a more "government-operated" pilot, exactly what he'd wanted. > In this job he'd (to put it simply) be seeking out new planets that had yet to be examined and/or conquered by Earth and research the resources and life on the planet. (TLDR; he'd look for what Earth could steal from poor and undeveloped planets)

>Fletch doesn't have a very high moral standing so he was ecstatic and took the job with no hesitation. > When he was assigned his ship he was only given one crew mate, since it was his first mission. This crewmate was named Usman. ((and the rest is story that will be continued somewhere down there VV))

(Original Design Attached) Age: 25 Pronouns: He/him Sexuality: unspecified Species: Human Home: Earth (America) Personality (General): Responsible, intelligent, easily distressed, untrusting --

-------- BACKSTORY ------- >Usman was born to a middle-class family in a small farming suburb. >His mother was a nurse and his father stayed home, often working odd jobs around town. His father was interested in engineering and passed that interest into his son, teaching Usman about cars, airships, and spacecrafts. >Usman loved engineering and wanted to make his father proud, so it wasn't difficult for him to realize what he wanted to do with his life and was quickly accepted into a prestigious spacecraft engineering program.

> Usman had never liked to hear about what the government did to other planets, he felt it was morally unacceptable. But once he had graduated and was offered a job on a government-operated spacecraft he accepted the offer, with pressure from his parents. > Needless to say, Usman disliked Fletch from the very beginning. Fletch seemed to have no shame about their job and had a borderline disturbing amount of excitement about the matter. Despite this, Usman tolerated him. After all, he wasn't the worst pilot he'd ever met.

((and that's all the backstory until we get to the main story which will be continued somewhere down there VV))

(Original Design Attached) Age: 20 Pronouns: He/Him Sexuality: Unspecified Species: Alien ~Unnamed species~ Personality (General): Irritable, shy, jumpy, detail-oriented ----

--- BACKSTORY --------- >Elain's parents are the king and queen of his small remote planet, making him a prince. >His planet is very religious, and he is faithful to it. The planet is new and growing quickly. >Until Fletch and Usman show up his life is peaceful, he's invested in his studies and much more skeptical than the rest on his planet.

((The rest is story tht will be continued somewhere down there)) VV

(Original Deign Attached) Age: 21 Pronouns: He/They Sexuality: Bisexual Species: Human Home: Earth (Philippines) Personality (General) Calm, Intelligent, Clever

----- BACKSTORY ------ >Dale's parents were humans who lived on Earth, more specifically the Philippines in a small rural area. >One day they were on a date at a drive-in when they were abducted by aliens that took them back to their small but technologically developed planet. >This had been the first abduction ever done by this alien species, so it was very experimental in nature. The scientists in charge were VERY interested in doing invasive experiments on them and keeping them captive, but the citizens were not so keen on that idea.

>Eventually there were enough of them protesting the experimentation on Dale's parents that the government realized that they simply would not be able to allow the experimentation to go on. >So they decided that they'd make a deal. If the human's they'd captured could produce a child that could properly acclimate to the planet and learn the language, then that would be proof that humans were intelligent enough that experimentation would be immoral.

>Dale was the child of these two humans, and he excelled above anyone's expectations. He was very interested in the technology of the planet and the different dialects of different planets. He loved inventing things and wanted to explore. >Despite this he was still looked down upon by his peers because he was human. ((Rest will be continued on the main story which will be continued somewhere down there VV))
