Norman: JUST ONCE!

Aerman: NO! Stop! They helped!

Norman: Get off me Aery! I’m not mad at them! I’m ticked at HIM!

Roman: Is it really a surprise? Our brother was swept away in the tides of passionate fear for his dearest friends! He was—

Norman: RAH!

Hartman: Norman! Really?!

Roman: You punched me! You cussin’ punched me!

Norman: I got more for ya too!

Roman: Bring it on you calloused brute!

Aerman: NOOOO!

Reman: FELLAS PLEASE!!

Hartman: Thank you Reman.

Reman: Oh no. I completely agree with Norm. I just don’t think we should be fighting each other.

Aerman: Re! Not you too!

Reman: He literally made a terrible day for our friends worse! I don’t give a damn if he’s feelin’s are cussin’ hurt or if he was scared! We have been scared for TEN YEARS and we don’t act like that!

Aerman: No. We just give him the silent treatment and make Cup deal with it by himself.

Reman: You have somethin’ ta say to me daydreamer?

Aerman: For bein’ the hero complex you’re one hell of a hypocrite! Cup wouldn’t be like this is if wasn’t for us!

Reman: That’s sure rich comin’ from the damn GAMBLER! Remind me how WE ended up in this situation?

Hartman: ENOUGH!! Enough! The whole lot of you! Ripping ourselves or Cup apart isn’t gonna do any of us any good! They helped him. Things are better. Sure, maybe it wasn’t fair to them but when the sunblazin’ hell has ANYTHIN’ been fair ta us? Get over yourselves and cussin’ focus! This city is still full of danger and our friends need us to have our head on straight! Yeah?

The others:…yeah.

Hartman: I can’t HEAR YOU!

The others: YES SIR!

Hartman: Good! We will TALK to Cuphead later.

Blake: I was about to say something, but then he looked me dead in the eyes and started speaking in a dead language, then ran off!

Ship: USS Requiem (Odyssey Class)

Captain: Maria J. Rodriguez (Human) [Afrolatina, dyed blue hair, fairly cultured and well traveled throughout the galaxy. Extremely strong sense of Justice. Pansexual. Secretly a temporal agent displaced from the mid-23rd century to the 24th century circa TNG season 2. Relaxed but professional attitude, tries to be the fun boss. Can tell corny jokes sometimes, decent ish sense of humor. Deeply committed friend.]

First Officer: Tarsi (Andorian) [Skilled combatant, close to much of the senior staff. Keeps things light with her friends, and tries to be non-intimidating with the crew, but doesn’t always succeed. She’s tall. Crackshot sniper with a phaser rifle. Enjoys visiting Earth. Always trying to make sure every away team member comes back. Has a bit of a crush on T’Met.]

Chief Science Officer: T’Met (Vulcan) [Compassionate, in a Vulcan sort of way. Enjoys learning about other cultures. Field medical training. Strong belief in the sanctity of life. Has read up on Spock and tries to embrace his methodology of embracing one’s emotions in conjunction with logic rather than in conflict with it. Wide pallet when it comes to food, can no-sell the freshest Gagh and the spiciest hasperat. Dry wit. Lesbian. Has a lirpa in her quarters should melee combat become necessary during an encounter, is training Tarsi to use it as well. Prefers Bajoran-style phasers but is willing to abide Starfleet regulations. Studied via a blended education between the Vulcan Science Academy and Starfleet Academy.]

Chief Engineer: Skavrin (Tellarite) [Grouchy. Knows what he’s doing and won’t let you forget it. Has a lot of faith in his engineering staff. Keeps to himself. Lost family in the Dominion War. Distrustful of Romulans and Cardassians, but enjoys Klingons as far as races stereotyped as enemies of the Federation go. Picky eater. Starship enthusiast.]

Chief of Security: Sa’Ruk (Kelpien) [Pre-Vahari, worrisome and fearful. Double and triple checks his work. Safety of the crew is top priority. Occasionally clashes with tactical officer Naovi]

Chief Tactical Officer: Evrosa Naovi (Betazoid) [somewhat cold, very disciplined. Uses her powers to stay one step ahead of potential enemies, refusing to be caught unawares. Skilled investigator, often coordinates with Sa’Ruk. Pansexual but not looking for a relationship at start of the series. Determined to protect the crew and ship, but has few friends. Other members of the senior staff think she could open up a bit.]

Ship’s Counselor: Arzia Jal (Joined Trill) [has lived seven past lives, uses those experiences to assist in her duties as a councilor, similar to Ezri but far more experienced. Very patient and kind, usually trying not to push peoples’ comfort zones. Willing to voice her opinions, especially when she thinks the Captain needs to hear them. Keeps a look out for everyone on the crew. Knows her way in a fight despite her non-combat role. Has a fun side when off duty. Pansexual. I swear when I flesh this character out in fics she’ll be less Dax lmao]

Chief Medical Officer: Surjan Antos (Cardassian) [Section 31 agent with his job on the crew as his cover story. Former Obsidian Order agent who had his wake-up during the Dominion War. Deeply regretful of the past actions of bimself and his people and seeks redemption through aiding the Federation, who he sees as the only galactic power with the interests of the Alpha Quadrant as a whole at heart. Extremely skilled surgeon, cordial bedside manner. Unusual methods derived from improvised measures to save dignitaries and other Order agents from assassinations. Does not want the crew to find out the truth about him because he genuinely values their friendship and doesn’t want to break their trust.]

Transporter Chief: Benn “Niko” Nikolai (Bolian, adopted by humans) [Light Russian accent. Generally amicable. Tries to keep things light, so-so comedic yield. Likes a good story.]

Armory Officer: T’Kol (Klingon) [old friends with the captain, they met during the Dominion War. The honor of his Federation allies inspired him to join Starfleet. Deeply respectful to his allies and disciplined. Keeps a personal collection of Klingon melee weapons and offers training in them to anyone willing. Enjoys sparring with Tarsi and Naovi. Often coordinates with security and tactical.]

Ops Officer: Sola Val (Bajoran) [Relatively young, saw the tail end of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. Joined the Bajoran Militia to defend her home as soon as she was old enough, and is deeply committed to that home. She was inspired to join Starfleet by the example of the Emissary. Believes in protecting as many lives as possible. While taking on more technical duties aboard the Requiem, she will volunteer for a combat mission readily. As a significant cultural item, she carries a sword with a hilt sculpted after the symbol of the Bajoran people. Extremely loyal to her friends. Despises any form of fascism but does not hate Cardassians as a race, unlike many Bajorans with lingering scars. Self sacrificial perhaps to a fault. Doesn’t go out of her way to impress the captain but is pleased when it happens.]

Helm Officer: Akira Sulu (Human) [grandson, maybe great-grandson depending on timing, of Hikaru Sulu, wishes to live up to his family’s history of piloting starships. Good guy but pressures himself a lot]

Communications Officer: Evelyn Sevea (Human) [sarcastic sense of humor. Academy friend of the captain, also a temporal agent. In her less conspicuous position she is able to dedicate more time to this in comparison, and will pull the captain aside if it’s important. Skilled at decryption and message retrieval. Studying xenolinguistics.”

Head of Astrometrics: Syzen (Saurian) [explorer at heart, loves seeing and charting the stars. Believes the Galaxy is a beautiful place and is grateful to Starfleet for being able to see it. Not much of a fighter, but a kind soul.]

Starfleet Intelligence Liaison: Kiyla VanZyl (Trill) [Friendly and casual, but guarded with information. Un-joined. Very serious when the situation calls for it. Coordinates with Admiral Tuvok. Section 31 connections. Always tries to complete the mission. Would give her life to protect the Federation.]

Morale Officer: Ch’Lex (Denobulan) [enjoys creating holodeck programs. Chipper. Good sense of humor. Great with kids, they love the funny faces. Combat trained and serious when the situation calls for it. Not afraid to speak up to the captain.

Ship’s Bartender: Ch’toh (Klingon) [he’s old and tells stories. Enjoys sharing Klingon culture with outsiders, believing they should not hide all they have to offer.]

Terrance Edwards (Terran) [he works in engineering. He fled from the mirror universe to escape the Alliance. His prime universe counterpart was on a ship assimilated by the Borg, his cover story is that he was the only survivor. He genuinely wants to serve in Starfleet, but fears if he is discovered to be otherdimensional he’ll be sent back. Eventually discovered and forced to formally request asylum, which he’s shocked to realize was an option. Uneasy around Klingons and Cardassians, which he claims his due to trauma from the brief 2370s Federation-Klingon War and the Dominion War as part of his cover. Requests medical treatment from nurses, especially uneasy around Doctor Antos. Avoids T’Kol and the ship’s bar whenever possible. Generally very nervous, but dependable. He loves replicators, and deeply enjoys the idea of never going hungry again.]

Security Personnel:

Skye Parker (Human) [Wife of the captain, white and transfem. She joined Starfleet relatively later in life than most and is thus only a Lieutenant. Protective but tries to give her wife space. Fairly casual demeanor. Good at her job but not incredibly concerned with ranking up. Sense of humor pairs well with her wife’s. Down to earth. Responsible]
