Where do your MCs fall, on a scale of timid to recklessly brave?

Is that a scale slider I don't know

Their bravery depends entirely on circumstances.

Kira is the acting captain, reckless behavior is not a favorite trait of the brass, that said saving others needs a good amount of self esteem & skill as much as to dare to do so.
So it completely depends on the situation at stakes.

Arkham as the Flight Commander is bound to bring home the ship & the crew safely, but has a very hot head approach to problems that can be fixed with a intelligent moves at the right time & she is very passionate about her principles. That said she also wouldn't risk the ship or the crew without reason & consent.

About Ashlei, AIs are not programmed to show or even have compassion. They are ment to counter risky maneuvers without an clear advantages outcome. Ideally protecting, their crews, from endangerment.

Describe the longest romantic relationship your MC has ever had. (If they’ve had one.)

Arkham & Ashlei: Nope they hadn't really. Ashlei as an AI has very limited opportunities to date. Not to mention having emotions in the first place. And Arkham simply tried sex with people she thought she liked enough and realized it's not hers, neither Sex nor Love, so she moved one quickly. We will see how that thing with Kira will end...

Kira: Her relationship with Talisa & Rose. It started in the Academy after Anika made space for Kira in that polycule and held almost 10 years despite Kira having other partners in that time too. They are still good and close friends and Talisa and Rose married as soon it was legal. And yes they where in the relationship with Kira at that point and even asked her, if she want to marry too but Kira wasn't in to that idea.

How could someone who knows your MC well console them after the last time you made them suffer?

Kira usually relied a lot on Anika for emotional stability. This has to do with the history both have with each other and how she gets through all of this, without her *Twin sister* will be a main part of the story...
And how to help? We will see too.

Arkham: One has to get through Arkham's incredibly dense defense first.

Ashlei: is not programmed to suffer or to be consolidated.

Arkham in her freetime: well basically the same as Kira but with more "vocal range."
On mission her commanding officer could put her off & order to hand in with the law enforcement.

Ashlei: now it gets juicy. AI's aren't person's only persons can commit crimes, but AI's are considered property of entities like the alliance.
It would come to the following scenario, confiscated said property. Disconnect AI from its main frame & limit its compute heavily slowing it down, should this interfere with military actions the military actions have priority, stand down til the action is solved successfully according to the leading military officer. Send AI into storage, inform AI expert & AI owner, wait for both to arrive.

Law enforcement has to make sure that the accusations are valid enough before acting on them, everything else is considered an action in bad faith & will be investigated.

⬅️ right leg didn't had any visible tattoos the other parts where covered in a long colorful pattern of vines, thorns and occasionally petals. And if course a tiny panda on her palm of her right hand.

Arkham: "Does the name SkaLi Zusamaro ring a bell? Probably not most people don't watch NIN Dramas. Well the NIN movie Jenseits von Antaris was made by SkaLi, the complete movie is in an ancient Terran language called German. Every sentence rhymes with the one two sentences ago. The story is about an old human couple from the time Terra Unika rose to power & tells us about the fears, the emotional track is devastatingly bitter sweet."

Ashlei: "'I' find 'joy' in patterns that are mathematical coherent, 'I' 'appreciate' the hexagonal dimension of antique 'earth' music like Song Two."

Share three facts about your MC with us.

Kira:
Has tattoos since she was 15 against the will of the Ice Queen (her 2. mother).

She loves cooking for others but she doesn't really enjoys eating.

Is considered 'evil' by a lot of people under her former commands because she train's before breakfast.

Arkham:
doesn't like people and social stuff.

Tinkers a lot with machinery in her free time.

Owns an old restaurant on Terra do to weird circumstances.

Ashlei:
Considers herself above other A.I.s for the simple reason she shares the memories of a Terran person.

Hides her actual capabilities from most persons outside the crew.

Was actually created to support Terrans on space missions with changing parameters but roducing a almost perfect Strawberry flavor was never intended or merging with Kira.

Describe your MC’s eyes.

Kira: Right eye green left eye violet blue.

Arkham: bright red brown that seems to get darker in certain conditions.

Ashlei ... Well she has no eyes, her 'vision' is so to different sensors, camera's and microphones in and outside, the outside sensors can have a colored light depending on distance, stealthy scan mode, etc in some instances a red light flashes from left to right or down and up (and vice versa) depending on the scan situation. The scanners are scattered amongst her outer hull and inside the ship, they are powerful enough to trace certain markers through Planetary atmosphere like a special gene combination but this costs time. In space thhe scanner "can see easily" not hidden or obscured objects in 15 - 20 AU distance.
1 Astronomical Unit = 149.597.870.700 Meters/149.597.870,7 Kilometers

Pluto is around 39,5 AU out there.

What is your MC’s country or place of origin, and where do they currently live?
Get ready it's messy

Kira: Terran, spacer, space born, colonist, colony [redacted], Alliance Fleet spacer, fleet [redacted], colonial residency.

Arkham: Terran, Terra born, colonist, colony [redacted], Alliance fleet spacer, fleet [redacted], Terran residency.

This are a lot of drawers that create a whole wardrobe of personal categories per person and the main reason is to make clear which part of the government has to pay at which point, usually citizens don't notice anything about all the beurocracy in the background, but ist marked in their ID's with more fancy numbers.

Ashlei: Alliance property.
