MC POV: Complete this thought: “I wish I had paid more attention when…”

"we briefly talked about Bethosian biology..." - Anika Johansen, Kira's Sister and later Captain.

I know it says MC and Anika isn't officially one but she owns a lot of space her self (on a space ship travel story... Let that sink in).

Gibt es Familienkonflikte in deiner Geschichte? Wenn ja, welcher Art?

Kira vs Ripley und Anika hängt mit drin. Anika vs Kira weil Schwestern auch mal streiten besonders wenn eine etwas nicht so sieht wie die andere, im Hinblick z.B. auf Ripley & ihr Verhalten oder wenn beide anderer Meinung über verflossene Expartner sind & den Fallout anders wegräumen wollen. In solchen Momenten hilft es auch wenig, dass die Blutlinie drölfzig Ecken hat und das genetische Band eigentlich nur so dünn ist wie 1/2 Haar. Eher das Gegenteil.

Arkham & ihre Mutter. Tot oder nicht für Abbisheek bleibt das Verhalten ihrer Mutter Unergründlich & sie hat auch nicht gerade 'gute' Gründe ihr hinterher zu trauern. Dieser schreckliche Name reicht doch schon oder?

Rose. Das schwarze Schaf ihrer Familie & gleichzeitig die beste Lösung für deren Probleme.

Wähle zwei sich nahestehende Figuren aus deiner Geschichte. Worin können sie sich am wenigsten einigen?

Kira und Anika.
Worüber sie sich in die Haare gekriegt haben? Das was in Kapitel eins und zum Teil davor passiert ist, hat größere Auswirkungen als erwartet und beide sehen den nötigen Kurs sehr unterschiedlich.

Haben deine Figuren eine Idee davon, was der "Sinn" ihres Lebens ist oder sein sollte? Wie sieht die aus, und wie weit ist sie von der Realität entfernt?

Ja denn Sinn ist etwas das Personen selbst vergeben. Alle anbord der Ghoz'Tarc wurden von Anika als Captain ausgesucht weil sie a) gute Soldaten sind, deren speziellen Fähigkeiten auf dieser Mission wahrscheinlich gebraucht werden, b) loyale Unions Vertreter die im Dienst der Union und der Allianz bewiesen haben, dass sie für die Ideale beider einstehen c) Anika bereits mit ihnen gedient hat oder d) sie Anika von Admiral Ron Hackett-Anderson persönlich empfohlen wurden weil er mit ihnen gedient hat.

In dem Sinne ist die Crew, so bunt sie persönlich auch sein, mögen eine ziemlich homogene Masse.

⬅️ onto the opportunity to join the Alliance Preparation & Education program (A.P.E.) with 14.

Arkham: Had a loving Father and a helicopter dragon mother. He always softened the blows for her and took great care that his little Star wouldn't suffer to much under the mother's draconic behavior. As he died in an Eltaryn attack Arkham's world changed dramatically, as the mother then decided to move closer to the Unions rim to avoid the Union Childcare & Social services it got only worse. With 15 she ran away and lived on the streets, something to unheard of in the core territory of the Union.

Ashlei: as an AI especially designed to support Terrans, in a combat situation and care for them long term on Alliance vessels, Ashlei had a very different 'childhood.' She is in Terran years only 6 y.o. for an A.I. this is quite a long time.

How does your MC feel about their childhood home?

1/2
Kira: it was a loving home, both biological parents (father and mother, both female) head stable part time jobs as development planers & engineers. They traveled through the saver parts of the Union, with her and her two sisters (one older, one younger). It all changed with the catastrophic event on Friendship station which only left her.
Her second family Anika, her mother the Icequeen wasn't much around as the foreign affairs minister of terra, her father was an instructor on the alliance. He worked hard to handle family and job. Both Kira and Anika where often with him, for the Cadets/other instructors they were a bit of "lucky charms."
Both suffered a lot as he died on a work related travel as he defended civilians against an Eltaryn attack force. The mother took time off but never had 'the right skills' to handle two daughters. This is why both ➡️

⬅️ They even managed to get posted together on most of their assignments and pretty much the Adams family (without children).
They still live Anika and Kira but it's not in a romantic way anymore. They are together for such a long time that most people don't remember Talisa's birth name (it doesn't helped that she used to introduce herself as Rose's future wife since the started dating)

J. Aromantic, asexual, loves naked cuddling and closeness, if you look for a gentle giant to lean on she got you covered. But don't expect anything in a way of a relationship or anything beyond naked cuddling.
She can flirt like a devil but she always makes clear that she wants people to feel appreciated and liked, nothing more. She has no preferences in gender identity or species. She even has a cuddle club but we don't talk about that (1. rule of the cuddle club).

⬅️ Kira. Anika left as Rose and Talisa (at that time her partners) developed romantic interest in Kira and Kira for them. As Kira went all in with Tanya (well all in for teenagers in the 2300.) they stayed as close friends on occasion cuddling or sharing a quite moment.

Arkham: never was into anything romantic until the loss of her Captain and realizing she cared way more for Kira's well-being as that of the others. She had tried in her late teens but never connected with anyone in that regard so her interest in Kira is uncharted territory for her.

Rose & Talisa Draken: married they are together since.... Basically forever. They met as children, lived close to each other and married after they got old enough. Both where in a relationship with Anika as teens but later got together with Kira and stayed with her even after her Fallout with Tanya. Now they are still close friends.➡️

Tell us about a romantic relationship a character has.

1/3

Kira: well that boarders Telenovela territory since she always gathered attention of people, not all wanted.
She is polyamorous but wasn't in bigger relationships (3+ partners) since her twenties. She kept however some of her teen partners as very close friends and the love never completely faded it just transformed. She had interspecies relationships. An interesting note in other species she is mostly attracted to male behavior/identity while with Terrans or Humans (from the Rim territory) she is more attracted to female behavior/identity. Things get complex as she is merged with Ashlei the ships AI and her Flight Commander (Arkham) opens up about her interest in her

Anika non biological sister: despite having lived through mostly the same upbringing Anika was way more settled. She & Kira had the same partners at different times and she made space for ➡️

Who among your characters is the biggest risk-taker?

Arieane they goes everywhere AI order them to go and still is a major force on every battlefield despite her injured memory. As long they can stay awake it doesn't seem so big of an issue.

Anika is a woman of action and she is good in organizing stuff on a whim. That such endeavors aren't the longest planned doesn't mean they can't succeed but it's more like if that goes sideways we improvise something.
