MC POV: Were you born to shine in one special way? What makes you really stand out?

Kira: "For swex sake...
I finished the A.P.E.-Program as one of the best do to extraordinary circumstances & my own work together with Anika. I was chosen to start directly into the S.H.A.D.E. program. I survived the deaths of my biological family at Friendship Station, I survived the time afterwards only thanks to my second family. I lost dad to the military, Anika saved my ass three! Three forking times. We joined the military, we survived the circumstances that led to our recommendations.
I survived my first incredible command fork up & saved almost 100 civilians by sacrificing seven!
Seven of the best soldiers I had the chance to work with...
I survived the day Anika went M.I.A....
Now I'm am a cyborg with a freaking A.I. merged into my brain, no offense Ash.
I can not tell how many times I started to feel the ship like my own body...
So tell me what do you think?
Am I special? Am I chosen to 'shine'?!
Or I am simply 'LUCKY' enough?
Lucky enough to survive all this shit in this Galaxy, thanks to the people around me or some idiotic 'higher force' messing with us??.
You probably didn't know but never, never aks me such a question ever again. Please & THANKS!"

Ashlei: "Non offensive statements registered captain. As the ships A.I. I was created to support & defend the crew. Thus one could argue that I am indeed created for this role, since I was not born."

Arkham: "Na fork that Swex, not gonna answer that, it sounds incredibly toxic like my birth giver...
'You need to be the best.', 'I will forge you to be a success.', 'You will fulfill my destiny.'
Sorry you probably didn't mean harm but... Yeah..."

1001. Is your MC confident or not? Tell us why.

That is highly dependent on the character and the situation/topic.

Kira has to be seen as confident in her decisions, which is to a degree toxic but as the acting captain it is necessary.
That said she knows that she doesn't know everything & is always open for discussions if the time allows it. In a life or death situation with no time to react she is non negotiable in her commands.
In interpersonal things she knows what she wants & knows what she has to offer, still it's not all the time easy or simple.

Arkham as Flight Commander is in a similar position. It's her decision making that can make the difference between life & death even if she doesn't agree with orders. On a professional level that's no problem on a inter personal level she would often appreciate a cloaking device.

Ashlei calculates probabilities & knows facts, that's what she is build for.

Beschreibt das Worldbuilding der echten Welt (in der ihr lebt) aus der Sicht eurer Hauptfigur.

Kira: "Puh schwierig.
Also kontrafaktische Historien sind ja okay aber ernsthaft? Klar passt zur Geschichte aber meine Fresse bin ich froh, dass die Terranische Bewegung den Arsch hoch gekriegt hat. Wenn ich das da lese.
Wenn Menschen echt 'SO' waren wundert mich nichts mehr.
Aber zumindest ist es ziemlich dramatisch wenn eine Person sowas mag."

Arkham: "Ist nicht meins, ich mag lieber kleinere Geschichten zuviele Details da wirst ja verrückt bei."

Ashlei: "Die Bewertungen sind zu 86,7% Negativ. Zitat: 'Kopf aus Popcorn rein' oder 'gute Grafik sc#315 Story', 'Wer hat das geschrieben? So ein Dreck hat ja nicht Mal der Rim zu bieten.'
Es folgen 49.000.387.563 Einträge mit ähnlichen Inhalten. Soll ich weiter vorlesen oder reicht es an Beispielen? Viele sind beleidigend formuliert."

What is your MC's relationship to obtaining and preparing food?

Kira: Making food for others, that they can enjoy is great. For herself, it's the quickest possible.
The EQuil (food printer liquid) 'flavored' with some spices & necessary nutrients.
It's a 24. Century eating disorder. She had to promise her doctor to regularly eat something that isn't the equivalent of a Fitness Shake with the consistency of thin slime, otherwise she would probably stop being able to process solid food.

Arkham: takes great care about what she eats, mostly vegan because otherwise her sensitivity drives her nuts and to the brink of her bodies capabilities.

Ashlei: so much radiant energy and her reactor, but nothing beats yellow G type star light

Tell us about your MC’s bravest moment.

Kira: some call it indoctrinated some call it brave. Joining the Alliance Military forces with fourteen.
So young you are not pulled into service but educated into technology & mechanics of ships, strategy, tactics, knowledge of how weapons are build, what military doctrines are and schooled how to defuse the dangerous situations non violently. Still the Alliance Pre Education (closest translation short A.P.E.) program isn't without challenges and challengers, the skills are helpful everywhere in space, but joining the military that early even with its leave clause doesn't sits right with everyone.

Arkham: running away from home and deciding to take her life in her own hands.

Ashlei: can AIs be brave?
Should AIs be brave? Do we even want brave AIs?

Does your MC have a particular scent they love or hate due to their past?

hate
Kira: burning metal, blood, burning flesh, Space vakuum without much gravity. Hot iron especially because it's in all of the above.

Arkham: streets, big city, snow, the shower gel her mother used.

Ashlei: can't smell in the traditional sense (ha). She scans for Things. Things that endanger the mission or her crew. CO² overflow, less O², gasses, etc.

Love
Kira: signifikant others, her own scent when working out. She always finds new scents to like or dislike.

Arkham: not really, their are okay ones like food or her apartment, her shower gel but nothing she loves so far.

Ash: see above, enough O² some space anomalies but according to Kira most of them smell like rotten meat. Relaxed Crew members.

Your MC has 2 1/2 days of spare time, time to...

Kira on mission: Train more diverse. Paperwork. Being on call.
Kira not on mission: Splat on the couch, pretend the universe doesn't exist. Grab snacks, watch something, yell at the screen or cry depending on what she is watching.
2 1/2 days are not enough time in Spaces jobs to make plans.

Arkham o.m. crawl into any not highly frequented crawlspace and watch her NIN-Dramas.
Arkham n.o.m similar to Kira probably ordering something really unhealthy she will regret because of her health issues & watching more Dramas or maybe something pornographic & laugh about "the story" or a documentary. You can't watch the same stuff all the time it makes your brain smooth...

Ashlei: no spare time for the ships A.I. that said she can run instances of her self that can participate in spare time activity while her main system stays online & working.

What would be the most unappreciated social event a character of yours could be invited to?

Kira: Colony development plans.
The colony, she lives in, when not on mission, regularly meets & discusses everything, most of the times she prefers to read the exert. Votes can be send in via message. And since she is often times in space, when they happen, it's just easier for her to read through it, state her points written down & off it goes. She likes the neighbors she has & they have a good relationship but meeting over 35.000 people in basically a home owner association is taxing.

Arkham: Everything involving "the Brass" a lot of Alliance Admirals aren't aware of her condition. The Alliance is huge & the Unions Fleet even larger so her "incorrectly dressed state" would need a lot of explanation, at least in her mind.

Ashlei: has no preference or non preferences in that regard.

Did your MC ever have a melody/tune stuck in their head?

Kira: Yes

Arkham: Yes

Ashlei: not really since she can end a process if she wants to.

Extra Author: Kawehi - (Not another lame) fight song. Mostly the looped parts and I see her walking down the street remixing and looping stuff in her grey dress. Basically it's my visualizing inner eye replaying the video...

MC POV: Write about three realistic goals you would like to achieve in your lifetime.

Kira: "I don't have any plans beyond my service time or this mission. Not anymore. The goal was to get the ice queen to retire & move her, together with Anika to my biological family's home I inherited. The house is way to big for me & a possible partner alone, it was planed for 5 gens after all & with my parents being polyarmor. Now with Anika M.I.A. or K.I.A. I don't know if 'mum' & I can reconcile without her I don't even know how to tell her, if Admiral Hackett-Anderson hasn't already. This whole mission has become such a swex."

Arkham: "The plan was to go back, live my life & wait for the next mission. Not sure I can to be honest. I never needed other people in between but this time's different. You know what they say about plans? They aren't worth a swex."

Ashlei: Bringing my crew safe home, clearing this mission."
