Wechseln deine Protagonisten innerhalb einer Geschichte manchmal auch anlasslos ihre Kleidung? Gibt es so etwas wie Mode?

Nichts passiert ohne Grund & wenn es nur der Wunsch ist, die Kleidung zu wechseln so ist das doch Anlass genug, oder?

Die Unionsuniformen & die der Allianz sind als Survival Suits ausgelegt, hoch technologische Meisterwerke die auf der Dicke eines Wollpullover oder einer Cordhose Funktionen wie Druckregulierung, Flüssigkeitsabsorption, Strahlenschutz, Medizinverteilung, Wundverschlussunterstützung etc regulieren.

In der Theorie können diese Uniformen mehrere Tage bis Wochen am Stück getragen werden allerdings lässt ihre Funktion nach, wenn sich das feine Material mit Salz oder Hautschuppen festsetzt, einmal wenden & ausklopfen wirkt das schon Wunder, allerdings sollte die Uniform dennoch regelmäßig gereinigt & auf Makel begutachten werden um 100% Funktionalität zu gewährleisten.

Modisch unterscheiden sich die Modelle nur darin, dass die Unionsuniform weiß mit farblichen Anteilen ist (Rank & Abteilung) während die Uniform der Allianz schwarz ist & auf Holobefehl, die farbigen Akzente schwarz färbt.

Mode gibt es aber diese unterscheidet sich sehr stark von Planet zu Planet/Sektor zu Sektor etc. & außer Mondira haben, an Bord, die meisten Leute kein richtiges Intresse daran außer wenn eine Mission es erfordert.

Am auffälligsten ist noch die Mode der Somwhar, was allerdings auch in ihrer Mannigfaltigkeit begründet ist. Eine Zeitlang war es Mode prächtige Haarmähnen & einen langen Schweif zu tragen. Da aber nur ein Bruchteil der Somwhar von Natur aus einen Schweif haben oder eine Mähne, waren Protesen & Perücken der Hit, sogar bei einigen nicht Somwhar. Was für meisten von ihnen als einen unglaublich guten Witz empfanden. Man Stelle sich das vor Terran'ni oder Talithi mit einem Schweif oder einer Mähne. Was kommt als nächstes? :D

Do any of your characters have an unusual or uncommon pet? What is it? How did they acquire it?

Pet or the German name Haustier
(Haus = House - Tier ist the same word as in English but in German it means animal)
are seen as insults by Terrans in the 2300.

Animal companions are not owned, they choose to stay with someone, a lot of animal languages have also been decoded & can be used thanks to universal translation (it takes a bit longer since animals have no neural implants).

In the Background a Somwhar Musician from the Planet Khalit lives on Terra together with a red cat he calls Bob. Somwhar are best described as humanoid felines & Khalit has a exorbitant variety of different people of them. Most of them hate Terran cats. Not Somwhar Ovate Reinbo, he finds Bob very cool and amusing. Even if he is shunned for it by his people, Bob just showed up one day & improved his life.

Is there any mythology around the afterlife in your world?

Credit: @SJHoodlet

The Children of Khalit, also known as the Somwhar, believe that they join their species ancestors if they lived an honorable live.
Khalit being the mother who brought them to life, their homeworld, the Asza'ni call them the Khali'ni for that reason, while the Somwhar insist that the Name of Khalit must be spoken entirely.
The afterlife is portrait as a never ending party of hunting, arts, as an eternal dance & enjoying live with their "parents." Between Khalit, also called Mother Khalil at times, Khalil is the language the Somwhar speak & it's told that she taught them how to speak, their father or seeder, basically the sun & the guardian, the somber ex partner of Khalit who now watches her child's, wiping away tears of sorrow & joy, from afar as their sworn protector, giver of water & peace, the moon of Khalit.

2/2
Die Bethosianer oder Bethos haben neben den Asza'ni eine stark auf Gerüchen und Pheromonen basierte Kommunikation welche für nicht angehöruge ihrer Spezies oder im Dauerkontakt mit anderen Spezies stehenden eher schlecht als recht funktioniert. Die Trellwa'ni haben, nach dem sie den Krieg gegen die Asza'ni gewonnen haben, sehr viel aus der Asza'ni Kultur übernommen und ihren Namen dahingehend angepasst (das war weit vor Gründung der Union). Sie können sogar mit der Kommunikation der Asza'ni mithalten, allerdings liegt dies nicht an ihren Nasen sondern an der Wahrnehmung von ultra Spektrum Licht, welches sich durch die Pheromone der Asza'ni und Bethosianer verändert. Auch die Somwhar als "Weltraumkatzen" haben einige Fähigkeiten in diese Richtung.

* one of the first things Ovate learned was about Red/Orange cats being "special" and since he has reddish orange fur himself he just "claimed" this trait for himself. He doesn't care that others find him kinda speciest in the portrayal of his species as a giant Terran house cat... His argument is that by being the seemingly only one doing it it can't be seen as a bad representation but is indeed a bolt move to be different.
On Terra he is a welcomed guest on musical related topics and he even has some Terra living Somwhar that like him for being so weird. Most of them wouldn't be so open on Khalit the homeworld of the Somwhar. It's a bit like people moving to another city to follow their interests without judgement. Well only on a galaxy wide level.

467. Out of every single one of your characters, who would be one who to believe in ghosts?

Somwhar Ovate Reinbo. He is an prominent Somwhar musician that lives on Terra. The Somwhar have a very spiritual behavior towards their homeworld Khalit and it's inhabitants. Ovateh lives on Terra because he fell in love with its stories but especially with its cats.
For him they are a lost tribe of the Somwhar and he studied them for years now. He has a very stupid humor but is also very rooted in the believes of the Somwhar that Khalit is a living being and he believes Terra and it's Gaya Mythos to be as true as the Stories about Khalit being sentient being. He just would love to have more Terrans see that fact.

#Somwhar
Edit: #SomwharOvateReinbo

3/x have the ability to speak with closed or a full mouth as long their nostrils aren't blocked, in theory they als can keep prey in their fangs while speaking.

The name originally stood for their concept of their 2 moons & their sun. It's a long tragic love story between them. Basically the sun lost her partner moon to another moon partner & now the two moons dance in their home while the sun happy for their moon partner but als sad to do her loss & now being alone visits every day, keeping her distance, singing to the children of her loved moon so they may never feel alone.

Mond di Ra/Luna die Ra was the first translation that came out of the attempts do to Terran standard being mostly constructed of shorter words and concepts that broadly mean the same.

So her name could be interpreted as the Sun sings to the moon children.

What would a travel guide about your story's world advertise as a must-see?

On Terra probably every major city that is part of the restauration efforts. Where tall buildings from the past spike out the waters of the oceans.
Luna has some interesting domed cities, Friendship station where the first contact, in person, took place, between the Talithi and the Terrans or the unification with the Asza'ni, Trelwa'ni, Bethosians. Maybe you want to visit the "floating" Venusians Cities which are a beachhead for the commercial & industrial usage of Venus resources. This are only local stuff around our sol system. Maybe you would love to visit Khalit the home of the Somwhar & it's lush planet spanning forests in which the Somwhar life in their traditional treehouses villages, or the more galactic common spaceport cities where interplanetary trade made some Somwhar more like the most other species.
