Does your MC prefer to spend time alone, in a small group, or in a larger group?

Define smaller and larger groups please.

Large and small are no size scales. the smallest group is probably made out of 2 people, the at the moment biggest group consists of 8.298.978.817 (eight billion, two hundred, ninety eight million, nine hundred seventy eight thousand, eight hundred seventeen) humans.
Don't get the ants involved...

Kira: if she can have her alone time she can live with groups of up to thousands of people.

Arkham: "Smaller, please!"

Ashlei: has no preferences

List five facts about your favorite character(s) in your WIP.

- I do 5 for 5 in two toots
1/2

1. Kira Knox: is officially recognized as a Cyborg, has two distinct eye colors, has an uncanny proprioception, her love/personal relationship live is worth her own romance drama novel, hates her second name Joan.

2. Arkham: Ill tempered if things develop different as expected, thinks of herself as asexual & aromantic for most of her life but seems to be demi sexual & romantic. Has a unknown condition that makes her hypersensitiv, can be quite blunt/rude, eats vegan because it's helps her condition.

3. Rose Draken: Her files are mostly classified, has received a purple star medal, daughter of an industrial powerhouse family, 'black sheep' of her family, has thorns, if it exist she can probably hack it.

4. Jennifer Harvey Gladstone: J. grew up on Terra til she was 4. Her & her ➡️

Gäbe es einen Grund nach der Hauptfigur zu fanden? (gekürzt)

Kira: stand bereits vor Gericht für ihr erstes Kommando.
Grund? Sie ignorierte ihren direkten Befehl als die Kommunikation Zusammenbrach, in einer Situation in der es der Allianz lieber gewesen wäre, sie hätte ihn befolgt. Einige wollten Konsequenzen aber dank einer genauen Analyse der Union, eventuell angestoßen durch eine gewisse Ministerin für Terranische Außenangelegenheiten,* wurde sie stattdessen befördert und geehrt.
Wer sagt das so etwas nicht wieder passieren könnte und sie dieses Mal dann nicht 'direkt zur Verfügung steht'. Das würde ihre Crew und das Schiff mit rein ziehen.

*Die Eiskönigin, Kiras 2. Mutter. Es sieht natürlich etwas seltsam aus wenn sich die Außenministerin in ein Militärisches Gerichtsverfahren einmischt, dass die Beförderung ihrer Tochter als Ergebnis hat nach einer Anklage zur insubordination.

Kira:
Biological Mother & Father died at the friendship station catastrophe.
Bigger and smaller sister died at the same location at the same time.
2./adoptive Father K.I.A. on mission for the Alliance.
'Twin'-Sister declared dead by command after mission went down badly.
Last surviving family member her 2./adoptive Mother - "The Ice Queen." It's complicated really complicated. The ice queen is Terran Minister for outside affairs, has a some would say dark history others would say the perfect example of a reformed Union citizen and a damn good "(sub) zero to hero story."

Arkham: Father died in Alliance Service, Mother died later after Arkham fled her oppressiveness & lived on the streets on a close rim Union colony which had hard problems with upholding Union standards. Her mother died relative recently & Arkham hates that she can't rub her own success into her face.

If someone wanted to hurt your MC, what would that person do or say to them?

Do? Better nothing or hide very well.
Kira has a strong protective side so probably a really bad idea to go for her family/friends/loved ones, or insulting her dead relatives but so is wanting to hurt someone.

Arkham, comparing her to her mother, if one can handle the backlash.

ASH is not programmed to feel pain, she can however determine intend if she has enough data of a person & might answer in a devastating dry way like locking that person in an airlock, pretending the outer door is damaged or instantly increasing the gravity arround one.

In all cases it is seen as self preservation neglect to hurt others willingly. Space has many nasty stuff that is considered non lethal but make you wish for it and people have not much sympathy for people who hurt others knowing or worst willingly.
So better just don't.

Week 32 (04.01.2026 - 10.01.2026)

Do you make use of symbolism? For erotic and/or romantic purposes, or other reasons?

Not especially knowingly or planing for it.

I often go with the flow of a character. For Star Ryde's erotic mingles I try to think as the character. I realized that it works, sometimes, like a charm.
As an example Arkham wears very little clothing, do to her hyper sensitivity & her reaction times. So it's not uncommon for her to run around as others would say "half/full naked, inappropriate" & even "over sexualized."
Since she has no romantic or erotic desires in the beginning, she couldn't care less. It serves her purpose. As she later starts to developing this feelings for Kira & wants her to feel special, she seeks help for some Dessous by Kira's & her friends. Resulting in a simple but elegant set that almost shortcuts the commander.

Later she even adopts a bit more clothing to 'keep her body a bit more protected.'

⬅️ one I are basically silent. Which makes her most accurate spoken name A-bishek Pa-k-ti.

Ash or more Accurate Ashlei. If we want to be correct it's A.S.H.L.E.I.
It's a bit confusing because in her core Ash is an AI developed to support Humans/Terrans and as such created by an almost entirely Terran team & her names changed plenty of times,
Including ASSHHLEIGH, ASHHLEIGH, ASSHLEIH, ASSLI, ASSLEE and so on before the settled for ASHLAI and finally ASHLEI

Adaptive

Heuristic

Assimilation
Intelligence

Which is the more 'accurate' description of what she actually does but the official became

Adaptive

Heuristics

Emulating
Intelligence

People did NOT like the assimilation part, that said the name was decided by a group of people from which some where PR folks so it's not as accurate as one might hope it would & luckily the ASS got dropped.

What is your MC’s full name? Do other characters know it?

1/2
Kira Joan Knox it's spoken Jo-Ann most assume it's something like Jown for some weird reason. Most people know about her second name but it's rarely used. Legends say it's added by the parents to have a verbal handle if Kira did something that they did not approve off. It's mostly used by others if they try to get through to her and they know it's not her favorite part of her name especially since J created Team Joanika after team Akira wasn't approved by Anika but she also didn't liked Joanika.

Abbisheek Paktii she hates it it's also written wrong in almost all documents she has as Abbishek Pakthi, Pahkti. Most people call her by her favorite name Arkham, very few people are allowed to call her Abbisheek or Abby/Aby Abbs/Abs.
The weirdest part for us today is that on double characters are often simply not spoken as such so one b, one e and ➡️
