Does your SC feel like they fit in with their community or culture? Why or why not?

1/2
It's not a clash with their civilisation but with another that doesn't communicate, doesn't value life as equal still not all is shiny perfect fluff.

Yes some stick out at minor points like Talisa and Rose did, as teens because they knew they would marry.

J. has to deal with some prejudice because her parents eat traditional and if the topic comes up people that ate or still eat meat from other sentient creatures are seen as... Ash holes. Their is a reason they moved away.

Mondira as a Rim worlder has to put up with a lot on Eodin and especially with her Mom because she joined the Alliance. Which for most people of the working class is like treason at least if her mother's reaction is anything to go bye. Unless the Union supports Eodin in any capacity, than it's all great. She has to deal ➡️

⬅️ with a bit of culture shock and with her mother and her special friends. Her brother and her Father support her without any limits.

Kiara & Ariaene had struggles too but AJ doesn't remember anymore.
Which is a blessing in all this shit show that's happened in their live.
Technically no one gets upset or cares if non biological related people get together even if they grew up as siblings.
Even with a biological relation, if the distance is big enough, the Union doesn't care.
Medicine has advanced far enough to repair almost every damage that could come out of a 'close relatives physical relationship' but it's still frowned upon.
People growing up like siblings & than date just doesn't sits right with many people, even if they aren't genetically related. This even extends to Alien relationships despite the fact that hybrids aren't possible yet.

Does your MC like being the center of attention? Why or why not?

Kira: nope, she does the work she does in an half official way as an half official agent. More people look into that the more complicated it gets. As an open SHADE she has some power to balance but she rather not uses it. She just wants to make her job good and save people from the alien menace of the Eltaryn. Also using that power would bring another investigation.

Arkham: nope, being one of the best pilots and a bit competitive doesn't mean you automatically want the bright spot on top. For her it's the competition and the challenge to her skills. Also on mission she pretty much cares more about the mission than the prestige, as a good soldier should.

Ashlei: nope, would be a weirdly programmed intelligence if it would like to be the center of attention.

Are any of your characters terrible with time management?

Well if the military education can get one thing really right it's waking up and managing time schedules.

Things on board the Ghoz'Tarc might be 'a bit lush' according to some brass but if your home is your working space too, it's only a matter of minutes to get around in the ship that said there are always people that over exercise punctuality and people with a not so established ability.
It's harder for Mondira, who came from Eodin, the probably most powerful Rim World (despite the lack of natural resources).
Eodin is almost completely unshackled capitalism as such it's common for it's citizens to have anxiety, depression & burn outs (in more than one way), despite its very different sexual education it's pretty much living in a giant today metropolitan area & if you know one thing about such areas punctuality becomes a fluid term for most people.

PPIT 3

Tell us something wholesome about any of your stories or characters.

J. J is a really cuddly person with her 198 cm body height and her well trained muscles, she loves to swoop friends (including cuddle bodies) from their feet (only with permission). She gives all of them unique nicknames and has a little story why she chose the specific nickname. She has medical field training including psychology and often knows, thanks to her cuddle relationships, to most persons, in her surrounding, what they might need in that moment. She loves game nights with the crew, especially poker & if she sense's that someone is a bit tense she even considers loosing intentionally as long as she thinks the person needs a win and wouldn't be angry about someone loosing intentionally.
On the battlefield she is a loud demon but I'm private she carries you to your bed if you fell asleep elsewhere.

877⅛ — Do any of your characters have troubles with deadlines, like getting a term paper done before the last day, or buying holiday presents?

As soon a @floofpaldi falls asleep people jump into action to save the prompts. I like that. :D

So now you can choose between 877⅛ and the Impostertoot but to the topic.

No neither Christmas nor other end of the year celebrations as we know them today have survived into the 2300 at least in the Union.

Gifts are given at the birthday and at special occasions like bonding into a family. There are people out there that still try to uphold old earth traditions but you will most like see them celebrate Christmas one year and Hanukah the next, while they explain which historucal meaning this had in the past (not everything accurately though).

Otherwise gifts are given when people want to gift someone something.

How would your MC react in a crisis or emergency situation?

If a 2 Kilometer big ship approaches it's time to mildly panic but not loose your head, just follow the drill.
Quick thinking & fast reaction is always good to have, the Alliance also makes sure that people with the "stunned" reaction are aware enough to act & get out of their shock reaction quicker than untrained soldiers.
It's not very easy & not equally effective for everyone but it works as well as it gets.

Kira learned this the hard way, which is why she reacts calm & confident.
Freaking your crew out is bad.
Of course if she drifts away from her ship into space seconds before it goes FTL her nerv costume might not be as chill as if she faces an enemy fleet of pirates in a shuttle.

In comparison Arkham is way more passionate & loud about everything including stress.

Ash just evaluates the given situation & stands ready to act in seconds.

How could someone locate your SC(s) in a crowd?

Ping their Holos and triangulate the exact location with a scanner.
Holos also have a close proximity setting where they guid you via haptic feedback or augmented reality towards someone else. As long you have their Identification tags stored on your Holo.
Otherwise it's rummaging through the crowds and look for familiar faces, bodies, hair cuts, outfits, etc.

Holiday Edition: What gift would your MC genuinely enjoy and cherish?

Kira: Wellness/downtime, she likes exploring other cultures & species so a travel related gift would make her very happy, as long it's not a time exclusive. She also likes concerts & history. The usual 2 week deployment & 2 weeks of duty allow her to explore a bit but space is still incredibly big & the fastest FTL isn't available for commercial/private use so it depends where she debriefs.

Arkham: loves space racing & her private shuttle (the Armitage) is overly motorized and has a special license for FTL racing but it is forbidden to use it outside of races or emergencies, she gets away with it thanks to her Alliance service & the fact that her shuttle is listed & registered as an Alliance emergency vessel, which allows the Alliance to use it as they seems fit in emergency situations (it might even be armed).

Ash: appreciates new data.

How would your MC react to an unwanted romantic or sexual advance?

Such things are clearly communicated in Terran and Union society because no ones wants this Drama, thanks to the Talithi, Trellwa'ni and Somewhat being incredibly open about it. Talithi as an example have mostly poly culture regardless of buying food or getting kids. They have a very clear cut way of communication that even I as a Northern German might find extremely upfront.
Somwhar always state their intentions as soon they realize them even if their traditional approach is to first, ask in their family than "get a good trophy" to present it towards the person they are interested in.
Trellwa'ni change their behaviors to a parental approach if they find someone interesting as a partner.
Basically no one puts extra caterpillars up their waste chute so no one has to poop bulldozers.
Feelings are communicated. So if they don't match just say so.*

#PennedPossibilities 885 #StarRyde #SciFi #WorldBuilding #WIP

I case you are into *puts a old wild west yehaa face and voice on* like romance in the good old days... Unnecessary drama and pooping bulldozer sized butterflies just add yourself to such a dating pool...
Mist people find them annoying but hey whatever floats someone's boat and some just don't float with a strict:
"I find myself more and more interested in your personality, are you up for Inter-/Samespecies Relationships, including but not limited to romantic and/or sexual contact and if so, would you consider me for the same?" Or "I find you highly interesting from a personal point of view, do you consider me the same?"

But it makes a lot easier especially while dating between over hundreds of species and don't stress yourself about unwanted pregnancies... Most species are not able to produce offspring outside their own but for fuxx sake inform your self about inter species transmission of disease.

What part of the writing process itself is your favorite?

At the moment absolutely none if I look at my word output after November...
clearly the none writing part. Coming up with backstories, worldbuilding, reasoning, ideas bouncing them around my head, rolling them on my tongue and creating possibilities.
Limiting them by "putting them down to paper" is a battle for me.
I have a insane resistance against writing stuff down, it is a problem now, was a problem back in the day and often something outside force has to motivate me to...
And after doing so and especially in Winter I feel "a burnout of writing" especially hard. As if it eats up all my creativity.
Not sure if this is dependent on my depression or just its own thing.

#PennedPossibilities 886

887
As a writer, what is your favorite sort of character to write?

Flawed ones, limited ones, flaws are an important Character trait for everyone and if we are being honest we all have them (I am chaos incarnate let me sit in a room for 20 minutes with nothing to do and you will see how "my zone" spreads), flaws make us us (no not the U.S. that is... Skip). Characters that borderline into Marry Sue territory but get heavily grounded with the almost equivalent number of flaws or other problems. Characters that have a friction in their behavior. That can be an Idol but only if you move the camera in a certain position, ducttaping certain areas with cut up trash bags in their background.
Characters with their own motivation and often quite opposite of parts of me or in a slightly idealistic way.
Alanis have an uncanny preference for female to nonbinary people excluding stereotypical males...
My chars often have Bud Spencer/Terence Hill/Jacky Chan like language.

What is the worst injury or illness your MC has ever experienced?

Kira: Only surviving thanks to an AI that is now permanently merged with her definitely ranks in the top 5...

For Arkham it's not really an injury instead her skins reaction to certain yet undetermined things.

Ashlei is a spaceship AI nothing a human could easily understand.

New Year’s Day Edition: What would your SC have to say about the previous year? Was it good for them, or did they just survive it?

I think this goes to the whole crew and would be something like this.

"Ehm 2025... Ash what exactly happened in 2025? It's a weird question right? I mean it's almost 325 years ago... Was their something important on Terra, wait I mean back in the day Earth right?"

To be fair to them what do you think about the year 1.700? Without looking it up.

Who are the members of your MC’s immediate family?

Kira: Anika, J, Rose and Talisa later Arkham after Anika went M.I.A.(K.I.A.?) involuntarily Ashlei since being merged with an A.I. is complicated.

Arkham: Anika very loosely, Ashlei and later Kira and maybe the others too.

Ash: Arkham, Kira but basically the whole crew.

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 ➡️

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

Assimilation

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

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.

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.

Tell us about your SC’s most cherished possession.

William Troika, second executive officer.
Since the Ghoz'Tarc is a smaller sized ship, space inside is limited (outside is plenty but that's not usable). So much of what people carry with them is on the digital side.
William has an complete Holo (smartphone 10.0) full of messages, videos, audios and pictures of his family with him. He just loves to see his daughters and wife every day, it reminds him why he is in the military.
He carries it in a small pocket inside his uniform directly above his heart.

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 ➡️

#PennedPossibilities 897 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #Arkham #RoseDraken #JHarveyGladstone #StarRyde #SciFi #WIP

897. 2/2

⬅️ family moved into a colony, to farm animals, has killed animals and consumed their meat, which is considered by most a form of barbarism especially since printed & lab grown meat are quite easy to find everywhere & vegan meat alternatives are like the real stuff in the future (we are close but imagine 300 years in the future), her father wanted a son (considered weird by most to care so much for a babys gender) that's why her second name is Harvey, is aromantic & asexual but loves naked skin contact (we don't speak about the cuddle club).
Often plays dumb but has a medical education.

5 Mondira Ramann: Is from the most powerful Rimworld Eodin, her mother considers her a traitor, her father loves her, her brother runs the families barber shop. Had Eodinian sex-education, has an open hero crush on Kira, sees Arkham as her personal 'goal to be like' (including Kiras & her relationship).

Which one of your characters is the loudest snorer and who is most likely to sleepwalk?

Hyberpods are regulated to deliver perfect conditions to sleep while gently filtering out sounds from the surrounding that are considered not noteworthy, despite this if you are in a Hyberpod and some one next to you is in another that person has to snore louder than an average terran can to have your sleep interrupted.

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

Imagine This: In a modern universe, what would be your MC’s screen name (gamer tag or online alias)?

We had call/friend/partner/cozy names yesterday in the German Phantastik Prompts. How fitting. :D

Well Arkham already uses a very specific call name but for her gaming expirience it would probably _Hill. Or MS.KaToniK or Armitage (which she uses for her privat shuttle).

Kira probably would go with a stupid pun like The1Wu-Knox or HighKNOXicity and if asked about tell people she was born in a city called Knox or something like that.

Ashlei that's a tough one...
GladMotherLilyHal.os
I imagine her naming skills not very developed and more on the try hard side another one would be Dr.KarrData or Kitt.CortanaLore. mixing good and evil AI's from historical fiction because she despises this 21.cent., early so called AIs. After all she has class.

Share a piece of lore from your WIP.

Lore? I don't use Data's evil twin a lot since it's no Star Trek fanfiction anymore... Badumms.😬

I wrote two and a half toots 45 minutes ago about warmwater penguins the Eudyptes Pen Katsuragis (in German for the Phantastik Prompts).
See here:
https://nerdculture.de/@AnnaSaultron/115885060054070895

They are scary fellows with high intelligence, claws at their wing tips and the last part hints at that something dramatic happened in Australia with this birds, because it states beer catastrophe, Australia, pinguin revolts.
Basically the whole entry about them is disturbing and the implications for Terra.

They are a sort of Captain 'Murrica' if he was a population of genetically engineered penguins.

Or do you want to know about the layers of Vegas? Artificial trees? Why palmtrees grow in London or why the (Big Ben) Tower is sticking out of the northern sea?

What is your MC’s profession?
Kira = 1: Soldier
Arkham = 2: Soldier
Ashlei = 3: Military Vessel A.I.

1. Did they choose this profession for themselves or were they pressured into it by someone else?
1: chose
2: offered to join
3: developed to be

2. If they chose it for themselves, why did they do it?
1: Yes because she felt it was right.
2: Yes, was the best alternative.
3: no choice, build on purpose.

3. Regardless of how they got into this profession, do they enjoy it?
1: in the realms of possibility.
2: see above.
3: not programmed to feel anything.

4. If they were not in this profession, what would they be doing instead?

How old is your antagonist? Do they act their age, or do they feel their age?

Ayanami: well it's a surprise people know their cover name, nobody has an inkling of a shimmer of knowledge about Ayanami's age.

Ariæne Johnsen: somewhere between exhausted 29 to somewhere of fit enough 40 visually.
Ariæne doesn't know themself for sure, that's the crazy with missing memories of all kind.
They probably has a birth certificate, or an ID but not all Union ID's show the age basically it's only noted if someone is considered a legal minor. Ayanami possibly could know it but from their perspective it's not important to tell it to others.

Bonus: The Nethrazier. That ship has some really interesting tech people haven't seen otherwise which hints at something very new, contrary sightings of the ship go back at least 70 years. But most cases are marked confidential.

MC POV: Are you afraid to be alone?

I take only one MC this time.

Kira: "In solitude rests the ability to grow, to listen to yourself and understand, via reflection, via distancing from the trouble around you. That said loneliness is a feeling most don't like, that's because we are still social creatures. I'm not really afraid of being alone but of long-term loneliness. What will happen to me and Ash after I leave the military? Since the merge I want alone at all, even if Ash didn't talked toe I knew if I reached out via thought she is there. As Arkham said I can't demand that they hand me the Ghoz'Tarc or give me Ash's core and my Power grid at home might not be suited for the power the core needs. I have no idea what will happen with me without her. So no I don't fear being alone but being lonely."

#PennedPossibilities 903 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #SciFi #WIP

904
What does your MC have in common with you, the author?

Kira & I we are both Cyborgs, i'm more on the low level side, implants, replacements, glasses, worn medical device, she's absolutely on the high end being merged with an A.I. & some other improvements not uncommon for Terrans and Soldiers in the 24. Century. We both like Star Trek & Mass Effect (she had to watch/play it at the alliance academy for educational reasons).
Both have a soft spot for old music & old tech (she even owns a CD).
We share NSFW stuff. And we both can rage like a barbarian.

Arkham: she mirrors big parts of my sexual ID, my romantic ID, my love for speed and my anti mindset.

Ash: what could I share with an A.i.?
A certain coldness in assessment of situations. I am not the warmest person especially not if I try to understand something or are asked about emotional support. Often logic wins over my heart. Ash could be this part.

Is your MC responsible for anyone other than themselves? How do they feel about this?

MC1 Kira Knox Acting Captain on a mission for which the crew was hand picked, now in the position after the captain died/went M.I.A.

MC2 Arkham Flight Commander on that Mission.

MC3 Ashlei the AI of the ship that is on this Mission.

It's part of the freaking job. It's the military in 23xx, the know universe is at war with an recurring enemy that doesn't communicate, they joint voluntarily or where specifically designed for it like Ashlei.
Could it be better? Of course without war. Is it the worst thing ever? Only if reality reminds you that you are not invulnerable by taking your family, your friends, your captain, your sister, your crew, your world, your society, your home, you...
