Talita is a socially anxious aerospace engineer and cross-species foster kid.

She has spent the vast majority of her life around humans and isn’t very familiar with her own species or their myriad of cultures. Talita hates talking about herself or being the center of attention, but will light up if asked about aerospace topics. Her hobbies include ripping apart old electronics and building new things, collecting and designing wind spinners, and bodybuilding.

Idrisah is a Muslim xenolingiust who translates for avian alien languages, primarily Tiiliitian. She has a high-strung personality and is prone to spiraling into her own worries.

Idrisah also has a soft spot a mile wide for cute animals (and people) and tends to get very sentimental over otherwise insignificant things. Her hobbies include cooking, stationary, organizing things in cute little boxes, and learning history (human and avian). She is married to Gillie Touati-Sharp.

Bip's avatar's face. It resembles an iconified white bug ferret head with humanoid or centaur-like eyes.

Bip is the pilot A.I. of the Runaway spacecraft, a 200 meter long vessel with twin z-point fusion engines and a spacious four-story habitat module. Bip has remote control bots or RV units, but they use these like limbs– their main “body” or locus of self is the Runaway spacecraft, and their “brain” is a server rig on the top floor of the habitat. They have a preferred screen avatar for talking to squishy sophonts, which is a 2D puppet animation resembling a bug ferret with humanoid/centauroid eyes.
