MEET THE CREW

The black ain’t so bad—if your people have your back.

 

Mitsu R’Ikeda

Role: Captain
Age: 27
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 158 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Pisces (Carries wounds like armor. Leads like he’s got nothing left to lose.)
Favorite Drink: Black coffee, no cream, no questions
Favorite Song: White Flag – Bishop Briggs
Specialty: Command under fire. Tactics that don’t blink. Lies told straight-faced.

Bio:
Noble-born and unknowingly altered, Mitsu chose his name the day he ran. Cool under pressure. Sharp behind the eyes. Loyal to a fault—but never unbroken. The Captain of the Moirai carries ghosts, secrets, and a knife-edged calm. He was built to lead. They taught him to obey. He’s still deciding which wins.

Fun Fact: Mitsu once passed a Second Tier lie detector test while actively dissociating. The machine shorted out. He never looked back.

Gunner Lao

Role: Pilot
Age: 48
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 210 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn (All spine, no spotlight—he shoulders the weight so no one else has to.)
Favorite Drink: Straight bourbon, but only if it’s cheap and earned
Favorite Song: Fortunate Son – Creedence Clearwater Revival
Specialty: Aerial maneuvering under fire, evasive tactics, combat landing

Bio:
Once a decorated warhawk with more confirmed kills than medals, Gunner Lao walked away from the First Tier military the day they told him which lives weren’t worth saving. Now, he flies the Moirai through hellscapes and debris fields—with a scowl, a cracked knuckle, and a muttered insult for every AI ever coded. Gruff, sharp-eyed, and perpetually unimpressed, Gunner’s not here to make friends—he’s here to keep the crew alive, no matter how stupid their plans.

He doesn’t say much, but when he does? Listen.
Especially if it starts with “Back in my day…”

He pretends not to care. That’s why he’s still here.

Fun Fact: Gunner’s been court-martialed three times. Acquitted twice. The third? The report got sealed—and the other guy didn’t walk away.


Kazuhiro “Hiro” Hasukawa

Role: Medic
Age: 31
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 165 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Virgo (Stitches wounds with grace—and cuts ties just as clean when pushed too far.)
Favorite Drink: Sweetened iced matcha
Favorite Song: Saturn - Sleeping at Last
Specialty: Battlefield triage, pharmacological improvisation, quiet intervention

Bio:
The only reason the Moirai crew hasn’t killed each other yet? Hiro.

Earnest, intuitive, and soft-spoken in five languages, Kazuhiro Hasukawa serves as the crew’s medic, conscience, and occasional therapist. He’s the kind of man who disinfects your wounds while quietly letting you cry, and then casually stitches your self-esteem back together afterward.

Raised in a Third Tier enclave with strict values and an even stricter father, Hiro learned early how to care for others—sometimes to his own detriment. He knows the difference between care and codependence. He just hasn’t figured out how to stop choosing others first.

He sees the best in everyone. He’s learning to extend that grace to himself.

Fun Fact: Once talked a dying soldier through his final moments in three languages—because none of them knew which one the man could still hear.


Kazuya “Suka” Hasukawa

Role: Tower Gunner/Muscle
Age:
21
Height: 6’
Weight: 175 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Gemini (Talks big. Fights bigger. Built like a fuse—sharp, fast, and ready to detonate.)
Favorite Drink: Anything with bubbles—especially cheap soda or fruity sparkling wine
Favorite Song: Midwest Indigo – Twenty One Pilots
Specialty: Blitz tactics, reactive fire, hold-the-line desperation plays

Suka grew up second—second son, second priority, second to speak. But you wouldn’t know it now. On the Moirai, he’s the loudest in the room and the first into any fight. Quick-talking, quicker to swing, Suka doesn’t hesitate once the bullets fly.

He serves as the Moirai’s tower gunner and frontline bruiser, relying on speed, unpredictability, and sheer nerve. His tactics are less “precision” and more “problem solved.” He doesn’t like plans. He likes results. And if you ask him why he takes so many hits for the crew, he’ll say it’s because he can.

Just don’t mention his brother in the middle of a fight. That’s when things get really messy.

Fun Fact: Suka once tried to arm wrestle Brek. Dislocated his own shoulder. Called it a tie.


Brek

Role: Engineer
Age: 36
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 230 lbs (dense muscle & modmass)
Zodiac Sign: Taurus (Fixes things—ships, systems, people. Not because he wants to—because they’re his.)
Favorite Drink: Hot chocolate—too sweet, too thick, and exactly how he likes it when no one’s watching
Theme Song: Iron - Woodkid
Specialty: Crawlspace combat, vertical traversal, improvised repairs under fire

Bio:
Brek’s body was rebuilt in a Tier 3 chop shop—arms lengthened, core reinforced, nerves stripped and rewired for high-load tasks and vertical traversal. They called it simian-grade modwork. What it really means? Brek can climb, crush, or fix damn near anything—and survive places no sane person would crawl into.

Opposable thumbs on hands and feet. Nose tuned too sharp for comfort. No tail—his one boundary—but enough heat mesh, brow plating, and body hair to trigger Second Tier alarms.

He doesn’t talk about the years between modification and the Moirai, but they left marks deeper than code. He’s not sentimental. But if your bunk’s too hot, your wiring’s fried, or your pulse skips a beat—he’ll fix it anyway. Then calls you a dumbass for making him notice.

Fun Fact: Keeps spare tools and snacks in his shoulder mesh. Once beat a drone to death with a torque wrench he named Susan. No one else is allowed to touch Susan.


Rigo Salazar

Role: Navigator
Age: 29
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 170 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius (He doesn’t steer the ship. He reroutes inevitability.)
Favorite Drink: Black tea with condensed milk
Theme Song: Unknown / Nth - Hozier
Specialty: Hyperspatial plotting, navigational overlays, deep drift intuition

Bio:
Rigo was born in the Drift—a scatter of outposts and signal ghosts beyond the mapped lanes. He doesn’t speak much about his childhood, but it left him with a talent for silence and a sixth sense for spatial rhythm. On the Moirai, he serves as navigator, sensor specialist, and the one most likely to detect something long before it becomes a problem.

His command of the ship’s trajectories borders on myth. He doesn’t pilot through space—he listens to its mood shifts, pressure drops, and magnetic sighs. He doesn’t argue. He just adjusts the course five seconds before the danger hits.

Fun Fact: Once cracked a navigation sequence by humming to himself in perfect pitch—then refused to explain how it worked. Brek thinks he’s tuned to subspace. Suka thinks he’s lying. Rigo hasn’t said either way.


Trout

Role: Unknown
Age: 9? 10? Never ask a lady how old she is.
Height: 4'2"
Weight: 54 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Cancer (But if you ask her, she’ll say “moonlight”)
Favorite Drink: Strawberry milk
Theme Song: The Moon Will Sing - The Crane Wives
Specialty: Undefined. Possibly everything. Possibly nothing.

Bio:
No last name. No origin file. Just Trout—a small girl with a mismatched wardrobe, scuffed boots, and eyes that see too much. She was found in a derelict corridor outside an abandoned lab, clutching a lollipop and humming a song no one recognized.

She doesn’t speak often. But when she does, no one questions it. It never feels like a guess. It feels like memory.

On the Moirai, she drifts between roles: co-pilot shadow, wiring apprentice, quiet observer. She braids Morgan’s hair. She sits by Shin when he’s thinking. She sleeps curled up near the engine core, as if it dreams too.

The crew isn’t sure what she is. A stray? A prodigy? Something older in a borrowed shape?

But she belongs to them now. And they to her.

Fun Fact: Has never lost a game of hide-and-seek. Once told Rigo his own birthday. He hadn’t remembered having one.

 

OUTLIERS & OATHBREAKERS

Some carry pasts. Some carry warnings. All ended up on board.

 

Shinobu “Shin” Casarin

Role: Empath
Age: 32
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 145 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio (You’ll never know how close he came to breaking. That’s the point.)
Favorite Drink: Plum wine—never more than half a glass
Theme Song: My Body is a Cage - Arcade Fire
Specialty: Psychic extraction, emotional subterfuge, truth drawn with surgical calm

Bio:
Shinobu Casarin was trained on Avalon—raised in the shadow of the Assembly, shaped by Nuada d’Argent’s clinical vision. A Third Tier empath turned precision weapon, he was never quite Guardian, never quite free. At sixteen, they called it service. He called it exile.

Now aboard the Moirai, Shinobu watches more than he speaks. Reads more than he reveals. His voice is soft, his touch careful, and his mind a blade honed on grief. Mitsu calls him a liability. Morgan calls him a manipulator. Trout just sits beside him like she understands.

He never asked to be part of this crew. But he hasn’t left.

Fun Fact: Knows the scent of every crewmember’s baseline emotion. Brek smells like burnt metal. Mitsu smells like a storm trying not to break. Hiro smells like tea left steeping too long.


Morgan le Freya

Role: Guardian (retired?)
Age: 35
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 152 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Aries (Built as a weapon. Still learning how to be a person.)
Favorite Drink: Cold brew with protein powder
Theme Song: Dynasty – MIIA
Specialty: Tactical assault, leadership override, controlled obliteration

Bio:
Morgan le Freya was once the Guardian Commander they called the Morrígu. Executioner in all but name. Known for impossible missions—and even harder decisions. The First Tier shaped her. The Guardians praised her. And when they sent her to die, she survived instead.

Now aboard the Moirai, Morgan is a woman out of step with herself. Her spine still clicks into parade rest. Her voice still commands a room. But something broke in her after Avalon—and it wasn’t just her faith.

She doesn’t trust easily. Doesn’t joke. Doesn’t flinch.

But she braided Trout’s hair once. And didn’t leave after.

Fun Fact: Has memorized every Moirai crewmember’s combat profile—but keeps Shin’s file in a locked box, unopened.


Charybdis “Char”

Role: Assassin. Oracle. Shah of Knives.
Age: Unknown (appears mid-40s; fights like myth)
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 195 lbs
Zodiac Sign: Leo (Nine lives; nine knives—and none drawn lightly.)
Favorite Drink: Gokenin’s Shadow. Neat.
Theme Song: Believer – Imagine Dragons
Specialty: Stealth infiltration, kill-order execution, prophecy through blood

Bio:
Bred for shadows. Raised in blades. A catman of the Ninth Pride, Charybdis earned every scar—and every title: infiltrator, gokenin, myth. Once, he served a noble house. Once, he took an oath to a boy with storm-colored eyes.

Then that boy vanished. And Char was left with nothing but knives—and a name no one else spoke.

Now aboard the Moirai, he is both weapon and ghost. He prowls its corridors with too-quiet steps, vanishes for days, and returns with intel no one asked for but everyone needed. He speaks rarely. Smiles even less.

But when Mitsu is in danger, Char moves like gravity forgot to hold him.

Fun Fact: His ship was named The Ninth Vow. He never speaks of the other eight.
