• Portable medical tools
• Medical personal protective equipment - Standard PPE for medical use
• Personal smartphone - One of the latest models from one of the larger personal tech corporations, she mainly uses it to stream her favorite shows, read her favorite books, and occasionally game on the go

Personality: Kaede is laid back most of the time, sometimes to the point to the point where some people might call her lazy, but she gets the job done all the same. The only time where she drops the laid back, easy going facade is when dealing with severe medical situations yet still maintaining a reassuring attitude.

• Venusian Medical Alumni - Kaede attended and graduated from one of the top universities for medicine on Venus, with the medical knowledge to prove it
• Medical Practitioner - Has the skills and capabilities to diagnose and treat most common ailments
• Steady hands - A necessity in both balancing a tray full of food and working on the operating table
• People person - Talking to both patients and hungry customers are all part of the job
• Get Good - "You wouldn't expect a doctor to be this good at games, now did you?"

Background:
Kaede was born and raised on Venus, having been terraformed to permit human habitation. However, the planet still has a ways to go before the day where it can truly call itself "Earth's twin." It is on this backdrop, where most of Venus's heavy industry was focused on the terraforming effort, that Kaede grew up. It was not an uncommon sight to see many terraforming workers develop serious and oftentimes life long conditions due to the nature of their work, being an ever-present public health crisis on the planet. And seeing how Kaede's father himself works in the terraforming industry, it has always been a public health matter that is close to Kaede's heart, pushing her onto the path of medicine. When she got her bachelor's, Kaede went on to attend one of Venus's top schools of medicine. Upon graduating as Dr. Nakano, and with encouragement from her family to "get out there and see the galaxy," she began to serve on a few starships' medical crews for a few years until eventually finding herself serving on a certain star-faring establishment.

[PixelSymphony]

Role: Navigation/Counter waitress
Name: (Sr.) Val'sharra "Val" Nightshroud
Age: 24(?)
Gender: Female
Height: 5'2"
Race: Felstari
Planet Origin: Hymnalia

General physical description: With stark white hair, intense red eyes, and pale skin, there is little doubt as to Val's heritage even without the characteristic horns and spade-tipped tail. Slim but lithe, with a stance at once both relaxed and ready to act at any moment.
Cybernetic Augmentations: None

Personal equipment:

Universal Comm Device - Essentially a super-duper smart phone. Manages to get signal on most planets... somehow.
Vintage music player - Salvaged from a trash heap on some planet they stopped at for fuel, it mostly now plays old jazz and big band standards.
Mysterious box - A wide, flat reinforced case sitting under her bed, locked beyond all belief. What in the world would a former nun posses that requires such security?
Skirt set: A semi-formal vest and skirt set that is Val's normal wear.
Diner uniform: Just as vintage as the music player, Val figures if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Personality: At first introduction she is surprisingly warm and friendly, her words seasoned with a touch of mischievousness and a surprising amount of equivocation and double entendres for someone raised under church auspices. Always confident in her abilities, and possessing an iron will, she is willing to see things through no matter what.

Skills:

Scout - A natural-born pathfinder, Val has a preternatural ability to know where she is in relation to the land around her. She has since expanded this to navigating through the universe like a sea of stars.
Faster than the Eye - Val's agility and reflexes are astounding. Her coffee pours are the stuff of legend, with dozens of mugs filling up in the matter of seconds all possessing a volumetric precision generally reserved for chemical experiments, and the number of times she's caught an errant plate falling from a shelf in mid-air is uncanny.
Conversationalist - While the jury's still out in whether Val is an extrovert or just a highly trained introvert, it's clear she's pretty good at talking to people.
Mixologist - The range of drinks that Val has created at the diner's coffee bar range from delicate and exquisite foam topped lattes with customized pictures drawn in them, to military-grade rocket fuel with enough caffeine to blow a hardened spacer's socks off. And that's not even getting started with the tea blends she has on hand...

Background: Like many who initially end up ultimately devoted in service to their Creator, Val grew up a ward of the church: an orphan of unknown lineage in the care of one of their several humanitarian branches. When she became of age, she chose repay the kindness by joining in holy service, setting off to the church's central facility to begin her training. Her devotion was tested thoroughly, with strict tutelage combined with rigorous training eventually rewarding her with the title of "Sister". She began her service immediately, full of righteousness and devotion... only to suddenly leave it all behind and escape into the cosmos looking for work. Since then Val is hesitant to speak of the details of her former occupation, and despite her clear continuing devotion to her cause, her relationship with the exact tenets of her faith can best be described as "troubled".

Trivia: Wary of large organizations, in particular those with an authoritarian bent.
Very big fan of whiskey, favorite drink is a Hot Toddy
Likes long walks through forests
Eagerly sings along with any catchy tunes selected on the diner jukebox.
Tends to stare out of windows wistfully when she thinks nobody is looking

✯ Lokerin Desai ✯
​

✯ Role: Combat Systems Engineer and Gun Commander / Prep Cook

✯ Gender: male
✯ Height: 5'6
✯ Race: Verderen
✯ Planet Origin: Zulveu, he lived in the city Dacara

✯ General physical description: Loki falls right about at average height for a Verden his age. His skin is a greenish shade and his eyes are golden, typical characteristics of the Verden. He has long green-colored hair he swears he's genetically blessed with (don't mind the stack of hair care bottles hidden in that closet, he doesn't know what those are...). His usual style resembles that of a human cowboy, when he's not forced into diner uniform.

✯ Cybernetic Augmentations: none

✯ Personal equipment:
- cowboy hat (he won it in a card game)
- handheld game console
- solar-powered laser gun (he keeps it in a brown leather holster on his belt)

✯ Personality: Loki is very outgoing and has a witty sense of humor. Growing up on his own forced him to develop a sense of craftiness; he can think quite well on his toes and talk/fight his way out of sticky situations. His charm enabled him to get close to people in his pick-pocketing and betting days. He loves adventure and prefers to jump head-first into things rather than reason logically through every possible outcome. He is easily excitable and energetic. He is very protective of his friends and won't hesitate to stand up for what he believes is right.

✯ Skills:
- marksman
- pick-pocketing
- charming/friendly persona that wins a lot of people over

✯ Verderen Traits/Abilities:
- green-colored skin, gold-colored eyes, & pointed ears
- empath abilities: the genetic ability to feel another being's emotions when physical contact is made
- chlorokinesis: the genetic ability to manipulate plantlife (though Loki never cared to develop this ability, so the most he can do on command is speed up the growth process a bit)

✯ Background: After losing his parents at a young age, Loki had to learn to support himself. Surviving off pick-pocketing tourists in Dacara and betting on card games only got him so far, though. His dream was to travel the cosmos, going on grand adventures and helping people; like the cowboys he idolized in those old human western movies. When the opportunity to join a crew aboard a traveling diner presented itself, he couldn't refuse.

✯ Trivia:
- he LOVES old human western films
- he is extremely good at card games and just about any video game

Eira Hathaway

Role: Researcher (more on archaeology) / Line Cook
Age: 18 years old
Gender: Female
Height: 5'3 feet
Race: Human
Planet Origin: Neptune



General Physical Description: Eira has long wavy stark white hair that goes all the way down to the small of her back. You can find her hair up most of the time, whether that be in a ponytail or bun. However, if it's a special occasion or she has some downtime, she tends to don intricate braiding patterns. She's quite thin making people believe that she doesn't eat enough, which is the farthest thing from the truth (she just has an incredibly fast metabolism). Her wardrobe consists of a lot of dark colors in comparison to her pale complexion and light-colored hair.

Cybernetic Augmentations: None
Personal equipment:

• Dangling Pearl Earrings (serves as her database, and contains all of her and her family's research)
• Diner Uniform (her chef's coat)
• Leather-Bound Journal (quite the old-fashioned way of keeping information, but she enjoys writing)
• Watch (always good to know the time)
• Necklace (gold necklace with her family crest on it)

Personality:

• Meticulous (always thorough in everything she does)
• Soft-Spoken (she may not be shy, but her voice isn't very loud)
• Curious (she loves to ask questions and discover new things)
• Friendly (she tries to be nice to everyone she sees)
• Homebody (doesn't like leaving the ship very often, not great at combat in the slightest)

Skills/Trivia:

• Photographic Memory
• Amazing Cook (loves to do it in fact)
• Great Braider (her hair is an exhibit of that fact)
• Has a very pale complexion due to the very low temperatures on Neptune

Background:
The Hathaway family line withstood the test of time. Eira doesn't even know how far her family roots go back, but they seem to be present ever since the very beginning of history. Her family was always known for their artifacts, whether that be actually finding them or collecting them. Due to this, they've accumulated quite a bit of wealth, which only aided them in the hunt for artifacts.

Soon, the world expanded. New planets were ripe for exploration. As you can guess, the Hathaways were very eager to be some of the first people to get out there. Once the human race scattered across the galaxy, so did the Hathaways. With their family being quite large, it seemed like there was a Hathaway on every major planet.
