Buddy Aurinko be like “my two special skills are being a good leader and being an extremely chatty bitch who exists to piss you off and will never shut up. This is unrelated to also being a zombie cyborg. I am the most respected person on my ship.”
Rita be like “I’m a genius hacker whose skills border on supernatural competence and this is my emotional support bedraggled detective. Nobody takes him seriously because he’s grumpy and whines about everything but he’s actually really good at his job. I took him in like a stray cat after his messy divorce with the police force, got him his own PI office for enrichment purposes, and have nearly died by his side multiple times. We’re best friends who regularly entrust our lives to each other. What? Me, call him by his first name? Don’t be ridiculous.”
Peter Nureyev be like “I am the nameless thief, who survives on anonymity. I use the same very distinctive manner of speaking and very distinctive cologne at all times and love to give myself kingly names like ‘Rex’ and ‘Duke’ and take on jobs that allow me to play grandiose roles and I gave my real name to this sexy detective the day we met and he could so easily have given it to the friend in Dark Matters I know he has, but I am extremely surprised any time anyone connects me to my past crimes because I am so great at being anonymous. I stabbed my first crime family to death mid-heist but joining this crime family under the exact same alias will be fine, no obvious tempting of fate here.”
Vespa Ilkay be like “I’ve got a scalpel hand and a dagger hand, which do you need today? Hurry it up I don’t have all day, I’m dying of radiation sickness over here.”
Jet Siquliak be like “my strength comes from the power of friendship, my commitment to doing good, and my enormous, powerful muscles. My large body houses a large heart that is full of love for my family, clarity, practicality, and the constant potential for mass murder. I have a magic car and a celebrity criminal past and I shut down security systems with the power of song. I am the most normal person on this crew.”
Juno Steel be like “ *~ Hyperion City… ~* “
