The year is 2479. Humanity has advanced in many ways, and the progress of medicine and a mostly peaceful world has lead to the population growing by a lot. Project ElbowRoom is the solution. The mission of the ships and crews in ElbowRoom is to find habitable planets that would make colonies possible.

One such ship is the Olympus. Contrary to its name, it's a relatively small ship, with enough room for about 4 crew members and equipment. The team that's been put together are highly skilled individuals, with enough skills to handle the rigors of space exploration and planetary surveying.

You are one of the 4 crewmembers onboard the Olympus.

Backstory (optional):

Name: Romulus Vespasian
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance: Rom is 6'6"/2m tall and weighs roughly 300lbs/136kg, making him pretty muscular and imposing. He keeps his platinum blonde hair cut short around the sides and back, but roughly 6" long on top, usually rocking a fauxhawk. His eyes are an icy blue, and his left one has a large scar running diagonally across it down to his cheek, making him blind in that eye. He has a square jaw and a Roman nose, and was considered handsome at one point, before multiple breaks to his facial bones messed him up. He tends towards black, grey, and red in his other clothing choices, colors which contrast with his pale complexion. His time as a military security officer have left his upper body covered in small scars. He typically wears what look like black jeans over his black boots. His helmet/mask (while flying) is a classic Centurion's helmet, with some modifications. It has no plume; there is an open strip over the top of his head, and his fauxhawk sticks out as the plume. It also has metal strips connecting the two side pieces to cover his face, up to his eyes, which he leaves visible. There is a black glass visor that covers his eyes if he needs it. The entire helmet is black and highly reflective, made of an osmium/titanium alloy. The helmet can be collapsed down to just a collar, with plates covering his face up to the eyes. He has a voice modulator that makes his voice gravelly and deep, more of a rumble. His boots are actually greaves that extend up to his knee when in a fight. He also wears gauntlets which come up to his elbows. These are the made of the same black osmium/titanium alloy and are cybernetically connected through his helmet. The gauntlets and greaves have various abilities, such as extending plates to form shields or extend Rom's reach, or increasing density to add extra power to his punches. They double as armor and weapons, but are tiring to use, which is why Romulus is so strong. The black jeans mentioned earlier are micro-chain mail, but no cybernetics; they just function as armor. His voice modulator can also be used as a sonic weapon.
Desired Role: Captain, Security, Survivalist
Personality: Romulus is friendly and open, largely because he generally feels he has nothing to fear. He has an intense focus when he's working on something, but is otherwise fun-loving. He's got a strong protective streak, particularly for his crew, which he sees as his family. He definitely gives off big brother vibes.
Backstory (optional): Overpopulation meant that the Vespasians were homeless when Romulus was born. To give him a better life, his family sent him to join the Space Force at a young age, and he signed an agreement that he would stay in the service till his 40th birthday, in exchange for schooling, housing, and food. He made a name for himself in combat sports on the base, and used that experience to get assigned to Planetary Security. However, when the opportunity to join Project ElbowRoom came, he jumped at it.

Name: Alaina de Lugo
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance: Alaina is a Latina woman who is 5’2”, weighs around 115 lbs, and has a slightly curvy build. She has thick, wavy brown hair and almond shaped hazel eyes. Her facial features are very soft, giving her a more innocent look to contrast with her personality. When she’s not wearing her space gear, Alaina often dresses in sweaters, turtle necks, and dress pants. She also has an assortment of very colorful pants with flower patterns that she enjoys wearing on occasion. Alaina, while she keeps herself very neat and tidy, often has cuts all over her hands from her work, and she has a small scar on her upper lip.
Desired Role: Engineer/Tech Specialist
Personality: While she can come off as very quiet at first, Alaina is very talkative around those she is comfortable while her demeanor normally stays fairly calm. She’s often considered the therapist of her group and is good at listening. She hates conflict. Alaina reads a lot of books, and she’s somewhat of a romantic person.
Backstory: I prolly won’t do it now since I haven’t thought of one yet xD

(not a problem, I got work. No pressure from me as long as it shows up eventually ;) and yes Simon! Absolutely! :D )

(Yay! I'll get my character up in the morning :))

Name: Micaiah (Mica) Katz
Age: 22
Gender: Mystery (they/them)
Appearance: Mica is about as small as a spacefarer is allowed to be, around 5'4" with only the bare amount of muscle required to stay fit for high gravity situations. Their dark, curly hair falls past their shoulders, and is rarely ever brushed, leading to tangles and wisps flying at all angles. They have black, hooded eyes, an aquiline nose, and high cheekbones, giving them a sharp look. They dress almost exclusively in shades of brown and white, typically with a pair of small, angular glasses or sunglasses resting low on the bridge of their nose. They prefer to wear boxy or loose fitting clothing that hides their figure, and are rarely seen without a dark pair of gloves that cover everything but their fingertips. They are an unfortunately clumsy person, and are usually decorated with scrapes and bruises of various sizes.
Desired Role: Cartographer/Geologist
Personality: Mica is overly talkative, almost always making some kind of noise to fill any silences. They are very energetic, especially when working on or talking about geology. Their favorite rock is fluorite, and they will do anything to talk about its properties and locations.
Backstory (optional): Grew up a traveler, with eclectic parents and a crowd of siblings. Was more used to sleeping bags than beds for most of their life. (Will fill out more later)
