CREW APPLICATION
no subject
Character: Shadow
Invited by: Emet-Selch
Tell us a little about your character!
Temporary crew member as a mercenary of sorts. Claims to seek what this world has to offer from time to time.
He makes himself pretty scarce around the ship, usually staying in his assign cabin and only coming out when necessary. Pretty much all of his actions are basically only done out of necessity, so he will not be the type to break into small talks with others. He is intentionally making himself difficult to approach and he likes to spend much of his time alone. Although, he does tolerate Professor Turo and some can probably see them make casual conversation. His other spot crew members may find him frequent is on the floating garden, where there are patches of flowers. Generally more approachable when found here.

Character: Hythlodaeus
Invited by: the most illustrious Emet-Selch
Tell us a little about your character!
Resident bard and entertainer who also looks after the baby ambyshark they accidentally adopted. He is likely to be off somewhere during the day, but comes to the ship to sleep. Very sociable.
I'm unexpectedly tired and sleepy so words are hard so I'll add more later!no subject
Character: Professor Turo(AI)
Invited by: Dongfang(og captain) upon Rem(former crewmate)'s recommendation
Tell us a little about your character!
Turo is a matter-of-fact but friendly and helpful sort of man. He does speak more excitedly about science-y nerdy things because he just likes to share knowledge! That! Much! He really could spend hours talking nerdy and never get bored. Polite and mannerly, personable. Sometimes things like sarcasm may go over his head, but it is something has been learning to catch- it's a constant work in progress. There is also a part of him very willing to sacrifice himself if it is necessary and no other choice is really possible; the sort to keep himself between someone and potential danger with some confidence.
- Can be often found sitting somewhere in the open with a notebook, taking notes and possibly sketching what he is taking notes of if applicable.
- May be found cleaning up various areas if no one else is around to do so, without disturbing things that are being left out for a reason. Performing other 'busy work' such as that if there is nothing else that has his attention.
- Stargazing at very odd hours of the night, as if he doesn't sleep; also watching sunrises or sunsets on clear days/nights.
- Dapplewhisker often trails behind him when not dealing with rodent problems, or rides on his shoulders. May be found sitting or laying in odd places as if trapped underneath her as well if she is curled up on him and asleep. At times Mariposa also accompanies him.
- Looking over and tending to any of his pokémon, ensuring they are in good health and kept active so they don't get bored; they're robotic/metallic looking, this is fine but easily eye-catching. Along with other animals on board that remained onboard when owners vanished.
- Can also be found on the floating barge garden, given he started taking care of it just before the original captain vanished from Escordvi; set up a sprinkler system and a few closed off greenhouse like areas for certain plants requiring particular conditions to grow/thrive.

Character: Erichthonios
Invited by: Emet-Selch
Tell us a little about your character!
Erichthonios is an introverted man, tall and dark and almost always clad in the dark robes of the Amaurotine people. He typically comes across as nervous and shy, except when around others who are also struggling, in which case he does his best to be a supportive figure for them. Despite not being socially gregarious, he's very passionate about anything he invests himself in, and often worries about the well-being of others, though he will get snippy and dig in if he feels someone is being confrontational with him or mocking him in some way (even though he often belittles himself).
His poppet, an automaton resembling a miniaturized version of a friend of his from home, is almost always at his side. He often speaks to it as one might an actual person. He even calls it Little Themis, after his friend.
He is a non-24-hour sleeper, and will be up and about without respect to the day/night cycle. He can often be found in the library, immersing himself completely in the act of reading, or cooking something up in the ship's kitchen.
He tends to talk his way through his own thoughts, even if others are present, and is not fully versed in the practice of social standard norms even for his own culture.
His personal toiletries are almost nothing because he uses soap and only soap to wash up.
