Sorry, wanted to save some of the details for later. From the stories she was told as a kid, the settlers of New Iowa crossed space in covered wagons with Monopoly being the only way to pass the time. And the Imperial Navy didn't make her into a warrior-elite fighter pilot on a ship of the line, she was doing grunt work on an aging repair ship. The eggs were for her mother, worried something would happen and Lara wouldn't be able to have kids when she got out.

I'll work on a civilian character.

@Expendable

Eh, I was less worried about the skillset, and more... it'd be weird if everyone had similar backgrounds? Overall it was fine, just that one point. xX

@RickyG85 Ah, yeah, that was my mistake, really sorry about that; I got confused about who's who and the ordering. And I'm sorry it took so long to respond, I was… well, sleeping. Which I should have done before accepting… :(

@Expendable To refer to the mess just above from my own confusion, I'm trying to not have the cast be entirely ex-military. There's going to be plenty of non-military institutions that'd kick you out for picking fights – I've mentioned civilian freight a lot; those are massive conglomerates/merchant guilds.

Her eggs are in storage at a fertility clinic in New Iowa & ship's medlab.

That's… kind of a weirdly specific detail to have.

(And I'm willing to give the monopoly thing a pass, but I'm going to point out that this is thousands of years in the future, at minimum; do try and keep that in mind when it comes to specific things that exist now)

@InfamousGuy101 That's accepted (I'd add the caveat that this is not Imperium of Man levels of callousness, at least universally, but yeah, empires are gonna empire) xD

@RickyG85 That's... not. The weird copycat idea is just... what?

@InfamousGuy101 Feel free. As I said, it's a very big galaxy; there's not been anything that's flared up across the length of it, but local actions...

Why not title this Laurentia's Run?

@Expendable

Dunno, that feels presumptuous. I'll probably overthink it way more. xD

What sort of tech is allowed, seeing how this is a merchant ship, not necessarily a merc ship with the space for mecha suits.

Do crew have their own cabins? Share a cabin, just have bunks, or hot bunking?

Aside from caster guns and their expensive shells, what sort of personal weapons may the crew carry?

Is the ship itself armed? Are major weapons hidden? Grappler guns?

What sort of cargo is the ship taking on?

What do people wear on Earth and in the colonies? Is it all conventional? Seeing how there's magic, do some opt to wear a lot of robes?

Okay, in order...
1. Honestly, I'm not going to be too restrictive. It's more a matter of "where did you get it" (although Rin'a already got the mech angle covered). It's not necessarily a merchant ship, either; it's more generalised than that.

2. Individual or shared. The crew size is limited by the number of berths.

3. Mmm, I wasn't thinking like Outlaw Star levels of cost there – more that they're like the #4; use is gonna be restricted by being draining to the caster (and not all wave motion guns). Personal weapons... well, the tech level available is widely variable. Coilguns more often than gunpowder, but energy weapons of various degrees of reliability, complexity, and damage, or just go for some form of melee weapon with the same logic.

4. Yes, it's armed, but not super heavily; it ain't a warship (or pirate vessel). No, it does not have arms xD

5. Depends what the job is. Generally gonna be more value-oriented (or speed) than bulk freight; not the room for that.

6. Honestly, whatever; the galaxy is huge and fashion is going to be dependent on where you are. Earth proper? Well, take a look at the world NOW, it's not gone any less varied.

But the navy does go in for the retro naval look (this is not a coincidence), I like that.

Nope. Actually really fitting. @InfamousGuy101

From Elisandre's polite clapping and the way Maletha was just staring at the broom, it was clear that this was more well-0received than it had been by the Moonlit Queen. Of course, the distraction could only hold so long before Elisandre politely asked, "And was that it? Your achievements pleased the Queen so much that she returned the Duke's wits?"

Tyaethe muttered something that sounded like 'I can be scary too', but slipped into a seat beside Gretchen. Haizea seemed hesitant to sit again until the vampire levelled a sullen-looking glare at her, which was enough for the Hundi to cave and sit at an angle, nervously scratching at her chin.

"Oh, it's just a little illness, Aimada's just overprotective," Despite the confidence with how Haizea said that, paying attention to her tail and how just the tip was twitching gave away her true feelings on the matter. Not that it mattered with Tyaethe sat there, ready to provide the much more blunt explanation.

"It's her heart. Some of it's just from how she was born, some of it is curse damage," the vampire explained, not looking at either of them, "It doesn't beat right and sometimes misses them entirely."

"Yaya…" Now she was pouting.

The paladin was unmoved, though still not looking their way, "What? Gretchen and Gertrude might have an idea how to help, then you could join in. I can't, not in a way Reon would approve of…"

Oh, yeah, I have no objections to it, go ahead.
