i could really go for some space ramen tbh! theo here is the mechanic for paladin v and would likely be unaware of his black market dealings. the supplies he orders are boring and work-related. he's pretty easy to get to know so friendship is always on the table.
~gossipmongering is a second-year pilot cadet who excels in her classes but doesn't actually care that much about becoming an expendable hero. she can be frosty in person but goes by 'venus' online where she's a lot more personable. she also runs a buzzfeed-esque website for memes, quizzes, etc. she could potentially be an ex or current fling but no worries if someone of her personality type isn't his bag.
~deluder is a janitor with a secret. he knows most of what's going on and reports back to a high table subsidiary, focusing mostly on x-factored individuals. if he were to stumble across cael's side hustle, he wouldn't try putting a stop to it. live shady and let live shady. i'm sure there's an ultra-futuristic version of adderall he takes to avoid having to sleep on some nights. get him some in a pez dispenser, would you?
