OKAY HI NOW THAT IM AT A COMPUTER I CAN ACTUALLY REPLY TO THIS
so i have four rn, here we go. jim wu/fidra, whiskey sour gunner and idiot muscley baby deer. he's like, if luka were slightly less bro-y, didn't have nate, wasn't cool, and wasn't a literal animorph. tbh i think he is a little in love with mercy, but like, FROM A DISTANCE, because he doesn't want to piss her off. he is also a little in love with most either really nice or really capable women so don't worry mercy. other than that, they'll probably be friendly (while he secretly *___* at her when she's turned away)! he makes a point of being chill with the other gunners, plus they're roughly the same age and only a year apart in graduating class.
amanda hemingway/oxides, ss engineer and all around asshole drunk with a stick up her butt about literally anyone who seems to have their shit together. HOWEVER she does have kind of a soft spot for her crew? kind of??? and i think she'll actually like mercy for the most part! mercy can be like. the voice of reason and restraint when amanda is being an unrepentant asshole. idk i just want them to have a weird sister vibe because amanda desperately needs any voice of reason/people to care for in her life and u know my feelings on sisters...
i also have sahra bhatt/geminid (tequila sunrise pilot, all around good-natured flirt and boy-ogler) and beth bristol/imperatora (kamikaze captain and militant human robot) but i'm not sure if they'd have plot with mercy. YET
