I have come around to thinking that unless they are hardened military types who would die rather than be captured, they were each individually ambushed by the bodyguard and his team mate after they broken in through the airlock. So ... I could see these working, but I agree -- its more believable if they are less combat types. Those crew will show up eventually I am sure -- someone had to hear gunshots in the cargo hold!

Hi all! I just recently joined Patreon and caught up on the comic today. Very cool stuff, kudos to everyone who's been into this co-creation so far! I've enjoyed watching the comics evolution as I caught up. The poll mentioned an eventual crew of 6, but it seems we are just picking the first two, the captives? I like how Raven Leclaire has fleshed out! I also vote for pilot as an officer more likely to be captured. Maybe his first name could pay homage to one of our gun-bunny Traders? Slayernz Song... Lol, nah, they'd never take him alive. Never mind the Quadrant would implode if slayernz were SS!

capthawk - great votes! These first two are the only ones who the Bounty Hunter has captured, but there are 3-4 others on the boat somewhere. I've taken your votes down on Raven Leclaire and the Ace Pilot. Giving the last name Song is perfect, we just need a first name. I don't want to cause the end of the world, so I am going to avoid Slayer Here is the run down on the current voting. FEMALE OFFICER Unnamed- tradesman / diplomat - well connected, especially in legitimate jobs / deals / cargo - a bit naive, been kept out of the Captain's occasional smuggling, so far she's been willing to look away and ignore - Loyalty to Captain Avenira is a big trait - This is her first life-threatening experience (Insert first name) Song-First officer (as in, the manager of the ship) -A logistics wizard, can plan anything with exacting detail (positive trait) -Tends to be a bit bigoted, looks down on clans/syndicates other than her own, but particularly dislike Javat as she thinks they're blue color slobs (negative trait) -Moonlights as the face of the ship, working out deals and generally gathering intel, she's silver-tongued (positive trait) -Has a "soft heart," tends to be sucked in by con artists with sob stories. Naive (negative traits) Female - Raven Leclaire (x2 VOTES)- Medical Officer with an obsessive love of studying the quadrants Flora and Fauna, Always badgering the captain to land on this god for saken rock or that for her hobby. Despite this she is one of the most highly skilled medical proffessionals in the quadrent. - Highly respected by the rest of the crew as she has saved their lives more than once, whether an ice collection accident or battle injuries. - Petite yet fit and strong (from those meandering biology expeditions) with short hair and a calm reassuring face. - Never falters or hesitates to help her wounded comrades or the innocent even at the risk of her own skin and fiercely loyal to her captain. - Never shuts up about this plant or this bug or that microbe!!! Don't give her too much Vudka though, annoying drunk MALE OFFICER Unnamed (x3 VOTES, needs a name) - Ace pilot - Fearless when flying and in teh face of death - Has lots of experience, must have come up through a military somewhere - Phobic of strangers and crowds (stuttering, uncoordinated around them), is only really comfortable on his ship with his crew - Takes almost sadistic pleasure in scaring the sh*t out of his crew with absurd yet brilliant maneuvers and will likely be the death of his captain, not with a crash but through stress Nikolai "Nik" (Insert last name)-Ship's Mechanic -Tends to be abrasive due to being a bit of a neat freak/organizer (negative) -Very proud of himself, takes personal offense at advice/criticism/questions (negative) -Macgyver-esque in his ability to cobble together tools/repair things. (positive) -Lots of connections in starports, he's an older and well traveled dude!

Looks like we are trending toward the pilot and the medical officer here!

Oh whoops I pulled the Song last name from another officer anyway. Sometimes I name my characters after, or using a derivative of, someone famous in their field. (Suggested name):
Pilot name: Yaeger ( or Jaeger, etc.) Aielion ( aviation term)
I'm good at completely made up too if we ever want a name pool type thing I'll throw in a few.

Pilot "Zippo" Mitchell
Like the name Raven LeClair for the female, but still rooting for my Tradesman/Diplomat idea the the Doctor is a very good second option.

Awesome nickname for an ace pilot who loves to freak out his Captain with antics. It looks like so far the medical officer is winning in the votes. Hoping to see a few more Patreons weigh in
