Aegis - Humanity's Last Hope

Welcome to the game Aegis - Humanity's last hope. Here, you'll play the role of one of the crew members (not the captain, not even a bridge officer, just a normal and irreplaceable worker) of the multigenerational spaceship Aegis, tasked with colonizing a distant planet. This ship is your home, the only home you've ever known. You were born and raised here, and you are not letting some space anomalies destroy it.

Luckily, you aren't alone on your quest (you would probably die in your first battle). You have some friends (and possible lovers, woo-hoo) to watch your back, including but not limited to:

Nova Bianchi: Your best friend, an exobiologist, whose free time is entirely spent on studying extinct alien species (and maybe resuscitating some of them with genetic engineering, who knows?). They are almost always occupied with their work and barely talk, sometimes even ignoring you. They have been like this for as long as you can remember, but you grew up together, so you know that they are very sweet in reality, and, which is classified, also romantic at heart. AN: pronouns customizable (she/her, he/him, they/them)

Sasha Hawthorne: One of the many Navigators of the ship, though she insists that she is the best. She is the exact opposite of Nova, and you often wonder why they are still friends. She adores piloting, taking every chance to fly around Aegis in a small (and dangerously old) Glider. This is only one of their many dangerous hobbies, as she is completely addicted to adrenaline. Despite all this, though, she is very philosophical, their favorite book being the ancient "Beyond Good and Evil". AN: pronouns locked to she/they

Vaino Laine: Probably the most experienced Echomed on the ship. Xe programmed the most recent generation of Echos, which only xe doesn't think to be xyr achievement but the team's. You don't know much about xem, but judging based on your first encounter, xe is exactly like xyr reputation - extremely kind, empathetic and understanding (which are kind of requirements in xyr field of work), but extremely secretive about xyr personal life. AN: pronouns locked to xe/xem

AN: More characters are coming soon...

AN: This game is very much of a work in progress - currently, only Chapter I. is available. All feedback is much appreciated!
