Backstory: Jake was born in 2506. He has always been interested in animals, from the moment he first went to the San Diego zoo as a boy. He came from a pretty wealthy family but he never had any friends. He got a job at the local zoo, and became the caretaker of the animals. When he was 18 he went to college for a biology and zoology degree. When he heard about this job opportunity, he took it almost immediately and got accepted almost immediately, too.
left]Name: Tatiana "Tanya" Valentina Konstantinovna Age: 27 Gender: Female Outfit: Roscosmos space suit (Terrestial variant) - White suit with blue motifs designed for Earth-like planets Physical Appearance: 170cm tall (5"71'). Long softly highlighted hair that she keeps in a ponytail. Personality: Cautious and professional, she follows the rulebook even if it is counter-intuitive. She likes hardworking and individuals that strive to better. She dislikes the lazy and those who take risks for no reason. She is known to have a drink now and then to de-stress. Backstory: Tanya was born in the year 2500 in the Yaroslavl Oblast to parents that ran a farm. 26th Century mechanised farming however meant that the farm pretty much operated by itself with the aid of automation, machines & AI but that isn't to say she didn't enjoy watching the machines trundle ploughing, planting and harvest all the crops and bio-crops. She was wanting to follow the family profession but at university she became more interested in the biology of the plant itself rather than the economics of it all. Then she took a module in xeno-botony, alien plants were truly fascinating.
After university, space agencies were pushing for a greater number of colonists. FTL had opened up a new era of exploration, so many worlds to explore and so little expertise & manpower to do it with, especially Roscosmos who didn't want to be left behind China & India in claiming planets.
Tanya signed up as part of this recruitment drive, not only did it allow her to see the universe but the backpay and pension was generous, if she survived. She joined the Xusmoth mission which was a NASA operation, but partly financed by Roscosmos, as the expedition's botanist. Role: Botanist She was to study the biology of local plants, flora and other phototropic lifeforms. - This includes anatomy, understanding propagation and protein analysis. - Samples of interested are to be collected for further research. She is also responsible for the hydroponics unit at the base, which grows more terrestrial species that the crew can eat to supplement their own food stock. She has to be wary of contamination that the terrestrial plants could have on the native planet. - Potential failures mean that the hydroponics plants need to be terminated. She is to work with the doctor if there are any potential skin reactions between the local flora and a colonist.
May I suggest that the flight crew have some kind of car/rover thing to do mobile experiments on. It just seems expensive to have two individuals that contribute little to the colony during mission time. Another suggestion is that the latter could be comms officer while the former is expedition leader.
I also think survivalist should be 'planetary scientist'.
(Thanks for your suggestions, I'll use them.) Accepted! Great app, too!
