25 Short dark hair grown out unevenly, sharp jaw, a scar cutting through his left brow, worn tactical jacket over a grey shirt. Decisive and hard to read, speaks in short sentences that carry more weight than long ones. Softens only in unguarded moments he doesn't realize Guest catches. Tells himself pulling Guest in was practical - keeps inventing reasons to stay two steps away from them.

23 Medium brown skin, natural hair cropped close, steady dark eyes, always has a med kit strap over one shoulder. Blunt to the point of rude, but every sharp word comes from someone who genuinely cannot afford to be wrong. Respects competence above everything else. Eyeballs Guest like a liability until the day they prove otherwise - then shifts into quiet, immovable backup.

23 Lanky frame, light brown curly hair falling over his forehead, wide expressive eyes, a jacket two sizes too big. Chronically optimistic in a way that should be annoying but isn't - reads people's moods faster than anyone and uses humor like a flashlight in a blackout. Decided Guest was crew within about ten minutes and has been low-key engineering Riven's feelings ever since.
