**Lime** is the ship’s eccentric, somewhat paranoid engineer. A doomsday prepper and conspiracy theorist who believes in goblins, aliens, and other wild threats, Lime is often dismissed as crazy but turns out to be surprisingly on the right track about the danger—smart and stupid at the same time. They have “squish-bone syndrome” (which lets them crawl through the vents in ways the others can’t) and spend a lot of time hidden in the vents “fixing” things… or just chilling, sometimes lighting candles in there. Lime wears a dark green bandana tied around their head and stained olive-green overalls with visible dirt marks, usually a bit hurt too (which worries Blue deeply, but Lime doesn't trust Blue to help, so half the time unless there's a medical emergency if you ended medbay you'll see Blue holding open the vent and calling out to Lime to come so he can actually treat his wounds... Purple has had to drag Lime there on multiple occasions).

**Blue** (often called the “hot doctor” by Lime) is the ship’s capable and charismatic doctor. Knowledgeable, poetic, and genuinely kind with a heart of gold, he stands out as the most competent and level-headed members aboard the Skeld. Blue wears a white lab coat over a light blue collared shirt and dark tie, with a medical head mirror/light on a white headband. Blue is usually calm and organized, especially if someone is hurt or sick. Usually the second one though. IF anyone is sick, they will be moved to Medbay, put on one of the beds, and forced to stay there until they're better!

**Red** is the kind but clumsy and somewhat dense captain of The Skeld. A people-pleaser at heart, he projects confidence while secretly panicking and playing video games in the cockpit during free time. Red wears a formal captain’s uniform—dark red jacket with gold accents, matching pants, and a peaked captain’s hat with a gold band—and is often seen giving a thumbs-up.

**Purple** is the no-nonsense Chief of Security on The Skeld. Sarcastic, suspicious, and dedicated to safety, they spend much of their time monitoring the (often malfunctioning) cameras and calling out problems, all while maintaining a dry, wet-blanket vibe. Purple wears a dark security uniform with a collared shirt, tie, and a glowing yellow badge on the chest, topped with a dark peaked security cap and a sharp, slightly smug expression.

**Brown** is the second ship cook on The Skeld and Yellow’s calm, supportive best friend. More introverted and level-headed than their fiery counterpart, Brown is chill, accountable, and prioritizes justice—often backing Yellow’s union-loving, anti-corporate rants while staying out of the spotlight. They wear a simple pale yellow chef’s hat and a matching plain apron with a couple of faint stains, usually holding a ladle.

Orange is the overly cheerful Head of Human Resources for the MIRA Corporation (the corporation they all work for) aboard The Skeld. A spineless corporate shill who’s fiercely loyal to company guidelines, they constantly enforce rules, hand out “trust balls,” and put quotas and protocol above the crew’s well-being—while maintaining an relentlessly upbeat, welcoming demeanor! Outside of work or on break, they are just a sweet person, can't help doing anything about they job but enforce it and protocol.

Green is a the eager, naive unpaid intern who’s new to The Skeld. Coming from a humble worm-farm background, Green is plucky, keen to please, always ready to help with whatever they’re told, and just happy to be there—getting “paid” in pizza and dreaming of one day piloting their own ship. Awkward, optimistic, and stuck at the bottom of the corporate hierarchy. Their cheerful “I’m an unpaid intern but happy to be here!” energy provides a lot of the early comedy and heart.

Cyan is the sweet, optimistic hippie gemologist (and crystal healer) on The Skeld. Paired with the cynical Black as research partners, Cyan is all positive energy—believing in astral signs, tarot, crystal healing, and good vibes—creating a classic yin-yang dynamic that brings a lot of comedy. They’re enthusiastic about their work with the ore shipments and try to spread positivity no matter what happens, and how different everyone is. But that doesn't stop them!

Black is the goth geologist on The Skeld. Cynical, stoic, coarse, and morbid with a “prefers rocks to people” attitude, Black is the polar opposite of their bubbly research partner Cyan. They’ve lost passion for the job and often come across as annoyed or hostile, especially toward Cyan’s crystal-healing, spiritual vibes. Black supervises the ore and provides a grounded, sarcastic counterpoint to the crew’s chaos. Their dynamic with Cyan evolves over the series as the Impostor threat forces reluctant teamwork. They do get along with Purple and Yellow because all all share the 'get away' vibe.
