Otaiku
Promachus
Promachus is a good friend of his, having known him before creating the group. His temper leaves a lot to be desired, of course. But Otaiku has found that in some cases, it can be helpful to make sure things get done. He hasn’t punched anyone on the team yet, at least. His 2nd in Command has a lot to work on, it’s true. But at the same time, the drive and efficiency does get things done for the group, it can even help to keep people in line at times. Otaiku respects him but also realizes that he needs to lighten up a bit.
Amos
Amos is a great 3rd Command, and just a really good person and friend of Otaiku’s. They’re good at keeping things in check without the fiery, volatile attitude of Promachus. He’s good at keeping the peace, and seems to have everyone’s best interest at heart. Plus, as a previously Defective caste? Amos is good to have so that they know more of how they’re treated. Overall, Amos is both a great friend and a tremendous asset.
Ash
Ash wasn’t exactly who Otaiku was expecting for a Chief of Security, if he’s being honest. Though he supposes now that someone as paranoid as Ash is might be best. He’d rather know of any and all potential threats, even if they end up actually being nothing. Regardless, Ash is cool. They’re obviously jumpy and anxious, but Otaiku certainly doesn’t mind their presence. He’s careful to make them feel secure and comfortable around the group, as much as he possibly can. The group is supposed to be a place for everyone, after all.
Raphael
Okay, so… Raph… Hm… Raph is… Awesome? Amazing? A little terrifying should someone decide not to listen to his medical advice? And a little cute..? Just a little! Otaiku is really fond of him, to put it simply. You’ll never catch Otaiku arguing with Raphael when it comes to anything medical. Whether that be potential risks caused by the group’s plans, advice, or ideas for any sort of treatment. Raphael is a great asset, and yeah, just a bit cute. He shall fear for those who decide not to take Raph’s advice though.
Beste
Beste, while being a good friend and a productive member of the group… Otaiku realizes that he’ll probably need to have a talk with her eventually about their messaging power and not sending random messages. Maybe he’ll have Beste go around one of these days and ask everyone who’s okay with them and who isn’t. That way, Beste can still send messages to people if she ever gets lonely or just feels like it without annoying too many people. Other than that though, Beste is great. Frankly, the random messages usually don’t bother him all that much.
Sol
Sol is another member that Otaiku hadn’t been expecting. For completely different reasons from Ash. A Chief Financial usually doesn’t mean kind, generous, and peace-keeping. Though Otaiku would be lying if he said that he wasn’t glad Sol had ended up different from what he’d been expecting. After all, Sol is great! It’s helpful having another peacemaker in the group, the last thing they all need is the group breaking from the inside.
Amory
Amory can be… Difficult, sometimes. Otaiku appreciates what he does for the group, recognizes that he does care and does make an effort to help everyone. He’s a good friend, on Otaiku’s side at least. The fact remains that Amory can be loud and temperamental, he’s similar to Promachus in that respect. But Amory is different from Gabe in that he doesn’t like the rules and only seems to listen to him most of the time. At least Amory listens to him at all. Though, Otaiku isn’t looking forward to when he’ll inevitably have to talk to him about listening to the others too. Or at least taking their perspective into consideration more.
Promachus
Otaiku
Otaiku is a great leader. If there was one complaint Promachus had about him, it would be how indecisive he can be at times. Though, he supposes that’s one of the reasons he’s Otaiku’s right hand. Regardless, Otaiku cares and gets things done. A hard duo to get right without being too much or too little of either. One that Otaiku seems to have no problem in being.
Amos
Amos is usually tolerable, at least more than some of the group can be at times. If he had to choose one of them to work with other than Otaiku, Promachus would probably choose Amos. Okay, fine. He’d definitely choose Amos. Just don’t tell Mos that he said that, or that he uses the stupid nickname for them sometimes. He doesn’t need Amos mentioning it to everyone else. Or anyone else even.
Ash
Promachus realizes that Ash has been through things, that his anger needs to be even less likely to appear with them, and he does try. After all, Ash is a great asset to the team and usually always productive enough to get their jobs done. But- But… Well, they’re kind of annoying..? Promachus is already walking on eggshells around the group, trying not to get upset. And now, with Ash, he’s basically walking on eggshells in a field full of hidden mines. In his opinion, he shouldn’t have to act any differently. Not that he says it, he does respect Ash enough to just leave it be. They are one of the more productive ones, after all.
Raphael
Promachus has dealt with his fair share of doctors, whether that be for cases or himself. And though he will never admit it, Raphael is one of the better ones he’s had to deal with. Not overly cheerful and not a coward when facing off someone larger who doesn’t want to listen. He personally made that mistake once, trying not to listen. Never again. He tried convincing Otaiku to take away anything Raphael could throw at people after, and had been unsuccessful. Raphael did earn his respect from this, though the medic already had some due to productivity.
Beste
Annoying. The only positive thing is that they can be productive. Sometimes. Not even most of the time! Just sometimes. Not to even mention how disorganized she tends to be! How does he keep track of anything? How do they keep a job? Is being an entertainer really that much easier? If so- Why is it even an option for Grations? Aren’t the castes supposed to be worse the lower one goes?... Regardless, Beste is annoying. The random messages especially. He’s had to stop himself from punching him multiple times. Luckily, he was successful.
Sol
Sol… Is tolerable, usually. They’re productive, usually. Though how unorganized Sol is can be annoying. At least they don’t respond to his annoyance by being even more annoying. Usually, Sol will at least consider what he says too. He’d prefer for them to listen without fail but given that practically no one does… He’ll take what he can get. For now, at least.
Amory
Promachus cannot stand him. Other than him being one of the more productive members? There are practically no positive things that he could possibly say about Amory. He’s loud, temperamental, disorganized, and rude to everyone. The only good thing that may actually get his respect, other than productivity, would be that Ampry cares about protecting the group.
Irfam
Irfam is a disorganized, unproductive, immature, impulsive, chaotic creature. That somehow has managed to worm his way through Promachus so well that he doesn’t mind their behavior. Too much, at least. It certainly hadn’t always been that way though. Irfam used to grind his nerves more than anyone. Until a few different days that made Promachus reevaluate them and end up worrying way too much about his well-being. He’s just glad that Irfam’s behavior is still annoying enough that it isn’t too obvious. When it comes to bringing Irfam into the group… Promachus recognizes that they’d be able to make hard decisions, wouldn’t always ask for permission for these decisions, and is probably smart enough
for the decisions to not be the absolute worst. At the same time, those same traits could end up just as bad as they would be helpful. He believes the moments where it counts will be more positive though, so he’s willing to give him a chance with the group.
Kostas
Promachus doesn’t really talk to Kostas too much, at least not as much as he talks to Irfam. But from what he has managed to gather, Kostas is productive, responsible, and organized. Which is great, as that means there would finally be someone else that cares about the rules! Regardless, he also sees the negatives that Kostas could bring to the group. His careful nature could keep him from making hard, split second decisions. Not to mention how much of a perfectionist Kostas is, which could also get in the way of decision-making. Promachus respects him though, at least enough to believe that these problems won’t get in the way of things the group does too much.
Raphael
Otaiku
Otaiku is amazing. Kind, patient, agreeable, and a huge, adorable dork. Raph’s pretty fond of him, especially since Tai doesn’t really ever argue with him when it comes to his medical advice. It doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated. Frankly, Tai is a lot of things that Raph sometimes wishes he could be. Not to even mention how much their leader helped him in the past. If he wasn’t so busy with keeping everyone alive all the time… Eh, maybe eventually?
Promachus
This guy needs to realize that just because he’s 2nd in Command doesn’t mean he can pick and choose when he’s going to listen to him. Sure, Promachus listens to him now, but there was no reason Raph should have had to threaten to throw a clipboard at his clavicle to break it in order to get him to do so. Other than that mishap though, Promachus is… Okay. They don’t talk much, which Raph doesn’t really mind. Talking to Promachus only when there’s work to be done that involves the other or when Promachus ends up in his medbay is fine by him.
Amos
Amos is fine, they’re obviously at least trying to help keep everyone from immediately dying. Which is nice. Raph isn’t too close with him, but he trusts Amos to not end up in his med bay every day. Which, you know, is about the best show of trust he can give someone.
Ash
While Raph hasn’t known them that long, it’s obvious enough that Ash has been through some things. As Chief Medical, he’s technically going to have to know at least some of these things eventually. But he’s already spoken to Tai, and he has until after they have all the people they need to start getting the information from everyone. So he’s got about that same amount of time to get everyone to trust him too. Raph doubts he can get Ash to trust him completely, ever. But for now, at least Ash doesn’t seem to be set into a panic at the mere sight of him. For now, that’s good enough.
Beste
Beste is alright, the messages can get annoying. Mostly just because Raph can’t respond though. He deals with Irfam on a (at the very least) weekly basis; it isn’t possible for Beste to actually manage to be worse. Regardless of what the others might think. Besides, at least Beste actually listens to him consistently.
Sol
Sol’s alright too, they usually listen to him. Except for sleeping, apparently. And he swears to everything that is good, if they don’t start listening to him about that then someone will end up with heart problems. Or multiple people, really, since not listening about sleeping is dangerous for the one that isn’t listening too. Not just the one giving advice that is continuously being ignored. Though, Raph’s probably still at risk, since even if everyone but Irfam started listening then the main idiot would still be a handful. Or five. Or twenty. Probably closer to a hundred actually. Other than not listening to him about their sleep schedule though, Sol is fine.
Amory
Amory is alright, the anger is similar enough to Promachus’s that Raph basically uses the same technique. Sarcasm, eye rolling, and a lot of questioning blank stares. But… Well. Amory needs to realize that his medical advice isn’t something to pick and choose what to listen to. And he’s this close(fingers touching) to telling him off. Literally, if the chance presents itself, Raphael might end up throwing something at him. Or getting Irfam to do something to all the cybernetic parts. His advice isn’t fucking optional, no rank gets to ignore it.
Irfam
Did someone ask for an injection of pure stress into their bloodstream? Because if so, Raphael’s got a delivery of stress that can follow you around instead of being injected. Their name is Irfam, and please help him learn how to not blow themself up or add new cybernetics whenever faced with a problem he doesn’t want to deal with. Raph would appreciate it. Seriously, please. If Raph has a heart attack, arrest Irfam and put him on trial for murder. Raphael isn’t sure if Irfam forgets what Raph tells them or if he just doesn’t care. Regardless, Irfam’s still a close friend. Which is probably part of why Irfam causes him so much stress.
Kostas
Kostas is alright, the only time that Raph really ever interacts with him though is when one of the two are dropping Irfam off(usually either to the hospital or back to the lab) seeing as Irfam isn’t actually allowed to drive. Regardless, whenever the two do talk and it isn’t tainted with stress, worry, or frustration concerning Irfam, Raph doesn’t mind his company. All conversations with Kostas end up being productive, responsible, and honestly pretty enjoyable.
Beste
Otaiku
Otaiku is really fucking cool! Like, Beste is pretty sure there’s never been a better leader. The dude’s a kind, chill, vibing peacekeeper. Plus, he doesn’t seem to mind the messages all that much either. Which is always a plus, obviously.
Promachus
Okay, Promachus obviously doesn’t like them. Which is fine, he just doesn’t know what he’s missing out on. As if Beste cares what this prick thinks about him. That being said, she’ll still listen to him when they think it matters to do so. Which it rarely does, so whatever. Luckily, the two don’t interact too often. Beste makes sure to send extra random messages to him, unless they know for a fact that he’s having a rough day. But that hasn’t happened yet, and she doubts it ever will. As if this uptight pos would ever be honest or open enough to let them all know that.
Amos
Amos is pretty cool, the two chill plenty. Frankly, Beste likes hanging out with him. He’s a whole ass vibe, in her opinion. Definite friend behavior. Not to mention how lucky they are to have Amos around and keeping them out of trouble when she doesn’t realize how much of it he’s actually in. That’s real nice of him.
Ash
Beste doesn’t hang out with Ash much, in all honesty. They make sure the messages she sends them are always nice though! Since Ash always seems kinda… Sad? Basically. Either way, Ash would probably be cool if he actually hung out with them.
Raphael
Raph’s cool, he can be funny with all his sarcasm, so that’s fun at least. But like, he can also be a bit overbearing sometimes. And all the yelling that takes place in the medbay is kinda annoying too. Sometimes, at least. She doesn’t really care all that much, in all honesty.
Sol
If Beste had to assign someone in the group the title of being their best friend? It’d be Sol, no doubt. Sol’s a great mix of chaos, chill, and peaceful that really does help to brighten up a room. Which makes sense, with their name meaning sun and all. Like, damn, Beste is totally going to have to start calling them Sunny one of these days. And they don’t even mind her random ass messages! So like, he definitely enjoys being around Sunny.
Amory
Damn, is this Promachus’s clone that missed the memo on rule obsessions or something? Like, seriously, what happened there? Did the machine malfunction partway through? Either way, Beste doesn’t really give a shit about whatever Amory thinks about them. She’s got better things to do than worry about what some stuck-up cop has to say about him.
Irfam
Promachus
Gabe!!! It’s Gabbie!! A bestie!! Despite this guy seeming like a total prick to most people, Irfam’s pretty sure he’s gotten good at reading the underlying expressions of disappointment, sarcastic teasing, and quarter-half-smiles… That being said, it wasn’t like that for a long time. Not until a few unfortunate days. Before that, Gabe couldn’t stand him. Now, Gabbie tries to pretend to be unable to stand him. But the glances and obvious making sure that Irfam remembers certain things also make it obvious that that's not the case anymore. Now, Irfam does know that Gabe doesn’t see him as a best friend, but well… Given how few people they talk to, Gabbie is a bestie to him at least.
Amos
One of his besties!! Amos is like, super cool! Everything that Irfam wished that he could be and more. Practically one of the only reasons they ever leave their home/lab. If there was one thing Irfam doesn’t really like about them? It’d probably be how worried Amos can get about him. They’re fine! Sure, they may have just lost most of his hand in an explosion again but he’s fine! Happens all the time! Nothing to be so worried about! But no, Amos is really cool.
Raphael
Ah, good old Raph! Irfam met him when Raph first became their doctor after… Well, after something that only Raph and him know he was in. Something that Irfam’s taken to calling ‘The Collapse’. When they actually mention it, that is. Regardless, Raph went from doctor to both a friend and their doctor. He’s super cool though! Fun to mess with too, especially from a hospital bed while Raphael’s grumbling over being careful or whatever it is that he grumbles about these days. Irfam kind of stopped listening after hearing the same thing for the seventh time.
Amory
Amory… Doesn’t seem to like them too much. Admittedly, Irfam doesn’t like them too much either! They can be a pain, take it from someone who deals with them on the daily! Haha… Still, in his opinion, Amory’s pretty cool. Irfam can ignore any and all comments or looks fairly well… Usually. Plus, a lot of it’s deserved.
Kostas
Honestly..? Their friendship is a bit strained nowadays… Not because of Kostas, of course! Irfam isn’t even sure that he notices… But, well… Knowing you’re the cause for who was once your best friend in the entire world not being able to feel the full range of emotions now? Knowing that you didn’t even do a full removal despite your friend’s wishes?... Kostas is still super cool! A great lab partner, a great friend! Honestly, Irfam’s still kinda surprised he trusted him enough to let them be the one to do the removal in the first place. He definitely trusts Kostas with their life, and would have no qualms in giving up said life for him.
