hi millisa, welcome to the game!! I hope you enjoy it here 💞 I'm gabbie, playing the prim and pious victorian royal navy lieutenant john irving from AMC's the terror, and I'll definitely be interested in throwing them at each other at some point...! I feel like their personalities might gel pretty well actually, especially considering the similar (yet obviously also extremely different) career paths (and titles!), assuming they can get past the mutual culture shock first!

Hi Gabbie! I have seen The Terror and loved it, and I think it'd be brilliant to throw these two at each other at some point. You're right - similar ideals, very different contexts, and I'm all for playing out the culture shock and see how they get along. She might well have a moment of 'yay, a senior lieutenant!' when they're introduced, only to realise very quickly that he's not from her organization. You're on your own, Tayrey. ;) And I'm sure it'll be of interest to him to learn that she has never even heard of Christianity. Whatever happens, I'm sure it'll make for great CR. Looking forward to writing with you!

oh yeah, he will definitely have not a clue about her whole entire career branch tbh, but I think he'll probably be interested in hearing/learning more about space travel in general once he recovers from the initial fridge horror of the concept! he's a nerdy maths & sciences kind of guy underneath all the religion, and well, especially being royal navy (not that he is particularly pro-imperialism himself but, the fact still remains that mindset is there) just the concept of traveling through and colonizing space at all will absolutely fascinate him, because he's seen the way technology advances with things like steamships and early automobiles and such, so it'll be such a Moment for him to be able to go wow... maybe one day all that actually WILL be possible 😳🤯

all that being said, he'll do his best to live up to any hopes and expectations of being a senior lieutenant, even though he's no doubt woefully under-qualified for the task...! but he does like to be a source of guidance when he can (unfortunately, he will happily tell her way more about Christianity than she's likely ever cared to know), so maybe it'll even end up being something of a "little of column A, a little of column B" dynamic, probably on both sides. we'll see!! I look forward to writing with you too <3
