Commission for samd6 of Kim the Dolphin Cosmonaut, their character for the unreleased TTRPG Torchship.
Bio:
Your crewmates call you “Kim.”
This is not your full name. Your actual, full name is unpronounceable by the typical voicebox of a convergent biped without technological assistance.
You grew up in the northern pacific, swimming with your kin, singing songs that have been passed down since before man had fire. You also sang the newer songs. You remember the light in the sky when you were five years old, the terror of the rest of Earthclan, the news of the War.
The War ended when you were ten. The consequences of the War are still unfolding.
When you were old enough, you enrolled in the Academy for Star Patrol. You are not the first dolphin to graduate from that prestigious school. Nor were you the first to get a field posting.
You are the first dolphin to get a rocket posting. It may be unfair, but the hopes and dreams of many young people are riding in your wake.
You are the best pilot aboard the Di Renjie-7, and the stars are your ocean now.
