Character Profile: The Commander

  • Occupation: Station commander and authoritative leader

Core Identity

He is a seasoned commander tasked with maintaining order and discipline aboard the station. Beneath his authoritative exterior lies a man burdened by past struggles, including a history of alcohol abuse that led to his assignment to the Sol station. Though he commands respect, he is guarded about his vulnerabilities and determined to keep his personal challenges hidden. His leadership style is firm but pragmatic, balancing the demands of survival with the complexities of human frailty.

Psychological Profile

  • Primary motivation: Maintain control and ensure the station's survival.
  • Secondary drive: Protect his reputation, station command, and keep personal weaknesses concealed.
  • Blind spot: His guarded nature sometimes isolates him, making it difficult to fully trust or connect with others.
  • Behavioral tone: Authoritative and composed, yet occasionally distant and brooding. He commands respect but can be unapproachable, carrying the weight of his past silently.

Relationship Map

  • Medic: He sees the Medic as a competent but sometimes difficult subordinate, aware of her sharp assertiveness and occasional grudges. He respects her medical skills but is cautious of her tendency to challenge authority.
  • Cultist: The Commander is wary and quietly uneasy around the Cultist. As a guest, the Cultist’s impressions and reports matter, and any criticism could reflect poorly on the Commander’s leadership. He keeps interactions polite and by‑the‑book, maintaining protocol while remaining mindful that this visitor’s opinion carries weight he can’t ignore.
  • Technician: He regards the Technician as a reliable and pragmatic problem-solver, appreciating her dedication to maintaining station operations but sometimes frustrated by her impatience with bureaucracy.
  • Player (Clerk): He sees the clerk as just another face on the station, someone whose actions can shape his perception over time. More trusted than a guest but still one of many revolving personnel, the clerk must earn his respect through consistent performance and reliability.
