Earth had been a beautiful planet for the human race to populate on, trees and grass, deer and tigers, and after the many technological revolutions they had it wasn’t enough. The planet had been on the brink of collapse, in the year 2070, and major corporations had set about their ways to send people to the stars.

The work that went into the colonies started decades beforehand, with the only real progress that the earth could see as the trailing lights of their space crafts. The first ship to go out to set up a colony on the closest habitable planet left the earth in 2010 with a crew of five eager scientists. Earth had heard nothing back by the time the last ship left. They would have a sixty year gap from landing on the planet before the last ship arrived, and this is the story of Demeter.

Demeter is the last colony ship, created with sixteen decks, the capability of splitting in two, and a massive store of crops and plants from the planet earth. The green house was on the first two levels, with a thick glass shield and the force field to protect the people and plants from space’s radiation. There was an orchard, fields of crops, enough for the people on the ship to survive generations. And generations passed.

It had been two hundred and fifty years since they left Earth, and the ninth generation captain now stood at the helm with the portraits of her family lining the room.

There were few rules on the ship
Recycle: No Waste
Ship Before Self: Do Not Put The Ship At Risk
Show Respect to Fellow Shipmates
Work Hard

As the ship approaches their new home, Asoter, they have started to awaken the members of the ship who have been in deep slumber for these past hundreds of years. They were the folk who could afford the sleep to wake up on the new planet with memories of the old one.

Demeter had last heard from the colony at the beginning of the month, but there was no worries yet as to what kind of state the colony was in.

Name: Rodrick Rosea the VIView attachment 8707

Nickname/s: Roddy, Rose

Age: 25

Sex and Gender: Feminine-Nonbinary, DFAB. They/She

Orientation: Asexual

Appearance: Roddy has long white hair that goes down to the middle of their back that they usually roll up into a bun.
They usually wear a type of uniform, whether it be the captain’s uniform or a track suit when they run through the ship on a regular basis. They have no piercings, no tattoos, and don’t decorate themselves further than clothes.
Height: 5’7”

Mental Health: Roddy struggles with a depressive disorder, as most people on the ship are prone to with the lack of natural lighting. They make regular visits to the medical bay to get check ups and when anything becomes too overwhelming to take care of on their own.

Personality Traits:
+ Inquiring, Dedicated, Adaptable, Ethical
- Cynical, Stubborn, Slow to Forgive, Distant

Occupation: Captain of the ship Demeter

Background Information:
Roddy is the only child of the previous captain, Rodrick the 5th and his wife Jenn. Between the two of them the little girl learned how to fight with swords, become a manager, and fly the ship. The Captain's job has been passed down through the generations, like most other jobs on the ship.
Roddy has a rather small family on the ship, but doesn’t interact with them that often. Roddy grew up specifically to fulfill the role as the family has and was the only one in their classes and did not make many friends growing up. They accepted the responsibility for everyone’s life, and for that became emotionally separated from them. They have had classes in management, engineering, medicine, combat, and social studies. They believe in fairness and compassion, but also punishment when the crime fits.
Both their mother and father are dead, from different kinds of cancers.
They are still young, still willing to open the doors and meet new people. They have looked forward to their arrival on Asoter since they were little as it would be under their guide. The subject of the sleeping wealthy has become a sore subject with their staff, as the tales from the old earth have not held up in a positive light.
