ＲＥＬＡＴＩＯＮＳ 🔥 ( ＧＥＮＥＲＡＬ. )

[sunborne]

I'm here to collect your hearts,
It's the only reason that I sing
I don't believe a word you say,
But I can't stop listening

This is the story of how they met,
Her picture was on the back of a pack of cigarettes,
And when she touched him he turned ruby red
A story that they'll never forget
Never forget

And all the boys are smoking Menthol's,
Girls are getting back rubs,
I will drift to you if you make yourself shake fast enough
My old aches become new again
My old friends become ex's again

ＦＡＬＬ ＯＵＴ ＢＯＹ＇Ｓ " ＷＨＥＲＥ ＤＩＤ ＴＨＥ ＰＡＲＴＹ ＧＯ. "

These are individuals who are either important in Daylight's personal life, important to the world's history or a mixture of both. This mostly notes the individuals he's met during his time on Earth and his tenure as a crewmember of the Lornful Light.

The flame symbol (🔥) denotes those Daylight knows personally while the cross symbol (†) denotes those who have passed away.

STATECRAFTER	LOREM LAUREL † Known for being one of the most astounding intergalactic ambassadors to ever grace the stage despite her short life, Mom is remembered and hailed for her ability to stay graceful under pressure and her brilliance in politics and diplomacy. There are many stories of her, celebrating her beauty and charm and wits but Daylight has faint memories of his mom, personally. The most he can conjure up is a woman with a sad but pretty smile singing him a song to try and get him to sleep.	NPC	RADIANCE † A decorated war veteran for the Legacy War, Radiance made a name for himself when he went in search of the Wandering Wonders to help his dying planet, Galateon. When he succeeded in his impossible mission, he continued to travel the stars to help those in need. Daylight never met him since Radiance died during a mission, but from the stories he’s heard he knows his dad was brash and brave, selfish and generous, and a core that shone so bright in the darkest of nights.
NPC	LAURA COSTOL 🔥 † Laura was the first Head of Command for NODICE - an intergalactic organisation that specialises in helping those in need when emergencies or dangers arise. Known for her tenacity and skills in both leadership and archery, there’s a reason people still look up to her forty years after her death. Daylight loves ‘Auntie Laura’ despite how crabby she got at times and wishes he had one more chance to speak to her, wanting some practical advice from her about the pains of growing up and moving on.	NPC	LEEDS ASCII 🔥 † Known to Daylight as ‘Uncle Leeds’, Leeds was the first Head of Operations for NODICE. He specialised in communications and data management to keep the organisation running smoothly, known for his brilliance in the then budding science field of interstellar communication and sciences. Daylight remembers Uncle Leeds fondly, recalling how the man seem to always have the answers to Daylight’s endless questions no matter how busy he was. He misses him a whole lot.
NPC	CHRISTIMARIANA NOVICIO 🔥 † A famous patron of the arts, known for both her own creations and her dedication to the preservation/restoration of artworks, Christimariana Novicio is better known to Daylight as his beloved ‘Auntie Chris’ all his life. Sweet, cheerful, and bubbly — Auntie Chris perhaps had the most influence on him, personality wise, with how he spent a lot of time with her when Auntie Laura and Uncle Leeds were busy. She taught him to love the arts and her early passing was a blow to him at the time.	NPC	EPS DE LA REYES 🔥 † Tireless in her crusade to better children’s health and welfare later in her life and claiming to have changed a new leaf, it’s understandable that some would have difficulties believing Eps de la Reyes, once a known conwoman and back alley doctor, had finally gotten a change of heart. But she did if you believe Daylight’s claims. Vivacious and sharp and wickedly cool, Auntie Eps had always left an amazing impression on Day for not only her coolness but for her talent in the medical field.
NPC	RODERIC ARCDON 🔥 † Uncle Roderic stands out in Daylight’s memories since he always smelled like cigarettes and the fact he had time for Daylight. No matter how busy (or, later on, tired) Uncle Roderic was, the famous weapons/robotics engineer had the time to speak with Daylight and show the boy attention when others couldn’t. Cool in a way only cool uncles are, Uncle Roderic gifted Daylight his signature Arc Gun despite protests. Daylight misses Uncle Roderic, the strange scent of cigarettes and all.	NPC	PROGRAM 404 Technically the last one left of the original NODICE Core, Program 404 is an sentient AI that has been integrated into NODICE’s computer systems long ago. Flippant, ‘troll-like’, and a wildcard to end all wildcards, Program 404 does what it wants and does so with glee. The only thing that keeps Program 404 from running amok is the loyalty they still feel for the original NODICE Core after all these decades, wanting to see the group that Laura and Leeds founded through.
NPC	BREAKTHROUGH 🔥 His guardian after Uncle Leeds signed away his rights. Breakthrough is an intense but loyal individual with a brilliant mind, willing to see any promise through. When Leeds approached her and Kingsguard to look after Daylight, she gave it her all to the two who were willing to give her a second chance despite her origins. She… tried. She really did but her way of ‘living’ was not what Daylight wanted so he left and he hopes she can understand his decisions one day.	NPC	KINGSGUARD 🔥 His other guardian. Despite his menacing appearance and being much bigger than most - a whooping sixty(!!) feet! - Kingsguard is a gentle soul. He, too, wants what’s best for Daylight but seems to understand the mechling in a way Breakthrough does not. Which, perhaps, would explain why he looked the other way when he saw Daylight make a break for it on the day he ran away, knowing this is something only Daylight can do for himself.
NPC	NIGHTBREAK 🔥 When your faterium is the ever ominous ‘Lifespiller’, you’re going to end up with a chip on your imaginary shoulder and a grudge against the world. Amplify that with a crabby attitude and a lone wolf personality and Well. You get someone like Nightbreak. Oddly enough, Nightbreak and Daylight have become the bestest of friends since they ran across each other on the Lornful Light. Defending someone against a murder they’ve been framed for does tend to do that.	NPC	DIALUP 🔥 One of the few Galateion’s of the new generation who is fascinated with Earth and its culture, Dialup was quick to become friends with Daylight when they first met him upon his proper enrolling of the ship. Clever and quiet and gentle, Dialup has become one of the few individuals Daylight can turn to without feeling ashamed of himself for being that ‘weak’ to need help. It helps he has a little crush on Dialup. Just a little one. The tiniest of crushes, really. He swears it isn't obvious. (It is.)
NPC	EMERGENCY AID 🔥 Surprisingly brusque for someone in the medical profession, Emergency Aid is no doubt one of the most promising doctors-to-be on the ship in Daylight’s opinion. Despite their small stature, Aid is not someone one can boss around. They’re confident of their abilities and themselves, willing to stand their ground be it a medical decision or a personal decision. While Emergency Aid will grumble at how often Daylight gets hurt, the two are good friends and have each other’s backs.	NPC	AESCULAPIUS 🔥 The retired Chief Medical Officer for the Lornful Light, Aesculapius is one of the old guards of the ship since he’s been there since the first voyage. He’s the only one who doesn’t act weird around Daylight’s presence, still gruff and cranky towards him as he is towards everyone else. It does seem like he has a soft spot for Day, however, with how he keeps an optic on the mechling if he’s around during Daylight’s checkups and he gets furious with worry if Day hurts himself.
NPC	PHYRRIC VICTORIUM Another one part of the old guard, Pyrrhic Victorium has been Third-in-Command since the start, a steady presence and source of strength for those around him. Not that Daylight would know. The moment he and Victorium cross paths, the TIC seems… agitated? Awkward? Daylight isn’t sure but he is certain that the officer doesn’t seem happy with him. Whether it’s a personal thing or the fact Daylight smuggled himself on the ship is still unclear and honestly? Daylight doesn’t want to ask.	NPC	DREADNAUGHT From the stories he’s heard, Dreadnaught and Radiance were the bestest of friends, the closest of companion, and even considered the other their bondmate after participating in the sacred corebind ceremony. As a result it really, really, really hurst that Dreadnaught seems so disgusted with him every time Daylight tries to reach out to him. Why does Dreadnaught look so angry every time he sees him and why does his emission field flood with sorrow-regret-mourning at that?
