How they stand to one another

Justy Ueki Tylor

Lead

A tall, slim young man in his early twenties with tousled brown hair, lively brown eyes, and a perpetually relaxed smile. He wears a slightly rumpled United Planets Space Force officer’s uniform with a red scarf, his posture casual and hands often in his pockets.

Carefree, unpredictable, seemingly lazy but deeply empathetic and lucky. Inspires loyalty and chaos among his crew; draws attention from both allies and enemies.

Yuriko Star

Ally

A poised woman in her early twenties with straight, shoulder-length dark blue hair and sharp blue eyes. She stands with military precision in a crisp Space Force uniform, her posture upright and expression often serious.

Disciplined, intelligent, principled; often frustrated by Tylor’s antics. Second-in-command to Tylor; respects and challenges him.

Harumi

Heart

A gentle woman in her early twenties with long silver hair, large soft violet eyes, and delicate features. She wears a modest, pale-colored dress and a nurse’s cap, her expression kind and quietly melancholic.

Warm, caring, with a hidden sadness; the emotional anchor for the crew. Forms a close bond with Tylor and the crew; harbors secrets.

Azalyn Goza

Rival

A petite, regal young woman in her late teens or early twenties with bright orange hair styled in twin buns, golden eyes, and ornate Raalgon imperial robes. Her bearing is proud but her eyes betray curiosity and vulnerability.

Determined, proud, but conflicted between duty and personal feelings. Empress of the Raalgon; both adversary and potential friend to Tylor.

Makoto Yamamoto

Witness

A lean, bespectacled man in his mid-twenties with neatly combed black hair and a perpetually anxious expression. He wears a regulation Space Force uniform, always immaculate, and carries a clipboard.

By-the-book, earnest, easily flustered; the voice of protocol. Observes and reports on Tylor’s command; often the audience’s surrogate.

Visual language

Early '90s cel animation with soft color gradients, bold outlines, and expressive character acting. Backgrounds feature detailed starship interiors and stylized space vistas, with a palette that mixes military neutrals and vivid sci-fi accents.
