Character Profiles: Starliner Maintenance Crew
lanolin
「the bristly baby of the bunch」
It’s not every day that the street urchin you adopted turns out to be an actual urchin!
The newest recruit for the cosmic cruise maintenance crew, and therefore the youngest Blub, Little Lanolin has a lot to prove.
His uniform might be customized to keep him soft and approachable, but don’t try and push Lanolin too far. This kid has spikes!
“I’ll do better than my best, wait and see!”
Cabby
「afraid to fly, prefers to float」
Cabby is Lanolin’s guide to the inner workings of the Starliner. It’s too bad he’s got a lot to learn himself…
Scared of everything (except monsters, ironically), he tries his best to step up when it really counts.
Don’t be too hard on him, he’s part-jellyfish so he’s naturally spineless.
“I-Is it too late to go back to the break room?”
Booster
「a strong fist and a stronger heart」
The “big brother” of the Blubs, Booster is the man you go to when a job needs some heavy-lifting.
Literally armed with rockets in his elbows and capable of legendary “megalo-ton punches”, he dreams of someday joining the ranks of the galactic rangers… once he’s finished with his service hours.
Until that day comes, he’s content to just be a hero to the people around him.
“I’ll carve a way forward, for all of us.”
gless
「eight tentacles, zero patience」
A loner with a tendency to pick fights, Gless has always struggled to fit in. When Booster offered him a place to stay and atone for his criminal past, he begrudgingly accepted.
Good thing his prehensile hair is so useful for multitasking!
In spite of his aggressive disposition, the Blubs welcome him with open arms. Though he’d never admit it, he’s happy to finally have a home.
“I’m trying to be better, not nicer.”
