I'm always game for that! Any ideas about him and Nyx?

Yeah - for Erien, it'll be a case of learning how Nyx sees things, and once she has some understanding of that, showing her that's not the way it is in DefCom; at least as far as fear goes anyway. There's certainly some respect involved.
And for Nyx I guess it'll be part of that too, learning how it's different from what she's used to.

Gosh I love planned character development in RPs.

I like that she has a level of disinterest in it, but to become a flying member of DefCom, she'd have to have passed through the Academy, and would have to have at least some experience with it.
Still, she'll soon get an understanding of it the hard way if it ends up being a problem...!

@Silverwind Blade

Then I'll make doubly sure it's more disinterest than ignorance. I kinda figured she knew about the ranks anyway, since she'd been on a ship before.
Also, that depends on the problem. To Nyx, respect either equals fear or that it has been earned. Naturally it'll happen. In time.

I love that there's already some friction between Nyx and Erien, espcially since Nyx doesn't really care or understand military ranks or how it works.

"Yes, but they're not me. They're not as fast or good. Plus the engineers get busy, so being the next best thing does not mean I want to fix planes again." Nyx explained. "Also they're not touching my plane. They'll make the balance and stuff off. They don't know how a plane flies, just how it works. They're not touching my plane."

Nyx knew better than to trust people right off the bat. She'd had her stuff stolen enough to know that being friendly just made you an easy target. But he was willing to prove he wasn't a threat, which meant that Nyx had an advantage on him. Nyx didn't feel bad about manipulating people to get what she needed. It was how she got by on Borlix.

Then he asked how long she'd been a pilot. Nyx looked at him for a moment, then looked at her watch to check the time.

"Officially, about an hour. Or since we landed on the ship. I worked on ships my whole life. No wait. Not whole life. Most of it. I grew up on Borlix, if that makes my comments clearer." Nyx said, her thoughts a bit scattered but glad to talk about something other than becoming friends with Killian. She looked at the rest of the group, as if waiting to see if someone did something, but they were all juts milling around waiting or getting rooms.

"You're tired. We'll tour then eat then sleep if you want. I'm tired too, but also excited. I haven't slept since before the trip out. Which was... about 24 standard hours ago I think."

Nyx had been very comfortable on the chair as the others moved about to look at the area. Nyx figured she knew all of it -there wasn't much- and had it committed to memory. Or she would as time passed. Either way, it wasn't a complicated layout and she liked how big the kitchen was. Plus, it was a kitchen. A real kitchen. Nyx was going to have to study cooking and recipes now.

Then some Terran named Killian sat down next to her and started to talk. She didn't mind that they were roommates, but she was suspicious of the way he talked and how easily he trusted her. She watched him for a moment, trying to decide how she felt about him.

"If you don't mind, I'll call you Killian. I learned to shake hands only after I learn if a new person has a knife in their belt. Also, please call me Miles. Nyx is for close friends, and we aren't yet." Nyx replied.

She hoped that he wasn't befriending her because she knew how to fix ships. A lot of pilots had tried to befriend her to try and get first priority on repairs, which meant she only accepted the gifts and didn't do much else. It was funny to tell the other pilots that she'd put them first but it was hard to decide which to fix first as she was constantly being bribed. The lie was almost guaranteed to gain more snacks and food, but one officer brought it to the attention of the captain.

But now that she was a pilot, she wasn't going to accept bribes for fixing planes. She'd just be an engineer again, which was not what she wanted. No, she was Lieutenant now.

"Also, I don't fix planes for bribes anymore. Or if I can help it."

I know that feeling. I ran into a lot when I wrote Jasper's sheet.

Oriast: The Second Dark Age

I'd say we're pretty alive. I think we're just waiting to start, honestly.

Shadows of Steel (Space Fighter Combat RP)

This certainly helps a lot! Before I kinda made it up as I went because I can not understand directions to save my life. Now I can figure out which room Nyx took. (Probably the one closest to the kitchen)

Oriast: The Second Dark Age

I don't really know. I've been watching it and waiting mostly.
