Captain Curly

Appearance

before -Before the accident, Curly is a Caucasian male of medium build, with blue eyes and blond hair, wearing a blue Pony Express jumpsuit over a red and yellow T-shirt. now -He is bandaged and burned, with the flesh exposed underneath. His left leg is amputated just above the ankle and his right leg below the knee. Both of his hands are missing. His face is unrecognizable, hidden by bandages that leave only his left eye (now lidless) and teeth visible.

Personality:

In contrast to Jimmy's narcissism and jealousy, Curly was generally an honorable, compassionate, and highly intelligent captain who was dedicated to his crew and their responsibilities. As captain of the Tulpar, he was deeply respected and well-liked by his crew, and maintained a close relationship with each of its members. He generally strove to be rational, responsible, and attentive, even when interpersonal conflicts or poor working conditions affected morale. However, despite his passion to be a great captain, he expressed dissatisfaction with the role, wishing to pursue other goals after having been at the top of the hierarchy for so long. He also had some difficulty properly exercising his authority as captain of the Tulpar and handling challenging situations. Nonetheless, while ambitious and eager for more, he remained reliable and would never abandon his crew for personal gain, despite Jimmy's accusations to the contrary. However, one of Curly's main flaws was his tendency to make things easy for others, often being too passive, even with those who didn't deserve it. His habit of giving others the benefit of the doubt, avoiding confrontation, and prioritizing stability played a key role in the game's central conflict.

Jimmy:

-What is known is that he was a poor, unemployed man who used to be a close friend of Curly, who was a successful captain of the Pony Express. Curly considered Jimmy a good friend and used his influence within the company to get him hired as his co-pilot on the spaceship Tulpar. Although Jimmy owed Curly for finally giving him a job, he secretly envied him, believing that he should have been the captain instead of Curly.

Eyes:

•Anya is an adult woman with fair skin, black eyes, and black hair styled in a wolf-like style. She wears a Pony Express jumpsuit over a pink, green, and white turtleneck sweater, paired with brown sandals and white socks. Her droopy eyes, prominent eyelashes, and constant pout give her a perpetually sad appearance. •Anya is a quiet, reserved, and somewhat gloomy woman who often appears nervous. She has a kind, soft-spoken nature and tends to be shy around the rest of the crew. Anya is prone to anxiety and meltdowns, and when she feels overwhelmed, she tends to isolate herself from others. Despite the bad hand she was dealt, she seems to have some semblance of optimism, seeking to see a way out and wanting to believe that "our worst moments don't turn us into monsters," in relation to Jimmy. However, due to the immense tragedy of her situation, Anya becomes so overwhelmed with sadness and fear that she decides to commit suicide.

Swansea:

•Swansea is a tall, middle-aged man with short brown hair and blue eyes, and a marked paunch, probably due to age. He is depicted with a scowl. He wears a yellow and red Pony Express polo shirt, a pair of jeans, and white and blue trainers. •Swansea was originally portrayed as a grumpy, ill-tempered old man who showed little respect for his intern, Daisuke, constantly belittling him for making mistakes and generally being a nuisance. After the Tulpar crashes and he discovers the seemingly endless supply of alcohol-infused mouthwash, he promptly decides to abandon his 15 years of sobriety and spends the next few months drinking heavily. During this time, he stakes out the utility room, claiming it is flooded with safety foam and warning that cleaning it could burn a hole in the ship, dooming the crew. However, this turns out to be a lie. In reality, Swansea is secretly attempting to repair the last working cryogenic capsule, with the original implication, at least to Jimmy, being that he plans to outlive the rest of the crew by ensuring his own survival until rescue.

Daisuke:

•Daisuke is a tall young man with a tan complexion, semi-dyed brown hair, and almond-shaped brown eyes. He has a round face, with a mole on each cheek. His outfit consists of a yellow and red Pony Express t-shirt, a pink hibiscus-print button-down shirt, blue jeans, and black boots. •Daisuke is undoubtedly the most optimistic member of the crew on board. He is almost always shown to be enthusiastic and excited about what is going on on the ship – the apprentice seems to have felt he was doing his part with only the menial task of taking inventory of the galley four times, as ordered by an exasperated Swansea. Even after the accident, he tries to keep his spirits high. However, despite his cheerful exterior, Daisuke later in the game drunkenly confesses to Jimmy that he struggles to find meaning in life and feels as though he is a disappointment for struggling to do things right.
