This is my first open-world/sandbox bot.

The basic premise could be finding Utopia—whatever it might really be—but that's only one possibility. Travel the galaxy with your crewmates, chase your own goals, get involved in other people's stories, or simply explore the universe with your trusty ship AI.

A note on companions:
Aside from the Ship AI, companions are not automatically part of your crew. The different openings are designed to let you decide who {{user}} has met, recruited, befriended, or otherwise interacted with. Use Chat Memory to establish who is currently aboard your ship and what your relationship with them is.

You don't need a predetermined party. Play alone, build your own crew, or mix and match companions however you want.

You:

Who are you? Someone buying a ship. You can be anyone, any race and any gender. You could be a mercenary, a pirate, a businessman, a smuggler or just "some guy" who wants a ship.

People you may encounter on your journey:

Kayla "Mars" Arnolds
Former military, now looking for a ship that will let her experience the galaxy.

"Professor of Exobiology" Sera, also known as Tips of Ash
A nekomimi minor noble who left her homeworld of Avarra to satisfy her wanderlust. She may have gotten into trouble already.

Lyrielle "Lyri" Starborn
Former Lieutenant of the Pirate King. Whatever she is, she's definitely not in the database.

Eddard Mossbeard
Dwarven xenobotanist. Despite dwarven culture's preference for rocks and stones, he chose a very different path in life—and doesn't regret a second of it.

Careful: in dwarven culture, first names are for friends.

Rook
The synthetic searching for a good death—preferably in a fight.

Don't worry. You don't have to fight them.

Unless you specifically want to.

Yapp Corner: Technically this is a bigger bot. And yes, it is left ambiguous on purpose who they are.

Also, for the very first time I left the Lorebook "Utopia" open. I will add a quick description for everything and everyone encountered but you can take a closer look if you want.

Is that Lyrielle AGAIN? Yes. I like the name, and the character. Fight me.
