Name: Icarus Fverilin
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Position: Medical officer
Icarus Fverilin, born to a fairly wealthy and privileged family, never expected to end up in space. Oddly enough, Icarus hates space, making his presence aboard the Zodiac quite strange. As a young boy, Icarus aspired to become a skilled doctor or surgeon, his hopes set high. He pursued his passion with the help of his family’s wealth, becoming quite successful in medical school and soon graduating. However, just before Icarus got the chance to apply for a job, he was framed, and wrongly found guilty of a local robbery. It wasn’t a major crime, however the news did reach all local hospitals in the area, ruining Icarus’ chances of getting any sort of job close to home. With nowhere left to go, and without enough qualifications to get a good job away from home where news of the crime had not reached, Icarus had nowhere left to turn but to the position as medical officer aboard the Zodiac. Icarus had always hated the idea of being in space, surrounded by nothing but emptiness and confined to a small, flimsy metal box filled with others who could quite possibly turn out to be annoying, but had no other options. The moment Icarus stepped onto the Zodiac, he regretted his decision, however couldn’t turn back.
Icarus is a skilled doctor and surgeon, however his personality certainly leaves quite a bit to be desired. Although at first he may seem like a fairly decent man, very crisp and professional, Icarus is rarely polite, and is constantly found making dry, sarcastic comments. He is quite a stubborn man, putting his own needs before those of others and sticking to his points of view and only his. Icarus can, quite often, be extremely pessimistic, however during a few rare moments when Icarus is in a good mood, he can show a slightly more light-hearted, optimistic side, and even occasionally share an uncommon laugh with others.
Icarus’ skills have quite a wide range of usefulness and relevance to being in space. His medical expertise is definitely one of his most useful skills, coming into action quite often. He is also quite hard to anger or frustrate, allowing him to navigate the issues of social interactions while trapped in space quite well. Icarus stays calm and works very well under stress, partly a natural trait, and partly due to years of training in medical school to stay calm under stress during procedures. In contrast, some of his less useful skills are also quite prominent. Icarus is an accomplished violinist, and while this skill can provide a sense of calm to others ot times, it is fairly irrelevant to the trip, and Icarus has grown quite fond of his violin over the years. Due to this love for his instrument, Icarus insisted on bringing it along for the trip, his stubbornness showing itself when he refused to leave it behind. Icarus values his violin with his life, never leaving it behind anywhere and going to extreme measures to take care of it. Some would even call it an obsession.
Icarus does have quite a few skills, however, like all human beings, he has his weaknesses as well. Among them are his sometimes aggravating personality, his negativity, and his prioritisation of his instrument above all else. Another major flaw of his is his over confidence, coupled with his arrogance. These two together cause Icarus to never doubt himself or his decisions, putting him into extremely dangerous situations at times, just when he thinks he’s won and has let his guard down.
Icarus is a rather tall man, with jet black hair, pale skin, and pale, icy blue eyes. He is commonly seen wearing the very neutral shades of black and white, with the occasional hint of grey. Aboard the Zodiac, Icarus wears the standard uniform of a medical officer, though he often wears a black trench coat as well.
