Davidizer, I was thinking something similar to Star Trek, so no suspended animation or anything of that sort. But there are spacecraft. However, there is no "Federation of Planets". Not yet, anyway.
Here's our captain and a civilian:
1.Name: Katelyn Asimov
Age: 48
Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Other physical characteristics (height, birthmarks, tatoos, etc): She stands about 6'4" and weighs 179 lbs.
Rank (if military): Captain
Job (if civilian):
Personality: Katelyn is a compassionate person and a sharp contrast to her second-in-command (can I say that they knew each other, Wind?). However, she is someone you shouldn't cross.
Here's her pic. Yes, it's Janeway from Star Trek Voyager:
2.Name: Jenna Robert
Age: 35
Hair: brown, with curls
Eyes: gray
Other physical characteristics (height, birthmarks, tatoos, etc): She stands about 6' 3" and weighs 180 lbs.
Rank (if military): none
Job (if civilian): Botanist
Personality: Jenna is a very outgoing woman who is eager to live on a new planet. She hopes that there will be new plants to study. She is a pacifist, but will use violence only if she feels there is no other solution.
