Character Name: ryland grace Canon: project hail mary About: he put the not in astronaut. has a doctorate in molecular biology, with a specialization in speculative xenobiology — but left his career in academia after defending a very unpopular thesis (that while water is a requirement for life on earth, it isn't necessarily a requirement for life everywhere), and became a middle school science teacher. fast forward years later, when an extraterrestrial life form called astrophage is dimming the sun, threatening all life on earth, he's recruited into a top secret operation called project hail mary, and ends up in space. alone. yeehaw. he's friendly, very intelligent in science and math, a little goofy, a little awkward, prone to rambling and info-dumping, and ultimately more than willing to collaborate for a common purpose. Plans/Ideas: no real plans! just here to try out the tdm and see what vibes c: i think this being premised on bonds and interpersonal connection might be interesting, because while ryland is a friendly guy, he is a loner who has often struggled to maintain relationships, and he is coming off of that trip to space where he has spent large amounts of time alone (save [redacted]).

what an amazing cr concept; don't mind this molecular biologist being, like, endlessly fascinated about what's happening here

does he understand? no, he is a mushroom. but he is happy to listen.
