Waste of Space
Richard Gibson for Commander Concha
Wears: his nautical attire, a turtleneck sweater under a navy blue peacoat.
Personality Traits: cold, strong, driven, campy, conceited, bit of a conversational narcissist.
Biography: Grew up in the slums of a junkyard planet, riddled with crime, poor mental health, and addiction. Lots of traumatic experiences. As a child, Concha became resourceful through scavenging and learning spacecraft machinery. After years of galactic misadventures and high-paying jobs, Concha became successful and respected in his field, which leads him to believe he avoided the cycle of his generational trauma that his peers and family couldn’t. After the massive solar flare catastrophe, Concha continues to travel throughout the galaxy to help fix ships and provides funding for his current and former crew-mates. Crew-mates are aware of his habit of his long monologues about himself, along with his irrational behavior that causes him to go cold to lively then contentious in a heartbeat.
(cold, uninterested at start of phone call) It is I, Commander Concha.
(prideful rambling) Just like a couple weeks ago, I was scavenging the boiler room of a empty station all the way in Cygnus and got bum-rushed by Nuvnubs. I’m not gonna lie, it was an easy fight. Nuvnubs can’t fight. I have no problem with Nuvnubs, I’ve done jobs with Nuvnubs. I’m just calling it how it is.
(Patronizing, calm) You’re not crazy. You just have to stop saying bullfrog.
(beat)
This is what you’ve got to understand. You’re sensitive. This all kicked off because you chose to start this battle.
