Miru
Head researcher at ZAG-15. Miru was recruited from a large planet, scouted by DPIP from a mundane bureaucratic job... that they were quite content with! They initially turned down the Department’s offer, only reconsidering after being fired from their job shortly after.
As ZAG-15’s researcher, they are both uncertain of how to do their job and very sure that they don’t need their Colonists telling them what to do. They take advice only begrudgingly. They know some people call them ‘artichoke head’ and hate it.

Personality

Abilities
Miru is a celethi, a race of amphibious humanoids native to a mostly water-covered planet. They range between green and purple in colour, are striped, and have fins to help them swim. Under certain colours of light, different patterns and colours appear on a celethi’s body. Their eyes are adapted to both seeing above and below water, and are not sensitive to saltwater, and have keen darkvision.
Celethi possess a pair of gills on their necks, though these may become less and less functional if they are disused for a long period of time; it was not an issue on their homeworld, as many structures were built underwater, but as they have spread into the stars, some celethi have lost the use of them.
Relationships
Read about Miru’s relationships with their colonists & other figures below! Will be updated as time passes.
Nauxha
The initial colonist of ZAG-15. Nauxha’s expertise on Xiunus is irrefutable, and while she and Miru butt heads often, they do still rely on her greatly when it comes to managing the colony. Miru feels deeply inadequate in their position when compared to Nauxha, and is a bit resentful of her because of that—their prior career as an office worker did not prepare them in the least for managing a community on an unfamiliar planet.
Thene
The first whelp and second colonist of ZAG-15. Welcoming Thene into the colony felt like a milestone for Miru, though she’s gone on to develop some questionable musical tastes.
Izhuras
A serpent-like tark’ee child that the colony just… found wandering alone one day. Izhauras’ health has always been fragile, and it became a full-time project for Miru during most of her early days just to keep her alive. She’s been doing better, lately, and they can’t help but feel just a little bit of pride over that.
Jhenigi
An adult tsabhua who Miru brought back to ZAG-15 from DPIP’s immigration centre. Jhenigi did not seem terribly confident or useful to Miru at the time—but the colony was in need of extra, adult hands, and so they took a chance on him. The tsabhua is very earnest and hard-working, but Miru often finds a lot of faults in his work…
Cherzih
An orphaned aquatic belemoid Miru took into the colony. Cherzih’s presence forced them to renovate part of ZAG-15 to add a pool, an extra expense they complained a lot about to the older colonists.
Noire
An imposing tsabhua bull only recently returned to Xiunus by DPIP. Miru welcomed Noire into their colony as a favour to their employers, but in all honesty are a little intimidated by him.
