No its fine. the universal AI does more then pilot a ship. plus im curious to see any Banter between both S.A.I.L(the universal AI) and Aya since Sail is a smartass.

I am thinking of signing up with this character.  Kind of a horror-themed character with an emphasis on magitech for the ship. Thoughts, feedback from those currently signed up? I might do something different depending on what you think

Name: Black Wisteria

Race: Undead Humanoid

Age: Early 40s while alive, has not aged since

Sex: Cisgender Female

Appearance: BW is a lithe and wiry woman with complexion resembling a classical marble statue. Standing at about six foot three and draped in a wardrobe of slightly oversized jewel tone robes, her features are the sort that most would call quite striking and unmistakable. Black's eyes are not in fact black, but brown, and carry a sad, tired weight to them in most situations - even when she's gotten plenty of sleep. Running down her back and framing her face is a mop of straight, silky black hair with shocking grey streaks running through it unevenly.

Weapon Preference: Black Wisteria's primary method of self defense is a frightening and unpleasant combination of jumpscares and unnatural physical strength. While her species possesses no traits that would be considered superhuman, her undead origin gives her the ability to rip and tear apart most untrained aliens with her bare hands and perform minor feats of shapeshifting (mostly contorting herself into horrendous shapes – she isn't Mystique or Odo from Star Trek). While tapping into her true strength, Wisteria's movements become stilted and 'glitchy', including 'skipping' around from place to place without her intervening movements being seen. This makes her more difficult to track and fire on, and also allows her to get the jump on people, get in their face, etc. That's where the 'jumpscares' come in. She relies on intimidation to a certain extent – those unafraid of her ghoulish shtick will fare substantially better in 1-on-1 combat than they otherwise would. Hopefully this will compensate for her lack of weaponry.

Spaceship Design: Black Wisteria's ship is an eccentric and eclectic combination of technology and her own link to death and negative forces. While in appearance it's similar to a traditional Japanese riverboat, it's capable of all the feats of space navigation typical of the setting. While it was originally just a traditional boat that she used to fly around her continent (carrying a decent-sized bubble of dark, murky waters with her as she did), after an encounter with a crashed space captain with bad intentions, Wisteria installed parts of his ship into her tiny boat and took to the stars. This includes a S.A.I.L. Unit along with FTL technology, all of which her powers were able to interface with. Now, she sails towards her goals, standing at the front of her vessel and paddling to control it. Can such a crude control scheme really perform the kind of tight and skillful manuevers necessary for space combat? Apparently so, but it doesn't even look like she's got weapons on there. Maybe she could board an enemy spaceship, but that won't always apply. Rumor has it that people have seen some unusual creatures in the murky river that the ship projects when it's active, but believing rumors can get you killed. So can ignoring them.

Oh yeah, I forgot to out it in his sign up, but since Quasar has Rustblood, he has psychic communion/dominion with animals/beasts.

Some pictures of the sort of riverboat that Black Wisteria's spaceship is based on.

I have no plans for Whistle to fight other PCs, I intend on him being friendly and if anything a little naive when it comes to what other people would consider "scary" races (much like he completely fails to understand that a lot of people from his home world are at least somewhat suspicious of Kenku since he knows barely anything about his own race) so his reaction to someone like Wisteria would be less "kill it with fire" and more of a curious head tilt.
While I'm on the subject of Whistle, I've got two things I'd like to add/change. First I'd like to change his longsword to a Bastard Sword (or a hand-and-a-half sword as it's also known), I feel like it's smaller size would suit him better than a longsword without being so small as to be redundant with the dagger he also carries like a shortsword might be. Second, I'd like to list my current ideas for starting spells. These aren't exactly the same as DnD spells (and if anything with his Blue Mage-esque form of learning spells might make him diverge even more), but these are at least based on spells I know of.
Cacophony (reskin of Vicious Mockery): Shout a jumbled and chaotic mess of noises laced with magic at a target to inflict sound-based damage to a target and temporarily disorient them, giving them disadvantage on their next turn.
Healing Word: Soothe either an ally or the user, magically healing wounds in the process.
Dancing Lights: Conjure orbs of light which the user can passively control. Harmless, but good for providing light in dark areas or adding a flashy touch to a performance.
So basically an offensive spell, a healing spell, and a utility spell. When combined with some decent swordsmanship (he's no highly skilled knight, but he knows how to fight without throwing himself off balance) he's mainly a jack-of-all-trades character at the start who could potentially specialize into just about anything depending on what he learns (although I'd like him to keep at least some sense of balance) with the possible exception of tanking which might be tough given his small stature and light weight.

so we got a drunk old golfer? I love it. I mean I like Demoman so I cant wait to see hoe you handle this. accepted
