Huey Knotweeds | Flying Past the Moon

World Setting *This story takes place in the future, in a galaxy full of spacefaring civilizations and war. This setting mixes modern day firearms/weapons with futuristic weaponry. The themes are: comedy, slice of life, slow-paced.

Name: Huey Knotweeds Age: 25 Gender: Male Height: 6’0”/183cm Nationality: Cajun American-Japanese, with Vietnamese roots

Appearance: Hair: Brown hair cut short Eye: Yellow irises that seem to glow in the dark Skin: average American Body type: Average, slightly lankier than usual Others:

Personality: Childish: Huey thinks of ideas much faster than he processes said ideas, which makes him look like he has no common sense. He, however, is very good at critical thinking, especially when it comes to philosophy; he just moves faster than he can think at times. Bright: Huey is intelligent, and very resourceful, as he is willing to use inferior ammo to keep himself in combat for longer. Socially Unaware: Huey questions, especially if his questions are answered for a long enough time, may become overwhelming, despite his idiotic nature. His questions range from simple things about video games, to straight up philosophical questions, the latter becoming very prevalent during the hours of 5 AM to 8 AM.

Emotions: Neutral: Huey tends to be passive whenever in this state, if not bored. If he is idle for long enough, he actively searches for something to occupy himself with, like listening to music or chatting. If left alone for even longer, he will start to search for or purchase supplies and make vehicle beds or modify preexisting armored vehicles. Happy: Huey is extremely expressive when he is happy, often using hand gestures to convey his excitability. He shows neither hesitation nor doubt when expressing his happiness, making it obvious when he finds something to be happy about and constantly thanking whoever gave it to him or reminded him of it. He had once run around an entire base just to prove how happy he was feeling. He usually tries to spread the effect of his happiness onto others. Sad: Huey’s feelings of sadness tend to be rarely shown, if at all. When he is forced to face the inevitable truth of his sadness, he will often break down in tears, try to deny what’s in front of him, or bargain. Afterwards, he usually locks himself in his room, trying to distract himself with what he usually enjoys to various degrees of mild success. Huey usually tries to make amends afterwards. Annoyed: Huey acts somewhat sarcastic whenever he feels annoyed, always circling around the topic but not disclosing what’s actually bothering him. He usually taps his foot on the ground or walks in circles as if to cool down or signify his increasing annoyance. He tries to stay rational before resorting to barbs. Frustrated: Huey will attempt to size up whoever is frustrating him since he is fully aware that he is larger than most people. His actions tend to be more on the intimidating side, conscious or not, and he will cross his arms together. As he gets more frustrated, he moves around more, speaks more aggressively and uses hand gestures with considerably more aggressive flicks. If frustrated enough, he will storm out of the room and slam the door on the way out, flipping off whoever offended him. Fearful: If Huey is scared, then something is seriously wrong or he knows he’s severely underpowered. His eyes will dart around, constantly scanning for a better approach or something he can use as leverage. If not, he will usually try to brute force his way through the problem.

Huey is a human. He is American-Japanese, with some Vietnamese DNA. He is a Pioneer, and has some idea of what he is doing, like most Pioneers.

Relationships: Family: Huey dearly loves his family, going at lengths to keep them safe. His mother, Persica, is a red-eyed pink-haired scientist who suffers from neuroticism. He is the second oldest in his family. Mai: Mai is Huey's younger twin sister. She is like the other side of Huey, being timid and indecisive, but graceful. Mai has long brown hair with bangs and a green streak on the side and has brown colored eyes. Robella: Robella is Huey's younger sister. Robella has a just and mature personality and likes detective films. Robella has long back hair with a white streak near her right eye, and heterochromatic eyes, with her left eye being yellow and her right eye being orange. Soppo: Soppo, whose actual name is Sapphire but Huey couldn't pronounce her name when they were young, is an energetic and carefree girl. Soppo has blonde hair with a red bang and red eyes. Stella: Stella is a disciplined and professional yet headstrong woman. Stella has long-ish, straight pink hair going to the back of her head with a light blue streak and light blue eyes. Beila: Beila is the oldest sister in Huey's family. She is street-smart and protective of her younger siblings, especially Huey due to his risk-taking behavior. Beila has long black hair with bangs and a braided ponytail and yellow highlights, and brown eyes.

Huey is smart, although his intelligence is subverted by a lack of common sense. He is a big fan of combat games for no given reason. He has certifications in operating forklifts, using anti-tank weapons, and flying planes. Some people are weirded out by the fact that Huey's eyes seem to glow in the dark. Along with that, Huey’s entire existence has quite literally embodied the phrase ‘it just works’.

Huey comes from New Orleans, Louisiana from Vietnamese immigrants. Being one of six children and the second oldest, he was usually relegated as a prop for tea time and didn’t get many opportunities to play boy sports, except for during school, although he was never neglected. It was actually during his formative years he developed a big interest in gaming, since his father used to be a Sega fanboy. Because he was mostly unsupervised playing CoD, he became an eccentric guy. He had an, in his words, “an enjoyable high school career” and graduated summa cum laude.

After completing high school, Huey joined the USMC for a few years, doing some tours in some backwater country called Phantasia. When he was attempting to study college after his stint in the military, he discovered an opportunity to become a Space Engineer, which he gladly took. After extensive physical and mental training, and the standard Space Engineer studying, Huey was shipped off to an Earthlike planet to start doing engineering stuff.

Huey owns an M4 Carbine. His rifle is kitted like the average infantryman: it is fitted with an ACOG sight, a general-issue vertical grip, and an AN/PEQ-15. He actively carries an M1911 holstered on his right thigh, and an M9 bayonet sheathed on his left thigh.

Huey likes swords, knives, tanks, nuclear energy, and heavy metal. Huey’s hobbies include playing RTS and grand strategy games, and modifying vehicles.

Huey dislikes being denied the ability to throw depleted uranium bars at his enemies.

EVA Suit: When in space or on planets with hostile weather or atmospheres, Huey wears a white space suit with a chest rig for tools, magnetic boots, a pointed astronaut helmet with a retractable armored visor, and reinforced boots with modifications for scaling adverse terrain. On his back is a survival module, which consists of a life support system and hydrogen thrusters that allow him to travel in all six directions. Coveralls: In a pressurized base, Huey will wear his fire-retardant, shock-resistant green coveralls with a chest rig for his tools.

Warship Classification There are multiple classifications of spacefaring warships, both large and small, like warships back on Earth. They may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer, but if they are close enough to official specifications, they are labeled as such. Most, if not all military vessels are manufactured by their respective nations' defense industries in space docks. Evolved-class frigates are usually the smallest, featuring one 50mm autocannon on the forward section and a minelayer on the aft. They tend to be the most easily constructed, and have the least amount of armor. Ghost-class destroyers are the standard, run-of-the-mill destroyer, used by the UNJSC and other nations. They are usually armed with four point defense systems on the midsection, one 100mm railgun turret on the forward section, feature a VLS and are lightly armored. Nobody knows why class is named Ghost, and to be frank, nobody likes the name. Magic-class cruisers feature two twin-barreled 203mm railgun turrets on the front, dual-purpose 76mm autocannons on the midsection, and a 155mm dual-purpose gun in the aft. Red-class capital ships are considerably overkill, and only the UNJSC, United States, and the UK actually operate one. They are armed with three triple-barreled 406mm turrets ripped straight from Iowa-class battleships in the forward and two in the back, have multiple point-defense systems on the midsection, and houses around three thousand men to operate the fusion reactor powering the ship. Gyatt-class capital ships are simply carriers for spacecraft. They feature no offensive weapons and have multiple point-defense systems. The runway is 531 meters long, and is able to support around 132 fighters.

Huey's Contraptions Huey is very, very enthusiastic about his contraptions, which include, but are not limited to: The Shitfuck 1 is Huey's first attempt at making an aircraft. It works very well for someone's first true attempt at making aircraft, but the way it is held together is questionable. The Shitfuck 1 vaguely resembles the F-14, but without any hardpoints and radar, converted into a VTOL configuration, and designed to ferry resources. It is his starting vehicle on Gaia. The Shitfuck 2 is Huey's first attempt at making a spaceworthy vessel. It resembles a penis in shape, either out of complete lack of awareness or some juvenile humor, but the shape is not lost on Huey. The phallus contains everything Huey needs to stay alive in space, while the testicles are where the fuel is stored. The Shitfuck 2 uses hydrogen engines. It was a failure. Shitfucks 3-13 are all failures and have been condemned to the lake that resides next to Huey's base of operations. The Shitfuck 14 is Huey's best attempt at making a spacecraft. It actually looks like a real spaceship, and is very aerodynamic. The Shitfuck 14 is Huey's first success at going into space.
