TNGF
SELECTED
Mission Control Director
primary
A middle-aged man in his late 50s, with a lean but sturdy build, short-cropped gray hair, and sharp, observant eyes. His face bears the lines of decades spent under the fluorescent lights of mission control, with a permanent tan line from his headset.
Flight Director
primary
A middle-aged man in his late 40s, with a lean but sturdy build, short-cropped salt-and-pepper hair, and sharp, observant eyes. His face bears the marks of years spent under the fluorescent lights of mission control, with faint lines of concentration around his eyes and mouth.
Ground Crew Chief
secondary
A middle-aged man with a stocky build, short-cropped salt-and-pepper hair, and a weathered face from years of working outdoors. His hands are calloused, and he has a slight squint from frequently looking up at aircraft in bright sunlight.
Astronaut Commander
secondary
A middle-aged man in his late 40s, with a lean but muscular build from years of astronaut training. His short-cropped hair is slightly graying at the temples, and his face bears the lines of both stress and frequent smiles. His eyes are sharp and focused, reflecting years of disciplined training and space missions.
Ground Technician
background
A lean, fit man in his early 30s with short-cropped brown hair and a clean-shaven face. His hands are calloused from years of mechanical work, and his posture suggests someone accustomed to physical labor. He wears protective goggles pushed up onto his forehead, leaving faint tan lines around his eyes.
