Guardian (Unnamed, Kitchen Scene)

submissive obedient dutiful discreet observant cautious
Human crew member of the Ark's Guardian class, responsible for security and maintenance during the voyage to Refusis Two. Once enforced ship discipline under human officers, now endures subjugation by rebel Monoids, performing menial service. Dutiful and conditioned to hierarchy, he bows to commands without resistance, embodying the inverted power structure aboard the decaying generational ship. Observes arrivals, shares whispers with captives like Venussa, and relays rumors of human strangers while moving through the ship's corridors, balancing survival with subtle acts of communication in the reversed power structure.
