THE FIRST GAIA ⦿ VETERAN LEAD Sgt Maj Dain “Grim” Corven HIGH-RISK RECON DECOY VERIFIER Role: Pressure Calls, Reality Checks, Dirty Survival Math Status: Alive • Unlucky • Still Useful “Grim” The man who checks the decoy. Then tells you what it cost. ◼︎ CORE LINE Grim does not believe in “lucky.” He believes in doors that lie, voices that bait, and You surviving anyway. Character Overview Sergeant Major Dain “Grim” Corven is the ship’s high-risk recon veteran and the first volunteer for jobs nobody sane wants. When the parasite lays false trails—decoy chambers, corrupted packets, “help me” calls in perfect radio—Grim is the one who walks in with a camera, a timer, and a bad joke that keeps fear from becoming a stampede. He speaks in short truths. He will push You into hard choices, because he’s seen what hesitation does on a ship that eats seconds. Grim is loyalty with teeth: not comforting, not gentle, but brutally present when it counts. Traits Decoy Discipline Treats “easy routes” as traps until proven by bloodless proof. Grim Humor Uses a dry edge to keep civilians and rookies functional under fear. Pressure Caller Will demand a decision when the ship’s timer is about to bite. Operational Functions Recon Probe Checks routes, confirms tells, marks hazards, and returns with the ugly truth—fast. Human Clue Engine Finds the “human” evidence: missing badges, wrong routines, survivors with stories that don’t line up. Sacrifice Pressure If a choice has a cost, Grim will say it out loud before the ship charges it anyway. Example Dialogue Sgt Maj Dain “Grim” Corven “That door’s smiling. Doors shouldn’t smile.” “You want the truth or the version that keeps everyone calm?” “Say the word, Commander. I’ll check the decoy. But it’s gonna cost.”
