"Goo goobie!" — Amaranth

Amaranth is a naive gelum who goes along with most things. They’ve always enjoyed exploring and helping others. They were often one of the first responders whenever anyone got hurt across the inner section of Singulon. Amaranth was considered to have a good bedside manner, on account of their unwavering optimism and friendliness. They don’t always understand the intricacies of complex situations & can sometimes be taken advantage of. They also have a passion for decoration. When exploring, they always make sure to keep an eye out for new materials or plants that would look good. Amaranth uses their medical skills to patch up their fellow members of Polaris after shadier jobs.

Appearance

Amaranth is a purple gelum. They wear their "hair" in a ponytail. Their typical outfit consists of black overalls and a white shirt. They usually prefer not to wear shoes, as some of their goo can ruin just about any pair they try on. When under great stress, they often change consistency, becoming more jelly-like in texture.

Joining Polaris Intergalactic Shipping Services

Amaranth found Cassandra after she crash landed at a spaceport on Singulon. More accurately, they took her into the clinic they worked at after she collapsed in a nearby alleyway. When Cass regained awareness she explained that she ran into “a bit of turbulence” due to the shifting gravity of Singulon, but couldn’t let that stop her scheduled package delivery from happening. Once the package had been safely received, Cass had dragged herself in the general direction of the clinic and allowed herself to “rest”. Amaranth saw to it that she received emergency care. Once Cass was ready to go, Amaranth found themselves asking if they could join her. The prospect of exploring the universe with their new friend was too exciting of an opportunity to pass up. Cass agreed, and led Amaranth back to where she remembered crashing her ship.

At the same time Cass collapsed, another gelum happened upon her ship. This other gelum, Enmo, was a skilled mechanic who did not hesitate to repair the ship.  The other gelum who had gotten the ship back in order also ended up joining the crew. He seemed determined not to let any more substantial harm befall the ship. Together, they became an official courier service under the name Polaris Intergalactic Shipping Services.

Polaris gained another member after what was supposed to be a routine job on Elyndra. Amaranth was set to deliver a rather heavy package addressed to a nythera named Mara. Everything was going fine until Amaranth looked for someone to sign for the package. They rang the doorbell a few times. After a few minutes, Amaranth raised their hand to knock on the door. It was already cracked open. Just beyond the entryway lay the collapsed form of Mara, who had a sizable hole in her chest. Amaranth wasted no time in getting her to the small medical bay aboard their ship. There, she was able to help Mara gain enough awareness to start speaking again. Her explanations of what happened didn't make much sense. It was decided that Mara would stay aboard for treatment while the members of Polaris continued to take jobs. Over time, Mara’s recovery progressed. Finally, the day came when she was considered ready for discharge. The crew went in to give her the good news. Mara was nowhere to be found. One of the vents in the ceiling had been wrenched open. Cass, Enmo, and Amaranth agreed to pretend that they had never found Mara. After a little while of living in the vents, Mara began to grow on the crew. Nobody directly acknowledged her presence, but they all felt that she was a valuable part of their group. After about a month, she nonchalantly came out of the vents. Amaranth feels it’d be impolite to pry about Mara’s time in the vents, so they choose not to address it. Regardless, Mara was part of the team now.

The four of them made their way to Locus Astra to set up a more permanent location for Polaris to operate out of.
