A child prodigy who struggles with their sense of self.
Most assume that, at a glance, Charon is cold, standoffish, and unapproachable; this assumption is entirely accurate. Charon is very serious and has little interest in personal relationships with other people as he finds them to be a hassle. Instead, he prefers to bury himself in his work and greatly dislikes being interrupted. He obsesses over small details and is painfully perfectionist, but his work is always impeccable as a result; a skill he takes great pride in.
Underneath the aloof and hostile exterior is a whirlwind of bottled up anxiety, stress, and chronic overthinking, along with an extremely poor sense of self. Having spent most of their life chasing the approval of their extremely critical family, Charon was left with a shattered self-esteem and no true idea of who they really are or what they want. They've learned to bury their emotions deep down, preferring to keep their problems to themself, and thus have great difficulty expressing and sharing their emotions. They also struggle with showing just how much they care for loved ones, but can at least provide a listening ear when needed.
Charon is a holo-technician--he builds and manages holographic devices, primarily communicators and computers. He also dabbles in programming and cybersecurity and has even somehow managed to learn how to manipulate Holo-Guard technology, including the guards themselves.

Childhood/Origin
Charon was a child prodigy, having built and repaired several complex devices before he was 10 years old. He excelled in school, and was always at the top of his class, and by the time he was a teenager he had already graduated higher schooling. Afterwards, however, things began to go downhill for him; the pressure he faced throughout his life to always be the best at everything he does took a massive toll on his mental health. Additionally, he lost a well-paying job opportunity for a reputable company, which lead him into a deep depression as he felt he was a failure. This thought process was only exacerbated by his family, whom were responsible for most of the pressure throughout his life and thus extremely critical of everything he does. After a dramatic falling out with them, he left his home planet at the age of 20 to start life anew elsewhere. He took on several tech jobs to improve on his skills, but ultimately wandered aimlessly as he was unsatisfied with his path in life and unsure of what he really wanted to do.

Aurora
[ friend, crewmate ] Charon sees Aurora as naive, overly-impulsive, and childlike, and often criticizes her "idealistic" attitude and worldview. However, at the same time, he's strongly protective of her and views her as a little sister, taking to mothering her when she's upset or hurt. He objects her chaos (and Astrid's enabling of it) but has undeniable respect for her courage. Deep down, he also takes comfort in her endless optimism and innocence as it reminds him that there is still hope and kindness in an otherwise cold reality.
Astrid
[ friend, crewmate ] Charon's perfectionist workaholic personality clashes with Astrid's laid-back attitude, thus he thinks of her as careless and irresponsible at times, and they often butt heads. However, he still greatly respects her and views her as an emotionally mature and admirable person with incredible talent. He would often go to her for advice or just to vent out his frustrations, and likes to have deep discussions with her about complex topics.
