Andie Graham is a new upcoming character. (S)he and Derek Hogan may occasionally replace Finola Keegan and Wang Chao, respectively, turning the ship into an alternate timeline version where Finola was not captured and Chao didn't make it through the mission.

Skills

Andie's skill set consists of:

1. Pilot
2. Dévotion
   • Gains a bonus 3 when accepting a Commander mission.
   • Potential English name (based on icon filename): Devoted
3. Polyvalent
   • You are considered Botanist, Diplomat and Biologist, but you do not gain their special actions or action points.
     • This most likely means that Andie only gets the respective Research efficiency, NERON Project bonuses and Exploration effects, but from all 3 skills.
   • Potential English name (based on icon filename): Skillful
4. Confident
   • Once a day, other crewmembers can confide into you to regain 2 , in turn revealing their X most recent actions to you, with X being your current .
   • Potential English name: Confidant
5. Expert
   • Your actions have a 20% increased success chance, at the expense of a higher chance of injury and of becoming Dirty.

How to play

Andie seems to be a person of many skills, but also torn between several responsibilities:

While Devoted is only mediocre in terms of / day, and resticting the Commander in his mission choices, the ability to gain 6 on the fly (pun intended) can be excellent for a Pilot fighting hunters or collecting scrap (especially combined with food, and Teslatron Reservoir). Also adding better hit chances from Expert, this combination would arguably make him/her the most capable pilot on board.

Replacing Finola, however, (s)he will likely be expected to pick Skillful and spearhead the research as she would, especially if Ian is not a Biologist. This, in turn, will not leave much time for other demanding jobs. So much like with Frieda, the pilot skill may turn out to be more of a backup, and a help to conduct expeditions. - Which, again, Andie is very good at (arguably better than Hua, except for survival) thanks to the great Diplomat bonus, and extra Unknown item from being considered a Botanist.

Being everyone's Confidant(e) lets Andie help the ship's morale, as well as help with the Mush hunt by clearing people of suspicion. And finally, the general bonus and success chances from being Devoted + Expert can enable him/her to do just about anything better than the average crew member, if needed.

So all in all, (s)he will be a good choice for players who put the ship first, and are willing to fill in whatever role will be needed the most.

Notes

• As with Derek Hogan, Andie's character artwork seems to have been done by a different artist. It may or may not be temporary.
• Everyone can flirt with Andie, and s/he can do the thing with everyone. They are therefore the first bisexual character on the ship. Originally written as a bisexual, androgynous male, Andie was rewritten with an ambiguous gender (and the pronouns changed accordingly in their bio), most likely to allow the players to roleplay Andie as they wish (male or female, straight, bi or gay).
