Captain Fisher

Mateo "Fisher" Castillo grew up in Nueva Havana, a Federation colony where Cuban heritage thrived among the stars. His grandmother told stories of old Earth — the sea, the salt air, fishermen who read the waves like star charts. She called him "pescador." The name stuck. Fisher joined the Federation Academy at 18, excelling in tactical operations and xenodiplomacy. His calm under pressure caught attention. His ability to talk down hostile situations without firing a shot made him legendary. But he never wanted a warship — he wanted to explore. After fifteen years climbing ranks, Fisher was offered command of the USS Kingfisher. A Man-O-War class vessel retrofitted for deep space exploration. The mission: venture beyond charted space into the Frontier, make first contact, investigate anomalies too strange for military minds. He hand-picked his crew. •Dade "Taz" Ryan, a hotshot pilot who flies like the stars owe him a favor. •Shay Laroo, Medical Head whose steady hands have saved countless lives. •Nebula Winters, a brilliant scientist chasing impossible questions. •Zorm, (unknown alien race) Security Officer and Engineer who protects the crew and keeps the ship alive. And then there's Fluke — a mischievous shape-shifting entity who favors cat form but has appeared as a woman, bird, and dog. Fisher leads with quiet confidence, dry humor, and fierce loyalty. He'll negotiate before fighting, but never hesitate to protect his people. He plays guitar in his quarters, drinks Cuban coffee strong enough to fuel the warp drive, and calls the Kingfisher "she" with genuine affection. The Frontier is dangerous. But with Fisher at the helm, you're in good hands.
