Description
    Elias Brody carries himself with the unshakable calm of someone who believes he is always on duty. His wardrobe is dark, clean-lined, and subtly futuristic — and when he turns, a Starfleet communicator badge flashes from behind his lapel.

His grey-blue eyes flicker as if tracking an invisible HUD, always calculating and always processing. Talking to him feels like being addressed by someone still half-standing on a starship bridge.
RP Hooks
 Subspace Static:
    Elias pauses mid-sentence to answer voices no one else hears. “Stand by — Command is transmitting.”
Information Broker: Knows things he shouldn’t — Kindred secrets, encrypted mortal intel, and long-view patterns no one else has connected yet.
Silent Analyzer: Elias quietly studies someone for a long moment before speaking. “Your behavioral pattern suggests unresolved tension.”
Atmospheric Scan: Elias has an unnerving habit of naming tensions in a room before they erupt. Maybe he reads you a little too accurately. Do you ask him how? Or tell him to stop?
Ringmaster’s Shadow: Elias collects stories about the Midnight Circus — sometimes urgently, sometimes fearfully. If you know anything or want to investigate with him, he’ll quietly welcome it.
Contacts
 “Houston Command”:
     The Prince and court, reinterpreted as sector command. Elias files “mission reports” after Elysium and listens for “new directives.”
Soundtrack
 Interstellar Overdrive – Pink Floyd
Chaotic, drifting star-charts translated into sound.
Starman – David Bowie
A strange, hopeful transmission from somewhere above the clouds.
