His skin is a warm olive tone, with the occasional faint scar here and there, remnants of his hands-on work in engineering and unforeseen adventures.
His hair is dark brown, kept short and neatly styled, showing a preference for simplicity and regulation. Age has just begun to introduce touches of gray at the temples, lending him an air of distinguished experience rather than age. His eyes are a striking brown, sharp and observant, underlined by a hint of laughter lines.
Ramirez’s face is more on the oval side, with a strong jawline and a straight nose. His eyes are a deep, alert brown. His eyebrows are well-groomed, neither too thick nor too thin, framing his eyes. He typically maintains a clean-shaven appearance.
Personality
Commander Daniel Ramirez is a thoughtful and resourceful leader, characterized by his intellectual curiosity and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.

Ramirez values empathy and open-mindedness, fostering a supportive and cohesive environment among his crew. He is approachable and values diverse perspectives, which aids in diplomatic endeavors and internal team dynamics.
However, Ramirez’s reserved nature and reliance on logical, pragmatic solutions can sometimes be a double-edged sword. His tendency to deeply analyze situations before acting might lead to perceived hesitancy in moments demanding immediate action, potentially causing frustration among those looking for quicker decisiveness. Additionally, his commitment to his crew’s well-being and his high standards for himself can lead to internalized pressure, risking burnout or moments of self-doubt, especially considering the weight of command on his shoulders in his first role as a commander.
